Leaving trails behind a moving object?

i have an object on a motion path and want it to leave a solid trail of itself when it moves (no fade and stage isn’t cleared)

any help would be great, my actionscript is pretty basic

cheers

try a shap tween…just like if you had a box…i will make an example. hold on

like htis? simple really, just increase the size.

thanks, but that’s not quite what i’m after.

the kind of effect i want is like someone drawing freehand on the screen, the dot of their paintbrush is moving and all the places it has been before its mark is left

–hope this is a better explanation

did you try a Repeating movie clip?

how is that done?

basically your telling flash to leave your image at the same place and then fade away… (and eventually unload the image)

maybe this will help? if this is what your are trying to do
