I’m trying to do mouse trails in Flash MX, but having some problems. Tutorials are a little unclear. Do you first place your image or text on the main timeline and then actionscript or do you create a movie button, script that and drag onto stage? Anyone with instructions on how to create a mouse trail please help! Thanks.
