Hey all,

I’ve been trying to get an effect similar to this one : [http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Effec…5696/index.php to work, but I’m not having much luck. I’ve found a few files, including one in this topic : [URL=“http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Effects/Mouse\_Trailers/Sparkles-Joost\_va-5696/index.php”]http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50767&page=1](http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Effects/Mouse_Trailers/Sparkles-Joost_va-5696/index.php)

If you’ll look at the files you’ll see basically what I need.

Neither of those effects will work when I try to use them in my file… Does anyone know how to code this effect in Flash 8?
