Random particles question - for flash 8

hi there.

I am trying to create a random particle effect that zooms from the distace to the foreground. I’ve seen and used methods like with “create fallign snow” but i’d like to change it to zoom instead of fall. (thinks starfield but with larger, scaling objects instead of stars)

has anyone seem a tutorial or sample with this type of effect?

thanks for any help or info!
