Hey there all, I’m just trying to replicate this effect

[http://www.reactiondynamics.com/sd2.swf](http://www.reactiondynamics.com/sd2.swf)

using flash. So far, using Senoculars blurred trails example on his website, I’ve got this:

Only, it doesn’t look right and I’m not sure how I can get it looking better. For instance, how can I remove the spacing that appears as dots spin, and also, how do I elongate the trail, and make the blur falloff ? If it can’t be done in flash, what program can I do it in?

Any help appreciated 🙂
