Hello everybody. I just started using Flash MX 2004 seriously about a few weeks ago (before that all I used it for converting gif animations to swf files…I know, shame on me), and I’ve mostly learnt what this website has been teaching. I’ve mostly been able to do the snow effects, and the vibrating objects, and I’ve tried to combine both, but to no success :puzzled:
What I’ve been trying to do was create my name (which is “Andrei”…yes, hello everyone), and make it vibrate/pulsate using a heartbeat type of rythm. Of course, I have no idea how to do that. Also, everytime my name would vibrate, I would’ve wanted it to shake off snow-like particles which are in fact small letters spelling out my fiance’s name (who is “Karen”), but the letters would fall randomly. The effect is similar to holding up a sugar coated donut, then tapping it, and watching the dust fall off.
Some of you could probably tell that this is for valentines, and I was hoping to send her an email with this attached, just to use as a little something to spice up the email. 
Hopefully one of you could be so kind as to teach me how to do this (not just make it for me, because I would really like to learn how to do this myself). If it matters, the movie size was supposed to be w240xh156…just a small clip so as to not make uploading a problem.
Many thanks in advace to anybody and everybody who would help me out.
