Hey i was just wondering how to make buttons so that when you mosue over them they have the kind of “scratched-film” effect shown in here…

I’ve attached a little footer I made that has a scratchy type effect on it.

The way you get this effect is to create a couple of single frame movie symbols - I used a line and a splodge - and place them on the Stage, but outside of your movie boundary. Then attach the following code to each:  
\<i\>  
onClipEvent(load) {  
chanceOfAppearing = 10;  
chance = 0;  
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {  
chance++;  
if (Random(chanceOfAppearing) \< chance) {  
this.\_x = Math.Random()\*300;  
this.\_y = Math.Random()\*60;  
chance = 0;  
} else {  
this.\_x = -100;  
}  
}  
\</i\>  
You can change some of the variables like chanceOfAppearing, so that it becomes less or more scratchy.
