Hey guys,

prefacing the fact that i am a total noob… why wont thins srcipt work in flash 8 or above?

var frameTime = 3;  
for (var i = 1; i\<=5; i++) {  
this.pointMc[“p”+i].\_visible = 0;  
}  
this.pointMc.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (timer++%frameTime == 0) {  
mc = this.duplicateMovieClip(“pointMc”+i, 999+i++);  
mc.\_rotation = random(360);  
}  
};

i have found this script that makes a nice masking text effect with particles

thank you
