Heya,

I am wondering if anyone has a great example of a spray can effect (mouse down or automatic) with paint dripping down the page?

Many thanks!

```auto
var root:MovieClip = this;
function createSpray(targetMC:MovieClip, x:Number, y:Number, diameter:Number, colour:Number, lineWidth:Number, strength:Number):Void {
	strength = strength || 1;
	radius = diameter/2;
	for (var i:Number = 0; i<strength; i++) {
		var p:Number = (Math.random()*360)*Math.PI/180;
		var xpt:Number = x+(Math.cos(p)*(Math.random()*radius));
		var ypt:Number = y+(Math.sin(p)*(Math.random()*radius));
		targetMC.lineStyle(lineWidth,colour);
		targetMC.moveTo(xpt,ypt);
		targetMC.lineTo(xpt+1,ypt+1);
	}
}
root.onMouseDown = function():Void {
	this.onMouseMove = function():Void {
		createSpray(root,_xmouse,_ymouse,20,0xFF0000,2,6);
	};
};
root.onMouseUp = function():Void {
	delete this.onMouseMove;
};

```
