Hello all,
I was very intrigued by this effect, and wondered if anyone could help me get started on it.
I’ve seen it several places, but could not find any tuts on it.
Heres where I saw it last :::

(also saw it on this site somewhere, just forgot where 🙂 )
Thanks,

Just a bunch of mc’s placed in such a way to represent the letters ‘i’ and ‘t’. Each mc has actions that make it move away from the mouse on rollover. Look closely and you’ll see that they dont always move the same way, so its a random direction.
I dont know the script off the top of my head, but i’m sure its not too hard to work out, or at least find a source for something similar.
Regards,
Viru.

script? something like is this one!
on the movie clip
```auto
onClipEvent(load){
myX=this._x;
myY=this._y;
endX=null;
endY=null;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(root._xmouse==myX and root._ymouse==myY) {
endX=myX+(random(100)-50);
endY=myY+(random(100)-50);
}
this._x += (endX-this._x)/speed;
this._y += (endY-this._y)/speed;
if(this._x==endX and this._y==endY){
endX=myX;
endY=myY;
}
}
```
that should work. Play with it.
