Btw, the spider does go across again, just at random times, so you might have to wait for it.

thx flex - you are truly talented

heres what blows my mind  
ok the actions that are on the spider MC :

onClipEvent (load) {  
function reset() {  
ex = 20;  
s = (random(5)+5);  
this.\_x = 760;  
\_alpha = 100;  
}  
reset();  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
go = random(10);  
if (go == 1) {  
\_x -= s;  
yn = random(50);  
if (\_x\<ex && yn == 1) {  
reset();  
}  
if (\_x\<250) {  
\_alpha–;  
}  
}  
}

did you just sit down at your comp and go “hmmm lets see” and just rattle off that code from your head?  
this is amazing to me if its true and i would love to be on that level but have no clue where to begin.  
how the HELL do you know exactly what as to use -function reset, yn=random…gah i have a headache  
this is all so confusing  
not to be a p.i.t.a. but if you could explain it like you would to a momo like me id really appreciate it  
thx

Hi pixel\_fiend, please pose your code with the code tage as there are some problems with tags getting mixed up with smilies at the moment.

Btw the code is very simple actionscript.

Hehe. I didn’t like college - didn’t like the idea of “conforming”. Check your pm’s.

Correction in the fla. - The bit where it says “speed is a random number from 5 to 5” should read “5 to 10”.
