I've been trying to animate my avatar a bit with some electrons moving along the lines leaving a short lived glowing trail... Kind of like the little sparkles in the header on the CoolBlueV2 theme on this site...

I just can't seem to figure out how to do it in flash tho...

Any pointers or suggestions ? Or if anyone knows a tutorial that may help I'd appreciate the info icon_smile.gif

I ususlly use a circle with the Alpha on the edges faded. For a trail I use a long rectangle with the trailing side Alpha faded. It's really about trial and error to see what looks right with the graphic thats underneath it.
Once you get one that you like, you can convert it to a movie clip and use it repeatedly.

Nicely done icon_smile.gif I think I'm making progress with my version too, I should be done tweaking it in a year or three (I'm not great with graphics at the best of times)

Definitely gonna take a look at what you did with that one tho icon_smile.gif If you don't mind.
