Tell me your AIM address or e-mail address and I'll send you the .fla.
basically what I did was make a movie clip, make a ball, and made a motion tween. The last frame had alpha set at 25, and in the frame I put stop(); and this.removeMovieClip();

then put that movie clip into another movie clip, and made 2 idential keyframes.
I gave the 2 frame movieclip the instance name of ball. The first keyframe had the following script in it:

duplicateMovieClip("ball", "ball"+id, id);
setProperty("ball"+id, _rotation, Math.random()*360);
setProperty("ball"+id, _xscale, Math.random()*32);
setProperty("ball"+id, _rotation, Math.random()*32);
id = id+1
//what this did was duplicate the movie //clip every time the frame is //encountered, then set the rotation to
//a random amount between 0 and 360.
//Then did the same for xscale and
//yscale, creating alot of completely //random scaled balls in a random
//direction.

Then what I did was loop it, by putting gotoAndPlay(1); in the second keyFrame of my ball movieClip.

Then I had the ball movieclip on the main stage, and in the movieclip, put this script to make it follow my mouse.

onClipEvent(load)
{startDrag("",true);}

I'm probably leaving stuff out, but just post your e-mail here, and I'll e-mail you the .fla file, so you can have a look yourself.

Hah! Thats what I thought too, but its pretty simple once you look at it piece by piece.

Blue doesn't go away. :S
