RE: FLASH: How do they do it?

[Mike S. Krischker]

	As I understand it, it's not a line, but a tiny little spot

	that fades out in hundreds (if not thousands) of mcs.


	Must be either a perfectionist or a Flash fanatic...


	But if someone finds out how to achieve this easier with

	actionscript,	I would be interested too.

I hate to give bad news, but I think this isn't as simple as you all are

sounding. Correct me if I am wrong, but the effect is not just a red line

that fades following the cursor. In fact, particularly when the cursor moves

"obliquily" (sorry about that english). What I have noticed is that the red

line does some kind of wave in these movements.

Could it be that this involves some kind of mathematical script that

calculates how the line should draw itself? If this is the case then we are

talking definitely about a Flash 4 effect.
