Re: FLASH: Tornado Effect

[Dorian Nisinson]

Hi Marc, 

	Wouldn't it depend on how much of the screen real estate is involved in

the tornado effect. If it just needs to be in a small section I would

try doing it with action scripting the different objects to rotate. Use

incrementing and decrementing _x and _y locations. That's what I would

try first.
