FLASH: Branden Halls Sparks demo...

[Justin Yahnke]

First off, Branden, thanks a ton for making this cool little demo available 

(and the other inifinite amount of info you've given out on this list! You're

a hero.) 


I've been spending some time dissecting Branden's Sparks demo to help me 

figure out actionscript.  I'm a coder (C,Perl,Lingo,CF...)/artist and have

been picking up flash over the last month or so on a clients request. 


I'm having a few questions I'm hoping Branden or someone else can answer

for me...


I understand how the m-draggie/b-makespark thing works, following the cursor

and duplicating/initializing the m-flyspark MC.  From there, I can't figure

out where M-controller comes into play.  I can tell from the scripting in

M-controller that it is what advances the animation, so it seems to me that

M-controller is part of each `spark' - am I right?  If not, how is 

M-controller called or executed for each spark?  That and why are there two

frames in M-controller? 


Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.  Branden, thanks again for

your generosity.
