Well, the Holiday Weekend silence has been almost deafening, and, for now, I

gotta wrap up this movie with a different effect that I *can* do.


But I would still like to know whether anyone has done something like this ... I

haven't time to meditate on the actionscripting at the moment, though I will

later.


Also I would still like to understand the Duplicate Movie Clip action better ...

where do people put the original instance of the movie clip (one seems to *have

to* pre-exist, because there has to be an instance *with a name*, to refer to in

the actionscript).


Thanks,


Ken Sherwood
