Re: [flasher] Random Background Generator & Flash

[Helen Triolo]

Hi Peggi.  I have something sort of like what you describe in my Flash 5

journal ( http://i-technica.com/flash5 ) that generates randomly sized

and placed floating bubbles -- the Sept 24 entry shows the code I used

(works in Flash 5 only).  Yell if you'd like me to send you the fla.


Regards,

Helen
