Re: FLASH: Random Stars

[Cheri Harder]

Darren, it seems to me that I have discovered, and someone else confirmed I

THINK, that duplicate movie clips always seem to appear on top of everything

else.  I had assumed that it was on top of everything else in that layer,

but now that I think about it, I think it is on top of anything on the

stage.  This would make sense (kind of) because the layers are all flattened

at publication, I think, and only the order is remembered.  Then, since new

mc's are created on the fly, they're on top.  I am not really clear on what

the "level" when you duplicate them is, then, but I do know if you put them

all on the same level they will overwrite each other.


Wonder if Flash 5 is going to give us more control over duplicated mc's?


At any rate, it doesn't seem to matter much in your case, because they

rarely appear over a letter and it doesn't look bad when they do, to me,

hardly noticeable.  The only other thing I can think of is to decrease their

alpha even a bit more...


Turned out nice!
