Creating
eye-catching effects in Flash might not be an easy task. Well, unless you know some tricks!
For example, only the most skilled Flash developers can create impressive effects with Actionscript alone. Why not then combine your traditional animation skills (by "traditional" I mean "not Actionscripted") with just some basic AS code?
This tutorial is an example of this tactic. In order to create a "buring cursor effect", or a "flame trailer" if you will, like the one you can see below, we are first going to create a short animation within a Movieclip, and then do the magic out of this by writing a few lines of code.
