Question : help, using a gif of flame that follows cursor to burn off page?

alright. I am extremely new to flash mx and the studio, and so far I have faired pretty well.  What I have it two pictures, one in color, and a almost identical one in charcol black and white. What I want to do is have the cursor be a small flame and where ever the cursor moves on the page for it to burn at the color picture and reveal the black and white one beneath it.  Basically burning off the top part.  Im not sure if I can use masks to do this or how to initiate the travel of it to stay once the cursor moves.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer : help, using a gif of flame that follows cursor to burn off page?

you can put the flame on the cursor just by using this code to attach the movieclip to the cursor...

here is the code you would put on the flame movieclip:

onClipEvent(load){
  Mouse.hide()
  startDrag(this, true);      
}


if you only want to attach the flame when you click a button use this:

on(release){
  Mouse.hide()
  startDrag(_root.flame, true);
}


this assumes you have given the movieclip an instance name of "flame" and it is located in the root or level 0 of your movie...


let me know if you need more help...
