Follow cursor

[Skippers]

I would like to create the effect of a word repeated and falling like rain randomly from a cloud with different alphas for the word.

The cloud and rain will then follow the cursor around the screen.

Any help would be great, many thanks

ps: if you change the interval on the timer (first line of code) to 100 insted of 500 or 250 it gives a much nicer effect!
ps1: sorry forgot to integrate the alpha but it's fairly easy to do, just put before the add child txt.alpha= whatever.

Thanks very much indeed, I'll take a look

That's fantastic! Much appreciated. For the text what I meant was to have each word set a random alpha so they wont all be the same.

What I also wanted to do was have a cloud over the rain and they both follow the cursor around the screen.

Is it possible to have a layer above all this? When I put one in as the top layer, the animation played over the top of it.

any idea how I can add a graphic from the library above this movie clip to cover some of the animation? I'm struggling to understand how to use containers
