Follow cursor

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

here you go hope it helps, there's a flash cs3 and flash cs4 file i ther for you!

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
