Well I've searched... and searched... and yet I still know that someone else is going to have searched once and found what I want. But anyways, I am interested in learning a lot about particle effects (I think that's what they're called), and getting into at least Flash 8. All that I have messed around with right now is trying to create a bitmap trail, but I don't really understand any of it. I have looked at several fla's, but have been unable to get any of it to work. Where do I get started? Are there tutorials on this type of thing? Thanks for any help, I'm willing to learn, just don't know where to start.
