This holding page built for Polydor artist, singer / songwriter Leona Naess features an animated logo with random fades and glows. The flash random timing actionscript is something I have utilised in the past to create similar effects (see: Flash mousetrails with random flashes!).
The holding page also features a streaming mp3 (using flash), mailing list signup form with javascript validation embedded youtube video and google analytics.

Back again, my pet tadpoles (they still haven't grown into frogs yet!). This time I am going to explain the actionscript that makes them move, turn and run from the mouse. Firstly, heres an example of what they do (move your mouse over them and watch 'em swim away): Read on…
This is an example of the Flash intro I created for lazer's site using a repeat pattern of his logo. It runs a random ActionScript that causes the colors to change and the logos to flicker occasionally. The logos also respond to the mouse creating a trail effect as you move the mouse over them.
This is very cool, thank you for sharing. I can't wait to try it
Hi, I tried this out and am having trouble getting it to work. Am I supposed to have 2 different layers, one for tadpole and one for mouse_mc? Also, my transparent pixels don't seem to be attached to my mouse…
Hi Sherry
They can be on separate layers, or both the same layer, it shouldn’t matter. Did you give the movie clips instance names in the ‘properties’ panel?

Thanks in advance,
bex.
