Hi, i'm trying to create a search light effect and need some help.
Not a spot light using masking, but a beam of light that can be moved and resized to give depth/distance around a..stage for example.
The light must eminate from a fixed point at all times. A tourch flicking around a dark room would be another good example. I was hoping there would be an easy way to do this using a start graphic, next postion(resized/shaped) graphic and simply tweening between them...but alas, no.
Can anyone help ? Are there any tutorials you know of that do this or something similar that can be adapted ?
Thanks, a wannabe Flash developer. :-)
