Spiderman

Hey,

I've seen Spiderman 2 recently, and I couldn't help wondering how they did their spiderwebs at the beginning of the movie. So if you guys want to try to make it in Flash...

How's this for a basic spider web?

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("pen", 1)
_root.pen.moveTo(200,200)
_root.pen.lineStyle(5)
_root.xes = new Array()
_root.yes = new Array()
for ( i = 0; i < 7; i ++) {
  point = ((2 *Math.PI) /8) * i + (Math.random() * ((2 * Math.PI) /7)
  x = Math.cos(point) * 100
  _root.xes[i] = x
  y = Math.sin(point) * 100
  _root.yes[i] = y
  _root.pen.lineTo(200 + x, 200 + y)
  _root.pen.moveTo(200, 200)
}
_root.pen.lineStyle(0)
for (i = 0; i < 50; i ++) {
  strand = i % 7
  x = _root.xes[strand] * i/50
  y = _root.yes[strand] * i/50
  _root.pen.lineTo(200 + x, 200 + i)
}

I know it's not the most asthetically pleasing thing, and it's probably inefficient, but it's my first go at these challanges

You can change the numbers to get different styles of web, such as having the first loop going until i < 19, changing the 8 to a 20, the 7's to 19s and the 50 to 500s. however, you'll need to change the line style to get some kind of visible image. I find 0 is good for that one.

Hope you like it.
