1. Open Flash by clicking on the Flash Icon on the dock:


  2. Create a new document. Make sure it is Actionscript 2


  3. Save (+SHIFT+S) document in work folder:


  4. Insert a new Symbol. Make it a movie clip symbol. Draw some shape. For mine, I drew a star.

  5. Open up the Properties window

  6. Drag an instance of your movie clip from the library on to the stage and name it in the Property window.


  7. Insert a new layer and name it actions



  8. Open the Actionscript window and set the variable counter to 0



  9. You want something to happen to the clip ( a Clip Event) every time the mouse moves 
    count=0;
//name of clip to move
_______.onMouseMove=function(){
    startDrag(this,true);
     
count++;
//name of clip to move
this.duplicateMovieClip(["_______"+count],count)
_root["_______"+count]._x=this._x;
_root["_______"+count]._y=this._y;
//_root["_______"+count]._xscale=100-count*10;
//_root["_______"+count]._yscale=100-count*10;
myColor=new Color(_root["_______"+count]);

myColor.setRGB(Math.random()*0xFFFFFF);
if (count>20){
    count=0;
}
    
/*
//if you wanted a random size
randSize=Math.random()*(_root["_______"+count]._width);
_root["_______"+count]._width=randSize;
_root["_______"+count]._height=randSize;
_root["_______"+count]._alpha=_root["_______"+count-1].alpha-10;
*/
updateAfterEvent();
}


_______.onMouseUp=function(){
    stopDrag();
    for(x=21;x>0;x--){
        _root["_______"+x].removeMovieClip();
    }
}


  10. Create more layers and create your own illustration.

  11. Save and publish
