Hi Ron,
Thanks for jumping into this thread amongst the tumbleweeds. Yes, I suspect
something logarithmic could work but don't know where to start. I am trying
to distribute 1000 particles randomly in a rectangular distribution area,

It seems flash 7 and 8 are different in how they load movie clips. Using an

Flash 8 loads them first in last out, where Flash 7 loads them first in

Of course, it's still pretty easy to decompile most swf's, since it is an open
