OK… that was easy… I like the updated version… it’s a digital bouquet!

The second version is WAY cool!

I’ll look at the code and try to figure out why the lines are all curved and why they all share a common origin.

Thanks for getting back.

Here’s a version of same project with a glow filter applied to myImage sprite which contains all lines.

Here’s a version of a similar project with glow filters applied to each line. Since a filter MUST be applied to display object like a sprite or movieclip rather than a vector line- each of the lines are added to sprites which live inside myImage sprite.

Hey Jess,

I tried to add a glow filter to the output objects, so I added the last line to the following code… but yeah it’s not that easy…. how would I do that?

myImage.graphics.lineStyle(myRandomWidth, myRandomColor);
myImage.graphics.lineTo(myRandomX, myRandomY);
myImage.graphics.new GlowFilter();
