Space Ship

This Movie is another version of "Light Worms I" so make sure to check out that one, otherwise you won't understand anything, because we will only discuss the differences.

Delete the Guide Layer (now the Clip moves in a straight direction) and the Layer with the circle. Instead of fading out the dot, now make it fade in. In the first frame click the dot and select white color with alpha=0 and in the last one white with alpha=50. In the same place we did the random rotation, add the following Action Script lines:

scale1 = 70 + random(30); // we generate a number between [70..99]
setProperty( _target , _xscale , 150 ); //we make the dot longer (150% from original width)
setProperty( _target , _yscale , scale1 ); //we randomize the height

You can also use a small rectangle and you won't need to resize the width.

We added the Space Ship to complete the effect. Download the source file to see how we did that.
