How do you make static and if you can't do this effectively where do you find it. You see it all the time in flashes such as "Rockoons 2" and "MGS collab" I really need help on this.

Well, in MGS collab, you could find the spot where the static comes up, and right click and hit "Foward" to frame by frame play it.

you didn't understand. how do you make it in CS3. Playing the movie frame by frame wont help. any websites that offer static sprites or something.

just get into paint, select the spray can option, then cover the screen with various shades of black and greys and whites. you can make white noise (static) with actionscript, but i can't tell you how, you have to look it up.

Or, you can download Audacity and select "White Noise" for "Effects".

You can do it with as 3.0 use a bitmapdata and do black white perlin noise, vary and iterate a bit to have some different samples then play them in a row.

my method is to make a .jpg in photoshop. Load in any picture, that is slightly larger than your flash stage dimensions. Apply a filter called 'Add Noise'. Turn the amount up to 400%. Voilá! Static .jpg. How you use it in Flash depends what you're going to do with it. You could put 4 frames of it into a movieClip and rotate each frame 90 degrees, and add a gotoAndPlay(1) action on the last frame of the movieClip timeine. Or, you could script the whole thing with some code like:

on(enterFrame){
this._rotation += 90;
}

The choice is yours. Hope this helped :D
