He is my first submission :D. I will probably have more updates on it soon. Currently, it is 24 lines.

Stage.scaleMode= "noScale";
function CreateCircle(Name,width){
_root.depthvar++
mc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip (Name,depthvar);
mc.lineStyle(width/4,0x5797D7,30);
mc.beginFill(0x48BCE1,50);
for(var t=0;t<360;t+=10){
if(t!=0) mc.lineTo((width*.75+width*.25*Math.sin(t*5*Math.P I/180))*Math.cos(t*Math.PI/180),(width*.75+width*.25*Math.sin(t*5*Math.PI/180))*Math.sin(Math.PI/180*t));
else mc.moveTo((width*.75+width*.25*Math.sin(t*5*Math.P I/180))* Math.cos(t*Math.PI/180),(width*.75+width*.25*Math.sin(t*5*Math.PI/180))*Math.sin(Math.PI/180*t));

Please let me know what you think!

Very nice :)

[kdd]

very "kool" :)

[Nikaosky]

Great stuff Freeskier!

[icio]

Nice :)

[Seb Hughes]

Sweet

[virusescu]

That's awesomeeeee.

me.createSomethingNew(now);

[freeskier89]

Thanks everyone! :) It is now 25 lines (added Stage.scaleMode="noScale")

[boohaha]

Smooooth!!!

[hybrid101]

wow, nice effect!!!

[Sinister Shadow]

Wow!

[Sammo]

Really really nice effect.

Just curious here, but isn't:

width*.75+width*.25 exactly the same as
width?

[Sinister Shadow]

:lol:

[freeskier89]

Really really nice effect.

Just curious here, but isn't:
ActionScript Code:

width*.75+width*.25



exactly the same as ActionScript Code:

width



?:lol: yes it is, but in my case it isn't because there is a multiplicative operation following "width*.75" ( Math.cos(...) . Kind of like:

a*.75+a*.25*3 != a*3

if width*.25 + width*.75 was in parenthesis, you would be right.

I said it once and I'll say it again, very nice :thumb:.

[McGiver]

yeah looks cool and smooth :love:

[ahmed]

wow

[SimplyArun]

Awesome!
