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

Stage.scaleMode= "noScale";

function CreateCircle(Name,width){

 _root.depthvar++

[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

?

Really really nice effect.

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

width*.75+width*.25

exactly the same as ActionScript Code:

width

?

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 .
