Shooting star or comet like effect ... How?

[josel]

Hello fellow FLASH'ers!

I have seen some animations where an object leaves a trail behind as it moves ... think of a shooting star or a comet if you will.

How can this be accomplished?

The comet and the "tail" are on separate layers and the "tail" layer has a moving mask layer that is synched with the movement of the comet. Cheers~Frank
