I haven't the faintest idea of how to create a motion trail in Actionscript. My Actionscript is limited to the 'stop' and 'goto' commands.

Yeah, that's the only solution I can think of, but I want it tweened. It saves on file size and it looks much smoother. A friend sent me an example, but I can't make head nor tail of it.

say you have a ball on the left side of the scree, with an instance name of "ball". To make it move to the right with a faint trail, give it these actions:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
i++;
_x +=2;
duplicateMovieClip(this, "ball"+i, i);
ref = _root["ball"+i];
ref._x++;
ref._alpha-=5;
}

Untested, but it should work.
