Flash - Create old film grain effect

BELOW IS THE EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE ARE GOING TO CREATE.

In this tutorial I will show you how to create old film effect

1. Create a new flash document and set the dimensions to anything you like. With the help of line tool (N) draw a black line the height of the stage and convert it into a movielcip calling it vertline_MC.

2. Select the new vertline_MC and give it an instance name of vert_line.

3. With the help of Oval tool (O) and draw a small black circle 5x3 pixels. Convert this small circle into a movielcip and call it oval_MC. Give it an instance name of oval.

4. Select the oval_MC and press (F9) to open the actions panel, add the following code.

onClipEvent (load) {
if (this._name<>"oval") {
this._x = random(490);
this._y = random(325);
speck = random(100);
this._xscale = speck;
this._yscale = speck;
}
}

5. Create an empty movieclip that wil contain some of the code to randomise the line and circle movieclips. Press (Ctrl+F8) to create a new empty clip. Select Movielcip and name it base_MC. On the main stage open the Library panel (F11). Drag the base_MC onto the stage and position it off stage to the left. Click on the base_MC and press (F9) to open the actions panel, add the following code.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._parent.line._x = random(490);
for (i=0; i<=2; i++) {
this._parent.oval.duplicateMovieClip("oval"+i, i+1);
}
if (i=2) {
i = 0;
}
}

6. Line up all the movieclips i.e. controller, oval and line off the stage on the left.
