I'm attempting something large for my final project in Flash design this semester, but to do it, I need to find an animated .gif of vertically scrolling stars, like you would see in games like Galaga or any other vertically scrolling shmup.  Or I need to make one.  I have been unsuccessful in both areas.  Does anybody here have any advice (or links) they could lend me?

I'm assuming you already tried Google.

[ToecrusherHammerjaw]

Yes.  You'd be surprised what you can't find on Google.

Why not just animate a basic looping movie clip element?
