First Of All:
Open Swishmax 4 and set the movie properties to the following – Width = 556 – Height = 408 and a frame rate of 25, set the background to a sky blue colour #5BCCEC.
Step.1
using the Pencil Tool (N) 
have a line selected with the stroke fill of solid white, see below.
On the stage scribble out a basic cloud shape.
add the following filter settings to the shape you have just scribbled.
test in player, your scribble should now resemble a cloud.
Group the cloud shape as a movieclip and name it Cloud
add the following code to the cloud movieclip
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 | onFrame (1) { speed=randomRange(1,3); scale=randomRange(90,150); this._y=random(Stage.height); } onSelfEvent (enterFrame) { this._x-=speed; if(this._x<-200){ this._x=Stage.width+300; this._xscale=scale; this._yscale=this._xscale; this._alpha=randomRange(80,100); gotoAndPlay(1); } } onFrame (2) { stop(); } |
this code will place the cloud at random loacations on the stage no matter of width and height, scale randomly and give random speed of the cloud.
now add the following code to Scene_1 of the movie.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | onSelfEvent (load) { fscommand("fullscreen", true); amount=15; } onFrame (1) { for (puffy=0; puffy<amount; puffy++) { duplicateMovieClip(_root.cloud, "cloud"+puffy, puffy); } } |
