I want to make stars that shine, for example, and don't want to use a huge active object set behind everything else. Is it possible? Thank you! -- "Del Duio has received 0 trophies.

(I'm not sure if the performance boost would overcome the loss) -

Del Duio Born in a Bowling Alley Registered 29/07/2005 Points 1078	13th November, 2007 at 18:12:41 - Yeah, that's the most important thing since all of my bricks, walls, and floors are backdrops themselves. -- "Del Duio has received 0 trophies.
