Fern Take 2 or is that 50

Right now I am frustrated with creating a realistic interaction between the mouse and the leaves. Flash’s event model makes it difficult to determine, with event handlers, if the mouse is touching two objects when the objects are overlapping. I am trying to avoid having each leaf check the mouse itself as this would be performance costly with hundreds of leaves. In the future I will create a system that objects register with that will have allow them to check only when things are close to them. Anyone else have any ideas? Things I am interested in doing before this are making the growth look more realistic and adding in more leave bitmaps.

Don’t have flash? Get it here

    hmm interesting the way yo make the leaves, will moves when the mouse nearby. Only, I hope I can see more realistic leafs and hopefully can zoom in, more organically growing, and rotate it 360 degree. You know, somehow, I think if its skeleton of some kind of tails will looks more cooler ;)
