No way! I'm as wet behind the ears with this as others. To be honest I'm shocked the people who have been playing with pre-release Tiger aren't well up on this.
Ideally, I'd like to spit out random values for the Bee to fly to and from every 3 seconds, but haven't figured that out yet. I'd also like to position two Bee images at the same spot, one rotated around the Y-axis so that it is rendered as two intersecting images and will be more visible at any one time as it is rotating around the other axes.
Thoughts?

The two bee thing is easy - not sure how a billbaord would help? - it was mroe the 3 second random number change I was stuck with.

Haven't got the app open at the moment but you might achieve that effect with a maths modifier and a randomiser patch, calculate your coordinates and plug it into your image patch. X+Y=RND value and limit the random values to taste.

The billboard thing saves having to render twice, as a billboard is a sprite that always faces the camera.
Now to look into the 3 second issue.

Heh, I thought you meant Billboard as in advertising space, I was thinking about tripping out in front of a massive version of Geeza's psychedelic summer themed composition

I refuse to buckle to the Bleatings massive. I'm one for different sections and am only going to support that.
Of course I don't mind!! It's a bit humbling with you and Rod to be honest, you're both so damn good with these gadgets.
