Does anyone have any tips on how I could replicate the falling leaves effect from the home page.  I'd like to do something like this on my own website, but I'm not sure how to get started.  Is this a Flash thing or could I do it in Fireworks?

Oh man.... it's been forever since I took web design... I believe to do that kind of effect... it's an image layer thing..... from a quick look at the source file, it's Java script based.

here's a quick find link for the code. www.felgall.com/jstip62.htm?fm

Though the ones on the wizards site are different, you can likely go thru the javascript and replace the image files for the leaves for others.  If you want the ones wizards is using try contacting the webmaster, or customer support for the image files.

admittedly the link I gave is a pretty rough(and old) version of the script needed but, I just did a  search on google, for "falling leaves javascript"

www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex3/leave... (better leaves but a little fast, though that can be adjusted)

rainbow.arch.scriptmania.com/scripts/bg/... (still fast, but greater variaty of leaves)

There are lot more, it's a fairly easy to find script.

Or just rip them from this site.

Which page has the falling leaves? I haven't seen any...

  this one does

I was going to rip it off the source code but I couldn't figure out which part it was

no problem!

it's a script a lot of people want, for various holidays. Just follow the directions to install it as a .js

ok, so I have it working but only in explorer.  the script isn't running in Firefox or Safari (I have checked that javascript is enabled on both of those browsers).  Anyone have any suggestions.  Here's the link to my site.
