fizzlemaster3000 is a drawing tool which creates grass-like vectors (fizzles) shooting out of the drawn path. you can set values like the direction those fizzles should point at, the growth/lenght of the generated vectors, their value of disturbance and the amount of fizzles created per mousedrag.

hmm... error on line 1...

if you open the script in a text editor, is there some <html> code inside? if so, download the script again, but do not use "save target as" because it doesn't work that way on this site.

how do you install a new script?

@danny: save / move / drag it to one of the folders within the scriptographer folder which should reside in the plugin folder of illustrator.

@pedro: you mention setting values and i do see function onOptions() within the script but somehow i'm not getting a pop-up / window where i can set those values within illustrator.

@pedro / all:

since i didn't get the pop up menu (mentioned above) i have rewritten your code by looking at the source of textpencil.js, now i do know how to code but i'm not familiar with illy scripting, so it probably will be a bit sloppy and it probably could use some rewriting (tabbing thru the fields are the other way around) but this code works with the specs mentioned below.

My system specs:
Mac OS X 10.4.8
Illustrator CS2
Scriptographer 2.0.019

The rewritten script:
