RaNdOmLy FlOaTiNg BuTtErFlYs On ScReEn?!?!?!?! Options

[Jonathank91]

I found this really neat code that can make random butterflys floating around on the screen. However, I cannot get it to work!!! I found it in the DHTML site, you can look at the demo here, but after I have followed the directions of uploading the picture online and replacing the urls it *still* did not work. It also says to add the script right before the </body> part in the html. This script is similar, I think, to the snow falling script. Does anyone have any advice?

here is the code:

no, that code is different. The floating effect (if you actually went to the link) is not the same.

It's because dynamic drive scripts do not work on xanga.

It's pretty sad because a lot of those scripts are really awesome.
