Here are another couple of approaches to drawing stars. You'll have to use Opera or IE/ASV -- something that supports SMIL:

Hi, Richard, this doesn't pertain to the topic of the thread anymore, but for a script based alternative solution to the specific problem of creating stars have a look at http://frankbruder.fr.ohost.de/FeSVGDoc/save.xhtml#exampleStarrySky Of course, avoiding filters would be a poor solution, and is not a solution at all if you can do it only in some frames. I'd like to add that filters are a feature a partial implementation of which can be worse than no implementation. It is well possible to create a graphic with filters which still does make sense, but is less compelling, when filters are ignored. When some filter primitives are implemented, but others not; or when filters work, but get messed up in dynamic documents then the image gets broken. With SMIL animation it's the same, so I hope not ever to see incomplete SMIL animation support in a Firefox release version. I once tested the FakeSmile greasemonkey script on some of my animated graphics, and it was a mess, because additive animation wasn't supported.
