Can you animate shadows with mcTween like all the other filters, or not? I'm guessing no because I didn't see it in the documentation, and i tried a few variations of what it might be.
View 5 RepliesI'm working on a AS3 Game Engine at the moment utilizing Box2D (2.1a) and 2D shadows. I have Box2D down but I've yet to find a way of drawing 2D shadows efficiently.I was following this tutorial only to be disappointed by the speed at which it rendered the Box2D shapes and the shadows.I was getting the vertices of the objects via this function:[code]And using it to draw the shadows via the AS3 graphics api.Can anyone recommend me a better more efficient way of programming 2D shadows?

Well, everything is in the title! I have an flash animation of a turning object, then I would like to add something under it that follows its movement, such as a dynamic shadow or a dynamic reflect.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a tile based game, inspiredb by tutorials from the book "the essential guide to flash games". Please have a look at [URL] -- edit: by the way, the game idea is by no means mine, but i want to replicate the old game "sensitive" from the c64 [URL] for learning purposes I want to add shadows to all objects that stand in the water. However, since I want to keep my sprite count to a minimum, I have put all objects that don't do anything in a background bitmap. The best solution I can think of is to have:
1) a background bitmap (won't change during level)
2) a background shadows bitmap (won't change during level)
3) a sprite layer
4) and a sprite shadow layer at every screen, but this seems like a lot of work for just shadows.
Is there any way to turn off all special FX's and especially dropShadow's on all objects inside the application ?

View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know how to go about animating a movie clip that would go behind another movie clip?
For instance: A stack of photos, that on click, the top photo would animate to the left (or right) and then animate to the back of the stack. My only problem is that i don't understand how to change the order of things, or if this is even possible (as essentially eveything is on layers), the only way i can think of is to have everything on one layer, but then this would interupt the animation of each photo

View 1 RepliesThe problem is that the whole function of adding a movie clip to another movie clip suddenly has been disabled or something. I took a look at previous work of mine (.fla of course) because I suddenly remembered I used a movie clip in a movie clip, and that randomly doesn't work anymore either. Even the time line is edited: just 1 keyframe and nothing more, but increasing the timeline keeps it static regardless.
View 7 RepliesI am trying to saturate a flash animation from left to right with a blurred wipe. I am attempting to do this by creating duplicate movie clips, with one of the movie clips having a filter to completely desaturate the color. I am hiding the saturated movie clip with a mask (basic rectangle) that I am animating to move out of the way revealing the "color". I would like my desired effect to "fade" in by adding a horizontal "x" blur to the mask. I have been successful at wiping in the saturation, but Flash seems to be ignoring the blur on the mask I have created.

My problem is to animate a line, a line starting from a point and progressively increasing in length over time. I cannot achieve this using the draw methods in flash. Because when using these methods to draw the line the results occur in a "Flash".

I am trying to create a butterfly to fly in front of an image gallery, kinda to be funny. I am new at this, so its probably easy and I just forgot, but I need some help please.
I create the butterfly on the stage, make into a movie clip symbol. Click inside the movie clip....and then what? I want to be able to click on the butterfly that is sitting on a leaf, once it is clicked on it will fly in front of the image gallery (I have already created, and seems to work) for a few seconds and then fly back to the leaf.
recently I was looking for a simple way to move an object along the curve in pureactionscript.Is there any up to date package except the obvious flash tansitions that you could recommend?

View 1 RepliesHere's an easy question for any actionscript expert: how would you load 200+ BMP images and play them frame by frame ?I have a short animation consisting of about 200 BMP files. I would like to turn it into an SWF. With all 200 of them in the Library, I'm trying to figure out the best way of loading each frame one by one so we can turn this series of frames into an SWF. Without actionscript, you could add them all to the stage, distribute them to layers, then arduously create keyframes one by one for each layer until you have done all 200.

View 5 RepliesI'm looking for some help animating a vertical accordion menu to swoop out after swooping in. I hacked a crappy menu I found, made from AS 1.0/2.0(?), and I used AS 3.0 on the main timeline to make it slide into stage.The first tier buttons expand & collapse using some AS crap I don't understand, but I finally figured out how to get the second tier buttons to trigger collapse onClick.The thing is: I also want the second tier buttons to slide the entire menu back of stage onClick and I can't figure out how to do it!Do I need to add some AS function to the individual buttons or should I be putting some AS 3 into the main timeline?
View 1 RepliesI have a project that requires a rollover. When the object is rolled over, a quote animates (fades in). On roll out, it fades out. The easy way would be to do it on the timeline, but if the roll over isn't long enough for the animation (fade in) the roll out starts at 100% alpha then down to 0%.
how to expand the animation for 3 more quotes.

ok, i'm trying to animate an object's alpha by as...
thats what i thought was corect:
itm3.onRollOver = function() { itm3.gotoAndPlay("over");}itm3.onRollOut = function() { itm3.gotoAndPlay("out");}itm3.onPress = function() {var newsFade:Tween = new Tween (_root.newsMc,alpha,Regular.easeIn,100,1,2,true);
}
not working...
So, I had a problem animating a movie clip on mouseover which was solved here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/496745?tstart=0 Now the problem I'm having is that I want to movie some of those clips to a lower layer so that they animate behind an object on the top layer.If I put the same code on that bottom layer as in the top layer,
leaf.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,doStartAnim);
it tells me that I have a duplicate function definition.If I cut out the second half of the code,
function doStartAnim(e:MouseEvent):void {
e.currentTarget.play();
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,doStartAnim) ;
}
and just put that other part it doesn't give me the error, but mousing over the leaf does nothing. Any thoughts?
P.S. - If I leave the entire code for the movie on the top layer (with the movie on a seperate background layer) I get the following error:
Description: 1120: Access of undefined property leaf5. Source: leaf5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,doStartAnim);I hope that all makes sense!
