ActionScript 2.0 :: Mirror Image Effect For Flash Player 7
Jan 25, 2010
I'm trying to make a UCI (user created interface) for the music player, Cowon D2. Basically, I am trying to create mirror effects for album art movie clips.
I have searched high and low but have been unable to find a suitable solution which would work on Flash Player 7 with Actionscript 2.0. I had started to lose hope but decided to ask on this forum as a last attempt.
I have previously just flipped the movie clips then set alphas on them. However, it does not look very nice. I would prefer a gradiented mirror image.
BitmapData and Matrix classes are however not supported by Flash Player 7.
flash and followed a tutorial online on how to make a animated spectrum analyser here - [URL]
What I wanted to know is if it is possible to have a small mirror effect underneath the animation, sort of like this image It obviously needs to be a proper mirror and not just a static image.
The animation itself is 940px wide, 200px high so I will only need the mirror effect to be around 50 - 80 px high.
Is there a way to create a dynamic mirror effect that will create a reflection regardless of what is placed above a set line? Meaning, we should not have to duplicate symbols, flip them and create the effect manually. The flash should be smart enough to create the reflection on the fly.
I want to rotate the object on these axes, but it's causing a problem in that I want to flip the image 180 degrees only, however the image becomes mirrored when it flips and you must continue rotating another 180 degrees to get it back to normal.
Is there a way to take off the image mirror when rotating something?
I have a flex 3 application with 2 titlewindows. When I compile it with the flex 4.1 sdk in flash builder, the titlewindows show up as mirror images of themselves with all text invisible (i.e alpha = 0).
The idea is I have 3x3 containers(Sprites) - each one holds 2 tiles of 2 two images (shown one and unvisible - laying behind) . So there are 9containers and 18 tiles. When I click on the image I get rotation of the containers, and when every container is about 90 degrees, its childs swap each oher. So in result I get second image shown. But unfortunely then, shown image is rotated by 180 degrees, that means its left side is on the right. Pre rotating containers ( of tiles gives total mess, as middle tiles seem to be right, but left side of the image and right doesnt match to rest.So I need to rotate tiles, which are bitmapData - parts of Bitmap. But I can not rotate them - there is no property .rotationY for bitmapData, and I can not use matrix's rotate() method as it traits only angle rotation and not axis rotation.If I rotate by Y axis the bitmap before slicing it to tiles nothing happens, so I guess draw method relies on default Bitmap.
So Q : How can I rotate on Y axis a bitmap to have mirror reflection of the image and then apply it reflected to the as a .bitmapData property and slice it to small pieces.
I'm working on a site [URL] where I'm using an elastic effect on a window that will display the content. Code for elastic is on a frame: rate = .3; decay = .4; window.goal = 50; window._xscale = window._yscale = 0; window.onEnterFrame = function() { [Code] ..... Now all of this code works fantastic when I publish the movie for the Flash 6 Player, but when I change it to the latest Flash 7 Player it doesn't work.
I'm trying to use this effect for a flash image banner that I have, but something is missing from these instructions because when I test the movie, all I get are large white lines covering my images rather than the transparency of the mask over the image http:[url].....
Right so I was just wondering how I would go about creating a 'spotlight' effect on an image in flash. I want to use a background image which is only visible within the 'spotlight' (e.g. everything outwith the spotlight is just black). The spotlight must be able to be controlled by the user (I know how to do that bit at least)
How to recreate an explosion effect like Flash 8 adn MX used to have. It is not in the presets. I tried to break apart but something is missing. How can I accomplish this? I am trying to explode and IMAGE not TEXT. Particle tutorials seem to explode into hundreds of parts. I am looking for 12 to 16 exploded pieces. Again this is for an image not text so the simple Break apart doesn't seem to be working. I am Using Flash CS5.
I have seen this image swirl effect on a visual thesaurus. Is there any open source code for this? I don't care about the algorithm to match similar objects. I only am wondering about the effects.
I want a flash movie with image slideshow with fade effect. When image enter then some text should appear on it and when image change text should also change.
I am trying to make a image slideshow for my companies new website. I used the Flash Image Viewer plugin from Dreamweaver, but it doesn't contain the transitional effect desired.
Every tutorial I find talks about advancing the images through an interactive control, I just want the images to change by themselves and do a fade transitional effect between images. Can anyone please point me to a tutorial that has this w/o the intractive buttons? I have been looking on the internet for hours and can only find tutorials / example w/ the intractve controls.
I'm trying to create a movie clip with images that will slide from one image to another using next and previous buttons. I want a sliding effect. For example on this site: [URL] The right side large image you can slide the image by using the arrows. That's exactly what I want...but in flash.
I'm trying to put a .jpg as an alternate image for if there is no flash player or if someone is trying to access my site from an iPhone. the div i want to insert it into is as below...
do you know about some free flash web application which can load images directly from folder and animate them (as a video player)? I mean, I have a folder with set of images and I want to animate them (switch one by one) in e.g. alphabetic order. Set of images will be randomly cumulate in time therefore I want to automatize this process and that's also why I can't use common video player which works with loading of video file.
Is it possible to load a jpg in place of a flash object if no player is found on the viewers browser?
I've figured out how to load an alternative page using "onload" as part of the body tag if no flash player is found, but just need to have something to load an alternative image object instead.
We are building a flash based product where we need to create icons for various modules. we are having challenges in look and feel of the icons- what looks really good on Adobe Illustrator/ Photoshop looks jagged on flashPlayer. A challenge we have is that the overall screen aspect ratio and hence aspect for the icons which are relatively sized can change
we were told in discussions with some adobe folks that
a) we need to build icons which are square, and in multiples of 32 pixels.
b) use a png format
As per them, this way the pixelation is reduced and diagonal lines won't appear jagged- we still have an issue on rendering in flash player
I'm trying to create an effect such that if an object moves through the right of the stage, it pops out on the left, as if it was just continued on. heres my code so far if its needed
var positiony = 0; var positionx = 0; //------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone know how to mirror a movieclip using actionscript? like mirror to rorrim, I tried using the rotation method but it seems to do it but leave the movieclip upside down
I'm wanting a movieclip to mirror the x and y of the mouse, so when the mouse moves left I want it to move right, only ever meeting at the center point of the page. I have a feeling this has a really simple answer but it's just not coming to me (and google hasn't helped much either). So far,
I`m designing a site with an interactive header created in Flash. how to display an alternative image (a .png) in it`s place if a user doesn`t have the Flash Player? Of course, this is especially important for visitors using iPhones! The site logo is part of the Flash movie, which makes it all the more important that something is displayed in the movie`s place. I`ve heard their are ways of doing it with Javascript, but is this really necessary?
I am having a flash object integrated in my html page. It requires a version of 10 to run it. If the client is not having the flash player of 10 or above, the flash will not come and it will look a bit odd. In that case, I want to show an alternate image. What is the best way to do it?In fact I have the javascript code for it. But I dont know how to utilize it to get what I need.[code]
Im making a sidescroller/Platformer. I did not want my levels to be staright. so there is some variation in the terrain. But if the player is traveling down hill it kinda bounces. And i do not want this...
My client has purchased a Flash template which I'm in the process of editing. The XML file has 5 images linked to the Flash file, I've replaced the first 3 images, all works when uploaded to the remote server but when I delete the the last image (5) only the first 2 images show when run in Flash Player. If I view it in live view Dreamweaver (CS5) it runs with no problems ie it runs through the 4 images as expected.Can't figure it out checked the usual things, deleted the files on the server, cleared the cache in Firefox, I'm quite rattled spent the whole day on this, still can't get it to work.
I'm trying to create a simple image player that tweens from one image to the next every 5 seconds. The data is being pulled from xml.
So far, I have managed to load the image onto the stage, but am now stuck as to how to get it to remove the child showing, the add the next child every 5 seconds.
My Code:
Code: var tweenTimer:Timer; var imageLoader:Loader; var xml:XML;
