I'm trying to make a mouse trail, and the duplicated MCs are supposed to become lighter and lighter.
duplicateMovieClip (_root.dragger, drag1, 1)
drag1._alpha=75
thats my code...why's it not working? I got that from the Elastic Ball Open source.
I tried to put in the code for mouse trail on my website but it doesnt work? is it a flash thing? can someone please show me the html code to add text mouse trail effect like the one on this site?
View 4 Replies[URL] from here i understand the action script. i want to change the text color so i did this:
Text = "welcome to darkside";
letters = Text.split("");
letterformat = new TextFormat();
[code]....
here i added this action so i can change the color do i need to include the code for white color? or just teh name iv tried both ways the text color stays teh same! and then all of this after it:
spacing = 8;
speed = 3;
for (var LTR = 0; LTR<letters.length; LTR++) {
[Cdoe]....
so how should i modify the script, when i want to use three small, different images instead of just one (imagine three stickmen chasing the cursor as if connected there with an elastic band) ? i tried, but this bypasses my beginner's skills by far
View 7 Repliesi am trying to create a trail behind an object - like a mouse trailer. i have found many mouse trailer scripts but do not know what to adjust so that it will follow an object/symbol...

I'm trying to duplicate this type of mouse trail. I can't tell if it's deforming a movie clip or drawing separate objects on the stage. I can duplicate it at slow speeds, but at a fast speeds I have no idea how they're doing it.
The MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE is way to slow on the update to draw exactly where the mouse is going so I tried using curveTo to create a curve but unfortunately you still hit a point where you get a sharp angle.
I've been busy with a small tutorial on creating a flaming mouse trail. I'm getting two errors though in the same line which I do not understand in the following part of my code:
function startTheFire( e:Event ):void{
TweenLite.to( e.target,0, {alpha: ( e.target.alpha -= 0.05 )} );
if ( e.target.alpha < = 0 )
e.target.removeEventListener( Event.ENTER_FRAME, startTheFire );
removeChild( e.target as Sprite );
}
ERRORS:
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before semicolon.
1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before assign.
Both refer to the following line: if ( e.target.alpha < = 0 )
I was wondering how you change the text colour with action script. The Kirupa mouse trail tutorial I was looking at has the following script for the text:
letterformat = new TextFormat();
letterformat.font = "Verdana";
letterformat.align = "center";
[Code].....
Is there a way to do this or am I way off track?
[URL].. It's so elegant. Adopt Design - check out the mouse trail?
View 2 RepliesI'm looking for a tutorial, or for the scripting to create a mouse trail that has random movement, but that follows the mouse - also i have seen one, ca't remeber where, that casts 'shadows'?
View 14 RepliesEverything works fine, but I am trying to play with the different options.The one thing I am trying to do is have fewer repeats, as the object I am using is larger than the one in the tutorial and it looks too crowded. So, I am trying to figure out where to change the code, so that fewer repeats occur. I assume its the math random part, but not sure.Does anyone know where in this code below I would change that option?

I created a 300x250 Web banner for Google with a mouse trail effect. The banner will not upload because, according to the Google tech people, the banner contains animation that goes "out of bounds." Common sense tells me that if a mouse effect is applied to a Flash banner, then it should only be occurring when a user mouses over that banner. However, I was told that the mouse effect does indeed take place outside the 300x250 banner boundaries, which is preventing the banner from being fully uploaded live.
Does anyone know how to define the stage area so that the mouse effect only occurs in this 300x250 space? Perhaps the only way to get around this is to create a 300x250 hidden button and somehow make the mouse effect occur on rollover. If that is the case, then does anyone know how to do that?

View 1 RepliesI'm working on creating a new look for my portfolio and had a concept.I would like have one movie clip tween in real time 365 frame increments, while another moves in real time minute or second increments.Along with this, I would like to be able to override the passage of time by scrolling an associated scrollbar.The two tweens would be independent of one another.
View 1 RepliesWhenever I try to create more than one table in actionscript, only the first one gets run.I've been using a string for my query or embedding an external file with the SQL code, and every time AS seems to ignore everything after the first.Perhaps this is a feature of Actionscript and how it deals with databases and adding each table is a separate query, but is there a way to get around this? I like the idea of having my whole db CREATE statement set in one contained place.

It works fine, but the time is stationary how can I make it count?
I have looked around a lot for the answer to this, here and out on the web, I just can't believe it can't be done.I have certificates that the user fills in their name once they successfully pass the on-line course, this works and prints fine. The decided they wanted the current date and time to show up on the certificate for their records. The date and time displays correctly, but when you go to print the certificate you get the default numerals, not the date and time, once the print dialogue box goes away after printing, you can see it change back to correct day and time.

I can get the current date in actionscript using the Date() function, my question is, does it give the same timezone for everyone? When I use it, it gives me the current hour and everything for the Eastern Time Zone (Newyork), but I live in Georgia, so I am eastern timezone, will someone who lives somewhere else, like california, run the code (below) and tell me if the time flash displays is the current time they have on their computer, or if the hours are off... with that said, if it is the same, and flash doesn't give everyone on earth the same time, is there any code I can use to retrieve the current time in 1 time zone no matter where on earth I am when I use the code?
