Is it possible to write code that would create an animation that reasonably mimics the effect of a seismograph reading an earthquake? I'm not an advanced actionscript user so I have no idea how I might go about this.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create an interactive mouse that mimics the hand cursor you see in pdf files and other programs. There's two movieclips I want to use for the cursor. The open hand and the grab. I can get the cursor to work on the open hand, but can't get it to work when I press and want the open hand to change to the grab cursor. Here's my code:
onClipEvent (load) {
Mouse.hide();
startDrag(this, true);

I want to create a flash preloader effect in my flash animation. How should I do this?
View 1 RepliesI am looking to create a 'tentacle' like effect for a flash animation. A frame by frame animation is not ideal as it is arduous and not very easily manipulated.
I have attached an fla of the effect I am looking for. Ideally it would be a line that snakes in and grows thicker at the back end. I can create it in the way included in the fla but it is not very portable and i cannot overlay different tentacles.
I think that a layer mask would be good but I cannot think of a way to go about it.
I'm trying to create a flash animation with the effect of a waving flag and have seen online some, but what I liked most is the following website: [URL]
But I have a question because I want to customize it a bit more.
Actionscript banner is perfect except for one question I have. When you edit from the page: [URL]
and paste the resulting code to my actionscript 3 flash cs4:

neBandera.Start();

View 1 RepliesI'm in the process of creating an earthquake that takes place in an office setting. This will require the entire room to rumble. I found the following script that makes things rumble fairly well when I slap it on a movie clip:

is there a way to change the code and create attraction effect instead of push effect?i tried but without success...!
View 1 Repliesok lets say you create a button that when held down play an animation of 20 frames if realsed it goes to frame one and stops if held down it plays out this animation. for the topic lets say you have a fire animation and you want the fire to apear and if the user hold its down the animation reaches the end of the time line and loops back and plays the last 5 frames of the animation and as soon as it is let go it goes to and stops at frame one. Well i know how to make a button that when held down plays out an animation. And i know how to say when released goes to and stops at frame one. What i dont know how to do is to loop the fire at the last 5 or 6 frames so the user can hold it down all day long and play out that animation.

how to animate the effect where the background changes from blue stars to yellow stars? I can see it's done using masks, but I'm stuck trying to animate the 360 degree effect which I suppose would be like an animation of a circle getting thinner and thinner, radiating out from the centre.

View 1 RepliesIs there a code in as 2 for a button which when clicked : Expands the browser fullscreen ( IE etc) just like the keyboard F 11 button does . I want to make one button in flash movie which when clicked sends the same command to IE/Firefox , which the F 11 keyboard button does . Have been searching the web for the same ...
My idea is not to creat a popup ...but just to command the browser for expanding fullscreens
I'm animating a series of vector based objects (brought in from Illustrator and converted to movie clips - want to keep them as vectors as I'm changing scale a lot and want to retain the clean vector edges etc) which I have applied a blur effect to in the motion editor (to give the appearance of 'motion blur').
Once I add the blur filter to the given Tween Span and test the movie, that particular part of the animation is very slow and jerky and I get the Output error:"Warning: Filter will not render. The DisplayObject's filtered dimensions (3745, 4692) are too large to be drawn.
Now I realise that the vector is too large to apply this filter to at this point in the animation and thus is affecting performance etc, but as I need to keep the image large, as I want to have a part of it go full screen at one point in the animation.
I'm trying to have a scene where it's a Flashback but I want to make it so it has a kind of effect to it.

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.
I have been trying to see how this splat effect animation from some sort of "paintball game" works. I think this is using an open-source APE(Actionscript Physics Engine).Actually, I guess it's the one from cove.orgAs I cannot post links yet I'll tell you where it is.If you don't feel like wanting to look for it,I can PM you with the link to it.Write this in the google bar : "Minijuegos"+"Battle Paint" // that is the name of the game.There is a class named "Floor" which is used in the menu of the game, where random splat shots start appearing in the background. I am trying to figure out how it works.This is the class code: I think everythig related to the splats is in there, but still don't see which functions make the whole animation.
The key must be in functions: generateSplatter","createSplotch","generateSplotch","generateSplatterHd","addSplatterHd","addColor"(I think this function adds color to the splatters, which is not so important right now) and that's all with the functions.There is an array, ThePaintSplatArray( must be an array containing a lot of particles, which are bitmaps of small circles i guess)I'm not used to working with AS.That's why I'm doing a deep analysis of the code to understand the way it works.he code was way too long to put it here. SO I zipped it up. YOu will found the floor and particle(what makes the physics stuff work) .as files.
I wanted to do a simple blinking-effect for my animations.
Code:
var timeDelay = 2000;
setFrameTimer = function(){
if ( (Math.random(1)*100) > 90 ) {
blink();
}} setInterval (setFrameTimer, timeDelay);
Nice and easy, right, giving the eyes a 10 percent chance of blinking every two seconds. Well, it works nicely in the beginning. But then, after a while, the blinking increases until finally the animations are blinking constantly.

View 2 RepliesWell I have this interactive design for a website that I am making for myself. The problem is that on the top layer just under my actions layer I have a texture that I use to give my whole design a really nice feel even the buttons. The layer is blending using multiply in flash even tried a soft light blend using an external swc but it was slowing down my animation to much. Anyway my buttons are underneath that layer so it gives that really nice effect to them. How can I get around this cause when I publish I cant click on any buttons since the layer above them seems to be blocking them which is the texture layer?

How to construct the following in Flash 8 as 2. I have several items that need to be shown in a text field list, the list needs to update as a new item is to be displayed also the new item has to move up or down depending on how many items are on the list. For example the list has 6 items available,the fist three are a higher priority than the last three.
oranges
apples
mangoes
trucks
cars
boats
When items are called for example oranges we will have oranges in the text field
If the second item is called say trucks this will go below oranges,
If no oranges are called this will go in the top text field.
if we remove an item the remaining field will move up so there are no gaps in the text field.
For example start out with oranges only
oranges (top of list)
Next case add trucks
Oranges(top of list)
trucks
Next trucks only (remove oranges)
trucks( at top of list)
Next add and apples and oranges
Oranges ( top of List)
apples
trucks
Next add boats
Oranges ( top of List)
apples
trucks
boats
Next remove trucks
[Oranges ( top of List)
apples
boats
The actual movie clip is an aircraft caution and warning display that updates when faults occur. I know I can use an array to to populate the text field but I am not sure what to use to create the correct animation effect.
lets say we want to animate an object using the 3d position its (Z position)to be exact, from keyrame 1 to keyframe 40 or so on. i put the object on keyrame 1 to 10000position and view and then its keyframe on 40 to 0 position and view,so it looks like a nice object zooming towards you as you see it.but how can we get the object to constantly spin around and around(like from the motion presets from the default:spiral 3D ) .so it seems like a coin been tossed.

I am looking to explode an image backwards. Example, I have an image and at frame 1, Alpha is zero. At frame 20, the image is at Alpha 100%. From frame zero to 20, I want to have an exploded view come together by the time it reaches frame 20.
