ActionScript 2.0 :: Create Some Letter Effects Like Waves / Cascades / Ripple
Jun 5, 2007
I'm trying to create some letter effects like waves, cascades, ripple etc.I saw these effects years ago in the old Flash MX/AS1 but I need to create them in AS2.
Is there a way to put a ripple transition on a menu button? In Final Cut Pro I can add a transition from one video to another or end a video with a ripple effect like you have just touched water. Is there a way to create that ripple effect on a pop up menu in my flash file so that the menu will ripple dissolve when I press a button instead of the menu just vanishing?
With Keith Peter's "Actionscript 3.0 Animation" book it's dead easy to make one that oscillates smoothly between two fixed values but I need one that varies it's oscillation randomly (within reason of course). Imagine the teeth of a saw, up-down-up-down-up-down, very dull. What I want is more like a range of mountains, the same smooth change in height but less regular.
posting after a long while, so i thought i'd actually follow the rules for posting,.. I am trying to get this waves thing done, here is the sketch [URL]I am trying to create those antenna waves as in making alpha go to 10% or so in a continuous loop....
I have tried for weeks and am wanting to create a water ripple effect when mousing over an image on my website. I have downloaded various files, but to no avail. Can someone assist me please, with where I can go to download an extension to allow me to do this? I am using Flash CS4.
I've got an inputfield.OnChange Event Handler.When someone types a letter, i want the letter to become 0, then 1, then 2, and so on until 9 and then i want the letter to be there.And when they click on another letter, same effect happens.so at the end if i typed, "testing", each letter scrolls 0-9 like a roll dial and settles on the letter typed.What i've managed to do is make it work, but if i type at normal speed and not slow, i end up getting something like: t32t43g
I have a combo box that I'm trying to enter a letter for to search values for that particular letter and I keep getting this error. Every other combo box works fine when a key is pressed so I'm not sure why this particular combo box registers an error. The complete error looks like this:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at mx.controls.listClasses::ListBase/findStringLoop()[C:autobuild3.2.0frameworksprojectsframeworks rcmxcontrolslistClassesListBase.as:7715] at mx.controls.listClasses::ListBase/findString()[C:autobuild3.2.0frameworksprojectsframeworks rcmxcontrolslistClassesListBase.as:7700]
I'm trying to create an RPG-like game text effect where the text string is displayed letter by letter, like a typewriter.Here's my code:
Actionscript Code: function doSomething(number){ var errors:Array = new Array(); errors[0] = "The specified file could not be located."; errors[1] = "Another error"; var
I have been working on ActionScript 2.0 for last one year...i am also new for programming, actionscript is the first language that i have learnt....i used to write the codes on the object directly and sometimes on the frame but i never used class in as 2.0.basically i am a mathematician, only because of being mathematician my boss allowed me to do r&d on as. Now i am working on some projects in which i want to create 3D effects(3D grapher, rotate, zoom in, zoom out)..i want to start working on as3.0..
In this website there's an intro. Now, the website is about a lingerie company here in Italy...so it's like a based fashion website. I'm going to create the intro with after effects...what do you think about this? How do you create your intros? With after effects? do you have some fashion website link with an intro?
In many RPG games, messages appear in textboxes letter by letter (usually accompanied by a repetitive beeping). I've been trying to simulate this in Flash for a game I've been working on in AS2. When it comes to programming, I'm fairly new and so far, the best I've got is this:
var num:Number = 0; var s:String = "This message will appear."; function onEnterFrame():Void {
I have a specific request or a general pondering really.I know you can create a sine wave type thing with as, could you then perhaps create movie clips, letter by letter that would move along and up and down on this sine wave?could you then, instead of setting the size and scale of the sine wave have it react to the input levels of a mic.i've been hunting for something that will help for a while and have drawn a blank
Is there any way to create text effects like arc in, arc out, blend, bridge over etc as in th powerpoint, photoshop text effects in actionscript.I created arc and circle text.I need for blend and waving text effects.
I am trying to create an interactive music video in After Effects and Flash. The concept is that while the music video is taking place the user can decorate the hair of the woman with any of the objects they select. There will be predetermined animations and destination spots but the user can choose whatever objects they select to be delivered to the predetermined spot. I need to figure out how to let the user to select an object that will become part of the animation. I created a PDF Roughly explaining what I am trying to do. If anyone can help me I'd be very grateful as I am more versed in After Effects, I don't know ActionScript well enough to execute what I am trying to do.
Below is a rough example of what I am trying to do. There will be a music video of an animated woman singing. As she is singing the user will be able to click any of the objects , below the numbers 1-10. Below it is illustrated that the user wants to press the blue number 2. If the user presses the 2 the 2 will animate in the mouth of a bird to a predetermined pre-animated spot. I assume I need to send a movieclip to a blank holder on the timeline and use a gotoAndPlay() action ???

I have an array of three values.focal[x,y,z]these values change based on user input.however when the change occurs, they are logged into a new array to test for valid changed.A simplified psuedo version of my code:[code]However, when the focal[1]++; focal[0]--; ect, ect, code takes place. It also changed the temp array.and since it changes my temp, it never resets me original code back to its previous nature.I have never seen this behavior and its kinda throwin' me off.
I'm working a project for school in which I'm using the sound spectrum. Only problem is, I only know Action Script 2, which does not use it. I'm currently using this code to create sound waves and it works fine.
var url:String = "[URL]"; var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url); var s:Sound = new Sound(); s.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler); s.load(request); var song:SoundChannel = s.play(); [Code] .....
How to turn the sound into numbers (which are then usually used to draw waves).
My problem is that when I click the letter movieclip it does create the duplicate as it should and it starts to drag the duplicate mc. However, when I release the clip it doesn't stop dragging? I realized that if I put onMouseUP event instead of onRelease it actually does stop dragging when I release the mouse. I would, however not like to use the onMouseUP event if possible.
i am working on a project in which i want to have the water ripple effect when i click the mouse where ever on the stage. so here is the problem i have created a file which produces the water ripple effect all across the stage randomly by using "flash.filters.DisplacementMapFilter " when playing the movie i want the ripples to appear on mouse down state and only one ripple not multiple ripples and exactly at the place where i click. now what i have done is i have put all the script i have in " mouseListener.onMouseDown = function() { " but what happens is the ripples appear when i click but not the whole movie clip for ripple is played its like i have to click fast after each other for the ripple to be continuous and full.what should i do?
I'm a web designer, but I deal with HTML, PHP, JavaScript, not so much ActionScript. I have a new client, and they've already had a website designed completely in Flash. Now they only want certain elements of it, and the rest in HTML. See, the website uses the ripple effect to make images and text look as if you were sticking your finger in water - it follows the mouse. So, I want to take 3 different smaller Flash movies out of this huge, big one. But when I do, the ripple effect no longer works. Here is the action code:
import flash.display.BitmapData; var map1:BitmapData = new BitmapData(900, 600, true, 0xFF0000); this.createEmptyMovieClip("bmp1", 10);bmp1.attachBitmap(map1, 0, "auto", true ); var blur = new flash.filters.BlurFilter(8,8,5); [Code] .....
I know I'll need to change L2 - the 900 to whatever width and the 600 to whatever height, but that's about all I understand.
I was wondering if/how I can use this effect url..., or similar in Flash but instead of having the ripples follow the mouse, follow movie clips. I have a boat MC that I want to simulate moving through water.
I've posted this in the AS2 section as well. Just wondering if someone can tell me how to make this awesome water ripple effect, found on this page: [URL] I want it so bad and am nearly going to pay the $3 for it. But thought someone might know how to do it for free ..
I'm brand-new to Flash (taking a course in it), and I'm wondering if the effect I'd like to achieve is possible or not:
I have a graphic of a silk background. I'd like to add bones inside it and set poses so that the silk seems to ripple slightly. Is this possible with a bitmap image? Or only with shapes? (I've had no success so far -- as soon as I attempt to set a pose, the image disappears.) I wish I could draw silk, but I can't make it look realistic.
Can anyone tell me how to make a cool water ripple effect? I saw one that I loved on URL... (you'll see it on both the intro and the contact page).Does anyone know how to do that?
I'm trying to get a water ripple effect that can follow the mouse, or be triggered by a mouse rollover. I found a tutorial here: [URL]. I have been able to figure out how the ripple effect works, and have been able to get the movieclip to follow the mouse. The problem is that I need the enlarged background inside the movieclip to stay stationary or to counteract the mouse movement. If you comment out the script you can see the ripple looks fine, but once the mc follows the mouse the two images do not align properly. I basically want to rollover an image with "water ripples" similar to dragging your hand across water.
