how to make a mouse trail?
View 2 RepliesI'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...
//initialization

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?

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 3 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?
I have a MC that follows the mouse. I want to do so the MC will smoothly/softly stop when i stop moving the mouse. Is it hard to code, And it would be very nice if someone could do some code for it

What I want to know is; can I change the colour of the trail too?And is it possible to use something other than text as a trail?
View 2 Repliesi have an ad that when the page loads, it can have 15secs of animation and then stop. the animation can only be started again if the user rolls over the ad but has to stop and go back to the end of the animation if they rolls off the ad.
i know the basics of Flash and the part that's giving me the trouble is the roll off the ad.
I have created a bouncing logo (similar to a screensaver). The MC loops and I have added some motion trail using dupe mc's, however when the main MC loops back to the start, the motion trail seems to go out of synch and fall behind in its positioning. I have attached the FLA to show you what I mean and you can see the AS that I have used.
View 2 RepliesHow to make trail behind movie clip. I suppose it should be some kind of duplicate mc function but dont know how to write it. For example there is rectangle (mc) on screen when I click on it should move to the left but it should leave copies of itself behind it with different opacity, closer copies should be more visible and they all should fade out (I mean trail not main rectangle), it should look like circular animation which are often used in some flash video players where rectangles are rotating around center point but they aren't all same opacity.
View 2 RepliesI've been experimenting with the following tutorial (scroll down to "Eye Candy 1: Trails"):[url]...........I can get it to work like his example, but I would like to apply it to my game which works a bit differently. Rather than having a player-controlled mc move around on the stage, I place the player's character in the center of the stage and have their actions control the level around them (tl;dr the player doesn't move, but the level does).My approach was to determine the location inside of "level" that matched up with center stage where the "hero" is located. Then, rather than place the trail effect on _root, I would place it at this location inside of the level.See below for my code:
Code:
_root.level.attachMovie("trail_sprite", "trail_mc", 8000);
trailbitmap = new flash.display.BitmapData(1000, 800, true, 0x000000);
_root.level.createEmptyMovieClip("trail", 1);[code]..........
I�m working on an asteroid game and don�t get it to create a nice trail for my spaceship(s).It doesn�t need to look spectacular, just "nice".I tried a comic look alike version with angled mc�s, whose scale are tweened down and up. But it�s not the right look.And I tried some flame effects by as3, but it not seems to be a smart solution. Nice look, but needs a lot of memory space.

i wanna stop image scrolling when mouse over?
View 3 RepliesI am creating a sort of "information slideshow" for a clients website where a movie clip on the main stage acts as a slideshow and when not touched by the users mouse it fades through 3 stages giving information on 3 different subjects, then when the user places their mouse over the movie on the HTML page the animation stops to allow the user to use the scroll bar on the right of the movie to scroll through the information on the subject, then when the user is finished then can move the mouse away from the movie and it will continue to play through as it did before.
i have the animation playing with the 3 seperate "states" and identical scroll-boxes for each state and im trying to think of a way to make the animation stop when the mouse is over it WITHOUT using a button, when a button is used on the top layer of the animation the scroll boxes are not useable as the button is on top of them, so i tried making a gap in the button to cater for them but then of course the mouse isnt over the button when the user goes for the scroll box and the "rollout" part of the script is activated and the movie continues to play. is there a way to make the animation stop prehaps when the mouse is over the "main automation" movie clip WITHOUT the use of a button, or what would be even better is when flash detects that the mouse is over the top of the actual .SWF itself it stops the movie.
i have a plane that gonna follow the mouse but i dont want the plane to stop when it reaches the mouse position , instead it needs to continue its wauy then follow the mouse when it moves again this is what i have so far package
