I need the animation to follow the path the right way - from point 1 to point 2. Of course this is wrong now because the mask effect isnt well done.

My idea is to make a sun to rise from the horizon as the bites are loaded, acting as a preloader showing how much of the main movie has been loaded. At 100%, the sun would be at it's highest point.
View 1 RepliesI will have three seperate pages for the motion tween, mask effect and shape tween... would you make the seperately, in a different scene, as a symbol or on the same scene with the website.
View 2 RepliesI just started working on a preloader screen that includes a preloader mask over a logo and a percentage dynamic text. I can get either or to work but not both at the same time. I notice that if I remove stop(); I can get the percentage to work but not the preloader image. With the stop(); embedded the image preloader works but the percentage doesn't.

im trying to create a flash effect using a mask layer.i want to have a text box which is invisible, and throu the timeline small peices of a mask layer will move over the text box, revealing the text. My problem is this, if i create a mask layer with more than 1 object, when i try to move the objects (for example in different directions so the text will reveal from both sides) then i get a weird movement from the objects (like the sum of both movements i wanted) so i was think maybe a layer can contain only one moving object.So i just cant figure how can i get the effect i want.

View 6 RepliesI'm guessing this would be simple but I just started in flash and have no clue what I'm doing wrong here. I'm trying to add an animated logo effect using a linear gradient to create a glimmer effect, using a motion tween. In order to make it appear the logo glimmered with light every so many seconds.When I add a mask to the glimmer layer but the effect comes out obviously wrong. I read somewhere that in the action script I have to use "cacheAsBitmap" but that does not seem to effect anything.I found an example of the effect I am looking to do in a tutorial pertaining to text effectsI have seen this effect used thousands of times online, but there doesn't appear to be any tutor

After a while in ie7 or Chrome (indeed possible any browser!) the transition will freeze - most often mid transition! I have racked my brain trying to figure it out and can only conclude it is an issue with the loop killing the cache of browser or something.

The difference with mine is it does not run after click, it loops.

I am trying to dynamically load images into this slideshow. I have 2 MC's, one with an animated mask, one without. I am trying to load an image into the first MC, have the mask reveal it, then load that image into the 2nd MC which is behind this one. This way, when the next image loads and has the mask show it, the other image will still be on the stage behind the new one, and so forth.Here is the excerpt of code from where the main actions are being done..
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(myListener);

I have seen how mask in photoshop works. However flash mask does not work like that. I want to create a effect in flash with a image dynamically. Probably involving bitmapdata. As yo can see the second image is the actual one. I want to create the first one from the second one using actionscript. But the problem is flash masking does not understand gradient mask etc.
View 6 RepliesWhen I run this with the movieClip "screens" tweening through the mask everything works as expected. As soon as I try to do the same with the movieClip healthLibrary the mask effect fails. One thing I just noticed is that all the assets in the healthLibrary mc are png files while all the assets in the screens mc are jpg. Could that be the problem?

I have been searching for a few days now, I keep seeing the question, but no answer. I created a text effect using a mask. It works great when I move through the timeline.However, when I test the movie or publish it as swf or htmp, the mask doesn't work. As I was searching for an answer, I noticed several references to making sure the font is embedded, so I made sure I did, but it's still not workingI am using:Flash Professional CS5Windows 7Flash Player 10ActionScript 3.0

View 1 RepliesI have a logo I created for my webpage with FreeHand. I have finally learned how to do a lighting mask to have the effect of the moving gleam across my logo, but whenever I try to create the effect (using different methods even) it isnt' working correctly. Only part of my logo is being affected by the mask. I have tried all the things that I can think of to make this work. So far the only thing that has worked is changing the vector logo into a jpeg and plugging it into flash, but I really don't want to do that due to resolution and cleaness of the image. I am including links to the 2 files - the original logo as well as the masking .fla file that I have been trying to make work.

I have followed a tutorial for creating a preloader and it works perfectly - until I try to move the MovieClip to a mask layer. I'd like to use the mask layer to incrementally expose an underlying MovieClip, but when I change the progress bar layer to a mask layer, it fails. The following line produces a #1010 error:
ActionScript Code:
preloader.progBar.scaleX = _loadPercent;
progBar is the MovieClip in question. Preloader is in the root. As long as the layer is not a mask layer, it works - just not like I want it to. How does the code have to change to recognize the object in a mask layer?
So I've made a circular preloader made with some shapes and masks. Everything like this works. What I want to do now is add a movieclip of animations to the stage and make it look like this movie clip is in the progress circle of the preloader. So what I did is create a movieclip container to hold all of the shapes that animate on loading. I then used that movieclip container to mask the movieclip of animations.What happens when published is the movieclip of animations (the particles) loads over the shapes, but all of their masks are gone. So it's as if when I applied the mask to the container, all of it's children and their masks stopped working. Is there a way to correctly do this?
View 2 RepliesI have plenty of ways of creating falling snow like effects, but a client has just comitted me to an effect as a test of my ability without talking to me first, that I am a little stumped by.I need to have a top down falling snow effect (its actually supposed to be flour falling from a sieve but hey...). All the snow effects I know, fall down sideways on, from top to bottom, and then they disappear off the page (the flakes).I need the particles (movieclips) to fall downwards from a birds eye view, and 90% of them to disappear, but the remaining 10% to gradually (over about 5 seconds) build up a white logo (shape) in the middle of the screen.So I am guessing that I am going to have to be clever with dynamic masks to get the shape appearing a little bit at a time, and then I also need some random motion, and scaling as the particles fall downwards (and away) from the eye.
Before I jump in at the deep end, has anyone got any ideas on this, even just part of it (the falling particles or the revealing dynamic mask part) would be a great help.Please let me know if you can help with ideas and input in anyway, and I'll give you credit on the final project when complete, as well as much help as I can with game related scripting and deisgn/URL...

View 2 Repliesi found out when i add a dynamic mask to my preloader progress bar (for transition out) its not scaling correct. I think its because my bar isn�t tweening to the correct "stageWidth" during progress until it completes. I setted it up like that:
// Preloder Progress Bar
Code:
bar.scaleX = 0;
bar.graphics.beginFill(0xff3333,1);
bar.graphics.drawRect(0,0,stage.stageWidth,4);

Somehow it looks like 100% of the loading progress doesn�t represent the entire stageWidth so my bar animation finishes some pixels before reaching stageWidth end. NowJust noticed it now after adding a dynamic mask to my preloaders progress bar.

I want a mask to go over some words in relation to the percentage of the file loaded. Below it I want text that says 1%, 2%, 3%, etc. (also in relation to the percentage loaded). But when I test it and click "simulate download," the screen stays white for about 10 seconds then goes to frame 2 where my content starts.?! I get no errors, either. PS: on Flash CS5, is TLF text the same as Dynamic? For "percentage," the only two options are Classic and TLF...
I want to be able to make a movie clip (that acts as a button) so the roll over effect finishes before the roll off effect is triggered. Like if a marker circles a button, i want the circling animation to stop before the roll off effects happens. Anyone know how to do this.
