So it has been posed to me to create a Radial Gradient Blur on a still frame of a video. I wanted to ask the community how they would go about doing this after posing my own solution.
Here is the concept solution to me:
1. Create a bitmap from the still frame
2. Create a gradient filled shape with alpha from 0-100, center out.
3. Apply a blur filter to the bitmap made from the video still
4. Set the bitmaps mask to the gradient filled shape
5. Position and overlay the newly created/masked image over the video itself to generate the gradient blur effect.
EDIT: Here is a link to a good example for what I am trying to achieve. I know it can be done.
I'm trying to create spinning rays in actionscript to use in my website.Below is the rough idea of what i'm trying to create.Is it possible to create absolutely with 0 images.Following is the actionscript code in which i couldn't figure out how to add gradient, transperant background and little radial gradient to create glow effect.
Code:
function CreateRays():Shape { var ray:Shape = new Shape(); ray.graphics.beginFill(0xFF9900,.5); ray.graphics.lineStyle(1,0xFF9900,.5);
[code]....
If you paste above code in 1st frame of your scene with nothing on your scene, it will give you sweet rotating rays!
I have a circle mask over a photo. I'm trying to get it so the edges fade out to black. Currently, it just is a solid white circle. It's a movie clip and has a radial blur and is motion tweened. The alpha channel on the radial blur is 100% on the first point and 0% on the last. Can a spotlight with radial blur/fade be done without adding code or actionscript?
I've attached a photo of what I have now along with what the movieclip I'm using.
I'm on CS5, but can only use AS2, if actionscript is necessary.
I have a graphic symbol of a circle that has a radial gradient fill of yellow to red. All I want to do is have it change from yellow to red to red to yellow. I tried the advanced color settings but that doesnt quite do what I want. With the color settings.. it changes the complete tint of the object. I want it to look like it is tweening the gradient not the object. So if the object had a yellow center with a red outer edge I want it to chenge to a red center with a yellow outer edge. How do I accomplish this?
I've been trying to learn just now how to dynamically create a radial gradient in a circle. All the pages that I can find use the command 'beginGradientFill', but when I use it I get the following messages:
Warning: 1060: Migration issue: The method beginGradientFill is no longer supported. For more information, see the Graphics class.. and TypeError: Error #1006: beginGradientFill is not a function.
Unfortunately I can't seem to find the replacement, or any other pages that describe an alternative to that function. What is the way to do a radial gradient now?
Indeed, i would like to inrease the RGB values of my radial gradient of my shape every 1 or 3 frames. I did it manually, but its very long. So i would like to know if anyone can help me to make it with code, it's will be most efficient and fast. I've already created my shape with a radial gradient. Now i would like just to increase the RGB values of my radial gradient.[code]
my first time trying to draw a multi-color gradient in actionscript 3. So I got this code from the help docs, but I can't seem to get a vertical gradient, whatever formula or number I use for rotate, it stays stuck on the default horizontal gradient :(
I am looking for some help on a specific effect. I was pretty good in the old days in flash but I have fallen behind badly and the new action script and such is making my head spin a bit. The effect I am looking to do is like the FETblur,first one on the page, [URL]...
There are two objects on the stage and I find the distance between them. Using tan and atan i need to find the angle at which one object has to move in to reach the other. Heres what I have[code]...
how to mask in a circle?To try to clarify: If you had a clock face with the minute hand at 12, as the minute hand sweeps round it reveals a picture.[URL]
I'm trying to create a cooldown effect similar to those used by most MMORPGs for skills or spells. Like in wow, your skills become faded out when used. And they gradually become visible again in a radial manner. Anyone have an idea of how to create this effect in flash?
I'm coding a game where I have a skill that has around 2 minutes of cooldown, so I'd like to have a neat cooldown animation like the one in World of Warcraft. But instead of getting an artist to draw one, and me having to put it on A LOT of frames, I was wondering, how it can be done by using AS3? The cooldown is a square kinda like rotating to a full shape.
Does anyone know how to mask in a circle? To try to clarify: If you had a clock face with the minute hand at 12, as the minute hand sweeps round it reveals a picture. Here is an example of what I'm looking to do (the orange logo at the top)[URL]
I need to make a radial animation tween like a pie chart. I want it to start as a full pie and as the animation plays the pie gets smaller. It seems simple but I think I have to use actionscript to accomplish. Though I have no idea of how? I guess it has to do with a lot of math and using the actionscript drawing api.
In my program i need it to display an image along with some facts at the click of a radial button.I have it set up now where it displays the image with a radial button and loads a new one if i click a new button but it keeps the same fact text instead of changing it.have the text in a if else statement:
if (imageArray[0]) { facts_txt.text = "Inner Planet" + " " + "Name Meaning: Messenger." + " " + "Name Origins: Mercury is named after the Roman God of Trade." + "[code]....
I've searched every possible actionscript forum for this and i cant seem to find it. How can i create an "area" of blur which blurs everything beneath it?Like some kind of masked blur effekt?
I'm trying to do this as a bit of a transition. It's always the same movieclip.I just want to give it a duration, actually the same duration as something else I have going on, so I can reuse the variable "fadeDuration"Then I just want to set the maximum blur amount.I have no idea how to go about this. I found two things online, but one looked to be using a plugin, and the other was missing all class definitions and probably asuming you knew which parts were declared at other spots.
Is there a way to create a gradient mask in Flash Pro CS5? I am able to get it to work in FPCS4 but apparantly the process was changed or the functionality eliminated in CS5.
I have a short TEXT that I turned into a symbol, it is a MovieClip on the stage. I applied a preset motion of blur fly in to it and it does fly in but does not blur. I tried to use the motion editor to increase a blur to 255 but even when I add it on the initial keyframe, there is NO blur.
When I create a gradient and fill with it, sometimes the gradient transform tool works perfectly. Other times, I click on the gradient fill with the gradient transform tool and the gradient is selected as if I clicked it with the "Selection Tool."I can't get the gradient transform tool to give me any handles to adjust the gradient once applied.
i have drawn a gradient shape on the stage and i want to replicate it with code now.how the gradient looked on the stage.how do i spread it out more?, you can see on the picture that its wider than shape's height.and i am also guessing the angle...
Code: var upColor:uint = 0x9999cc; var downColor:uint = 0x000000;[code].....
i want to color a rhombiod with an gradient and i've no clue how to do this.so the rhombiod is a movieclip and has already a gradient fill (which was done manually). and now and want to change this gradient fill from as3.but the problem is that the gradient is always appering behind the rhomboid and i've found no ressources to skrew it to the right angle.
