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?
View 3 RepliesI'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.
View 1 RepliesWhat I want to do is:
Click on button one: Content1 fades to view
Click on a different button: Content1 fades to white, content2 fades to view.
I can make it so the content fades to view, but I don't know how to made it fade away and then have new content fade in when you click another button.
how can I completely remove button effects from a Button component in Flex ?
Background, Fill and border are completely white. But still I've a black shadow around the button (see picture bloew):

Button {

AS2 Trying to figure out to add sound effects to my buttons (which are actually mcs) in this file. I'm familiar with adding sound effects to "regular" buttons using the button state frames, but I have no idea how to go about adding them to these buttons (for rollovers and clicks). My FLA file can be found and downloaded here: [URL]..

View 1 RepliesGot a problem with links in flash - I've been making several flash websites that need to be linked together.
I've created animated buttons with rollOver and rollOut effects and used this code
[Code]...
i'm having real issues with what I thought would be quite a simple transitional effect.I've made a simple test fla with 3 images (movieclips) which move on to the stage from left to right and fade from alpha 0 -100 at the same time. Images move on to the stage in response to clicking 3 separate buttons (Image 1, Image 2 and Image 3). Buttons are set to perform transitional effects which have been 'saved' as functions in the actionscript.
The image that is currently on the stage should fade out as a new image is called in - but I cannot seem to achieve it. Trying to research how to achieve this is getting me nowhere fast, just getting more confused with 'image loaders','transition manager','arguments' etc, etc .Here is my (embarrassing) sample code so far:
import mx.transitions.*;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
//transition functions[code].....
There is more code, but nothing that relates to the transitional effects.Currently, each transition function 'tells' the other 2 images to fade out (whether they are on the stage or not). This works, but some images appear above others which means that they fade out on top of the image that has just been called on to the stage, which is a serious problem.
I guess some additional functions are required in the code that somehow differentiate between what is the current image (which should fade out) and what is the new image (which should move in and fade in above any other image on the stage).
I have downloaded the following code and tried to change it. It works so far, but the attached MC are "pulsating" - if I change them with another MC (with text inside) I can't use them as a Menu links - they are "pulsating" too much and I can't read/see the text properly. where in code I can change(reduce) this "pulsation"? how can I make the MC-s cklickable=working as a buttons with mouseover/mouseout effects (changing color etc.)
View 1 Repliesi 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?
View 1 RepliesI'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 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.

View 4 RepliesI'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.

View 2 RepliesI'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.

View 3 RepliesI have a peice of video that I exported as a swf from after effects. Now that i've imoprted it into flash it's broken down into a squence of images. The problem is I need to move the video (Pics) but obviuosly I can only move 1 image at a time and that's a real pain as there is nearly 80 of them. I really need a way of moving all of them at the same time. Highlighting all the frames and moving them doesn't work.
View 1 RepliesI'm coming to Flash from a mixed graphic design / 3D animation / motion graphics background. In any of the animation programs I've used before, including After Effects, parenting is a simple operation. ...But it seems that in flash, it's more complex. So far, I am beginning to understand that it has to do with nested scenes, or nested time lines (which may be the same thing?)... So my question is... What is the easiest way to parent one object to another?
View 5 RepliesI needed to convert a simple graphic symbol into a movie because I wanted to give it depth using the (gradient bevel) filter effect. The movie has to appear at different sizes in my animation but the filter effect does not scale with the symbol. Is there a way to make this filter effect (gradient bevel) scale when I scale the symbol it is applied to?
View 2 RepliesFrom some reason when I'm importing a PNG sequence onto stage, it's loading all of the PNGs into one frame instead of distributing them into their own keyframes like it's supposed to. I've seen this problem posted before. Anybody have a solution for this? I've also seen that people have posted that Flash CS3 HATES After Effects PNGs....how bizarre....I'm starting to figure that out.
