it's been a while since I used flash and i'm wondering what is the simplest way to create a visualization of a realistic 3d bulding with animations like window closing, door opening etc.I gues it's made in some 3d software and exported to .swf, but it sounds a bit complicated to create a 3d model in 3d studio export it in collada, import it with pv3d to have only a house with 3 quite simple moving elements.
View 5 RepliesI need to create a small dice game in Flash. The random number generator is external and I have to create a 3D realistic dice animation with that outcome. I'm using Away3D engine and JigLib for physics. So far the best idea I've had is to do many simulations and create a list of outcomes and their corresponding input parameters (initial position, initial orientation and the forces added to the RigidBody). This is not working so well. Sometimes for the same parameters the outcome is different. What is the best way to do this?
View 1 RepliesI want to make a light animation where air bubbles come out of a bucket (which slowly moves from left to right) and they float till a certain height untill they dissolve (fade to 0%). I want to have 3 different kind of bubble MC's which I want to generate (duplicate MC???) at random.

View 14 Replieshow to make realistic smoke / fog. All the tutorials I have seen are ok, but not exactly what I am looking for. I want to know how to make the smoke look like its reacting to the resistance of air thus changing the shape of the smoke as it moves and what not. [URL]Notice how the smoke is going down and also to the right. The smoke moving downward even reacts to the flow stream of the one going to the right and slightly alters its movement ( as if it was hitting a current in water ).
View 1 Replies i'm wanting to create a flash animation and embed it into my website.i used to do this with a gif image within a DIV and make the position of the DIV vary via javascript so that the image moved across the screen. i'm looking now for a more professional touch via Flash.
A gif's background is transparent so as it moves over differen't areas of the webpage it shows not the bounding rectangle but
only the character image itself. Is this possible via flash - or will flash always be a boxed image that is moved?

I'm a novice in flash when it comes to actionscript and xml. Let me explain what I have so far and what i want to do with it. I have a basic flash animation, which constists of 12 images horizontally scrolling across the movie stage.It is animated to scroll from right to left at a speed of 1. I would like to update all those images once a month and so I'm looking for a way to do it using xml. Has someone done this before? It will make it a lot easier to update, rather than have to manually swap out pictures in the flash file.

how to reproduce the Photoshop Image/Adjustments/Photo filters... in Flash with AS3. Is the same result that you get when you put a filter over the lenses of a camera. I exclude using tint and hue from the start because I think could get this from code by using color matrix class or convolution filter

View 5 RepliesI'm writing a private website.I want to add an animation of a paper (which moves a bit in its conrners).I paln the user to add some text in the text area in that animated paper.My program will read the text and save it.The next time the user comes I'll show him this animated paper with the text he wrote.
1) As a newbie to animation. Should I use flasf? Is there a nice freeware and simple alternative? I saw this site but thought maybe someone can tell from his own experience
2) How can I include text area in an animated paper?
3) How can fill animated paper with the saved data later on ?

I am putting together a gallery that will show about 60 images. basic fade-in transitions between the images. I need to animate the company logo (very basic) and show some text below each image), becasue of this I dont know if any off the shelf xml based gallery will work? As usually you just define the image name/path and run the swf. This is for a presentation and not web so maybe not possible to be Xml based. Is there anything that is out there that could work for this and if not i suppose I am doing everything in flash but fear this as thimeline will be so long and a bit of a nightmare to do, if I have to do this in flash, I would have each image occupy about 20 frames 1-9 it will fade in, frame 10- a 10 sec pause, and frame 11-20 a fade out, that will still give me a timeline of 1200 approx.

View 1 RepliesRealistic FLASH spotlight beam, not using a circular mask. I am in desperate need of some information, about realistic spotlights designed with flash. I need the kind that shoot a beam with a round circle on the floor. I have found a great example, at http://www.grisu.com and the owner even shared the fla code with me, but I still don't quite understand how to modify it to work for me. He offered to help, but he only speaks spanish and I only speak English, so we can't communicate.
If you go to his web and view the stage, the beam sweeps the stage and changes the angle and size of the beam. I need a longer and narrower beam. The length of the beam is too short for me, but the idea is just what I need. Does anyone know of any tutorials on this subject? Or possibly other samples so that I may study them in detail.
1. Is a mask necessary to keep all the beams the same length as they scan? As the angle changes, the beam length would change unless a mask or something cuts them off at the floor level always.
2. Motion tween could probably be used to move the beam?
3. Would it be necessary to skew the beam as it sweeps as when it is slanted like that, the width of the beam gets wider as it sweeps away from you and more narrow as it sweeps closer to you.
4. Did you need to use alpha anywhere possobly when the beams cross each other or maybe when it is first turned on?
I would greatly appreciate any advice anyone can give, or steer me in the correct direction for some tutorial information.

I have attached an fla of the effect I am looking for. Ideally it would be a line that snakes in and grows thicker at the back end. I can create it in the way included in the fla but it is not very portable and i cannot overlay different tentacles.
