I want to create some grahics for a website but have no idea on whats best to use. I want to create a sliding scale, that incorporates colour changes as the scale slides. If anyone has any suggestions, preferably freeware as its for a college project.
View 1 RepliesI am looking for a way to create a sliding scale, not unlike a horizontal scrollbar that changes the background colour of a page as it moves left or right. Whats the best graphics software for this?

View 2 RepliesI'd like to make an options bar in my project that shrinks when clicked to hide away but when clicked again, opens again to reveal itself.

View 1 RepliesI have 10 beads on a line, each of the beads is twenty pixels wide (total bead width = 200) and the line they are on is 400 wide so there's plenty of sliding area.. I am trying to learn a way so that you can click on any of the beads and slide it left/right along the line and it will push any beads it encounters along as well, and they all will stop once the rightmost/leftmost bead reaches the wall.
I have the actual sliding of individual beads done just fine using startdrag and a rect parameter but can't figure out how to have the sliding affect the other beads.
I am looking for a script to make a horizontal sliding menu just like one of the at the site [URL].

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to emulate the transition effect from the site venuliving.com (I'd post the link but I don't have enough posts).
When you click through the various sections, coloured bars expand and move across the site, they hold while subtly moving and then shrink out once the section has loaded.
how this sort of thing is achieved? I've been considering creating the whole thing using coloured rectangles and TweenMax but I'm wondering if this was created dynamically in AS3? Or if it's a customization of some existing transition?
I'm making a slide menu that loads a xml file and creates buttons dynamically. Another functionality it has a sliding menu also, and I can't stop it. Heres goes the zip file, which contains .fla and .xml files. What I want to do is when I put the mouse at the top of the mask, the menu stops on the first option, and when I put the mouse at the bottom, the menu stops on the last option. Is it possible? [URL]
View 3 RepliesI have recently been experimenting with animation in Flash, but now I've run into a problem-- whenever I try to add bones to a bitmap image I want to animate, I get a message saying that I "cannot link bitmap objects." Does this mean that bones can't be applied at all to raster graphics? I also tried converting the image to vectors via the Trace Bitmap function, but when I attempt to add bones to the result it complains that "the image is too complex. Please optimize or convert to a movie clip." I followed its directions, but it continued to complain that the image was too complex. As a sanity check, I drew a simple X on the frame with the pencil tool and received the same 'too complex' message from Flash when I tried to add bones to it.

Would be possible to develop the above chart using SVG and Javascript or some other lightweight technology i.e HTML5.0 technologies?
What sort of effort would be involved (man days)?
Would the SVG version be as fast/smooth as it's flash counterpart?
I have two bitmap graphics (bmp1, bmp2) already created with the BitmapData class using the contents of an object (label1):
var myBitmapData1:BitmapData = new BitmapData(150, 150);

var bmp1:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapData1);

View 2 RepliesHere in Flash CS4 Explorer, I have shapes. It's intuitive that I be able to right-click on Scene1, and be able to Insert Shape. Can't. I go to the frame. Can't. I right-click everywhere. I see 'Create Shape', but everywhere I see it, it's grayed out - won't let me.

View 1 RepliesI was wondering about MC and hey can help to lag a game out. I set up an advanced class system so i don't have to use MC to simulate walls, all i use isthe x,y,width and height. Well anyway since i don't need MC anymore I was wondering if there is a way to attach Graphics instead of MC cause a Graphics file size is relatively small than that of a graphic, I think. If anyone could tell me thats true and show me a way to attach graphics that would be nice. I haven't tried it yet but maybe if I exported the graphic from the library imihgt be able to call its name, but it doesn't have an instance name so im stuck.

I've created a flash file which loads an image using loadMovie, this all works fine but what I need to be able to do is load different size images into the swf. I have tried changing the size of the swf in the embed tag and using the 'noscale' option, however the stage appears to be moved to the center (see screenshot), I need it to be at the top left.
I've also tried passing the new width and height to the swf via flashvars and then setting the size of the stage to these values, however this makes no difference to the outcome.
how I can create a flash movie that I can scale using the width and height parameters that doesn't scale the content and keeps the content in the top left corner?
I'm looking to create a rotating set of images, simulated to look 3D... that can rotate either left or right, reactive to someones mouse location.
The path of the images would look like a flat oval, and as the images came to the forefront, they would be at full scale, have the lowest position (high _y), have the highest depth (appear in front of everything else) and be dead center _x.
As they slide left or right, they would reduce everything by a relative 50% to the final shift (scale, _y, and depth) until they got to the end, moving in an upward arc following the oval path. When they got to the end, and kept rotating beyond (move in the opposite _x. but appear to follow the flow of the arc), continuing to decrease in scale, _y, and depth.
I want to create a flash document that allows me to change the colous of an image using a colour palette of my own. I am a complete beginner and have no idea where to start this, hence i would need to know what to do and how to do it. I basically want the image to be a simple 2d image that i will create using different layers in photoshop and import them into flash, the layer images will all be one colour so the colour of the whole layer changes. so the colour palette will be on the side of this and when i click on an image and then a colour the image changes to the colour i clicked.
View 3 RepliesI have a project that involves flash animation- almost movie like. I need some advice on how to do flash animation. I think I'll create the graphics in illustrator. Basically, the storyline is this:
- guy leaves house and walks to car
-starts engine, puts on shades and speeds off
-scenes of downtown chicago (nightlife)
-view license plate
What is the best way to do this? create graphics in illustrator for frame by frame? Should I use after effects? The client doesn't have a high budget so video is out of the question.
Scenario: main moveiclip with 4 other clips in it. I want the rolledover clip to scale up and all the others to scale down and blur.
