ive been looking everywhere for some sort of wavy line effect tutorial. I just want to make something appear to have a fluid wavelike motion. What I am trying to do is get a giant kelp that i drew in illustrator animated to make it look as if it were under water. What would be the best way to get look?

I have the following code below which draws a line with the cursor/mouse, but I am stuck on how to make the line "wavy". This is actually modified code from drawing a dashed line I was working on earlier, so there may be some left over code from that which I will remove later.

View 14 Repliesim tryin to make a mouse swarm effect... where all these little dots swarm around the mouse... im using the physics spring tutorial that pom made... and trying to modify the code so if the distance between the object and the mouse is less than a given value, the inirtia is changed to 1 so it will constantly move... i tried doing that with an if statement cuz thats the only way i can think of doin it... but it doesnt work... um... and secondly, when that gets workin, i want the inirtia to get to a set speed so it wont be shooting off the screen or anything without slowing down... should i set that manually or what... or will it just slow down by itself when it shoots out of the distance range?... anyway heres the code that i modified

I'm using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 2.0. I am trying to use the "ComplexButton RollOver/RollOut Effect" tutorial. [URL]. It works for the most part. But, when I publish the .fla file and view it in Internet Explorer, instead of the button beginning small then, after rollover, large. It begins large. Skips. Then works perfectly the remainder of the time on the browser.

What I'd like is the ability to draw a line with the drawing tools in Flash, and have that line appear onscreen as if it were being drawn. I don't think there's a way to do that with the animation tools (I'd like to give it a go, but I have no idea, once I've drawn a line and converted it into a symbol, how I could access the anchor points and whatnot of said line to then do some funky stuff with curveTo, or whatever better solution is out there...

View 7 RepliesI've been working on a banner for a website where I want to have wavy lines moving slowly in the background. I found a script that does exactly what I want and works great, the only problem is that the wavy lines the script is drawing are always on top of my buttons and images I'm using in the banners. What I need help with is getting them to display behind my buttons rather than on top of them. I have the actionscript on a separate layer from everything else, but regardless of the layer being above or below the content layer the lines still appear on top. How would I go about accomplishing what this? here is the code
Code:

I am using FLASH CS3 and need to find a way to make an animated line using FLASH CS3 like the example I found here, (it is the purple line effect in the area of the top near the camera lens): [URL]. It is the purple line. As you will see the creator has a purple line doing several movements. I only need to know how it is done. Like this example mine will have an image as a background. Therefore using a large square as a mask will not work, similar to the example. How I can achieve this effect?

View 2 Repliesusing flash 8 AS2. I was thinking if it was possible to create a waving moving banner, with some flags of countries moving across it. much like the example below. Is it possible I will create a simple rectangular banner, then animate it in the timeline with flowing flags of a few countries from left to right. then i wonder if actionscript can create a wavy perspective banner that flows from the left to right in a loop or full stop from the movieclip timeline looping forever in it? The red arrow shows how the banner will animate towards the right from the left.
View 1 Repliesi need to write AS 2.0 code for creating text effects like those we have in ms word clipart.. i dont need it to be all that complex though. what i need is to make the text pinched.. so that if there's a word, the ends of the word are more in height but in the middle, its slim then i need to make the text seem bloated.. which is exactly the opposite of pinched. then i also need the word to appear wavy.. as if the word is riding on a wave ya know.. then, i need the word to slant backwards and forwards i also need it to have a dropshadow but i found stuff by senocular on it. so i guess i'll manage that by the filters and all.
View 6 Repliesi am trying to make my text appear wavy using displacement maps. i've attached the file. Please check it out and tell me how to do the following three things with it:
i need to ensure that the text doesnt get cut at the top when it goes out of bounds.i need to create a gradient with more variations. that is, right now its going from 0x000080 to 0x0000FF to 0x000080. so i need to make it go like: 0x000080 - 0x0000FF - 0x000080 - 0x0000FF - 0x000080.i need to be able to vary the size of the gradient box so that it perfectly fits the movieclip that i apply it tohow do i do it? could anyone please make those changes and attach the file back? or just tell me how to do it?
I am looking to create an effect this this: [URL] Or even were the lines come in as a group or lines do a moment and move off the stage again. Been trying to mask it but the problem is that the line vectors have no inside too them, just a pure line.

I have followed both of pom's tutorials that involve experiments with perspective in Flash, but I have encountered a problem while attempting to duplicate a movie clip symbol in the second tutorial ([URL]). I have a single instance of the "ball" movie clip symbol appearing at random positions. However, I cannot seem to successfully duplicate the symbol instance at random positions using the loop that pom provided:

Everything is working properly but the pictures are displayed on the left side, I want to have them centered in the stage for the images, after clicking on the thumbnails, plus my images are different sizes as well. ranging from 200x410 to 744x410 but all are the same height of 410. i will post up what I am talking about at the end.

I'm trying to work out how to create a simple demo that works as follows: A ball falls from the top of the stage.Player is able to draw a line anywhere on the stage. The ball will bounce/roll along the line such that the player can guide it at will. I don't think the coordinate rotation will be a problem for me but I can't figure out how to transform a line drawn by the player into a hit detectable sprite -- or realkly any way that I can get those line coordinates into my coordinate rotation routine. To keep it simple, I'm just working on the first part of the problem, getting the line to where I can hit test or know its position.Here is my code so far:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;[code]........
It always traces 0,0 instead of my current line coordinates - and even those I don't think would be sufficient.
in Flash CS4 I have static text like: Line1 and line2 It's in 9 point Arial Regular as a device font. If I set the line spacing below 3.9 the second line dissappears from the compiled SWF file. It still shows in the FLA file. The same thing happens at 6pt but NOT at 5pt or less.

View 5 RepliesI'm in the process of teaching myself the components of the CS4 Design Premium package using the Adobe Classroom in a Book series. I'm currently going through the Flash CIAB and i've started using the pen tool. The task involves creating a wave like design across the stage. Whilst this in itself is simple, the final instruction is to click on the first anchor point to close the shape. In the illustration, the closed shape seems to automatically extend around the stage, however when I click on the first anchor point, the line automatically connects between the two points in a straight line.
Am I doing something wrong? The next step is to fill this area, but with the straight line effect that I am getting, this becomes impossible. I should point out that the instruction states that the pen tool line should extend off the stage. I have done this, but even then on clicking on the first anchor point the shape is closed incorrectly.
