IDE :: Create A 'tentacle' Like Effect For A Flash Animation?
Aug 27, 2009
I am looking to create a 'tentacle' like effect for a flash animation. A frame by frame animation is not ideal as it is arduous and not very easily manipulated.
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.
I think that a layer mask would be good but I cannot think of a way to go about it.

I'm trying to create a flash animation with the effect of a waving flag and have seen online some, but what I liked most is the following website: [URL]
But I have a question because I want to customize it a bit more.
Actionscript banner is perfect except for one question I have. When you edit from the page: [URL]
and paste the resulting code to my actionscript 3 flash cs4:
import cfx.Efectos.*;
var neBandera=new FxOndular(new Bandera(0,0),new Point(0,50),new Point(2,2),8,3);
neBandera.Start();

Is it possible to write code that would create an animation that reasonably mimics the effect of a seismograph reading an earthquake? I'm not an advanced actionscript user so I have no idea how I might go about this.

I am looking to explode an image backwards. Example, I have an image and at frame 1, Alpha is zero. At frame 20, the image is at Alpha 100%. From frame zero to 20, I want to have an exploded view come together by the time it reaches frame 20. I am reading this on web, and I don't have the 'Insert - timeline effects - explode' on my file menu. Is this a plugin that I have to install? This is the site I am reading. [URL]

My client wants so have a loading animation/movie (already created that in Flash CS5) on the website's start page (root, '/' - the first thing you see when you go to domain.tld).When the animation's finished it should forward to another page (i.e. the real page with the content), e.g. domain.tld/somepage.htm I can do this with, for example, getURL() in Flash and it works fine.
But. Is it possible to kind of preload domain.tld/somepage.htm so the content (almost) instantly appears after the loading animation's finished?Also, a fade-out-fade-in effect would be nice, i.e. the loading animation fades out and the content of domain.tld/somepage.htm fades in.

I'm trying to create a specific effect on flash, basically the piece Im struggling with is a ring, imagine a doughnut, inside it for this description is one button, when you click on that button I want a piece of the doughnut to shrink away, cutting a segment of it out, revealing more buttons behind it. Basically imagine it going from a 'O' shape to a 'C' shape.

I am adding "layer" objects to the stage with a depth value.
I have then created my own camera class. When I tell the camera to move to the right what Im actually doing is telling each layer object to move to the left.
The distance that the layer moved to the left is based on the value of its depth variable...
var fCameraDepth = 1;
var fTan:Number = Math.tan( fCameraMovement / fCameraDepth );
oLayer.x += fTan * fLayerDepth
This works well and gives me a really nice parallax effect. The problem I'm having is that I want to be able to tell the camera to look at a movie clip on any layer but I'm having trouble figuring out how to convert the movie clips coordinates to the cameras depth.
Im trying something like this...
var fCameraDepth = 1;
var fCameraPosition:Number = oCamera.x;
// the layer will have a + or - x val compared to the camera so we

ok lets say you create a button that when held down play an animation of 20 frames if realsed it goes to frame one and stops if held down it plays out this animation. for the topic lets say you have a fire animation and you want the fire to apear and if the user hold its down the animation reaches the end of the time line and loops back and plays the last 5 frames of the animation and as soon as it is let go it goes to and stops at frame one. Well i know how to make a button that when held down plays out an animation. And i know how to say when released goes to and stops at frame one. What i dont know how to do is to loop the fire at the last 5 or 6 frames so the user can hold it down all day long and play out that animation.

When it comes to ActionScript 3 or programming, i'm newb. But I want to create an odometer effect in my flash movie. It's just a plain dynamic text box.[code]FastMile is the instance name of the text box. It works OK - the mileage is incrementing by 1s. After 10 seconds, it starts to increment by 10. Still works OK.But when I want it to start incrementing by 100s, the text starts to shake and I cannot see what's going on.However, the movie stops at 76931 miles as intended.

I want to create the drawing effect in Flash that many of us have seen on various websites.URL...I have an object already made in Fireworks. It's just a simple rounded rectangle with a 10 pixel stroke. I'm looking to draw the mask which in turn will give the impression to the user that the object is being drawn (because masks work in reverse).Right now, I have a version already done with a frame-by-frame slow erase of the mask. When played, it makes it look like the rectangle is being drawn. The problem is that it's just too shaky and jumpy. I need a more fluid animation which, like most things, can be done much better in ActionScript. I saw the Drawing API tutorial on Kirupa.com, but it doesn't show how to animate it and I definitely don't know enough AS to do it myself.

When someone "click and holds" I want to fire off function over and over, say, once every 100ms while the mouse is clicked. Instead of MouseEvent.CLICK I would look for MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN and then start a timer on that event function that calls another function every 100ms. Then, on MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP I would stop the timer. Am I on the right track? Will I be able to get updated X and Y coordinates while the mousedown event is firing?

i'm trying to create a expanding Form with a smooth transition effect, here the code:
<s:TitleWindow xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"[code].....
But the problem with this is that even with creationPolicy set to all not all items seem to get initialized. This causeses the tweener animation to lag when clicking the "register" button the first time. after the first click, the animation is smooth.

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.
