I'm just re-learning Flash after a 12 year break. How can I make the 3d orbiting light trails that appear on the 2advanced video on YouTube? Here's the link: [URL] Is it simply a case of making a single trail and then animating a mask along the trail to give the effect of movement?
View 1 RepliesI am working on a DVD User Interface for my final project in Photoshop. For extra credit points I am trying to figure out how to make the menu items to light up when the pointer is touching the menu icon.
View 1 RepliesHow to make trail behind movie clip. I suppose it should be some kind of duplicate mc function but dont know how to write it. For example there is rectangle (mc) on screen when I click on it should move to the left but it should leave copies of itself behind it with different opacity, closer copies should be more visible and they all should fade out (I mean trail not main rectangle), it should look like circular animation which are often used in some flash video players where rectangles are rotating around center point but they aren't all same opacity.

With sifr, how do I make a font use the light weight version. I have...

which is displaying regular Gill Sans, the light version has been exported with the swf (said so in the export report), but how do I get it to display in sifr?

View 2 RepliesI have a 6 button menu system: when user clicks on a main menu link it will highlight red and light up a light right to the left of the link letting them know they have clicked successfully. After the initial click it will bring down a sub menu with links. However, after they release the mouse button, the little green indicator light goes off. I want that little green light to stay on until they move the mouse outside of the slide panel with the sublinks. how do I keep that light on until user moves mouse outside of the bounding area of the sub-panel with sub links? what code do I need to insert?SECOND:When I go to publish in html, my slide panel which contains the sublinks is chopped off. How do make it were the submenu goes over and on top of my webpage contents right below it instead of increasing the size of my table.
Here is a copy of my code. I will be posting an image in about 30 minutes or less:
// ON CLICK EFFECT - The main menu's sub-menus will slide down once user clicks on a button.// The sub-menu will raise up and disapper once the user's mouse leaves the sub-panel area.
import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.Regular;import fl.transitions.easing.Elastic;
stop();

I have a home page thing. all the buttlons fly in and such all i need is so when a mouse hovers over a button it lights up or the brightness increases and when you remove the mouse from the button it goes back to normal
please help me out.
This might be trying to be too tricky, but I have a set of keyframes on the timeline that correspond to the buttons on my xml drop down. When I am on a particular frame, I want the button for that frame and the mainItem button that it drops down from to have some sort of highlight or extra glow. This is meant to be so that a user can see where they are in the project at any time. All the code is included in my previous posts on xml drop down menu..
I can find the buttons by checking if they have certain text on them, so now I want to
1) Set a variable on each keyframe
var a:String="page1";
and then have some code that says
if(a=="page 1")....[go and get the button] e.currentTarget.menuText.text=="Questions" [and do something to it ]<-- except it wont be the current target it will just be out there with that text on it..
I'm trying to do an animation, where a movieclip will orbit around the mouse if the mouse is within 50 pixels of the movieclip. Basically, the mouse will get near an object and the object will orbit the mouse, even if the mouse moves. The idea is that here will be a number of these objects on the stage, and as the mouse 'collects' these objects, each one will orbit around the last one 'collected'.
Here's what i have so far-
Code:
package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
public class soundObject extends MovieClip{
[Code] .....
It kind of orbits, but it's not working very well. Also, my conditional statement doesn't work.
i wanna make an object ease after another object that is easing... like a motion trail. but the objects just go to the corner of the screen....and won't ease after each other.

View 3 RepliesI want to make a pulsating spot that looks like red light. The pulsating effect is done but the circle with gradient red goes from red center to black. I want it to go from red to nothing/transparent, so that whatever background can be seen through the edge of the "light". Is that possible? I use Flash 8.
View 2 RepliesI am in the middle of designing a 16 x 16 grid sequencer with a row of buttons that light up and sweep across the screen as shown in the attached picture. Basically i was wondering would this be best done in flash cs5 as its hopefully going to be coded with actionScript or should i use other adobe apps like illustrator etc? I was also wondering how to get the lights to trail behind as the lights travel across the buttons?
Just a quick query, i work with Lightwave 10 on the mac and i was wondering it it can be incorporated into flash cs5 at all?
Does anyone know, is it possible to control the camera flash or light With as3.Also the camera flash on the android.For instance can I turn on the camera flash light on android?
View 2 Repliesin order to use removeMovieClip, I think I have to use attachMovieClip first, right? What I want to happen is drag and item with the mouse, and then on release make it stop dragging and make it look like it returns to its original spot.
ActionScript Code:
mirror_inv.onPress = function () {
mirror_inv.swapDepths(1);[code]....
Also the commands attachMovieClip and removieMovieClip don't light up in AS. However just attachMovie and removeMovie do light up, not sure if that is same thing..
Our game is a bird-eye view game, with a dark atmosphere. The player carries a flashlight which can be used to brighten up the environment.So far, we've tried using masks, and although it works, it's not very effective. Every object needs a seperate mask, it tends to use a lot of CPU and is generally a mess to work with.I've considered using a system of black tiles at 90% alpha all over the room, which change their transparancy when the player moves near - but I was unsure.
View 5 RepliesI am really new to Flash n Actionscript and have been dropped in to make a switch that will make a light come on in the first click and off on the second, on on the third and off on the forth etc... I have created the switch as a button and the light on/off as two movie clips....
What coding would i be looking to add to make this switch work...
Previously I have been given this... but its not working
//this is for the button (switch)
on(release) {
if (_root.light_on:active == 1) {
setProperty("_root.light on", _visible, "1");
_root.light_on:active = "0";
} else {
_root.light_on:active = "1";
setProperty("_root.light_on", _visible, "0");
}}
//This is for the light on
onClipEvent (load) {
active = "1";
setProperty("_root.light_on", _visible, "0");
}
I'm trying to get a light that is hanging from the top of the page by a chord to be drag-able and then for them to be able to let go and the light swing back and forth. Right now I've got a pretty cool as that is onLoad it will swing and gradually slows down until it is sitting still, but I'd like to have it have a little more elasticity added to it for them to be have some fun with the hanging light..

View 2 RepliesWas just wondering that tool do i need (an open source tool) to create a very simple table with a blinking light on an image and turn that into an .exe?
View 1 RepliesSo I was working on making a button that will light up when I scroll over it, not instantly but more realisticly. The button starts out gray and when I scroll over it I want it to fade to red.
So I made a new AS3 Flash file and drew a simple gray box, made it a button, and inside the button I made the box a Movie Clip, shape tweened it so that it fades from gray to red in a period of 5 frames.
Now I'm just stuck on the scripting part, I made a new layer inside the movie clip for the script and have this typed in:
Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
rectangle_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mcOver);
function mcOver(event:MouseEvent)void{
play.rectangle_mc
}
I don't even know what import flash.events.MouseEvent; even means.
But what I'm trying to accomplish here is to make the shape tween Movie Clip only play when the cursor is over the button. So that when I scroll over the button it fades from gray to red. Sounds like a plan, but I can't figure out the function part where it says play.rectangle_mc,
I have got this menu from intronet and got it working, now am trying to be tricky, I want to have a way to make certain buttons light up when on a particular page, so for example I have got Brian's Vision button taking me to frame 2. How can I get certain buttons to be highlighted on that frame?Basically in my code so far I can listen to a button that is clicked and determine what text it has.. so who can I identify a button with a certain text and make it do something (without clicking on it?)
Code:
ans1.ans1text.text="beans";
ans2.ans1text.text="chicken";
ans3.ans1text.text="rice";

So, I'm in physics, but we didn't get to the light and lenses part yet... Anyway, I'm making a simple program showing how a laser would pass through a circular lens. I have the design down and it works and stuff... but the light bending isn't accurate. My source of the light is at an infinite distance (meaning the beams are parallel) My question is:How would light bend as it passed through a circular lens?
View 3 RepliesI want to make a game which uses a light effect similar to left4kdead (link). I just can't seem to be able to find how this effect is called. It will be strictly 2d top-down view.
