How Do You Create A Movie Reel Effect?

For instance if you what the perfed edges to acclerate in a forward motion for 20 frames and reverse for 10 frames at a slower rate and then back to a forward motion.

Old Film Reel Effect
How can I do an old fashion film effect with scratches, the number countdown, and maybe even the sound of it all too? Is there a tutorial out there that will help? I am not sure if it would have to be a separate movie loaded on top of the main movie I want to show though.

Cotton Reel
here's a little thing i made whilst i was messing around.

my idea was to create a 'cotton reel' that is on a spring so that you can pull string from it, and when you loosen your string, it rolls back up.

take a look

[edit]updated it so it's smoother when you roll over it - my friend complained [/edit]

Help With Picture Reel
I'm creating a picture show reel. It's very basic, but it's only for learning purposes. As far as I can tell, the Actionscript is correct. It's supposed to show three slides, but instead it's showing four. And the first two are overlapping each other. Can someone take a look at it for me? Thanks. I'll also post the code. It might be fruitless though if not looking at the FLA. It can be obtained from here

center = Stage.width/2;
cellWidth = reel_mc.cell_mc._width;
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
leftStop = center-reel_mc._width+cellWidth/2;
rightStop = center-cellWidth/2;
reelSpeed = (_xmouse-center)/10;
reel_mc._x += reelSpeed;
if (reel_mc._xrightStop) {
reel_mc._x = rightStop;
}
};
function NewCell(num, details) {
oldClip = _root.reel_mc.cell_mc;
newClip = oldClip.duplicateMovieClip("cell"+num, num);
newClip._x = num*300;
}

NewCell(1, "");
NewCell(2, "");
NewCell(3, "");

Picture Reel Problem

Scrolling Picture Reel
Hi I need some help please. I am trying to accomplish a scrolling pic reel exactly like the one on this website http://www.lomamedia.com/V1.html. I want it in a bottom, scrolling continously without any pause or break in between and so far i have came up with this code only

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x += 3
}

If someone knows the correct script please help. I can only use actionscript 1 that is what's compatible with my editor.

Embedding A Demo Reel F8
What is the most effective way of showing video on the web?
Do I embed a flash video on my flash site or open a seperate url
as a quicktime or wmv?

Do I need a seperate streaming app or is flash effective enough?
The demo reel needs to be small but still have sharp image, It will be higher quality than normal as it is an efx reel.

Any ideas?

Scrolling Reel Problem
I created a continous slide show usind the scrolling reel tuturial. The show works fine, the problem is when I load slideShow.swf into another movie clip in another movie.

I want the slideShow.swf to play when a certain button is pushed. So far in the home timeline on the first frame of the actions layer I have this:

button.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.section != "slideShow.swf") {
_root.section = "slideShow.swf";
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing");
}
};

the movie clip that the slideShow.swf is loading into has an instance name of "container."

This is the code on the first line of the slide show

slide_number = 17;

reel_speed = 1;
slide_count = 3;
m1 = _root.content.slide_1;
m2 = _root.content.slide_2;
m1._x = 0;
m1._y = 0;
m2._x = 600;
m2._y = 0;
_root.content.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.content.moveLeft(reel_speed);
};
function moveLeft(nPixels) {
m1._x -= nPixels;
m2._x -= nPixels;
if (m1._x<-600) {
m1 = _root.content["slide_" + slide_count];
slide_count = slide_count += 1;
if (slide_count > slide_number) {
slide_count = 1;
}
m1._x = 550;
m1._y = 0

}
if (m2._x<-600) {
m2 = _root.content["slide_" + slide_count];
slide_count = slide_count += 1;
if (slide_count > slide_number) {
slide_count = 1;
}
m2._x = 550;
m2._y = 0;
}
}

What I have noticed is the first slide loads corectly, but then the rest don't work. Do I have a wrong path for all of the slides except for slide_1?

Flash Demo Reel: What's The Best Way To Put This Together?
Hey all,

I'm putting together a demo reel of a variety of Flash projects we've done.

I would like the resulting file to be controllable with a Flash controller, meaning I'd like users to be able to pause it, rewind, fast forward or scrub through it.

I already have a component for the VCR style controller but how would you suggest putting the various pieces together in a way that it will be controllable?

- Should I bring in each of the various Flash movies as a separate scene in an external movie, then export it as a SWF and load it into a holder MC?

- Should I bring each of the various movies into a separate slide? Would slides even work with a controller?

Is there a comletely different way altogether? What do you guys think?

Script To Move A Reel Of Pics?
Hi there

I have a website I'm working on, and I have the stage 700x400 filled with the first image from a reel of pics (the reel has 5 pics, each 700x400).

I want it to work so that when I click on one of the buttons, the reel moves along to the next pic in line (gliding in, not just budging up). I guess that means once you've clicked 4 buttons, it will start moving backwards? Not sure, to be honest.

Any ideas what kind of thing I need for this?

All help gratefully received.

Dynamic News Reel From XML - That Doesnt Scroll
Hi All,

Okay, I've created a flash (using MX) that I hard coded to have buttons (text w/ clear background) that scroll up to a point, stay there for 20 seconds or so and then scroll back down the way it came; then the next button scrolls up and so on ...

What I'd like to do is make this dynamic - meaning have a new button be created & placed into the animation dynamically from the text of a XML document (aka - not imaged based). That being said, though I've patched together a nice gallery using a similar technique, I'm really clueless on how to apply that to this. Creating/loading the XML I think I can handle. What I dont know is how to have the flash have the animated intro I want - then dynamically create all of the buttons (basically putting the new text on the clear background w/ the correct as link listed in the xml), have them go up then back down & move to the next. Then when all of the buttons are done, have the closing animation.

Does anyone know how to do what Im hoping to do? Know of any good tutorials on this (I've found things close but they arnt close enough)? Am I even being clear?

Thank you for any help you can toss me.

Creating A Showreel/demo Reel With Flash Movies
Hi,
I want to make a showreel/demoreel of my flash character animation work as opposed to making a portfolio website. It is purely flash movies with no interactivity and so I want to make a linear showreel (or just very long movie of my work). I have just found that it is near impossible to import flash .swf files as quicktime movies into After Effects as AE 7 doesn't seem to read the quicktime movies, or quicktime doesn't read the swfs, I don't really know.

Does anyone know of a quick way to edit my flash movies into a demo reel format? Are there any freeware packages that I could use. I would want to ouput to either swf or a quicktime file.
Many thanks in advance.

Sound Effect Working Fine In Stanalone Movie Not Working As Part Of Loaded Movie
I have loaded in a movie via a loadMovie method of a movie clip.

In the loaded movie there is a sound effect generated in script via a sound object that works great when played in a standalone version of the loaded movie, but when I load it into the main movie the sound effect will not play.

Anyone any ideas?

OLD - MOVIE Effect
I did a search for old movie effect but nothing returned so I thought I would ask here.

How is the old movie effect done? You know, the one where the image shakes slightly, several lines appear randomly, dots flash.

I have an example that I found on a website. I'd rather not post the link (cause its not mine) until someone wants to see the example.

Thanks!

Old Movie Effect
Hello!

I'm trying to archive an old movie effect (dust, scratches and a yellow tint) the .swf shows what I got so far.

I'm pretty happy with the result but I want:

1. The lines should not appear as often as they does now. It becomes stressful (I followed a tutorial, whats why I don't know how to do this myself)

2. Some help on how to make code that just slightly shakes the image (pink wallet) at random, not to much and not to heavy just small steps like in real old movies

The yellow tint is a moveclip with a slight change of alpha, I know that its possible to make a script for random alpha but I don't think thats necessary.

Thankful for help

Old Scratchy Movie Effect
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Sp...-754/index.php

I have been trying to mack this effect work and I must be stupid, because I can't even get the line to move.
This is what I've done:
1. Created a new movie 400 x 300 and colored it black
2. Inserted a movie clip symbol called "line" and drew a vertical line and placed it onto the movie.
3. Inserted a movie clip synbol called "dot" and drew a dot and placed it onto the movie.
4. Inserted a movie clip symbol called "actions" and placed it outside the viewable area.
5. All of the above was on layer one.
6. Then I copied and pasted the following action script into the actions for the action synbol:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_root.line._x=random(400);
}

7. I then tested the movie and expected the line to jump around and much to my dissapointment it just sat there

What did I do wrong?

Old Movie Intro Effect
I am trying to create an effect similar to an animated pie chart or the countdown to old movies where a circular graphic is displayed and is gradually replaced in a clock work motion by another. Can anyone tell me how I might do this or if there are any good tutorials on the subject. I have looked at an animated pie chart but it seems to have used mirror images half a rectangle to create the effect which is no good for a full image.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Text Effect Movie
I am pretty new to Flash. I can do everything that does not involve simple action script.

What I am looking for is a Smart Clip where all I need to do is change the animation (using tweens) of a single letter which can then be applied to an entire block of text. I know I found something like this way back when I was using Flash 4. All I would have to do was enter the text into a variable, change the animation to whatever I wanted, then publish.

I am hoping for a clip so I can simply drop it into any movie quickly.

I guess this is probably a lame request because it seems that something like this would be already available if it were easy to do. If it is, I haven't been able to find it on this site or any other.

If anyone knows of a tutorial that can show me how to do this, that would be great too.

Thanks for any help!

Help With Linking Effect To Swf In A Movie
Howdy -
I got some great help earlier in this forum and just need a little more to finish things off.

I've got a button palate that calls up jpgs into a centered movie clip (that's where the help was before). Now I want to add a transition effect when the images change.

I found (I know) some code with an alpha tween I like, and I can apply it to the initial image, but subsequent images don't have the effect. In addition, the effect happens immediately upon load and then the picture dissapears.

So, attached are some relevent files. I'm pretty sure I've got the code in the wrong place, and linked to the wrong location, but I've tried all kinds of different things, and still cant get it.

Thanks
