Dust To Text To Dust Again
I am interested in making dust blow into the screen from one side;
the dust would form a text word(s) as it lands;
then the word(s) remains for a few seconds;
then have the word blow away again as dust, out the other side.

How can this be done?
Has anyone seen it?


thanks

Dust Effect (MX)
Hello,

This is my first time using this forum. I have a question for anyone out there. I am trying to create a dust effect for my project. I have looked everywhere to get an answer on how to even approach it, but no help. The dust effect I want to create is when a piece of board hits the floor, dust flies or goes up and disappears. I want to be able to learn how you go about doing something like this. If anyone has any suggestions on how to start this, please, please let me know.

Suggestions On Wnd And Dust Effect...
hi all!

i'm just starting in on a new website for a client. the logo is etched in stone. i want to have the logo fade in but while that is happening a want a dust windblown effect to happen over the logo...like you are seeing a fast time sequenced event that has taken years to occur (ie; it's taken years of the winds blowing to carve out the logo in the stone).

does anyone have any suggestions for this that wouldn't bog down a viewers rig...it would only happen upon first entering.

thanks so much.

Fairy Dust Prototype Function
this is related to a post earlier about creating flash five as from f4, but is a different enquirey so thus a new post. Now thanks to barn for converting the as to flash five so i was able to understand it, but i am now trying to create a function from the code, and i have suceeded partially. I have turned to code into prototype functions but i would prefer to combine the two into one function to make it easier to adjust and use.

these are the two functions.


Code:
// note mc is the target mc that you wish to create fairy dust with
MovieClip.prototype.fairyDust=function(mc, dustinstances, randomrotation, rotation, FireworksShow, xspeed, yspeed, zspeed){
for (temp=1; temp<=dustinstances; temp++) {
current = Math.floor(Math.random()*1000);
mc.duplicateMovieClip("spark"+current, nDepth++);
rClip = _root["spark"+current];
if (randomrotation != 0) {
rClip._rotation = Math.floor(Math.random()*randomrotation);
} else {
rClip._rotation = rotation;
}
rClip._x = this._x;
if (FireworksShow == 0) {
rClip._x = this._x;
rClip._y = this._y;
} else {
rClip._x = Math.floor(Math.random()*550);
rClip._y = Math.floor(Math.random()*400);
}
rClip.xspeed = Math.floor(Math.random()*xspeed)-2;
rClip.yspeed = Math.floor(Math.random()*yspeed)*-1;
rClip.zspeed = Math.floor(Math.random()*zspeed)-5;
rClip.fade = Math.floor(Math.random()*5)+3;
}
}
//
MovieClip.prototype.fairyControl = function(){
zpos = zpos+_parent.zspeed;
scale = Math.floor(Math.random()*_root.dustsize);
factor = (zpos/10+100)/100;
_parent.spark._rotation = Math.floor(Math.random()*360);
_parent.spark._x += _parent.xspeed*factor;
_parent.yspeed += _root.gravity;
_parent.spark._y += _parent.yspeed*factor;
_parent.spark._xscale = scale*100;
_parent.spark._yscale = scale*100;
_parent.spark._alpha -= _parent.fade;
if (_parent.spark._alpha<=0) {
_parent.removeMovieClip();
}
}

// if you are going to try these out you will need these _root values.

FireworksShow = 0;
gravity = .98;
xspeed = 3;
yspeed = 6;
zspeed = 10;
dustsize = 3;
dustinstances = 2;
rotation = 360;
_root.spark._visible = true;
startDrag("_root.MouseDrag", true);



to get this to work you will need to have a blank mc and an object in an mc in an mc (ie _root.spark.spark)

on the blank mc place this to call the code


Code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.fairyDust(_root.spark, _root.dustinstances, _root.randomrotation, _root.rotation, _root.FireworksShow, _root.xspeed, _root.yspeed, _root.zspeed);
}



on the mc with object on it place this code so you will have code on the _root.spark.spark mc.


Code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.fairyControl();
}



ideally i would like to be able to combine the two prototypes into the one so to call just the one function from the spark mc. so i don't have to nestle mc's inside one and other and then call the function.

so if you follow i would like help on getting one function with one mc to create the same effect as it would with the others.

if you are trying out the codes, to create effective fairy dust then you need to create a small cross that fades at the edges, no bigger than 10 wide and deep, although you experiment, it's a pretty cool code.

thanks one and all

Pixie , Fairy Dust Effect
Does anyone know, or know of a tutorial that explains how to efficiently do a pixie (magical) dust effect? Kind of like how tinker bell moves and there's this trail of magical dust that follows her, any way to do that with flash without a lot of motion tweening? so that every time an object moves, a trail of magical dust follows it:

Dust Particles And Crack Appearing
Hello,

I am creating a project in which I am going to drop a box onto the stage. When the box lands, it is going to create a effect to where it looks like it is cracking the stage - Does anyone know how to create a effect to where it looks like a real crack that spreads on all sides of the box when it lands? And also I am trying to make it look like when the box lands and crack it shoots up some dust and the dust disappears. Does anyone know where to begin on any of these effects?

Thank you for any help that comes this way.

Floating Dust Particles Effect
I'm trying to achieve a dust particle effect using ActionScript 2.0. Instead of trying to explain it, I attached a MOV file showing what I want (made in After Effects). I could use a movie overlay instead of ActionScript, but I don't really like that idea... it seems like it would make the SWF unnecessarily large. I've seen something similar to this with some really sheap snow effects, but none of them seem to have the type of randomness or free-flowing movement that I'm looking for. Does anybody have any ideas?

Dust And Scratch Effect Positioning And Leaving Remnants On Next Frames
Hi,

I'm using Flash MX Pro 2004 and am working on a movie that uses BlackZer0's film effect .

I am trying to use the effect over the top of a movie clip that is smaller than my main stage and have successfully done that.

When the user clicks out of the dust and scratches movie, there are remnants of the dust on the next frame (not the lines) - it doesn't go away even though I am on another frame.

Here is the code from BlackZer0 that I'm using on an off-stage action for the circle (film grain/dot):

Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_root.line._x=random(205);

for (i=0; i<=2; i++)
{
_root.circle.duplicateMovieClip( "circle"+i, i+1);
}
if (i=2){
i=0;
}
}
And here is the code given to the circle symbol:

Code:
onClipEvent(load){
if (this._name<>"circle"){
this._x=random(300);
this._y=random(400);
deedee=random(100);
this._xscale=deedee;
this._yscale=deedee;
}
}
Why does the circle still remain on stage once we've jumped to the next frame?

Have I given enough information?

Here's a quicky example.
Thank-you,
Rob

Cloud Of Smoke, Dust Or Similar. Issues With Current Animation Please Ceck Out
I am working on an animation for an intro to a small movie site. I have everything working correctly except 2 things which is where i need the help.

if you see these links you will see the problem off hand.

taking off a few images from the animation
http://www.eclipsegrafx.com/FindingS...shaketest.html

no dirt clouds
http://www.eclipsegrafx.com/FindingS.../noclouds.html

just a preloader
http://www.eclipsegrafx.com/FindingS...preloader.html

preloader and resize
http://www.eclipsegrafx.com/FindingS...KUP9/both.html

the issue i am having is i need the mountain dust and the clouds in the back to be done in a more efficient way where it wont suck up system resources.

right now the clouds are drawn in using flash and filters applied to it which i had no idea actually sucked up so many resources. secondly the clouds in the back are just move pngs.

can someone tell me of a more efficient way to produce this?

the preloader is just a temporary code i threw in because someone said it may be that and i knew it wasnt. i just need the animation to play smoothly and to stop the jitters.

if actionscript is needed then maybe the moderators can move this post accordingly.

thanks.

p.s. i am using flash 8 but also have cs3.

Smoke Effect, Hmm, More Like Dust Effect
well, I'm trying to make a shape feels like it's drops down on the floor in Flash MX, and want some dust flying out when the shape drops on the floor, I don't want to do it by animaiton,

I know there's some way to make the smoke(dust) effect by coding,
like radomly moving thin lines in circle or duplicate mc to make it liiks like smoke coming out, is there any code examples?...

thank you for your time...
