Flash :: Effects Of Actionscript Seen On The Workspace

Special Effects With ActionScript?
I was wondering if someone can help me with. If you could have a look at this site's intro:

http://www.dpa.co.uk

I was wondering if it is possosible to make an actionscript to make those effects in the intro of the dpa.co.uk site. But have some sort of a template so that if I every change or add new text in my site I don't have to do a lot of changes or add new code to my fla file. In other words if I add a new word or letters to my library I can just apply an actionscript with those effects to the words or letters. I hope I have explained myself clear enough. So I am wondering if this is possible? if yes How?

I am grateful for any help given!!

Text Effects With Actionscript?
hi all,
i'd like to create a text effect like the one in this site:
http://www.elearnsight.com/
the letters 'our vision' rippling across is what i want.

i've used swish in the past for text effects, but i'd like to know (if poss) how it's done in flash. i don't fancy having to do a tween for each letter, so i'm hoping that it can be done with actionscript

if anyone can help, then i really appreciate it

cheers

Actionscript Sound Effects
This is kind of a random question but is there anyway to control the sounds in flash in a more than just "are they playing or not" kind of way? I want to be able to tie the sound of an object so lets say its speed. So if the object is moving faster the sound is at a higher frequency or something. Does flash allow for changing how fast a sound plays?

Cool Effects WITHOUT ActionScript
OK, I know that this is www.ActionScript.org but I would like to see some interesting effects that you obtained WITHOUT Action Script. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of Scripting I started with Scripting and I LOVE IT ... just want to see if it can be done without.

SO, I will put my effect "without scripts" (Except the stop in the last frame and the replay button - but the effect is done without ANY scripting)... and I will wait yours (the FLA file too if you can):

The SWF:

http://www.math.uaic.ro/index.php?pa...ini/index.html

and the fla:

http://www.math.uaic.ro/pagini/conti...gini/efect.fla

(it is done in Flash MX 2004 ... hope you don't mind)

Bizarre ActionScript Effects....
This is a weird AS effect that happened to me today. I have three scenes:

1 - Credits
2 - Intro
3 - Pan

I put an AS on a blank layer at the start of Credits to go directly to the first frame of the Pan scene for when I test the movie. Instead, here's what plays:

- Intro
- Pan
- Pan
- Pan.... (movie loops)

I have no idea what's so special about the intro, but I don't know why the AS skips the Credits scene on the first pass, but not the Intro scene. Can anyone solve this?

Text Effects With Actionscript
I'm trying to modify the tutorial on this site for the actionscript text animation (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti..._animation.htm) and I'm pretty stumped. I have a pretty basic background in Flash, and I have a good programming base so I can understand what is going on once I read it over a few times.

My question regarding this tutorial is how to get the text to fade away once the script is done executing and displays the text in the window. I tried a few things and it just doesn't seem to work.

If anyone can help with that it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank,
Lior

Question About Actionscript Effects
Hey guys, I was just wondering, a lot of effects are done through actionscript right, the one I have in mind here is a fall and bounce sort of thing, where the object comes down and bounces realisticly, not done by tweens... the problem is that when you apply this effect using AS, you can't see the final position and you can't preview it on stage of course, so doesn't this make designing the site extremely difficult using AS effects?

Let me know how you guys get around this

Help On ActionScript For Flash 8 Effects
Hi Guys!

So after messing around the carousel tutorial, I´ve decided to go through another tutorial. The Flash 8 ActionScript Effects was the chosen one. It is very easy to follow this Lee´s tutorial. However, I am trying to implement what I´ve learnt in the effects tutorial into the carousel tutorial.

In other words, I am trying to apply a mouse over effect onto the carousel spheres... The idea is to tween an effect through AS.

So far, I´ve managed to apply the effect on the ball beneath the cursor (as the mouse over is supposed to do), but this "mouseovered" sphere just stops orbiting. And to make things worse, once another sphere "touches" the "frozen" one, it also stops moving! Here is the code (I am not pasting the whole code, just the "Over" function of Lee´s Carousel code):

Code:

import flash.filters.*;
var gf:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0xFFFF00, 5, 1, 1, 2, 1, false, false);

function over()
{
for (var i=0;i<numOfItems;i++)
{
var t:MovieClip = home["item"+i]
if (t != this._parent)
{
var tw:Tween = new Tween (t,"_alpha",Strong.easeOut,100,100,1,true);
}
else
{
t.onEnterFrame = function () {
   gf.blurX += (100-gf.blurX)/5;
   gf.blurY = gf.blurX;
   t.filters = [gf];
}

home.tooltip.gotoAndPlay(2);
home.tooltip.tipText.text = this._parent.toolText;
home.tooltip._x = this._parent._x;
home.tooltip._y = this._parent._y - this._parent._height/2;
home.tooltip.onEnterFrame = Delegate.create(this,moveTip);
home.tooltip._alpha = 100;
}
}
}

And I think it is worth mentioning, I started this attempt with the GlowFilter cause it seemed easier to apply and it is the one covered on the tutorial. Can anyone help to apply the adjust color filter?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks, guys!

[EDIT]
I´ve tried another approach, but i didn´t worked as well... Instead of messing with the carousel code, I´ve set the XML file that loads the spheres to load swf files. Those swf files have animated buttons with movieclips with some effects, and all the mouse states... However, although fully functional when executed alone, once loaded into the carousel, the swf does not perform any mouse state... Is it normal?

Thanks!

Actionscript With Filter Effects
Ok. Let me start by saying I'm getting better at Actionscript but I'm still far from where I need to be. Hopefully you guys can help.

I am trying to pull off an effect where a logo emerges from the background using "DropShadowFilter". The Background is white and the logo is white so I only want to animate the "DropShadowFilter". Doing this in the timeline makes it look a little choppy. So I thought I would try using actionscript.

Here's what I have so far to make the mc "emerge":
Code:

import flash.filters.*;
var ds:DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter(0, 0, 0x000000, 0, 0, 0, 1, 3, false, false, false);
mc1.filters = [ds];
mc1.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
   ds.blurX += (10-ds.blurX)/10;
   ds.blurY += (10-ds.blurY)/10;
   ds.alpha += (10-ds.alpha)/10;
   mc1.filters = [ds];
};
};

Yes, this code does the job, but, Is there a way to add Robert Penner's Easing to this? What I'm looking for specifially is the "Elastic.EaseInOut" added to it so that it will have a liquid type of effect.

Thanks in advance. I hope I'm explaining this properly.

Mike.

Trouble Accessing External Actionscript Effects
I've been working on updating my portfolio website and came across a photo transition on FFiles that uses an external tween actionscript to color tween a series of photos in a mc (see link below). However, as I was dissecting the files to see how they work and how I could use them for my purposes, they would not work after publishing the .swf file. The original .swf file works fine when run on Flash player, but if you try and add your own photos or graphics and re-publish the color effects are lost. Working with external actionscripting and calling them to effect my image transitions is new to me, but would work great for the website I'm working on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

MouseOver Effects Using Movie Clips & ActionScript:
Hey,

I'm a relative newcomer when it comes to Adobe Flash CS3 and it seems to me that since Adobe took Flash over there have been major changes according to the ActionScript.

Long story short is I have setup a navigation bar with the text being white for each link. I set up each link as a Movie Clip (MC) and then adjusted each so on frame 5 within the MC it will lower and fade and then on frame 10 raise back to it's previous position but as orange.

There are 6 MCs in all for each link: news_mc, about_mc, projects_mc, production_mc, extras_mc and contact_mc

What I need is so that when you visit the page, the text is white. Then when you mouse over the link it plays the MC and then stops it if they stay over it. However, if they leave the hover area, the MC plays in reverse back to it's white color. Also, each MC has it's own invisible button that for some reason I cannot add ActionScript onto.

Help!

Thank you in advance.

Animating Text With Actionscript And Several Effects Using Load Movie Problem.
Hi everybody. Hope you're all ok.

I have this code I use for animating text with actioscript, and it works wonderfully. But I have found a problem.

First, this is the code which duplicates the movie clip that contains the animation AND the text box which contains the letter to be changed:

duplicateMovieClip ("letteranimation", "letteranimation" + x, x);
setProperty ("letteranimation" + x, _x, Number(StartXPosition)+Number(characterInLine*kern ing));
setProperty ("letteranimation" + x, _y, Number(StartYPosition)+Number(linenumber*linespace ));
setProperty ("letteranimation" + x, _visible, True);
set ("letteranimation" + x + ".letter.letter", substring(MyTextDragMovie.MyText,x, 1));
x = Number(x+1);
This works with no problems for me.

Now, since I want to let anybody to load different text effects, I load another movie (later will be able to load any movie which contain each a different letter animation).

I load another movie called Text1.swf on Target=letteranimation (as you can tell, letteranimation is the movieclip that is duplicated).

I made this Text1.swf on the main timeline of the Text1.fla.

Since after many experiments, I could see that if I loaded anything on a target, the target itself (the movieclip) still remained, it wasn't removed, but what was removed was the content, replaced with the loaded one. That's why I made the Text1.swf on the main timeline of its fla.

Now, I made also more experiments, trying to detect the communication and the paths I needed to describe for the functions of the loaded movie with my main movie.

I found that, according me of course, although I loaded an external movie (Text1.swf) the behaviours and paths of the functions remain the same, as if I didn't load an external movie. BUT also, it seemed that when loading this content on the target, only respected me the objects and their animations (of Text1.swf), and NOT the Idnames of the movieclips contained on the Text1.swf !!!

I experimented a lot, and only I could use, for example, tell target=letteranimation, but if I wanted to still use tell target=letteranimation.letter.letter of just letteranimation.letter, no way it would work. I tried to use "_level1" and stuff, but nothing worked !!!

So, if anyone can help me about this LITTLE issue, that would be more than great.

P.S. Also, the Text1.swf is EXACTLY the same as my letteranimation that I have on my main movie.
Again, I still can use telltarget=letteranimation, but not telltarget=letteranimation.letter. It's like letter doesn't exist.

Is it a bug? If it's a bug, then what a DRAG.

Better Use Of The Workspace
Hello newbies and newbies-helpers,

I'm working with Flash MX on a 800x600 resolution. I decided it's better if I remove the right panels completely in order to have more screen for the properties panel, stage etc.

To access those panels I now use the keyboard shortcuts or from the Window menu, but I notice that below the 'options' box in the Tools panel to the left there is enough room for about 4 little buttons I could assign to open the most used panels.
Is there a way I could add these buttons?

Thanks

Hi,

I've just upgraded to MX and have been messing around with the layout (much better than 5), just wondering if is it possible to put the scene/zoom property bar above the timeline, when docked, or does it have to be below (unless undocked).

My Little Workspace Dilemma
Hello all,
I've done something fairly daft. I've created a website however i'd like to change the size of the workspace, to make it smaller. By simply resizing the workspace it leaves all the contents (movies etc) in the same space and so off the workspace. Is there an easy way to move all the contents back onto the workspace or an easy way of resizing/cropping the workspace so that the contents can fit onto the new workspace.

Thanks,
Daffy

(i'll plan my movies and flash creations out better next time)

Flash Workspace Not Big Enough?
Hi!

I have a problem with the flash workspace not being big enough.

Here's a pic of my problem:

The thumbnails you see are masked so that only four at a time are showed in the movie. For now everything fits on the workspace, but if I want to add thumbnails, it's impossible because I don't see them anymore.

What can I do to solve/workaround this? Many sites have this scrolling layout thing when you click a link that the whole page scrolls left or right to show the next page. These must have the same problem because there they have maybe 10 pages of each 600px width that have to be placed next to each other in flash.

Thanks for any help!

Flash 8 Workspace Help Please
I have been using MX 02 for quite some time but I finally broke down and picked up Flash 8 today. I really don't dig the way the work space feels clausterphobic with the gap all the way around the main window and those little arrow tabs. My biggest issue, seriously I can't even work yet, is the timeline with the big tab at the top taking up prime design real estate. This may be a silly question and wishful thinking since I feel like I wasted my money but, is there any way to set up the Flash 8 workspace like my old MX?? I guess I could live with the gaps with arrows tabs around the main window but that timeline tab is mocking me with its bloatedness. I zoom in and out hundreds of times while working and I need all the space I can get. Man if anyone could help me out it would be really appreciated!

Sorry if I was ranting a bit there

Button Workspace?
Alright, so I want to get crazy with my buttons, and I am pretty new to flash, so I can only do the basic animated thing.

My question lies with the fact that I kind of have to play the guessing game when making the size for my button. I know that |Modify>Document| can chance the movie proportions, but is there a way I can set a size for the |movie clip| that I am making.

I guess for an example, could I set the |button| size/workspace to be 100x30px, this way it doesn't obstruct anything else?

Sorry, It's a little hard to explain for me =

http://www.ignition-one.com/ex/deep/main.html

The menu here, I only made the rollover box go up because if I had it go left ro right it'd go across the menuon top/under the other buttons, get what I mean?
