I'm am developing in FLASH 5. What is the best way to 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. Is this done with actionscript or can it be done without? Can you do this with a mask?

speed=10;
ssize=10;

Ok, this is what I need done. First of all, if you have been to my site you know that my sister and I are a brother-sister tap team. We are looking to make a demo reel using some of our video clips that we have.

Now, I have no idea where to start .

If someone could please contact me on any of the instant messenger programs, or email me at michael@twofortap.com to help me, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you, and I hope to hear from someone soon!

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
[swf=http://www.kirupa.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=13863]height=700 width=700[/swf]

[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, "");

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.

Mouse Over Effect
how should i go about makeing a effect like the 1 at the top of the etnies website (http://www.etnies.com)

Mouse Over Effect
OK, what I want to happen is when you run your mouse over a letter in an 8 letter word I want each letter to play a movie about 40 frames long. But I want it to finish the 40 frame movie of that letter even if the mouse isnt hovering anymore. That way if you run your cursor over the whole word it plays a ripple effect over the entire word - with each letter playing its own 40 frame movie. How would I go about doing this without messing everything up?

[CS3] Mouse Over Effect Help.
Hey guys using cs3 AS2

I have a mouse effect that randomly generates instences of movie clips from my liberary. BUt I want to be able to have some control over the number of MC's being produced and Im having a real rought time trying to get it.

Here is what im working with, Im not the original owner it been handed down and hacked around.

Code:
mouseDownOn = true;

// "i" represents the instance number of each attached movie clip
var i = 0;

//This creates an empty movie clip which the other movie clips will be attached to
this.createEmptyMovieClip("canvas",100);

//This is the listener that listens for mouse movements
var myListener = new Object();
Mouse.addListener(myListener);

//This is the function that is called when the mouse is moved
myListener.onMouseMove = function() {
if (mouseDownOn==true) {
//a new variable "t" is used to refer to the movie clip which is attached on mouseMove. We're attaching a random flower movie clip. Each clip has different instance name which will be flower1, flower2 etc, and is placed one level higher than the previous movieclip.

randomNum = Math.ceil(Math.random(0)*4);

var t = canvas.attachMovie("flower_img"+randomNum , "flower"+i, canvas.getNextHighestDepth());

//"i" is incremented
i++ ;

//This moves the movie clip between 80 and -80 pixels from the x and y coordinates of the mouse
t._x = _xmouse+(Math.random()*40)-40;
t._y = _ymouse+(Math.random()*40)-40;

//the movie clip size is a random size between 100 and 170% of it's original size
t._xscale = t._yscale= (Math.random()*70)+20;
}
};

//mouseDown function
//myListener.onMouseDown = function() {
//mouseDownOn = true;
//};

//myListener.onMouseUp = function() {
//mouseDownOn = false;
//};
//
Not sure where to start. Any help would be great. Thanks for any help.

Mouse Over Effect....
Hello all,

I'm a newbie here and have an issue for a Flash site I'm creating. It's only basic flash so I'm starting simple as I'm not experienced in Action Script at all.

Anyway, the one thing the boss wants is to get an effect for when the mouse hovers over a 'hit area' a small gradient rectangle will appear. And when the mouse moves off, the rectangle will then fade away again.

I know ths isn't a well detailed description for which I'm sorry; I can't think how to describe it apart from...

...http://www.boffi.com/ (a designer kitchen site)

(go through to the flash site and click on one of the many 'collections' on the links panel. As the kitchen photoreel begins, you can roll the mouse over the links on the left to reveal the black gradient that comes out from behind the text - this is what I'm after).

I'm guessing you have to convert the black gradient to a button and then create a hit area? I cannot fathom how to do this so any help is muchly appreciated!

The other thing I will soon need to know is how to make a list of text links move or slide (up & down) once clicked (just like the links on http://www.boffi.com/) so if anyone had any good tutorials for that, it would be great. I've been looking for some while!

Many thanks!

Ian.
