Text Effect - Masking Effect
Hello; I was on the site when I spotted a tutorial on a text effect, here.

I followed the tutorial and I got the desired effect and it worked perfectly! I then used the same effect on a project as it was perfect for what I wanted... I then tried to publish the flash (.swf) file and load it (just for a quick test) and to my surprise instead of having nice faded text, instead I got a huge white block that was used in the layer below the text for the masking. I couldn't see the scrolling text at all! It works perfectly fine if I go "Control -> Play".

Is there a publish setting I've got to enable? Another observation is that I get the same incorrect display when asking "Test Movie".

Please help!

Thanks in advance.

Text Effect - Masking Effect
I've followed a tutorial on a nice text effect that caught my eye, that I found here.

It works fine if I go "Control -> Play"; but if I try to publish it, instead of nice faded text effect, I just see the huge white block with the alpha linar gradient top and no text scrolling whatsoever! It's not only when I publish it, but also when I ask it to "Test Movie"... The only time it works is when I ask Flash 8 to Play the animation. I'm guessing I've missed something simple like a publish setting... But I'm a real n00b and need some help!

Thanks in advance.

Tutorial For 'masking'?
I am still somewhat of a noob to flash, can handle the basics, But i was wondering how some sites make things appear and disappear from right to left when they have a non-solid colored background.

I know how to do it with solid colors, just make a graphic/shape the same color as the background and put it on top of the layer you want to disappear, then animate the colored graphic over the layer you want to disappear, but this wont work for 'real' backgrounds..

I've been told this can be done with 'masking'? any insite? or links to a tutorial?

Masking Effect
I have seen an effect on several different sites that I would love to do, but for some reason I can't get the effect.
What it is is the masking effect that fades out. For example, if you have a flashlight effect, where the center of the mask is 100% transparent but the transparency fades out as it goes outwards. You can find an example of this effect if you go to http://www.discovery.com/highspeed/highspeed.html, select the Mummies site and then, once in the mummies site (Enter the Mysterious World of Mummies), go to "Discover an Egyptian Tomb" (far left.. round button). Once you get into the cave you will see the effect that I am looking for. It looks like a flashlight... very cool.
Basically I am looking to make an effect that is a mask that fades out as it goes further from the middle.

[F8] Masking Effect
I´m trying to achieve a masking effect just like the one on the menu of LeeBrimelow´s site "the flash blog"
Check it --> www.theflashblog.com

The masking code is allright but i really don´t know how to do the circles effect (since creating a movie clip with a thousand circles doesn´t seen to be the "right" way). Any clues / tuts on this? I´ve searched for "Masking effects" on several places, but nothing like this showed up.

Thx in advance for your replies

Masking Effect Help...
hey everybody, I have an effect im trying to achieve and having some trouble. I have a MC that is following the mouse and is also a mask to another layer. But i want to have the mask taper off with a gradient so that the transparency revealing the underneath layer is gradually reduced. Is that possible? If i bring in a png file with transparency and i convert it to a movie clip then it is just a square and doesn't really preserve the transparency. Ive tried to break apart the png file, and tried trace bitmap, but every time i convert the graphic to a MC then the mask is just a blob or whatever the final shape is and has no graident. Ive included a file to show what im talking about. any help is appreciated a lot. thanks.

Masking Effect?
Hi,

I was wondering what exactly the used to achieve this effect:

http://vitaminwater.com/
Now if you go to vitamin water at the top nav, choose our friends, then pick a person through the list on the right. See how their photo slides in?

Is this something that's achieved through masking? If so how? I had people tell me it could be done through masking but can't seem to figure out how they did it. Any ideas?

If not do you think they used another program like After Effects to achieve this?

Sorry for the random post asking how someone else did something, I know it can get annoying. I'm just looking to learn some new things and I always enjoy what people come up with. Just have a hard time picking up on how it's done sometimes.

Thanks in advance!

Help With Masking Effect ?
Hi,

I just looked at macromedia.com and I saw a masking effect that I would really like to learn.

If you look at macromedia.com, it's the section right below the navigation where it displays Edgemodern.com - white background, and it looks like a venetian blind closing on each image so that it disappears. THe middle section continuously shifts into another image - from the macromedia product to a furniture (i think). I hope you guys see what I'm seeing. You might have to refresh twice to see it as macromedia displays another banner about edgemodern.com.

Is there a link with a tutorial or a FLA I can download and study? Been looking at actionscript.org and flashkit.com and can't seem to find it.

Thanks in advance!

The Hugeinc.com Masking Effect
How did they do the masking effect on hugeinc.com? I know how to move the mask, but not how to show the text underneath. I assume it is dynamic text because it looks so crisp.

The only way that I can think of is that they dón't mask the text but everything else. So the layer order would be:
-mask
-dark background with txt
-full colour background

The problem is I don't know how to drag the mask in this form.

Help With Masking Wipe Effect
Hi all-

Heres my situation..I have succesfully made a "wipe transition" between two pictures using a mask.

It is set up like this

Mask Layer - contains movie clip of shape tween animation
Masked Layer- contains picture #1
Layer 3 ( NOT Masked) - contains picture # 2

Everything works well, but how do I add a 3rd picture to this? I want the movie to stat with picture #2, then make the transition to picture # 1, and then transition to picture #3....and then back to picture #2..you know what I mean..just a loop of three or four or five pictures...

I guess it probably simple, but I spent quite some time trying different things, and none of them worked.

I put up my current work at http://www.carolinehope.com so you can see what I am talking about...You dont need to mention the white line on the left hand side of the animation, I am already aware of that . : )

I can email someone the FLA file if they wish.

any help is really appreciated.

Thanks

Masking Effect Querie...
I am really loving this program! there is soo much you can do....

Though I am not quite sure about masking.... I am hoping that someone can help me understand the masking rules.

The way i've created this masking effect is by duplicating the background picture and then moving the masked picture by 'moving one or two pixels to the left and up. Except when i try this with text, you can see the movement.... how can i avoid seeing the movement created within my masked text and/or picture?

Please help,,,,

Thank-you.

X-ray Glasses Masking Effect
I don't know if this is possible or not.

I have Flash 6, MX... I've noticed in this version that you can drag a mask around the screen.

So I got a girl that was fully clothed and then the same picture, but the girl is in a swimsuit.

When I move the mask over the fully clothed woman, it shows through to the swimsuit.

Now the tricky part... I want to have a visible handle that moves the mask around. For example, like an old pair of X-ray vision glasses, you would see the frames of the glasses, but where the lens's are, that is where the mask effect is. Like a selective mask. I've tried to do this, but I'm not having any luck.

I can get the mask to stick to the mouse pointer no problem, but I want a visible handle that controls the mask.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You,

Matt

Attempt At Masking Effect
Hi... so I attempted to recreate a trendy masking effect I see all over the web... I did it, but I was hoping someone could look at my code in relation to the desired effect, and give me some feedback... I am new to flash and programming and was wondering if there is an easier/more eff. way to do what I did (or are there tuts. on this)... obvs. my code can be made better and obvs. there is more than one way to solve a problem... I was just hoping for some feedback as it is hard to teach yourself flash without any guidance. Thanks... and I apologize for the ghetto stick figure... i had to fit the file on the board somehow.
peace. if you like the code, feel free to use it.
