Old Movie Reel Effect
I am wanting to make an old movie reel effect for my website using Flash 5. My navigation bar is going to come down and run by much like it would if it were going through a projector.

How Do You Create A Movie Reel Effect?
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.

Making An Old Film Effect
Ive seen fla downloads on this site for old film effects, but none of which are usable. I am trying to create an old film effect i can apply to my whole fla file. I want it to be able to go over everyt frame, but do not know how to create such effect. If anyone could point me in the right direction or fill me in on how to create a random (squiggly line..lol) across certain x and y coordinates that would be great. Thank you, Jeff.

If you dont know exactly what i am talking about, check out this site. I think its in spanish but just enter where it says "entrar a disfrutar" version flash player 6.

Old School Film Effect
I'm looking for a starting point for a simple effect...

That is, to have a Class that would control some scratches, burns, blips, dots, etc, etc to have the 'movie' on question appear to be an old film.

Did a bit of digging here but didn't find anything.

Anyone have something for me to start with?

Thanks.

FILM GRAIN EFFECT
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/filmgrain.htm

That link is to a tutorial for a grain effect. I am REALLY new & trying to teach myself flash through tutorials and books and this may be a real dumb question BUT....

My question is this...

In the tutorial she says to use a black background, but the example she is using is an image, and I want to do that to an image just as they have in thier example. Anyway, in the intructions there is no mention of the image itself, just the grainy animation ...Help

Film Grain Effect, Is There One
I'm looking for a rocking film grain effect. I've seen the one on KIRUPA, but I'm looking for one that uses more actionscript.

thanks everyone!!

Special Effect Help: Film Blur?
I am trying to figure out how to create an effect of a film blur similar to the one used in Saving Private Ryan. I think it is done with a film camera by opening up the shutter, you can see the frame lines going through as the movie plays. I would like to do this in flash but with a transition effect. Does anyone know what I am talking about, if there is a tutorial out there or have any guidelines for this kind of effect?

How Can I Make A Deteriorating Film Effect?
is this possible with flash, or if not, any other application?

i want to make a website with a film-like look/effect, that seems to gradually fall apart while a visitor is viewing a page/interacts with site.

Film Grain Effect: Background
I am trying to recreate the film grain effect, and want to use my own image for the grain to appear on, but the marks I draw disappear and end up on the actual "background". Is there a way to make my image the background so the marks I do draw appear on it, not the original background? I hope this makes sense.

Thanks!
John

See here for the example I'm after. The tutorial doesn't mention how to make your image the "background".

How To Combine Film Grain Effect And Photo Gallery
Hey everyone,

Well, I'm brand-spanking new to this forum but I just wanted to say that just from browsing through tutorials and the message board, I've found a lot of great ideas. Thanks for the instructions and the creative input.
What I was interested in doing was to have a photo gallery on my site but overlaying the film grain effect on each image. So, in effect, I wanted to combine the "Film Grain" tutorial with the "Create a Photo Gallery" tutorial that are on the home page.
I'm also getting Output errors when I test the photo gallery FLA. So, if anyone has any advice on any of the above it would be greatly appreciated.

Keep up the good work!

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

[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?

So if theres any flash gurus out there who have any ideas please holla and lets discuss ...

Thanks ... help will be much appreciated ...

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.

Film Size
hi,
I'd like to ask a very basic question. I made a film which I wanted to be the size of a standard screen-say 800x600. When I viewed the film in Dreamweaver or in Flash- the page had a white border (about 1/4 inch), which I don't want. How do I avoid this border? Also if I have a photo background for a flash movie of 800x600 and I want the whole picture to be viewed on an regular size screen how do I go about this? I have made smaller Flash films so it's not been a problem until now. Now I have, for instance, a navigation page of less than 800x600 and some of the buttons are cut off and have to be scrolled to- which I really don't want! Can anyone tell me what to do?
Thanks...K

Music In The Whole Film
Dear FlashHeads,

I have created a very nice interface to be assembled and finished in Director with a few other film formats. I would like to place a music track as background music on my flash movie...

This music is to be played in low volume as long as the user has the movie running.

from what Iv'e heard in these forums is that the sprite/frames have to be as long as the music or sound file... The music is 12 minutes long and it would be rediculous to extend that many keyframe..

Is there another way of placing background music withought having to extend the sprite/frames to the length of the music ??

All the best and hope someone can help

Film Countdown - How Would You Do It?
Greetings

I'm making a website that has a "theater" theme to it. So when the page loads I want something that looks like the old film leader countdowns.

If you aren't sure what I'm talking about, look at these:
http://www.pond5.com/stock-video-foo...countdown.html

Anyway, I've got everything working, but cannot not for the life of me figure out how to make the part that goes around (usually with a slightly different color) to act as the timer, so to speak.

I don't even know how to begin doing this in ActionScript, but I have tried Frame by Frame animation. I keep running into a problem getting the circle to keep dividing, so I can get enough to where it doesn't look "choppy".

My idea is that if I have enough "wedges" for my circle it will look smooth enough. My method has been to draw a circle, then a line. Align the two, which then gives me 2 sections. I copy, paste, rotate 90, the line and now have 4. Copy, paste, rotate 45, both lines and now have 8 sections. But It refuses to go any further.

I try selecting the lines, copy, paste, rotate 22.5, which gives me the lines in the right place, but I still only get 8 sections. They don't divide anymore. I actually need to get about 32 for it to even start to look smooth.

Anyone have any suggestions?

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.
