Help With A Special Effect?
Hey all, I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I think I've seen something like this done before with actionscript, so I figure why not ask it here. I'm looking for help with an effect that will look like pouring water. I want to have this red hot liquid pouring from the top left of the screen down into this metallic surface. It will bubble when hitting the surface and as more gets poured, fill up the metallic bin sort of thing. I've got everything else covered, the bin, the bubbles, how to make it look as its filling up and everything. The act of pouring however, I'm clueless. I'm assuming some mask that will be in the shape of the pouring liquid, the size of it changing gently until it stops. What it will be showing, the actual fluid falling, I have no idea how to create. I would really appreciate any help I can get on this, and I would really like to try to make this effect as realistic as possible. Thanks in advance!

Special Effect How Do I Do It
Ok I have found this script for falling snow

onClipEvent (load) {
//specifies the size of the movie stage
movieWidth = 300;
movieHeight = 200;

//variables that will modify the falling snow
i = 1+Math.random()*2;
k = -Math.PI+Math.random()*Math.PI;

//giving each snowflake unique characteristics
this._xscale = this._yscale=50+Math.random()*100;
this._alpha = 75+Math.random()*100;
this._x = -10+Math.random()*movieWidth;
this._y = -10+Math.random()*movieHeight;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//putting it all together
rad += (k/180)*Math.PI;
this._x -= Math.cos(rad);
this._y += i;
if (this._y>=movieHeight) {
this._y = -5;
}
if ((this._x>=movieWidth) || (this._x<=0)) {
this._x = -10+Math.random()*movieWidth;
this._y = -5;
}
} - actionscript from Kirupa.com

I would like to know for my snow how i can make it look a bit different than jsut falling
maybe make the snow look like space where for example the ship is going fast and all the stars are going past. like have all the snow start in the center of some circle then come radially ******d at different speeds and eventually fade in transparancy.

anyone have an idea of how to do this? maybe post the actionscript or explain it a bit cuz im not sure where to start

AS For A Special Effect
Hi guys,

Im working on a special effect for a site where you click a "tile" and it changes color. That's super easy. The next part is what im having an issue with. I want muliple instances of the same Movie Clip that would fill a full page with an array of these color changing tiles. The end result im looking for is that when you click one of the MC instances, it changes all the tiles from one color to the next but they work their way out from the origionaly clicked tile until the full page is the new color. I also want to make it where no matter which tile you click, it has the same effect.

Can someone point me in the right direction? would this be an if else statement? if someone could do me up some code, Id have your e-babies.

How To Do This Special Effect?
Please tell me how to do this special effect?

Please check the website..

http://disney.go.com/disneychannel/p...cus/index.html

when you move your mouse to the circle, there are "dots/small circles" rotating around the circle, and so are other 2 circles.

You can see "star symbols, musical symbols" rotate when you move your mouse to the circle...

And I am going to do this special effect, can anybody teach me how to do it...

Thank you in advance!

Help With A Special Effect
I have an effect that I am trying to figure out how to do, but I cant quite explain it and I cant find any examples to use.

I almost always see it used on photo gallery type pages. I imagine it is some kind of mask and some actionscript involved. Essentially, the photo gallery images load with like a wiper type of effect, but with maybe different shapes and at differnt angles. The mask will usually load in increments and at different speeds until the new image is loaded.

Does that make sense?

I remember seeing a tutorial for it a while back, but I cant remember where I saw it at.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Help Re: Special Effect For Gallery
hi
can anyone please help, even if it is to just name the effect I need to look for.

I need to create an image gallery that (i'll try to explain) The images need to be upright - and on an invisible wheel - rotating. Sort of the position slides would be in a projectors slide machine. The front image would be facing the viewer and the rest on the invisible wheel at an angle, side on. The images can be clicked from the wheel and there needs to be forward and back functions to scroll through the images.

I have seen this done but cannot for the life of me find it.

Many Thanks

Mouse Trail Special Effect ?
Found this effect here on the site and I would like to learn a bit about it and how to be able to change a few things.

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Effec...dex.php?chk=no

I have looked through the actionscript on this item and have found these things -----

----
num = Math.random(1)*15;
n++;
if (n>20) {
n = 0;
}
duplicateMovieClip("sparkling", "sparkling"+n, n);
setProperty("sparkling"+n, _x, _xmouse);
setProperty("sparkling"+n, _y, _ymouse);
setProperty("sparkling"+n, _xscale, num);
setProperty("sparkling"+n, _yscale, num);
---
spark._alpha = 10;
verschily = -10+Math.random(1)*20;
verschilx = -10+Math.random(1)*20;
--
spark._alpha = spark._alpha-3;
i++;
if (i=30 && Math.random(1)*10>8) {
verschilly = -4+Math.random(1)*8;
verschillx = -4+Math.random(1)*8;
i = 0;
}
spark._x = spark._x+verschilx+verschillx;
spark._y = spark._y+verschily+verschilly;
---

I dont know what to change to make more sparkles appear. Thats My first question, I would like to do is increase the number of sparkles what can i add subtract change to allow this to happen.

Secondly, If possible, is to make a bit of a gravity effect so the sparkles look like they fall to the bottom of the screen. so after they are created they arc or start to fall toward the bottom of the scene.

Lastly I would alike to have Click effect where when you click the mouse anywhere in the movie it will make an explosion as i like to call it. The explosion is just a fast burst releasing many sparkles, making the click look very jazzy.

Hopefully someone knows what im talkin about and how they could help me out. =D thanks for your help guys.

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?

[F8] Scalable Footer & Special Effect.. Help
Hi, I have 2 questions!

1. Does anyone know how I can create a scalable footer which resizes with the browser width/height without it growing in height but the width adjusts in coordination with the browsers width, basically what i'm after can be found here (the bottom orange bar is the effect im after) http://www.mandchou.com/

2. Also I love the effect as seen on the project images (on the same site) just above the orange bar, how they grow and adjust in size in coordination with the cursor. Does anyone know how to achieve this effect also?

These effects are both going to be used in my presentation for uni, and i'm still really in the design process, but if im going to use both these effects the quicker i know how to create them the better! or i'll probably end up having to re-design it. Can anyone pleeease help me with what i'm after?

Thank You!

Special Alpha Image Masking Effect
Hello all...I have seen this alpha effect on many sites however I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it. If you look at http://www.atb-music.com/v4.5/flash/index.php and watch the transition of the images. It is almost like the images are being faded out from their highlights, by using a tint or something. Can someone point me in the right direction to how this effect is created?

THanks!!

Funkypics Special Effect, Target Actionscript?
Hi Guys

This is bound to be really easy for someone.

I'm using an effect I found on the net which moves clips around randomly, works really nicely, however, Im having a problem with it when it's put inside another MC.

I have a site setup that uses a navigation section which loads the separate sections into a container MC on the stage. When the section is loaded that contains this special effect, it doesn't work. I guess this is a target issue in the action script somewhere, but I'm not good enough with code to see it.

I would appreciate some help with this, if someone can let me know which parts need to be changed so I can do it myself later if I need to, that would be awesome!!!

The special effect file and a "container" file for it to simulate my problem are attached.

Help With Tut -> Flash 5.0 ActionScript Special-Effect (Optic Infusion Slideshow)
I used the Flash 5.0 ActionScript Special-Effect (Optic Infusion Slideshow) tutorial from this site and got it to work beautifully!

Link to tutorial: http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ac...95/index.shtml

My question is: Has anybody modified that to run automatically at the press of a button? I want the user to toggle a button that will run the slide show with a 10 sec. delay between frames and start/stop on the current frame.

New to flash so I'm not sure how to do this. I have become familiar with getTimer() so I understand that much.

Any help is MUCH appreciated!!!

Get Special Effect When Converting Flash To IPod,DVD,Apple TV, Zune,PSP...
Today it is the time to stand out from the crowd by converting Flash to Video for playing on our iPod, DVD, phone, Apple TV, PSP , Zune and other portable devices. With Moyea SWF to Video Converter which I have used about half a year, I can get some special effect, do as following, you can also get these effects:

Change the background color & Capture pictures

Click the â€œOriginalâ€ in the Background Color box, there will pop up a pigment pane, you can select one color or just DIY a color for your video background. Click the â€œCameraâ€ tab to capture a picture of the playing flash, and the image files are saved as JPEG format files. Click â€œfolderâ€ on the right to check for its saving folder. You can click the button continuously for pictures, and check them together.

Crop the Video and Add water mark
Click the button â€œCropâ€ and the following interface will pop up.

â‘ Crop the video. Crop the video size by changing the values on the right of the pane. Choose â€œSelect Allâ€, and the video will keep the original size. Or simply move your mouse cursor on the video pane to make it.

â‘¡Add image water mark. Check the â€œAdd image water markâ€ box to add an image to the video. Click â€œFolderâ€ immediately behind to browse for the image from your folder. Click â€œNoneâ€ in the box to set the transparency of your image. â€œNoneâ€ is for no editing, and on clicking â€œSelectâ€¦â€ , there will be a dialog box pops up automatically.

â‘¢Edit the image. Set the RGB values to DIY a color, showing in the bar below. Drag the tolerance bar, you can easily get the picture altered in pixel; drag the Alpha bar to adjust the opacity of the picture. Click â€œOKâ€ to continue.

â‘£Set the image position. Place the position of your image by changing the values on the right side. Click the lock in the core, and you can set one certain value without changing other values.

Rip audio to an independent file
Check the â€œRip Audioâ€ box, and the audio will be extracted and generated as a single file. Click the â€œfolderâ€ on the right to browse for the audio destination folder, and click the â€œLocateâ€ button, the destination folder will pop up itself.
