I need help with the opening part of a Star wars type flash. I will describe the scene. The screen is all black, and after about 15 secs, you see 2 light sabres coming out of no where (No hilt) and the two light sabres fight each other. I am having trouble with the animation. I can draw OK in flash, but i cant seem to make the light sabres look good as they are fighting. Can anyone please help me. I also could use some help with making the models of the people, but for right now the main thing that i need is help with the opening scene. Please help if you can or comment or anything please. I have tried just about everything and nothing seems to makie it look any better at all

Star Wars
Is there any way to make a dynamic paragraph scroll in like the starwars intro?

Star Wars Anyone?
Hi!
I have a project to do for my web design class and i have an idea for the type of site i want to create in flash, but the problem is, im not sure how to start the intro. I would like to have it be like a star wars thing where they go "hyper speed" and the stars seem to zoom past them, and i tried doing it with a shape tween but that isnt very pretty lol, would it be an action scripting thing? if anyone has any idea about this, your help would be greatly apprectiated!
thanks guys-

Star Wars Text
How would i go about creating a star wars text like feature on my Flash 5 movie?????? How would you pinch both the upper corners to do so?

Star Wars Text
Hey guys. I have been trying really hard to get the Star Wars begining text right, it has to be pinched at teh top but i dont see anyway of doing it. I have seen other animators do it, but i can seem to be able to do it myself. Any suggestions on how to do it would be gratefully recieved.

Star Wars Writing - Please Help
Hi there,
I'm looking to make star wars style writing dissapearing off into the background.
I assumed I'd be able to make the right (trapezium????) shape with skew but you can only skew from left to right and not make the top smaller than the bottom.
Is there an easy way to do this????
Thanks for reading.

Star Wars Crawl
howdy,
I'm working on my first project in college and as you may guess im a full blown newbie and having the usual difficulties.

but, for my intro i want to do the Star wars opening text crawl, as my project has a slight sci fi feel to it. upon investigating i found an easy way to do it by copying several instances of textboxes below the stage and tweening them to 0%Alpha and 0 height at the top centre of the stage and then moving each text box along in the time line.

so the idea is to create staggered tweens that look nuiform enough to be like the star wars,

BUT!!! and pardon my parlance, but it looks crap! i have been trying to do everything else except the actionscript as im just not familiar with it, can anybody help?

Star Wars Title
ok so im trying to do something very similar to the star wars title, where the words 'star wars' slowly comes in and scales down, i created an image in PS that says star wars and placed it into flash, everything works fine except as the image gets smaller, it scales down much faster and look really cheesy, any ideas, thanks

ActionScript Code:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,shrink);
var lastTime:Number = getTimer();
var timeDiff:Number;
bigText_mc.scaleX = bigText_mc.scaleY = 7;
function shrink(evt:Event){
 timeDiff = getTimer() - lastTime;
 lastTime+=timeDiff;
 
 bigText_mc.scaleX = bigText_mc.scaleY -= (.5 * timeDiff/1000);
 if(bigText_mc.scaleX <= .9){
 bigText_mc.alpha-=.01;
 }
 
 }

Star Wars-type Scroll Help?
Does anyone know where I can find help in doing a scroll like in the beginning of the Star Wars movies? Thanks

Star Wars Scrolling Text...
Anybody know of an easy way to skew/deform text so that it can scroll across the screen similar to that of the intros in Star Wars???

Would it be better to create static text or dynamic text??? Should a person create a movie clip to create the text, thus being able to use the instance, even if it's only to be used once???

Or, if you want to have this 'text going into the distance' effect multiple times with different text... can this effect be done by loading text files externally???

Thanks!!!

Star Wars Type Effect
Heys Guys,

I just joined Flash kit today with the hopes that I might be able to gain more information on Flash etc. Right now I seem to be having troubles with Flash Typing Effects. What I really want to do now I just make a stars type of text effect that kind of leans. I know its possible because Ive seen it done and I figured that many of you in this forum appear to be very intelligent when it comes to flash (=

So any help I can get will be very......ah helpful.

Thanks

Skewing Text Like In Star Wars?
Can someone/anyone please tell me how to skew text as was done at the beginning of Star Wars. I need to skew text to give the illusion of perspective (like if you were standing at one end of a hallway and text written on one of the walls and it gets smaller and smaller as you look further and further down the hallway) and I have no idea how to do it. Thanks in advance.

Star Wars Style Text Anyone?
Hi,
Am trying to resize/taper a dynamic text field to look star wars like. You know, like the text at the start of all star wars movies. It has to be a text field too..

Its a tricky one! Not as easy as it seems.. Is there a way around this problem?? or is there simply no way to do it?

Any help would be fantastic!

Steven.

Star Wars Scrolling Font

i'm very new to flash, so basics please!

thanks in advance for your help.

Star Wars Text Effect
This one has really stumped me. I don't really have a lot of experience with action script, so that might help, but I don't know.

What I mean about the Star Wars Text Effect is the opening of all the movies, where the yellow text comes up from the bottom of the screen and then fades by moving farther away into the center, and gets skinner and smaller. It confuses me.

Can anyone help me out?

Star Wars Scrolling Text
Hey, I'm doing a Star Wars animation and i have no idea on how to make the text go up like in the movies, you no when it goes to the stars, well if anyone could help me with like a walkthrough on how to do it would be awesome, hope you can help, thanks

Star Wars Intro Tween
I need some help doing a tween for a clip like the intro to Star Wars, where the title zooms out and fades into the stars before the opening crawl text comes up.

I figured I'd just tween it and have it zoom out, but I've been having a lot of trouble with the speed. It starts out at an okay pace, but as it gets smaller, the rate of shrinking gets faster and faster, and it looks pretty tacky. What I want is for it to move at a steady pace the whole way through the animation, like it does in the Star Wars intro; actually, it would be better if the rate were reversed, with it going faster initially, and getting slower as it gets farther away.

I tried an ease out of 100, but that doesn't kick in until about 2/3 - 3/4 of the way into the animation, so there's still a noticeable acceleration. My other idea was to do a "speedbump" approach, setting keyframes and stretching the animation at certain points to even out the pace. I'd like to know if there's a better way to do this, like if there's some other function of MX that I haven't found. This is plain MX I'm using, by the way, not '04.

Help With Star Wars Galaxies Web Site
Iam making a guild for SWG and I posted the same thing along these lines so please forgive me...lost the thread and havn't had time to really work on site anyway...

I was using the kirupa tutorial on making sites and using their code for linking swfs withing the web site.

1st thing is when tested this message pops up:

Output:
Scene=Scene 1, Layer=actions, Frame=2: Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (release) {

after that i can navagate through what links i have and view stuff..but one of the few links i got requires me to double click the botton to load it up. Sometimes gotta click other links first and then hit that button to make it work??? Im lost confused. Those that posted last time to help sorry Iam such a pain.

Star Wars Text Crawl..an Old One I Know,sorry

I'm working on my first project in college and as you may guess im a full-blown newbie and having the usual difficulties.

so the idea is to create staggered tweens that look uniform enough to be like the star wars crawl

BUT!!! and pardon my parlance, but it looks crap! i have been trying to do everything else except the actionscript as im just not familiar with it, can anybody help?

Also I wish to make a cool effect on my project, i will film a friend of mine in front of a blue background, and then try to superimpose him onto a background image in my flash project,

can this be done?

any tips or advice?

Star Wars Opening Text Effect
I need to recreate the opening text effect of Star Wars, with the text starting out screen-wide and retreating into a vanishing point...

will this require that I break apart the entire paragraph of text and skew in some way?

I appreciate any suggestions from those of you for whom this is probably a no-brainer!

Nice to have a "safe" place to ask these kinds of questions.

(BTW, this is for a project not related to the Star Wars 2002 Flash contest...I happened to see the contest here on Flash Kit when I did a search on "Star Wars".)

Fading Text Prob (Star Wars)
Okay... everyone try to remember what the text looked like as it faded away into the background at the beginning of every star wars movie. The text was angled backwards and seemed to disapear into the middle. I want to be able to do this effect in my introduction of my webpage. Currently I just have it so that the text gets smaller and smaller and smaller then fades out... but when it gets to the very end the text at the end is coming out small as well, so you can barely read what it says. Anyways, what I have done so far is at this link: http://pandora.wd1.net/~t2training/breadbox/Main.html
Please pull out a star wars movie that you might happen to have sitting around so you can see the effect I am looking for when it comes to the paragraph text and try to help me in figuring out how to make it look like that. Thanks.

Star Wars Style Scrolling Text
I want to put a small text box in the right column of my site, I want the text in a text box to scroll through to the end and then loop back around and start again by itself. But I want it to do it automatically, no scrollbar, arrows or user intervention, just continually scroll in the box.

Okay, I made a little progress but I did it with a simple motion tween and mask. It plays for about 100 frames and then loops back but I'm wondering if there is an easier way because even at 100 frames it still goes way too fast and it is kind of jerky.

Here it is in action - Hit the HOME button after the site loads and it is on the right hand side. *caution - site is kind of big right now.

FLASH WARS
<EMBED src="start_autumn.swf?+varhome=http://www.myserver.com/main.php"></EMBED>

then I have the loaded to level 4 movie with button that have an action:

on (press, release, releaseOutside) {
getURL (_level0.varhome, "_self", "GET");
}

And it's doesn't works, in debugger I see that I have varhome in level0, and value is correct, but I can't pass this value to that button, I tried to create function, like this:

onClipEvent (load) {
function sethome () {
_level4.varhome = _level0.varhome;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
sethome(this);
}
(of course then button script as follows:
on (press, release, releaseOutside) {
getURL (_leve4.varhome, "_self", "GET");
}

and it's works correct, but not not with this varhome variable... It's drives me crazy, because debugger shows that I have value on main timeline, but I can't get it...

Thanx in advance for everybody.

I hope the catchy title lures someone in to help me.

I have a flash site (see link) which has an xml image gallery. This works fine when I don't preload the MC holding the gallery, but when I DO (and I'd like to) the image preloaders WITHIN the gallery stop working. I'm stumped. If anyone can figure out how to get ALLL the preload bars moving and functional....i'd love them forever.
