Dust To Text To Dust Again
I am interested in making dust blow into the screen from one side;
the dust would form a text word(s) as it lands;
then the word(s) remains for a few seconds;
then have the word blow away again as dust, out the other side.
How can this be done?
Has anyone seen it?
thanks

Dust / Fuzzes
I made up a little particle thingy... it kinda looks like dust or fuzzies when you blow on them or scare them up with a Swiffer!

Dust Effect (MX)
Hello,
This is my first time using this forum. I have a question for anyone out there. I am trying to create a dust effect for my project. I have looked everywhere to get an answer on how to even approach it, but no help. The dust effect I want to create is when a piece of board hits the floor, dust flies or goes up and disappears. I want to be able to learn how you go about doing something like this. If anyone has any suggestions on how to start this, please, please let me know.

Suggestions On Wnd And Dust Effect...
hi all!
i'm just starting in on a new website for a client. the logo is etched in stone. i want to have the logo fade in but while that is happening a want a dust windblown effect to happen over the logo...like you are seeing a fast time sequenced event that has taken years to occur (ie; it's taken years of the winds blowing to carve out the logo in the stone).
does anyone have any suggestions for this that wouldn't bog down a viewers rig...it would only happen upon first entering.
thanks so much.

Fairy Dust Prototype Function
this is related to a post earlier about creating flash five as from f4, but is a different enquirey so thus a new post. Now thanks to barn for converting the as to flash five so i was able to understand it, but i am now trying to create a function from the code, and i have suceeded partially. I have turned to code into prototype functions but i would prefer to combine the two into one function to make it easier to adjust and use.
these are the two functions.
Code:
// note mc is the target mc that you wish to create fairy dust with
MovieClip.prototype.fairyDust=function(mc, dustinstances, randomrotation, rotation, FireworksShow, xspeed, yspeed, zspeed){
for (temp=1; temp<=dustinstances; temp++) {
current = Math.floor(Math.random()*1000);
mc.duplicateMovieClip("spark"+current, nDepth++);
rClip = _root["spark"+current];
if (randomrotation != 0) {
rClip._rotation = Math.floor(Math.random()*randomrotation);
} else {
rClip._rotation = rotation;
}
rClip._x = this._x;
if (FireworksShow == 0) {
rClip._x = this._x;
rClip._y = this._y;
} else {
rClip._x = Math.floor(Math.random()*550);
rClip._y = Math.floor(Math.random()*400);
}
rClip.xspeed = Math.floor(Math.random()*xspeed)-2;
rClip.yspeed = Math.floor(Math.random()*yspeed)*-1;
rClip.zspeed = Math.floor(Math.random()*zspeed)-5;
rClip.fade = Math.floor(Math.random()*5)+3;
}
}
//
MovieClip.prototype.fairyControl = function(){
zpos = zpos+_parent.zspeed;
scale = Math.floor(Math.random()*_root.dustsize);
factor = (zpos/10+100)/100;
_parent.spark._rotation = Math.floor(Math.random()*360);
_parent.spark._x += _parent.xspeed*factor;
_parent.yspeed += _root.gravity;
_parent.spark._y += _parent.yspeed*factor;
_parent.spark._xscale = scale*100;
_parent.spark._yscale = scale*100;
_parent.spark._alpha -= _parent.fade;
if (_parent.spark._alpha<=0) {
_parent.removeMovieClip();
}
}
// if you are going to try these out you will need these _root values.
FireworksShow = 0;
gravity = .98;
xspeed = 3;
yspeed = 6;
zspeed = 10;
dustsize = 3;
dustinstances = 2;
rotation = 360;
_root.spark._visible = true;
startDrag("_root.MouseDrag", true);
to get this to work you will need to have a blank mc and an object in an mc in an mc (ie _root.spark.spark)
on the blank mc place this to call the code
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.fairyDust(_root.spark, _root.dustinstances, _root.randomrotation, _root.rotation, _root.FireworksShow, _root.xspeed, _root.yspeed, _root.zspeed);
}
on the mc with object on it place this code so you will have code on the _root.spark.spark mc.
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.fairyControl();
}
ideally i would like to be able to combine the two prototypes into the one so to call just the one function from the spark mc. so i don't have to nestle mc's inside one and other and then call the function.
so if you follow i would like help on getting one function with one mc to create the same effect as it would with the others.
if you are trying out the codes, to create effective fairy dust then you need to create a small cross that fades at the edges, no bigger than 10 wide and deep, although you experiment, it's a pretty cool code.
thanks one and all
Pixie , Fairy Dust Effect
Does anyone know, or know of a tutorial that explains how to efficiently do a pixie (magical) dust effect? Kind of like how tinker bell moves and there's this trail of magical dust that follows her, any way to do that with flash without a lot of motion tweening? so that every time an object moves, a trail of magical dust follows it:
Dust Particles And Crack Appearing
Hello,
I am creating a project in which I am going to drop a box onto the stage. When the box lands, it is going to create a effect to where it looks like it is cracking the stage - Does anyone know how to create a effect to where it looks like a real crack that spreads on all sides of the box when it lands? And also I am trying to make it look like when the box lands and crack it shoots up some dust and the dust disappears. Does anyone know where to begin on any of these effects?
Thank you for any help that comes this way.

Trying To Find Tutorial For Blown Dust
I have been looking around on google and here for a tutorial that shows how to reveal something by having dust blown off the top of it
like words carved into stone that you don't really see till the fresh chisseled dust is blown away
have you guys ever seen a tutorial or how to on something close to this? I am not having much luck finding anything.
Floating Dust Particles Effect
I'm trying to achieve a dust particle effect using ActionScript 2.0. Instead of trying to explain it, I attached a MOV file showing what I want (made in After Effects). I could use a movie overlay instead of ActionScript, but I don't really like that idea... it seems like it would make the SWF unnecessarily large. I've seen something similar to this with some really sheap snow effects, but none of them seem to have the type of randomness or free-flowing movement that I'm looking for. Does anybody have any ideas?

Wind Effects
hello
After seeing the main page of this site:
http://www.motiontheory.com/
I have been trying to figure out how something like that would be done in flash (there's is java).
I guess I'm not as familar with actionScript as I'd like, but I'm not sure how to come up with an effective and not too cpu intensive way of doing something like that.
This is what I've been trying to do:
I made a mc with a graphic in it (just something small) and am moving it across the screen with actionScript.
What I'd like the mc to do, is if it gets in the area of where the mouse is, to bend around the mouse and continue in the same direction it was going. Like water flowing around a rock. Right now I'm just playing with one, as I can duplicate it all later.
I've tried searching for tuturials on but no luck. I'm probably making this more complex than I should, but i just am not sure where to even start with trying to make it bend like I'd like.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Need A Wind Effect
Hello,
I'm creating a flash "movie" and I am looking for a wind effect.
Imagine a sand drawing on the stage. And then a big gust of wind comes thru and blows the sand off the stage.
I've got one solid graphic that I would like to break apart into many smaller pieces (the sand granuals) and have a "wind" blow the smaller pieces off the stage.
Am I making sense? If so, does anyone have any idea how to accomplish this?
Thanks!

Wind Simulation Again
I need some help with simulating wind based on mouse movement (or random wind).
I've gone through the grass tutorial but haven't been able to modify enough to achieve what I'm after.
I'm looking to create a vector-looking strip of grass along the bottom of my webpage that losely follows the location of the mouse for wind. Problem is, there's a mid section in this script where the blades of grass disapear before switching directions. Can I limit the blades so that some only bend left, others only right and that they only bend to a certain degree without warping too much or shrinking to skinny?
I've attached my attempt here. Also attached an image of how I'm trying to place it within the page and get it to look.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

Leaves In Wind
I'm currently working on an idea i've had in my head for sometime but not quite sure how to accomplish it...
I can use actionscript to programmatically generate and move my leaf clips like the wind is blowing them but so far are it is, is motion, i'm looking for some way to actually RANDOMLY skew the leaf clip to make it look like it is FLIPPING in the wind
does anyone know how i might accomplish this, i'm sure i'm just thinking of it far to complex and all my previous experiments have failed
please help
Dust And Scratch Effect Positioning And Leaving Remnants On Next Frames
Hi,
I'm using Flash MX Pro 2004 and am working on a movie that uses BlackZer0's film effect .
I am trying to use the effect over the top of a movie clip that is smaller than my main stage and have successfully done that.
When the user clicks out of the dust and scratches movie, there are remnants of the dust on the next frame (not the lines) - it doesn't go away even though I am on another frame.
Here is the code from BlackZer0 that I'm using on an off-stage action for the circle (film grain/dot):
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_root.line._x=random(205);
for (i=0; i<=2; i++)
{
_root.circle.duplicateMovieClip( "circle"+i, i+1);
}
if (i=2){
i=0;
}
}
And here is the code given to the circle symbol:
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
if (this._name<>"circle"){
this._x=random(300);
this._y=random(400);
deedee=random(100);
this._xscale=deedee;
this._yscale=deedee;
}
}
Why does the circle still remain on stage once we've jumped to the next frame?
Have I given enough information?
Here's a quicky example.
Thank-you,
Rob
