Exploding Text Effects?
I need to make some very nice exploding text. Sure I could use FlashMx to do it but god I don't have all day. Aren't there a couple exploding text effect programs that are compatible with flash, well they export .swf files or whatever?!?! Swift3d or Swish?? Anyways, I've never used either of these but I here they are great. Are they any good for text effects? And if anyone knows a quick tutorial for exploding text using the prog that would be excellent. Thanks in advance =)

Please Help, I'm Almost Exploding
I'm having a very simple question:

i have two scenes (start & main)
i want to jump from start to main if the user clicks on the mc in start
in the 20th frame of start i placed the mc with 10 frames. in the 10th frame of the mc i write the script:

_root.gotoAndPlay("main", "123");
(in main i named the first frame 123)

and nothing happens, but if i write:

tellTarget ("_root") {
gotoAndPlay("main", "123");
}

it works.

What is wrong???

Thanks in advance

Exploding Like Glass
My goal is to make my graphic explode into small pieces. I have a static graphic that I imported onto keyframe one. I then broke it apart (ctrl + B) then I took the lasso tool to cut it. I tried to cut it up and put each piece on a separate frame with motion tween. It looked terrible. I have no idea what I'm doing. Can someone assist me please? If their is a tutorial out there, can someone guide me?
Imagine a sheet of glass and when you drop it it explodes into small pieces - that is what i am looking for.

Thanks to all my flash friends,
Cya9d

Exploding Image
I have an image broken into a few hundred symbols and I want them to break apart to give an explosion effect to the image. Anyone know how this would be possible?

---

Exploding Image
I have a picture that I broke into several hundred squares. I made each square a symbol and now I would like them to move apart to make it seem like the image is exploding. Is there any way to do this w/o having to edit each symbol seperately? Maybe some kind of loop that uses the symbol name (ie: Symbol * (* = number)).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

:eek: Exploding Tweens
I have an easy enough question I'm sure, but it's bothering the snot out of me!

I seem to have a problem with my tweens "exploding" on the initial movement tween. Picture a leg walking for this quick example..

FRAME:
1: stationary lower leg, upper leg, foot
5: moved upper leg up, left, and angled it slightly. Repeat for lower leg and foot.
10: again moved each piece slightly and angled it again.
15: moved, angled.. you get the idea.

Ok, you get the picture by now, I do the SAME exact thing for all frame transitions! Now, I tween each one, starting with frame one through whichever I end the movement at. Only the FIRST tween ever gives me problems, instead of simply moving to the next motion the parts literally explode ******ds! The pieces will move drastically out of the limits in either the starting or ending positions, past any movement I've given them in the entire flash. Then they jump quickly back into place and the next tweens work fine with no explosions, no matter how many I use after that. It's only this initial tween that explodes, and it’s exploded in different animations and in different flashes without me being able to fix it.

It's not just the leg walking thing. I realize now that I can do a frame by frame for that. (I did manage to search these forums pretty extensively before asking for help.) This is a problem with every series of tweens I do, the first one always blows up unaccountably like this.

Was hoping there's an embarrassingly easy was to solve this!

My Heads Exploding HELP
OK
I am trying to move up a level in my flashing
But I am totally stumped and need some help here.

I am trying to mimic this menu( select english then use the menu)

http://www.monblanc-traiteur.com/

I want a menu that is a square with the word MENU in it.
and when you mouse over the square the word menu fades off and a few new words fade and slide in.

Now my problem is I make the square with a rollover attached to it
and that tells the menu MC to start fading out and tells the new words to move in
BUT

if I mouse over one of the new words (links)It takes that as a rollout and
messes it all up

How do I make the above menu from URL? please help me I am so freaked out hehehehe

Exploding Bullet Help
Hi i am new here i my first problem i came around to was this...

i am making a game, and on this game there is a gun that shoots bullets (duh)
(bull)
PHP Code:




onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    _root.bullets.push(this);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    _x += x;
    _y += y;
    if (_x<0 || _x>550 || _y<0 || _y>400) {
        removeMovieClip(this);
    }
    if (this.hitTest(_root.player.hitbox)) {
        _root.gotoAndStop("gameover");
    }
    if (_root.bunk.hitTest(this._x, this._y, true)) {
        removeMovieClip(this);
    }
}






has no instance name: gun

PHP Code:




onClipEvent (load) {
    is = 1;
    want = 30;
    power = 10;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    if (_root.pause == false) {
        _rotation = Math.atan2(_root.player.hitbox._y+_root.player._y-_y, _root.player.hitbox._x+_root.player._x-_x)/(Math.PI/180)+90;
        if (is<want) {
            is++;
        } else {
            is = 0;
            _root.level++;
            duplicateMovieClip(_root.bull, "b"+_root.level, _root.level);
            b = eval("_root.b"+_root.level);
            b._x = _x;
            b._y = _y;
            arot = 180-_rotation;
            ur = arot/180*Math.PI;
            b.x = Math.sin(ur)*power;
            b.y = Math.cos(ur)*power;
        }
    }
}






and a bunker with the instance of (bunk).
so i want it so that the bullet explodes when it hits the bunker so here is the code that i am trying to modify it is ment for a frame so when i try to put it on a mc it does not work

PHP Code:




if (_root.bunk.hitTest(bull._x, bull._y, true)) {
    onMouseDown = function ():Void {
        var totalFragments:Number = randRange(minFragments, maxFragments);
        var fragment_mc:MovieClip;
        var depth:Number = this.getNextHighestDepth();
        for (var i:Number = 0; i<totalFragments; i++, depth++) {
            fragment_mc = attachMovie("Fragment", "fragment"+depth, depth);
            fragment_mc._x = bull._x;
            fragment_mc._y = bull._y;
            fragment_mc._width = fragment_mc._height=randRange(minSize, maxSize);
            while (!fragment_mc.speedX) {
                fragment_mc.speedX = randRange(-maxSpeed, maxSpeed);
            }
            while (!fragment_mc.speedY) {
                fragment_mc.speedY = randRange(-maxSpeed, maxSpeed);
            }
            fragment_mc._alpha = randRange(10, 100);
            fragment_mc.cacheAsBitmap = true;
            fragment_mc.onEnterFrame = function():Void  {
                this._x += this.speedX;
                this._y += this.speedY;
                if (this._x<gLEFT || this._x>gRIGHT || this._y<gTOP || this._y>gBOTTOM) {
                    this.removeMovieClip();
                }
            };
        }
    };
}






(other variables)

PHP Code:




/* GLOBAL VARIABLES */
_global.gLEFT = 0;
_global.gTOP = 0;
_global.gRIGHT = Stage.width;
_global.gBOTTOM = Stage.height;
/* VARIABLES ON _root */
var maxSpeed:Number = 25;
var minSize:Number = 4;
var maxSize:Number = 10;
var minFragments:Number = 50;
var maxFragments:Number = 150;
/* FUNCTION: Returns a random number between min and max (inclusive) */
function randRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number {
    var randomNum:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*(max-min+1))+min;
    return randomNum;
}






help is much appreciated, and take your time

I need to be able to explode this at " "(spaces) so i can then used command[1]=connect command[2]=127.0.0.1 command[3]=80 so i can use the info they entered for the correct use. I know how to do this is php, but dont know if it is possible in actionscript or not. Can anyone help?

Help With Exploding Graphic
Hey Everyone,

Here's another problem I am having. Anyway, what I am trying to do is to take this graphic I have created and have a fist come from behind and punch through and shatter the graphic like glass.

What do I have to do in order to get the graphic to break apart - do I have to cut it apart in Fireworks and then import every piece???

I'm not sure, but if there's anyone out there who would be willing to lend a helping hand I would appreciate it. The graphic is attached for your review. Thanks.

Exploding Effect Using AS
Hi guys:

I'm creating an interactive site and the introduction is a grid of stock images that consist of hidden functionalities.

I want to create an explosion effect so that when one of the squares in the grid is clicked, all other squares will explode out of the scene at the same time and expose a button that will bring everything back to their place when pressed.

I have gotten a click and drag function on 4 of the squares on the grid and tried using of its AS charactaristics, but no luck so far.

Can anyone provide a quick code to be applied to each object if the "explode" button is told to gotoAndPlay(n)?


Thanks!!

Exploding Snow - Help Please
Hi,
I am making a falling snow animation based on the script called 'Snowflakes' (found on fla source files > experimental actionscript > page 5).
I basicly want the flakes to explode when you roll over them with the mouse.
Inside the clip I have made a small animation where the flake explodes and there is a stop action on the first frame. On the clip I have a rollover function, which simply tells the clip to play.
This works fine for making one flake explode at a time, however how do I make ALL the flakes explode when you roll over one flake ? I can't figure out how to target more than one flake at a time.

I hope someone can help.
Thanks

Exploding Varibles In Actionscript...
Can I do this?

Like:

$author[$id]

$author is the main varible with a sub varible of $id

So if Author was Xavier and ID was 3 It would be

Xavier3

Can actionscript do this?

Like this is what I am sending to flash, from PHP

author[$id] = "author$id=". "rawurlencode(Xavier)";

So in flash it would be Author(ID) = Xavier


Arrrg someone HELP!!

Code For Exploding Firework Anyone?
I'm trying to animate a rocket exploding in a shower of stars, which fall to earth.
My limited understanding of physics says there must be a simple equation for the stars' paths, and by duplicating the star mc and adding a random variable to each, they should all fall slightly differently (i.e realistically).
Searching for tutorials was fun:
Flash tutorial + fireworks = Fireworks MX,
+ explosion = making bombs with flash powder!
+ shower = all you need to know about baby showers!

can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

thanks in advance

Crazy Exploding Flash Fills
This happens to me a lot - I type some stuff and I want to give it a shadow, so I break it apart, copy it and attempt to enlarge the copy by expand filling (modify-shape-expand fill) and only by one pixel. It then expands some of it and screws up the rest. What was 'artists portfolios' is instead a slightly larger 'art.;'s p0r,./-ios' - is this just flash 5 showing its age?
