Flash :: Flying Bird

Flying Bird
I am new to Flash. I just upgraded to CS3 and am trying to create an employee website with a flash file. I created my design in Photoshop and am using Fireworks to create my slices and Dreamweaver to finish it off. I am not sure if I need to do my slices first in Fireworks and then import that into Flash to create my animation. anyone know?

also, for my flash file, I have a scene with a tree, buildings, grass and clouds. I wanted to add a bird flying, some moving clouds and a light flashing on and off. The problem I am having is with the bird flying. I found animated gifs on the internet and tried to use those with a motion guide but the animated gif won't work. I tried doing my own animation with a bird with it's wings up and then down. It is very choppy and I know I didn't do it the right way. I used all kinds of keyframes and motion tweened between each one and then added motion guide. Can anyone help me out? I just want a small black bird flying across my scene and I want to do it the easiest way as possible. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Flying Bird For Flash
Hi guys

I need to make an animated vector flying bird. Not a bird drawing but a bird shape only. First i tought that making some modifications to he vector and then doing a shape tween would be enough but i havent been provided by a good shape....

I got Poser 6 but even i have basic knowledge about 3D programs like Lightwave i'm stuck with it. I was told you can animate animals with it but i haven't been able to change the character.

Can anyone point me to a basic tutorial for Poser 6, a model ti import into Poser or maybe any other idea on how to make a simple flying bird.

A Bird
What i need to do is make a small bird fly across (from left to right) the header graphic of my page. Im pretty new to flash, but i do know how to make it JUST move from one side to another. I want to be able to make the wings move up and down as though its flying while actually moving.

If someone could help me out, ill be on aim @ yo MrStiffy.

Exploding Bird
Hello! I have an animation of a bird flying that starts when the "our work" button on our site is rolled over. I would like to make this bird explode somehow, where ever he is atthetime, when the button is released....then, the "our work" section would load. Any ideas?

Bird Flock
I once saw an animated bird flock, it was a gif or a swf.
You know where can i find one that is animated to use in a flash animation?

Random Bird Movement
Does anybody have any random code I can slap on a movieclip that will look like a bird (seagulls) moving in the distant? I tried tweening it it but it just looks too repititive and boring.

I'll have at least 5 birds that I want to animate, I figure it will be easier if I just do it with code.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Creating An Animated Bird
I am trying to incorporate a "near realistic" animated bird into my website, but I don't know how to go about it. I want the bird perching, and later flying away just as birds do. I was hoping may be someone can point me in the right direction. Anyone seen something like this done before? thanks

[MX04] My Bird Gets Stuck At A Certain X Coordinate
Hey gang,

I'm working on a site that includes an animated hummingbird and it's supposed to hover around some flowers in kind of a circular pattern. My problem is that it gets stuck at a certain x coordinate and then just moves up and down. You can see it HERE . Watch the bird for a few secs and you'll see it stick.

I've kind of cobbled my code together from a shooter game I was working on a while ago, and I've forgot where I found the tute or the source code so I don't remember exactly what it's doing. Can someone look at it and tell me where it's sticking?

code: var flightAmount:Number = 75;
var flightSpeed:Number = 7;
myBird.onEnterFrame = function() {
moveBird(this);
};
function moveBird(bird) {
var dir:Number = (Math.round(Math.random()*10) == 0) ? -15 : 15;
bird.ang += dir;
bird.ang = bird.ang%360;
var x:Number = Math.sin(bird.ang*(Math.PI/180))*flightSpeed;
var y:Number = Math.cos(bird.ang*(Math.PI/180))*flightSpeed;
if (bird.birdFlight._x+x<flightAmount && bird.birdFlight._x>-flightAmount) {
bird.birdFlight._x += x;
}
if (bird.birdFlight._y+y<flightAmount && bird.birdFlight._y+y>-flightAmount) {
bird.birdFlight._y += y;
}
if (bird.birdFlight._rotation+dir<10 && bird.birdFlight._rotation+dir>-200){
bird.birdFlight._rotation += dir;
}
}
myBird.ang = 0;
myBird._y = 225;
myBird._x = 250
myBird._xscale = 70
myBird._yscale = 70

Any help is most appreciated!

Hrmm... Animating A Bird Flappin It's Wings
Basically i got 4 birds on fenceposts, and when i click on em i want them to fly away..... that's not really my question tho...i just need some animating tips on moving the wings... i've dinked around with em for awhile but can't get em to look right, here's the .fla

it looks cheesy as hell, but i'm bored and im just experimenting =D

Flying Fonts
I'm new to Flash. I've always been impressed with text animation that allows the single characters to fly on or off the page along a path. Is there a dark secret associated with this trick or is it a simple set of commands.

Flying Sitemap

Flying Envelope
Hi!

I am realy bad att doing smoth animations, i need
a envelope going out from a hole ( circle ) flying out
and disipear...

Could someone show me a movieclip that works

Thanks out there

Flying Buttons
hey. i have about 100 buttons on one screen that i want to fly in from the left... ONE AT A TIME... is there an easier way to do this with as maybe and not have to made 100 different layers and manually animate EVERY STINKIN' ONE.........?

Flying In Space
I understand that this code is probably MUCH more complex than it needs to be so If you can condense it, great. The major problem, however, is that it dosen't work. The intent is to get a ship to fly around the screen, in all directions. the rotation works fine and the problem is only that the ship stops short when the key is released rather than either gradually slowing down or maintaining a set speed.

code:

if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
vx += speed*Math.sin(this._rotation*(Math.PI/180));
vy -= speed*Math.cos(this._rotation*(Math.PI/180))
this._x += vx;
this._y += vy;
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
vx -= speed * (Math.sin(this._rotation*(Math.PI/180)));
vy += speed * (Math.cos(this._rotation*(Math.PI/180)));
this._x += vx;
this._y += vy;
}
}

,

vx and vy are velocities on the two axes.

if you want the full code or just prefer working in flash, I included my .fla's for you.

Flying Through Words
link

I have been playing with this for a long time, and I can not get the hang of it.......does any one know of a tute or a simpler open source to get the concept to the z axis floating thing.

This one is done with arrays and random.

I want it to do a distinct line up.

Any one have any ideas?

Flying Butterfly
http://www.wiretree.com/lauraturner/site/main.html

Do anyone know how to create a butterfly like that? Filmshooting and edit in photoshop?

Any opinion is welcome

Flying Leaves
Anyone out there know how i can recreate this effect? I'm quite a newbie but I hope to achieve this with the help of you guys!

Its like leaves appear from the left side of a movie stage and they sweep across to the right ... u know?

then using arrays these leaves are called and attached randomly at the left side of the stage and they are to fly across about 3/4 of the screen and fade off?

basically its something like ~this~ but the only concern is i need it to be random.

Thanks. ANy help is appreciated.

Flying Butterfly
This is somewhat silly but I can not create a smooth butterfly flight as appearing on this site: http://www.spankclothing.ca

I created a motion on defined path with movie clip of flying butterfly going from point A to point B. What I get is distorted butterfly moving in rather unnatural way.

What am I doing wrong?

I know this is very simple for most users here so please overwhelm me with responses!

Thanks a bunch!!

How do you create an effect of flying over a field(picture) and coming to a stop? Do you just zoom and tween?

UFO Flying Across The Page
Hi, Im designing a site for a theme park. The site is being built in xhtml. The client wants a UFO to fly from one side of the page to the other - or perhaps diagonally. Can this be done in flash? Ive seen those annoying adverts that I think is done in flash, which animates over the page. would i somehow embed a flash movie which is 100% size of screen and set the background to transparent? I dont know, is this feasible?
thanks.
ps
also - i quite like the feature on this site where the panel animates up from the bottom of the browser screen advertising a new book. how have they done this?

Flying Dandelions
Does anyone remember a .fla that showed how to create an effect of dandelions flying across the screen. It showed how to create them "flying" by from the wind, swaying back and forth. It's probably around two years old by now, but I think that Innovative-FX did the tutorial, but now I cant find it. Specifically, I thought Samuel Wan did it, but no info found anywhere on his sight.

Can anyone recall what Im trying to describe and where I could find it? Please help...

Flying Text

Hope you have som ideas...

Flying Lines
Hi, here's a great website,
http://www.cordovanmusic.com/
i was just wondering how they made those flying lines? is it hard to code, or does anyone know a source or tutorial covering something like this, id love to make use of it.

Help With A Flying Object
Not sure if this is the correct place to post this request.

I am after some help with an idea i have. Unfortunatly, i keep failing and haven't got very far with it at all.

I have a banner advert that i would like a bird to fly around. The bird's flight path should look natural - i.e. not a repeated single straight line, but maybe flying on and off the screen at random points with the bird point in the right direction. Maybe also sometimes the bird could turn around on screen.

Can anybody help?

Flying Banners
I need to create a flying ad banner to appear in a home page.

I used a method that is not very suitable, I put an HTML DIV tag that I set invisible using the fscommand and javascript when the user decide to close the banner.

The problem is that if my banner is not rectangle I cannot select text and links under it. And I can't fully use Flash to make the banner move.

Other problem is that I can't control what flash movie is on top if the banner happens to be over another flash movie.

Any clue?

Flying Saucers All Over Burtonland
hello helpful people...

im creating a website authored only in flash to explore the worlds created by director tim burton...

but ive got a problem with my mars attacks! shoot-em-up game

when enter the game from the menu page all is ok, but when i try to link back at the end of the game, the flying saucers (that are randomly generated within a movie clip)continue across the screen when i go back to my menu page...i used 'stopallsounds' that stops all the game sounds okay...but is there a similar function to stop movie clips?

theyve invaded all my scenes!...can anyone save me from these aliens in a independence day stylee!...or maybe just tell me the actionscript to keep this movie clip operating in its own scene!

thanks in advance...

Flying Across Screen - Flash Ads....how To Do This?
Has anyone out there ever seen those flash ads that fly across your screen on like a layer of some kind? DHTML? Does anyone know how to do this or how it is done...like what does the script consist of and how to build a flash file to do this sort of thing? Who does this stuff?

I saw one a yahoo.com...it just came out of nowhere and flashed an ad for about 10 seconds and then it was gone....it was totally seemless and was fully interactive.

How can I do this?

Thanks guys!
