Flash :: How Do You Create A Movie Reel Effect?

Old Movie Reel Effect
I am wanting to make an old movie reel effect for my website using Flash 5. My navigation bar is going to come down and run by much like it would if it were going through a projector. When it stops I want all my links to look like slides from the reel. Any suggestions on where to start or how to go about doing this?

Old Film Reel Effect
How can I do an old fashion film effect with scratches, the number countdown, and maybe even the sound of it all too? Is there a tutorial out there that will help? I am not sure if it would have to be a separate movie loaded on top of the main movie I want to show though.

Can anyone point me towards a tutorial or just a movie example of an old time movie reel countdown. Like a black and white 5,4,3,2,1 thing.

Create Convincing "flipping Over" Effect And How To Stop Movie Clips
I am creating an application for kids where there are many stars flying around the screen. Each star has a letter. When you click on a star, the star flips over to reveal a word starting with that letter.

I have two questions:

1. I cannot seem to flip the star over convincingly. I am using a motion tween to make it narrower, and then tweening it to widen it but it does not look like it's really flipping over, because it's changing directions, rather than continuing the complete turn. Is there a better way to do this?

2. I have a button within this movie clip that when clicked upon, flips the star and reveals the text. But I also want the movie clip itself to stop moving when the child clicks on the star. How can I add an action to the movie clip, telling it to stop? (I've been using buttons until now and I think I need an onClipEvent action, but I'm not that familiar with onClipEvent.)

Thank you for your help.

Demo Reel
I'm not sure if this is posted in the wrong forum. If it is, sorry

Ok, this is what I need done. First of all, if you have been to my site you know that my sister and I are a brother-sister tap team. We are looking to make a demo reel using some of our video clips that we have.

Now, I have no idea where to start .

If someone could please contact me on any of the instant messenger programs, or email me at michael@twofortap.com to help me, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you, and I hope to hear from someone soon!

Cotton Reel
here's a little thing i made whilst i was messing around.

my idea was to create a 'cotton reel' that is on a spring so that you can pull string from it, and when you loosen your string, it rolls back up.

take a look

[edit]updated it so it's smoother when you roll over it - my friend complained [/edit]

Help With Picture Reel
I'm creating a picture show reel. It's very basic, but it's only for learning purposes. As far as I can tell, the Actionscript is correct. It's supposed to show three slides, but instead it's showing four. And the first two are overlapping each other. Can someone take a look at it for me? Thanks. I'll also post the code. It might be fruitless though if not looking at the FLA. It can be obtained from here

center = Stage.width/2;
cellWidth = reel_mc.cell_mc._width;
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
leftStop = center-reel_mc._width+cellWidth/2;
rightStop = center-cellWidth/2;
reelSpeed = (_xmouse-center)/10;
reel_mc._x += reelSpeed;
if (reel_mc._xrightStop) {
reel_mc._x = rightStop;
}
};
function NewCell(num, details) {
oldClip = _root.reel_mc.cell_mc;
newClip = oldClip.duplicateMovieClip("cell"+num, num);
newClip._x = num*300;
}

NewCell(1, "");
NewCell(2, "");
NewCell(3, "");

Picture Reel Problem
*~ Made Using : FlashMX ~*

I have just tried to make a flash picture reel that loads up jpg's externaly and shows them in the picture viewer that you can scroll horizontaly (Newbie stuff or what! But that's me newbie ) Anyway when the pictures load up they don't load in the position of placeholder_mc and only one of them actually shows up? I need to know why they wont show in place? If you need to see the file I have ZIP'd it up and attatched it to this post with the pictures to.

Thanks in advance.

Scrolling Picture Reel
Hi I need some help please. I am trying to accomplish a scrolling pic reel exactly like the one on this website http://www.lomamedia.com/V1.html. I want it in a bottom, scrolling continously without any pause or break in between and so far i have came up with this code only

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x += 3
}

If someone knows the correct script please help. I can only use actionscript 1 that is what's compatible with my editor.

Embedding A Demo Reel F8
What is the most effective way of showing video on the web?
Do I embed a flash video on my flash site or open a seperate url
as a quicktime or wmv?

Do I need a seperate streaming app or is flash effective enough?
The demo reel needs to be small but still have sharp image, It will be higher quality than normal as it is an efx reel.

Any ideas?

Scrolling Reel Problem
I created a continous slide show usind the scrolling reel tuturial. The show works fine, the problem is when I load slideShow.swf into another movie clip in another movie.

I want the slideShow.swf to play when a certain button is pushed. So far in the home timeline on the first frame of the actions layer I have this:

button.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.section != "slideShow.swf") {
_root.section = "slideShow.swf";
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing");
}
};

the movie clip that the slideShow.swf is loading into has an instance name of "container."

This is the code on the first line of the slide show

slide_number = 17;

reel_speed = 1;
slide_count = 3;
m1 = _root.content.slide_1;
m2 = _root.content.slide_2;
m1._x = 0;
m1._y = 0;
m2._x = 600;
m2._y = 0;
_root.content.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.content.moveLeft(reel_speed);
};
function moveLeft(nPixels) {
m1._x -= nPixels;
m2._x -= nPixels;
if (m1._x<-600) {
m1 = _root.content["slide_" + slide_count];
slide_count = slide_count += 1;
if (slide_count > slide_number) {
slide_count = 1;
}
m1._x = 550;
m1._y = 0

}
if (m2._x<-600) {
m2 = _root.content["slide_" + slide_count];
slide_count = slide_count += 1;
if (slide_count > slide_number) {
slide_count = 1;
}
m2._x = 550;
m2._y = 0;
}
}

What I have noticed is the first slide loads corectly, but then the rest don't work. Do I have a wrong path for all of the slides except for slide_1?

Flash Demo Reel: What's The Best Way To Put This Together?
Hey all,

I'm putting together a demo reel of a variety of Flash projects we've done.

I would like the resulting file to be controllable with a Flash controller, meaning I'd like users to be able to pause it, rewind, fast forward or scrub through it.

I already have a component for the VCR style controller but how would you suggest putting the various pieces together in a way that it will be controllable?

- Should I bring in each of the various Flash movies as a separate scene in an external movie, then export it as a SWF and load it into a holder MC?

- Should I bring each of the various movies into a separate slide? Would slides even work with a controller?

Is there a comletely different way altogether? What do you guys think?

Script To Move A Reel Of Pics?
Hi there

I have a website I'm working on, and I have the stage 700x400 filled with the first image from a reel of pics (the reel has 5 pics, each 700x400).

I want it to work so that when I click on one of the buttons, the reel moves along to the next pic in line (gliding in, not just budging up). I guess that means once you've clicked 4 buttons, it will start moving backwards? Not sure, to be honest.

Any ideas what kind of thing I need for this?

All help gratefully received.

Dynamic News Reel From XML - That Doesnt Scroll
Hi All,

Okay, I've created a flash (using MX) that I hard coded to have buttons (text w/ clear background) that scroll up to a point, stay there for 20 seconds or so and then scroll back down the way it came; then the next button scrolls up and so on ...

What I'd like to do is make this dynamic - meaning have a new button be created & placed into the animation dynamically from the text of a XML document (aka - not imaged based). That being said, though I've patched together a nice gallery using a similar technique, I'm really clueless on how to apply that to this. Creating/loading the XML I think I can handle. What I dont know is how to have the flash have the animated intro I want - then dynamically create all of the buttons (basically putting the new text on the clear background w/ the correct as link listed in the xml), have them go up then back down & move to the next. Then when all of the buttons are done, have the closing animation.

Does anyone know how to do what Im hoping to do? Know of any good tutorials on this (I've found things close but they arnt close enough)? Am I even being clear?

Thank you for any help you can toss me.

Help -> How Do I Create This Effect...
I'm trying to create a heartbeat/pulse effect for a flash movie.

You know... where you've got your (red) line going straight and then it does it's little thing (up, down, blah blah blah)and then goes straight again ... You all know what I'm talking about ...

Anyways .. when you're making line animations like that ... other than having the graphic of a line and sliding the entire thing across the screen ( and covering up the areas where you don't want it to be seen ) ... Is there another way to do this?

Not only for this particular thing.. but is there a way to create an animation like that easily? Before, when I've needed things like this, I've gone and went frame by frame making a line longer / turning it when I needed to... very long, boring process, and if I screw up without realizing it immediately, it's back to the start!

Anyways, if you understand what I'm trying to do... HELP PLEASE!??

How Would You Create This Effect?
Howdy,
I have this idea for an animation, however I am unsure how to go about it. Here are some images and descriptions of what I am trying to accomplish:

1. small bitmap squares fly in from right to left

2. next these small bitmap squares form a solid "wall" on the left hand side.

3. the small bitmap squares come together to form a picture. The squares are actually just small square sections of the image. Their are some small squares that are not part of the actually image, they are part of the wall, and therefore are vector art.

4. When the image is no longer needed, the small squares go back off to the right side

I am not sure if there is a way to do this in actionscript, to cut a bitmap into squares and have the squares move at slightly different speeds to then come together to form an image.

I could do this manually, but it would take forever... especially if I tried to do multiple images.

So if anyone could tell me how to or give me any pointers on how to accomplish this animation please do so.

Thank you kindly,
mperla

Create Effect
Hi all, newbie here.
just got started using this flash marlaky (suppose had to get around to it sooner or later). Been at it for, hmm....2 days.....and already STUCK. Got a bit of an understanding using frames, motion tween, etc. Currently I am following one of the Tutorials on this site ''Fantastic text effect without writing any ActionScript'' (http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Te...1029/index.php got to Stage 2, and the instructions are

- Step 2--Choose text effect

- Right click the Flash Kit text, choose "Create Effect..."

Is it just me or am I doing something wrong here, because i right click the text on the stage - get the menu up, but nowhere in the menu is Create Effect. Is this because a) I am stupid and doing the obvisous wrong thing b) missing something c) using the wrong application. ( I have Macromedia flash MX)

I have some idea on web development, after completing 2yr HND web management course. Started pretty late - spent the last year finding my way around PhotoShop7, Dreamweaver, ASP and web application dev (with precursor HTML - Javascript and Java Applet re-use only)

Sorry for the long introduction, but if anyone has completed this tutorial or know where I am going wrong with the -'Right Click text, and select Create Effect', would be grateful of the info.
