Flash :: How To Create Emitting Flowers

Random Stars Emitting From A Point
Hi, I'm V new to coding and need a little guidance. I don't want the code written for me just an outline of what I need to do for the following:
I want to have a point on the stage where stars will emit from. The stars will have a bit of a wiggle!! and fade out after a set distance. Almost like a sparkler.
I think I need to create a mc of the star with an instance name then use attachmovie to place it on the screen at a set point from the library. I think I then need to create an onEnterFrame function which uses Math.round to create a point for the star to fly to.
If the star mc had a wiggly motion path and a tweened alpha then in my head this would cause the star to fly to the random point wiggling as it goes and fade out.
Then I need to repeatedly call this function. If I then place multiple instances of this mc on the stage, each instance should move in random directions.
So anyone who wants to give a brief outline for me to play with is a star!!

Flowers Moving
hi,

i'm trying to make my first flash website, but i'm quite new to actionscript...
i found this website and was thinking of putting those flowers onto mine aswell: click on "contact"

http://www.thanea.com/ars/

but i can't figure out what the actionscript should look like.
i've already searched for some actionscripts and found objects/movieclips that follow my mouse movement, but they never stick to the floor and when they change the direction the circle scales wrong...

is there anyone out there who could help me with this, please?
thank you very much.

Spiral Flowers
I am looking to draw some simple flower stem shapes (not the actual flower heads) in actionscript. I have been experimenting with various different methods of spirals and drawing lines but I am having difficulty putting it all together. Any help would be much appreciated.

The main difficulty I am having is that I want the flower stems to draw over a set amount of time (i.e dependent on a variable for time.) and develop new "branches" as if they were growing. I also want the number of branches, length, thickness, curvyness etc to be controlled by variables which will allow me to replicate but vary the stems.

I have included a jpeg of a couple of examples of what I am after.

Again any help or direction on this would be greatly appreciated. I am a graphic designer and not a great actionscripter!!!

Swaying Flowers

Many thanks,

Create, Delete, Create Event Handlers
Hi,

At the moment I create an onEnterFrame function to ease a movie clip into view. I then delete it. I want to be able to recreate a similar onEnterFrame function later to swoosh the movie clip out of view. At the moment weird things happen when I try and do the second onEnterFrame. Am I doing something illegal here?
I know I could put this all in the original onEnterFrame, but I don't wanna be wasting processor time doing an if statement every frame to work out if it's time to swoosh out the movieclip. Or should I not worry because that's negligible cpu time?

Create A
Any help with this would be very, very appreciated.

I'm looking to create a flash animation that would allow the user to "scratch off" a section of the animation, revealing things underneath. I've yet to figure out a way to allow user input to change the alpha value or visibility of a part of a clip, so I figure the only way to allow the user to scratch something off is to have each pixel be its own clip (with its own alhpa value and visibility).

You can see the obvious problem here; running a duplicateMovieClip command 600 times takes forever and tends to crash Flash.

I've seen this done in Director, but I figure that's just one of those Director features that Flash lacks.

Any help at all -- plans of attack, etc. -- would be much help.

Thanks,
Dan

Trying To Create A Pop Up
Hello,
Man, you guys are the best for us n00bs.

Anyway, I am trying to create a pop up window which is seemless. what do i mean by that? I mean, that it has no "title" bar at the top, just a boarder.

I don't have an example, unfortunately.

Anyway, are there additions to java code that would creat the window like that?

Again, thank you for your help.

Create Xml?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I recently created a quiz that pulls its questions and answers from xml files.

Now I am hoping to create a second flash application that allows the user to create the xml files. I have been able to set up a user interface that allows the user to type their questions and answer into various text boxes. When they are finished they press a button and using the createElement, and appendChild codes the xml is created.

I am having a problem with the next step. How do I "save" the xml the user has created to an outside file that can latter be picked up by the Quiz. (The whole thing will be installed on the user's hard drive from a CD).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How To Create XML On The Fly With PHP ?
Hi,

I am creating a directory browser ,Actually my flash reads the directory lists from the XML file called "tree_source.xml". this xml file created by a php file . Now i want modify the php file in such a way that flash directly reads the directory structure from the php file inorder to speed up the browsing.

This is my flash script.....

// load and assign data source
myTreeDataProvider = new XML();

// ignore whitespace in XML (important)
myTreeDataProvider.ignoreWhite = true;

// load external XML file
myTreeDataProvider.load("tree_source.xml");

// onLoad handler for XML data
myTreeDataProvider.onLoad = function()
{
myTree.dataProvider = myTreeDataProvider;
}

// set up tree listener
myTreeListener = new Object();

This is the PHP Script to create XML

$photodir = "/albumshan";
$path = getcwd().$photodir;

$fp=fopen("tree_source.xml","w");
fwrite($fp,"<root>");

structure($path,$fp,$path);

fwrite($fp,"</root>");
fclose($fp);

// Function
function structure($rootdirpath,$fp,$dir)
{
unset($root);
if($dp = @opendir($rootdirpath))
{
for($i=0;($file=readdir($dp))!==false;$i++)
{
if (is_dir($rootdirpath."/".$file) && $file != "." && $file != "..")
{
fwrite($fp,"<node label="".$file."">");
structure($rootdirpath."/".$file,$fp,$dir);
fwrite($fp,"</node>
");
}

}
}

[CS3] Is There A Better Way To Create This FLV?
I'm having some issues with my project. Here is what I have done so far.

I have made a presentation in flash CS3.
I plan on exporting the movie to a .mov
Then converting the .mov into an FLV (using sorenson squeeze) so that the file size is much smaller and I can use the FLV player controls to stream the movie online.

Now in the background I would like to use a looping .mov video however the video is very large. So I figured I would use quicktime to export a bitmap sequence (PNG's) and import that way. However when I do this I get the error:

"Error creating flash movie. There was not enough memory available"

My system is very powerful (Dual core with 4 GB's of RAM)

Now I am kind of stuck. I want the movie to stream (like FLV's on youtube) and I figured there's no better way of doing this all then making everything in flash, exporting to .mov and then converting to FLV via sorenson squeeze.

Any suggestions on a better way? Should I just import the video rather then a bitmap sequence. (there is 451 images at 720 x 480).

Thanks for any input!
