I need help with a project I'm working on.

I am trying to convert Kirupa's tutorial on snow to a sandstorm effect. I have been trying to no avail and I was wondering if anyone here thinks that it is even possible to do or if anyone has any tips. I appreciate any help you can offer in advance.

Sand Text Effect - MX
would this example of animated text be easy to adapt so the text effect becomes that of a sand timer - in that it would be grains of sand falling to build up the solid block of the letters??

Sand Equaliser
Hi,

I'm busy developing a site for a rock band and would like to create an equaliser for the music that will play while the site is loaded. This will not be an ordinary equaliser though. I'd like to create it looking at it from the top.

The equaliser will be made of sand around a speaker and the sand would bounce off the speaker with the beat, giving it the illusion of movement.

Only trick is, I have no idea how to do this. Very new to ActionScript.

Anyone ever done anything like this?

Thanks

AS2 - Wipe Sand Away On Mouseover :D
I know I am a new member but hopefully my question won't be overlooked because of this fact. Anyway, here goes. I have a flash intro, and it needs to look like the user is wiping away sand particles to reveal the logo and enter button. I have accomplished all of this. My only problem is that the brush is a solid circle. It needs to be like a rough photoshop brush. The brush is defined in actionscript so how do I get it to look like the like a rough photoshop brush.

What I want it to look like:

I've seen it elswhere, but don't know where...
Can't imagine what they are doing, but looks cool.

Refering specifically to the horizontal lines that stretch out from the image as it "scans" into regular resolution.

Any ideas or directions to source files?

At the moment i've got the house and sky/stars on the bottom layer. the body of santa is on the next layer. there is going to be a small movie clip animation right next to santa.

Mask Effect
Hi

I'm supposed to do the mask effect used on this site http://www.vanal.com/ihr/index.html.

It's not the animations of the introduction but the "pushing" the image to the sides resizing the mask effect what I'm looking for.

I tried to search various sites but it's difficult to find that.

If someone could point me some tutorials or even explain it in a simple way (if there is one).

Thanks in advance.

Mask Effect In Flash 6
(1) I made a layer named "text".
(2) I made another layer named "image" underneath the text layer.
(3) I imported an gif image in the image layer.
(4) I type a word in the text layer.
The word says "flash".
(5) I selected the text layer, and did right click.
and choose "mask".

then,
- It shows the mark of mask in left side of the text layer, and the image layer belongs to the text layer.
- The both layers is locked automatically.
- I can see the image of the image layer in the inside area of the word "flash". it's like a flashing effect.

My problem is I can see the flashing effect in the fla, but
I can't see the effect in the swf.
It shows all white.

It used to works in flash 5.(I can still make it with flash 5, but it doesn't work in flash 6.

Can you find out what is my problem?
I am expecting your help.

Question About The Mask Effect
I know these two methods for creating a "hole" effect in a layer that is above another one:

1. I select an area inside a shape that occupies the whole stage. Then I delete that area.
2. I create a shape on a mask layer and then I lock the mask layer and the masked layer. The area that is not transparent is the area that will be transparent when masked.

The effect in those two cases is the same: I create a hole where I can see the contents of the layer underneath.

Now, my question is: What is, then, the actual difference or advantage of masking a layer?

I know very little of the "principle" of using a mask (besides what I said above), therefore I thank anyone who can explain me this.

Mask-curtains Effect
hi there!
i really like this curtain-mask idea that is used on this great website www.massimodutti.com
i have begun to more or less try the same thing but cant seem to get it to look just right.Analyzing all the mask movements in this is abit tricky.
On the site they succeed in getting that liquid movement.Can anyone say that is this done with actionscript or animation?My guess is animation.
Should anyone know of any similar tutorials or open source fla's utilizing this technique please lets me know.
It needs to be animation as i have to be able to export jpg sequences for adobe premiere.Final format will be televsion.

cheers & respect!

Spotlight Mask Effect
I thought I had seen a tutorial on flashkit on how to create a spotlight effect, via masking. I searched and haven't quite found what I need. I would like to have a background image (GIF) appear to be darkened by about 50% - and a circular mask sort of creates a spotlight effect for the areas I wish to highlight at 100% opacity. The highlighted areas will be frame-by-frame animation...

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

How Would You Produce This Mask Effect?
Just looking for some guidance here...

I want to have two bitmaps on the stage, one grayscale, one 4C ( 4C on a seperate layer below the grayscale). The effect I want to produce is to have the user click and drag over the grey image to reveal the color image below...kind of like they were coloring the image. So I'm basically "painting" on a mask for the grayscale image to reveal the color one.

Any ideas on the best way to produce this?

Thanks, as always.

How Do You Make This Mask Effect?
i've seen this effect before so it can't be THAT hard...

http://www.imagomilano.com/index.asp?lingua=eng

click on any menu item or one of the news items or something. i want to duplicate the transition effect, which i gather is just some sort of mask that is scripted?

can someone tell me how to do this or show me a good tutorial or something? obviously i could manually create the 40 or 50 little masks it takes to cover the whole page area, but there has to be a more efficient way?

thanks
