360 Degree Animation Effect in flash

Hi everyone,
I have to create a 360 degree animation effect on 2d image in flash. Basicaly its a product image and has to be animated in 360 degree. Presently I am working on Flash CS4 and it has 3d tool, but i was unable to make it. Now the thing is coming in my mind that, Is this the right software to create such effect, i m worried . Pls help me out from this problem.

Hello
I just watched the youtube 360 degree animation in flash and it is very nice. However i do have a question, While this make the animation, it only does the switching between a picture and another picture. There is no transition between them or any blend.
Is there a way to have a blend added to this so that the picture more look like a real 360 panoramic view ?
I love the idea of the mouse controling the view and i know i can place the picture back to back and build them so it is one huuuuuge picture, however in that case it will be nearly impossible to put them all in 1 frame..
I can easely create the 360 panoramique picture in photoshop, but then it is in flash thati have the probleme. I want to apply the mouse control idea. but because the result will be a lot larger than the stage, i don't know how to deal with that...
Erm.. i'm not sure i am clear :S
Any clue?

360 Degree 3D Rotation

I'm new to Flash and I'm having trouble rotating my mc 360 degrees using the 3D Rotation Tool. I can rotate it 180 degrees, right side coming forward, but when I attempt to rotate it back to its original position, it doesn't continue the rotation in the same direction (right side coming forward). So instead of apearing to rotate completely, it looks like it rotates half way, stops, and rotates back (left side comes forwards).
Probably an easy solution, but as I said, I'm new.
Thanks in advance.

Animation apps always choose the fastest way from a->b. You might think starting at 0, setting a keyframe at 180, then another at 0 would mean 'do a full rotation'. However the computer knows going from 180 in reverse back to 0 is faster.
This is the most common rotation issue in any animation app. You need to make sure the 2 points you want to change between are actually the best route from a->b.
For instance if you start at 0, keyframe up to 182, then keyframe to 0, it should rotate properly. 182 wrapping past 360 to 0 is faster than going from 182 in reverse back to 0.
It's easier just to set 3 keyframes usually. 0-120, 120-240, 240-360. That assures you the distance between each keyframe will go in the expected direction (shortest from a->b).

Animation effects not playing correctly in captivate 6 (playing last frame first?)

Hi there,
Currently in captivate 6 I have a problem where when an item is coming in using an animation effect the image is flashing up very breifly, dissapearing then playing the animation as it should. it is almost as if it is playing the last split second first then looping round. This only applies to some of the items and not all of them, I have tried redoing them only for the same problem to occur. There is only 1 entrance effect playing on each item and there are 4 items on screen, the second and third images are the ones causing problems although the text and fitst image is fine. I have tried toggling sync with project. This also occurs both in publish and in preview
Any other ideas?

Hi Vish,
All of the items in question are set to display for the rest of the slide and the effect lasts less then a second where each item is on screen for 10+ seconds so there is plenty of the for the entrance effect to play out.
I have noticed however if I set all of the items with effects to start on the start of the slide the effect plays correctly but that means it isnt synced to the voiceover.

360 degree panorama spin in Edge Animate (was: 360 degree panorama )

I am trying to create 360 degree panorama. I've got an existing panoramic image made in photoshop which I imported into edge animate.
I need the image move continuously and start over at the beginning seamlessly when the animation gets to the end of the image.
I tried setting action and label to start playing the animation from the beginning but it just jumps back to the beginning and start playing. I need to make the transition between the end and the beginning of the image seamless. Hope you understand what I mean.
Please help.

You can use the following simple setup to generate a continuous rotating panorama
FYI: I have used your image for creating the demo
Dropbox - Panorama.zip
Basically,
There is a symbol with overflow set to hidden
There are two instances of the same image .. with name inst1, inst2
inst1 tweens background position from 0- T secs
inst1 tweens 'X' value from T -> T+N secs ( Where N is the overlap time)
inst2 tweens 'X' value from T -> T+N secs
At T+N time, there is a tirgger which restarts the animation

360 degree panorama

Hello,
I have a flash project that I can pan back and forth with my mouseover. How can I change the code to loop back seamlessly to the other end creating a 360 degree turn? Also is there a way i can use my wheel to zoom into a portion of the stage? I'm using AS2 for this.
Here is the code that I am using;
this.onMouseMove = function() {
constrainedMove(bg_mc, 4, 1);
function constrainedMove(target:MovieClip, speed:Number, dir:Number) {
var mousePercent:Number = _xmouse/Stage.width;
var mSpeed:Number;
if (dir == 2) {
mSpeed = 1-mousePercent;
} else {
mSpeed = mousePercent;
target.destX = Math.round(-((target._width-Stage.width)*mSpeed));
target.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (target._x == target.destX) {
delete target.onEnterFrame;
} else {
target._x += Math.ceil((target.destX-target._x)*(speed/100));
Thank you so much for your help,
Bernie

BW animation effect

hi, experts
my customer wants to see BW chart with animation effect, for example, when displaying a line chart, the line starts from the start point and extend to the end point.
another effect is that: display a map(maybe a contry or a provice), when the mouse move over it, the coordinate and the keyfigure(maybe the sales amount in the province) is displayed
how to get these animation effect? should i install addtional components?

Hi,
Thorugh BEX Web Application Desinger we can do all these effects. In WAD please check all the properties to get animation effect for the charts. Check all the properties for the CHART ITEM in WAD.
These are only possible thru BI 7.0.
Using Maps:
Maps has to be loaded into your system. to get these maps we need to order to SAP AG. They can only provide these types of maps or other way is to get through the ARCVIEW Software where you can generate your own Maps.
Numerous characteristics of the SAP BI possess geographic meaning, for example,
customer, sales region, country. The geographic information, as well as the
associated relevant characteristic values, can be evaluated in the BEx Map. The
BEx Map is the geographical information system (GIS) of SAP BI. It is integrated
into the Business Explorer.
Maps can be used to visualize economic connections and distributions. You can
clearly represent, for example, specific characteristic numbers as hues, circle or
bar charts for a country, a region or a city. You can also alter the layout of a map
by either zooming in or out around detailed or region-specific information. In this
way the marketing study of a certain product becomes related to a certain region
or a country. Market opportunities or dangers can be recognized in one view.
In addition to using tables or diagrams to visualize information, you can represent
geographically relevant information on a map using BEx Map.
Within the BEx Map, you can use different ways to visualize information:
You can assign different colors to certain areas of maps.
You can add diagrams (bar charts and/or pie charts).
You can display location information (for example, customer addresses) in
the form of points, triangles, squares or crosses on the map.
You can use any query that contains geo-relevant characteristics for mapping.
Maps of different degrees of detail can be layered on top of each other as indicated
by different levels of characteristic values.
For example, if a characteristic number in a query is used on the country, region
and postal code levels, three layers in the BEx Map can be indicated. The
respective characteristic for the geographical analysis must be activated.
A higher level covers an underlying level if it has a larger, opaque surface over
the map level below it.
Connections (or correlations) between data provide the basis for planning and
actions because they are more easily recognizable when visualized on a map.
Figure 87: Geo-characteristic Types
To use an InfoObject in BEx Map, you must first define it as a geo-characteristic.
This is done in the InfoObject maintenance of the Administrator Workbench.
In the listing of the InfoObjects, select the desired InfoObject and open the
InfoObject in maintenance mode. On the Business Explorer tab, indicate the
desired type of geo-characteristic in the Geographical Type field.
Activate the InfoObject to save the assignment.
Shape files make the static geo-characteristics available on the map.
The Structure of the Shape Files
The Shape files consist of three differently formatted files:
*.shp Geo-data that forms the map
*.shx Geo-index to reduce map access time
*.dbf Attributes for the geo-element, such as country or region
Static and dynamic geo-characteristics describe data with geographic relevance
(for example, characteristics such as customer, sales region, country). This
geo-relevant data is represented and evaluated by maps.
There are four different types of geo-characteristics: static, dynamic, dynamic
with values as attributes, and static with geo-characteristics.
Static geo-characteristics
Characteristics that do not change over a long period of time (for
example, country, state)
Dynamic geo-characteristics
Characteristics that are subject to change (for example, customer, sales
office)
Dynamic geo-characteristic with values as attributes
Characteristics that are subject to change and whose geo-coordinates are
derived from a referenced static geo-characteristic with geo-attributes
(for example, customers referenced with the geo-characteristic postal
code).
Static geo-characteristic with geo-attributes
Static geo-characteristics are enhanced with geo-coordinates to
determine geographic location; used with dynamic geo-characteristics
that have values as attributes (for example, postal code).
Static geo-characteristic
A static geo-characteristic has geographic coordinates that do not often
change and describe a surface (polygon). Country or region are examples of
static geo-characteristics. Attributes of static geo-characteristics are defined
by the geometry of surfaces or polygons whose data are stored in shape files.
Dynamic geo-characteristic
A dynamic geo-characteristic has geographic coordinates that change
more frequently and describe a place (location information). Customer or
workplace are examples of dynamic geo-characteristics because they are
settled at a geographic point, which can be described by an address. The
address data of these characteristics is subject to frequent change. SAP BW
adds a set of standard attributes to this geo-characteristic. The geographic
coordinates of the appropriate object are stored for each line in the master
data table. A geographic coordinate includes the following geo-attributes:
Linking Data to a Map:
Static geo-characteristics are connected to shape file map coordinates using the
SAPBWKEY.
When implementing a query for this geo-characteristic, BEx Map transfers the
data for every area on the map.
To be able to maintain the SAPBWKEY, you have to load the three files for the
shape file to your local hard disk. However, you can maintain the SAPBWKEY in
the dbf file only. While it is possible to maintain the SAPBWKEY in Microsoft
Excel or in ArcView, SAP recommends that you use Excel for small amounts.

Animated logo -- and Flash export?

Hi Folks -
So, I'm working on animating this logo:
http://giantmecha.com/uploadedimages/helpme.thumbnail_23554.png
Seems simple, but I can't figure how to go about smoothly animating it. Behaviors? Keyframes? Help. =/
Also, I'm hoping to use it for the web. So, my secondary question is: if I import the Motion file into After Effects, can I then simply export the animation as Flash?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Evan

Looks like a simple animation. If Flash is your target, I would do the whole thing in Flash using masks. You can take a Illustrator file and just mask and animate the layers.
When you do this in Flash I think that you will find that your file size will be much smaller than producing a .flv or .mov file. Also your logo seems like it is all vector based, thus scalable.
I wouldn't even think about bringing this into After Effects from Motion. No need to, too many steps than what is needed.
You can however turn a Motion file that has been imported into After Effects in to a .swf file. There are limits, as somethings will not be exported a vector art. See Adobe website for infor. They have tutorial videos on the subject.
Do you have Flash? With the new CS3, you can import your Illustrator/ Photoshop layers into Flash layers which you can then animate.

Typewriting tex animation effect / parametric obect rotation effect ?

Dear ID users,
I have been using Keynotes to build up grafic / text animation for clients, but now I want to turn to InDesign to benefit from the text stylesheets, page models and updatable imported images, precious features missing in Keynotes.
Now I have a problem finding Keynotes features missing in inDesign, such as mainly:
Typewriting effect on text
Parametric rotation (indesing allows only 90/180º)
Besides, I do not know how to
Integrate a video animation on a page as an object
Register a voice over synchronised with the animation
I guess some of those ressources can be found under Flash, but I don't know where to fetch them. Is there any Adobe Library for common animation effects?
Many thanks,
Julian

Rotating 360 degree

Hi,
     I am trying to implement an application which make the effect of 360 degree rotation. In order to make this effect, i have 72 images of each product which had taken at each 5 degree of the product. The priniciple behind slide show application is using to make this effect. The images are loading sequentially. It works well. But after one full rotation, i am making a reset for 2 variables which handles the index position of current and previous images. I think because of this, a small jerk is feeling after one full rotation. Is there any way to avoid this.
The other problem is that if i make scaling or (x,y) coordinate changing, after one full rotation, a jerk is feeling continously. If i do not make any changes it will work well. Can anybody help me to solve this.
Regards,
      Sreelash

Hi, I am attaching the code with this thread. The tool is almost working condition. The problem is I can't align or scale the images. If I make any changes, the rotation will not be smooth. Can you let me know why it's being like this? The rotating tool I have implemented is according to the tool I downloaded from Yofla.com. I am attaching both the fla with this mail.

Insert animated gif or flash files (.swf) in Form?

How can i insert animated gif or flash files (.swf) or another type of animated files in Form?

If you are web deployed you can put an animated gif as the image to an iconic button.
Image items cannot display animated gifs.
Anything else you can do through a JavaBean if you need to.

Quality problem with animated gif through flash

i got a problem with making animated gif through flash.
on html/swf publication it looks clear.
but the weird thing is through gif publication, it wouldn't show. and exporting it as a movie as gif cause visual defect when put up on web.
it looks better when you open it in a browser.
this is how it looks for a profile gif in thumbnail mode. blocky and unclear.
how do you get it to look good both in thumbnail mode and in browser mode. i seen other that have a clear gif in thumbnail mode. are my setting wrong for flash? or should i just do gif in photshop instead. i heard rumors flash don't do gif very well.

Change your gif export setting under publish...
          Dimensions         : Match movie
          Playback             : Animated
                                    : Loop continuously

Are there any tutorials on making animated gifs in flash, from a video?

I have an avi video file that i'd like to make into an animated gif in flash. How do I go about doing this? I know there is an option in photoshop where you can import the video frames onto layers. Is there something similar in flash?

[http://wetpixel.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t16884.html]
This might provide a bit of insight.

I'm doing a scan around a line by sampling data 360 degrees for every value of z(z is the position on the line). So, that mean I have a double for-loop where I collect the data. The problem comes when I try to plot the data. How should I do?

Jonas,
I think what you want is a 3D plot of a cylinder. I have attached an example using a parametric 3D plot.
You will probably want to duplicate the points for the first theta value to close the cylinder. I'm not sure what properties of the graph can be manipulated to make it easier to see.

Browse animation effects causing Bridge to freeze

Every time I select browse effects from the animation menu, Adobe Bridge launches (as expected).
When I navigate to the "Text/Blurs" folder and open it, Bridge freezes.
I know I can add an effect to my text without resorting to Bridge, but I'm following
Adobe's Classroom in a box and selecting this method to preview an effect is
causing Bridge to freeze.

Make sure your AE and your Bridge are up to date. There was a problem in earlier builds. Also, the Animation Effects previews in Bridge are resource intensive little buggers. Make sure that you have allocated an even number of MB of ram to other apps and you're not starving your system. If you only have 8 GB give 4 to other apps and 4 to AE, if you have 16 then you can give 4 to others and 12 to AE.
