Creating a flash effect

Any idea on how to create a good looking flash effect. I have tried flashing a white triangle over the whole screen with a quick disolve but I have difficulty getting a realistic, punchy flash.

Why not just cut on a big white rectangle? Another way is to keyframe the Light Rays filter...

Creating a water Effect using AS3

Hi There
I have created a water effect in Adobe Flash using AS2,
however I now wish to create a flash application with the same
effect but using AS3.
Please see the attached code I have used to create the water
effect using AS2.
I am looking for somebody to help me change this to work in
Action Script 3. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You are maybe talking about the cursor tooltips? The
one when you pause over a link a little box pops up
with the link or name of the link? Maybe?
If so, iweb can't do this. It make the default
tooltips the name of the link. You can edit it to
whatever you want by changing the "alt" tag in the
html.

How to create a flash automatization script?

Here's the situation. I have a font support library, however for each font I have to manually create a new swf file, such as Tahoma_14_bold.swf - which is a lot of work.
I need to create a Flash automatization script (extension or command, NOT AS3 code) that automatically opens up a file, changes the font of a pre-existing textfield on the stage to, for example, Tahoma Regular 10 with bitmap font setting, saves it as Tahoma_Regular_10.fla in a destination directory, compile, then change the font size to 11, save it as Tahoma_Regular_11.fla, compile and so on and so forth, up until all fonts are created.
The end result would be 30 or so swf and fla files for each possible variation of the font.
How would I go around doing this? Is this at all possible?

1. Efficiency:
Application has a fontStyle manager. The application never (outside of debugging purposes) creates textfields by itself. All textfields used to display text are created by a call to the fonts manager, like "fontsStyleManager.createFont("header1");"
As such, each fontStyle has an associated font SWF and other textField parameters. The website owner can specify which particular font SWFs are to be loaded at start, and all unused font SWFs are highlighted, to be deleted of the list.
2. Flash font embedding sucks
Flash embedding sucks. I've had whole projects refuse to compile and not even display any messages. I had fonts that changes sizes and font faces. I've had fonts not embed at all, even though I specified explicitly for them to be included. Embeding by code and at runtime is cleaner, and it works
3. Neccesity
Embedding fonts from Flex embeds all European characters including German, Greek, Norwegian and so on.. except Polish. In here I can specify my own precise character set using the flash IDE.
4. Fonts in Flash are complicated
Normal, vector fonts are embedded easy. Size doesn't matter, as the font can clearly scale to any size and remain nicely anti-aliased. Embeding a Bold style doesn't mean yhou embed a Regular. Bitmap fonts are embeded by font size, that is, embeding a 14px bitmap won't make it possible to use a 16px. In addition, embedding a Bold doesn't embed a Regular bitmap font. What's interesting is that you can take a 12px embed font and set the TextFormat to, say, 22px, and get a very interesting-looking pixel effect, as the font gets scaled up.
5. Flexibility - the ability to see a completely different set of fonts in your project without having to recompile - priceless.

Create a similar effect like this one

I need to create a similar effect as in this link I provided.
Basically want
movement, a light flash or a little spark every once in a
while. Maybe
someone can point me to a similar tutorial or something. My
thought is to
have a subtle effect in the background of my site to give it
a little flare.
http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/14237.html

I would not waste time using AI 3D tools to accomplish this effect. It is 1 point perspective. Start with your front text, establish a horizon line and vanishing point, scale and duplicate the text using the vanishing point as your center of scaling, then connect the points to create the "extruded effect" between the to sets of text. You can outline the text to accomplish this.
For the reflected text, as John suggested, duplicate your text and distort it. Read about "Envelope Distortion" meshes. These will keep your distorted text fully editable, if that is a concern.

Achieving a Camera Flash effect in FCE HD?

Hello.
I am trying to achieve a camera flash effect in FCE HD, but I don't think there is any effect that will do this. Does anybody have any ideas of how I can go about creating my own?
Basically I have a scene where there is a group of people in the film, and I want to add sounds like a camera shutter going off, and add a corresponding number of flashes to illuminate the group for a few seconds.
Any ideas? I am sure there was an effect like this for iMovie, but I can't find any reference to that either...

I'd like to add to what Tom wrote...I find that two frames is just about right to produce the flash effect.
As for the sound, start looking on the many sound effects websites out there. I'm sure you will find it and can download it for a reasonable fee. Or you can make it yourself by recording your own camera's shutter.

Object flashing effect

I have a simple object–a yellow circle, can be either an imported Omni Graffle drawn object or a circle drawn in Keynote '08–and I want it to build in with the appear effect and then flash repeatedly until I advance to the next slide. But I can't find such a flashing action anywhere in the Build: Action pane. How can I give my object a flashing effect?

What do you mean by 'flash'? If you want the circle to change colors, you could create another, identical circle, just of a different color, place it in the same place on the slide and just have the original one appear and disappear alternately with the new one. Not perfect, but it might work.

In Flex 3 how to Stop and Replay .swf animation created in Flash

Hi
I have an animation file that is created in Flash (I think
CS3). In Flex if I import it inside a SWFLoader or if I import it
as an Image. It plays once and stops. Then I can not replay it. I
also can not pause it when its playing.
I have tried few things based on help and code available in
the Web to of no help. I have tried to convert the swfLoader
instance to a movie clip like so to stop
var c:MovieClip = swfLoaderHeaddress1.content as MovieClip;
c.stop();
<mx:SWFLoader x="53" y="116" width="206" height="255.3"
visible="true"
source="assets/animations/curatorial/ZoomHeadress_2nd.swf"
id="swfLoaderHeaddress1"/>
It does not work.
I have not created the .swf animation, I am not sure how it
is done. I belive it may not be using any ActionScript as I know
the artist who created it does not know ActionScript. Does
something need to be done inside the Flash to support the stop and
play? Or is there a way to restart/replay stop a .swf animation in
Flex 3 no matter how (and whether or not its developed using
ActionScript) its developed in Flash?

One way is she has to add some AS code to the animation, or
you can do it yourself.
In swf there must be something like this:
var connReciever:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
connReciever.client = this;
connReciever.connect("fromFlexToSWF");
function myFunction(parameter:SomeClass):void {...}
And in Flex:
var connSender:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
connSender.send("fromFlexToSWF", "myFunction", [..args]);
The other way: in case with just play/stop there is a way to
resolve this by using that Flex Component Kit (or maybe "Flex Skin
Design Extension", i do not remember), it is something like she
just adding labels to animation frames then she exports it with
Flex Kit and then you can work with it like with an object with
"states".

Emailing Invite created in Flash doesn't work

I created a flash invite for a client and cannot get it to deliver correctly through email. I've tried everything that I have found here and it won't show up in some of the emails that I have tested. (mine is the only one that works). I then tried exporting the flash to a gif but the quality is really poor. Any way to correct that?? I can't believe that this so complicated. Is there a piece of code that I am missing? Can this even be done successfully? The last animated invite I did was in photoshop and was nearly as complicated as this one and didn't want to mess with it.
Help. Client is getting anxious, and if I have to rebuild in Photoshop I need to get started.

What I Learned...
It seems there is no simple way to do this. So this is what I did, I exported the swf as an animated gif. It wasn't great but it worked in "most" emails but not all. Because of the that we went with a traditional, "click here" to view your invitation email. We considered using constant contact or a similar program that would embed the gif, but the client didn't want to have to enter all the email addresses. I decided I didn't want to spent the time to rebuild or use the png files in Photoshop.
This isn't something I will be recommending to future projects. It's just to dicey making sure that it works in every email format.

Hi Sa'ad
Its been a little while since I used Web Analysis but I remember that there are issues if you have more than 1 dimension in rows or columns. What I cannot remember is whether it automatically shifts a dimension to the page or whether as you suggest it just doesn't display.
Pie charts can only display data from two dimensions (1 rows, 1 columns), you can filter using dimensions on pages. If that doesn't give you what you need then I'm afraid you need to stick to a different chart type.
Hope this helps

Is there any way I can work on a file created in Flash 9 in Flash 8?

Is there any way to open a flash file created in Flash 9.0
CS3 with Flash 8?
I have Flash 9 at work, but only Flash 8 at home, and I need
to work on this project today. I can't download the trial version
of 9 here either, because it doesn't seem to work on Windows 2000.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

cytherea007,
Go to work. Open the file in Flash 9. Select "File > Save
As..." from the
file menu and select the Flash 8 file format.
Flash 9 should work on Win2k.

Andrew

Saving Flash 7 SWF created in Flash 8

I understand from experience that viewing Flash 8 SWF files
on the Flash 7 Player results in text not showing up. The Flash 8
text is obviously superior, but unfortunately, a major contingent
of my viewers are too afraid, too naive, or their systems are too
messed up to upgrade their Flash Players from earlier versions.
Obviously, to solve the problem, I can save the SWF as Flash 7
backward compatible; however, I am more than disappointed with the
results of this solution. The main problems with this approach is
that the text looks week and the bitmap alignment is no longer
perfect when trying to intermingle my flash content with existing
background content.
Please someone help me with a better solution by providing me
with a list of parameters that need to be in place so that my Flash
7 files created in Flash 8 look more presentable.

> Peter, as for a list of parameters, I mean precisely

There seems to be come confusion here. It's not a matter of
'checking off'
options, rather of publish settings. In the 'Publish
Settings' dialogue,
under the 'Flash' tab, 'Version', select 'Flash Player 7'.
the important
thing is not to use any *features* that depend on Flash
Player 8 - these
include (but are not limited to!) filters, any of the new
text rendering
options (custom anti-alias), any of the new Classes (geom,
filters, display,
external) etc etc etc.

Again, you are a bit confused I think. Obviously they will be
different than
if published for FP8 - that wasn't my point. What I said was:

and bitmaps will
look

So, using Flash 8 to author but publishing for FP7 will look
the same as
using Flash MX2004 ('Flash 7') to create your content. You
are saying your
bitmaps shrink "compared to when exported normally in Flash
8" - I never
mentioned publishing for Flash 8.
> Hmmm, the exported Flash 7 text (generated in Flash 8)
looks weak even
when

Well yes, of course. You said it yourself - you have exported
for FP7 -
playing it in FP8 won;t magically make it look better! For
that, you would
have to *publish* for FP8.
