Effects thanks to Actionscript ?

Hi,
I would like to know how i could do the following effects
under Flash
CS3 and actionscript :
- dislocation
- desagregation (depixelization)
- create "text bubble" (like for a demo program where it is
told to user
what to do...like "click to the button")
- beam
- scanning (like a vertical bar is passing horizontally on my
stage and
behiond it is displaying a new picture/symbol)
thanks a lot for all help.

1. check the flash bitmapdata class.
2. check the flash bitmapdata class.
3. check the textfield class.
4. check the bitmapdata class or you could use dynamic
masking.
only 3. is an easy undertaking.

When i use IE9, i go to my emails and any pics in the mail open with the mail but with FF i have to download them is there a way to make the pics open in the mail, i set yahoo to load images automatically in the options menu this has had no effect, thanks

some pictures(jpeg or gif) come as part of email if i use IE9 these images open as part of the mail, but with firefox i have to download them separately and then they don't appear in email. i have been in the options menu and allowed yahoo.com to automatically load images but this has had no effect, thanks

Sounds like you did this on the fly.
MM is supposed to open the Marker Panel Dialogue
M just sets a marker
Not sure if either are intended for on the fly during playback .
There is also a Marker Icon on the Source Window Pane >>

Has anyone seen this photo effect before and if so do you know the process involved?

I have seen this photo effect before and was wondering if anyone on the forum has any knowledge of how it produced in Photoshop. I am sure Poster Edges has something to do with it but I can not seem to replicate the effect.

Thanks I will check.... only reference I have found is under LED Effect but no Tuts, Thanks again I will let you know if I find anything. Really a cool visual effect.

Motion tween using actionscript

I'm pretty sure there has to be a way to do this. I want an
object to move to certain coordinates when certain objects are
moused over. Any help?

Bryan,

help,

's okay. :)

Well ... okay, I looked at your code. Honestly, bro, it's a
complete
hodge-podge of new and old style coding. I know it's because
you're on
unfamiliar territory, and I'm not slammin' ya ... but really
-- really,
really, really -- your life will be soooo much easier if you
step back and
look at the big picture. Sooner or later, this will all gel
for you, and it
suddenly becomes very easy.
Forget that tellTarget() business. That's old; like, Flash 3
old. In
fact, it was deprecated in Flash 5. If you want to path to an
object, you
use its instance name. Of course, first, that means you need
to give your
relevant assets instance names. You've already done with with
the revolving
"police" lights -- but make sure you're consistent. Name them
light1,
light2, light3, and so on (yours were a bit dissheveled).
An instance name is just a "handle" that lets ActionScript
"talk" to a
given object. That light exists as a single movie clip symbol
in your
Library, but you want to talk to each one individually, so
each one gets its
own instance name.
Do the same thing with your "net" instance (the tab/button
movie clips).
Rather than this ...
tellTarget(this._parent.light4) {
gotoandplay(this._currentframe+70);
... just refer to objects by instance name.
light1.gotoAndPlay();
Much cleaner code. Now, this isn't relevant in your case,
but if that
"light" symbol had another movie clip inside it, you could
give *that*
symbol an instance name, too. For example, you might name the
bulb "bulb".
If you needed to instruct that bulb movie clip, you could
react it inside
each instance of light like this ...
light1.bulb.gotoAndPlay();
light2.bulb.gotoAndPlay();
// etc.
It's just like folders and subfolders on your hard drive.
Next, you've GOT to make sure you use the correct case.
gotoandplay
doesn't exist in ActionScript, but gotoAndPlay does.
Thankfully, the
ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference is only a click away, and
besides,
script code changes color to indicate when you've spelled
something
correctly.
Next, while it's perfectly legal to use the on() event
handler, it's
also pretty old. It was deprecated as of Flash MX (aka Flash
6), so use the
approach I showed you in previous posts. Just use the clip's
instance name
and assign a function to its event.
You want those instances of "net" to respond to mouse
events. I gave
each movie clip an instance name ... mcHome, mcCalendar,
mcRecord, and so
on.
This allows you to neatly put all your code into frame 1 of
the main
timeline. No more hunting and pecking, having to click on
each movie clip
separately, etc.
mcHome.onRollOver = function() {
// instructions here
That also means you don't have to keep repeating the import
statements
for each button. It's just much cleaner and more efficient.
Give yourself
a Scripts layer dedicated to scripts only, and put all your
code there.
Just remove all the on() stuff.
Now here's the part that should make a halogen bulb go BOOM
in your
head. I'll repeat what you were asking:
> I got the movement working but the thing i need now is
for
> the puck to stay under the button when i mouse off.
Okay. That means you want the puck not to start from its
original
position every time. (In your Tween instantiation, you were
always starting
from 66.3 -- which of course means that's where the puck will
start from
every time.) So, how are you going to know where the puck is?
Well, the puck is a movie clip -- so look up the MovieClip
class. The
MovieClip class lists a bunch of properties, which refer to
characteristics
of the object at hand. In other words, the MovieClip class
TELLS YOU what
properties are available to any movie clip out there --
because classes
define objects, and this is a movie clip object.
So if you need to know where the puck is horizontally, look
up its
MovieClip._x property. Badda bing.
mcHome.onRollOver = function() {
new Tween(puck, "_x", Elastic.easeOut, puck._x, 58, .5,
true);
light1.gotoAndPlay(2);
That puts the current _x value of the puck instance as the
fourth
parameter of that Tween constructor. Make sense? Here's
working code for
your Flash banner ...
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
mcHome.onRollOver = function() {
new Tween(puck, "_x", Elastic.easeOut, puck._x, 58, .5,
true);
light1.gotoAndPlay(2);
mcHome.onRollOut = function() {
light1.gotoAndPlay(this._currentframe + 70);
mcHome.onRelease = function() {
getURL("site.php?page=press&links=home");
mcCalendar.onRollOver = function() {
new Tween(puck, "_x", Elastic.easeOut, puck._x, 215, .5,
true);
light2.gotoAndPlay(2);
mcCalendar.onRollOut = function() {
light2.gotoAndPlay(this._currentframe + 70);
mcCalendar.onRelease = function() {
getURL("site.php?page=press&links=home");
mcRecord.onRollOver = function() {
new Tween(puck, "_x", Elastic.easeOut, puck._x, 373, .5,
true);
light3.gotoAndPlay(2);
mcRecord.onRollOut = function() {
light3.gotoAndPlay(this._currentframe + 70);
mcRecord.onRelease = function() {
getURL("site.php?page=press&links=home");
mcTitans.onRollOver = function() {
new Tween(puck, "_x", Elastic.easeOut, puck._x, 533, .5,
true);
light4.gotoAndPlay(2);
mcTitans.onRollOut = function() {
light4.gotoAndPlay(this._currentframe + 70);
mcTitans.onRelease = function() {
getURL("site.php?page=press&links=home");
mcPressBox.onRollOver = function() {
new Tween(puck, "_x", Elastic.easeOut, puck._x, 688, .5,
true);
light5.gotoAndPlay(2);
mcPressBox.onRollOut = function() {
light5.gotoAndPlay(this._currentframe + 70);
mcPressBox.onRelease = function() {
getURL("site.php?page=press&links=home");
... keeping in mind, of course, that each instance of the
"net" movie clip
needs the relevant instance name, and that each instance of
the "light"
movie clip should be named as shown from left to right. NO
CODE exists as
attached to any movie clips. It's all in frame 1 of a new
layer named,
arbitrarily, scripts. The correct case is in use --
Elastic.easeOut, rather
than elastic.easeOut (or easeIn, whatever you prefer). And
make sure to
correc the getURL() parameter as needed.

Lunar effect in photoshop?

hello,
could you tell me how can i recreate similar effect to this on the photo. (its taken from nasa,and i would like to apply to some landscapes that effect)
Thank you
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/199/nasapic.jpg/

The image is originally in color (as also evident in the Layers Panels in the screenshots).
Topmost is Black & White Layer that takes care of that.
Other than that the second montage was an arrangement of copies of a faked blank print with Layer Styles to fake some dimensionality.
Copies of the original image converted to a Smart Object are clipping masked to those and a (slightly different) Curves Adjustment Layer added.
As for the benefits of using a Smart Object in this case: one can easily edit the multiple instanced or switch in a different image.

After effects cs6 trial install errors

Hello,
I am trying to install the trial version of After effects cs6. I installed the entire cs6 master suite and everything worked except after effects. I tried again from the master suite and then with a separate after effects only installer(all from adobe's site) always getting the same results
here is the error summary:
I am trying to install on a new macbook retina, I had installed the CC trial but it has run out. maybe I need to uninstall Creative cloud, but all the other programs installed with no problems so i am not sure why its just after effects.

Thanks so much for your help, but i am encountering some issues with the log. In the link you posted I was directed to look for the log in library>logs>adobe>installers and that the file would consist of the product name/install date and end in .log.gz
However I can't find and file that meets this description or even an installers folder inside the adobe folder
^this is all that is in the adobe folder, and both these folders are empty.
There is another folder called adobe downloads which contains these files
which still don't really fit the description provided.
am i doing something wrong? or should i look somewhere else?
thanks again

Trying to copy effect into anther project

Sorry for the vague info. I created a movie and I am trying
to add a text effect to the movie. The text effect contains an
Actionscript. How do I transfer the effect to my movie in progress,
short of rewriting the script.
Merge two seperate files into one, or transfer effects from
one file into another is the basic gist of what I am trying to do.
TIA,
mr

You could "Copy Frames" and "Paste Frames". While doing it
all the clips that
are used on these frames and clips within these clips will
automatically be
transfered. Along the action script attached to frames.

Hi Moccamaximum,
My bad, it is the first time I post some question about coding online, so I don't really know what kind of information should I provide beside the code and what I had met.
1. The "Photobooth program" I mentioned actually is use the Flash actionscript 3 to create the Flash program with photo shooting and frame choosing function, but not any existing program.
2. Can be consider a plugin as after I finish the Flash and PHP part, I will import it into HTML.
3. There's not any error in Flash, but the problem is, after I used the Flash to take the photo with webcam, it cannot upload into the folder which in the online server with PHP.
4. This is the first time I work with PHP, but I do a lot of research online and these are the main references I follow with:
     http://tutorialzine.com/2011/04/jquery-webcam-photobooth/
     http://vamapaull.com/photo-booth-flash-webcam-image-capture/
     http://mattcrouch.net/blog/2011/03/making-a-flash-webcam-photobooth/
5. Yap, I used an online server to tested.
6. This one should be a basic php function, but I will double check about that.
Thank you

Any ideas how to achieve this effect?

Hi there - I'm wanting to make some one layer stencils, and would love to replicate this effect, does anyone know a, if it has a name, and b how you'd go about creating it in photoshop (I'm fine to create the duotone high contrast image, just want the wavey line effect)Thanks for taking the time out peeps, fingers crossed D

Thanx for the response, I'll give both of those a try when Im back home laters, the 2nd idea sounds more likely to produce those sort of lines, its an effect I've seen quite often, so was surprised not to see more about it online (which is why I was asking if the technique had a name).
Its kind of a more messed up version of the lined (which sort of tapers off at each end) effect you get when zoomed in on some TV's (cept in this case is vertical rather than horizontal . . .

Stretch effect

Hi
I've created some text on a layer, converted to movie clip and then tweened it in from the left. At the end I added a keyframe and then
created another layer using the same text for a second effect after the slide in from left has ended. I added this at the end of the slide in animation
I converted the text to a movie clip, double clicked to bring up the sub time line ( I want the effect to loop)
I now cannot see how to gain the effect I want.
Simply if I have the text
ABCB
I want the text to stretch into A B C D so that the letters stretch in both the x and y axis with the spaces increasing as well. Imagine the type on a balloon and then stretch the balloon.
Can anyone tell me how to get this effect
thanks
Ian

Just create a three-keyframed (not 3 framed) timeline tween using the movieclip of the text where you stretch the instance in the middle keyframe to whatever proportions you intend, just like it would happen on a balloon. At the last frame of it you tell it to go to the second frame of it.
If you want the spaces between to change more than they would stretching a balloon, then you will need to animate each letter individually.

Fog effect in front of static image?

hello community,
i'm a beginner concerining Adobe After effects. I just spent about 3 hours searching the web how to create a neboulus effect in front of a static image(made with fotoshop) the fog machine preset looks good but (as far as i know) you can't put an image behind it. Further i want the fog to dissapear after 10 seconds. Is there a simple possibility without rendering the z-axis and creating 3d effect with cinema 4d etc? I'd greatly appreciate a response, or at least a tutorial/youtube vid or something like this. ( I'm sorry for my english, in my country there are no helpful instructions for Adobe after effects)
Thank you very much

but (as far as i know) you can't put an image behind it.
