Flash 8 - Blur Mask Effect

i want to create a blurred transparent layer that will sit
over a sequence of photographs. the idea is to have a piece cut out
of the blur layer (which will look like a sharp part of the
photograph) I want to move this around ... How do i do this ...any
ideas

I have a sequence of photographs.
I want to overlay a blurred transparent layer with a shape
cut out of it. I would like to animate this blurred layer so that
aspects of the photographs underneath become visible as this layer
moves over them.
The key is keeping the photographs 'intact' allowing this
'blur layer' to do all the work.
Any ideas ??

Simple Mask Effect not working in Flash 8 Pro

I recently updated to Flash 8 pro.I'm having a wiered
problem.First I was having problem applying masking.I applied a
masking effect in a movie clip and when view the movie instead of
showing the effect it shows my masking shape that is a
rectangle.When i move the play head in the movie it shows me the
effect, im trying to achieve but when I hit ctrl+enter to test the
movie, it does not work.Then another thing was I tried to apply a
Fade in effect and even that does not work.Any suggestion would be
appreciated.As im having these problems in the player, so I assume
there is something wrong with the player.I have Flash Player 9
installed.I unistalled and re installed a new copy,Still did'nt
help. I am

Hi,
Are you sure that you set your Mask layer to a Mask? Double
click the icon int he right of the Layer name and set the Layer
type to a mask.
And regarding the Fade, I guess you may miss some thing, let
me know the steps you have done to create your Fade effect?
hope this helps

How do you make a motion tween, mask effect and shape tween, with a flash website?

More of less, I will have three seperate pages for the motion tween, mask effect and shape tween... would you make the seperately, in a different scene, as a symbol or on the same scene with the website.

It's not clear what you are after since you start talking about separate pages for the three things, and then ask about how best to put them together. If they are going to be separate they can't be together.
If your intention is to have these three things in one Flash file, ut as separate parts of it, then I would have each within a symbol and have each symbol within the same scene (I don't use multiple scenes).

Flash Blurred layers

I am searching for someone who can give me direction or ideas
on how the flash effect was created on the home page of this web
site.
http://www.savvycd.com/
I would like to create the same blurred overlayed effect but,
haven't been able to figure out how the semi-transparent blurs were
created to slide over the background.
E-mail me direct

hi.
create a background movieclip(in say layer1),and drag the
same moviclip onto stage in different layer(layer2).
go to Filters and blur the second layer to desired level.Mask
this layer so that you can display a part of the second layer.

Mask effect not showing up

I created a simple mask effect using CS3 Pro on WIn XP. When
I run the animation in Flash, the effect works perfectly but when I
publish an SWF file, the mask effect does not appear. Strangely
enough, I sent the FLA file to someone who has the same version of
Flash as me. He opened up the file, published an SWF and his mask
effect worked fine. Am I missing something here???

It sounds to me like you are not uploading all the files. The navigation for example needs the feed.xml file.
What FTP application are you using to upload?
Putting effects like drop shadows and frames increases the page file size and slows download.
Its better to take a screenshot of the image and replace the original with this JPEG. See...

Flash Show Mask Question

Hey Guys,
I was wondering if a Flash person could help me with
something. I am creating (or trying to at least) a Flash show that
begins with a logo being slowly unmasked:
http://riverahotelsouthbeach.com/allie/index.html
But then I wanted to add photos of our hotel....kind of like
what's on the other pages but I want to make it one show. Now I
managed to make the masking effect work ( ok it's no Steven
Spielberg effect but at least it works ).
Now I inserted the actionscript on the mask timeline to stop
the show from looping....
But now when I go to insert a new layer with let's say
Photo1..it won't show. I can see it work on my timeline but not
when I test the show.
I have my fla file here:
http://riverahotelsouthbeach.com/all.../riviera_logo/
Can someone help please? Thanks!!!!

I use swfObject for Flash detection. It's easier to control
than the Adobe solution and allows you to provide plain html

Adobe Flash/Photoshop/After Effects CS4 Installation - Internet Explorer Script Error

Greetings everyone. Another Adobe Installation disaster story.
I'm trying to install the aforementioned products (Flash, Photoshop, After Effects) on my computer, but I get about 20 "Internet Explorer Script Error"'s every time. [I don't even use Internet Explorer] I don't understand why the installation worked on a different computer I own but not this one. Both of them are running Windows XP Home.
I've already tried removing all Adobe Products, using msicuu2.exe, CS4CleanupScript from Adobe, etc...
This is the install log that was generated for Flash.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Help with Flash CS3 Particle Effect Tutorial Code

I did the tutorial from http://www.schoolofflash.com/2008/03/flash-cs3-particle-effect/. I used a star to replace the circle. Here's my code:
var starsArray:Array = new Array();
var maxStarss:Number = 8;
function addStars(e:Event)
    var stars:Stars = new Stars();
    stars.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
    stars.y = stage.stageHeight/2;
    stars.alpha = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
    stars.scaleX = stars.scaleY = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
    stars.xMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
    stars.yMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
    starsArray.push(stars);
    addChild(stars);
    stars.cacheAsBitmap = true;
    if (starsArray.length >= maxStarss)
        removeChild(starsArray.shift());
    stars.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,moveStars);
function moveStars(e:Event)
    e.currentTarget.x += e.currentTarget.xMovement;
    e.currentTarget.y += e.currentTarget.yMovement;
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(50);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars);
myTimer.start();
This time, I'm trying to make the stars shrink and transparent as they move away from the point. So I coded it like this:
import flash.events.Event;
var starsArray:Array = new Array();
var maxStarss:Number = 8;
function addStars(e:Event)
    var stars:Stars = new Stars();
    stars.x = stage.stageWidth/2;
    stars.y = stage.stageHeight/2;
    stars.alpha = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
    stars.scaleX = stars.scaleY = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
    stars.xMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
    stars.yMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
    starsArray.push(stars);
    addChild(stars);
    stars.cacheAsBitmap = true;
    if (starsArray.length >= maxStarss)
        removeChild(starsArray.shift());
    stars.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,moveStars);
    stars.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,animeStars);
function animeStars(e:Event)
    trace(this.starsArray);
    this.scaleX-=0.01;
    this.scaleY-=0.01;
    this.alpha-=0.01;
    if (this.alpha<=0) // remove this object from stage
function moveStars(e:Event)
    e.currentTarget.x += e.currentTarget.xMovement;
    e.currentTarget.y += e.currentTarget.yMovement;
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(50);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars, animeStars);
myTimer.start();
I couldn't make it work. All I got was an error message saying "
1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before rightbrace.
Help?

It is because of this line of code at the end
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars, animeStars);
if you read the documentation on addeventlistener it looks for these type of arguments to be passed
addEventListener(type:String, listener:Function, useCapture:Boolean);
animeStars is not a boolean it is a function. Since you already have animeStars in your addStars function you can exclude it in the last event listerer. try this:
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars);

Flash or After Effects

Hello everyone. I am new to CS3. What's the difference
between Flash and After Effects? Sense I bought the Master
collection, I want to use everything in this CS3. And I confused on
the two.
I want to create animation and still image reels for my
clients websites and don't know which one to use or start off with?
Thanks

Well, it depends what you use Flash for. Certainly it's not
for timeline
animation for many developers. I haven't used the timeline in
a long time -
I'd tell you that Flash is mostly used for web site building,
RIA's, data
viz, and the like. But there are plenty of people using it as
an animation
tool... It just depends on your needs. AfterEffects has a
timeline too...
you can do animation in it as well. But mostly it is for
post-processing -
hence the name. You can build effects, and animations in AE
and play them in
Flash as FLV files. In either case, it sounds like you need
to do some
reading.

How to create a wave-like masking effect?

If you look at the first 3 seconds of the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPYWy97pfc0
the logo is slowly reveal with a wave like masking effect, how do you do that in after effect?

Use an animaged shape or mask as a track matte for the logo.

I want to create a flash mouse over effect that I can import into dreamweaver. Dreamweaver used to have a function to make this simple, but Adobe removed it. How do I create this in flash, and then define it in dreamweaver?

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

Timing the mask effect

Hi everyone,
I have been trying to use the Mask effect to cover up a list of attendees at my webinar I do not want to appear. The section of the screen I want to obscure is motionless and appears and disappears at a few portions in the video. I am able to insert a mask and pixelate a part of the screen but am not able to time it. There seem to be no controls to time an effect, when it appears and disappears. Can Premiere Pro do this?

You keyframe the properties of the effect (not the mask) to full (or whatever) when the mask is needed and 0 if its not needed.

Keyframe shape mask effects?

Can you keyframe shape mask effects?
I'm trying to keyframe a simple shape mask effecting the outside area: -86 exposure to 0 exposure, meaning that first, inside the mask all is seen, while outside llittle is seen, then move to 0 exposure where all is seen. But clicking keyframes next to shape mask (below Color Correction 1) doesn't work. I input -86, click keyframe then move to where I want and input 0, but that's how the whole clip appears with no gradation changes.
Any suggestions?

I created some animatable masks (keyframeable on-screen control points). It's three keying effects: a single 4 point mask (like the one that comes with FCPX), a two 4 point set (essentially an 8-point), and a four 4 point set (essentially a 16-point.)
Please watch the video for best use guides. Most of the time, layering on 2 or more single 4 point mask shapes is quite addequte to do most of your masking needs.
