Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Site Design / June 2004COOL EFFECT, HOW WAS IT DONE?
Hey you all, Please have a look at this site http://www.mtnonline.com/index.asp How was the flash-like (white in color) effect that goes round the edges of the guy holding the phone done? Thanks in anticipation. Big Will... i cant see any such effect - but i do see very basic shape tweens that are masked in other places - or they could be motion tweens - or even frame-by-frame - all in all, basic flash animations - dont really see anything here with that certain *wow* factor - was i supposed to click on anything? That's just a gradient fill being moved behind a mask. I agree, nothing special. Shawn Hughes > Hey you all, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Big Will... Yeap... It's a simple mask behind the image. I think that this effect would work much better with PNG image file. Andrei Gurgel > Hey you all, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Big Will... Sorry.. I guess that the image is a PNG file yet, but it looks so alias sometimes.... Hunnn > Yeap...

Thanks you all for your comments. It seems kind of cheap and easy to you all, but I am a novice here and I love that effect. My question was, HOW IS IT DONE? I'll appreciate it if anyone sends me a tutorial or explains to me how it is done. Thanks in anticipation. Big Will... i dont think any of these comments were aimed to insult you or anybody. i also believe we answered the question - basic tweens with a mask. if you don't know what any of that means then you really should try and do the built in lessons that come with flash - specifically the lesson on animation - it discusses how the timeline works and keyframes, tweens - all the basics. not trying to flame here so please dont fire back at me - really trying to just help - but everyone should at least do their part - or at least tell us your skill level so we dont have to re-type an entire chapter from the help docs. basically to recap - the effect i *think* you want (because i don't think i am seeing it) is a shape with a color mixed with a little alpha - or a solid shape converted to a symbol and the instance of the symbol has an alpha transparency - either way - this shape or instance is simply being motion tweened under a mask that you define. again if any of this is foriegn to you then you will have nothing but problems from any forum and i highly recomend spending an hour or so with the lessons. www.kirupa.com has some good tuts fyi. hope this helps. Thanks for your help. Big Will... will - if you end up needing a quick sample - just lemee know ok? it seems like everythings already resolved, but I have located a decent tutorial that details the process that will get you the effect it seems like you want. http://www.newtutorials.com/cool-masking-effect.htm ...just my two cents. nice tutorial - thanks for posting. Thanks frustratedandconfused, I guess you were the only one that wasn't "confused" about what I wanted. Thanks a lot. Big Will... Originally posted by: William... Thanks frustratedandconfused, I guess you were the only one that wasn't "confused" about what I wanted. Thanks a lot. Big Will... just for the record, my reply did explain this process - although clearly not as in-depth as the tutorial provided - but the issue here was the example you originally suplied does not contain the effect you wanted in an visually obvious way - so it makes it hard for anyone to be specific if your example isn't specific - ultimately, glad your answer was solved - it just didnt need to take this many people and this many replies for such an effect - in the end it takes more time from more people and makes you wait even longer for the answer - but as i said, one of my posts had explained the basic effect from a couple days ago - and if you needed a sample or a tut i asked you to let me know, especially if we don't know your skill level and how familiar you are with flash. |
