Webmaster Forum / Flash / General Flash Topics / July 2008Animating a circle
Does anyone know how to animate a circle? I would like to highlight a particular text item on the stage by drawing a circle around it. How do I do this? Thanks..

I would like to highlight a particular text item on the stage by drawing a circle around it. How do I do this? Depends. You can create a movieclip that does nothing more than draw a circle with the timeline and put that on top of the clip holding the text item. (smoke and mirrors) Or you can use the drawing API and manually draw a circle. -- Travis Flash Crap: http://travisnewbury.blogspot.com Easiest way: On a new layer, draw a circle. Make ten keyframes containing the circle. On keyframe 9, erase a small portion of the circle. On keyframe 8, erase a little bit larger portion. On keyframe 7, erase a little bit larger portion. And so on, until you're back at keyframe 1, which should contain only a tiny part of the circle. Now play it back and watch! Yes, you can do it with ActionScript. But if you're asking a question like this one, I assume you're very new to Flash, so I'm telling you an easy and straightforward way that you can adapt to many purposes. Walter, Thanks! This works!
