Nope, something more like this below :D. You’ll need to add the glow.
Hey freeskier89,
You code doesnt work if you publish it in Flash Player 7+.
What needs to be changed in order for it to work ?
Thanx
hmm… someone else said that also. To tell you the truth, I do not really know and I can’t test it because I have MX. My only guess is, try replacing the line
this.vertexBuffer = _root.createEmptyMovieClip(“3Dcontainer”+containerdepth,containerdepth);
with this just to see if it works
this.vertexBuffer = _root.createEmptyMovieClip(“3Dcontainer1”,-1);
If that doesn’t work you will have to consult someone with the latest version of flash to debug it.
That’s really cool!
nice code,!
How would i make the Lines.fla work in Flash 8 ?
Thanks
Man that is scwheeet! edit Btw- how do you add a filter (ie glow, blur etc) to a movieclip in AS?
import flash.filters.*;
this.glw = new GlowFilter(0xFF4AF7, 100, 5, 5, 3, 3, false, false);
this.createEmptyMovieClip("linecontainer", 1);
this.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
var mc:MovieClip = this.linecontainer.createEmptyMovieClip("line" + this.linecontainer.getNextHighestDepth(), this.linecontainer.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.filters = new Array(this.glw);
mc.lineStyle(1, 0xFFFFFF);
mc.moveTo(this.lastx, this.lasty);
mc.lineTo(this._xmouse, this._ymouse);
mc.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
if ((this._alpha -= 4) < 0) {
this.removeMovieClip();
}
};
this.lastx = this._xmouse;
this.lasty = this._ymouse;
};
Legend!^
Do you know what would be sweet? If you could smooth out the lines and make em kinda whip with some easing (like my intro www.fadedpixel.com/darkmotion) I really want to see a dynamic version of my ribbons :P!

Sorry for hi-jacking your thread freeskier :be:
No problem about the hijacking TheCanadian :P. I was even thinking about PMing you to get the flash 8 issue worked out
ps: Can you attach or PM a swf of the lines with glow when you get around to it? I am interested in seeing it
No problemo :hugegrin:
Wow it really eats up your processor with the filter.
that 3d polar thing is brilliant freeskier89 - i love the trail as well, it reminds me a little of some stuff on liquid journey
Thanks!
Oh and darkmotion, to smooth out the lines, boost your frame rate ;). You could also use a for loop to loop through the code and interpolate, but it would be much easier to bump up the FPS.
Edit: Thanks matthew!
[SIZE=1]I like that effect … congrats. [/SIZE]
