Hi how can I make blinking text like the enter text on www.webagent007.com??

please show me! i"m a newbie!

thanks

one more thing is it possible to use a preloader if the movie has nothing moving?

To make the blinking effect make a text, in frame #1 make the color of the text white. now make a new keyframe in frame #2(right-click on frame #2 and insert/add keyframe) and make the text color dark-grey. There ya go!

Of course! Why not? You don’t even need anything in the frames, the main thing is that the library has something in it! It preloads the library things and the tweens and stuff!

it would be easy with actionscript …

make your text and convert it to movie clip [ F8 ]
just paste this script into its actions [ F4 ]

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if ( this._alpha == 100 ) {
		this._alpha = 50
	} else {
		this._alpha = 100
	}
}

I have made this image in photoshop and I want to make the text and building kind of “move in from the left” some kind of effect. How do I do this?

Perhaps you could help me create a simple effect like the image effect on www.webagent007.com

i’d like to have a simple preloader and then have the text and building come in or something! not very fancy! :slight_smile:

Syko the effect I’m looking for is a horizontal line which expands vertically and the flash movie loads inbetween! How do I do this?

I don’t really get what you’re talking about but If you know how to make the line animation then make an empty movieclip in the center and give it an instance name.
Use this action to load a new movie in it!
loadMovie(“mymovie.swf”, _root.mymovieclip);
mymovie.swf is the swf file that you want to load! _root.mymoviecip is the movieclip you created:moustache

How do you make it so that the site becomes the screen?
For example, this site that was used above?

www.webagent007.com

Once you clcik on it, and enter, the site takes up the whole screen … Is that a flash effect? or done in HTML?

does anyone know how to do that? ^^^
