^ i’m very interested in learning to create this effect. :thumb: i’m quite familiar with photoshop and i’ve got a handle of the program, and i’m big on creating collages (blends?) and stuff. and now i want to make them move, a bit like that up there.

i can do a BIT with flash, enough to know how to make the text move like that, but the whole thing on the left, with the sort of white sheen moving across the frame? how does one doooo that? :elderly:

can anyone help me? i’d greatly appreciate any tips or tricks or advice or… you know. (-:

thanks in advance! i’ll be poking this forum a LOT. :slight_smile:

:link: <-- and you have LINK! WHEE!

You can create motion tweens and set their _alpha to different levels.

i see… rubs chin but does that mean that i have to make everything initially on flash, or do i make it in PS then import to flash? and then, how do i fix it without having to do everything frame by frame?

PS: pinoy! waves :smirk:

one luverly tipo is to do whatever u want in photoshop.
if you use filters and shuch, make sure you convert all the layers u want , to one layer (make sure background is transparent).

Then save/export as .png file, 32 bit (i think is 32).

Then open flash and import your image a
d voila, a perfect image with transparent background, ready for animating!.

I would make all the graphics first in PS and then import it into flash.

Once you import it into flash, then apply the tweens.

ooh thanks guys! .png files… got it. what program opens those besides flash? and how are they different from gifs? i tried to make transparent BG gifs, but they didn’t come out too well because i’m too intricate when it comes to that stuff so there was this white outline… heh. :stuck_out_tongue: my bad.

i have so many questions!! sorry! but thanks! appreciate the help a mILLION :slight_smile:
