I AM WORKING ON A DESIGN SITE FOR SCHOOL AND SAW THIS COOL ACTIONSCRIPT EFFECT ON DIFFERENTDAYS.COM

IT LOOKS LIKE A WHITE BUBBLE OR MARSHMALLOW EFFECT…

I WAS TRYING TO RECREATE THAT EFFECT MYSELF BUT WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE SCRIPTING…

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CREATE THAT EFFECT OR A TUTORIAL ON HOW TOO…

THANK YOU…:stuck_out_tongue:

When I first saw it (you do mean the tiny pulsating marshmellow thingy on the enter page?) I thought it was a gif animation tweened in ImageReady ect. going through some 20 layers or more. Then after some staring (and amazement) it does seem to be totally random.

If it is AS they are using random() and some maths. My AS is not so good yet I’m a beginner.

Hope this helps.

It uses something like this (Flash 5 only tutorial :-)…

But with different colors.

There is an experiment a lot like it on levitated, but I beg of you, if you do not know actionscript, you should not download the file, because it will be almost impossible to edit…lol. But maybe you can use it to get an idea of what is going on.

hey diggy you drew my attention to this effect, thanks I’m obsessed by it now and thanks lost for the link I’ve been looking for some AS that I could dedicate my self to learning (bottom link).

Going through the AS, wow! Time to get some books me thinks, this is the kinda thing I love. I’m going to take this baby apart. Wow this script interacts with my microphone. toooo cool. But I’m more into these spherical objects intermingling and coalesceing randomly. Could I work it out and write like it in two months? A lofty goal, with sheer determination and a change of perspective, to that of the creator of such scripts is what’s need here.

I’ve just got to be able to do this.

The circles intermingling like that is like the firs tutorial I gave a link to.

The only reason that doesn’t work is because the random motion code is outdated. Sbeener wrote a new random motion code for mx. Kirupa has a tutorial on that as well.

I never got a chance to try and update the bacteria tutorial (but I didn’t write it, so why should I update it anyway…lol).

Good luck trying to do anything at levitated, this guy is way way wayyyy advanced, it will take you more than 2 months to learn how to do those kinds of things.

you’re right about the two months, but I love this script. I’m learning about prototypes and classes at the moment and trying get my head around the maths. Its algbra, thankfully I love the stuff.
