Back in the earlier days i used to do a bit of programming in qbasic. one of the things i made was this nice fire effect, i would like to recreate it in flash actionscript but my skills are far from good enough to try it. Maybe if someone feels something to crack this script, it would be nice to know if actionscript could do this. Most likely someone already made this, but i never found anything that would create “fire” with following method.
First create a line made out out of piwels, the color is picked random out of an array (filled with numeric color gradient(s)). So you get a line of pixels that all have a different shade of color(s). Then start generating the image above : The color of a pixel = the sum of the numeric colors of the 3 pixels below / 3. Do this for every pixel from left to right for x lines upwards.
That should make for a “fire” effect. Maybe you can even make it “random transparent” as well to make it look more like fire. That is, IF something like this is possible in actionscript, is it?
