Ive used Zigo in the past for small scale tweening/zooming, but nothing too advanced. Until now.
Basically, I need to make an small flash movie that shows the route of a ship around the world. Something like this one for P&O Cruises: http://www.pocruises.com/pocruising/world-voyage-map.aspx
As you can see, the animation is very jittery, and crumby looking. I assume it has been done with paths and tweens. Im hoping by using Fuse I can create a smooth, easy to control animation. I am also hoping to add scaling/zooming to it like Google Earth.
The first problem I have encountered is that I need to give Fuse a series of co-ordinates and get fuse to move through points. I have used this code (below) to achieve this, but it moves along the first bezier, pauses, and then moves along the other. Is there a way I can get them to move through the bezeirs without the pause?
this.bezier.push({target:this.box, controlX:400, controlY:0, x:300, y:100, ease:"easeInOutExpo", seconds:2});
this.bezier.push({target:this.box, controlX:50, controlY:250, x:540, y:100, ease:"easeInOutExpo", seconds:2});
Secondly, I need to place a dot (or movieclip) to represent the ship, and a trail to represent its path. Can I trace the path of the Zigo somehow?
All feedback appreciated. There is quite a rush on this project unfortunately.
