how hard?.. well… it’s not impossible… but you need to have some skill… (at least 3 years of hard working)

Well I wouldn’t put a time frame on it, it just depends on how hard you are willing to work to learn Flash or how well you already know it. If you can devote a lot of time to it, you will be able to do things like that faster.

Also, keep in mind like with a lot of programs, there are usually many ways to do the same thing. It’s can be just a matter of how you figure out how to make things work.

Good luck :s:

Actually it’s not too hard… just time and thinking. That site is made up of alot of animation. My site is based on animation mainly, but I’m starting to use actionscript alot more. I’ll have my new site up soon… www.jamiebyers.com … It’s taken me a little while due to content. I have alot of motion graphics I’ve done and have to encode them for the web.

When working on a site like you posted, you have to sit down and make out compositions in Photoshop and then try to visualize the animation in your head. I then do test to make sure things will work first before implementing the animation or script to my site. After you do that, just think about what you would like to impliment into your site, such as forms, dropdown menus… ect… and do the easy stuff first.

Anyway, good luck if your going to build a site and please post it up for everyone to see.

Well… all you really do is push your fps up to like 20 fps or maybe a little more. You don’t want to get too carried away with the fps because it won’t playback well on some machines. Also change your background to black for this tutorial.

  1. Create a Rectangle (white with no stroke) and make that a movie clip… call it Rec_graphic(or whatever)
  2. Drag it on the stage or it may already be on the stage.
  3. click on it and change the alpha to maybe 50 or so…
  4. Create symbol out of that and make it a movie clip also and name it some like Rec_animated
  5. Duplicate frame 1 and change frame 2 to brightness and change the value to around 90%
  6. Now delete whatever is on the main stage and drag the Rec_animated to the stage.
  7. Optional… create a key frame around 10 and another at 15… for the Rec_animated layer… and put a motion tween between 10 and 15 and on 15 click the movieclip and switch it to alpha and give it a value of 0 and put a stop action on 15…

You could then technically make that another movieclip and put them on the main stage by offsetting some of them… and it’ll look as if they blink across the screen. But I hope this helps… I’ve included the file.:thumb:
