Please help… I’ve tried making 12 diffrent images of smoke and animate them but it looks crappy… Is this done with actionscript? Anybody?\r\rThanks in advance\rs-weet ---

smoke is tough except in 3d programs like Maya and filming real smoke cases. 🙂 I’ve never had a great looking smoke.\r ---

There’s a cloud tutorial here at kirupa: [www.kirupa.com/developer/…scroll.asp](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/imagescroll.asp)\r\rYou can probably use the same technique to achieve whispy smoke rising up. I’m not sure if it will work, but maybe you could try it. ---

There’s a post about a dragoon in the Flash 5 forum. Well, the last post so far is a fla in which there are flames coming out of the mouth of the dragoon. It might help you.\r\rpom 0] ---

That is one of the best examples of smoke I’ve ever seen, and by far the best I’ve seen done in Flash. Can I get a source FLA for that? ---

thanks for liking it :)\r\ri’m just getting into actionscript so please excuse my poor knowledge… \r\rat this moment i started with a movieclip of the text balloonish shape and attached a script to it that sets certain properties like rotation, scale, alpha and position… when i want to change a parameter i have to access al scripts or change one and re-duplicate and re-tweak them\r\rso i imagine one can write one function and the instances calling the function, i tried all day but no go…\r\rthen there is the duplicate movie\rhere i assume there is a way to set a loop to generate an x amount of these instances and give them (random) slightly different properties… \r\ri know little bit of lingo, i know the concept of lists and reading them but maybe that is not needed here… anyway the simpler the better ))\r\rthank you for your attention,\r\rmeesje ---

Well, you could put one instance of smoke with the code in it, and instance name it ‘mc0’. You’d have to change the code a bit though. ```auto onClipEvent (enterFrame) {\r\rif (_name == "mc0) {\r\r this.duplicateMovieClip("copy"+x,x) ;\r\r this["copy"+x]._x = random (150) ;\r\r}\r\r// The rest of your code\r\r} ``` I don’t code from scratch too well though, so if this doesn’t work, that’s normal, just post back. 😃 \rpom 0] [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/how-do-you-make-smoke/2804.md?page=2)
