How'd he do it?

10

DDD , bottom right (in about ya3 section) under Awards, circle flashing.

as for the effect, very simple, do what simplistik said. :slight_smile:

11

you go tto be kidding…just a tween.lol. I was looking for some way out effects. But I do have a question. How is the organic like move ment done on the transitions between sections (the bubble filling up)? I know it is a tween of some sort but how do you tween like that?

12

hehe, yeah i know :sigh:

**DDD **the transitions effect :: i would think its a shape tween with control hint points.

+plus a mask for its content(the bubbly stuff)

or … it could be a mc with the all that bubbly stuff in the mc, then have a mask layer for that mc, in which the mask is animated, revealing the mc.

13

Nah, I don’t think there is any masking at all… I replicated it. Instead of ring fading in on enlarging I think it fades out, when I tried a fade in it didn’t look right, did a fade out it looked right. So basically the frames go like…

f1-2 Static Circle no ring
f3-6 100% Circle to 80% and Ring (same size as circle) 100% - 110% + Fade out.
f7-10 is the same as f3-6 to make it pulsate 2 times then stop when it repeats.

Frame rate is around 20 so I could match his speed.

I don’t think he uses masks… although I could be wrong.

14

simplistik,can you please show me the .fla? [for educational purposes]

15

LoL, I think I’ve explained it well enough to be able to replicate it.

16

yeah i know the animation for the circle, i was talking about the preloader for the transitions, DDD ask that question…:stuck_out_tongue:

17

Hehe, d’oh

18

how do you make it static?

19

? static circle was refering to a circle not moving or being animated. (one spot)

— ruski, try the flash animation tutorials here at kirupa. they will help you understand the terms and how to do stuff… this effect is really very basic.

20

ooooh…thanks!

21

Just make f1 and 2 the same image or just a blank keyframe. Also… my bad… the circle is on one layer and the ring is on a seperate. And you have to make them graphics too.

22

yeah…figured that out… :slight_smile:

23

Thats a pretty great site, real slick. He’s only 16 too envies for starting early

24

I wanna know how to do the transition…bubbly thing…wwaaaaaaa

25

make a rectangle, animate the top of it (loop it well), animate the rectangle to move up according to % loaded, mask it. :)? Just moving a well-produced mc is all.

26

^^

27

:q: :q: i think I have an idea how to do it. outside of flash.

I agree :slight_smile: saves on symbol creations too.
