I’m a former Flash 3 :thumb: user that’s desperately trying to get back into Flash with MX (not 2004) and need some assistance.
I have been working through some 3D/perspective tutorials lately and have gotten stuck at trying to modify one of Senocular’s great open source files from a tutorial covering Shape Movement vs. Camera Movement.
In the field of stars example at the bottom of this page, there is a scaling/easing/perspective effect that I am attempting to get a grip on.
I moderately understand all the code that was provided in the “PullThroughSpace” FLA, but I need to modify it to do the following, which is where I get stuck:
-
Instead of duplicating the “stars” MC a set number of times, I wish to have five (just an example number) individual movie clips appear.
-
As opposed to random placement of these clips a la “PullThroughSpace”, I wish to be able to define the spots myself.
-
Also NOT having them repeat when brought out of view. Similar to sofake, but with the addition of perspective. Also refer to bit-101’s April 24, 2003 experiment.
-
Have buttons that, on release, will take you to a specific movie clip in this virtual field instead of having to click on the clip itself. Again… somewhat similar to the sofake design.
Any FLAs, links or code snippets would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
