Masking with actionscript

1

Could somebody help me with creating a reusable actionscript masking effect like the one on:

[skip the intro and press any main nav buttons for example: gallery]

Notice the car dissolving in a crowd of hexagons - thats the effect i’m talking about - impossible to tween it - but my actionscript skills aren’t that great to do it myself.
I’ve tried to do it with the duplicateMovieClip() action but i dont know how to make a clip repeat itselfs with a constant _x deviation in bounds of a masked image, secondly i dont know how to adress a duplicated MC with the setMask command…

Please help me - im desperate about this one.

sorry no idea here, id like to know to
(as a side note watch the intro and though the main site is very slick, the intro graphics are grainy and a bit blurred , which suprised me for such a big company…:))

Would be easier with squares instead of hexagons…
Take an empty clip, put it over your image and set it as a mask. Then put all your square (or hexagonal) clips inside that clip, by hand or with attachMovie, as you please. Then All you have to do it tell each clip to go left after a certain amount of time, either by tweening them or with setInterval.

Good luck :slight_smile:
