Motion

1

Hi

visit this site (http://mattstaver.lighthousewd.com/new.html). On entering the site, click any gallery. Notice how the thumbnails enter the screen from the left.

I need help in the following:

My question is, how can I build the exact thumbnail motion when they enter the screen in the above site example???

Any help would be appriciated

well…It’s probably done by AS, but you could do it by animation if you wanted to, it’s quite possible.

Thanks for the fast reply.

I want to use action script, but im not sure where to start!

Can you help please :slight_smile:

well I’d start with the search button on this form :slight_smile:

something like that may best be done with tweens

Set your end position the ease in all your images then offset the right one to start first then 5 frames after start the next etc so they all actually stop at the same time

the exact thing you can use does allready exist but it takes a bit of familiarity with AS just to “borrow” the ASfiles collection and apply it to your project…(let alone build from scratch)

go to:: http://www.ultrashock.com

you’ll have to sign up then go to mx tutorials and find the “moose” Time scripted movement- parts I & II and follow through … there are source files available that contain free to use script module files (#include them in your movie)

…anywho, check that out …

go with the basic tweening for the simplicity of this action.

I may look smooth but is reletively simple to achieve the effect!

What if he had to add or subtract a photo?..What if this person has dozens of sections that this effect will be used in?
Using a tween for that would both take too long, and not be very dynamic. This is why doing this by AS would be more effecient.

Exactly kill.robot.kill…

well thats down to his descision. Although it may be better to plan for the what ifs much of the time there is always the why over complicate a simple job because you can

calm down Laslett…its only flash :wink:

14

But the great philosopher Plato once said Flash is Life. That why I relly touches me
