Need Help With New Interface - Hard to Describe!

programming flash
1

Okay Flashers,

Here’s my situation. In my interface (attached) I am trying to randomly fade in pictures from a night club. I want to those pictures to fade in to the beat of a Flash Trak for about 30 seconds and when the track hits it high point I would like the whole display to flash bright white washing out the pictures. Then as the white glow fades back to solid white, I would like the word GLO to fade in from behind.

I know how to acheive the fading in of the word GLO, but the random fade of pictures synced to music and the white flash surpass my skill at this point.

Is there anyone out there who can help me out? Let me know…

Thanks,

Kelly

There is no way for flash to get the beat of the music, so there really isn’t a way to get random images to the beat of the music. That would have to be done statically I believe.

Depending on if the beat of your music is constant you can use setInterval to call an image, but that is untraveled territory by me.

Beta,

Okay, what if we I just wanted the have the pictures fade in randomly - not synced. Do you know haow I would do that in actionscript? The flash of bright white light eludes me as well. Would you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Kelly

Hmm, I have ideas in my head about that, but in the end they don’t work out.

It is 1:30am here so I am not thinking that straight :frowning:

If it helps, think of this…

Store the images in an array and choose from that randomly.

waaait… there IS a way of getting the beat of the music!

I think

Check out www.flashkit.com

I think I saw a tut there on it…

Yes, but you need to download these other programs, one of which I believe is expensive.

Flash itself is not capable of this.

Not in flash directly… I know… (how sad)

But it IS doable with some 3rd party proggies :slight_smile:

Here is a tutorial for that…

Ok, I don’t understand how a spectrum analyzer program is going to do what I want. What if I chose not to sync the fades with the music and just randomly faded in the photos on the timeline, would that work?

I was just posting that for Eilsoe.

I am still trying to think of a way to do what you are saying.

My best guess right now would be to store the images in an array and call upon them randomly, but then there is the fading in and out issue.

You are probably better off tweening it :-\

It is 2am here now so I will work on this more tomorrow when I can think more clearly.
