Think you know alot about flash mx huh,
then please help me out 
lol
There are a few awsome effects i want to learn how to do.
one is being the 3D Letters that like rotates 360’ degrees, but not the text one that goes around and object in the circle.
The logo of doublehost.net , how to do that as well?
Fading images / backgrounds
Lots of text effects
If anyone can helkp me out, i would appreciate it soooooo much :tie:
-Trev
ps. the forums are fantastic, i think ill stick around :phil:
Hi trev,
you can´t possibly learn (or even ask) all those questions in a single thread.
choose one, and create a new thread asking how it´s done, or better yet: first read the tutorials here at kirupa.com and i´m sure you will learn the basics in order to know what to ask in a detailed fashion.
Cheers :bounce:
Well, you should get your hands on Swift3d for those rotating letters…
But it seems like you really need to sit yourself down with flash if you want all those fancy things 
As schling said, Swift3d is the best route for 3d letters.
Assuming you are talking about the lines at doublehost, its just a mask.

Swish is another tool for creating text effects, but very weak compared to Flash overall, it is mainly just good for text effects and things like that.
Either these, or just practice with tweens. Can be a more effective way to get what you want sometimes.
Now keep in mind Flash is not something you learn in a day, so don’t think you can just jump head first and do great things. It takes A LOT of practice, and A LOT of time, and A LOT of patience.
Xara 3D also does 3D text and can export to flash. It’s a cheap alternative to swift3D if you just need 3D text
Hmm, interesting. Never heard of… thanks Sen.
yeah it was kind of a Ulead Cool 3D competitor for a while there (makeing raster 3D stills or animated gifs) before the whole Flash bang. The Flash support in Xara is good… actually I should check up on Ulead and see where Cool 3D is now. I have version 2… buried somewhere heh.
I know of Ulead Cool 3D, but I always knew that as an animated gif creator, so I didn’t mention that.
yeah, Ulead Cool 3D 3.5 exports to Flash now - as you can see
Yeah… EnVector Module … like a “cool” name makes it something different. :trout:
In making my sig I used my very own proprietary RasterBlasterGifConstrutinator Module

Wow, all these new tools Ive never heard of. BTW Kax…
taget=“blank”
should be
target="_blank"
Yep, you said taget, and blank, both are wrong… tisk tisk… 
Anywho, I fixed it, so now it opens in a new window. You could also use the vbCode tags as well
oops … i know that :-\
typed fast 
[size=1]stupid me :trout:[/size]
ya know, any link in the forums is automatically opened in a new window :q:
yes … i know that too !! :sigh:
Yep, any link that is automatically parsed, or put in through the vbCode link tags is opened in a new window, but if you use an A HREF tag you need to tell it to.
… thats true… Im used to using [**url] so its not an issue for me :-\
SEARCH FIRST!
