Macromedia Flash

This is something ive been doing for quite some time now. i call it...... well i call it cool line flying around your screen that is sure to make to new grounds or eBaums world or what ever viral video/game site you submit it to.

Step 1: Set up your canvas

Right under the time line you will see something that says 12 fps (default) just double click it and it will bring up a properties box. change that 12 to a 24 click ok and your ready.

I love flash..... but I like doing more complicated things. Here is something I did.....

[Landon Sullivan]

That was terrible.

[Coliflower]

WOW. i could never dream of creating that kind of stuff. I love the '!?' part.

[Sir Maverick]

lol...wow...I don't ever remember that...long time ago. but thanks...and now that I look back I laugh at how dumb it looks compared to what I do now....lol

[Coliflower]

then you must be pretty good.

[Sir Maverick]

lol...yeah...I'm more into visual effects and 3D now...lol

[lawizeg]

This is kinda useless... you should degrade flash like that... here's a game i made.

[Coliflower]

wow good job (by my standards) I envy your skills.

[collard41]

is there any actionscript in that. or is it just attributes.

[lawizeg]

Theres only a little.

[collard41]

when i saw this i'ble i thought i was up for a more 'How to make professionalcontent and games' rather than stuff that you can do on Powerpoint. anyway, your methods are quite slow so you must have put a lot of time into that.

The video wont even load :( what the? Is it similar to the line effect I used in my reel? www.darkmotion.com/reel.mov ?

[THE_GEEK2007]

It loads fine. It must be your computer/internet connection

[zachninme]

Why not convert your line to a symbol, create a motion guide, then a motion tween. This is a big waste of flash's potental, considering you can do this with any any animated GIF program.

[PetervG]

Because then you can only move the line and not do stuff like make it split in two and such. It limits it potential.

[zachninme]

Not really. Splitting in two wouldn't be as simple, but easier than your method. Just add another layer and add another.

[moogoat]

You wouldn't get the FBF style; the line changes shape and length slightly at different frames... You use motion tweens when you want the style to be smooth and clean.

[zachninme]

Still, you could make the item to have 3 frames, and use the wiggle tool to produce a slightly different line each time. 3 different ones should be enough.

It may help if the pictures weren't an inch thick.

[PetervG]

They were normal before, weird.

[iKill]

[PetervG]

Great! Maybe you can do in depth to do stuff like the line shooting.
