how to create a snow fall effect

hi friends as christmas is coming me going to show u how to create a snow fall effect for u..

easy 5 steps..

1. first open the flash then create a movie clip name it as snow..
2. then create a white color cirlce and go the parameters and give some blur to that movie clip.
   note that don create the snow image as graphic because u may not allowed to give the parameters
3. then give the movie clip instance name as "snowflake".. dont put in double codes and all..
4. then go the layers create another new layer .name it as action..first frame's action write this
   maxsnowflakes = 100;
   var snowflakes = new Array();
   for (i = 0; i < _x =" Stage.width" _y =" Stage.height" _xscale =" 40" _yscale =" snowflakes[i]._xscale;" yspeed =" Math.random()" increment =" -2.500000E-002" onenterframe =" function" radians =" this.increment" _y =" this.yspeed" _x =" Math.sin(this.radians)"> Stage.height)
   {
   this._y = -10;
   this._x = -10 + Math.random() * Stage.width;
   } // end if
   };
   } // end of for
   play ();
   
5. in second layer paste this
   stop ();

see the image for the appearance..
ctlr+enter and check it..

Bouncing Effect in Flash

Demonstration

This tutorial will teach you how to create a bouncing effect animation using Motion Tween and Shape Tween in Flash MX 2004. The .fla download file is included at the end of the tutorial.
Please note:
1. You need to have Flash Player 7.0 installed to view the Flash animation.
2. Flash MX 2004 must be installed in your system to download the .fla file.

In the demonstration, the bouncing heart animation is created using motion tween and the shadow effect using shape tween.

TO CREATE MOTION TWEEN

Steps to Follow :

Create a Symbol

• First draw an object for Motion Tween.
  Like in the above demonstration I used heart.
• Select the object you have drawn and press F8 to convert this object to a Symbol.
• In the Symbol window which appears now. Name this object heart_mc, choose Movie clip behavior and bottom center square for registration. Press OK.
  

Create a Motion Tween

• Double click on the Layer and type "Heart".
• Select Frame 30 and press F6 to insert a keyframe.
• Select Frame 15 and press F6 to add another keyframe.
• With the playhead still on Frame 15, hold the Shift key to move the heart_mc in a straight line, and drag the heart_mc up.
• Select any frame between Frames 2 and 14 and select Motion from the tween pop-up menu in the Property inspector.
• Select any frame between Frames 16 and 29 and select Motion from the tween pop-up menu in the Property inspector.
• Press Ctrl+S to save your changes.

Create a Shape Tween

• Insert a new Layer and call it "Shadow".
• Select the first frame in the Shadow Layer, draw borderless shadow relevant to your Symbol.
• If your Color Mixture Window is not open, press Shift+F9 to open it.
• Select Eyedropper tool from your Tool box. Click it on your shadow. Now go to Color Mixture Window and type 25% for Alpha value.
  
  
• Select Frame 30 and press F6 to insert a keyframe, then select Frame 15 and press F6 to insert a keyframe.
• With the playhead on Frame 15, select the Free Transform tool. Slightly reduce the size of the Shadow.
• With Frame 15 still selected, select the Eyedropper tool in the toolbar, and then click on your shadow object. Now go to Color Mixture Window and change Alpha value to 10%.
• Select any frame between Frames 2 and 14 on the Shadow layer. In the Property inspector, select Shape from the Tween pop-up menu.
• Select any frame between Frames 16 and 29 on the Shadow layer. In the Property inspector, select Shape from the Tween pop-up menu.

Now its time for Final touch up

• Select Frame 1 of the Heart layer. Press F6 to add a keyframe. A new keyframe is added, and the playhead moves to Frame 2.
• Go back to frame 1, select the Free Transform tool from your toolbox.
• Select the transformation center point (the small circle near the center of the movie clip) and drag it to the bottom of the heart. On the Stage, drag the upper middle transform handle down to slightly compress the heart shape.
• Right-click Frame 1 of the heart layer and select Copy Frames from the context menu. Go to 29th frame and press F8 to insert a new keyframe. Right-click 29th frame and choose Paste Frame from the context menu.
• Click on the Stage, away from any objects. Type "28" in the Frame Rate text box of your Property inspector window.
• On the heart layer, select any frame between Frames 2 and 14. Then in the Property inspector, in the Ease text box, type 100. Similarly select any frame between Frames 16 and 29 in the same layer, then go back to Property inspector window and type -100 in the Ease text box. Do the same thing to the Shadow layer.

Press Ctrl+Enter to view your animation.

Flash Analog Clock

his tutorial will teach you how to create an Analog Clock in Flash MX 2004. The free download .fla file is also included at the end of the tutorial.

Please note:
1. You need to have Flash Player 7.0 installed to view the Flash animation.
2. Flash MX 2004 must be installed in your system to download the .fla file.

You wouldn't imagine how simple it is to create a Flash clock.
Are you ready? Just follow the steps below.

STEPS TO FOLLOW

1. Create a background for your clock, You can either draw it in fireworks or photoshop and import it onto your stage or draw it in flash itself.
   
2. Add 5 Layers in your Timeline window.
   Name them - interface, sec, min, hour and actions. Similar to the Timeline window shown below.
   
   
   
3. Import your clock background design into your interface Layer if you had created it else where.
4. Draw a line in your sec Layer. Select the line and press F8 to convert it to Symbol. Call this Symbol sec_mc, choose Movie clip behavior and select the bottom center square in registration. Similar to the Symbol window shown below.
   
   
   Press OK.
   
5. In your sec Layer, place sec_mc right at the center of your clock background design. Name it "sec" in instance text box of your property window. This is going to be your seconds needle.
6. Drag sec_mc into your min Layer from your library. If your library window is not open, press (Ctrl+L) to open it. Reduce sec_mc's height, may be by 3pix. Place it right at the center of your clock background design. Name it "min" in instance text box of your property window. This is going to be your minutes needle.
7. Drag sec_mc into your hour Layer from your library. Reduce its height, may be by 5 to 6pix. Place it right at the center of your clock background design. Name it "hour" in instance text box of your property window. This is going to be your Hours needle.
8. Copy and Paste the code given below in your actions window of actions Layer.
   
   time=new Date(); // time object
   seconds = time.getSeconds()
   minutes = time.getMinutes()
   hours = time.getHours()
   
   hours = hours + (minutes/60);
   
   seconds = seconds*6; // calculating seconds
   minutes = minutes*6; // calculating minutes
   hours = hours*30; // calculating hours
   
   sec._rotation=seconds; // giving rotation property
   min._rotation=minutes; // giving rotation property
   hour._rotation=hours; // giving rotation property
   
   
   
   
   
   
9. Now go to second frame of each layer and press F5 to insert new frame.

Your clock is ready. Press Ctrl+Enter to view your clock.

Masking in Flash

Masking is revealing portion of your picture or graphic in the layer below.

While surfing through net you might have come across lots of beautiful Flash effects such as ripple effect , some wording with sky background or glitter bordering an object, and wondered "How? What is the logic behind this". The answer for all this is masking.

This tutorial will teach you the basics of masking in Flash MX 2004. The download .fla file is also included at the end of the tutorial.

This tutorial will teach you the basics of masking in Flash MX 2004. The download .fla file is also included at the end of the tutorial.

Please note:
1. You need to have Flash Player 7.0 installed to view the Flash animation.
2. Flash MX 2004 must be installed in your system to download and view the .fla file.

I shall start this tutorial assuming that the reader has basic knowledge of flash such as Shape Tween and working with layers.

Okay! if you are ready, just follow the steps given below.

STEPS TO FOLLOW

Inserting Layers and Naming them

• By default you will have a layer in your timeline window. Insert one more layer, totally you need two layers to mask an object.
• Rename the top layer to "Mask" and the layer below that to "background".

Creating Shape Tween

• Import your picture to the "background" layer.
• Using Oval tool from your tool box, draw a circle in your "Mask" layer and delete it's border.
• Drag the circle to one end of your picture.
• Now go to"frame 40" of your "Mask" layer and press "F6" to insert a new keyframe.
• Now go to "frame 40" of your "background" layer and press "F5" to insert frames, so that your background image is available all through your mask.
• Select "frame 40" of your "Mask" layer, that is your new keyframe, Keeping the playhead on "frame 40" of "Mask" layer, drag the circle to other end of your picture.
• Now go back to "frame 1" of your "Mask" layer, keeping the playhead on "frame 1" of your "Mask" layer, select Shape tween in your properties window.
  

Masking

• Right click on the "Mask" layer (the area where you named the layer not where the frames exist) and select Mask.

Your Mask is all ready. Press Ctrl+Enter to view your Mask.

• Open Flash 8.0. Select New/Flash Document.
• Import the image you would like to blur by clicking on File/Import to Stage and select the image.
• Select the image on the stage and choose Modify/Convert To Symbol. Name the symbol blur and choose Movie Clip as Type.

Step 2: Create the blur effect

• Select the blur symbol on the stage.
• In the Properties Inspector, choose the Filters tab
• Click on the '+' icon and choose Blur.
• Choose 100 for Blur X and Blur Y and Quality as Medium.
  

Step 3: Create the animation

• In the timeline window right click on the 50th frame choose insert keyframe. Select the movie clip and change the blur filter X and Y values to 0 to remove the blur effect.
• Select any frame between Frames 1 and 50 and select Motion from the tween pop-up menu in the Property inspector.
• Press Ctrl+S to save your changes.

Press Ctrl+Enter to view your animation.

You can also blur only the X coordinates by removing the lock icon in the filters inspector and changing Blur X to 100 and Blur Y to 0. The effect can be seen below. You can try different blur effects by simply adjusting the blur X and blur Y values.
