Hey Everyone,

I wasn't really sure where to post this so I am posting it here :-\

This is an effect I did in Flash MX that is a copy off of http://www.h69.net . It is a close rendition of their mouse follower object, I just wanted to see if I could do it because I thought it was an interesting effect :)

I spent very little time on this so it is still a bit buggy, and definite NOT optimized to any point...LOL, but here is what I have so far :)



Let me know what you think :)
Good replica? Bad Replica? Stupid Piece of worthlessness? Any opinions are welcome :beam:

Good replica; really cool :) That is a pretty nice effect!

Cheers!
Kirupa :rambo:

Thanks Kirupa :)

The text that appears when you hold the mouse down is actually dynamic and typed through AS, I started that because I think I am going to attempt to have user inputted text or text over certain links or such, I am not 100% sure if I am going to try that or not.

[lostinbeta]

Original on h69s part at least :P

It has a lot of original possibilities though if you have a good enough imagination :)

[mdipi]

u like the elasticy in yours more...

[Raydred]

well done Lost! you've done it again ol' Chap!

[lostinbeta]

LOL, done what again?

[Guig0]

Great! Very nice effect!


=)

[morse]

*cough* open source ?

[lostinbeta]

Thanks guys :)

Morse: Do you mean did I get this as open source or am I going to make it open source? Well if it is the first... then no, this is from complete scratch... File/New :) If it is the second... then... probably not :-\ It isn't optimized yet (I suck at that) and the fact that I completely ripped the effect from someone else kinda keeps me from being able to release it as open source of my own I think.

[eyeinfinitude]

wow thats cool lost, i like that. =)

[morse]

Its just that I'v never seen elasticity used in AS that I can kindof understand.

take his tut, very good.

lost, how did you type it via as? can you post that part of the code...

[Jubba]

Dipi: here's one way to type things out using AS. its a tutorial made by.... ME!

Morse: As Mdipi said... the elasticity I used was what I learned from http://www.bit-101.com/ a while ago.

Mdipi: Jubbas tutorial is awesome :)

Jubba: Your tutorial is awesome :)

[lostinbeta]

mmmmmmmmm yep :)

[mdipi]

hmm, i saw this when i was starting out here (jub's tut that is), didnt understand why ppl want to do anything but tween, so i disregarded it,,,,hmm,,,now to do it...

[mdipi]

hmm, i didnt really get it...isnt there an easyer way? i mean like without all the fancy junk, just to get it to display? it didnt work, i dont think i did it right but i was just wondering.

[lostinbeta]

Man Phil... with that mdipi-- you just subtracted mdipi to 0, since there is only one of him.

Now it is up to me to bring him back

mdipi++

There you go mdipi :)

[upuaut]

_root.phil._visible=false;
_root.lostinbeta._yscale*=2;
_root.lostinbeta._xscale*=-2;

[lostinbeta]

*sigh*

mdipiRevived = false;
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
mdipi++
if(mdipi>=1) {
    mdipiRevived = true;
    delete _root.Phil;
  }
}

[lostinbeta]

_root.Phil === babbling

[upuaut]

for (member in KirupaForum){
sort(member);
}
function sort(){
if(member._gender==0){
sexslave(member);
}else{
killslave(member);
}

[lostinbeta]

if (davidStatement == davidStatement) {
trace("WOAH!");
}

Yeah David, check out my script :evil: I deleted Phil...mmmmwwwaaaahahahhaaa

[upuaut]

lol.. had to keep the females around for companionship yeah? :P

It might be fun to do a thread where we only talk in some sort of code.. from simple to advanced.

[lostinbeta]

Phil would spam it up nice :)

Oh wait... I mean... "conversationalize" it :P

[mdipi]

but how does this help my coding prob? i will just post in the AS section, safe from you guys....

[Jubba]

Lost, i just saw your post. Thanks. :)

Dipi: TRY IT AGAIN!! IT WORKS DAMMIT! and yes, thats pretty much the easiest way to get text to type out like that, unless you use a mask...and just move the mask...but that would be using AS...

[lostinbeta]

Yep Jubba, your tutorial is good and the code works too :)
