bubbles

[orangefish]

Hi all,
I was trying to modify the kirupa "falling snow" tutorial
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/snow.asp
into a water bubbles effect which is just making it up side down. However, I was having trouble to make the bubble start from a certain point in a movie. For example, I was trying to make the bubble start from the bottom of the screen, but it didn't seem to work for me. Therefore, I was hoping if there is someone who can help me to solve the problem.
Thanks a lot.
Happy New Year everyone!:crazy:

prolly has something to do with this section of code


if (this._y>=movieHeight) {
this._y = -5;
}
if ((this._x>=movieWidth) || (this._x<=0)) {
this._x = -10+Math.random()*movieWidth;
this._y = -5;
}

but your prolly gonna have to rescript the whole thing

put it all in a single movieclip. Put that movieclip on the bottom of the screen and rotate it 180 degrees

damn i hate it when the answer to things are as easy as that

[senocular]

sometimes when you get so involved with the complexity of things you almost become 'too smart' for your own good and start to overlook simple solutions such as those :)

ok, check out my footer, i did just that
i turned the mc 180 degrees, and thats what happens?

[wa ha ha ha ha]

Thank you guys for help!
it works

try this:



if (this._y>=(movieHeight*-1)) {
this._y = 5;
}
if ((this._x>=movieWidth) || (this._x<=0)) {
this._x = -10+Math.random()*movieWidth;
this._y = 5;
}


i've not tried it myself yet, but that's what I'd try doing first... =)
