effect

Very easy but it gives a nice effect...
(not very hard to guess how it's done)

Actually. I'm very interested in how you did this. The last time I'd seen the "wobble" effect it was done with Director and Flash. Is this one done entirely with Flash? I'd love to know the coding.

me 2, please.

Actually it's very easy...
That's just 1 picture divided to 4 movieclips
And each movieclip's size (height and width) depends where the cursor is.
Like the upper left picture's lower right corner follows the mouse.
So If the cursor's position is 20:45 then the upper left picture's width is 20 and height 45.
And upper right picture's width is <movie width> - <upper left mc width.
I hope you got the point.
So if the movie width is 1000 and cursor pos is 50(x) and 60(y)
Then the upper-left mc width should be 50 and height 60
And upper-right mc widht should be 1000-upperleft.width
I saw that effect at deviantart.com and thought.. let's try it out-nice effect
see for yourself (flash mx required to see this)

interesting.. you know, after working with Flash 5.0 for a while I had the distinct impression that it could be done with just Flash. Just never got it to work right.

Is there anyway you can save that out as a Flash 5.0 file for me to see? I haven't been able to scratch together the fundage for MX yet.

There ya go!

(I can't even see my own signature here!!!) gotta fix it

[upuaut8]

Thank you so much. This will be a welcome addition to my arsenal of effects. Once I've decyphered it I'll be building my second major tutorial based upon it. rayoflight revisited being the first.

[Syko171]

No problem! I glad I could help!
But thank deviantart.com where I got the Idea! :)
--- Got my IE fixed :) ---

[upuaut8]

as long as you designed it, the credit will go to you. Ideas come from everywhere. :)

[Syko171]

As I said before: I'm glad I could help... or sumthin...
So anyway you can get a lot of ideas from anfy...
There are awesome effects. Might as well start figuring out how to make 'em in flash :)

If you move the curser as low as you can in that movie, and then slowly move the mouse left and right, it'll make an awsome 3D effect! Look at the middle building while doing this! IT'S AMAZING!!!!!

P.S.
I got a new intro for my site... Nothing biggie...
