Re: Fw: FLASH: Holy smokes...

Mat,


I tried creating a rising mist once (full screen) and it was just too many

pixels to tween. If you're willing to keep the active screen area small,

why not use a shape tween? This requires that you use a single, morphing

shape, as opposed to multiple shapes or symbols. Fill the destination shape

(smoke burst) with a radial gradient that uses the same color twice, but

have the outer color set to 0% alpha so it disappears (post again if you

don't know how to create custom gradients). Once the initial shape tweens

to the final shape, then tween the alpha of the shape down to 0% (perhaps

as it drifts off stage).


Please report your results here.
