Re: FLASH: Yugo - Twirling Man FF2K?

[Randy Kato]

Jeff,


It shouldn't be too difficult. Slice up the images and then make MCs out of

them and name them in a series like mca1, mca2, etc., mcb1, mcb2, etc. This way

you can manipulate them with a loop more easily, i.e. Tell Target "mca" &

mcnum, and then set mcnum = mcnum + 1. The code's much more efficient if you're

in F5.


Then if you look at Yugo's twisted sculpture you'll notice that it's really

only changing the x-scales of the adjacent MCs in unison, and adjusting the

brightness to simulate lighting. It's a VERY well-done illusion that makes it

look 3D, but there is no complex 3D math or Z-axis simulation going on.


So to 'rotate' a new image in, have your non-timeline-based loop (to easily

control all the MCs of an image) within a timeline-based loop that controls,

gradually, the simulated rotation. Add the same amount of x-scale to the new

image MCs (that start out at 0) as you subtract from the image MCs that are

rotating out. Play with the brightnesses...season to taste.


HTH,

Randy
