From: Vanadael on 23 Apr 2008 17:34 There's 2 sites that run what appear to be Flash effects that I'm curious to know how they did it... 1. http://www.mgmgrand.com/nightlife/ - There's a water splash type effect in the bottom right corner... I have no clue how this one was done and have searched all over for tutorials that might resemble it, but to no avail. Any thoughts on this one? 2. http://www.halo3.com/ - This one has some translucent, whispy blue effects... I'm 'thinking' this one is similar to the Animated Cloud Effects tutorial (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash/index.htm#SpecialEffects) but I'm not sure... Any thoughts?

It's a video imported into flash, most likely edited in After Effects, exported into FLV which is then run within SWF file. > > 2. http://www.halo3.com/ - This one has some translucent, whispy blue > effects...

Same as above, a video file. This one tho is large and stretched to fill window size. If you check the cache folder, you will find bg.flv file which you can import into Flash :) These effects are way too cpu intensive, even not with Flash 9 player and serious power CPUs. Also it's much easier to produce effect like that in After Effects or any other program of your preference then just load it / import in run time. Considering most of the users are on broad band, an extra 1MB for background effect makes no impact, visually on the other hand, lots of difference. -- Best Regards Urami -- "Never play Leap-Frog with a Unicorn." <urami> If you want to mail me - DO NOT LAUGH AT MY ADDRESS </urami>
