so i want to fade in blurry text and softly tween to the real deal - all crisp like.
anyone accomplished this? or can help?
- rabattski0
search flashkit.com. i think that there are also apps like swift who do that.
- xrusos0
actually, not too far from this...

except i don't want it to oscillate, just fade in and stick there. (this one starts crisp and fades to blurry, then back again and again)
can anyone help make this script do that? or help me find another way?
- rabattski0
why don't you download that .fla and look at how it's done?
- xrusos0
i did... i can't figure it out...
here's the control AS...
-------------
onClipEvent (load) {
var max = 10;
var anglestep = 360/max;
var rad = (Math.PI/180);
for (i=0; i

yeah, i figured that wouldn't work.

look the best way to learn as is to work with it trial and error style. you learn so much more from that instead of asking prefab as. analyze the script, try to figure out what happens where, change the numbers, see what happens etc. seriously believe me. if you keep on doing it that way at some point you'll become an as master. you learn so much more from that.

When you take your next dump, can I come and wipe your arse for you?

Don't worry xrusos - lots of bad hair days around here it seems ;)
I didn't download the file cause I'm too lazy to join ultrahock (even thought I probably should) but had a look at the code via a decompiler - I had a quick look and try deleting the last if statement in the code and see if that works.

how much text are you talking about blurring. I'm working the file now but coming to realize that the more text you try to blur the more processor intense this will get as it is cycling through this function repeatedly creating dups of the object. not a good idea to use if your plan was to fade in and out paragraphs.
- rabattski0
you can as the quality on low to improve speed while playback and increase it after it's done. you hardly notice it. most of the times.

If you're creating this in Flash MX 2004, it does blurs for you...
If not, I created a quick prototype that will attach a movieclip and blur it.
Example:

http://www.meandmybadself.com/la…You'll need tween.as as well. Search PVN for that.

nospacebar you rock. thanks.
i haven't gotten it to work quite yet, but i'm well on my way. much thanks.
how would i let Flash MX 2004 do this for me? would it still allow compatability of the swf for player 5+?
(and to the other guy, i'm just using it for a small statement/tagline)
- nospacebar0
I no longer have it installed here because my trial ran out + company won't buy me a copy, but it falls under the timeline effects if I recall correctly. I don't think it's forwards compatible with 5.
For my prototype, you need to have that code on a frame, have your desired object in the library, and attach it using my method
this.myMovieClipInstanceName.att... 2, "linkageName", "newName", depth)
I'll document it better this evening if/when I get home.

nospacebar... did you trick out something different too?
here's my try:
http://nebogroup.com/sandbox/blu…only thing that's different is that i put an image behind it all.
but for some reason, the alphas aren't working. and it's super fast. did you do anything to the tween.as?
any help?
- xrusos0
never mind... turns out it was a font issue - it was substituting your font for a default font - and system default fonts seem to have trouble with alphas.
but, can you help me slow it down though?
you've been totally helpful. thanks so much.

for real jevad, if this was YH, he'd get my point for the day.
(and jevad, i hear you on that other thread about first time using flash in a while. i used to know this stuff - back in 2001, but now it's all changed! hard to get back in the game. - feel like a noob even when i'm not.)
- nospacebar0
The time is one of the arguments that you pass to the method so you can slow it down.
I've thrown it up to the extreme and gotten some really cool effects.
Also, because you bring it up, I am on YH, but I can't post because of a lack of points. So, help a brother out. My nickname on there is 'meandmybadself'
Cheers.
- xrusos0
you got yourself a YH point!
(so just how do i pass the time?)
