Does anyone know what the technical name is for the transition on this webpage?

I'd like to research how to do it, but I don't know what to call it. Gradient transition? Flash transition?

its just a masked transition in a wipe motion. hope that helps.

Screen Wipe.. what are you programming in. AS1, 2, 3 or just timeline?
- I'm guessing timeline.
example: http://www.cbtcafe.c…turnleftonpapuga - u can do timeline, but scripting is easier, as2 or 3, but 3 is better.instrmntl
- wipe is just the name for the old scholl left to right image transition. they used em all the time in Star Wars.instrmntl
- I'm guessing timeline.

This kind of transition is like instrmntl said created using a mask. So the animated dots would be on one layer, and that layer would be used to mask the picture that is fading in. It's really pretty simple.

You can also do some cool stuff working with the Bitmap, and BitmapData class in Flash.

a friend did this:

instead of using small individual squared masks, he cut up the image into a bunch of squared bitmaps, swapped it out for the original image, then faded each out individually.

BTW turnleftonpapuga, I'm using AS 2 and 3.
Is one easier than the other for this type of transitional masking?
I thought they were using some kind of math to make the masking dots repeat.
- Cool! yes it's much easier to do this with AS2 or 3 scripting.turnleftonpapuga

I might just find a component that comes close to the effect and tweak it, if you need it right away. The example you gave above is all timeline when I decompiled it - it's very painful looking. I have a few AS3 transition classes that I can dig up tomorrow and pass along. Good luck for now!
