Create organic 3D ribbon effects

admin — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 09:12:46 +0000

Go with the flow to generate a series of stunning, colourful Flash patterns, writes Stewart Hamilton-Arrandale

Free-flowing ribbon effects have been given a fresh lease of life through ActionScript 3.0, enabling designers to create organic effects that react to user interaction and display as clear, crisp and bright colour ribbons.

Dozens of online and TV-based ad campaigns have been reintroducing these elements to sell everything from cars to PCs, so it’s a trend on the rise and a skill worth having in your tool box.

In this tutorial I’ll be showing you how to create these organic ribbon visuals using some of Flash Player 10’s new drawing functions – but nothing we’ll be doing will be Flash Player 10 specific. I’ve set up the parameters already, and we’ll run through them, explaining what each does, so that you can use the files as a template for creating your own ribbon effects (and at the same time learn some of the new data types and the new improved drawing API in Flash Player 10).

Treat Your Viewers to a Full Screen HD Video Experience

admin — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:24:42 +0000

In this beginner to intermediate tutorial I’m going to show you how to play HD video without the inevitable blurring that occurs when the video is enlarged.

The reason for this is that I’m getting a bit tired of visiting YouTube or other sites that present HD video with a full screen option only to discover, when I click the Full Screen button, that I suddenly need the prescription for my glasses changed.

The issue is not the video but how the Flash Player handles the process of going full screen. Let’s find out how to do things properly..

Introduction

When you play video in the Flash Player, the video, for all intents and purposes, is laid into the stage. Click the full screen button and the stage gets bigger. When the stage gets bigger it brings the video along with it. Enlarge a 720 by 480 video to 1280 by 720 and is it any wonder that the video gets fuzzy?

Adobe wrestled with this issue when they were introducing the ability to play full HD video through the Flash Player. Their solution, introduced in Flash Player 9.0.115.0 , was extremely elegant. Instead of enlarging the stage, why not “hover” the vid in a rectangle “above” the stage and have the designer or developer decide whether to enlarge the stage or just a piece of it. This is accomplished through another piece of clever engineering on Adobe’s part: Hardware acceleration and scaling.

Hardware acceleration is applied through the Flash Player. If you right-click (PC) or ctrl-click (Mac) on a swf playing in a web page you’ll open the Flash Player context menu. Select Settings and you’ll be presented with the the settings window shown in Image 1. If you select Enable hardware acceleration you are able to view full screen HD video. If you leave it deselected, clicking a full screen button results in the Player using the Scaling API used when an FLV file is taken out to full screen. The neat thing about this is even though you have selected hardware acceleration, it is only used when needed. Thus, when a Full Screen button is clicked only the rectangle and it contents – a video in this instance – are scaled to full screen and hardware acceleration takes over to play the video.

Create an iPhone Inspired Switch CheckBox

admin — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 09:11:26 +0000

A CheckBox is a graphical user interface element that permits the user to make one or multiple selections from a number of options.

In this tutorial, we’ll create a Switch checkbox inspired by the iPhone Graphical User Interface. Read on to find out how!

Step 1: Brief Overview

Using the Flash drawing tools we’ll create a vector Switch that will be controled by classes. One class will take care of all the Switch behavior and another class will simply check the value of the Switch. Let’s go!

Build a Dynamic Flash Gallery with Slider Control

admin — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:32:49 +0000

In this tutorial, we’ll create a gallery which displays all image files in a given directory. A slider is used to browse easily through the images.

Create a Sparkling Bomb Mouse Cursor with FLiNT Particles

admin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:09:48 +0000

This is a beginner to intermediate level tutorial in which I will explain the basics of the FLiNT particle system. We’ll also take a look at how to create a sparkling bomb mouse cursor. It’s something I created and used in a memory game which you can check out here if you’re curious.

I’m assuming you have knowledge of ActionScript 3.0, basic object oriented programming and setting up the classpath. This is all knowledge that easily can be found on Activetuts+ however, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t know it all just yet.

With that said, let’s start making particles!

Create 3D elements in Flash

2D character animator Tom Baker helps you get to grips with the new 3D tools in Flash CS4 to create some dazzling results

Flash has come a long way since its early web-based vector days, and the new CS4 version boasts some pretty impressive extra features, such as the ability to create 3D layers ‘postcard’ style. It’s already the 2D animation package of choice for most of the major animation studios in London (Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon to name but two), but with CS4 expanding into the realms of 3D, there’s never been a better time to get to grips with the program if you’re an aspiring animator.

In this project, I run you through the basics of the new features. The following steps reveal how to animate 3D layers by creating a movie clip of a simple magician character converting a 2D box into 3D, which we animate with keyframes. The process takes advantage of the improved synergy between Flash CS4 and Photoshop CS4 – importing elements from the latter to add visual flair – and will result in a character that’s ready to export into After Effects.

You will find a finished working version of the FLA file in the support download in case you get lost at any stage, plus a movie clip showing how it should end up looking.

Adobe Flash CS5 Viper presented on FOTB 2009!

admin — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 09:23:28 +0000

Rumors had been flying around for a few days before the conference that we were going to see some sneak peaks at this year’s Adobe keynote, and that’s exactly what happened. Richard Galvan and Mark Anders, “Senior” Principle Scientist at Adobe, were back again this year with an update on the Flash platform and a sneak peek on Adobe Flash CS5 and the new Flash Mobile features.

Flash On The Beach 09 (FOTB09) report: Marc Anders started off by going over the current platform situation and Flash Player 10 installs continue to impress. New figures due out shortly will put the coverage at over 90%. Mark used some community demos to run through features in the Flash Player 10 and AIR runtimes.

Sketching pen and ink in Flash

admin — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 09:49:36 +0000

Character animator and background artist Tom Baker explains how to create hand-drawn pen-and-ink-style sketched images using just Flash and your graphics tablet

When it comes to cartoons, slick is in. Gone are the days of rough edges, pencil marks and hand-drawn etching. However, things may be about to change.

When I was called in to work on a new pilot for a Cartoon Network show called Zubar, the instructions were clear: we were going to create an animation using Flash and it needed to look rough, loose, sketchy and, most importantly, hand-drawn.

This tutorial explains how we achieved this look, using the example of a canyon background image. The technique centres on creating a library of white brush-stroke symbols and tinting these via the Properties panel. By drawing directly into Flash using a graphics tablet for the outlines and building up colour layers beneath these lines, you can create backgrounds that appear hand-drawn. In case you get lost at any stage, I’ve include a Flash file (canyon_15step.fla) in the support files, with each of the 15 steps clearly laid out.
