[roxannekomorowski]

very appreciated thanks

[Th3Professi0nal]

Hey when i try to create a motion tween it gives me an error? Help?

[TheStillpond]

Really great! Thanks!

[spacecy]

it doesnt matter if it AS2 or AS3. tested on cs5 AS3. Thanks

[Fratos9]

okay so now i have..errrrrr......er. a.....rectangle. :D

[lnllaurito]

This only works on ActionScript 2.0....How can I do that in AS3.0??

[wompwompWomp1]

This was really helpful thanks!

[BlackBannerArmy]

@KnowFlash The layers are locked in and I've tried again but know all I get are two smaller boxes of glint!

[lnllaurito]

@BlackBannerArmy : I think it only works on AS2.0..not on AS3.O,.tested..

[KnowFlash]

@lnllaurito Then create an AS2 document instead. This tutorial was created before AS3 even existed.

[BlackBannerArmy]

Can anybody help? I've did the mask but my text won't show up, I'm using cs5.

[KnowFlash]

@BlackBannerArmy The mask and masked layers need to be locked for the effect to be visible on the stage.

[MomoShow9]

@KnowFlash the masked layer is locked and its not working in cs5

[MomoShow9]

@BlackBannerArmy I hava same problem

[MomoShow9]

I got the problem in the cs5 version you have select for the text properties *(Anti-alias for animation)*

thanks you :)

[BlackBannerArmy]

Can anybody help? 9I've did the mask but my text won't show up, I'm using cs5.

[JonathanDavis2121]

quite good explanation..it heped me a lot ..thnx



[MrYodogson]

you can do it with flash 8 too

[senioux]

thanks a lot I've been looking for such effect since I started using flash but back then I couldn't find the proper keyword, not that I could right now but the thumbnail just helped

[jhaer27]

like it :)

[JASONINDAHAZ]

thanks :D

[slicksubstance]

works great on Flash 8, I'm wondering if it is possable to do this with a graphic you import to stage? for example if I was to create my own text in photoshop that I wanted to use?

HOW TO MOTION TWEEN IN CS4 WITHOUT KEYFRAMES

(Thumbs up so this gets noticed by newbs)

Make sure you are on the first frame of glint

Right-click glint and choose Create Motion Tween from the context menu

Then you just move it from a-b

[TheNgebe]

stupid cs4 you dont want to work and keep making my text dissa-F***ING-pare

[JaftC]

it doesnt work in cs5! :(

[thelancevideo]

WHEN I CLICK MASK, MY WHOLE TEXT GONE!

[thelancevideo]

I need to go through another tutorial for my stupidity.

[thelancevideo]

What have you done to the rectangle. Why mine one is still visible when I export to swf.

Please give a full screen when you do something we cannot see... =.=

[damoloverugby]

Another useful and great tutorial, you are a great tutor

[ArseColt]

Damn feet advertisement....

[ArenaJoKeR]

/watch?v=pFsVEGdtdAw Need help, please?! :(

[GavMateHD]

I tried to do this with a banner in flash CS5 and it didn't work for me the text always disappeared.

[XtrueheroX]

hey i am doing this on flash cs5 and i did everything you told me but when i click "test movie" it comes out so that all you can see is the glint effect no tect appears into the glint efect ,but when i test it myslef like move the glint while the text is masked, it looks fine, why when i click test movie does it show a totaly wrong apperence?

[TheSaintDesigns]

whats with the crap american accent that he keeps putting on ?

[MaxwellVIP]

@claws528 Try pressing "Create Classic Tween" instead of "Create Motion Tween"

i'm guessing you are using CS4

[TheLtbiomed]

you're the flash man!! thanks man your tutos are really helping me.

[GlamBratzTV]

OMG thanks!

[mysteriously01]

justslow down!! your to f ing fast!!!!

[squirrelmultimedia]

good tutorial, except the bit about text should be "static" should have been included.

[yashkaboy]

what did you record this with?

[unkgapoznas]

i tried in cs4 to and masking does not ''behave'' like in the video... i tried sevral times and nothing happend like in the video. (the text was not visable)

[kewinm1000]

damn , i work on Illustrator and photoshop everydays, and i never get anything about Flash...

This thing is really something a=i don't get...

[Alisyalicious]

Not "Tex" cause it's not a word.

[allihopaa]

thanks for not saying that you have static text -.-

[ThedarkdudeZ]

Thankyou soooo much! It looks so great when it's done =D

[balintka22]

I cant do it. When i make the mask, the text is disappear. :S

[MaxwellVIP]

@balintka22 same problem, tried lots of tutorials and get the same result as you... but no one seems to help with this issue...

[MaxwellVIP]

@balintka22 solved! convert your text from Dynamic Text to Static Text by selecting the text and changing its status in Properties tab.

[powersignsDOTcoDOTuk]

[Masajo2000]

When I select mask, it still shows the masking layer below when it is locked?

I am trying to put a glint or light reflecting off a car in motion. When I choose mask on the layer want the reflection it locks that layer and the light layer it is masked with. The problem is I can still see the light layer. Help!!!!!!

[Acasbolt]

my fill button not working :( any1 help? btw i subscribed to you knowflash you rock

[iamhereforever]

hey umm how can i save as a gif file?

[cyberpunk1982]

very nice tutorial , thanks for uploading it :) , btw i saw you are using a nice windows skin , something black , can u tell me what is it ?

[KnowFlash]

It's just Vista with Aero turned off.

[Pcelse]

Nevermind. I was using dynamic text instead of static text. That's why it didn't work. This effect does not work with dynamic text.

[KnowFlash]

Dynamic text input is used for text that requires dynamic values and variables.

[Pcelse]

I tried to do this, when I test it on the Flash CS3 workspace, it looks good. But when I test it on a separate window by clicking CTRL+ENTER, the glint rectangle hides the text. Any idea why this is happening?

[Pcelse]

When I try to do this, it looks ok when I test it on the Flash workspace, but when I click (CTRL+ENTER) to test it on a separate window, the glint rectangle hides the text. Any idea how to fix this? I use Flash CS3 professional

[dec20056]

the website is down the only other thing iv found is flashlearer(dot)net but thts got lyk 4 vids on it

[KnowFlash]

From the YouTube channel:

"NOTICE: The new site is in development and will be launched shortly. We've suspended bandwidth on our current site for the moment."

[chuckcity20]

thank you

[doncini3000]

Can this be done on MX?

[KnowFlash]

I believe so.

[doncini3000]

Thats good. Cheers for the tutorial.

[TurgutOzal50]

Cool stuff, thank you very much and I hope you keep up the great stuff!

[Elliottsm]

nice tutorial congrats =)

[Fahim00717]

I thank you for teaching me that.

[leonheart00]

thanks a lot! :)

[sn0w119]

great job on the tutorial!!!

[RedRabbitsC]

tahnks dude ! very good tutorial !!!

[crandybloody]

Thanks dude!!

[FWNiightmare]

never mind! I just had too crazy of a font i guess, glint didn't like it..it sure did look cool though..oh well.

[FWNiightmare]

Did i miss something? i got my letters to do the glint effect, i hit play its fine..but as soon hit test movie or try to export it, all i get is the box moving..

[keirebu]

nope quite a few are having this problem i've done this before but just forgot. when i remember ill let everyone know

[KnowFlash]

You have to ensure you're on the glint layer, not the text layer, as mauricio1gonzalez says

[johnny1237]

lol thnx

[dsgamez]

Can I give you guys a hint?

Instead of going from Frame 1 to Frame 20,

you can also go from Frame 1 to Frame 100 or 200 - Now change the FPS [ Frames per Second rate ] to 60 [ if you selected Frame 100 ] or 120 [ Maximum ] if you selected Frame 200.

Now the "Glint" will go much smoother.

Nice Tutorial! :)

[jogvanandersen]

Thank you

[Samo502]

Didn't work, gradient box moves visibly and text disappears. (I'm using flash 8 pro)

[KnowFlash]

It didn't work because you were doing things on the wrong layers. Follow the tutorial closely.

[Samo502]

I followed the directions exactly, still didn't work.

[KnowFlash]

You're animating the glint layer, not the text layer. That's why the box is visibly moving.

[Samo502]

you lost me there, i had the box moving across the screen with a motion tween, and the text layer had frames that went as long as the animation, so how am i supposed to animate the text layer?

[KnowFlash]

Maybe you should focus on really basic tutorials to start with, if you're not familiar with how layers work.

[jogvanandersen]

Thanks :)

[VinceGrawr]

Theres an option for this and many other things like it its the new mac. pc

[IwzGames]

thnx for the tutorial, it works :) 5/5

[whereisvince]

already knew how to do this one.... :P

[adrivonne]

Really cool!! Thanx! but when I play the video pressing Ctrl + enter, the glint box moves but not the text.. why could it be?

[mauricio1gonzalez]

your on the glint layer, not the text layer

[fbiq81]

because as you could see the glint is moving the text havent got motion on it only the glint .

[tunez7]

how would i convert this as a JPEG file! there no options where it lets me!

[mauricio1gonzalez]

jpeg files are not animated, not can they be animated

[sticketape]

go tot file export and export it to jpeg

[johnedwardthomas]

great video! I did not know how to create this effect! Now I do!

[JJTHESLAYJ]

how would you convert your flash files that you have saved so that you can use it as a picture? like if i wanted to make a logo then use it as my youtube logo?

[Nightspeeds]

Just export it.

[Crimson0]

Great tutorial!

Question: if I do everything you said in the vid. Press enter - Looks great!

But Press the ctrl+enter - All I see is the glint box move (no text shows)

Know what the prob could be?

[sphuissen]

same problem here....who can tell me what to do?

thanx

[adrivonne]

i get the same problem.. What could it be??

[lasercrom]

thx thx thx Thx man!!!!!!!!!1
