OMG. this is awesomee(:

[caliphAllah]

it's available at actionscript 2.0?

[Ziggynes]

@caliphAllah It is, there's no actionscript involved; he only used the  stop(); command so it would be easier for us to see.

i knew masking, but this one gave me a gud concept. thnx

[tdstudd1996]

if i wanted to do the whole blade of glass without dotting across the whole bottom part and then up couldn't i just tween a small square up the blade of glass and then mask it without constantly dotting? (please answer)

[coolkid19901]

[emug747]

thanks! that helped me a lot!

[flashbuilding]

No sweat buddy...

[Filmmaker55]

Thanks I was wondering how they did that. I guess with the adition of a nice Illustrator drawing you can really have something interesting.

[flashbuilding]

Yep, I've made a few that have taken a solid hour to make using imported swirls and curls... but in the end it is really smooth and the hour turns out to be worth it for the unique feel you get... not many know about this... let alone use it...

[Dubaifreak]

these are so used in After Effects Intros and stuff!

nice tut man thanks!!

[flashbuilding]

OK how do I set a mask layer in after effects... I gotta watch some tuts now...

[Dubaifreak]

hmm for that Pen tool will work the best

[xmylittlewhorex]

Making a mask in After Effects is soooo much easier. I have a project due tomorrow in my Flash class and this helps sooo much thanks a lot!! :-)

[vineefarm]

thanks for the tut. it requires patience :|

[flashbuilding]

Yep, maybe after effects would be wiser to use for that type of animation. I rarely use this technique myself. But I noticed not many people at my site knew about it. But god it is tedious.

[miviwi1999]

thanks, this really helped me

[purplecoconut735]
