smokey the bear does not approve

Ah well, I'm sure smokey does enjoy a nice cup of hot coco ( aka obviously this method isn't limited to only fire / smoke )

I didn't understand the difference between a movieclip and a graphic symbol..can you explain me that? :) thank you and nice tutorial

[koolJ]

It just tells flash what type of object it is basically, it can't figure that out on its own. If you designate something as a graphic, flash will treat it like a picture. If you make it a movie clip, obviously it will treat it like a movie clip. In flash I guess the filters like blur can only be applied to movie clips, and not graphics.

Hi

well...u know when at 1:25 u say to push the filters and then blue plus...IDK why but i cant do that because when i try to it says: filters are applicable to text,movie clips and buttons only. Please help me what to do...thanks

[koolJ]

Just what it says, you can only apply it to those objects. In other words, make sure your object is not set as a graphic, but instead a Movie Clip, like I did in the tutorial.

@studyingflash graphic symbol is just a graphic can be used for background etc... you can use movieclip to actually create moving objects etc... you can do the same with a graphic but it is much harder since you have to do it frame by frame, movie clip will auto fill in the frames of where you move the object to from start to end if you do it correctly.

@studyingflash you can go within a graphic sumbol and animate it and make it loop, which is what should have been done with the fire here, it would definitely have been less work. however if you go inside a movie clip and animate it, it will not show the animation when you go back to the regular scene
