Cool Animated Glass Rollovers: Flash AS3 Tutorial!

For those of you that remember just mere months ago the "older" version of tutvid.com was a bit different looking than the new. On the tutorials page for the various programs I make tutorials on I had these sort of flowing glass rollovers. This tutorial is how to make exactly those buttons. Pretty easy, but also pretty tricky, but nothing too, too difficult. We will take a look at tweening in the timeline to create a seamless loop, using the pen tool a little, masking, reversing many frames at at time and more!

great tutorials. my only problem is the framerate of your videos. its a really low framerate and so when you test the movie you cant see the effects that u have just taught us to make. but apart from that, these tutorials are excellent!

Believe it or not I record at about 30fps but my new recorder kinda, well does not record at 30fps... I am working on a new program right now and hopefully newer videos will have the problem fixed. Pretty frustrating, but it is what it is. Thanks for the comment :D

Also, does the ROLL_OVER, ROLL_OUT function work for Movie Clips?

[MythOfEchelon]

Yannoe, you only need one motion tween per layer, really. Just ensure the motion tween ends as the timeline ends so it loops round

All these people saying he speaks too fast- I think he speaks very clearly, and in a tone that is neither boring or hard to follow. The thing that gets me is that the fucking video keeps sticking and jumping!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!??????????
