Growing effect, stroke animation with flash from illlustrator path

	Growing effect, stroke animation with flash from illlustrator path by funkyrico on Feb 7, 2007 at 1:46:47 pm Hello Everyone, New member posting... Thanks to CreativeCow for all Tutorial and everything :-) I am also new to Flash and damned I can't find how to do a "growing effect" with some illustrator path. I searched a lot wohtout finding the way to do this (except using a mask maybe but it seems complicated for multiple path ?) I want to animated some lines growing and (drawing) following the illustrator path from first anchor point to last one. Like this (short sample A or B, here made in AE, I wanted to do the same in Flash with illustrator path): http://www.sbgraphic.ch/download/flash_flv_player/test.html Is there a way with some simple "actionscript" or other tips to do so (something like the "stroke render" in AE). I also have C4D and I wonder if I can use it to do so. what is important is I want to use vector only files in order to get a light but large web .swf background animation. if someone knows where i can find tips etc... Many thanks in advance Eric I've really searched but did not find my solution sometimes it a lack of correct keyword for search Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Growing effect, stroke animation with flash from illlustrator path by funkyrico on Feb 7, 2007 at 11:10:58 pm Hi, Thanks for your first reply. is there a another simpler way... ? without a motion tween mask ? like specifying the "drawing" of each path on a different layers for exemple.

	Re: Growing effect, stroke animation with flash from illlustrator path by funkyrico on Feb 8, 2007 at 10:05:06 am Hi, well, why not... I'm worried about the size but I'll try, I'll let you know. Eric Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Growing effect, stroke animation with flash from illlustrator path by funkyrico on Feb 8, 2007 at 10:57:24 pm "it was a mask and vector based flash imported it with no problems, plus it was a small file." Hi, how did you export as vector from AE then ? (if I use the Render/Stroke effect) I only can export .swf with a "pIxellised" effect. Of course if I pixellise the effect it render but it will be far to heavy if I want to keep scaled capabilities like vectors. Thanks, I'm still searching....

	Re: Growing effect, stroke animation with flash from illlustrator path by funkyrico on Feb 19, 2007 at 12:05:26 am Hello Grafxflow, Sorry for not replying earlier... was a bit busy That's a great tips, I can make it working that way but I just have another trouble now in flash (I'm lost there): Now that i have my mask converted in swf, there is a lot's of keyframes with no tint (images?), how can I selected them (set them?) all together with the the same colour or same stroke, I could find how yet, I could but only one frame after one, ther must be a possibilities (or with an action script) I also find a good way with Cinema 4D but the render is a bit slow with Flashex (but it's in 3D then) Thanks for your help again :-) Eric Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Growing effect, stroke animation with flash from illlustrator path by Funkyrico on Feb 20, 2007 at 1:41:23 am Hi, Thanks, Finally I've done it, first I did not select the clip only the frame..., but I should have to select the clip in the view, not the frame... huhuhu. I thought I could edit all frames together. It's nicer your way :-) pfff... i'll put one test with a link later. hmm if I may again another last question... is it possible to edit then all symbol together, e.g. to smooth or optimize some curves ? I've tried but I could only one frame by another (on the clip, symbol) (e.g. i could separate some forms then optimize) Many thanks again Eric Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Growing effect, stroke animation with flash from illlustrator path by Funkyrico on Feb 21, 2007 at 12:25:52 am Hi, You've just understood perfectly, Many thanks again for all your tips. (it 's a bit hard for me to get into the Flash interface yet, but I hope to progress... :-D ) I'll work on the design now I know how to do it !
