Reviews for "Old Movie Effect Tutorial"
Good tutorial.
This is useful information for folks who want to create that effect without having to make a less cool looping MC.
There were a couple AS flaws, but nothing detrimental. In the actions square, it said:
if (i=2) {
i=0;
}
First of all, this if statement is wrong, and secondly, it's unecessary. It's wrong because the "=" operator is an assignment operator, so what that if statement is actually ding is assigning the value 2 to i. All htat doesn't matter anyway, since when you finished that for loop, i is always 2, so you don't need the if statement. Just set i to 0 and be done.
The other AS "flaws" is just that you use old depracated functions and operators. The "<>" comaprison operator has been replaced with the "!=" operator, and the random() function has been replaced with teh Math.random() function. Flash did away with these things for a reason, and although you have ensured more compatibility for the 5 people left in the world who still use Flash 4 to do scripting, you should try to teach newbs the new code, so their apps run faster and read better.
Anyway, good job. When I voted it was at 1.75, so I hope it doesn't get blammed.
hmmm
personally i don't remember everything being so hyper from old movies... and that line is way to jumpy... it normally stays off on 1 side of the screen.... and where was the hair?
RazorICE responds:
just make it less jumpy by changing the actionscript, also, if you want the hair, just do hair instead of a circle! the same code can be used for creating a Rain effect.
hmmm...
it all seemed to make sense, but it didnt work. maybe i did it wrong
