Wow Greatness = The Big Fat Tutorial
Really like it, Trying to apply the camera to one of my current flashes, but it is buggy.
I done everything you said in TBFT but the view when tested is the contents of the top-left quarter of the viewfinder. The aspect ratio of the camera matches that of the document too. Any further advice?
Great work by the way, with that tutorial I might not get blammed with my next portal entry.
Keep it up, and thanks.
PS any advice for the camera problem?
Did you make sure your camera is a Movie Clip?
It HAS to be a movie clip to function.
Did you make sure to put the actionscript in the first frame of the MC?
Did you make sure to copy the entire actionscript?
Try copying and pasting it directly (don't miss anything).
Are you using Actionscript 2.0?
If not that might be the problem. I'm told this camera requires AS 2.0. Check your publish settings to find out.
Excellent!
This my friend is an excellent flash tutorial. Thanks!
Thanks, glad you like it!
Nice!
Sweet, thats all that needs to be said...
Thanks.
Simple reviews are the hardest to respond to...
Would anyone mind explaining that?
Extremely Helpful and Easy to Understand
I'm a beginner to Flash, and of all the tutorials I've seen, this is one of the most helpful. The step by step procedures were easy to follow, and the presentation was well delivered. All in all I give it a big, fat 5/5.
Thanks, I did try to make it as comprehensible as possible. The presentation actually came last... Origiinally all the tuts had the same bland, pale green background. But I thought I should include some things that you could create with some of the knowledge being imparted... so I made better backgrounds, made the airplane, created the rather complex credits (timed to music and everything), scripted a few events into the tuts...
I actually used a bunch of skills that are not explained in this. I did a fair amount of fbf with the shadowy leaping guy and the explosion is all fbf (except the smoke after the explosion... that's a masked shape tween).
When i get around to making the Bigger Fatter Tutorial (planned for January 2006), I'll go into that stuff more, delve into scripted camera techniques, probably create some fully formed characters made for tweening... all that stuff.
Anyway, I'm babbling. Thanks for the review!
