This tutorial will show you how to create Complication effect using the Action Script. You will also learn how to draw a circle which we will use for this tutorial, how to convert it into a Movie Clip Symbol, how to use instance name and more.
Example:
Step 1
Step 2Draw some "circle" on the stage. After that, Hit F8 (or select Modify > Convert to Symbol) to convert that "circle" into a movie clip symbol.
Step 3While the "circle" is still selected, open the Properties Panel (Ctrl+F3), and for <Instance name> type circle. See the picture below.
Step 4Create a new layer above layer1 and name it ActionScript.
Step 5Click on the first frame of ActionScript layer, open the Action Script Pannel (F9) and enter the following ActionScript code inside the Actions panel:
for (var i = 0; i<100; i++) {
duplicateMovieClip ("circle1", "circle"+i, i);
this["circle"+i]._x = int(Math.random()*350);
this["circle"+i]._y = int(Math.random()*350);
}
Step 6
Click on the second frame of ActionScript layer , press F6 key and enter the following ActionScript code inside the Actions panel:
for (var i = 0; i<110; i++) {
Cr = this["circle"+i];
Cr.sizX += int(Math.random()*12)-5;
Cr.sizY += int(Math.random()*12)-5;
Cr._x += Cr.sizX;
Cr._y += Cr.sizY;
if (Cr._x >= 350) {
Cr._x = 350;
Cr.sizX = -(Cr.sizX);
} else if (Cr._x <= 0) {
Cr._x = 0;
Cr.sizX = -(Cr.sizX);
}
if (Cr._y >= 350) {
Cr._y = 350;
Cr.sizY = -(Cr.sizY);
} else if (Cr._y <= 0) {
Cr._y = 0;
Cr.sizY = -(Cr.sizY);
}
}
Step 7Click on frame 3 of ActionScript layer , press F6, and paste this script:
gotoAndPlay (1);
Step 8
Click on frame 3 of layer1 and press F5.
We're done!
Have a nice day!
