Create a cool countdown animation using shape effect.

In this tutorial you're going to learn how to add a motion blur effect to your animation, using a third party software.

Did you know you can create multiple animated masks? Yup and it's easy in Flash 5.

This Flash tutorial shows you how to make an animated clock that follows the mouse as your cursor moves. The clock gives the viewer the time and date based on the settings on their local computer. So no matter where they are in the world the clock will be correct for them, as long as their computer clock is correct. The clock is built with ActionScript so the download time is very small.

If you've created an animated sequence on the Stage and want to reuse it elsewhere in the movie, or if you want to manipulate it as an instance, you can select it and save it as a movie clip symbol. This tutorial will show you how to use that movie clip symbol.

Like many beginner problems, this is painfully simple and obvious to the experienced Flash user, but it hangs up many new users for hours or even days.This problem hung me up for a day and a half.I had a continuous loop animation that served as the background of my page. I also had several menu animations that I wanted to animate once and then stop. The problem was that when the movie looped, the stopped animations would go off again. I needed a way to make the background animation loop continuously while the menu elements animated once and then stopped. I asked questions on the FlashKit Newbie Forum and someone answered my question. I did an example flash movie using the information and this is the result. I hope it helps you too.

Learn sophisticated animation techniques including how to duplicate movie clips such that you can create realistic animated trails that diminish in size and fade away as the electron revolves about an atom's nucleus. ckground: I saw the animation shown below a loooong time ago and was instantly smitten with it, despite having no idea how it was made. Now, 18 months after learning Flash, I happened upon it again and decided to see if I could make my own version. My apologies to whomever I got this from originally; I can't seem to find the animation again on the sites that the links lead-to. Anyway, I happened to zoom in very closely to the "electrons" of the original version of the atom, and saw that there were smaller duplicates of the "electron" coming out of the original "electron". Eureka! I had the answer: They were duplicating movie clips!

This tutorial will teach you how to create a bouncing effect animation using Motion Tween and Shape Tween in Flash MX 2004. The .fla download file is included at the end of the tutorial.

In this tutorial we will show you how to draw, how to illustrate a car and get it to move.

In this tutorial I'm going to show you how to create a dynamic snow effect. This can really give the final touch to a hristmas card. The snow is made with ActionScript so we don't need to tween each flake. The snow will fall in the direction of the mouse, to simulate wind. Each flake will also be scaled to its speed. The slower the flake, the smaller (because it's farther away). We'll also add a bit of randomization, so the flakes don't all fall in the same direction.
