Before this effect to do, I am afraid to open AE, now with the Flash8, the problem seems to be a lot simpler, because only one filter used, is the gradient bevel
Below teaches everybody three steps to complete this effect, first uses the time axis to make, as is not the question
First open Flash8, create a new document, the scene size customization, the number of frames customized, and not too low (I am here 18 frames/sec)
1. Draw a Button Image MC, here I draw a flash8 icon, as shown in figure:
2. Create a new MC, drag just the icon into the new MC scene, then select it, click the Properties panel, select the filter, add a gradient bevel filter for it, specific parameters as follows
Then, click on the 64th frame, choose to insert KeyFrames, the same point select the icon in the scene, add gradient bevel filter, specific parameters as shown below, and let the animation do 1~64 frame motion tween.
3, finally, every 4 frames (why 4, wait to know), insert keyframes (that is, 4, 8, 12 ...). Insert KeyFrames, and then click the MC in frame 4th and change the filter's parameters in the Properties panel. To change the distance to 4 (this is the meaning of 4 frame, not too big, otherwise bad), the 8th frame of the filter in the distance parameter is 0, frame 12th Filter Distance parameter is-4, and so on, forming a loop, the following figure:
Back to the main scene, just do the MC put into the scene, you can test the film, how, simple enough:
Finally, I think this filter should be very large expansion, because the gradient bevel color range is too wide, and with as control, should be able to appear more random more gorgeous effect, tomorrow study with as to do it, sleep first ~
