Flash CS3 Tutorial: Fuzzy motion making flying text

Do you remember the first time you learned to use a mouse? or fasten your shoes? These jobs now look simple, but some things are completely easy to do after seeing someone do it. It is "unknown at first," which is frustrating. Well, think of this, and you will begin. We're going to look at some basic cool animations that look hard to make in Flash CS3, but once you know what to do, it's not hard to create them. To be exact, you will create an animated object that uses a blur motion to produce a fast-moving one.

1, first, you need to create two objects to use this effect: text and a linear gradient. This linear gradient has at least three colors, the middle color is close to the value of the main color of the object, and the left and right colors are the same as the background color. If you have a composite background, mix the two colors in 0% to blend the blur into the background.

2, this effect creates an animation that converts a linear gradient to a component and places it halfway to the side of the stage. You may not want to start the animation on another frame in frame 1th, providing an opportunity for the audience before the action begins.

3. After about 3 to 5 frames in the timeline, add a keyframe (F6), hold down the SHIFT key, and use the right ARROW key to make the gradient pass through the stage. Locate it anywhere you like, and make sure it's on the stage completely (don't navigate outside the stage).

4. Add a motion tween to make the gradient component pass through the stage. Next, create a blank keyframe after your second keyframe, and then drag the text symbol from the library onto the stage. Run the onion skin tool so you can see the front frame and the linear gradient position. Aligns the text with the right side of the gradient. Play with your animations.

5, avoid the effect is limited to horizontal format, rotation gradient 90 degrees.

6. Use the onion skin tool to help align text with the gradient (or top).

7, repeat the horizontal direction of the effect of the steps, for the gradient to add vertical tween to the stage can see the space. Then, in a frame after the tween, add a blank keyframe, position and align to the bottom of the gradient. Flip this step to make the text fly in and out on the stage. I believe you will have fun using this effect, it's that easy--but it's that great!

Hint: This technique effect is also very good with other objects besides text. Spheres, bullets, Superman, automobiles, almost any object based on high-speed motion can apply this effect. You will set a suitable frame rate for the project based on the tween length. You don't need to set the frame rate too fast for this effect (although it doesn't help). Using a smaller frame rate can achieve the same effect as using more frames at a higher frame rate.
