Hi,

 

is it possible to make a an small object flashing to attract user's attention? Like a small flashing rectangle?

 

Please help. I need to make something looks like flashing.

 

Thanks.

Flashing alpha? A tint? Colorize? Brightness? Exposure? There are lots of ways to "flash" something. If you want it to repeat forever, just use repeat:-1 on a TweenMax along with yoyo:true.

 

TweenMax.to(mc, 1, {tint:0xFFFFFF, repeat:-1, yoyo:true, repeatDelay:0.5});

Thanks for the your reply. It works fine. Can we use 2 colors to tint in a single movie clip? Say, 1) Red 2) Yellow.

 

Thanks.

Which do you mean?:

 

A) Object goes from red to yellow to red to yellow, etc.?

 

-OR-

 

Object goes from its current state/color to red to yellow and back to its current state/color then red, then yellow, etc.?

The second one "B".

 

I would also need something like police car flash light which looks like flashing & rotating.

To get "B", you could do:

var tl:TimelineMax = new TimelineMax({repeat:-1});
tl.append( TweenMax.to(mc, 1, {tint:0xFF0000}) );
tl.append( TweenMax.to(mc, 1, {tint:0xFFFF00}) );
tl.append( TweenMax.to(mc, 1, {tint:null}) );

 

As for the police car light, I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for - these forums are generally for help with troubleshooting, not writing the code for you so it's probably be best for you to take a crack at the effect you want and then if you have trouble, post here. and maybe include a sample video link or photo or something that makes it very clear what you're looking for.

 

Cheers!
