khw2010 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I want to create an image that appears, from its center. (the visualization begins at the center of the image and moves out to the perimeter of the image -- hoping that makes sense). See this vid as an example, check out 0:08 All images seem to appear from the center then spread out. How can this be achieved? Masking? transformaroundcenter? Many thanks in advance!

Carl Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 yes, that can be achieved with masking. the way those images are revealed appears to be with morphing organic shapes which may be a bit of a challenge. its not just a simple circle or square mask.

khw2010 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Can you point me to a tutorial on masking in flash? Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 this one is great. http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials ... s3masking/ stop reading when you get to the part about: import fl.transitions.Tween; import fl.transitions.easing.*; you will be better off using greensock code to handle the animation. -c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSock Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Yep, Carl's suggestions are right-on, and you could also consider using the scrollRect plugin if the masking effect you're looking for is rectangular. It's a bit more complicated to visualize than straight masking, but it performs much better than masking. See the interactive example in the Plugin Explorer at http://www.greensock.com/tweenlite/#plugins (or in the downloads) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
