Mouse.hide();

http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/Animated-Custom-Cursor/29993

actionscript above removes mouse from screen. it was over movieclip every time u wanted to watch it. this way movie clip itself becomes the mouse cursor.

actionscript - finished...

onClipEvent (load) {

stop();

setProperty(this, _alpha, 50);

}

on (rollOver) {

play();

setProperty(this, _xscale, 170);

setProperty(this, _yscale, 170);

setProperty(this, _alpha, 100);

this.swapDepths(1000)
}

on (rollOut) {

stop();

setProperty(this, _alpha, 50);

setProperty(this, _xscale, 100);

setProperty(this, _yscale, 100);

}

Kurt Schwitters - dada artist

Kurt Schwitters - dada artist
Kurt Schwitters is generally acknowledged as the twentieth century's greatest master of collage. Just as collage is essentially the medium of irony, so Schwitters' life is characterized by paradox and enigma . . . http://www.artchive.com/ftp_site.htmLooking at dadas work especially Kurt Schwitters work I was interested in his collage techniques and the way he built up his pieces with different images cut from magazine articles.

tweening with action script

tutorial i looked at to try create a more fluid transition between movie clips as they increase and decrease in size.

http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/Tweening-with-Actionscript/26384

problem was it never worked - what i realised was tweening transitions can only be applyed to the whole stage and not to indevidulal movie clips.

tutorial - alpha effects

this is a tutorial i looked at hopin to find ways of animating movie clips as i moved mouse over them...

http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/Advanced-Alpha-Effect/21507

problem solved! depth of each movieclip

actionscript

on (rollOver){
this.swapDepths(1000);
}

problem solved! coming out of centre

anchor points - - Registration points

select movie clip -> Edit -> Edit in place

move movieclip over x on thop left of movie clip -> then click back button on top left

Problem!

images/movie clips - when size changes movies not always on lop layer -- different layer hights

look up - depth, anchor points

stopin and playin movies

stopin film when not selected.

onClipEvent (load){

stop();


then


on (rollOver){
Play();
}

Problem with image alignment

Problem with image alignment - with this action scripting the movie clipt increase but not from centre of movie clip only from top left. needs to enlarge/jump out from centre.

also in on (rollOver){
SetProperty(this, _alpha,1o0);
}

this puts alpha back to full when movie is selected

and

on (rollOut){
SetProperty(this, _alpha,50);
}

this putting alpha back below full visibility when deselected.

increase/decrease in size of movie clip.

on (rollOver){

SetProperty(this, _xsacle,120);
SetProperty(this, _ysacle,120);
}

on (rollOut){

SetProperty(this, _xsacle,100);
SetProperty(this, _ysacle,100);
}

value 100 = noraml size/ 120 = 20% larger

action script - alpha levels

selected movie clip

onClipEvent(load) {
this.alpha = 50
}

or

onClipEvent(load) {
getProperty(this,_alpha,50)
}


value 50 = 50% of the original alpha level. (fully visable)

on roll over i want movie clip to increase in size and to play movie in full alpha.

then when roll off i want movie decrease size/ stop playing/ decrease alpha .
