15.
Choose Window > Actions
16. Type the following action in the Object Actions
window:
| onClipEvent
(load)
{ |
|
_x
= Math.random()*750; |
|
_y
= Math.random()*200; |
| } |
This
action gives us any random value of x and y position
of arrow movie clip.
Math.random returns a random number between 0.0
and 1.0
17. Type the following action:
speed
= Math.random()*50;
Here
we have defined a variable named as 'speed'.
This variable collects any random number multiplied
by 50. This action helps the arrow to move.
Note: You
can also increase or decrease the numeric value ie.
50 to vary the speed of the arrows.
18.
After the onClipEvent(load) action type the following
action:
| onClipEvent
(enterFrame) { |
|
_x
+= speed; |
| } |
//
The _x += speed is equilant to _x =_x + speed.
//
//
The _x value goes on changing each time movie
enters into the frame.Everytime the new _x value
is a combination of previous _x value plus speed.
//
19.
Type the following action below it.
//
This action resets the _x position of arrow movie
clip to ' 0 ' after it goes out of the screen
area. //
20.
Now go back into the main scene.
21. Drag the flow arrow movie clip and keep it
at the top left corner.
22. Choose Control
> Test Movie.
Now you can see only one arrow moving from one end
of the movie to other end.i.e left to right.
We want multiple arrows to cover the whole movie and
get the perfect effect. For this we have to duplicate
the existing arrow in multiple arrows.
23. Choose Window
> Library > flow arrow movie clip.
24. Double click the 'flow
arrow movie clip'.
25. Insert one more layer above the existing
layer which contains arrow movie clip.
26. Choose Insert
> Layer.
27. Select the first frame
and choose Window >
Actions
28. Type the following action
in the Frame Actions Window
| number
= 7; |
| counter
= 1; |
| while
(counter<=number) { |
|
duplicateMovieClip
("arrow", "arrow" add
counter, counter);
counter = counter+1; |
| } |
|
//
The value of the variable number (7) determines
the number of arrows that should be present at a time
on the stage. //
//
The variable counter sets the value of number
of arrows to be duplicated. //
//
while (counter<=number) sets the condition.
i.e when counter value is less than or equal to the
number value. //
//
duplicateMovieClip is a command which duplicates
the original arrow movie clip. //
//
("arrow", "arrow" add counter,
counter) In this statement "arrow"
is the main movie clip which has to be duplicated. //
//
"arrow" add counter is a duplicated
arrow movie clip which can be arrow1,arrow2 upto arrow7
(eg. arrow + counter ) //
//
counter is the depth. //
//
counter = counter+1 works as a counter.Each time
counter + 1 will set a new value in the variable
counter. //
30.
Now go back into the main scene and in a new layer create
a white border for the stage.
Choose
Control > Test Movie.
Now
you can see many arrows flowing from one end to other
end.
NOTE:
You
can also replace the arrow with any other object.
