Description
It's just a load bar, everyone! That's why I have Loading in speech marks in the title!I have an idea that will probably never see the light of day. But for it to be effective, I need text 'appearing', as a readout on a screen. At first I was thinking letter by letter on seperate layers appearing one and a time but even for the word "Loading" (which is very short compared to what I want) was, not difficult, but simply very time consuming.
So instead I decided to see if the animation supported moving masks that weren't linked to their layer per animation. i wasn't sure because there were two things to compare it to:
1) Moving whole layers per frame. This is allowed.
2) Changing the actual colours of pixels or their individual transparencies in a layer. This always changes the whole layer throughtput the animation.
It fades back to the start because I couldn't think of anyway to get to go back without simply snapping that way (which seems lazy). But I suppose in real life yes, it does just DISAPPEAR.... (*ghostly*) wwwooooOOOOOOOoooo!
Fortunately, it allowed me to move the mask, so here is a loading button for anyone who thinks they might like to use it!

Something that will work well with a Flash game or a movie when it needs time to load.

The text ';oading' is mostly to confuse people, teehee. The actual efect is going to be used for a read-out, if I ever make it.

Gotcha. Still looks good for a Flash project though.

Flash uses scripting, so it's really just an inspiration. I supose it could be a website button.

I had a Flash course last semester and it was pretty tough.

Ekk, I would imagine. I remember opening the program several times, hoping to try and teach myself Flash. Both times it was jsut... no. NO. I can't believe I even dared to open the thing a second time, yet for some reason I have done some researching and want to try a third!

I struggled with that course all semester but I made a Flash website for one of my games and my teacher ended up liking it. I don't think it will show up on the campus' gallery though.

Anything you make in Flash has to be worth checking it.
DA supports submitting Flash!
