Re: FLASH: Colored spotlight

[Russell E. Unger]

Here's a tutorial on the Spotlight Mask, written pre-F4, but it works nicely...and I've used it to do the colored spotlight, as well.  Just takes a little tweaking.


Oh, and I don't write for MACR, so it's a little more loose.  (not that they have poor writers.  Not that they don't, either.)

Copy the Layer:Mask layer's frames into this new layer (I called it "Overlay of color").  Then change the color effect of the "Art:spotlight light" symbol in both key frames, giving it an alpha value of approximately 50% (change to suit your needs).  The result will be a blue colored spotlight.
