Re: FLASH: TV flickering lines effect HELP?

[Bobbi Ragon]

There is a good - though somewhat basic - tutorial on how to create a TV

static effect on the Extreme Flash site

(http://www.extremeflash.com/tutorials/tvstatic.html). The tutorial doesn't

mention that you should set the speed of the clip to at least 20 - 25 fps or

so, so you might want to keep that in mind.


The tutorial provides the static screens to use, and I just realized that

the tutorial author must have created these boxes using the 'noise' filter

in Photoshop. So if you want a different-but-similar effect (like a

'crackled' screen, as you mentioned), you could apply a different filter to

a square in Photoshop then import the graphic(s) into Flash. (Maybe the

craquelure or grain filter. Those are the closest to that effect, I think.)

The numbers counting down would just be text on a separate layer in the

movie clip, of course.


Good luck!
