You can see the result at the bottom of the page!

this is very cool but unfortunately i havent got Photoshop and there isnt any suitable clouds filter that makes tileable grouped noise, but ill look for plugins.
anyway the whole site is cool so thank you very much.
anyone knows the AS solution?

[w.brants]

Maybe something like thispn = new flash.display.BitmapData (200, 100, true, 0);
pn.perlinNoise (100, 50, 5, 50, true, true, 8);

createEmptyMovieClip('smoke',1);
smoke._y = 100;
smoke._alpha = 40;

d = 0;

onEnterFrame = function(){
smoke.clear();
smoke.beginBitmapFill(pn,new flash.geom.Matrix(1,0,0,1,d,0));
smoke.moveTo(0,0);
smoke.lineTo(400,0);
smoke.lineTo(400,100);
smoke.lineTo(0,100);
smoke.endFill();
d -= 4; if (d == -200) d = 0;
}

dunno why but i cant make this working...
KM doesnt show any errors (exporting as flash 8) but in preview window i dont get the file - just a file missing icon :confused:
and when i export it to swf it just shows the blank SWF and i dunno why.

[blanius]

Worked fine for me. Double check that you are exporting as flash8

[ant_Z]

no, i dunno why ot doesnt work...
cant you post file?
anyway ive found cloud filter for PSP (interested in it please PM me).

i think youll like the scary.fun ;)

Scary.fun looks something from Tim Burton the director. You must be related. There is another way to make smoke. Draw several wigly lines 8 wide and make them white. Convert them all to a clip and then animate them. After that take copies of the clips and make them into a larger movie clip. Then add blur to about 25x and 25 y. I can get intensive results with this.

that idea is cool, will check it out this hour.
however, the hangman motive is very popular so that may look similiar to other things, but i dont know T.B. the director so...
something wrong is with my flash plugin, seems that v8 swf doesnt show. ill reinstall it and then try.
probably i gotta reinstall whole windows... no, not again!
b. regards.

Tim Burton did The courpses bride, The nightmare before christmas, and Beatlejuice.

[ant_Z]

oh, now i remember. i dont like beatlejuice, but the courpses bride was kinda cool.
anyway, now i remember that this may be inspired (and is inspired) by Nash - Im next (can be found on deviantart - seemed that have new account: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/43430745/ )
regards.

ps. now my flash completly doesnt work, and thats because of antyvir - it blocks flash's liblaries..... arrgh.

fot those interested, ive found Cloud generator plugin for Paint Shop Pro, its called Meira Meisters Cloud Plugin ;p (hope i dindt any misspells)

No ActionScript at all.
It's about tweens, gradients and alpha-channel.
See the attached file (the "clouds" image included).
Can be done in KoolMoves without any problem, but i don't have enough spare time for "artwork" now.
cheers

[ant_Z]

whoa, your version looks much better than mine, ill spend some time on analysis now. thanks.

[necromanthus]

That's because my "version" is the original version without image background and mask layer ...
:D
Take your time and show us a great KM approach.
