Blurry Wipe Away.

[Eyenovation]

Can anyone tell me how people are doing this BLUR effect I have seen recently?

The intro is at http://www.webbasis.com for a good example..
There is also a nice example on the FlashKit intro winner.

Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks!

hey there, this effect is easily done

you need to create a bitmap version of your graphic in an app like photoshop and basically blur it, create a blurred version and then import it into flash.

you'll have to mess with the timing to get the effect right but you're looking to replace the 'still' graphic with the blurred version and move that out of the scene fast.

messing with the easing of the tween can create some nice effects. Look at http://www.01-la.com for some good work by eric jordan who is great at this kind of stuff, wonderful timing, and by the way, he also created webasis

I just love the webbasis intro, some great work...

Interesting, a BMP, eh..?
Well - I figured as much, but did not know if there was some action scripting that did the same thing.

In any case, yeah - EJ's stuff kicks ass.

yeah it's all bitmap, it's not really possible to make a vector graphic blur like that, i guess you could use some sort of gradient shading maybe but this way is much easier.

in swish you can do blurs but it just creates copies of the symbol with different alpha fades to create the impression of a blur or a trail. It's ok, but the bitmap method is very smooth and cool.
