    I assume it's done by importing the video as a series of keyframes and attaching an onmousemove event to the clip. The flash side of it isn't hard at all, I even did my own little animation after watching that one, not quite in the same class but it took less than an hour and I think you'll find the principle is the same

    the hard part is getting that video together, just as with my crappy animation it took 45 minutes to take those photos and 15 minutes to put it together in flash, the magic happens during the editing of the video. They probably used premiere or maybe after effects to put together that scene, all the transitions etc.

    then it would just be imported into flash as a series of keyframes....

    I'm assuming

    it's pretty simple, I had 20 frames and the movie is 200pixels wide, so I knew that for every 10 pixels the mouse moved on the x axis I wanted to move my movieclip 1 frame along.

    this is the code I have attached to the movie clip, this is all the code in the movie, except for the preloader.

    Code:
    // stop clip running
    onClipEvent(load){
    	gotoAndStop(1);
    }
    
    // move clip with mouse movement
    onClipEvent(enterFrame){
    	goto = Math.round(_root._xmouse/10);
    	gotoAndStop(goto);
    }
    the 'load' event simply stops the MC from running, and then the 'enterFrame' matches the current frame being displayed in the MC with the position of the mouse on the root. As I said before I divide that number by 10 so I get a result that is between 1 and 20, I can then use this to target a particular frame in the MC.

    The Math.round just makes sure I get a whole number out of it.

    really very simple

    Thanks AV. When you say the magic happens when editing the video, what do you mean? I don't have premier I have Vegas Video...do you think that program would work?

    I think any video editing program will work, it just depends on what you want from it. In this case there were those blurred transitions that look so cool and I'm not sure if your app will do that or not, it might, some apps have tonnes of effects or built in transitions, you just have to figure out what you want to do and what your app can do.

    The magic is how you put the images together, in this case it's a few small video scenes of the woman that they blended together nicely with some cool scene transitions.

    As I said above all flash needs to do is run through those scenes frame by frame as you move the mouse with some simple actionscript.

    yeah it looks like it works exactly the same way. It's a lot purdier than mine but the code is probably no different, just linked to the scollbar rather than the mouse movement.

    I love natzke's stuff too.

    the great thing about this DJ thing isn't the flash element it's how cool the images are put together.
