    pixel exploding text effect

    someone please help...

    I'm trying to create a text effect where the text explodes into little pixelated dots and then reforms into new text but i don't know where to start...

    can someone please help me?!?!?

    To do this is FLASH will take you a while...(hours I would imagine)

    I would look into SWISH for quick results...
    or

    you can take your "text" in FLASH...then on the next "key frame" I would break apart my text...then I would start making your "pixel" sections...but cutting them out one by one.... make a motion tween to move these how you would like...then maybe a "shape tween' to reform into your new text. I am SURE there are better ways to do this..maybe even a 100% AS way..but that is above me...

    Hi,

    Don't have any idea how you'd make individual pixels 'explode', but in Flash, use the text tool to write the text on different frames. If you 'break appart' the text twice(modify>break appart) the text becomes a plain shape. Then, make the two text-shapes shape-tween.
    Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience!
