mouse effect on picture

[sigtechian]

Can anyone tell me how they created the motion on vernita picture located at this link http://www.kill-bill.com/vol1/flash/index.html
Just click on the Vernita button, and then roll your mouse over the picture.

pretty simple. its a matter of using mouse position and distances basically.

[jerez_z]

but I never said 5 minutes. but here you go. All the code I used:

code:

---

onClipEvent (load) {

	ease = 10

	ease2 = -100

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

	tx = (0-_x)/ease

	ty = (0-_y)/ease

	tx += (_root._xmouse-_x)/ease2

	ty += (_root._ymouse-_y)/ease2

	_x += tx

	//_y += ty

}

---

and attached .swf (zipped) for you

[jerez_z]

I revised it slightly after taking a second look at the original effect:

code:

---

onClipEvent (load) {

	ease = 10

	ease2 = -75

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

	tx = (((540/2)-_x)/ease)

	ty = (((405/2)-_y)/ease)

	tx += (_root._xmouse-_x)/ease2

	ty += (_root._ymouse-_y)/ease2

	_x += tx

	_y += ty

}

but its exactly what was asked for, a slight tweeking of the easing variables would produce a slightly different effect...

[jerez_z]

well ya but I was working on a time limit :P

[jerez_z]

oh... well I'm not big on handing out code. I think people should figure things out on their own. Thats how I do it.

[jerez_z]

I only ever ask questions when I absolutley can't figure it out. And even then I try to just get a little nudge in the right direction

[jerez_z]

ok good job with the link to the coffee lounge

[sigtechian]

thanks for the answer it work great, but if you are not big at handing out code why are in the forum. Also I believe if I can help so one I will. After all as programmers we have all been stuck on something that is very simple for someone else. Like I am not really good at animation. But I am a wiz when it comes to flash, database,XML, and interactive applications. But I understand some people only help others to please their ego. Never the less thank you....oldnewbie for pushing jerez_z

[jerez_z]

haha your just like me. but I think its better for a person to code it all and figure out for themselves. Its the way I feel about it. I normally post a question on the forum with hope of getting someone to correct my logic, unless the error absolutley dosen't make sense then maybe I'll give someone a look at my code.

[flash_racer]

this is retarded. I think your gay oldnewbie. But good job jerez_z. I liked it.

[rdoyle720]

How ridiculous is this. Criticizing his answer and his sample files...yet every post in of oldnewbie's on this thread did NOTHING to answer the question.

Forums are open to whoever wants to answer (even if they want to add criticism about the answers), and people here are free to answer in as much or as little detail as they want. If you think the person deserves a little more info, add to it yourself.

[wizard34]

I think your gay oldnewbie.

Now how mature is that flash_racer? What are you like twelve years old?

[jerez_z]

ya like geez. You complimented me, but oldnewbie did as much as he could

[jerez_z]

well oldnewbie I am almost on flash_racer's side. Your posts did absolutley nothing, and your trying to take credit for the help provided.

Please note that jerez_z didn't really post something useful (actual code) until I pushed him in doing so!

I only provided that code because you basically said I couldn't do it. you also criticized the help that I did provide. You really need to get off your high horse.

I've learned from personal experience that I learn best when I do it myself. So I would have been more than happy to explain what I meant with a little more detail, and explain the logic behind it, therefore helping sigtechian to learn how and why it works. The help I provided will work for him, but if he ever really needs to change it all or implement under different circumstances he might not be able to, because all he got was some code.

So I am definatley on flash_racer's side here. Get a life. Or end the one you have. Cause its not going anywhere.

[jerez_z]

uh oh. Did I hit somebody's soft spot. Sorry. maybe you'll argue with me over the internet some more. (Cause a page of **** YOU's really hurts. Like nothing I've ever felt before. Ow)

[jerez_z]

oh I have a sense of humour. I just think your full of crap. I've looked at alot of help you've given people, and the only thing I've noticed is that you can search the Macromedia help files quite well. Good job.

[jerez_z]

so that's all you got? I thought this would be a little more fun than that.....

[rdoyle720]

To be fair, oldnewbie has provided a lot of good information to people on these forums. However, I don't think that gives him license (or anyone else) to criticize the responses people give to questions, especially when they're intended to set someone on the right track.
