brp.com - Cool Intro for Bomardier

[trevr1]

Bombardier presents its new brand identity BRP and showcases it with a pretty cool flash intro. I especially like the stretching effects. Some cool stuff going on here.

Any idea how they did that?

[aversion]

To be honest with you no

I don't think it's imported bitmap animation, I can't remember the other time I used it but there was a discussion about it, maybe if someone can remember the other site you can find the thread.

Hi Aversion,

I think I remember the site you're refering to. Wasn't it a construction or architect company? I think it had a more 3d effect and was more square than this example. Anyways they both are great.

[aversion]

yeah, sounds familiar, the effect was more central to the site, not just a banner but part of the content transitions.

Looks like a basic AE / SCALE WIPE + Wave Filter here and there...
A similar effect using Scale Wipe can be found at : www.rtrtechnology.com

It's no bitmap anim nessesary to do such things, just fancy masking, repeating, sine waves and fantasy

Part of the effect, where the picture edges slide in and out is very similar to an effect on

in the second page in the downloads (red & green thumbnail)

I know one site that uses that effect. mercurio. I had asked a while back how that was accomplished, and the answer I got was it wasn't AE.

[stevietat]

the flash popup site you get is nicer i think, even tho the intro for that is kinda.

Also not loving that logo.

Found it, at least this is the one I had in mind.

Stretcher = function(){}; 
Stretcher.prototype = new MovieClip(); 
Stretcher.prototype.onLoad = function(){ 
    this.attachMovie(this.linkID, "Grfx", 10); 
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("Stretch", 20); 
    this.Stretch.attachMovie(this.linkID, "Grfx", 10); 
    this.Stretch.createEmptyMovieClip("Mask", 20); 
    trace("this.Stretch.Mask = "+this.Stretch.Mask); 
    with(this.Stretch.Mask){ 
        beginFill(0); 
        lineTo(1, 0); 
        lineTo(1, this.grfx._height); 
        lineTo(0, this.grfx._height); 
        endFill(); 
    } 
    this.Stretch.Grfx.setMask(this.Stretch.Mask); 
    this.step = 1; 
    this.x = 0; 
} 
Stretcher.prototype.onEnterFrame = function(){ 
    with(this){ 
        x += step; 
        if(x>Grfx._width-1 || x<1)step*=-1; 
        Stretch._x = x; 
        Stretch.Grfx._x = -x; 
        Stretch._xscale = (Grfx._width-x)*100; 
    } 
} 
Object.registerClass("Stretcher", Stretcher); 
// 
// you need a clip to stretch in the library with a linkageID of "GraphX" 
// you also need a blank clip in the library with a linkageID of "Stretcher" 
attachMovie("Stretcher", "Stretcher1", 10, {linkID:"GraphX"});

There ya go

Zak.

Hi

I'm new to actionscripting. Could someone fill in a few details about how to use the above code? (where to paste it?)

Missing any other details?

Thanks for the help

Don't break your head, you can download the source code for the stretcher effect on this website .

Go to the .FLA section and select Khan's 'Scale Mask Effect'.

You'll also find some other interesting .fla's on this site. Unfortunately all the other content is in German.

Cheers,
Smalco
