Perfectly demonstrate what Macromedia are up to with 8 - making Flash easily do what Applets used to do, plus a few things Photoshop does.
That's not a complaint; I'll be upgrading, but mainly because of video and especially the Alpha channel - lotta fun there!

This isn't mind-bending or anything... I just took my old Particle Smoke experiment and added Flash 8 blending modes to see how the frame rate held up. Flash 8 player is pretty robust!

Old Flash MX Smoke Experiment:

Flash 8 Smoke Experiment (frame rate set to 60):

Flash 8 Smoke Experiment (frame rate set to 100):
http://www.sporeproductions.com/wip/8smoke_100.html


The left side buttons let you set each available blend mode.
1 = no effect, 8 = Additive, 9 = Subtractive

The lower right buttons let you choose different images to use as the "particle":
1 = a shaded, three dimensional looking puff of smoke.
2 = a dark puff with no shading.
3 = a white puff with no shading.
4 = some guy's face
5 = a multi-colored vector star.

The slider bar sets the alpha transparency.

Ideally this effect looks most realistic with puff style #1 and 10-20% transparency, and rotation. Unfortunately I had to disable rotation because the frame rate takes too much of a hit with it on.

OH AND BY THE WAY... You can click and drag the smoke emitter around!!

Sick smoke dude. Let me guess, pure AS?

Yes except for the "puff" of smoke is a PNG bitmap 45x45 pixels.

Thing is though, only the blends and some performance boost are gained in this F8 demo. I had this smoke effect already going in MX:

sample Alpha channel in virtual scenary at http://www.pixelgraphicinc.com/demos/1.htm
should be better with better video (alpha background)

visit my site www.pixelgraphicserver.com, there you would view some video samples.

Hi There!

I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who took time to help answer my questions while developing this site. I appreciate all your time and help.

This is my first "actionscript" based site, so please be gentle with critiques Make with Flash8

My first actionscript based site.

My initial experiment with flash filter and draw() method. Keep mouse down to draw and press SPACE key to reset.

[adit_ya_sharma]

Alteration of previous example for the lazy one's

Edit: My bad, I forgot to add the files to the zip file Attached it again...

[Nebulus]

Now this is the stuff I'm looking for. Are there ANY tutorials out there on how to use filters for doing this stuff? the docs have some very limited info on the full capabilities, and that's pretty disapointing.

How about book suggestions, etc? Thanks!

I think google will help you alot if you are just beginning AS coding. If you are already familiar with it then the best resource is the included Help files in Flash 8.
