MemberI sent you the email with the files attached Sandee, I just wanted to check you received them alright?
October 14, 2014 at 9:00 am in reply to: A Flowing Animation to Represent the Flow of a River #71058MemberI’m sure that would be fine! I’ll send you the finished files once they’re done.
October 14, 2014 at 8:43 am in reply to: A Flowing Animation to Represent the Flow of a River #71056MemberPERFECT! Absolutely perfect! Sandee thank you so much, I could not have done this without your advice. I shall remember to link to a copy of the final version when it is completed so that you and anyone else interested can see it in action!
October 14, 2014 at 7:41 am in reply to: A Flowing Animation to Represent the Flow of a River #71052MemberThat’s sorted it, I feel confident enough in the animation shown in the proof of concept I’ll link to for the presentation to work.
The way I’ve set it up is:
Red Circles: 0.5s Yellow Circles 1.0s and Blue Circles: 1.5sAt the moment, following the split in the river, in order for the faster moving channel to race ahead of the slower one I place two fast circles i.e Yellow followed by one slower one i.e Blue.
The animation would look better if, whilst the 1.0s Blue circle animation was running, two 0.5s Yellow circle animations ran too, only one after the other. At the moment if I link them together it seems all three circles would begin their animation at the same time. Perhaps this is a step too far but I thought it would be worth checking just in case.
Here’s the proof of concept: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jnv532iyrnle5lo/River%20Animation%20Proof%20Of%20Concept.pdf?dl=0
October 14, 2014 at 2:02 am in reply to: A Flowing Animation to Represent the Flow of a River #71035MemberUnfortunately the first option didn’t work. The animation continues to play over a white background which obscures the background art.
October 13, 2014 at 3:18 pm in reply to: A Flowing Animation to Represent the Flow of a River #71029MemberWell I’ve put together a test animation which achieves an effect close to what I imagined, I was hoping to be able to send you the PDF exported with the SWF to see if there might be any improvements or refinements to be made.
However, whenever I export the final PDF the animation does play but over a white box which obscures the background graphic. I’m struggling to find and setting which corrects this.
October 12, 2014 at 8:03 am in reply to: A Flowing Animation to Represent the Flow of a River #70997MemberHa, that’s a relief, I should have mentioned that key piece of information earlier! Thank you so much for the file Sandee, I think I can see how this will come together now. I shall play around with it later this evening and report back!
October 12, 2014 at 7:26 am in reply to: A Flowing Animation to Represent the Flow of a River #70995MemberThank you for the ID file and comprehensive explanation. Unfortunately I only have access to ID CS6 at this time and was unable to open the file.
October 12, 2014 at 3:11 am in reply to: A Flowing Animation to Represent the Flow of a River #70993MemberSandee,
Thank you, again the effects in that video are exactly what I am after. The animation will run on a laptop/desktop with Flash Player installed so that’s no problem.
October 11, 2014 at 5:21 pm in reply to: A Flowing Animation to Represent the Flow of a River #70990MemberHi Sandee,
Thank you for the response! The dots disappearing at varying speeds relating to their colour is exactly what I’m looking to achieve. I wonder would it be possible for two or more dots to run their fade out animation simultaneously or must it be done one at a time?
Ideally the animation would start over, automatically if possible, but a button press would be workable.
