ActionScript graphic effects, effects that can be applied to vector or bitmap images in a Flash animation with ActionScript code, include filters that add blurs, glow, bevels and drop shadows to your graphic images. Filters can be attached to images with the ActionScript "filters" property. Blending colors of one image with another image or with fixed colors is also possible with ActionScript. Blend modes supported include alpha, darken, difference, erase, multiply, layer, lighten, hard light, multiply and screen. The blends can be applied with the ActionScript "blendMode" property.
ActionScript animation effects are created with the ActionScript Tween class and ActionScript graphic properties. With the ActionScript tween class you can program shapes to move along specific motion paths at predefined speeds. You can also rotate objects, change the shape of objects, the size of objects and change the color of objects as they move in your animation.
Create 3-D effects such as 3-D rotation, 3-D x, y and z coordinate movement and 3-D texturing for all your ActionScript generated vector graphics and your bitmaps. ActionScript's 3-D effects are implemented with the methods and properties of several Flash classes. These include the display.GraphicsTriangle Path, the flash.geom, Utils3D, the flash.geom.PerspectiveProjection, the flash.geom.Matrix3D, and the flash.geom.Vector3D class. Render any effect you can imagine, from color texturing and lighting to projective coordinate systems, with these classes, their methods and their properties.
Create and manipulate videos for different effects and use ActionScript effects to create realistic videos from images. Use ActionScript graphic drawing and mask methods and properties to create video peepholes of any shape or size. Overlay the mask with filters to create realistic window and mirror effects as well as blur, tinting and color effects. Control the pixels in your video with ActionScript pixel and bitmap manipulation options.
Create realistic animations of object movements, such as wheel rotation, balls falling and virtual explosions, with ActionScript's Math class. The math class lets you create any mathematical function you need to create along a motion path, as well as simulate the velocity, acceleration, rotation and color along hundreds of motion paths.
