This time I’m not using Tweens at all. Our effect is going to use the MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE event to create the illusion of a light source coming from our cursor. clickpopmedia Wed, 11 Jun 2008 15:53:29 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28752/realistic-shadow-effects-using-filters http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28752/realistic-shadow-effects-using-filters <img src="http://www.good-tutorials.com/images/icons/28349.jpg" height="40" width="40" /> In this tutorial, I will show you how to create and control Flash filter effects with Actionscript. clickpopmedia Thu, 29 May 2008 05:30:02 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28349/cool-rollover-effects-with-filters http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28349/cool-rollover-effects-with-filters <img src="http://www.good-tutorials.com/images/icons/28218.jpg" height="40" width="40" /> For any dynamic Flash project, XML will be a powerful tool. One of the most common examples (and one of the simplest) is a picture gallery. clickpopmedia Thu, 22 May 2008 21:00:03 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28218/a-flash-gallery-with-xml-and-actionscript-3 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/28218/a-flash-gallery-with-xml-and-actionscript-3 This is the first in a series on turning the Default WP Theme into something wonderful. Today we’re going to go over the basic structure of a Wordpress Theme. I’m not going to go over the WP installation process, so check out the Wordpress 5 Minute Install if you need some help with that (if you are having any issues with the install, feel free to ask me). clickpopmedia Tue, 06 May 2008 16:22:36 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27845/turning-the-default-wordpress-theme-into-something-wonderful-structure http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27845/turning-the-default-wordpress-theme-into-something-wonderful-structure The Twitter feed options provided by Twitter are severely lacking, either an ugly flash feed, or an ugly xhtml feed. So I’m going to show you how to create your own custom twitter feed. clickpopmedia Tue, 06 May 2008 13:30:02 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27821/custom-twitter-feeds http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27821/custom-twitter-feeds <img src="http://www.good-tutorials.com/images/icons/27772.jpg" height="40" width="40" /> Here’s a neat effect that I happened upon by accident. It’s a really simple Photoshop trick that results in a cool little watercolory smudge. They make great ambient backgrounds, nice accents, and are just a fun thing to throw into your composition when you need a bit of subtle color. clickpopmedia Thu, 01 May 2008 22:05:27 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27772/photoshop-watercolor-paint-smudges http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27772/photoshop-watercolor-paint-smudges <img src="http://www.good-tutorials.com/images/icons/27707.jpg" height="40" width="40" /> I’ve talked about the basics of Box2DFlash v1.4.3 in my Introductory tutorial. I showed how to create your world and how to introduce simple bodies into that world. With the release of Box2DFlash v2.0.0 the basics remain mostly the same, there are a just few details changed. I need to go over these small changes before I move on to the next step of adding joints and forces to the bodies. clickpopmedia Wed, 30 Apr 2008 01:12:21 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27707/changes-to-box2dflash-physics-engine http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27707/changes-to-box2dflash-physics-engine <img src="http://www.good-tutorials.com/images/icons/27496.jpg" height="40" width="40" /> Creating an MP3 Player in ActionScript 3.0 is fairly straight forward. I don’t plan on getting into ID3 tags here, but otherwise (as you can see) I will be going over the full functionality of a normal MP3 Player with playlist. clickpopmedia Wed, 23 Apr 2008 04:30:01 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27496/make-an-mp3-player-with-actionscript-3 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27496/make-an-mp3-player-with-actionscript-3 <img src="http://www.good-tutorials.com/images/icons/27201.jpg" height="40" width="40" /> I ’m going to walk through the steps of making a preloader for your animation, game, or application and provide easily implemented source files that you can copy and change to fit your own project. Making a preloader in ActionScript 3 is more difficult to figure out then it was in ActionScript 2, but the code itself is not any harder. clickpopmedia Wed, 09 Apr 2008 22:30:01 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27201/tutorial-actionscript-3-preloader http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27201/tutorial-actionscript-3-preloader <img src="http://www.good-tutorials.com/images/icons/27121.jpg" height="40" width="40" /> In this tutorial I will show how to make a simple &quot;game&quot; where the background is dynamically generated and a character's movements are mapped to keyboard keys. clickpopmedia Sat, 05 Apr 2008 15:30:02 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27121/generative-background-and-keyboard-mapping http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27121/generative-background-and-keyboard-mapping <img src="http://www.good-tutorials.com/images/icons/27033.jpg" height="40" width="40" /> Hello everyone. I’m glad you could join us on this fantastic day. I thought today I would show you how to use the Zig Zag effect in Illustrator to make a nice cheerful sun to live with the clouds we made in the last tutorial. clickpopmedia Tue, 01 Apr 2008 17:58:04 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27033/here-comes-the-sun-make-a-sun-with-the-zig-zag-effect http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/27033/here-comes-the-sun-make-a-sun-with-the-zig-zag-effect <img src="http://www.good-tutorials.com/images/icons/26935.jpg" height="40" width="40" /> The Pathfinder is a very helpful little tool tucked into Illustrator. In this tutorial, we're going to show you how to use the Pathfinder to easily build a cartoon cloud. clickpopmedia Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:30:02 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/26935/make-a-happy-little-cloud-with-the-pathfinder http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/26935/make-a-happy-little-cloud-with-the-pathfinder <img src="http://www.good-tutorials.com/images/icons/26778.jpg" height="40" width="40" /> While working on a recent logo design project, I had to create an element that resembled a nuclear fallout symbol. I found a quick and easy way to do just that using a simple custom illustrator brush, and now I will share my secrets with you. clickpopmedia Thu, 20 Mar 2008 04:00:03 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/26778/nuclear-warning-symbol-using-illustrator-brushes http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/26778/nuclear-warning-symbol-using-illustrator-brushes
