Re: [Flashcoders] butterfly animation
I had to create a butterfly animation for a client a while ago. After messing around for a bit, I decided that it was the kind of thing that could be done better using traditional timeline animation. The reason being that the butterfly's wings stretch and bend in all sorts of complicated ways while it's flying. To get all those curves right with actionscript might be doable, but it would be hairy. If you don't need that level of realism, actionscript is a more tenable solution - I'd google actionscript inverse kinematics... Anyway, it's not code, but here you go... http://www.jimkremens.com/dev/demo/butterfly/index.html Jim Kremens On 7/21/06, Doug Tangren < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: does anybody here have a link for a good actionscript butterfly animation?

Re: [Flashcoders] butterfly animation
Hi Doug, i used the bit101 particle class (http://www.bit-101.com/Particles/) in conjunction with a preanimated butterfly. See http:// www.petrusko.de/butterfly.swf for an example (the butterflies appear after click). The important thing is to set turnToPath to true and experiment with wander/maxSpeed/grav. Gives a quite random butterfly motion... Greetz, Mathis Am 21.07.2006 um 21:31 schrieb Doug Tangren: does anybody here have a link for a good actionscript butterfly animation?
