I've just finished writing a paper on reuse, and the usage
of XML in developing WWW I've quickly produced a graphic
for a reuse paper, and if you're interested. For this I've
skewed the a Windows page to give it the effect of floating
in space. This was achieved in Fireworks by simply inserting
a screen shot, and selecting Transform-Distort. I'll also
try and show in this article of how you can skew graphics
in Flash, and how this can be made to look as if the graphic
is flying.
Here is the initial draft graphic:
We can quickly animate this, using the skew option in
Flash to give:
I did this by skewing the graphic (which, of course,
is a movie clip). You can see that the graphic is initially
skew in the horizontal direction by 10.0. I then create
a motion tween between the unskewed and the skewed graphics:
and then later with a larger skew, to make it look at
if it is speeding-up:
I've said this before, many times, but isn't Flash amazing!
