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? Doug Tangren [EMAIL PROTECTED]
