particle effects / moving backgrounds

I'm a total flash / actionscript newbie. I have a question about how to create a flash background as seen here:

Adobe MAX

I don't expect a detailed explanation. I'm just looking for some info on how they create the particle effects and moving backgrounds. It looks really cool but I wouldn't know where to start to create something like that.

Thanks,

Greg

Hi,

Are you referring to the backgrounds of each speaker? ..I think it is a video edit. The speaker is clearly a video that floats, while the background can be a video loop. They just converted it to flash to be more accessible. Anyway, It is also possible to do it with flash, but it requires alot of creativity and practice. Play around with multiple movieclips, alpha, masking and gradients. Goodluck.

I have a Button I want to pull to a Label. I want the Button visualy to move when I pull it. When I drop the button on the Label I want to test some data coming with the Button - f.ex is the Button.Text="The right one!". I have some code that can do the DragDrop-effect BUT this code disables the visual effect og the Button visualy moving to the Label.

If I have a fairly big Access MDB, that is relational, and has, say, 100 objects (forms, reports, modules, etc.), what is the path to get this database "online". Is there a way to put the tables online and then distribute the front end to each user? What if I want to have all the forms and stuff online? How do you approach something like that? Is it a total rewrite with another tool?

Hi, Have created 2 seperate reports that have different images as backgrounds. Would like to have both pages print out as 1 print job (so duplex printer will make each report page on opposite sides of page) - I tried placeing both reports as subreports in a single report (lets call it SuperReport), but in that case the image backgrounds get overwritten by whatever image is set as the background for SuperReport. Any suggestions on how I...

I'm hoping someone can clarify the side-effects of setting the innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog parameter for me. I'm running a fairly standard web application hitting a MySQL 5.0 backend, currently using the default transaction isolation level of repeatable-read. We're seeing a fair amount of lock contention, and think it would be safe to move down to read-committed. We also want to disable next-key locking as this also causes some...

I'd like to experiment a little bit with vector graphics in python. When I say 'vector graphics' I don't mean regular old svg-style. I mean vector game style as in simulation of vector beam drawn graphics. If you still don't know what I'm talking about, see Grid Wars 2 (http://gridwars.marune.de/) or Battlezone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlezone). I'm guessing I'd just be drawing shapes with particle effects? Anyway, I need help...

Hello, I would like to hear people's thoughts and opinions on the best way for a VB.NET developer to move into C#.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
