Vector animation? Is it possible?

[amos2]

Hi All,

How can I do vector animation in director. I mean a shape that transform into other shape.

Thanks.

Actually, they are embedded in Director projectors. Just import your .swf Flash file like any other element.

You can set the Flash background transparent, too. Very cool--but beware that large sizes (like 800 x 600 plus) with transparency will really slow your Dir. movie.

Not sure if Flash is embedded in Shockwave files for the net.

And for those totally crazy people who love lingo you can manipulate the verticies and handles directly through code so you COULD (if you don't have flash and really really want to do this) use code to move the vertexes over time to the new locations and move the handles to keep the shape correct.


Sorry, no code examples at this point, but if you want some I'll have a play and see what I can work out.
