Hello all,

I have not had a chance to use my Flash 5 in quite somw time. But I have a
chance to make a site as a wedding gift for my brother. I would like to go
white with a section of moving clouds on blue sky.

How can I make these clouds continually move? Any help or ideas would be
great.

Thanks Matthew

Assuming you know how to draw clouds and a blue sky ;-), you could use the
'Falling Snow' tutorial at Flashkit.com to achieve this (I know, cause I did
just that recently). Do a quick search for 'snow' here:

Needless to say, you'll have to replace the snow flakes with clouds, and
make the movement horizontal instead of vertical, but the basic principles
are explained clearly. I found it very helpful anyway.

Let me paste previous post on the subject, different item , same function tho,
I use it to make ticker, the ticker could be image of sky :


you could use trick we use for endless loop background or sky (clouds)

all you need is change it from xmouse to _x so it move by itself.
To do it change k = Xpos-_root.mc._xmouse/20; to k = Xpos-_root.mc._x/200;
and that's all , you end up with :

As another suggestion, one of the tricks I use deals with creating a tiled
effect on your clouds picture using something like PhotoShop. Even if the
image is long like 1000x200 - tiling the image will allow the right side to
match the left side. Now when you animate it from left to right or right to
left, duplicate the original cloud file and flip it horizontally a second time.
Now with the 2 cloud images side by side, when the animation completes then
loops, it will loop back into the same position as it started and appear to
flow seemlessly.
