Onion Skin Effect

[Ryan Mayer]

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to create the effect of the onion skin
in a swf movie without manually doing a frame-by-frame dealie.

Does anyone know?

Thanks,
Ryan

The way that I have done this in the past is quite simple, but doesn't work
ALL of the time....

If you have an existing tween that you would like to onion skin, create a
new layer, say onion1.....
copy everything you want to skin, and paste it onto onion1....but one frame
later than the original....
next, on onion1, right hand click on the object you want to skin, select
properties, colour effect and alpha.
reduce the alpha by about 40%.

Thats just about it really, you get kind of a shadow effect....to give it a
more realistic effect repeat this process 2 or 3 times, reducing the alpha
further and further, so you get kind of a trail effect.....

hope it works for you!!

Another way to do it, though similar, is to make multiple layers, copying
the tween sequence to those layers, but starting and ending on the same
frame position. Then tweak both the Alpha setting and the Easing control,
setting it to ease in so that the copy of the transparent objects trail
slightly behind the solid one.

Ooh, that's a slick one!
I like it.
I must steal that idea some time (with all due credit of course)!

• What makes our business different?
We will have one low fee for all are treatments, every day of the year.
• Why should I do business with you instead of one of your competitors?
The reason why people should do business with Ultra Medic is because Ultra Medic strongly believes you do not need spend a million dollars to look like a million dollars, we understand that there are lots of medical spas out there like Ultra Medic but we are the only Medical spa that has one fee.
• Why should I do business with you instead of choosing an alternative product (like using an at-home do-it-yourself product instead of hiring you to do it)?
The main reason why consumers use at home products or try at home treatments is because, there are many companies out there that over charge the customer, so it give the customer no choice but to try at home products. Now for the 1st time Ultra Medic is changing the non-invasive Plastic surgery industry by say one fee.
