Dots 1.0



Dots 1.0 is a neat visual effect based on "dots" that react to mouse movement by avoiding the mouse cursor. "Dots" can really be any movie clip you'd like to use. You can have as many or as few "dots" in your flash project as you like, and they can be dropped anywhere on the screen (they're arranged in a circle for the example file).

Editing Dots 1.0 is simple. All the important code is contained within the library item "Dot". "Dot" has a "Graphics" layer that can be edited freely to customize the look of your "Dots". "Dot" also contains an actions layer which contains all the code.

There are two "Dot" variations in this example ("Dot" and "Dot2" in the .fla's library). One uses a special effect (see OPTIONAL EFFECTS section inside the actionscript code), the other is simply a tiny white diamond with no effects.

Watch out if you use a whole bunch of dots with lots of alpha or other effects, as this can quickly eat CPU usage and slow down your movie.

note: the MX 2004 version does not support blending modes, so it looks a little different, but functions the same.
