I'm a creator of ecards and am always looking for new things to experiment on. Inspired with all the stuff here I thought to myself to try this visual glossy stuff in flash....

Although it does  chain me a bit in freedom  I do like the effect. But it does limit me in animation and stuff which means I will have to put in more time for a certain card then most cards while a good quality/quantity ratio is important.

Stuff I usually make:

Stuff I experimented on based on crystalXP stuff:

http://www.globalgreetz.com/viewcard.php?card_id=475
http://www.globalgreetz.com/viewcard.php?card_id=476

But it also inspired me to go way different directions like:
http://www.globalgreetz.com/viewcard.php?card_id=447
http://www.globalgreetz.com/viewcard.php?card_id=505
http://www.globalgreetz.com/viewcard.php?card_id=487

Thought I would share it with you guys and hope you let your thought wonder over it and reply plz.

Hi Heinster and Welcome to Crystal XP

Your work is good
And I really like This one

Keep up your good work

I like the first one  
I didn't saw a cow ? I think you want to say that you like the first one like me Neil ?  

Great work ! It RocKs !

Sorry my mistake in writing
But I've given the link now hope you can understand now

heh, that's the tracing I'm experimenting with, converting images to vectors... That way you can even animate painted images, but still it is a little bit limited (more then the glossy style).... But it helps in creating a bigger diversity in cards

But glad you guys like it

Nice work Heinster and welcome here

Perhaps I will put a flash tutorial here on how I did it, atleast if you people are interested

yes please Heinster I would like that very much!

Would be nice, I think we (The CrystalXP comunity) is always looking for new tutorials.  

Which brings me to another question: Are all tutorials posted here added to the Tutorial page at www.crystalxp.net? Putting them there makes them easier to find for the most users. Maybe I could make a tutorial, it's payback time!  

Good idea

I'd love a Flash Tutorial... I have Flash but am useless with it... I can do graphics alright but with animated stuff-- I suck...

Thanks...

I have a question

When you all talk about making things with 'flash' do you mean like Dreamweaver, MX, I mean which one do you use to do these animations?

Thanks

I suspect Macromedia Flash: Trail + information is available here.

Well, I was talking about Macormedia Flash.. (which is what I don't kow how to use at all =)

the link doesnt work for me  

I think this topic is to old too be replied   .
