Hello And Welcome to my second tutorial
for you guys, the aspiring flash artists.
In this edition we take a look at how to make
a candle flame using the duplicate movie
method. Basically this is kind of like making
a particle system in flash. For example a movie
clip keeps generating a copy of itself over
and over again giving the illusion of a
constant flow. This tutorial will only show
you the basics , but this can be used in
many situations such as for rain
smoke or starbursts. Keep in mind though
that this technique can be very processor
intensive for some computers and can slow
your animation if you are not careful.
So without further delay, here is the tutorial :).

PS there will be a gallery @ the end
showcasing different usages.

Step 1: Change your Frame Rate
to 30. You can change
this later if desired, but remember
you'll have to go back and
adjust the amount of frames
in your movie clips.

Step 2: Draw an orb with a radial gradient fill(no stroke).
Make the center white. The middle orange, and
the outside should be a vibrant red with
it's alpha channel turned down to 0 like
shown below in figure c

Step 3: Group your orb together using ctrl+g. Then we
are going to convert it(f8 key) to a graphic with the name
"fireorb". Hit ok and continue.

Step 4: Once it is converted, we will have to convert
it again into another type of symbol(a movie clip)
so hit F8 again and this time choose movie clip
instead of graphic. Give it a name of "firego".
Hit OK once it is converted double click the orb
while it is on the stage and it will let you "edit in place"
You can also get to edit in place by right-clicking
the orb end choosing the appropriate menu item.

After

Step 5: Once you're inside of the new movie clip insert a keyframe
on frame 20 by right-clicking in frame 20 and choosing "insert keyframe"
then while still on frame 20 select the orb and move it straight up
by about 170 pixels or so.If you hold shift when you move the
orb it will constrain your movement to a straight line.

Step 6: Right-click anywhere between the 2 keyframes
in the timeline and choose "Create Motion Tween".
this will "tween" your object and make it move.

Step 7: Select the orb again and in the properties inspector
at the bottom of the screen change the "color" box to say "alpha"
Once this is done use the slider next to the box to lower the
orb's alpha to 0. This makes the orb fade away.

Step 8: Right-click on frame 21 in the timeline
and choose "insert blank keyframe".
then hit F9 to bring up the actions panel.
When in the panel  copy and paste this
action script in the window.

<P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="_sans" SIZE="15" COLOR="#0000FF">stop();</FONT></P>

This will stop the movie clip from playing
over and over.

Step 9: Next we are going to go back to the main
timeline by hitting the scene1 button.

Step 10: The next step is to convert the orb to
another symbol once again.Hit F8 to convert to
symbol choose Movie Clip as the behavior.
And for the name type "duplicator". Once converted we are
going to edit this one in place as well.
Double click the orb to go "into" it.

Step 11: Once inside of the clip select the firego movie clip
that is inside already. When it is selected you will see
in the property inspector at the bottom of the screen
that there is a box there that says "instance name"
click inside this box to activate it and type orb
for the name.

Step 12: Now add a layer to the timeline by hitting the
folder icon with a + on it.Name the new layer actions
and name the first layer "orb". Once named right click
on frame 2 of each layer and hit "insert keyframe".

Step 13: Now we are going to add the actions for
the actions layer. Select frame 1 and hit F9. Inside
of the actions window that pops up type paste this
action script.Make sure you copy/paste.
the entire following text marked in blue.
The // lines that you see can be removed without
affecting your script.

<P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="_sans" SIZE="15" COLOR="#0000FF">// the following line will duplicate the movie</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="_sans" SIZE="15" COLOR="#0000FF">// over and over again and add a new instance</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="_sans" SIZE="15" COLOR="#0000FF">// name each time it makes a new one.</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="_sans" SIZE="15" COLOR="#0000FF">duplicateMovieClip(orb, c, c);</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="_sans" SIZE="15" COLOR="#0000FF">//the fi\ollowing line sets the rotation</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="_sans" SIZE="15" COLOR="#0000FF">// of the orb to be slightly different</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="_sans" SIZE="15" COLOR="#0000FF">// in each frame, giving it a flickering</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="_sans" SIZE="15" COLOR="#0000FF">// look</FONT></P><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="_sans" SIZE="15" COLOR="#0000FF">setProperty(orb, _rotation, random(6));</FONT></P>

Step 14: Select frame 2 in the actions layer and
bring up the actions window again(F9). then paste this
script in the window. Remember Paste ALL BLUE TEXT
and again you may delete any lines marked with //.

Step 15: Change your background color to black.
this way you'll see your flame better.
Hit Ctrl+Enter to watch your new flames.:)
