4 Mouse Trails - bubbles, stars, hearts and snow

nellie

Includes 4 different trails that you can use in your flash files:

Bubbles which float up from the mouse cursor as it moves

Stars which fall from the mouse cursor as it moves

Hearts which fly out from the mouse cursor as it moves

Snow which falls from the mouse cursor as it moves and then either stays on the screen (version1) or dissappears (version2)

Also try clicking to see what that does (especially noticable on the heart one)

All actionscript is commented and instructions are included on how to use these mouse trails with your files (very easy!).

Please note: that these mouse trails can only be used within a swf file, it is not possible (as far as I know) to use them above HTML content. If you want them to cover the whole page you will need all of your content within the flash file.

Dude I love it! Especially the snow!

Thatâ€™s really cool.

Version 1 looks like this guys shoulder I used to work with.

I bought him a bottle of dandruff shampoo for Christmas.

But it didn’t clean up all the flakes on the floor around his desk.

How hard would it be to have one of these particle animations follow a path and not just the mask. Say I draw a S curved line, would it be possible to have the particles automatically follow that curve and loop?

Do you mean instead of following the mouse movement they follow a predefined path? and the particles rise/fall from that path?

That would require changing the file a fair bit. I can have a go at it when I get some free time if you’d like?

If you just want e.g. the bubbles to float up in an s-curve instead of straight up, that would be quite easy.

If the bubbles could float up in a s-curve that’d be great! Would it be a simple addition to your file?

strillogy, you would just need to edit one movie clip (bubble_mc). It’s a motion tween of a bubble floating up, so you’d just have to change it so that the bubble went in a curve. If you have trouble doing that once you’ve purchased the file, just leave me a message here with your email address and i’ll help you.
