This is a great alternative to the traditional fade and shape transitions. It’s a pixelating effect that can be used on images and movieclips, simply by using Flash 8’s Bitmap data possibilities.
- You can change the size of the pixel, both the speed they grow with and the turning point (midway through).
- Is dynamical, this example loads three pictures from a folder.
- runs onEnterFrame, so no advanced tweening or timeline tweening.
NB: This example preloads all pictures before animating!
NOTE 100% Actionscript Based

AS2 files can’t be loaded into AS3 files. But, as2 files can be edited in Flash CS3 .

Hi.
so if i have a gallery of 20+ pics of say 200kb each, it must preload 4mb of pics before even movin?
i love the effect bout would love even more to have a dynamic loader for each image
thanks for any reply
Hi, it should be pretty easy to apply, in this case this was just the easiest because I just wanted to show the pixelating effect. If you know AS2 it should not be a problem to make it more dynamic.

can i used this transition to make a cross transition between a movie that is load it and a new movie that will replace the loaded it one?

Apologies I just rated this poor, a mistake, it’s a cool effect.
That said I can’t open it in flash 8 – I get the “Unexpected file format” error.
Not sure what the problem is as I’ve downloaded a couple of other tranisitions and they all opened fine, any ideas?

Please email me if there’s any trouble with the file and I will take a look 
Hi iliketoplay,
Great file and excellent notes in the actionscript.
Can you let me know how i can get the tansition to start with a mouse over.
Im currently using another file that imports the pixel transition and i want this to start when user mouse over the appropriate area.
else{
setTimeout(pixelTransition, 1000); //start the first transition after 1 second, change this to whatever you like – or put the action on a button
trace(“loadet all pics”
;
}
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and keep up the good work.

Hi, if I remember correctly, you can create a movieclip or button. Give it an instancename (ex: my_mc) and write something like:
my_mc.onRollOver = function(){ pixelTransition(); }

hey dont worry about last message, i managed to get to working with mouse over.
can you tell me how i can get the transition to stop once it has cycled all the images.
I have tried for hours but cant stop it.
thanks

To stop it, you have to change the pixelTransition function. Change the setTimeout to a setInterval – when you want to stop it use clearInterval.

Hi thanks for your comments but i have no idea of how to implement this into the code.
I changed the setTimeout to setInterval but where do i put the clearInterval.
Thanks

can this be done with files that are on a timeline…for example could I use this to pixelate a movie clip…or a series of images that I’ve used to create a movie clip keyframe to keyframe?
or can I simply preload lets say a series of twenty images and then set the timing so it appears to be a movie?

This version works with loaded pictures – to make it go from frame to frame a lot should be changed – so no, right now that is not possible.
If you want to experiment, maybe try saying that the flashplayer should move one frame each time the pictures change, at the same time you must initialize the new picture (in the frame you just landed in) as pixelated – not easy
but possible however…
