Well, a lot of peopl messaged me to send them the glowing trail code so I have decide to make a tutorial on it..
Ok, so this requires Actionscript 2.0.
Well u can download the code here.
http://www.truploader.com/view/617233
Then to animate it.
1. Open the movieclip Excaliber.
2. Inside it delete layer 1 and 2.
3. Create a new layer inside it.
4. Place the sword or whatever inside it.
5. Unloack Layer 5 and select its frame.
6. Move the selected in the middle of the sword or weapon.
7. Save your project.
8. Go back to your animation now just animate the Excaliber Frame by Frame and test your movie.

Note:This code mostly works on a gray background. It only works sometimes on a white background.
If you want to change the trail colour open Excaliber and select the toppest frame with the action script and press F9. Youll get this code

function onEnterFrame()
{
sword.onEnterFrameFunc();
} // End of the function
sword.alpha = 50;
sword.rgb = 25000;
sword.lineMC._visible = false;
sword.queueLen = 5;

sword.alpha = 50; Means how much darker or lighter the trail should be.

sword.rgb = 25000; Means what is the colour of the trail.This one means blur ill post more colour codes.

sword.lineMC._visible = false; This code means that everything other than the trail should not be seen.

sword.queueLen = 5; This means how long a trail will last during the animation. Here it will last for 5 frames bu the best one is 3.

So here it is I hope you enjoy.
If you have any questions post them here and I will reply the answer.


Good Luck.

Awesome! ^o^ you are amazing. now people who are too lazy to make a drawn trail can use this. you have helped us all.

Nice . ^_^

If anyone uses this code again. Uses this FUCKING CODE again. Uses this code the one millionth ****ing time after it was in EVERYONE'S ANIMATIONS FOR 1 YEAR after ghostfight. This unoriginal, shitty, overused, non-useful, shitty crutch of a code, I will bitch.

I will bitch ENDLESSLY and annoy the HELL out of you in your thread.

Your thread where you animate 60 frames of animation, paste a code on top and call it original.

This code SUCKS. EVERYONE STOP USING IT.

Who said it was mine. I just found it on the internet so i posted it for people to see. The original credit goes to Fluidanims. I found it there and please dont use obusive words here.

Damn . ._.

I never said it was yours either. I said you pasted the ghost fight code ontop of your own animation and called that original. It isn't, it's shitty and annoying.
The credit doesn't go to fluid anims, it goes to the chinese guy who made ghost fight (forgot his name) and he was originally a member here.

This is no way to help people at all. This is a way to supply people with shitty effects so they can coat their uneducated choppy shitty animations with the jazzhands that is this code.

Some people can't be bothered to draw loads of trails.

I never thought this looked good, apart from JS's or Hyuns animations, but its OK on tests and stuff.

thanks kieran...........

Those people shouldn't be animators then. If they can't be troubled to draw and actually EXPECT to do something with an artform like this then they're never going to be good at it.

Trails can be done in better, less gay forms anyway.

Oh wow! You are really awesome man. Now I am getting more excited regarding flash. I am in a first learning stage and I think I had to do some practice now and get expertise regading what I learned from this forum. This is really awesome forum.

thankz.....
