Heres one on animating text in AE, and exporting is as vector text to Flash

https://library.creativecow.net/articles/brimelow_lee/ae4flash1.php

What i usually do is export my AE created graphics / animations as image sequences, then bring them into flash that way. Or i embed them on the timeline as FLV’s. Hope this helps a little

thanks again all of you for your responses advice thus far…

Heres where im at, using the code below

threshold = 5.0;
level = thisComp.layer(“Audio Amplitude”).effect(“Both Channels”)(“Slider”);
control = effect(“mouthOnOff”)(“Checkbox”) ;

if (level > threshold){
control == 0
}else{
control == 1

}

This code seems to work great as far as determining the pauses in speech, however the mouth does not open and close nearly enough during the speaking.. note: im not looking for 100% perfection, but something somewhat convincing. so when the level > threshold i need the value you to alternate between 0 (mouth open), and 1 (mouth closed). I tried inserting a loop here (see attempt code below), but its not working out. ideas anyone?

Attempt code here:

threshold = .5
level = thisComp.layer(“Audio Amplitude”).effect(“Both Channels”)(“Slider”);
control = effect(“mouthOnOff”)(“Checkbox”) ;

if (level > threshold){

for (i =0; i<5; i++){
control == 1
control == 0
}
}else{
control ==1
}

THANKS AGAIN!

Thank you so much everybody for the quick responses. I love the cow.. I will try out some of your suggestions and let you know how it goes. Thanks again!

Seems that there are a few layers of multiple images spread out randomly (i would image created in Photoshop). These layers zoom in (3d camera along z axis, or scale) while blurring and becoming opaque) the bubbles could be achieved by a simple solid with a circle mask, feathered and add a glow effect. Maybe Particular to generate multiples instances. Just my two cents. Definitely cool though. I just wish he didnt use the generic flv player skin on his left column videos.
