SANTA CLAUS ANIMATION (AS2 - XML)

HomeBrowse CategoriesFlashAnimationsSanta Claus Animation (AS2 - XML)

It´s Christmas and Santa Claus is ready for it… but, Will Santa let the presents on time?

  • This project can be used as a cartoon animation or as a Christmas flash card.

  • The animation has a resolution of 800×600 pixels, but it can be easily modified from the Flash file.

  • This animation uses AS2 and XML .
    There are two XML files which let´s you to modify the final text of the animation dinamically and put your logo or image (jpg, png or swf) into the greeting card, without editing the flash file directly.

  • Most part of the animation is a motion tween based and It runs at 30 FPS .

  • Most of the elements are well organized in the Flash Library and are vectorial, except the transparent texture, which is also included in PSD and PNG file format if you need to resize it.

  • I hope you can enjoy and send this animation to many of your friends or clients on this coming season… and of course, I wish you a Merry Christmas! :) Ho ho ho!

    To everyone,

    I always include instructions as a part of the download. This time wasn´t the exception.

    Unfortunately, I haven´t considered a novice users on my target or those people without any knowledge on Flash.

    For those guys who have a little bit experience on Flash, I am sure the first package contained enough intructions to manipulate the file. They won´t have any problem to modify some of the features.

    But as Ramfrancis wrote me in an e-mail, I must consider two markets for my next files: experts and novices, and that´s why I decided to upload instructions for novices.

    I am thankful for your words and I appreciate all your comments (positives and negatives),

    I want to increase the user rating on this file from 4 stars to 5 stars. I want my clients to be 100% satisfied :D

    Hi Swmasson, I am not sure if I understood well your question. As I know the flash player can not be displayed on an e-mail, since most e-mail providers such as hotmail, yahoo or gmail will block this activeX. Outlook will block this feature by default.
    If you are saying that you sent a link to your animation, and your logo and text are not appearing, there are a different possible causes:

    1.- Be sure you upload all the files neccesary
    2.- Check the image and the xml file path location. This is a frequently mistake
    3.- If you modified the actionscript of the flash file, you must be sure to put the files in the new location
    If you are still having problems, send me an e-mail with the link of your animation to see what the possible error is. :)

    For some reason, I keep expecting to hear the Mission Impossible theme whenever I sample the preview. Go Figure. Nice work :)

    Love this! I would like to design each billboard separately. Not sure where the code is that makes the logo appear.

    Posted 23 days ago

    I bought this and for whatever reason, after loading it on the website, it will not show the logo or the end text, even though the XML files are in the same directory.

    Posted 20 days ago

    Atrimble, of course you can edited by duplicating the movieclips which loads the logo. This can be manually and deleting the code (using flash) or dinamically, but you must modify the XML . :)

    Ookami007, This is not possible, un less you modify the xml files and forgot something. Please send me an e-mail and I´ll try to help you. :)
