ALAN BECKER - Camera Movement (revamped)

Flash vCams here: bitey.com/smf/index.php?topic=...
Or copy/paste from here:
ActionScript 2.0:

import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
var cameraTrans:Transform = new Transform(this);
var stageTrans:Transform = new Transform(this._parent);
var w:Number = Stage.width;

stageTrans.colorTransform = cameraTrans.colorTransform;
var stageMatrix:Matrix = cameraTrans.matrix;
stageMatrix.invert();
stageMatrix.translate(w*.5, h*.5);
stageTrans.matrix = stageMatrix;
};
ActionScript 3.0:
var cameraTrans:Transform = new Transform(this);
var stageTrans:Transform = new Transform(parent);
visible = false;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateStage);
function updateStage(...rest) {

[@jjkmovies]

I just make sure every shot in my movies are inside their own symbol. Keeps the timeline organized AND gives me the benefit of dragging it around or scaling it up like a camera.

[@jacobbowitz]

Yea I used to do that as well but I have learned that a v-cam is easter to work with.

[@JTriggerVideos]

+Jacob Kitts I do that as well. I still use a V-cam for camera shakes and snap zooms, but having the whole movie inside a symbol is very useful for parallax scrolling and just overall perspective.

[@MB_0101]

Is there any tutorial on how to do that?

[@StudioCRJ]

@M B I could make one if you're interested still.

wow. a year ago, when i started using flash, I saw your tutorials and I didn't learned a thing. Now, I this is being pretty helpful to my animations.

[@coolbrotherf127]

I'm so glad they added built in camera controls into the new Adobe Animate. It's a lot easier than having to set up all of that stuff every time.

[@locikoqisu7984]

Your tutorials have always been very helpful to me! Without your help I might not make such smooth animation I am making now and your animations are the best animation I ever seen! Keep up the good work!

[@Ashley-rw5jk]

Ugh my gosh Alan thank you so much for all these informative tutorials and tips, it seriously helps out

[@nny33]

this tutorial has 4 years but it still was more useful than anything I've found about animate, Thank you!!

[@pep-o-butt672]

What is AS3?

[@bbpanzu213]

Did you put the action inside the frame of the vcam, or did you put it on the vcam's main MC. Make vcam, convert to symbol, double-click on the symbol, click on frame, F9 (actions panel, Paste action

When I try doing this on ActionScript 3.0 in Animate CC 2015, my animation somehow ends up in the corner of the video, cropped. My version of Animate/Flash does /not/ have a built-in camera, and for some reason Creative Cloud doesnt let me update the program :/ Does anyone know why my video ends up in the corner?

Yu Hung Goh ya you should download products only from their main website not a third party website. Im guessing the webstite is called softonics or something. Never download from them

you're probably copying the wrong one, try the other one that you didn't use instead. if it doesn't work, try double clicking the v-cam and then pasting the script there.
