distress screen

[Tink]

hi

im looking for any effects u peeps have out there for distressing the screen of the user (like when your mobile rings etc.)

any files or help much appreciated.

o' yeah and heres a quick example dform (http://www.dform1shiftfunc.net/#) . if u enter this site (takes a while to load up) and move on & off or around the ship, every now and then the screnn distresses.

cheers & happy new year to all!

Are you doing the work on this?

I've got some buggy scripts, but they all display differently across platforms...

How about making an mC which throws out bg coloured spikes on call...?

[Tink]

would that pull off the effect im after u think?

did ya have a look at the effect on that site?

Yes, I have had a look, liked the effect!

Screen dump is attached.

No, I don't think it would look the same somehow, similarish maybe.

Another (of the many) option would be to import the bg image(s) as little strips (say 1 or 2 pixels high), make the bg an mC, then make a place where it pulls apart for a sec. Or you could bang strip masks (1 or 2 pixels high), over your mis-aligned bg (symbol) with an alpha effect.

Mind you, you wouldn't want to be too concerned by file size (as in your link) and screen rendering might be a bit slow depending on how you do it...
