I’m reading the book Flash Hacks by Sham Bhangal now… although this book is more than 5 years old and written with Flash MX in mind, the techniques are invaluable even today…
One hack described in this book is the pageflip effect. I know this has been around for a looooong time…but i’m not able to find any good tutorials on how to do this…there are a few commercial pageflip effects available and look really very good and are also highly customizable…
I’m working basing on the idea provided in the book and trying to develop a more advanced pageflip application …
You can read the original tutorial from here.
The technique behind this is really simple once reading the tutorial…so what i’m trying to do now is add some extra effects and features to the raw effect created in the book. Here is the original sample:
In this original version, the page curls at the start of the application…so i’ve made a small change so that the page curls when the mouse is at the right hand corner….here is my updated application…right click to download the fla:
In the next version i’ll try to add the reverse flipping and pages on both the sides…as you can see currently the pages are displayed only on the right hand side…
