Q: Spinning Can

**Egg Bramhill** · 27 July 2009, 06:57 PM

Very impressive Fred. Thanks for sharing. We'll need more than one Speckled Hen though

A can of Old Speckeled Hen.
I used Ahkors method, applying transparency to the label overlaps. Works well but a lot of Cut & Paste on Frames.

File attached if they are any use to anyone.

I think I'll drink a couple of cans now, thirsty work this.

Cheers,
Fred.

Yes it is a lot of work. I wish there was a way to import the animation gif
frame by frame in the frames that are there already. But I haven`t found a way yet, so this is the way I have to do it. Maybe in the future, that you can
import the gif in the frames of another gif in XX5, would be handy.

Oh, I forget to congratulate you on the beercan, very well done.
I hope it is cool, the beer, or are you one of the blasphemers who
drink their beer luke warm

Old Speckeled Hen is is fine British ale, must be drunk at room temperature, 15 to 20. On ice - No way

Nice warm beer

Icy cold lager

Strange British thing I suppose.

Cheers,
Fred.

P.S. Another can calling.

Very well done, Ron!

Thanks Bill,
why is there a lot of white space around my image? I checked the pixel size of the file object and included that when posting the flash image.

**Soquili** · 01 August 2009, 02:37 PM

Ron I don't know why there is so much white space. I verified the size of the can and the width and height values in the post. I think we will need to wait until Sledger wakes when it becomes daytime again in Australia.

Okie dokie, Bill. Thanks.

Ron I just noticed you have set 50% zoom in your file.

I've switched it to 100% and exported to flash just to see if that makes a difference when attached on the forums.
