Chameleon photo effect

Today, I will explain you guys how to create trendy chameleon photo effect but not in photoshop, you have to use Macromedia Flash for this special tips and tricks. Ain't need any action script code to make this kinda trick.

Y'll also learn importing any photo into a flash stage, converting it into a movie clip symbol, applying flash filters on it, creating Motion Tween and much much much more! You can use this effect for some photo banner or for some other flash components! Let's start!

I use this image for sample:

Open a new flash document. Press Ctrl+J key, set the dimensions of your document. Mine is 700x525px. Use any desire color as background, frame rate to 37 and click ok.

On current layer photo. Double-click on its default name (Layer 1) to change it into My Car or something else you like.

Go to File > Import > Import to stage (Ctrl+R), import the photo you saved earlier into a flash stage. While photo is still selected, go to the Align Panel (Ctrl+K).

Photo is still selected, hit F8 key (Convert to Symbol) to convert it into a Movie Clip Symbol.

Click on frame 110 and 220 and hit F6 key. While you're still on frame 220, pick the Selection Tool (V) and click once on the photo to select it. Go to the Properties Panel (Ctrl+F3) below the stage. On right side, you'll see the Color menu. Select Adjust Color in it and make it like image below said:

Repeat obviously the previouse step also for frame 1. You can now do the Right-click anywhere on the gray area between frame 1 and 110 and frame 110 and 220 on the timeline and pick Create Motion Tween from the menu appears.

We're done now!


Test your movie (Ctrl+Enter).
