Hi

I would like to know how to create an opening envelope effect after you click on the stamp.

I saw just one tutorial about that but it didn't work and the envelope it wasnt on the front position.

Here's a link to a CS5 file I made that demos 2 possible ways to approach it using AS3 to animate the flap.  One important element of both these approaches is the location of the registration points for the flaps (at the top).  The first approach gradually changes the scaleY property of the flap, which would have been an approach to take before CS4 introduced 3 dimensional properties. The second approach gradually changes the rotationX property.

Thanks a lot!!

Would you mind to tell what¹s the best place to learn action script through

examples?

As I said I¹m trying to do something similar to that ecard but I¹ve been

trying to find tutorials to help me with that.

Now you help me with the opening envelope but I still have to find how to

trig events such as show decoration, lights on mouse event.

What is the tutorial you saw that did not work?  What would such an animation look like from the stamp-side of the envelope?
