In this tutorial, I will show how to create Zoom Radial Blur Effect in Flash. To create this tutorial you have to use Action Script and photoshop. This tutorial is very complicated to explain, but I'll try on to be clear as possible. In this lesson, you will also learn how to aligned image and more.
Example:
Befor you open the Flash and go to work, you must to prepare a pictures. We need two pictures. One "normal" picture, and another one which is Radial Blur (In Photoshop: Filter > Blur > Radial Blur > Zoom > 85px). Look at the picture below!


For this example, I recommend to download my pictures:
Normal picture
Radial Blur picture
Step 1Open a new Flash document. Select Modify > Document (shortcut key: Ctrl+J). Set the width of your document to 380 pixels and the height to 285 pixels. See the picture below.

Step 2Choose File > Import > Import to Library and import the "normal" and "Radial Blur" picture into the Library.
Step 3Open the Library (Ctrl+L), and using "drag and drop technique", drag the "normal" picture on the stage.
Step 4Go to the Align panel. If it isn't opened already, just select Window > Align or press Ctrl+K to open it.While the image is still selected do the following in the Align panel:
1. Make sure that the Align/Distribute to Stage button is turned on,
2. Click on the Align horizontal center button and
3. Click the Align vertical center button.
Step 5Create a new layer (layer 2), and from Library (Ctrl+L) move the "Radial Blur" picture on the stage.
After that, repeat step 4.
Step 6Take the Selection Tool (V) and click once on the picture (Radial Blur picture) to select it. After that press F8 key on the keyboard (Convert to symbol) to convert this picture into a Graphic Symbol. See the picture.
Step 7Choose frame 10 for both layers (layer1 and layer 2) and press F6 key. See the picture below.
Step 8Choose frame 20 for both layers (layer1 and layer 2) and press again F6.
Step 9Click on frame 20 of layer 2 and choose Modify > Transform > Scale.
Step 10Take the Toom Tool (M,Z), and zoom in the picture to get a "shooting star" a lot larger than it is. Be careful! When you do that, the "shooting star" must be inside of stage.
Step 11Select that larger picture, open the Properties Panel (Ctrl+F3), and for Color choose Alpha and set it to 0%. See the picture below.
Step 12While the Properties Panel is still open, see what the dimensions are W,H, X,Y and memorize that dimensions.
Step 13Go back on frame 10, and hide layer 2 ( layer of Radial Blur picture ).
Step 14While you're still on frame 10, select "normal" picture, open again the Properties Panel (Ctrl+F3), and under W,H;X,Y, type the number, that you have memorized in step 12.
Step 15Select the "normal" picture, press Ctrl+C key on the keyboard (Copy), click on frame 20 and press delete on the keyboard to delete a small picture. After that press Ctrl+Shift +V key (paste in place) to paste a large picture.
Step 16Click on frame 10 of layer 2 (layer of Radial Blur picture), and in the Properties Panel, below the scene, for Tween choose Motion, and for Ease choose 100. See the picture below.

Step 16Click on frame 30 of layer 1 and 2 and press F6 key. See the picture below.
Step 17Create a new layer above layer 2. After that click on the first frame of layer 1 and press Ctrl+C key (Copy). Then go back on the first frame of layer 3 and press Ctrl+Shift+V (Paste in Place).
Step 18Click on the first frame of layer 3, open the Action Script Panel (F9), and paste this script:
stop ();
Step 19Create a new layer above layer 3 and name it button.
Step 20Create some button, or use the original Flash Button like I have done! (Window > Other Panels > Common Libraries >Buttons. Open Library (Ctrl+L) and drag any button on the stage).
Step 21Select that button, open the Action Script Panel (F9) and paste this script:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(10);
}
Step 22For this example you can't test the Movie with Ctrl+Enter, because you must see this Movie in life size so, click on File > Export > Export Movie. Everything by default.
We're done.
