View 6 RepliesI have made a relatively short movie ( 90 frames ) and am trying to make it an animated gif so that I can attach it to emails. When export it everything looks crisp and smooth except the text looks awful - all pixelated. Increasing the resolution that the movie is exported at does The text looks horrible even at 300 dpi. How can I make the movie an animated gif and keep the font looking good? Is there any way to make it look as crisp as in the swf. I have tried different anti-aliasing settings but nothing seems to work.
View 4 Repliesis there a logic explanation why my flash projects when exported as an avi or quicktime etc etc the objects that were masked are not animated? and what do i have to do in order for project to be as i see it when i test the movie and it appears fine.
View 7 RepliesWhy I am getting errors when I export this flash file as a swf movie. It seems that the actionscript has "duplicate function definition" I do not understand where OI am going wrong.
View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip that needs to move to a location when a button is pressed. I need the movement to be animated rather then just jump to the location. I think it would have something to do with affecting the movieclips _x and _y but i can't figure out how to make it animated.
View 6 RepliesI'm mainly using Flash, but for this part I need Action Scrip code. So I have a MC that when I click on it it starts playing, but it only plays one time through, and I need it to continue playing over and over again. By the way I have a function for this MC to play, so what should I add to it?
This is basically my function
ActionScript Code:
public function playBird(e:MouseEvent):void
{
sky.bird.play();
}
I'm trying to create an animated movie clip button in AS2 using CS5. The button should fade in/out as the mouse moves over and away from the button.Lets say my frame rate is 30 FPS. When I insert a motion tween on frame 1, the timeline is automatically extended by 30 frames. I then select frame 30, select the button and change the alpha value to 30%. When I drag the head marker back and forth, the button fades in and out smoothly exactly as I wanted.But I want to create a motion tween between frame 1 and 10. So I select frame 10, insert a keyframe, select frame 5 and insert a motion tween. Then I select frame 10, select the button and change the alpha value to 30% like before. When I drag the head marker, there is no fade in/out. When the head marker is exactly over frame 10, the button is faded, but when it is on any frame between 1 and 9, it is normal.

View 12 RepliesI am building an interactive website as my final project for my Webmastering class and need to know one thing. First I'll give you my setup. I have four Movie Clips in four seperate layers on my main timeline. I want to export one of those Movie Clips as an avi file. When I use export>movie, it exports the main timeline. I figured it would do that. So then I opened up the Movie Clip that I want to export and tried the same thing again. No luck. how to remedy this situation. I have five days to do this and have spent about four days of my life working on this if you add up all the hours that I have spent working on this.
View 2 RepliesDoes anyone know how or if you can export a movie clip as a swf and save it somewhere on your hard drive/web space?
For example I have an application that has a movie clip of a christmas tree, the user drags various decorations on to the tree.
Is it possible to export the tree then to a swf they can download themselves?
I followed a tutorial to have a movie clip work as an animated menu for a website. One of the functions is set up as follows:
function do_this() {
this.gotoAndPlay("frame label");
gotoAndPlay("frame label");
}
So the animated menu is going to a specific frame in the movie clip while the site is going to the appropriate page. What I can't figure out is how to freeze the menu in the state that it goes to with this function so that it doesn't revert back once the mouse rolls out of the hit area. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
I have two arrows that control an animated movie clip that has words scrolling vertically. When you click on one arrow it plays the movieclip forward, and when you click on the other arrow it plays the movieclip backward. I want you to have to keep clicking on the forward arrow to have it continue animating through the different words. I've place stop actions at the points I want the movieclip to stop animating but when you click the forward or backword button it never stops and just plays through the whole thing. [URL]
View 6 RepliesI'm having some issues getting a button to work from ctionScript.I created a movie clip and export it. Added it to stage and that displayed fine. I then added some text on the movie clip, converted it to a button and exported it... but then hit a wall. The button is in the library, but it doesn't like the ' import fl.controls.Button;'
Here's the code:
package{ import flash.display.*; import flash.events.*; import fl.controls.Button; public class coffeeAS extends

I made a very nice movie clip that now resides in the library of my current working fla. I have an external class controlling it and all is fine.
However, I want to use this movie clip in another fla file as well. The method i have used now is to have both projects open, then manually copy the movie clip from one to the other.
Like exporting a movie clip to an "external file-database of movie clips" for importing it in other projects?
Whenever I export a .fla to an animated GIF, the resulting image looks rather pixelated. I've seen other GIF animations online that look less pixely than mine. Are there some settings that I don't know about?
View 2 RepliesI'm developing a touch-screen Flash application for a shoe store, and it runs fine initially, but slows down toward the end of the day. I've been diligent with removing event listeners and so on. I've now narrowed the problem to be very specific - it's one section of the application causing the problem, and one part of that section:
- I have a main movie clip which contains the animation, which itself contains 5 nested movie clips, each with their own timeline. All movie clips have a stop action on the final frame. images are transparent PNGs with outer glow "filter" - the issue is not with performance as such, but with CPU increasing over time. Each time you play the clip, there is a small amount of CPU usage that 'sticks' and doesn't get freed up. What happens is that if you play the movie clip many (MANY MANY) times, then eventually it starts to slow down. Mac's Activity Monitor shows that the idle CPU usage is increasing slowly, over many times of playing the clip. It's insignificant with each play, but adds up over time.
You may be inclined to say: oh filters effect CPU, so it will be slow - but it isn't slow until it plays many, many times. Initially it's fast. I've uploaded a .zip with .app and .exe versions of my problem section. There are two files of each type: AutoPlay.app (& .exe): plays the problem clip repeatedly (I've just removed the final 'stop();' frame), so you can leave it open and come back in half an hour to see it slowing down.
ClickToPlay.app (& .exe): Plays the problem clip once when you click the 'play' button, so you can click several times, let it return to idle, and verify that the idle CPU usage is in fact increasing.

I'm using as3 core library to do export a a movie clip into a jpeg. I can export the movie clip just fine, but I do come when I add a mask to the movieclip. When the jpeg is exported only the mask is visible. Heres how some of the code looks:
ActionScript Code:
//This is the movie clip created and imported to the Library then called again in AS3
var drawArea:DrawArea = new DrawArea();

Am I completely hallucinating or what ? That's several years I'm working with Flash, and today, i want to do the simplest animation ever, and it just doesn't work....I want to mask an animated clip with an animated mask (a shape animation), but every time the mask arrives at a keyframe, the clip restarts to the frame 1 !!I added a piece of code to see at which keyframe it is blocked, and at every mask keyframe, the code says 'TypeError: Error #1009: null property..

FLASH CS5 using Windows XP. I have created an animation that I want to export to sequence of .png files. The file has Symbols that contain embedded animations.
For instance, I have a flashing light in one Symbol. That is embedded in a bouncing police car Symbol. The police car Symbol (with the embedded flashing light) is brought onto a flat bed truck at the "scene" level which is driving down a road. It all looks nice if I render an internal swf file. However, when I export the individual frames, all that is rendered is the flat bed moving down the road. The bouncing car and the flashing light are there but without the animation of each.
how to export an animated sequence that include the animations embedded in its Symbols?

View 1 RepliesI am very new to ActionScript. I have a .fla file which contains the AS2 code for the frames. What I need to do is that I have to export this code as a separate file. There may be a separate file(or class file) for each frame code. Is it possible to me do it automatically without losing animation interactivity and functionality? Or is there any other way?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to export text from a text field, which has been created in Flash and export it into an external file such as a text file or Word document?The idea is that information will be collected by the user into a text field within the swf. Hopefully, this information can then be exported into an external file which will allow the user to work on and edit at a later stage. It needs to be a separate editable document. Is this possible? I'm using Flash 8.
View 1 RepliesSo as to make things less confusing (I had a lot of different layers), I made each scene in my animation in its own file. Now I want to put them in the same file, so I thought I could make everything in one file into a movie clip and put it into another file that way.
However, it doesn't seem to work! I can highlight everything, convert it, and paste it into the other file... but when I paste it, it only pastes the first frame of my highlighted selection! How can I convert the whole thing into a movie clip instead of just one frame?
I have followed the XML Video tutorial and everything works fine however Lee says you can use a movie clip to display the contents of the XML file instead of one of Flash's built in components. Is there a way to create your own drop down menu or simple text field?
