View 4 RepliesI needed to convert a simple graphic symbol into a movie because I wanted to give it depth using the (gradient bevel) filter effect. The movie has to appear at different sizes in my animation but the filter effect does not scale with the symbol. Is there a way to make this filter effect (gradient bevel) scale when I scale the symbol it is applied to?
View 2 RepliesI'm having trouble getting any of my adobe software to produce a drop shadow without pixelating the image. I'm working with FL but I've tried PS and IL and everytime it ends up looking like an 8 bit graphic. It happens with all the preset effects. The laptop I'm using has a 4 gigs of RAM and a core duo with a 512 MB graphics card How can I set my software to produce the highest quality effects?
View 1 RepliesI've created a search with a couple of comboboxes that allow users to filter their search results. The results are currently using a TileList & itemRenderer to display, and now I'd like to add an animation effect when the user filters their results. I know that you can use the itemsChangeEffect to create an animation effect when the user drags and moves result itmes. So I'd like to know if there's a way to create a similar effect triggered by the filtering on the comboboxes?
View 1 Replieshow would I change the speed of the effect and slow it down.The problem is I'm only changing the strength of glowfilter from 0 to 2 on a mouseover, and since the code adds one 1 to it every frame, its a little choppy.[code]

View 6 RepliesTo achieve a zoom effect in our 2D flash game, we make the background of the game much bigger than the visible stage. This becomes a problem when the background is complex or when we apply a grayscale filter to the background. Is there a better way to do zoom? Or, is there a way to apply the filter to only a specific area of a movieclip?

And I want to insert it into the classes which have a role of server communicating.
I have done some full Flash and actionscript 3.0 based web sites, so I feel very comfortable working on it but this weekend I decided to learn After Effects CS4 and a question immediately popped up, so I decided to ask the experts.
View 3 RepliesI bought Production Premium so that I can make movies. But today I need a website topper (just a little motion graphic 850X226) I made my graphic that I like in After Effects, but now I need to put it in flash so it will play smoothly as a website title. It is importing at WAY too large of a file size when I import it into my website as a movie (>2MB) And how to make it into flash.
I tried "exporting" my comp as a .swf but the swf isn't playing parts of my video are not playing (certain effects and lights). what I need to do to get my title bar to play on a website perfectly.
i always loves to create aura/particle effects in flash while creating some website, I always use after effect to create them, but it's a little heavy side.I was wondering is there any way to make it lighter in weight so it could faster the loading time?URL...

View 1 RepliesI made a flash animation of a character walking, exported it as .swf, made sure it worked in the flash player, and imported it into After Effects. I used keyframes to map out where I wanted my character to walk. I played it back, first using space bar, then using 0, and my character didn't animate.
I didn't script anything. I was trying to follow these directions to create a walk animation[url]...
At step 4 the guy said, " I won't delve into how to create each frame of the cycle because for one thing, you can have a look at the fla. that I enclose at the end of the tutorial, and for another it's not that hard. I'm sure you can do that!" I didn't download his project because I already know how keyframes work, I knew what I needed to do to make my animation walk the way I wanted it to walk. From there I right clicked on the movie clip, clicked "Export SWF...", and named it.
How can I can I get my character to animate when I preview my work in After Effects? Was there something I should have done while in Flash to make it work in After Effects?

View 6 RepliesI got a web banner made from a person in india and I was trying to examine the fla file. In the library there are four .swf movie files and I don't think they were made in the adobe flash software as they would have taken all day to do. Is there a program out there that can quickly make cool text effects with a transparent background and then be able to import the finished txt effect into adobe flash and use in the fla file?
The banner I am relating to can be downloaded here [URL] and the text effects that I am talking about are
Movie1.swf
Movie2.swf
Movie3.swf
Movie4.swf
I just need to know how to make a flash banner almost exactly like the one in the link. I would make it my own of coarse, but I need my banner to be the same size and same effect when the pictures change. I need to know how to make the photo's change from one to another, and how to make the transition effect as the photo's are changing. Here's the link to the banner I need to know how to make. [URL].
View 2 Replieswhile ago I made a created a basic effect in Flash CS4 whereby a selection of logos on my web-page gradually disappeared (in the same spot, not shrinking in size first or any other of the effects displayed in the motion presets) think this was done by some kind of preset but it doesn't seem to be in the motion presets panel. I can not seem to remember how it was done and I can't find the relevant settings. I don't know ActionScript so it was definitely a preset.Enclosed are some screen shots of the effect that I mean (stages every few seconds until they completely disappear).
View 1 RepliesI am now trying to make a flash intro for my web site.I have downloaded some free templates for the same and examined them.Some special effects, means colour abstrract moving effects or explosion like effects are in that 'fla' file.They appear as movie clips. I can export them as flv also.How they are created? Is it in flash itself or from some other programs like after effects or something?I would like to create such effects for myself. If it is not in flash, then there is no point in wasting time figuring out the methods by myself.

I'm having a real bad time with Flash CS5, mostly by how it is exporting stuff and is unable to seemingly work with After Effects CS5, the other big program I use in my workspaceIt seems that anytime I include text into my Flash file in CS5, I am alerted that the text layout has been exported to an external file at which point it will not be imported correctly with any animation in After Effects I've read that this has something to do with the new CS5 TLF mode.

View 1 RepliesI am using Flash CS5 to generate an array of the notes in a midi file. Basically I store data such as time of the note, note duration, pitch, scale, volume, etc.I have 2 questions:How can I export all these data in order to use it in after effects (as a txt file? other formats?);How do I use the exported file in After Effects later on: How do I tell After Effects when to start playing a note in a specific time? how do I associate note height with a specific feature (lets say - square width) - and so on.I DO know some basic coding in after effect (how to associate elements inside After - such as volume and opacity) but I need to understand how to deal with an exported file (and in which format to generate it).
View 1 Repliesmy sister asked me to do smth for her that let me scratch my head: she wants to make a signature text in a forum and wants to add sound to this signature so when her post is shown the sound will play in background together with her text signature.
I'm not sure this could be done in flash? is there a way to have some jpeg image with sound effect? or should it be a video? maybe forums restrict adding a flash doc as a signature?

I read the article about complex button RollOver/RollOut effects ([URL].. but i found that when i press ctrl+enter to view the button the animation plays to the last frame and doesnt go back to the start until i rollover it, then it resets and works properly. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how i can fix it? Im using flash MX. Also, how can i change the hit area for a button that's been made this way?
