My problem: I have an FLV video that I need to add hardcoded subtitles to. I know that it's possible to add subs via XML but this is no good, I need them to be part of the video file itself. I tried (stupidly it seems) to use flash to load in the FLV to the timeline & add subtitles to another layer - but exporting issues & time-synching problems scuppered such an approach. So I need some proper video editing software. I have Adobe Premier v2 but it doesn't seem to support FLV input/output natively..
1) Convert FLV to AVI
2) import AVI to video editing software
3) Add subtitles
4) Export AVI file
5) Convert back to FLV
I imported a video into flash and have a transparent photoshop layer to create an iPod skin. The video works fine, but I cannot get the "stage" to be transparent so that you do not see the flash background color behind the iPod skin.
I've read in the forums and have followed the instructions here from Adobe. If you look at my code, I have

I'm trying to draw PNGs onto BitmapData that is transparent.
I create my BitmapData like this (using ARGB for the color):
new BitmapData(width, height, true, 0x00000000);
And clean it by using the same ARGB value:
bitmapData.fillRect(bitmapData.rect, 0x00000000);
When I use copyPixels() to draw graphics onto the cleaned BitmapData, I get this result:
If I don't use ARGB for the BitmapData color, it works fine:
But I have to specify a solid fillColor, meaning I can't render what's behind the Bitmap.
How can I make my BitmapData transparent, but not have the above occur?
I am creating a map in flash cs4 with all the countries on it. I used photoshop for creating the map and separated countries. Now I imported all pngs in Flash and I want to give Mouse CLICK event and Mouse Hover on all pngs, but as the transparent pixels are overlapping the other states, it is getting difficult. So, I converted all pngs in movieclips and now then I broke up pngs. Now I want to delete all pixels having alpha 0 using eraser tool, as per the borders. And I have to do it manually for individual countries. So is there a way to remove transparent pixels from the bitmap data?
View 2 RepliesI have two png's that kind of look like paint brush strokes. they have some transparency in them that lets the stage colour bleed through a bit.
I am adding two of these images to the stage in AS 3. One adds quite fine - looks as expected. The second one however doesn't have any transparency other than around its edges. What i mean is it looks more like GIF than a PNG. Rough around the edges, no transparency "inside" the image itself (where there should be)
i have tried re-creating the image (yes it IS a PNG) which did nothing. I ensured the library item is not being treated as a JPEG. I also even tried externally calling the PNG to see if that made a difference. Unfortunately it did not.
why this second PNG doesn't seem to have a transparency set?
i am making a quiz. My problem is that once the user completes the quiz and wants to start again the quiz is already on the last question. How do i make it so that once the user clicks start again the questions and answers arrays start from the beginning, sort of reset themselves.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to broaden my horizons with it and so I'm trying to do an update of a quiz program my employer has. Everything has worked well, except for the timer. The button that starts the game has two options, "study" or "exam"; if the study is selected, there is no countdown, just the score keeper. If the exam option is selected, the timer is show (counting up). But, press "Start" and while the quiz begins, the timer, in either case, does not.
I'm going to post the actionscript for the timer that was already there, as well as the start button. I'm hoping someone can explain how this timer is supposed to work and why it's not; and where the disconnect lies in pressing the start button and making it run.The timer is embedded in a movie clip, with two dynamic text boxes, that are for some have no instance name; and actionscript spread out over several frames.Frame 1:
Minutes = "00";
Seconds = "00";
Centiseconds = "00";

Here is the action scrip that I created. Correct it if you can.
Process.visible = false;
Cycles.visible = false;
stop();

View 2 RepliesI'm the admin for this site (in swedish) and I'm thinking of redesign it soon.I thought Flash would be one of the best ways for the "square menu" but I wanted to ask you before i decide. Here's some pro's and con's Ive come up with
smaller file size?
easier then fiddling with alot of divs
more options to make cool animations
no need to use gif or pgn to get a transparent bg
I have an XML file that loads in JPG images great, but if I try to load either a PNG or GIF instead of a JPG - it simply does not load at all.Does ActionScript & Flash not allow for transparent files, or even these formats of images to be brought in via XML file?BTW:I used this tutorial, step 1-9, and all works well but if I change the images to my personal PNG - the only thing that displays is the preloading bar as if the file just doesn't want to file/load the image. The text does come in though.
View 4 RepliesSo you've got a transparent png. Rather than importing that png with its alpha channel, I've always assumed it's better to import it with a black or white matte, then use Flash's blend modes (lighten, darken, screen, multiply) to show the transparency.Am I right on this, or does it make no difference in terms of cpu usage?I do believe that in terms of filesize, the matte saves quite a bit over the alpha channel.
View 5 RepliesA friend and I are working on a Flash game. He is programming it and needs the different character animations in SWF form. The problem is when he places them in-game, they are surrounded by the white block that was behind the character animation.
How do you make the background of the SWF/flash file transparent so they white block will no longer be visible. I know how to do it in HTML for the web, but this must be different.
I have made a slideshow from this tutorial: [URL]
I have added a reflection, and it works just great. But i would like to make the right and the left side fade to transparent. I have tried to make a little demo here: [URL]
The first movie looks good, but only because I have faded from nothing to black and the background is black on the home page. And as you can see, the movie does not look that great, when the background is white.
I found this link: [URL], but I can't figure out how to implement it into my already "working" slideshow.

On the opening of the map where it shows a transparent red spreading would you create the growing red transparent area over the map in the Pacific with transparent shape tween. Also any tutorials on doing this.

View 2 RepliesI have a BitmapData object created dynamically that contains user-drawn shapes. I then attach that BitmapData object to a MovieClip via a Bitmap object and set that MovieClip as a mask to another MovieClip. The mask works but the whole bounding rectangle of the BitmapData is acting as the mask. But I want to exclude the transparent portion from the mask so only user-drawn shape can be set as mask. Can anyone tell how to achieve that?
