View 1 RepliesCurrently one of our teams suffers from a very strange phenomena: after manipulating the z property of a MovieClip and changing the stage quality some event listeners of nested MovieClips seem to disappear (or at least not react to the proper events any longer).
The problem also only appears when doing both, changing the stage quality and manipulating the zproperty.
Here is a simple class demonstrating the issue:
package {
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.Graphics;

When publishing a project from Camtasia Studio 7, the params list includes a setting for quality. But instead of the usual "high" value, it sets it to "best". I Google'd and searched these forums but had no luck finding any definitive explanation if these two settings are equivalent. Can anybody enlighten? This topic also spurred another question, does the quality default to the highest value if the parameter value is invalid?
View 2 RepliesDoes anyone know if it is possible to set the quality of a particular movie clip rather than the entire flash movie?
For example, say i wanted to start a drag of a movie clip. So when it started, the quality of that particular movie clip would be set to 'low' then when the drag is stopped it is set back to 'best'
I want to create another button on the main menu of my flash site. I want to take one of the existing buttons (which are set as movie clips) and modify it to show a different menu name and page link. BUT when I go into my library and "duplicate" my movie clip, change the instance name, drag it to the stage and attempt to modify it, the original changes as well. I need to keep the original the same and create a new one with the same code, frames, etc but with different static text. I keep going in circles
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to control a Flash movie from JS when you have no control over the source? I have decompiled the movie to see its inner workings, but I know nothing about Flash, so I'm mostly in the dark. I found this resource, Interaction with JavaScript, but it's not working for me (probably because I don't know what message to send to the movie).

View 1 RepliesI'm not sure if this is even possible but just in case. I'd like to make a movie clip's quality low without affecting the quality of the whole movie. Is that possible?My problem is that I have pixel fonts being used in dynamic fields and they get all fuzzy because of the stupid anti-aliasing.
View 1 RepliesI'm having a flickering issue with a text control. Here's the context: I have a title which is represented by a Text control (no Label cause it needs to be able to be displayed in several lines). When the user rolls over the title, the text has to be underlined. What I have done: I've set listeners to the title's rollover and rollout events to something like this:

I have a logo which I have created in photoshop, it is made up of 4 layers, some of which I want to animate. I create my movie, I do so by opening my PSD file and then animating the layers. However I have a problem in that when I view my movie the image quality is poor, and there is what I would describe as noise around some of the image.
View 1 Repliesmy flash movie looks great when it is in it's .swf format. However, when I use the export to .avi option it comes out as REALLY horrible quality. Exporting to quicktime does nothing. I've been looking online and have only found people having the same problems with no solution. I've tried several conversion programs to just convert the swf to avi, but all of them are bad. They're all great in quality but half are fast by a good 30 seconds in sound and the other half replaces my black background to white! People use flash everyday & obviously overcome such a simple problem!
View 1 RepliesFor my movie, I plan to have 4 buttons, low, med, high, and auto. I want to specify the points in the movie where the quality should be lowered for slower computers (auto button). The beginning of the slow part would be MED quality and then after it's passed, I want to reset it back to BEST.
Code:
_quality = "MEDIUM";
_quality = "BEST";
But how do I get the other 3 (low, med, high) buttons not follow the path I set for the auto quality?
When I try to publish my movie to a GIF format, it shows up very fuzzy and low quality.
View 2 RepliesI have designed a Flash animation for a client who has asked me to also provide it in a format which can be used in a film he wants to produce in Apple Final Cut Pro. I assumed the best format would be QuickTime but whenever I export the Flash file in to QuickTime the quality of the film is awful - the graphics leave fragments of themselves behind as they move (if that makes sense?!) and the overall quality isn't very crisp.
View 2 RepliesIm working on a Dragonball Z MMO. things are goin great so far utilizing Flash PHP and MySQL. but thats not the issue right now.Im running tests of the battle system. i have the enemy set up as Mr. Popo (character from the series) The quality of the sprite appears great and in good color.however, when i compile everything into the final .swf, the movie clip appears diminished, discolored, and just really crappy looking.[code]it only happens to this movie clip in particular, any insite would be grossly appricated.
View 1 RepliesTWO PROBLEMS: THE FIRST ONE: I have one Button instaced botao01 Inside this button i have a animation, with to words alternating in a mask, each one word is a MC with instace names:
txt01_bt01 and txt02_bt01 This two MC have ONLY the text "home" inside, with one frame... its only a MC of a static text All flash have some objects, and this objects change the colors with some variables.... and this works fine. I want to change the colors of this static texts too. BUT when i put the command to change the color of the movie clip txt01_bt01, he really change the color BUT he lost the animation, the movement, he dont have more the movement!

When I press command + option + enter, the graphics looks very good but when I look at the quick time mov I saved, its so bad. It's fine if I 'drag' the quick time window to the smallest but when I look at it in full screen mode, the picture is so bad... What can I do to improve the quality?

1) In the attached file, I have a movie clip that quickly comes across the top of the screen (following a short distance). I want it to start out with 0 alpha and i want it to fade in to 100 alpha. However, I want to do this using Actionscript while I'm EASING the movie clip. I'm trying to NOT use the timeline and do automated tweens for this function. If I combine them, it compliles but the output gets all messed up.
2) The quality of the text shown as the movie clip is not the same as how it looks in FLASH. I jacked up the quality of the output to 100% and it's still the same. any reason why?
I've made a slide show and I've been successful so far. However, I'd like to add some thumbnails right below the original image (original size).Here are some specifications of the thumbnails:Size: 50 x 50 px.The image sources of the thumbnails and the original image are the same.Therefore, I'd like to resize only the movie clips for the thumbnails because the actual image file dimensions won't be changed.I tried simply setting the width and height of the movie clip to 50 but it lost quality and you get jagged lines in the image. Does anyone know a good algorithm to resize an image inside a movie clip proportionally and without losing quality?Btw, I'm using an XML files to store the images so you have to include the Loaders and stuff, what I really need to know is how to resize images without losing quality.

The movie was designed in several flash files, each has been combined into a single movie clip and then all the movie clips have been moved into the master document.
Each movie clip is on a single slide.
They play through and when a clip reached the end I have used the actionscript root.gotoAndPlay(x) where x is the slide number of the next clip in the sequence as such my timeline looks like this[code]...
I modified the loadBar from one of the popular preload scripts out there. What I am making is a progressbar, sorta like the ones you see in movie previews. But it doesn't seem to o work quite right. Here's what I have: interface.swf - dynamically loads the movie.swf's into itself and will control the movie (when I get around to it). it has the loadBar object

I have to make a flash movie that would allow the user to control the framerate of the movie. Unfortunately I'm not that good with flash and I don't know how that could be done ..I thought about something like
"on(press){
movieclip.increaseframerate(*2);
}"
Is it possible to have one swf movie control the content of another swf movie?
View 3 RepliesI'd like to control a movie clips current frame by another movie clips action script.I realise the following controls the outside (root) frame time line:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndStop(1);
}
but I'm not sure how to apply that to my other movie clip. I'm guessing it would be something like this:
on(release){
_*movie_clip_name*.gotoAndStop(1);
}
Basically I am making a Side Scrolling game for a Uni Assignment and I was wondering if:You could change a movie clip into another oneFor example I have 3 animations, 1 of a guy running, 1 of a guy standing still and 1 jumping.I was wondering how to get it so he stays still when nothings being pressed but while left/right is held down, it switches to the running man?
