View 7 RepliesI have animated a slideshow effect where one frame moves out teh way and another moves into framei am happy with it and now want to repeat it with all teh other images in the slideshowthe problem is, when i copy the keyframes (with a tween) on the first image that I did and try and paste them onto the 2nd image in my series, it actualy charges the image as well ! So that the second image becomes the firts image on the keyframes.Is there a way just to copy the opacity and motion animation ONLY ? My guess is there must be because to animate each picture by hand with a custom ease in & out curve would take forvever

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to work out a better way of doing this animation. I'm working on a project where I need to animate multiple robots picking up parts and dropping them. I've attached a quick demo of the kind of movement I need.At the moment I have a Part MovieClip inside a Robot MovieClip (so it will rotate with the robot) What I can't work out how to do smoothly is, how do I release this Part Movie Clip so I can transfer it to another robot & rotate it following the second robot.I can't seem to copy/paste the Part's last position from the 1st Robot's animation to the 2nd Robot without it changing scale/position. Leaving me to basically position a new copy of the Part MovieClip until it sort of lines up with the old parts and switching between the two in the timeline.

I am creating smiley faces and then copying them to a banner. I have two fla files open, one has the smiley in it and some layers of the smiley are made up of areas with a alpha setting of less then 100%.When I highlight all of the smiley and copy, then move to the other other open fla file that has a blue banner, and 'paste' the smiley pastes ok but all the areas that have an alpha setting of less than 100% have a blue shade to them from the banner. How do I prevent this and retain the colours I had?
View 1 RepliesI'd like to copy and paste a set of keyframes and frames at the end of the exisiting timeline... maybe several times to extend the timeline. However I've been a bit flumoxed as to how a simple chore like that is done. It does not appear one can copy the frames, then set the cursor at the end and past the frames ahead of cursor, Or do I have to create multiple layers to get the same effect by placeing them end to end down the timeline.
In the included screen shot, I'd like to copy/paste the frames on layer1 on down the time line but still on layer 1. As you can see I've started using layers to create the same effect... but is that really the way to do it?
I noticed that if you type in tab characters in a Textfield that has embedFonts equal to true and you copy and paste the complete text in that same Textfield, then you loose the tab characters. If no embedded fonts are being used then all works fine.

View 1 RepliesI have exported a movie made in premier pro into a png sequence. Now I'm trying to put it in flash but when I import it, there doesn't seem to be a way for each png to occupy each key frame. Do I have to manually insert and align each png? That seems crazy because I have like 108 pngs.

View 28 RepliesI have a simple classic tween, showing a piece of paper coming out of a printer. Simple enough, right? Here is a diagram. The motion goes like this, with ease in and ease out. [X] is a keyframe.
[x] -100 --> [X] +100 --> [X]
When I copy the frames and paste them into a new document, the piece of paper "jumps" and the tween is not calculated. It's mangled.

Is it possible to allow users to paste image data into a Website? That is, they have an image in the clipboard and can paste it into an HTML Site? (I would then somehow grab the bytes and store them - persistence isn't the problem here) It needs to be Cross-Browser IE8, FF3.5 and Chrome 4, but I can use browser plugins like Silverlight, Flash or bare JavaScript if possible (I might even use Browser Plugins, although that would be painful to manage and IE would need ActiveX is guess...). Also since it's an internal site, I can add the site to the Local Intranet Zone in IE (not sure if that changes stuff for Firefox and Chrome).
View 2 RepliesI've created a short text (a word) in photoshop with the blending options I prefer and now it's all done I would like to paste it into my flash project. The problem is I can't get the text to be transparent in the flash, I always see the white background which is not very nice since the background on which the text will show is actually a picture. How to make this text transparent? In photoshop I started a new transparent project. Copying from a .GIF file also doesn't work...

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to capture rich text when pasting into Flash? Using a Flex TextEditArea, I can paste richly formatted text within Flash itself, but if I try to paste from an external source (say web page, microsoft word, etc) it comes in as plain text. Same for the reverse: if I copy rich text from within Flash, and paste to an external source, it goes out as plain text.
View 2 RepliesI need to disable pasting text in a textinout (flex3) : CTRL+V
View 2 RepliesUsers need to be able to paste the contents of an Excel spreadsheet into a grid in my flex application. I have implemented this using a TextArea with a change event handler that parses the text the the user pastes - splitting it up by newlines and tabs - and adding it to the ArrayCollection that is bound to the grid. However, it makes no sense for users to be able to manually enter text into the TextArea. How can I prevent them from doing so?
View 1 RepliesI have a button with animations on scroll-over. How can I 'duplicate' this button, as I want several more buttons with the same template, just different text (and different functions called)?
Sorry for the foolish question, but the Duplicate button is frustrating, as when I change the text in the new button it changes the text in the other button. It's like I'm changing a template.
Perhaps it is a misunderstanding of symbols? I believe symbols are basically template classes...is there a way to generate a new instance of a button symbol?
im makin an arkanoid game where you have to destroy bricks with a ball. I tested the game with a single brick on the screen, and it works fine (the brick gets destroed when the ball hits and adds to the score as well).
But as soon as i try to multiply the movie clip to have lots of bricks on the screen, the ball does not recognize the movie clip and goes straight through it.
Further more, after hitting a particular brick, they all disappear at once!
I'm working for a client that needs me to put a lot of information into flash. He had someone do all the typing and all that in word, with formating and I went through and changed text colors where needed, and now when I'm trying to put it all into flash, it doesn't take any formatting at all. No indents, none of the bold settings, and none of the color settings. I really can't re-do all of the formatting, it would take ages and ages. There must be some way to get this formatting into flash from word (actually using a free program called bean, because i can't even get a copy/paste from word to work at all)
