I'm getting reduced image quality when I modify my MovieClip's .rotationY property. I've read that flash converts the object into a bitmap which explains the reduction in quality. However my MovieClip will eventually return to it's default position .rotationY = 0; and i don't want it to have a loss in quality.
View 1 RepliesI've had no such problem like this until today. Basically when i try and drag an object from photoshop to the stage in flash, everything looks great on the stage and usualy everything looks fine in the test / debug mode. But suddenly i've come up against a very anoying problem. Everything looks great on the stage, but as soon as I go to test the movie, the image quality of whatever it is I have imported goes terrible. Like its been compressed to less than 10kb!The image looks fine on the stage but the problem accurs when I try to test to movie.I have tried importing different size images, not transforming the images in flash, making sure all the settings (I know of) are on high.
View 2 RepliesI am using TweenMax to animate the z coordinates of a movieclip containing vector type. So far I've only done a super-simple pan out/zoom in, but I feel like I must be doing something wrong because the type looks awful when it's zoomed out and in. I would think that a vector object should look great at any size, but its very pixilated.

I modified a version of the xml photo gallery tutorial featured on this website, and am using that. But when my images pop up the quality is horrible. I've gone through and checked everything I know to look at. Then I decided to build my flash site twice as big, and use pictures that were twice as big to get some quality. This didn't work either..
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to get a transparent image to fly in from the side. So, I *thought* I was doing the correct thing by moving the "symbol" off of the visible portion of the stage, and creating a motion tween to move it onto the stage. The motion works, but the quality of the image in general (and the text in specific) looks pixelated.Thus, I did a little bit of snooping, and everyone said that you should start with a bitmap. So I saved the image from Photoshop into .bmp format, and was able to set the properties to "allow smoothing" and with lossless compression. So far, so good. Now, as I expected, the transparency is no longer there...
So here's the question: how can I make this image retain its quality, still have transparency, and a motion tween?It seems like this is some set of characteristics that don't play well together, even though I see this type of thing online ALL the time.I tried "Trace Bitmap" to convert to a raster image, and tried to follow some suggestions online, but when I do "Trace Bitmap", it ends up looking like it has a bunch of grayish dots on the image... definitely NOT what I was expecting.
I'm trying to create a small animated graphic but under gif. format looks terribleI am missing any trick or should I try other format (which)?

View 1 RepliesI'm thinking of developing an application with Adobe Flash CS4 but I'm having some serious quality issues when importing material from Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Fireworks CS4.When I import the material as a bitmap, the quality is better (then importing as movieclip) but not good enough.I was just wondering, how do the pro's do it? All the big companies, organizations ect ect.
View 1 RepliesI make my textfield and wrap it in a movieclip and add it to the stage, and it looks great. As soon as I make it a linkage class (ClientText) and add it with

clientText.y = 60;
addChild(clientText);
It gets really rough (see image attached) any idea how I can fix this?
Now, after my flash player update from 10.0 to 10.2.152, resized image quality is poor. Also quality depends on original image dimensions, even 1px difference in width or height for same user's original image for some reason can affect differently on quality of resized image.Actionscript Code:
result = new FileWork(Bitmap(loader.content));

Does anyone notice that, for a dynamic text field, the font quality changes with font size?It will consistently become suddenly bolder at certain font size!URL...It will only not happen if font is embedded...but due to file size this is often not possible!Is this a flash bug/limitation?
View 1 RepliesSo I have a 5 minute animation that has narration to explain what is going on. First I ran into synching problems when I had the sound as an external file. Today I found a tutorial that had me import the mp3 file into the library, put it on its own layer and put the synch setting in properties to "stream". Now when I play the movie in flash the audio still sounds normal but when I test or publish the movie the sound quality goes so far down it's intolerable. She sounds like Yosemite Sam with all the Suffering Suckatash. This is pretty urgent, my graduation next week pretty much depends on this project.
View 2 RepliesThe audio is fine in the flash file but it is bad in the quicktime or swf file I exported.

I have a movie that loads images from an external source based on paths contained within an .xml. As far as I can see, there is no restriction to the size of the loaded image, which are are JPEGs, hence flash will not have these images resized. The images look fine when loaded in Photoshop or viewed separately, but the quality is just awful when loaded within the movie.
I've tried the usual hints like increasing JPEG quality in Publish Settings, but understand that since these images are not imporated into Flash CS5 before compiling, but are instead loaded when the .swf is run, these settings would not have any effect.

In it are about 20 thumbnails that, when clicked, open up into large ~750x600 images. The images contain some text on them. In Flash itself, the images open up properly and look great. But when the site is placed on the web (and the html code below is used), the images are resized to smaller, poorer quality and the text (on the images) is practically unreadable. I have tried the images as jpegs and pngs - both look crappy on the web.
I use the following html code to make the site fit peoples' various browser window sizes. This is what is causing my problem, because when I don't use this html code the images look fine. But, I NEED to use this code in order for the site to fit various browser windows.
HTML Code:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"
WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%" id="index.swf">

So how can I make my site fit the browser window WITHOUT ruining my images in the process? How can I 1) keep the image sizes constant, or 2) let the images resize along with the rest of the site, but keep them in good quality?
Same file streamed from FMS4 (same on 3.5) with rtmp protocol has very poor quality compared to real file quality. Is there some low level configuration to do on Flash Server? Is the streaming server making some kind of transcoding before sending the stream? Or it can be Flash Player? Tried unchecking "hardware acceleration" but nothing changes. I am on a local gigabit network, so no network bottlenecks. Video seems very pixelated on the edges (not soft/antialiased). These are the file details:

I am using Flex for displaying videos streamed using the Red5 server. Basically i have two perspectives - one who relays and one who receives the broadcast. On the Flex side, in the video display, the video quality is good but on the receiver side it appears pixelated. I can't find the cause. Does this have anything to do with Flex encoding of videos or any Red5 server settings?
View 1 RepliesI have a Cube which I want to rotate using mouse motion. So if I move my mouse to the left it rotates as if rotationX was increased. When I move right rotationX is increased. Moving Up and Down alters rotationY.
This looks fine as long as you modify only one dimension (either rotationX or rotationY). But if I have already changed rotationX and then try to modify rotationY the results are weird. If rotationX is 180 rotationY effects are reversed. It basically is quite unpredictable and certainly not suitable for user.
I have tried to look around (failed), read about quaternions (couldn't understand), tried some out of blue and very complex trigonometric calculations (made a fool out of myself) and so I am stuck now. I've found this SO question Best way to translate mouse drag motion into 3d rotation of an object but it doesn't help me a bit, I can't understand any of the answers, really.

am using Flash CS5 and Photoshop CS3. The issue I am facing is while exporting from photoshop (optimized for web and devices) as png-24 , most of the images lose their quality inside flash. I have tried to make the publish settings for image quality 100. On lossless compression of the images, the image gets blurry. The total quality of display is highly degraded in flash in comparison to that of photoshop
