Professional :: Flash Shapes Broken Text?
Jan 7, 2010I have a flash website template, Fla File as well as all the source files etc, I have some questions if anyone would be kind enough to help. I am new to Fla files so not sure what to do.
There is some text I managed to edit ok, but others I could not, it appears as if they started as text and have been broken apart and made into a shape? when i click you can only highlight each letter, but not change them. There are two of these, one flies in from left, the other from right.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Import Shapes Directly From The Library As Shapes And Not As Sprites / MovieClips?
Feb 17, 2009I have a question about shapes (i mean the flash.display.Shape class). Is it possible to import Shapes directly from the library as Shapes and not as Sprites/MovieClips? Shapes are supposed to be faster than MovieClips/Sprites, right? So why is it only possible to import MCs/Sprites from the library? I understand that generally shapes could be created solely by actionscript, but in my case the shape comprises of many points and is curved - so it's quite infeasible.
Is there maybe some sort of plugin to generate code that would draw the desired shape from a drawn shape in CS4? And a last one: Are there any benchmarks out there for performance comparison between sprites/mcs/shapes? How much performance do i loose by using a sprite instead of a shape?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Send The Properties Of Shapes To A Text File?
Apr 21, 2007I am making an application wherein i will need to send the properties of shapes to a text file. That is, its x, y, xscale, yscale, rotation etc. Now the thing is, there could be any number of such shapes. And then, i also need to retrieve those values to redraw them onto the stage.
So how do i go about it? i mean do i create a new loadVars() instance for each shape and send it to the php file? Will that not create a separate text file for each shape?? And how do i get those variables back into the swf? Do i create just one loadVars then or do i create a new loadVars for each shape? How will i know how many to create if there is a separate text file for each shape?
I'm very new to php so i have only a theoretical understanding of how it works. I only need to do the AS part of it.

View 1 RepliesFlash :: Drawing Outlines Around Organic Shapes
Mar 21, 2010One thing that seems particularly easy to do in the Flash IDE but difficult to do with code is to outline an organic shape. In the IDE you can just use the inkbucket tool to draw a stroke around something. Using nothing but code it seems much trickier. One method I've seen is to add a glow filter to the shape in question and just mess with the strength. But what if i want to only show the outline?What I'd like to do is to collect all of the points that make up the edge of the shape and then just connect the dots. I've actually gotten so far as to collect all of the points with a quick and dirty edge detection script that I wrote. So now I have a Vector of all the points that makeup my shape. How do I connect them in the proper sequence so it actually looks like the original object?[code]
View 1 RepliesModify And Replace Shapes With Different Versions In Flash?
Dec 2, 2010I am new in Graphics and Multimedia Programming and I use Adobe Flash CS5 Professional V11.0 to edit and create some short flash movies.I have an old flash movie which is created by older version of Flash (Macromedia Flash 10 or 8). This falsh movie needs modification because it has some typing errors.
I had a rendered Flash movie (.swf) that I converted to its original format (.fla) with its associated resources like Action - Button - Font - Frame - Image - Shape - Sprite using a Flash decompiler software.
I have edited the shapes which includes the errors by my flash software and save it using the available formats which are CS5 or CS4 which are only allowed in saving options.
I took copies of the old edited shapes and replaced them with new correct ones but when I publish the file to be in *.swf format or expert it to flash it did not work as they are not there at all.it may be a type mismatch but I downloaded and installed old flash software version (Macromedia Flash 8.0) to read and publish them but it gives file reading error and was unable to read or manipulate them at all.
I tried a program that replaces specific shape or all flash shapes but it did not see that also and it is used only with *.swf format.Is there any way to convert or treat shapes in flash as text ?
I searched the web for that but most results coming talks about Shape tweening and I did not find what I want.How I can change the mistakes in these flash shapes and leaving the other things as they are like the action script and the timeline used as I only want to replace these wrong shapes ?
Actionscript 3 :: Calculate Intersection Between Shapes In Flash?
Dec 24, 2010I need to calculate the intersection between two shapes in flash / action script. The problem is I can't access the shape's nodes and segments, and their coordinates, so there's no way I can calculate this. Do you know a way?
edit: further explanation: I imported irregular polygons from an EPS file to a movieclip with shapes in it.The mathematical solution to the problem is trivial, but to do that, I need to access by AS code to the coordinates of the nodes that make up the polygons, which I tried with no success. That is what I'm trying to accomplish.
edit2: dismiss this question. It's not possible. The workaround I'm applying is to save the polygons in SVG and parse them to get a list of nodes. then will feed that list to flash to calculate the intersection and areas on runtime.

Dec 9, 2011Here's my basic issue: I have a movieclip, with several hundred shapes inside of it that I drew with the brush tool.
I want to convert each one of those shapes to a movieclip. I could individually select each one by hand, convert it to movieclip, and then have a massive library. That would be a hassle to do, and really difficult to manage going forward and making changes.
I'd rather do something like
Code:
for each (var curShape:Shape in myMC)
{
var newMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip
[Code]...
and then I could access them as MCs henceforth (for collision detection, mainly).
That code does not work though!

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Don't Always Save Shapes As Symbols?
Dec 11, 2011I haven't used Flash for sometime. Trying to get back into it using version CS5. When creating any animation, don't you always save your shapes as symbols? I was trying to do a simple shape tween but it won't let me if I convert my shapes to graphic symbols. I'm assuming then that this isn't the case?
One other thing... In earlier versions the animation options appeared in the Properties window. This doesn't seem to be the case, any tweens I select I've had to go to Insert...
CS5 :: Armature Shapes Disappear / Break On Load In Flash
May 17, 2010Flash CS5 is the first version I've used since 8 Pro, so I'm new to the IK tool and adding bones to clips/shapes. I'm experiencing problems when saving/loading files that have armatures in them. I have made several characters now with bones attached to their limbs, which are shapes (not symbols) each on their own layer. At first the animations seem to work fine, and I can export a test SWF with no trouble showing the animation as it should be.
However, returning to the FLA after saving and closing it produces some unusual effects. For example, the shapes will disappear from the stage/clip and the only way I've found to get them to reappear is to select them via the timeline or their (barely visible) pivot point, then deselect them, then undo these actions and for some reason they appear again! More worryingly, sometimes the armatures will take on shapes from different layers, meaning, for example, I end up having figures with two right arms, even though the limbs and their corresponding shapes/armatures are on completely different layers. I have not found a way to undo this, so I have to start some of the limbs from scratch, then make sure I've published/exported all the necessary files before I need to close! m experiencing problems when saving/loading files that have armatures in them.

Flex :: Workarounds For Flash Bug When Drawing Large Shapes?
Dec 12, 2009When you use Graphics object to draw very large shape(that does not fit in 10000x10000 pixels) stroke width may become much wider than value specified in lineStyle function.For now I have only two options:
1. When drawing line you can split it into several lines. However this trick does work only for drawing lines, polylines and polygons. There is no way to apply this to drawing circles and ellipses. Well, we can approximate circles via bezier curves, but this approach seems to be very inefficient.
2. Perform manual cliping. But this require manual implementation of different cliping techiniques, and I think ActionScript does not suit well for this sort of task. And again there is need to approximate visible parts of large circles.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Flash CS4 Bone Tool Animation Complex Shapes?
Mar 1, 2011Does anyone know the limit or extents of the limitations of the error message "The shape is to complex. Please optimize or convert to a movie clip" while using the bone tool on a single object which has been broken apart for the use of organic animation?
The bone tool in CS4 has great potential for organic looking animation. The only problem is it seems to be totally random as to whether or not it will accept me using the bone tool on my drawings. Sometimes it will work for images having up to 5 or 600 points other times less than 300. Also, I'm not talking about using the bone tool to link and animate individual movie clip symbols. So does anyone really understand the rules here, or perhaps know of a code or program setting I can use to change the complexity allowed with the bone rigging? My only current solution is using illustrator's more advanced optimizing features to lose less of my organic looking strokes but still this is not good enough.
