I am working on a project where i need a component to make it animated as handwriting effect.
i can use as3 to make the animated effect. I am supposed to pass the font and text as parameters to the method.
I have seen something similar done at [URL], but i don't know how its achieved.
How to animate handwriting? i.e. so a site visitor will see a word appear as it's being written...
View 5 RepliesI'm looking for handwriting recognition solution. I've found one here, which is a flash application. What's the principle of how it works? Does it make any queries to db to find the character?
View 3 RepliesI'm creating a simply animation with background images fading in and out. I've done that part.Now i want to add some animated text (simple scroll to middle of movie), i have it fading in ok, but i want to make it look a little bit more realistic.By this i mean, i'd like it to move towards the centre of the movie, but slow down before it stops at the centre.At the moment it simply moves accross the screen at one speed and then stops abruptly. Doesn't look good.
View 2 RepliesI have been tyring to export an animated banner, in animated.gif format. it's a simple animated text with no gradients. it should go on top of a graphic which has some gradients and is multi-coloured and with effects (the colours are similar to the one/i used in the page) as you can see here the text looks a bit funny.url...

View 2 RepliesSo I want to load and animate dynamic text from a text file. I have loaded the text fine, however when the dynamic text field animates out, it first displays the default value and only shows the dynamic text loaded once the animation stops. [code]...
View 3 RepliesI have a dynamic text field in a MC that should loop, but for some reason it plays once then vanishes. The text from the XML file does show up, and the text field is still there but blank. I have checked the basic stuff like anti alias for animation, embed, no stop(); or anything that simple. Here is the XML, all my instances are labeled correctly in the .fla

I developed a simple slide menu, I create an animation of the menu (I grouped the buttons).All works fine, but when I try to use dynamic text to put the options using actionscript the text does not show.

That's several years I'm working with Flash, and today, i want to do the simplest animation ever, and it just doesn't work....I want to mask an animated clip with an animated mask (a shape animation), but every time the mask arrives at a keyframe, the clip restarts to the frame 1 !!I added a piece of code to see at which keyframe it is blocked, and at every mask keyframe, the code says 'TypeError: Error #1009: null property..
View 2 RepliesMy problem is that I have made the tutorial named "Creating Animated Buttons" but when I set the text (b1.buttText.buttonText.text = "portfolio";) de sample text is disappeared and the new one doesn't come. I have traced the variable b1.buttText.buttonText.text and it is the "portfolio".
View 1 RepliesSay I have a class that extends TextField and I want to have it set a default text color to black (0x000000) when initiated. Easy enough. But then say, when the XML finishes loading and the user has decided to change the color of that textfield to red (0xFF0000), what would be the easiest way to change the text color of that field? The only way I can think to do it is to change the textformat color via public method? Would this be correct or is there an easier way?

I am trying to create a tool tip for my app, that will be a simple text that contain information about the button I am over. I would like the text to start with animation, and after animation follow the mouse. Please enter this site, you can see here an example : [URL]. See that when you enter a country, it starts with a animation from the right, and then follows the user's mouse position until he exits the country. I am quite new to AS, I will be very glad if someone can explain what is the best approach for this. I am able to make the animation with the tween class, but was not able to make it follow the mouse after the animation ends. On the other hand I was also able making it follow my mouse but was not able to make it start with animation.
View 6 RepliesI have a simple litte banner I did with flash (version 9.0). Just a few images and some text that I fade in and out with a motion tween. When i publish this to an animated gif, the text turns into blobs on the screen.
View 6 Repliesi've a problem with a 3D animation of a dynamic textF (a textfiled nested in a MC). Everything goes fine, but the quality of the text, at the end of the animation, slow really down. It's like the AAliasing doesn't work fine (it's setted on "Antialising for animation", but if i use anyone else, the result doesn't change).

View 2 RepliesI recently got Flash CS5 and began working with it on some things. One thing I was making was a simple animation that I was going to publish as an animated GIF. However, upon completing my animation, I've been unable to publish it as one. I can get it to publish as a GIF, yes, but it only shows the first frame.
My Publish Settings for GIFs in Flash CS5 are as such:
Playback: Animated, Loop Continuously
Options: Optimize Colors checked
Transparent: Opaque
Dither: None
Palette Type: Web 216
Are there any other settings I may be missing to ensure I can publish as an animated GIF?
For my project development i want to do animation on jpg image.

Yesterday I worked on an educational activity for adult English as a second language students similar to this one and the two pages worked perfectly.However, when I tried to make another page today that incorporates animated gifs, I ran into problems.I lost the ability to embed sound on the down state for all objects on the page.I am using Vista updated, and KoolMoves 7.4.1.I used these steps:
1. Import an image (jpeg) on to the stage.
2. Clicked on it and selected make it a button from the tool bar
.
3. In the OVER State, I drew a layer over the image and made it transparent.
4. I moved to the UP State, copied the OVER State, and added the word.
5. I moved to the DOWN State, copied the OVER State, and returned to the Main Movie.
6. I then right clicked on the image to show properties and changed the sound to YES, went to the down state, and linked to the sound.
7. I then saved, previewed in Play in Browser Window, and the two previous images with sounds (which worked perfectly before I worked on the gif) and the animated gif do not play sound.
I am using Flash CS3 to create a button for a site I am building in Dreamweaver CS4. The button I am trying to create looks like a volume knob on a guitar amp. I need it to point to zero and then "turn up to 10" over a period of 3 seconds when the user hovers over it. It also needs to play a sound. I have created seperate images in photoshop for the knob pointing at each increment 1-10. I added these to a new Flash doc on separate layers. Saved it and it plays as expected when in preview. However I cannot figure out how to get it set in a button. I have created simple buttons but not one that "plays a longer animation" like this.
