I am facing a problem in one of my animation with flash CS4 - I have nested a Shape Tween in a Motion tween to get more control over the easers and effects, unfortunately I am not able to view on the timeline of my Motion Tween the action of the Shape tween nested inside.
It only show the first shape of the Shape Tween during the entire Motion Tween and that is really a problem for me because I need to see the final frame result of that Shape tween to be able to position it in a precise way on my scene according to other instances.

I am working on a project for my brother and I am unsure how to do this.It is an existing flash template, we have all the files. I was able to change the images but I do not know how to edit an existing motion animation.For example, when the mouse rolls over or on load up, there is an animation but we want to change it to something else.
View 1 RepliesOk so I found this nice code over at Prototype. Its a function for Aligning to stage on Resize. [URL] It works really nice on its own but I was hoping to add some tweened easing as an additional optional parameter. (I posted there twice asking for help to no avail =( So I am asking here at Kirupa. What I wish to add is - implementing and adding an "easing" function as part of the current function. Something generalized to be called only if desired and the ability to set the ease type, duration, maybe prop etc.. (or whatever needed to make it work)
I have tried all kinds of things and below is as close as I can come (at least the only thing I can do to get the thing to move, although as you will see it works backwards and I can only get it to work using stage.width, stage.height, however I have tried newX oldX and all kinds of other things and cant seem to get things to move.

I'm reletively new to flash, and am trying to modify a template and am running into a problem and I don't seem to know why Flash is acting so strange. I am going into a movie clip to edit the color of an item, and when I do so with a tint, it overrides any additional effects such as light, and text. The color appears almost as if it were just slapped on top of everything. When I edit the color in advanced mode, it is really a hit-or-miss to get the correct color, and will only modify when changing the offset RGB.
And also when doing this, the text gradually changes color, for example: there are 4 items in total that I want to edit the color of. Each item is a different colored box with text on the front (for a main Navigation of the website). --- The first item, the text will stay white. Gradually through the second and third items it starts to change, and by the fourth / last item, the text is completely blue. Is it possible for a portion of text to be connected somehow to an object within the animation in a movieclip? If so, is it possible to go inside and edit this? -the shape, animation, and text? Is there an easier way to change the color of an item inside a movie clip? I can supply additional information if needed.. files etc.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to shape tween from a simple vector object to a number of complex vector objects, but the same problem occurs when trying to go from one simple object to two.
Instead of slowly/smoothly splitting the initial object into two, it just copies them and they move apart from each until reaching the final two object forms. As if this wasn't bad enough, they are also connected by a random straight line. Ugly.
I guess I can understand why this happens, but is there no way to tell it to make the transition in another way? Shape hints tend to make the problem even worse.
I have two vector graphics I imported to my stage and want to do a shape tween between them. But shape tween is grayed out. The images are imported Illustrator EPS's. I attached two screenshots.

I'm using Flash CS4 on a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.1.I've added two shape tweens on two layers in my main timeline. The SWF tests fine. All is good.I close the document.I open it up again and the tween shapes are gone and there are only regular frames between the transitional shapes in their respective keyframes.I've already added shape hints, and they are completely restored when I convert the intermediary frames back to shape tweens.Exporting to SWF after restoring the shape tweens works fine.
Closing and then opening the FLA still results in the shape tweens reverting back to regular frames.Exporting an SWF from the newly opened document shows no shape tweening as it is gone from the main timeline.Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Hi;I have a shape tween between 5 different drawings that I want to convert to a mc. How do I do this?
View 3 RepliesI'm using shape tweens to morph one shape into another:While I enjoy some of the choices Flash makes for animating the transformations,I am wondering if you can control it in any way, or even have flash generate a different transformation.That demo shows about what I know, which amounts to: applying shape tweens for morphing; and motion tweens for 2d spinning, and basic movement from point A to point B.
View 2 RepliesI want to make a Shape Tween where a text of a small size increases in size. I followed a tutorial, and I did what it tells me: I put the starting text in the first frame, create a blank keyframe at the end where I put the bigger text, I then use the selection tool to right-click on both text objects in the video clip and select Break Apart which I do twice, and then I should be able to create a proper Shape Tween... but when I click on a random free and either right-click or go to Insert, Shape Tween is greyed out. How come? I also tried the other Tweens, but they don't do anything.
View 5 RepliesFor those of you who know how to shape tween TEXT, you can do it by breaking it apart(under the MODIFY tab) in the GUI part of Flash. In AS3 however, you can't do that.
End Result wish - To simply have the text font increase in size starting from say, font size of 10 to 300 as if it is coming out of the screen. Imagine a dot, and then imagine the dot shape tweening out to become a large dot until it fills up your screen, now imagine your text box being able to do the same thing.

I've been using the motion editor for my Motion Tweens, but as you probably know, I can't use the motion editor on a Shape Tween. Is there no way to do this? I just want it to slowly ease in.

View 1 RepliesI am using flash as3.I have some shapes I have drawn on the screen. They are made using:
graphics.beginFill(0x00ff00);
graphics.drawRect(0,0,50,50);
graphics.endFill();
to draw them. Each shape has a different color for fun (different beginFill).How can I get the color of the shape under the mouse pointer as I move the mouse around the shapes?I see two choices so far but don't know how to do either of them: Get color under the mouse point get the color from the shape properties (preferred)how to do either of these...

View 1 Repliesi put a shape tween on the timeline that shrinks a shape a certain number of pixels in a given time. my problem is that it shrinks too smoothly in the movie! I need it to shrink in a step by step fashion, and i'd like to be able to specify the number of steps. i'm hoping that there's a simple parameter that i can use to do this. or may be there would be a way to slow down this tween? by changing the fps locally without effecting the rest of the movie? i will need a solution that will work for motion tweens too, but imagine that the principle will be the same also, as a second question, is it possible to tween a bitmaps tint color style so that it changes from say red to green over a number of frames?
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to create a shape tween, in which I use the envelop transform. Somehow, when I change the position of the points on the left side of the object, the object rotates during the shape tween; if I change the position of the points on the left side, everything goes the way it should be. I recorded the screen while displaying the problem, I hope it is clear this way: [URL]

View 3 RepliesI want to shape tween multiple objects on the same layer. When they are placed independently from each other all the time on the canvas, I have no problem to make them morph into the other shapes in the ending keyframe.
However, when some of the objects are crossing each other in either the starting or ending keyframe, they don't morph smoothly but quite funnily. Funny phases are nested between the intended starting and ending tages.
See the images below. What should I do to prevent this?
