Flash :: Animation Won't Animate In After Effects
Feb 10, 2011
I made a flash animation of a character walking, exported it as .swf, made sure it worked in the flash player, and imported it into After Effects. I used keyframes to map out where I wanted my character to walk. I played it back, first using space bar, then using 0, and my character didn't animate.
I didn't script anything. I was trying to follow these directions to create a walk animation[url]...
At step 4 the guy said, " I won't delve into how to create each frame of the cycle because for one thing, you can have a look at the fla. that I enclose at the end of the tutorial, and for another it's not that hard. I'm sure you can do that!" I didn't download his project because I already know how keyframes work, I knew what I needed to do to make my animation walk the way I wanted it to walk. From there I right clicked on the movie clip, clicked "Export SWF...", and named it.
How can I can I get my character to animate when I preview my work in After Effects? Was there something I should have done while in Flash to make it work in After Effects?

I found myself wondering whether it would be wiser for a person to construct complex animations (using multiple eases, transparency effects etc) in flash using the tween systems, or rather to create it in software like After Effects and export SWFs with transparency. I would imagine that for short, but complex animations, AE would be best because of the small SWF size of fewer frames being rendered. Another wonder I have would be whether creating complex tweens on a Flash timeline, then converting them to AS3 would be a processing nightmare. Should Tweens be restricted to simple tasks? Would anybody like to take a speculative 'stab' at the pros and cons of each method?

*trouble with gotoandplay and roll out functions* basically i have an after effects movieclip (followed the after effects button tutorial on this site) that i have made into a button. it works ok on rollover and rollout i use tweener which works a treat and when i click it goes to another frame and plays a small sequence of smoke exploding.
problem: its a look problem really. when i rollout the smoke click sequence tweens back to frame 0 as per my rollout instructions IS there a way for me to have the click smoke sequence play all the way through before going back to frame 0 on my rollout ? i see tweener has a oncomplete statment is that of anyuse? ive tried a few thigns but it always reverts to the rollout and reverses the footage.

I really like the new tweens and motion panel that Flash added in CS4 but I'm having some problems with them that I cant find a solution to.
1. When I animate or apply a preset animation it changes the position slightly. I do work where I need things positioned exactly where I put them. For example X:70 Y:210 but when I animate it might for example change it to X:70 Y:210.5 and to make it more confusing even if I animate a group of them at the same time it only does this to some things and not all. Also if I try to change the position back manually it doesnt always let me in the properties panel. I have to go to the Motion Editor and change it there frame by frame.
2. Similar problem to above but with the Alpha property. I want to animate things where it fades on and then stays up for a few frames and then animates back off. When I try to do this using the properties panel it doesnt always let me. So for example I need my alpha values to be in this order for the 4 keyframes. 0, 100, 100, 0. But for the 0 it might force it to 3% instead of the 0 I need. Again I can only fix this by going to the Motion Editor and adjusting it frame by frame.

My goal is to get a single stroke to animate randomly every time I open the animation. My code seems to be creating a new strokes during the animation causing them to stack on top of each other. This animation would work if only the previous stroke did not multiply.

Basically all I am trying to do, is place a simple text animation on a separate layer and animate it. Every time I insert the first keyframe on the first character of the text I am animating, it turns the whole document white. When I preview it like this, the white "layer" pulses at the set frame rate I have applied. I have played around with moving the layers and what not and I cant get this problem to go away.

I bought Production Premium so that I can make movies. But today I need a website topper (just a little motion graphic 850X226) I made my graphic that I like in After Effects, but now I need to put it in flash so it will play smoothly as a website title. It is importing at WAY too large of a file size when I import it into my website as a movie (>2MB) And how to make it into flash.
I tried "exporting" my comp as a .swf but the swf isn't playing parts of my video are not playing (certain effects and lights). what I need to do to get my title bar to play on a website perfectly.

I got a web banner made from a person in india and I was trying to examine the fla file. In the library there are four .swf movie files and I don't think they were made in the adobe flash software as they would have taken all day to do. Is there a program out there that can quickly make cool text effects with a transparent background and then be able to import the finished txt effect into adobe flash and use in the fla file?
The banner I am relating to can be downloaded here [URL] and the text effects that I am talking about are
Movie1.swf
Movie2.swf
Movie3.swf
Movie4.swf

I just need to know how to make a flash banner almost exactly like the one in the link. I would make it my own of coarse, but I need my banner to be the same size and same effect when the pictures change. I need to know how to make the photo's change from one to another, and how to make the transition effect as the photo's are changing. Here's the link to the banner I need to know how to make. [URL].

while ago I made a created a basic effect in Flash CS4 whereby a selection of logos on my web-page gradually disappeared (in the same spot, not shrinking in size first or any other of the effects displayed in the motion presets) think this was done by some kind of preset but it doesn't seem to be in the motion presets panel. I can not seem to remember how it was done and I can't find the relevant settings. I don't know ActionScript so it was definitely a preset.Enclosed are some screen shots of the effect that I mean (stages every few seconds until they completely disappear).

I am now trying to make a flash intro for my web site.I have downloaded some free templates for the same and examined them.Some special effects, means colour abstrract moving effects or explosion like effects are in that 'fla' file.They appear as movie clips. I can export them as flv also.How they are created? Is it in flash itself or from some other programs like after effects or something?I would like to create such effects for myself. If it is not in flash, then there is no point in wasting time figuring out the methods by myself.

I was curious if there is a way to import Illustrator files seamlessly into flash. My project in Illustrator has a lot of effects like drop shadows
here is what the file looks like: [URL]
so as you can see it is pretty complex. I want to import as much as I can in vector so that it saves on load time since i already built it in vectors. is it possible to import most of it in vector then just rastor the stuff that might not translate like gaussian blur etc?

I'm having a real bad time with Flash CS5, mostly by how it is exporting stuff and is unable to seemingly work with After Effects CS5, the other big program I use in my workspaceIt seems that anytime I include text into my Flash file in CS5, I am alerted that the text layout has been exported to an external file at which point it will not be imported correctly with any animation in After Effects I've read that this has something to do with the new CS5 TLF mode.

I am using Flash CS5 to generate an array of the notes in a midi file. Basically I store data such as time of the note, note duration, pitch, scale, volume, etc.I have 2 questions:How can I export all these data in order to use it in after effects (as a txt file? other formats?);How do I use the exported file in After Effects later on: How do I tell After Effects when to start playing a note in a specific time? how do I associate note height with a specific feature (lets say - square width) - and so on.I DO know some basic coding in after effect (how to associate elements inside After - such as volume and opacity) but I need to understand how to deal with an exported file (and in which format to generate it).

my sister asked me to do smth for her that let me scratch my head: she wants to make a signature text in a forum and wants to add sound to this signature so when her post is shown the sound will play in background together with her text signature.
I'm not sure this could be done in flash? is there a way to have some jpeg image with sound effect? or should it be a video? maybe forums restrict adding a flash doc as a signature?
