Flash :: Ios - Zooming Frame Graphics In CS5
Nov 30, 2010
I am developing a Flash CS5 iOS app. On one of the frames I am drawing a good many rectangles in a particular pattern. I would like to use two-finger zoom and gestures to zoom into these rectangles on the frame but keep the general pattern of these rectangles the same. Also once zoomed in, the user will need to pan around the enlarged graphics.
I know I could create an event handler that when I zoom in it adds width and height to each of the rectangles but then I have to worry about increasing the X and Y positions of each of the rectangles so I keep the same distance between each one and so forth.

I have a project that involves flash animation- almost movie like. I need some advice on how to do flash animation. I think I'll create the graphics in illustrator. Basically, the storyline is this:
- guy leaves house and walks to car
-starts engine, puts on shades and speeds off
-scenes of downtown chicago (nightlife)
-view license plate
What is the best way to do this? create graphics in illustrator for frame by frame? Should I use after effects? The client doesn't have a high budget so video is out of the question.

Basically I want to know if there is a way to go from a zoomed in version of something, and then seeing the whole image in another frame. (By pressing a button)
Let's say there's a tree, I would bascially like (upon pressing a button which I can do) to zoom out and see the whole scenery. Is there a way I can do this without actually changing the size of the image?

I look at professional animations and notice the camera-like effects they manage to put into these animations. I'm wondering how I can do the same without having to just enlarge or reduce a movieclip across the stage. Is there any way to add a camera view on your animations or do you just have to bear with Flash's basic necessities?

Is there anyway to make graphics always default to Single Frame instead of Loop when you drag them from library to stage? It's kind of a pain to go to Properties > Looping > Options: Single Frame every time I drag a graphic instance.

When you put the stop(); action on a frame, does the frame's graphics get played before the movie stops, or does the movie stop before the frame's graphics are played?

I want to incorporate a graphics frame in my chat application so that anyone can scribble in that box using the mouse (click and drag), just like a pencil in the MS paint. This would be something like a graphic analogue of the text chat area. Is there is any such Component like TextArea which may be used for this kind of application?

I was wondering about MC and hey can help to lag a game out. I set up an advanced class system so i don't have to use MC to simulate walls, all i use isthe x,y,width and height. Well anyway since i don't need MC anymore I was wondering if there is a way to attach Graphics instead of MC cause a Graphics file size is relatively small than that of a graphic, I think. If anyone could tell me thats true and show me a way to attach graphics that would be nice. I haven't tried it yet but maybe if I exported the graphic from the library imihgt be able to call its name, but it doesn't have an instance name so im stuck.

I am a really new flash beginner, and I am trying to write a site that can do this scaling in/out effect (Not an image) after when a new file is loaded into the page. I've googled and searched everywhere and couldn't find a possible solution to this.You can see the site, there is a zoom in and moving effect after a button/new page is loaded.
Here are the scaling, I am talking about:http:[url]....

I have a container full of tiles and other assets that serves as the map. On top of that container is a mask that serves as the camera the player sees through. In order to move the camera around I move the container around.I'm able to center on a tile within the container using the following formula:
container.x = ( ( (tile.x + (tile.width / 2) ) * container.scaleX) * -1) + (mask_width / 2);
container.y = ( ( (tile.y + (tile.height / 2) ) * container.scaleY) * -1) + (mask_height / 2);
This moves the container into position relative to the mask such that the center of the mask will be the tile in question.I recently added the ability to zoom, which just adjusts the scaleX/scaleY of the container to make it bigger or smaller. I've already fixed the centering code above to account for it, but I'm having trouble making it so the "camera" doesn't appear to move around as the view shrinks. Basically, when zooming out everything appears to move to the left, because the container shrinks. It's all fine once I center on something with the code above, but I need a way to bump the container over to the right a bit based upon the difference in scaleX and scaleY to keep everything looking like it's in the same position while zooming.

I'm trying to scale a container/parent movie clip up so that I effectively zoom in to a point referenced by one of its children. I've figured out how to use globalToLocal to get that point at the center of the stage, but the problem is the registration point for the container clip is (and needs to stay) at the upper left, so when I scale the container clip up, the point does not stay in the center of the screen. Here's my code:

I'm currently testing various ways to zoom images (or rather, whole DisplayList hierarchies). Using scaleX and scaleY works quite well, but when I use the z property to zoom the image (by placing it further away) the image gets blurred when returning to z=0. The image is put in a Sprite ("groundLayer") and that Sprite itself is put in another Sprite ("zoomLayer"). Whenever I'm zooming I'm manipulating properties of the "zoomLayer" only. This image was taken right after returning scaleX and scaleY back to 1.0: This image was taken right after returning z back to 0.0:
I've tried searching for information about this phenomena but couldn't really find anything useful. Can anyone explain what's happening there? Why is Flash blurring the image after manipulating the zproperty? Is there a way to prevent that (well, other than obviously leaving z alone)?

I have a large vector drawing (imagine 5000x5000) that i want to break up into separate pieces. I know that I can convert this vector drawing into a bitmap and then use the copyPixels method to create many separate bitmaps of the different regions of the original vector drawing, but is there any way to subdivide it into movieclips that just contain vector graphics instead of a bitmap?The reason im dividing a big chunk of vector graphics into smaller pieces is for performance reasons, so flash would only render a small part of this big chunk at a time (only certain regions/voxels/subdivisions are rendered at a time). But bitmaps apparently take up a lot of memory and the system im using would take much less memory if these subdivisions could be preserved in their original vector graphics form.
I imagine I could use masks somehow to achieve this effect (for each subdivision, duplicate the huge image and mask only the region that the subdivision represents), but I dont know the performance costs of masking or if this will create other problems.So is there anyway to split up a movieclip of vector graphics into smaller movieclips of vector graphics the same way copyPixels can with bitmaps?

In Flash the cursor won't move if I use my tablet, but it moves if I use the mouse.. the tablet works outside of flash, like in paint. I use Windows 7 if thats the problem. Yes, I do have the latest drivers for Windows 7.

Is there any program or setting for "pointing" flash programs at my graphics card rather than leaving it to the processor and RAM alone? I am running a specific frontend software that is a flash executable- unfortunately it lags heavily on execution despite the fact that I have a very nice video card installed.

I have downloaded the latest flash pro cs5.5 package and installed it on 3 different windows XP machines and I get the same bad result. This is Flash Pro 11.5.0.325 on XP SP3.
I made a small slideshow swf consisting of two jpeg images and nothing else. No music or other bells or whistles.Just 2 images converted to symbols, some keyframe/tween definitions with altered alpha channels.The slideshow runs perfectly and as I expect.
I save the slideshow as a .fla file.I need to add some more functionality from this plateau to show that the product can do what we need to the boss.
When I later load this .fla file, I don't see my graphics on the stage anymore. I right-click on the images and click on the option in the dialog to update the images. I see that the white stage now has the image I expected. When I close the dialog that lets me update the image flash pro abends and I get the crash dialog from microsoft.
Why can I make this slideshow and have it run perfectly, save it successfully (so I think) and then it won't load properly or let me work on it after one save?I have downloaded the latest flash pro cs5.5 package and installed it on 3 different windows XP machines and I get the same bad result. This is Flash Pro 11.5.0.325 on XP SP3.

While doing a tutoral it wants me to go to the library and select a pre-installed graphic.When I go to Window and open the Library it is empty. And under Window/Common Library's to submenu has three choices, Buttons, Classes, and Learning Interactions. Does Flash have a gallery of sample graphics and animations installed in Flash Professional 8? If so how do you open it?

In AS3 you can embed a graphic into a Class variable:
[Embed(source="MenuAssets.swf", symbol="topSquare")]
public var TopMenuItem:Class;
I have hundreds of assets in this one website project I'm doing, so I want to embed assets into an array for quick access.Can I do something like this? Its not compiling so I'm wondering whether its possible.
public var MenuAssets:Array = [
[Embed(source="MenuAssets.swf", symbol="topSquare")],
[Embed(source="MenuAssets.swf", symbol="botSquare")],
[code].....

Our scenario is that we have a visualisation in a flex .swf that we load data into (through a web service call). Once the data has been loaded we would like to use the resultant image in a PDF.I can send an image of a DisplayObject back to the server as a PNG and put it into a PDF (using iText), but the png is not scalable and it looks bad in the PDF at different zoom levels.To add a bit more clarity. The visualisations are not vector graphics that we import or embed during development, they are charts and trend graphs and custom visualisations created through the flex/flash drawing API, at runtime, based on data retrieved from the server.

I've done some searching and can't find a good answer on workflow for importing vector graphics in Flash 8.I created a layered Photoshop file and opened in Illustrator to save in .eps format. I'm using Flash 8 and Illustrator CS3. I've tried many options (including trying to simply create my buttons in flash), but can't seem to get the buttons to import properly for scaling purposes into Flash.

I noticed this thing that Flash self generated graphic symbols and names it Tween1, Tween2, etc. I am not sure why it happens. Usually it happens when I tween something and then this accompanying graphic symbol appears in the library. Do I really need them, is it a flash mulfunction and I can safely delete them? why they are happening, am I making all the wrong steps in tweening and thus they appear?

Let's say I create an empty movieclip called "Test_mc", then I create an as3 class "Test_mc" like below and then I set the movieclip class to "Test_mc".
public class Test_mc extends MovieClip {
public function Test_mc() {
graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);[code]..
Now I can drag out instances of the Test_mc into the scene and get red circles when I test the movie. The problem however, is that I can't see the circles on the canvas inside the Flash IDE. Is there a way to get these actionscript generated grapics to show up?
