I recently switched to using a MacBookPro (snowleopard) when developing, after several years of PC use. Now, quite often when publishing my swf:s, embedded sounds get all distorted and filled with loud crackling sounds when running the swf (yes, even on different computers). I tried different compressions, bitrates and qualities with the same result. Something is clearly wrong with how my machine compresses sound.
View 1 RepliesI have a streaming sound that is loaded into my flash movie (will end up on CD) that is very distorted, it sounds like someone is slowing down the audio, the voice sounds deep and slow
View 1 RepliesIīve made a couple of simple buttons and I have placed a sound on the over frame, when I export the swf the sound sometimes get very distorted and in a browser too, so I made a movieclip "button" instead and attached the sound and the same thing happens!The sound is a mp3, a short "classic" click.
View 2 RepliesI use CS4 Flash 10.0.2 and after publishing a website (tried few templates), it comes out with bothering scratching/metallic sound. Basically all sounds, effects are distorted with a metallic sounds. If I do it few times, or shut down Flash and start it again and then publish it, the sound it is OK. What am I doing wrong or is it a setting that I should do to avoid this nuisance? It does not matter if I publish it with Flash v6 or v8 and moreover, it happens to different flash websites while using Flash CS4 for Windows and also for MAC. It must be something that I have to set but have no idea.
View 2 RepliesI've got an isometric view of a flat surface. On this surface there are various characters running around and I obviously need to control the depths of each object.
My flat surface needs to be used in two views: top-bottom + isometric.
The original mc is generated in the flat top-bottom mode. For the isometric view, that same mc gets distorted: this way the whole XY coordinates system gets distorted too.
Have a look at this (updated).
So i'd need to create this extra coordinate (is it the classic Z-depth?), and manage to gather information about it...
Does anyone know what the formula would be to calculate the depths of each character (red lines)?
For some reason, my buttons appear distorted. Not always, but most of the time. Why it that
View 3 RepliesI have a grid in a 2D system like the one in the before image where all points A,B,C,D,A',B',C',D' are given (meaning I know the respective x- and y-coordinates).I need to calculate the x- and y-coordinates of A(new), B(new), C(new) and D(new) when the grid is distorted (so that A' is moved to A'(new), B' is moved to B'(new), C' is moved to C'(new) and D' is moved to D'(new)).The distortion happens in a way in which the lines of the grid are each divided into sub-lines of equal length (meaning for example that AB is divided into 5 parts of the equal length |AB|/5 and A(new)B(new) is divided into 5 parts of the equal length |A(new)B(new)|/5).The distortion is done with the DistortImage class of the Sandy 3D Flash engine. (My practical task is to distort an image using this class where the handles are not positioned at the corners of the image like in this demo but somewhere within it).
View 7 RepliesI've added the full screen mode to my current project. The only problem is, when I click on the full screen mode the swf becomes full screen but it's stretched out and distorted.

If you look on the edges on the cost of love logo you'll see what i mean.
I created a site for a client and they are experiencing something weird with the top links in the base SWF. The links appear to be distorted or doubling up. I don't have anything extra in the MC. And what's worse is that I can't see this effect on any of the computers I have. They see it on their laptop.
I've attached a screenshot from them.

I have an mp4 file with the audio sounding perfect that I'm running through Adobe Flash CS3 Video Encoder to convert to an flv which I'm trying to then embed in a fla.My problem comes in the fact that after its embedding when previewing it, the sound quality has -significantly- deteriorated to the point where it sounds crackly and echoing. I've tried changing the sound data rate to maximum, but it makes no difference at all.
View 1 RepliesI have imported voice-over into my flash animation project as a WAV file. When I test it within the library, it's perfect. When I play it back using "Play" under "Controls" it is slightly degraded. And then when I play it back using "Test Movie in flash professional" under "Control" and when I publish the file, the audio is severely compressed and distorted. Why does this happen and how do I fix it?

I've tried many a Google search dealing with 3D Projection and and matrices, but I don't even know if I'm looking for the right things.
I have created a 3d rotation along the timeline inside a movieclip using the 3D rotation tool new to CS4. This movieclip resides inside an swf that will show a number of instances of this movieclip. The 3d tranformation works great when running the swf. BUT! When the swf gets published and I want to load the swf inside a main swf the 3d transformation gets distorted and out of place. Iīve looked at perspective projection and stuff like that, but I canīt figure out how this is effecting a timeline based animation and what I can do to stop it.

Got this weird issue going on today. The hitarea, the 'interactive space' of some of my buttons is off/ distorted. I created several buttons in a class with the pen tool and converted them to Buttons. I added some eventlisteners, but when I tested my Movie, I noticed the interactive space of some buttons was gone or at a different position or not the size I made it.
I made another button using the rectangle tool, and tested again. I noticed the visual button was at the place I put it, but the 'interactive space' was at the bottom right. Whenever I would move over this interactive space with my cursor, the visual button would instantly go to the place the interactive space is. Whenever I move the mouse out of the interactive space, the visual button goes back to its inital place.
Check it: (press start, 2 times the right arrow, then the window, then go to one of the buildings in the landscape and click on it)[URL].. Here you see two rectangle shape buttons. Hover over them, no interactivity. Move the mouse somewhat down to the right, and weirdness happens.

I made an SWF file (say X) and I have loaded this SWF file into another FLA file (say Y). With help from this forum, I got to do what I wanted - when I click on a button on the FLA file (Y), the SWF (X) shrinks to a smaller size (about half the size) and when I click on that same button again, X enlarges back to the original size. I acomplished this with tweenlite. THe SWF (X) has a slideshow of images. Now, when the SWF (X) shrinks to a smaller size, the images look very distorted and text in the images are not readable (although the text is large enough to be clearly visible).

View 3 RepliesI have a couple of Flash projects that were originally built in CS3. Last year I upgraded them to CS5 without trouble. Recently I have upgraded my Macs to Snow Leopard, and when I open both of these FLA files in CS5 on Snow Leopard, some of the fonts are insanely distorted.
View 5 RepliesI have been working on an animation. I have imported my sounds to the library and streamed them live to the animation. They dont sound as good (muffled and distorted) when I publish the preview (flash or html). They sound fine within flash. When I switched the properties from "stream" to "event" it seemed to work great in the preview. I added a few more sounds and now only the first two mp3 clips sound clear and the rest now sound not so clear. They sound okay but I cant figure out why the rest sound bad? They now all have the exact same settings as the first two..
View 3 RepliesI have a problem where Flash takes it upon itself to modify the width/height x/y values I set objects (MC's) to, usually by less than a pixel. I don't get that.. and wouldn't that mess some things up like when I'm increasing the size of an mc someodd 300 times its original size, then that 0.2 pixel Flash adds in white space could become 50 pixels. Also, when I change the size of x MC, some other MC's will change their size. I can tell because the other MC's are about 1 pixel apart and when I change x MC that pixel is filled in sort of. I noticed some decrease in these problems when I was using whole numbers and x/y values, but it hasn't stopped it completely. I can give an example swf if necessary.
View 3 RepliesMy first time making anything in flash, so go easy on me. I made a set of navigation buttons for a website I'm building for a friend of mine.
When I make it in Flash, everything looks perfect. When I save it as a movie and run on my computer (in Flash Player 6), it still looks perfect. But when I put it on my website, the "M" in "HOME" gets distorted (on all browsers). See here: [URL]
Using Flash MX, can't afford the upgrade to CS right now!
My site: [URL] My browser/os: Safari 5.0.4 +/Mac The issue: click on either 'calendar' or 'specials' in the masthead of the page. An overlay should reveal. Inside of that overlay there are columns of text w/ custom scroll bars (jScrollPane). In Safari, only on pages that have a flash header, the text inside of the custom scroll area is being distorted. This is not the case in any other browser (including Chrome).
My best educated guess was that it had something to do with the wmode parameter of the flash object. I tried changing the wmode from 'transparent' to 'opaque' but the problem persisted. I also considered the possibility of a z-index related issue... from what I can tell, this also is not the problem. I have searched the web high and low for someone else who is experiencing something similar but I have not been successful.
UPDATE: I determined that removing jScrollPane and adding overflow auto fixes the text distortion issue [Please see attached image]. Of course, this is not a solution because I do not want to use the default browser scrollbars but it may be useful info for debugging. ANOTHER UPDATE: This issue is not related to flash specifically. The distorted/blurred text occurs over HTML5 video as well in Safari.
I'm using the code below to scale my main movie with the browser window.What happens is that the images in the movie are baldy distorted ..Can I preserve the images to scale or at least can I scale them with a different scale?I'm using CS3 ,AS2 and Flash Player 9
Code:
// ***Stage aligned top left
Stage.align = "TL";
// *** stage scaling with the browser window.
Stage.scaleMode = "Scale";

I've created a holder on my site into which I'm loading individual .swf movies using a separate 'interface' at the side. Each swf is a slideshow of jpeg images, but for some reason they are becoming slightly stretched/distorted (maybe a single line of pixels is repeated) when they appear in the holder. The holder size is 1000x600, each swf has the same size, same dimensions for each jpeg too.
An example code for a button to load the swf into the holder is:
on (release) {
_parent.holder_mc.loadMovie("interface_7_movie.swf ");
}
Is there anything I need to add to prevent the weird distortion?
I just received a new Dell Studio. I have the latest Flash installed. I can view Flash websites fine, and I can watch videos on all sites... except, [URL]. In fact, the video loads and a picture is displayed. The problem is that the picture is badly distorted. See the screenshot below. The top of the image is crystal clear, but the bulk of the video can not be viewed. This is different than the other threads with Flash/NHL problems. I can see something, and hear the videos fine. but... Its as if the video is in digital purgatory.
View 2 RepliesI am triggering short sounds dynamically from the library for a game (Specifically Air for Android). When the user clicks a button the sound can take up to 600ms to actually play. I have set it for any silence before the actual sound by calling the sound like so:

All return the same results. I know there are threads here that talk about this but none have offered a real solution that I can find. Is there no way to cache the sound or store it in a buffer?
For some reason I was not able to edit my posts and my posts were being filtered, so they didn't get sent. Then they all got suddenly posted resulting in this mess. I also accidently double-posted the whole topic for the same reason.

Just upgraded literally 2 days ago. Exporting a 525*275 size .swf, I reduced quality to Medium and JPEG quality to 50, and tried exporting in both Flash Players 9 and 10 with no luck. I can't find strict mode which I was told would help. One root keyframe, 13 buttons, 2 MCS and just 150+ lines of AS code. Some of the MCs have .jpg files loaded in for temp art (I code, I sadly can't draw). Ran Disk Cleanup and Defragmenter and restarted the computer with no luck.
