Im having a problem where i have a project with 1 frame but in that 1 frame is a movie clip that has more frames inside of it but when i export as a gif it only shows the 1 frame. how can i export my project to an animated gif?
and yes i have the publish settings for gif set to animated.
I 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 RepliesI have made a christmas card in flash - but I need to export it as an animated gif of it - which I can do easily enough - my proble is the quality - it defaults to screen 72dpi but if I want better resolution it increases not only the DPI but the actual file dimensions - mega large.How can I get around 150-200 DPI and retain the original canvas size?

View 6 RepliesI have made a relatively short movie ( 90 frames ) and am trying to make it an animated gif so that I can attach it to emails. When export it everything looks crisp and smooth except the text looks awful - all pixelated. Increasing the resolution that the movie is exported at does The text looks horrible even at 300 dpi. How can I make the movie an animated gif and keep the font looking good? Is there any way to make it look as crisp as in the swf. I have tried different anti-aliasing settings but nothing seems to work.

View 7 RepliesFLASH CS5 using Windows XP. I have created an animation that I want to export to sequence of .png files. The file has Symbols that contain embedded animations.
For instance, I have a flashing light in one Symbol. That is embedded in a bouncing police car Symbol. The police car Symbol (with the embedded flashing light) is brought onto a flat bed truck at the "scene" level which is driving down a road. It all looks nice if I render an internal swf file. However, when I export the individual frames, all that is rendered is the flat bed moving down the road. The bouncing car and the flashing light are there but without the animation of each.
how to export an animated sequence that include the animations embedded in its Symbols?
Is it possible to export a animated movie clip in flash to an AVI file and save it to my desktop using action script at runtime.
View 1 RepliesI have a series of thumbnails that I have made into movieclips so that I could animate them. I have named all the instances. I have a main jump page to go to a particular picture. Each picture has a set of thumbnails (movie clips) that are animated on each. When I built it, they work fine by themselves, but when I created my "jump page" the smaller thumbs lose their overstate and onRelease. My actionscript loads on the jump page and to a frame that I request with no problem, but. Why is my actionscript not working?
stop();
mike.onRollOver = over;
mike.onRollOut = out;
mike.onRelease = down;

I'm using AS3 with Flash CS4. I have three movieclips, all using buttonMode, which animates when the mouse is over the MC (MOUSE_OVER) and when the mouse leaves the MC (MOUSE_OUT), using listeners. Or in fact, when the cursor is over one MC the other two animates. My problem is that when i move the mouse cursor from one MC directly to another one, the MC's aren't done animating the MOUSE_OUT-animation before it starts to do the MOUSE_OVER-animation. Probably a recurring issue with an easy solution.
Is there a way to check what frame the MC's are currently at and then use an IF-statement to check what should happen next? Or how am i suppose to approach this problem you think? I'm sort of a Flash newbie, i've just taken some [URL] courses.
I'm having a problem getting my animated rollOn/Off buttons (movieclips) to play when they are nested in another movieclip's timeline.
I'm trying to build a drop down menu. On the main timeline I have a movieclip with a button inside it on frame one. When you roll over this button it plays from frame 2 to 10 which is my menu dropping out. When the menu is fully dropped it is made of further buttons (movieclips again) that fade to a different colour when rolling on, and should fade back when rolling off. When you roll off of the menu, everything reverses back to frame 1.
Here is the script I used for the rollon and rolloff reversing, I got this from another website:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
[Code]....
The main Afternoon cakes button is to the right, and the white boxes to the left show how they should work. They work fine when on the main timeline, but do nothing when they are inside the movieclip.
ated menu panel (movieclip) with about 4 buttons inside it (as movieclips)I know the reason the buttons are not responding to my script because the movieclip they are in is animated. (I tested this with a static version and the button script works)How can I make the buttons inside the animated movieclip work is my big question!?Here is part of my code (the revelant bit) on 1st frame of Root:
Code:
// Menu animation script:
this.menu_mc.onRollOver=function(){

I am an intermediate/moderately experienced AS3 programmer - however, I am having a few issues with resizing my background mc (mcBG), that contains a mask with bounds which go beyond the dimensions of the stage, to display correctly.
I know my script works (well, at least this much) so that if a static image of 1000px * 800px is placed inside the mcBG movieclip, the background fills the screen as intended.
However, if I change that static image (inside mcBG) to be either: a movieclip (mcAnimMask) which contains an animated mask (which has elements larger than the 1000px * 800px bounds, eg: 4500px * 3000px) or,2 layers (mask, and animated layer (dimensions: eg 4500px * 3000px) - framed tweening)...the resize script resizes mcBG to be the greatest dimensions of the files contained within it - ie: it does not fit the screen correctly, in fact it appears to be about 60% smaller than the original (which should be 1000px * 800px).
I am a noob to Flash AS3, having a problem loading animated MC's. I am creating an AS3 file. I have 5 animated movie clips, I want to load a new clip after the previous one is done animating. I would like to load each clip with code. I can get them to load, but not sure how to removeChild after 1 cycle of animation and add the new child to follow.
View 1 RepliesI am making a game with movie clips that spawn, and I have a preloaders so I have to uncheck all of the export in first frames. But now they don't export at all. Any hints? I would like to make the movieclips export in frame 3.
View 15 RepliesSince the demensions of some of them, i.e. phones as opposed to tablets, have a much smaller screen, wanted to use different sets of mc's depending on screen size (device dimension wise, not resolution).So a smaller device would use the mc's with larger gfx so they would still be decipherable and the larger devices could use smaller gfx so to be abale to get a larger part on the screen at the same time- I could just scale the entire screen clip all the time, but this will slow it down too much i think- I could create multiple instances and use different names and then sort them out run time in AS, but this would also steal processor time. Im not really for that.
- I could publish multiple versions, depending on device its for. But this would require me to maintain multiple sources on upgrades. I can feel the hurt already.I was hoping it is possible somehow to export the movieclips as .swf's or something and then sorting out run time wich one to import/use/load.Then, hopefully i can refer to them in my code with the same name's but they will be different sizes depending on wich i had chosen to include/load.
I'm trying to create a game in flash cs4 to then export it as a SWC class so I later on can work with the movieclips in flex. However I can't seem to get multiple levels of movieclips to work, example:
main_clip-> icons -> dude_1
dude_1 have a couple of rows script, when I now export main_clip I can only access main_clip and icons, the script inside dude_1 wont run but the movieclip is exported..
I found a workaround my copying dude_1 to the same level as icons and hide it, that way the script will run inside the third level of movieclips. Is there a reason why I can't just access the movieclips inside the second level of movieclips when I export the file as a SWC?

View 1 RepliesI'm having a really odd problem with Flash CS5 where I'm getting random compiling errors for movie clips that are exported for actionscript. These are simple graphics that will be created at runtime. Nothing special.
When I first open the project it gives errors for all the symbols in the project, but if I open and save the settings dialog the errors go away. Sometimes I have to go into individual symbols and check/uncheck the "export for actionscript" box. This is a AS2/Flashlite project.[code]...
Am I completely hallucinating or what ? 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 5 RepliesI have a button that each time it's being press, it will load a mc that's located in the library.
The movie clip is text that's located in a mc, that i can fade in the text when the parent mc is called (meaning, text in a mc in a mc).
How can I do this actrion, where each time the button is pressed the mc will load? tried a few things such as loadmovie, attachmovie, but some how it doesn't work for me.
I gave my parent mc an instant and tried with the butoon calling it. didn't work.

I am a high school student who has an assignment to develop a Flash Video. My goal is to make a really cool Flash Video by downloading a Youtube video of paintballers and then converting their images to a line drawing and then animating the line drawing. Well the problem is that after I've imported the FLV into Flash CS5 I find it impossible to edit out an internal chunk of the video. Every time I try to remove a chunk of the video, it ONLY DELETES A SECTION FROM THE END OF THE VIDEO!
Now, it should be a simple process, select the chunk, Edit->Timeline->Remove Frames
It seems so obvious that I don't mean to delete the END of the video, I mean to delete the highlighted section. What's the point of highlighting a section if you're just going to delete "X" amount of frames on the end? Shouldn't this feature be called, "Delete frames from end of video"?
