IDE :: Flash Animation - One Lake Which Changes Its Shape During The Closeup
Apr 17, 2010
i'm currently working on one animation that is going to become video in the future. But i have come across a difficulty. I have two views of a meadow. The first one is far and the second is close. My biggest problem is one lake which changes its shape during the closeup. I have the first and the last positions of the lake, but cant figure out how to transform from one to the other. So my request is for advice from your side. What is the best way to do this animation.

Very often I see on the web many flash websites very amazing for their animation in flash. For example, in monster template you can see the paper's animation like that: http:[url].... Watch the BEST DESIGN STUDIO animation... These animations aren't made with flash, but with a software from which to export a swf file that contains a sequence of shapes.What is it? It seems to work in 3d, but the objects moved are always planes and not 3d models.

Usually when I make a shape I can select it with the selection tool and lots of dots appear on the shape showing that I have selected it. I was playing around with some key commands and I think I accidentally did something now when I select a shape it ha sa thin blue outline. Can someone please describe what this means and how I can change from this to the other option?

I'm creating an animation kinda like a travel map, x - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - x .where the x's equal the start and the end point, and the dashs are like your direction etc, a good example is if you've ever seen those pirate movies where they have the maps and it shows where they have to go.is if there is a better way to do it than I currently am (Still finding my way around the whole Animation thing - and I'm sure theres an easier way than this!)
At the moment I'm going frame by frame and in adding objects, so for example, in frame one I have my 'x' object, then frame two I pasted the 'x' object plus one 'dash' objects, and so on and so forth, and I have a feeling that doing this is going to take agessss, and I'm sure there must be an easier way! I essentially need the 'x' object to span across ALL of my frames, is there a command or something for this? I'm not too knowledgeable with tweening, but can it be done with that?

I have been producing animation on my Mac using shape tweens and hints where necessaryUnfortunately when these files are then opened on one of my colleague's PCs the shape tweens appear broken as the hints have dissapeared.If the file is opened on another Mac this does not happen.I have yet to spend too much time focussing on testing the whys and wherefores of this problem, but wondered if this is a recognised issue or is a one off

I am looking to create the appearance of a shape being drawn. I need a few shapes, but for the example think of a simple U. I have tried several different approaches. First, I tried a shape tween at 45 degree increments. That was a wrong approach. Then I tried using After Effects, but the movies lacked flexibility and were laggy. Currently I am building the shapes using two shape tween MCs(an arc that goes 11.25 degrees and a line that goes 21px), and repeating it.
This seems to be working, but is very tedious, and lacks flexibility. i.e. if I decided I want the shape just a bit shorter I have to remove the MC incident from every frame. Also I have no possiblity of changing the speed without completely rebuilding the shape becasue I'm doing a frame by frame animation.

I'm new to Adobe Flash CS4. I'm making an animation of some fish underwater. I have 2 small fish motion tweened to follow a large fish from left to right. When I view the animation in full screen the small fish seem to be wiped off the screen at a certain point. The tween box continues to follow it's path but the symbol disappears. This only seems to happen with larger objects.

ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Base extends MovieClip {
public var baseHP:int = 50;
var newRect:Shape = new Shape();
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Shape. 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Shape. What does it mean by "undefined method"? I am somewhat of a newby, so sorry if there are any stupid errors

using the shape tool you can draw basic shapesthen using the subselection tool you can re-shape them by relocating certain points
What i want to do is create a tween whereby one of the points is movedthe problem is you have to convert to a symbol first and after you have done that you cant change the shapes shape.so how do i go about using a motion tween to change the shape of a shape?

I made an animation in Flash which I want to embed in Flex using SWFloader.
I've imported the tweener class (caurina.transitions.*) to tween a rotation. The animation runs perfectly in Flash.
However, when I embed the animation in Flex, the tweening is gone.
Do I need to import the tweener class in Flex?
I use Flash Player 10 (latest version), Flash CS4 Professional version 10.0.02, IE8 and Flex Builder 3.

I have a certain set of motion twains that I've successfuly completed, they constantly loop right now (default), and is saved in the SWF file.I'd like to take that finished looping animation, and insert it within another animation (a) that can be played with a play button, and stopped/resetted with a stop button.How do I insert the completed looping animation into the main animation? And is there something special I have to do in the actionscript of the start and stop buttons so that the "inner" looping animation will start and stop with the "outer" main animation?

I have a movieclip that shows an animation onRollOver and an animation on RollOut but onRelease the animation enlarge itselfs but now when I'll roll out when the animation isn't open (so i didn't release) the animation plays the animation for the minimizing of the animation. Here's my code (I know its a bit amateuristic but I'm not a programmer )

I am completely in the woods here - i have a sprite with a shape drawn in there (there are two different sprites in the example.) At any given point, I need to get the x and y value of the topmost point of the shape. The sprite does rotate so it's going to change at any point as well. I don't even know where to begin here

I have a filled Shape, and a BitmapData that is the same width and height as the Shape's bounding box. I need to cut the Shape from the BitmapData (basically draw the BitmapData onto the shape...) [URL]I use the rather hackish method of:
public static function cutPoly(img:BitmapData, s:Shape, bounds:Bounds):BitmapData {
var temp:BitmapData = new BitmapData(bounds.width, bounds.height, true);
Main.inst.stageQuality("low"); //hack to kill anti-aliasing

Note: I am only using the Flash animation in IE only as I created an equivalent, jQuery based animation for all other browsers (because, surprise, IE didn't handle the jQuery version).look at this in IE only.The Problemhen you hover over the dropdown menus, the Flash animation temporarily "freezes" and the continues. This causes choppy behavior in the Flash animation.

Okay, now things are getting a little complicated. I need to build a Flash object that can sit over the corner of an image to serve extra content. It's way beyond my Flash skill level, my work is usually limited to print work in Photoshop and Illustrator so please excuse me if any of the following isn't clear. I am trying to learn though, So this is how it's all supposed to work, along with my issues; When the image & Flash item load a small looping animation will play to draw the eye/show the item as interactive.
When the user rolls over this the corner will peelback. I have a working peelback animation for the rollover, that reacts to mouse over/mouse off, and a looping animation for the initial, but I cannot work out how to make the initial loop until mouseover, then play the peelback when the mouse is over. And go back to the initial animation loop if the user rolls off. (Each of these animations is stored as a movie clip in the Library)
Then it gets more complicated... if the user stays on the corner until it is fully peeled back I need to make a small countdown (sort of a 3, 2, 1 situation) show, before launching a lightbox (would this have to be jQuery, or could it be done in Flash?) in the browser to serve the content.

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?

I 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.

I 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...

The issue I am having is how to tackle forming a logo using circles. I have done one letter manually, however it would take forever to do this with every single letter, and so I am asking here if anyone knew of a faster method. Requirements:
- Has to fill non-circular letters(i.e. does not have to be precise, but look like it has edges)
- Circles have to animate in, therefore they need to have drop shadow and seem like they are landing in place
