View 2 RepliesFrom some reason when I'm importing a PNG sequence onto stage, it's loading all of the PNGs into one frame instead of distributing them into their own keyframes like it's supposed to. I've seen this problem posted before. Anybody have a solution for this? I've also seen that people have posted that Flash CS3 HATES After Effects PNGs....how bizarre....I'm starting to figure that out.
View 3 RepliesI 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'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.
View 2 RepliesI am importing a picture in flash and i found out that there is a difference between importing to the stage, and importing to the library... [URL] I've placed both picture close of each other and if you look closely, you'll notice that one of them is losing some resolution. Both picture come from the same file, a png. The picture imported to the stage is sharper than the one imported to the library. is there a way to import that picture to the library without losing any resolution?

View 3 RepliesI have a peice of video that I exported as a swf from after effects. Now that i've imoprted it into flash it's broken down into a squence of images. The problem is I need to move the video (Pics) but obviuosly I can only move 1 image at a time and that's a real pain as there is nearly 80 of them. I really need a way of moving all of them at the same time. Highlighting all the frames and moving them doesn't work.
View 1 RepliesI'm coming to Flash from a mixed graphic design / 3D animation / motion graphics background. In any of the animation programs I've used before, including After Effects, parenting is a simple operation. ...But it seems that in flash, it's more complex. So far, I am beginning to understand that it has to do with nested scenes, or nested time lines (which may be the same thing?)... So my question is... What is the easiest way to parent one object to another?

View 1 RepliesI normally use onEnterFrame = function(){} when I want the program to check every frame for things like coordinates, collision detection, if I pushed button, or clicked the mouse on a specific location.
Normally when I want to make a switch, I use a boolean statement, such as
if(conditionA == 0){effect;} or if(conditionA == 1){effect;}
if(conditionB == true){effect;} or if(conditionB == false){effect;}

View 1 RepliesI 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?
How can I do something like this: (Mask 1, 10, 15 are nice)[URL]But also make it go to a certain frame? (Like go to frame 5)The problem is I downloaded it but it's in AS2 and I need AS3.
