CS4 Motion Editor Never Available

Nov 4, 2009

I recently migrated from CS3 to CS4, and have a question about the "Motion Editor". In principle it sounds fantastic, but I can never get it to work on any of my fla files. The tab is there, but when I select a tween span in any of my files, the Motion Editor continues to say "to edit properties, select a tween span in the timeline or a tweened object in the document." Nothing I do can get the Motion Editor to show anything but this.

Is this because the Motion Editor works only on tweens in new fla files created in CS4? (My existing files were all created in CS3.) Very frustrating, as I would like to use this new feature. I tried to get it to work in a new CS4 file, creating a tween and going to the Motion Editor tab, but.

CS4 / New Tweens / Motion Editor

Apr 28, 2010

I'm struggling through trying to learn the new tween system. Is it just me or did they completely NUKE workflow with this new system? Is there any way to copy and paste the property keyframes?I often have animations where things loop, so the last frame of the motion tween needs to be the same as the first frame. In the old days I would just select and copy multiple keyframes from frame 1 and paste them at the end. Done in 5 seconds. The only way I can find to do this now is to hand set every freaking property on every freaking keyframe of every freaking object.

CS3 The Motion Editor Is Not Working

Sep 2, 2010

"How do I get the motion editor to show easing controls"?

I've just made my first flash movie in flash cs4 and I wanted to add easing to the (classic) tweens I created. I tried selecting the first graphic, then I tried selecting the (classic) tween span, but each time I go into the motion editor it just says "To edit properties, select a tween span in the timeline or a tweened object in the document".

Playhead Not Functional In Motion Editor?

Sep 4, 2009

The playhead in Motion Editor doesn't work and I'm seeing in tutorials.I can't scrub it along the timeline.When I pick a keyframe point it doesn't appear there unless I change the value of that point. If I then click on the playhead rectangle, the playhead disappears (actually it appears to jump to the first frame where it's half visible and can't be moved).I was playing with the motion editor interface trying to better define the problem and I figured out what's wrong.

The Motion Editor values for graph size, expanded graph size, and viewable frames were unusable in their default settings. In particular, viewable frames were set to 1 by default. As I increased the value the playhead started to function. I can't set a value higher than 117. I've maxed-out the graph size setting at 180 (300" wide format display) and the expanded graph size at 200.

Professional :: Using Ease In The Motion Editor?

Apr 23, 2010

I really like the motion editor in CS4. A lot is easier than before, particularly working with ease. But I wounder how you use the custom curve when having a complicated motion with a lot of keyframes. In programs like AE it's easy to select a key and tell if it's going to be a easy in/out or both, and then I select next key and tell how that key should ease. In Flash CS4 I allways get a easy curve that range the entire tween. Is the workflow to brake everything apart so you tween every single motion, or is it another way doing it?

ActionScript 3.0 :: 3D Rotation Inconsistent Between Motion Editor &amp?

Nov 21, 2008

I'm trying to access the rotationY property in code to determine the current state of a movie clip that has its rotationY animated in the motion editor. What I'm seeing is that the value of the property reported in a trace stmt is different than the value shown in the motion editor.

In the motion editor I created a tween from rotationY=0 at frame 0 to rotationY=353 at the last frame. I've added the attached code to get the value of rotationY at every frame.

What I see is that the rotation does not increase steadily from 0 to 353. Instead it increases from 0 to 90 and then decreases back to 0 and then goes negative to -90 at which point the absolute values decrease toward 0. This seems like a bug. The rotation of the object is visibly different during the 0 to 90 deg

Flash Motion Editor - Rotation Y Property

Jun 24, 2009

I recently installed Flash CS4. As I attempt to learn from different tutorials I've run into a problem I can't figure out. I've watched the video tutorial at: [URL] several times to try to emulate the rotating logo. The problem I run into is when he says to open the Motion Editor and to edit the Rotation Y and Rotation Z properties. When I open my Motion Editor there is no Rotation Y or Rotation X. There is only a Rotation Z property. I've played it over and over to try to discover what setting I've missed but don't see it. How do I see a Rotation Y property to be able to edit it?

Create / Apply Easing With CS4 Motion Editor

Jul 6, 2009

Is it just me or is creating and applying custom easing with the motion editor absurdly difficult? Firstly, the bezier curve tool for custom easing has a mind of its own. It will change the curve at a different anchor point to the one you're editing on a whim and every time you get close to where you want the curve it does it again and you're back to square one. Second, you have to recreate a custom ease for every tween as there's no way to save them. It's impossible to create two custom eases exactly the same! The entire motion editor seems designed to infuriate me and parts of it don't seem to have been tested at all.

Professional :: Motion Editor Transformation Grayed Out

Jun 28, 2010

Why are the scale x and y options grayed out on the motion editor? I tried editing width and height (W&H) in the "properties panel" under "position and size" and all that does is move the position my object diagonally for some reason, not scale the size. Also, when i do this, the Width number does not change, but the x and y position numbers above it change. Strange!

Flash - FLV Player To Allow Scrubbing Forward?

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on playing FLV video on a website. I'm currently using JW player and it works great. The only problem is people can't scrub forward past what is cached. For instance, I want to click on the video and immediately click half way through it to start playing in the middle of the video. Can this be done with JW player, or do you suggest another FLV player?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Audio Playhead For Scrubbing Along Timeline?

May 31, 2010

I'm working on an audio player with a scrubbable playhead, per Kenny Bellew's outstanding tutorials [URL]In order to learn the mechanics and test drive it, I was able to create a fully functional model in its own movie. Now I'm trying to apply it to an MC nested in a larger project and I'm having trouble.The main website (w/o the audio part installed) is [URL]A smaller version that only has the part I'm working on (for this question) is [URL]The songloading and play/pause/stop are working fine. (I'll be adding a song loading preloader later--the songs are dynamically loaded), but I can NOT get the playhead working completely. It will track the progress of the song, but if dragged, the song stops, the playhead snaps back into its original place, and the song stops for good (until re-loaded).

I'm just calling something incorrectly--the whole Audio section is in the _root.Audio MC, and the songs are loaded in to audioSong.

The code for the drag head:

------
onClipEvent (load) {
startPosition= _root.Audio.hslider._x; // hslider is the knob.
left = _root.Audio.hslider._x;
top = _root.Audio.hslider._y;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Audio Progress Bar Scrubbing/slider?

Jan 31, 2012

I have an audio progress bar that I have created. It uses the following code:

Code:
import flash.events.Event;progress_bar_inst.tb_mc.scaleX = 0;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,EnterFrame);
function EnterFrame(evt:Event):void {
progress_bar_inst.tb_mc.scaleX = instructor_audio.currentFrame/instructor_audio.totalFrames;
}

It works great! But I would like to add the ability to "scrub" or use a slider to move forward and back in the audio clip. (like it does with FLV Playback component) I have no idea how to do this. DOes anyone have any info on this, or is there an easy way to add to my existing code to add this functionality?

Professional :: Flash CS4 Crashing When Scrubbing Playhead Or Using Certain Tools

Nov 17, 2010

I am currently having the unfortunate experience of learning Flash Pro as part of my degree program at school. I have been having a problem with the program crashing repeatedly. I have CS4 Web Premium, an educational discount edition, and am using it on an HP pc with an AMD Athlon and Nvidia v-card. I have had problems with it crashing on this computer when using tools such as the deco-tool and sometimes when transforming something. The real problem is when I try to use one of the Dell pc's at school to work on a file I have created at home on the HP. On 4 different machines at school Flash will crash when working on one of these files, especially when scrubbing the playhead on the timeline. The program will crash over and over, to the point where I can't really work on these files at school, which is a huge waste of time.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Constraining Mouse Cursor When Scrubbing Video?

Jun 21, 2011

Basically, I have a custom "scrub bar" graphic in which the user can drag a slider forward or backward in time to scrub/seek to a certain point in an external F4V.I have my slider constrained by a rectangle of 1 pixel in height. But when I click with mouse to scrub, my mouse cursor tends to move off of the slider graphic, causing problems with my MOUSE_UP event. (It can't trigger when my mouse is not over the target object).Is there a way like "new Rectangle(32,713,944.1)" to keep the mouse from moving in the Y-axis as the user drags the slider left and right to scrub video?
