IDE :: TweenMax Drop Shadow Hiccup?
Mar 10, 2009
So, the good news is that I've got this about 90% solved. Anyway, I'm trying to use TweenMax to have a drop shadow fade up on a Mouse Event (on a roll out). Everything works fine except for the shadow color. I've got it set to black (0x000000), but it's making a shadow that's the same color as the menubar sprite it's trying to shadow.
In other words: I've got a bright blue menu button, and it's giving it a bright blue shadow, despite the fact that I've got the color value set to 000000. Basically, I've got some code to put together the parts of the menubar (size, shape, text, shadow, etc.)

[URL]See the scrolling text on the flash banner? I added drop shadow filter to it and it isn't showing up, the drop shadow isn't there. I am making that scrolling happen with action script?

First i made the images with drop shadows in Illustrator and they looked fine there. When i copied them in to Flash they became pixelated.
I then got rid of the drop shadow in Illustrator and re-made it directly in Flash using the Filter/Drop Shadow property. It still is coming out very pixelated, even on "high quality" setting.

I'm using Flash CS5 on Macintosh.Googling has led me to maybe a dozen tutorials on creating a drop shadow in Flash, so I understand how the procedure is supposed to work. Select the object and then look for "Filters" and apply the "Drop shadow" filter. Simple enough.But it seems that you can only apply a filter to an "object." The things I've been trying to create a shadow on are of type "drawing object." Everything else I've tried to create or import has some other name, and none of them have the Filters menu.I'm embarrassed to have to ask about something that should be (and according to all the tutorials is) drop-dead simple, but I just don't see any way to create a drop shadow in Flash.

Flash CS5
Is it possible to add drop shadow to plan views of vehicles (vehicles are png images as MovieClips) such that as the vehicles change direction along roads (also png images) the shadow is always cast to north west ot the vehicle ? Buildings in the base png image have shadows but vehicles also need them so as to belong to the scene and not appear false.
Is there control over opacity and softness ?
If I were to have plan views of humans walking would the shadows follow the leg movements ?

This probably goes for all programming languages. I use Adobe Flash AS3 and for some reason that is boyond this post, I cannot use built-in dropshadow filters. I do, however, have bitmap data available, with color and alpha values. So there should be a way to draw my own dropshadow filter.... right? Any good existing algorithms I should go and check out? Not specifically looking for an AS3 implementation, any other example will probably allow me to convert the code.

It works pretty well, the only problem is that it makes the video much slower. If I take out the Drop Shadow Effect the video plays well. Is there a way to apply a Drop Shadow with AS3 without making the Video slower?

I have a grey rectangle, with a drop shadow that I use as a backdrop for some portfolio images, to view the images and and their explanation I have set up some rollover buttons at the side. Now every piece of type or image I lay over the grey box also has a drop shadow, no matter what I do, they have nothing attached to them in the filter menu....

I am trying to make a xml based portfolio in Flash CS5. I want to use a UILoader to load external images, but I want the images to have a drop shadow when displayed. I tried saving the image with a drop shadow in Photoshop with a .png format. When it was uploaded the image didn't show the drop shadow and had jaggy edges. Normally I use a filter in Flash but the option isn't available for the UILoader object. if there is a way my images can be displayed with a drop shadow, otherwise I will do without.

I have some textfields generated from code, and if I apply a drop shadow filter on them, sometimes the right or the bottom part of the textfields' border just disappear.
Code:
_passwordField.filters = [new DropShadowFilter(1, 45, 0, .75, 3, 3, 1, BitmapFilterQuality.HIGH)];
this is the line of code, which is responsible for this bug (is it a bug?) because if I comment it out, the borders render correctly.

I've dynamically drawn a gradient background on a little widget I've built (pulls in EPA/National Allergy Bureau climate data from a vendor, if you're curious), and I have applied an AS 2.0 drop shadow filter to the background. Standard stuff...except...
...I embedded the SWF using SWFObject and matching the dimensions of the widget stage exactly. And the left/right edges are cutting off. Are there any guidelines for using a background AS 2.0 drop shadow filter and accommodating the filter with the embed? It's a 10px (5px depth, 5px blur) 90-degree filter, and I left room on the stage for the 10px below the background. But the "edge" I expect to see on the embed isn't showing up.
Here's the filter code, BTW:
Code:
outlineShadow = new DropShadowFilter(5,90,0x000000,0.33,5,5,1,2,false,false,false);

I finished my flash logo for work and am now having a problem when trying to publish/export/play the file. On frame 110 when the first shimmer crosses the "M" I get a hiccup on that frame, it should be a smooth transition. Once the video plays once the replay works fine, but this is going to be the intro to our website, one time view.
The playback was working great the day before. Today, after some more tweeks, not so good. Only thing I could fathom was maybe too many masks (added 1 more today, 3 in total) were being applied but I tried removing all masks and am still having the same problem.

This one is going to take some setup, so bear with me,I have built an actionscript file to be used as a class library (i think that is what i would call it), it looks like this:
[Code]...
That is to say, when i press a key on the keyboard once, the loaded movie follows the mouse. But when i press the same key again, the first loaded movie stops, and the new one loaded follows the mouse. What happens. I should note that when i use and #include to call the same chunk of code, the problem vanishes.

I've got a placed png file in flash that is set to multiply for it's blending. It's a shadow.If I were to put an image below in the flash file it would look fine, however I'm having save it out as is and pass on to a developer who's laying the swf file over an image on a html page.When this is done the shadow looks bad as it's transparency fades through white, so when on a dark image in the html page it looks rubbish. Is there a way to achieve a good look as if the dark image was in flash? Should I be creating the shadows in photoshop differently?

I'm still relatively new to Java and Android development, so I'm still unfamiliar with the multitudes of libraries available for use, particularly for animation. Where I'm from (the Flash world), we have access to several 3rd-party tweening engines that make life very easy for us when we want to programmatically move things around the stage without relying on the (vastly inferior) built-in Adobe tween APIs. One of the most popular is Greensock's TweenMax
Looking at the way Android handles tweening natively, it appears to be very cumbersome compared to what I'm used to. I'm curious if there's a TweenMax-equivalent library out there for Android that makes animation sequencing equally easy to write in-code, with the benefits of smart intellisense, rather than having to write them all out in an external animation.xml file in the res folder.

i'm pretty new user with TweenMax and i have simple question. Usually using flash built-in TweenEvent i could get the object that is tweening, using e.target.obj. But then apparently i couldn't do it if i use Greensock TweenEvent, because it seems unable to retrieve the object as the property "obj" could not be found.
What should i write that is equivalent to "e.target.obj"?
