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.

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.

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.

"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".

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?

I've been using the motion editor for my Motion Tweens, but as you probably know, I can't use the motion editor on a Shape Tween. Is there no way to do this? I just want it to slowly ease in.

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

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?

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.

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!

I'm just now trying the Motion Editor for the first time in CS4 Professional. I've created a shape, converted it to a symbol, done an Insert Motion Tween, and brought up the Motion Editor. I'm looking for Rotation X and Rotation Y, but only see Rotation Z. My Publish Settings are Flash Player 10, ActionScript 3.

i want to make a sliding panel with 2 buttons on it. The panel pops up from the bottom of the screen when the mouse is hovering over the the bottom 25 pixels of the screen. The panel is set to disappear when the user hovers the mouse off of the panel. At first i just tried to put buttons on the panel and covert the whole thing to a symbol, but then i could not access the individual properties of the buttons. What i tried instead is to make invisible buttons over the area where the image of the buttons were on the panel. The problem is that when now when the user hovers over the button, flash reads it as the mouse leaving the panel and the panel disappears.

I'm setting up a functional test suite for an application that loads an external configuration file. Right now, I'm using flexunit's addAsync function to load it and then again to test if the contents point to services that exist and can be accessed.
The trouble with this is that having this kind of two (or more) stage method means that I'm running all of my tests in the context of one test with dozens of asserts, which seems like a kind of degenerate way to use the framework, and makes bugs harder to find. Is there a way to have something like an asynchronous setup? Is there another testing framework that handles this better?

We used the FLARmanager, developed a nice little app, runs find locally, runs fine on our dev Linux server.Put it on an IIS server. When we click on the 'allow webcam' prompt, the webcam control panel pops up (as usual), butthere is no camera image displayed. The camera light does not come on. The camera control panel goes awayCould it be server configuration? Settings? Security? Why would it be different on different servers, all things being equal?

I have a button on a swf that works fine (click it and it launches a html page) on its own when rendered as a swf - the code forwards to a new page on a html site.[code]but I have used a separate preloader to help load in the graphic, the trouble is this does not seem to pass on the above code, yet the rollover code (that makes the mc resize a little) that is a layer or 2 into the bttn works fine in the original swf and the preloader.[code]
I wonder if anyone could advise me as to how, in as3, I can regain the click functionality back so the swf works after being preloaded.Also, is there a quick way to get the 'finger' pointer instead of the 'arrow' one if I so wished?.

In one of the clips it has a scroller but when I apply the alpha effect it makes the scrollbar not functional.How can I make an alpha effect like this with making everything inside the MC functional?I was using this type of code by the way: my_mc.alphaTo(20,1);

I have created a drop down menu all as one movieclip. I have placed for the variable, event listener within my scripts layer in this movieclip as it should be, no errors. It works fine if I attempt to navigate from my main navigation buttons (ones that can be rolled over and clicked on (when rolling over them, it also unmasks a menu of submenu buttons. However, my issue is that if i attempt to change this navigation code to the submenu button, it no longer performs as it should (again, no errors). The only difference is that my submenu buttons are on a layer underneath the main buttons within this same movieclip, and they are masked by a shape for the rollover event.
[Code]....
if i change the home_btn back to site_btn (a submenu button), it no longer functions, but works properly when assigned to home_btn.
