Professional :: 9-slice Scaled Object Won't Export As Transparent PNG
Aug 13, 2009
Is it possible to export a 9-slice scaled object as a transparent PNG? At the moment File > Export > Export Image > Transparent PNG will not output any 9-slice objects. This is quite a hassle, since I can't seem to get these objects transparently into Photoshop or Illustrator (both CS4) - what's the use of working with 9-slice objects if you can't export them flattened even to other applications? I use them extensively, but looks like I will have to convert them all the separate movieclips without this cool functionality, since it is more a pain than anything else once you need to use these graphics outside Flash CS4.
Am I missing something? "Work seamlessly between Adobe apps" is starting to sound more than a marketing/sales pitch than an actual reality. I have tried export these images as EPS/AI to open in Illustrator CS4 - they don't come out correctly at all / gradients messed up / errors on open. So, no more 9-slice scaling objects if I want to export to tranparent PNG from the IDE?

ROLL_OUT event isn't always stopping the cursor from drawing. If the cursor is moved very slowly, you can draw outside the drawingBoard_mc area despite my event listener. I tried MOUSE_OUT too without success.
drawingBoard_mc is 600x100 pixels. When I call PNGExport and pass the clip and size the PNG from drawingBoard_mc.height and drawingBoard_mc.width I sometimes end up with a few extra pixels like... 607x101. This generally happens when the pen drew past the drawingBoard_mc slightly.
Missing Feature:
export the PNG with just black lines (drawn by the user) and a transparent background. Currently I have to edit the file afterward to remove the white background.[code]...

I imported a video into flash and have a transparent photoshop layer to create an iPod skin. The video works fine, but I cannot get the "stage" to be transparent so that you do not see the flash background color behind the iPod skin.
I've read in the forums and have followed the instructions here from Adobe. If you look at my code, I have

It seems 9-slice scaling in Flash CS5 is a little half-baked. If you create a symbol containing text and vector graphics, only the vector graphics is scaled according to the 9-slice scaling contract. For example, consider the following symbol:
Sure, the vector graphics are scaled according to the 9-slice contract, but what are we supposed to do about text? And just in case you're thinking "convert the text to vectors/raster"... unfortunately no... I don't have the option of converting the text to a set of vectors or a raster because its content will have to be dynamic.

I have a simple graphic, a rectangle with 3 rounded corners with 9-slice scaling applied. When I scale it non-proportionally, the round corners keep their shape as expected. BUT if I then rotate it the round corners lose their shape and become ellipticaly distorted! If I rotate first and then scale the same thing happens.

I'm trying to use 9-slice to animate a natively created flash movieclip. It's a rounded-corner box, with a little speech-bubble pointy thing jutting out of the bottom left corner. I have 9-slice enabled, and the slices have been repositioned close to the corners. When I distort/grow the MC on the flash stage, it's fine... but as soon as I try to animate the growth, it gets all wonky?
If I use the newer Motion tween style, it's messed up all the way through except for the first frame? And if I use a traditional tween, with the proper small box start frame, and modified/grown end frame... it will look right for the first and last frame of the animation, but its as if the 9-slice isn't working during the tween? I've inserted a series of screen caps to illustrate the traditional tween issue.

I have scaled down some JPG's in flash and they look fine but when I publish to a SWF they look pixelated. I've read other threads and done what is suggested i.e. Smoothing on or off, JPG's instead of PNG's and quality at 100% with no success. I know that Flash isn't a resolution based application and bitmaps are but the images look fine in the Flash IDE.

I have a video inside of another movieclip. When I go full screen, I scale up the outer movieclip to fit the screen. So that OuterMovieClip.width is equal to screenWidth etc. How do I maintain the aspect ratio on my video so it does not get distorted? Whats the proper math for that?

I'm scaling text from small to large using tweens, but when the text is scaled, it turns into these unreable blobs. The text is still editable, just not useful. (The output looks fine, however.)Is there a setting, or a different method, I should be using to scale text in a tween to prevent this?

I'm wanting to create a moving object that will be exported into a tv commercial. Object has already been created in Adobe Illustrator, and now will be dropped into flash for adding movement. The destination commercial will be created in Sony Vegas, with the settings of (Australian) PAL television (25 fps, 576x720 pixels, lower field first).Thus keeping it simple, I want to set Adobe flash with the same output format, meaning that the canvas will have to be 576x720 pixels at 25 fps. So far this seems to have worked okay.Now I'm wanting to get rid of the canvas colour, just like I have here in this photoshop screen shot.
Judging by the colour palette in Flash Professional, it looks like it can't be done. I've checked "transparent palette" through yahoo and google, and had no results. The adobe documentation only details how to remove a background in Photoshop.

have in my movie clip a png image with a Hole.
And I have another picture behind the png.
I've used this code to drag the picture:
Quote:
nave.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
nave.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void{
[Code].....
It works well, but only if the picture is is Front of the PNG image.

I have several objects that share a single mask. I can see all of them when wmode is set to window but i want the background image on the page to show through the flash and have designed the flash around that. However when I set the wmode to transparent some of the objects don't render at all even though others do and they share the same mask.

I'm having troubles getting the dimensions I'm looking for for a given display object. This display object has some transparent area to the top-left of the opaque content but to the bottom-right of 0,0. As such, the display object's reported width ONLY includes the opaque area, not the transparent area. For example:
Code:
var myChild:Sprite = new Sprite();
myChild.graphics.beginFill(0xff0000);
myChild.graphics.drawRect(100, 100, 100, 100);
myChild.graphics.endFill();
trace(myChild.width);
This reports 100 as the width and height. I need to somehow retrieve 200 as the width and height.
I'm trying to take a bitmapdata snapshot of the display object, but when I do new BitmapData(myChild.width, myChild.height) and then draw into it I don't get the full opaque content of myChild drawn because the dimensions are too small.

I made a banner for my company that I'd like to turn into a .gif file for our marketing strategies portion of our site. I am new to flash and can't seem to find the right export/publish settings to get the cleanest possible .gif file.
Would anyone mind looking at my attached .fla file to see where I might be going wrong. All of the images I imported into flash were edited in photoshop CS4 and saved as .png files. Is this the preferred method? When I export my animation it slows down and becomes all grainy. I am trying to create a .gif similar to the one I have also attached that was created in flash by a professional design firm. What would this guy (the guy that created the attached .gif file) have done differently?

When I go to export a flash file (command > enter) the swf either decides to play every 5th frame which I made 5 keyframes each at 20% more alpha each playing only the one at 100% alpha. It also brings in the line spacing so it is all mucked up. Everything is fine when I press enter to do timeline preview but not when I export swf does anyone have any idea why?

I've been having similar issues as many others regarding saving xfl and fla files out of flash cs5. I have managed to get through them with various methods of recreating files, make new flas, and coping the library over, and the like.. (All of which is crap by the way, saving issues should NEVER be an issue)The answer from support seems to be "You have a corrupt asset". If this is the case then flash corrupted it. </RANT>The issue I'm having now however, is that I can no longer get it to export a new swc. I'm using the swc with a Pure AS3 project.I can save the xfl file just fine.I can compile it and it doesn't complain (though there isn't much to compile other than images and movieclips containing those images)I can re-open the file just fine.
I am not saving across a network, but directly to a local disk.As far as I know, I don't have odd characters in the clip names, but if there are its by mistake, and there is virtually no way of discovering which one it is.I am on the latest version of Flash Pro CS5 (11.0.2.489)So, to Support:e at adobe please look at this file and tell me what is not allowing it to build the swc? Or better yet, tell me how to find out?I'm sure its breaking in the middle and giving up but not ever throwing an error.Is there a way to find out what asset is breaking it?

I have objects that the user can click&drag. They're PNGs, mainly rectangular, no problem till here.But I then had to put an L-shaped object (a PNG with a lot of transparency), so i've made a movieclip with an shape with the same L shape than the png, and use it as its hitArea:
shape.visible= false;
shape.mouseEnabled= false;
obj.addChild(shape);
obj.hitArea= shape;
This works PERFECT, the mouse events respond as expected, and I can click on objects that are below/above the transparent area of the png/object.All objects are inside a Sprite called playgroundLayer1. The issue comes when I take the L-shaped object and put it on another Sprite (playgroundLayer2), that is above the playgroundLayer1.I this case, I can click&drag on the L, but no object below the transparent area of the L receives mouse events.

I'm trying to export a .mov from a .fla file. Strange thing is happening. When I export the .mov, there are small sections of the vector animation that are missing or not showing up like missing puzzle pieces. I can't find anything about this. I've tried many different settings and they yield similar results.

Pardon my most likely newbie mistakes.I imported a FLV file I created in After Effects into Flash CS4, using the wizard. I choose the correct file path and no skin.Then using the FLV playback components I made a custom play/pause button.When I test the movie it works beautifully.Not when I export (I have tried quicktime movie and SWF). I think I only get one frame (the first frame is empty, so not 100% sure).I have never worked with Flash, is there something I need to do in the timeline, like setting an in and out point or something?
