I'm trying to learn Flash CS5, but having a bit of trouble with the basics. I start a new actionscript3 project and, whenever I try to draw anything, no matter what I select, it always comes out as a plain, green outline. For example, say I want to draw a red, dotted circle It should look something like this, but it will always come out like this

I have a few textAreas (input fields) in a form.When I click on the Tab key, the focus shifts to the textArea. And along with this, a green outline comes around the textArea... How can I avoid the textArea outline color? I guess there must be a piece of AS out there which would help, it's just I did not find it and Official Docs won't say much about it.it does not happen so if compiled the movie under AS 1.0. It only has this behaviour when published with AS 2.0 (and perhaps AS 3.0 donno).
View 8 RepliesI see some documentation about how to shoot video with a green screen and import it into Flash, but can it be done the other way around? Can you put a green screen color in the background of Flash and then incorporate it with video?
View 3 Repliesi am doing a project that requires real time green screening. Basically the user will see themselves onscreen (with the use of a webcam) with an animation happening behind and in front of them. There will be a green screen behind the user so how do i eliminate the green screen?

after updating to the latest flash player version, i get this double image top and bottom with a large green line running halfway from right to left.the top image is identical to the bottom image.this only happens in ie and does not do this in firefox.after a few days of trying to fix it and couldnt, i loaded an image prior to the flash player update to fix it.this was fine until i had to upgade the flash player again.im not sure if im doing this right but here is a bmp file of what im trying to describe .http:[url]...i can always restore the image again prior to upgrade but i got the feeling this will came back again and the only way to fix it is to fix it right.
I just upgraded from Flash CS3 to CS5 and when I draw something and try to convert it to a movie clip, duplicate it, etc. the entire drawing's outline just disappears.
View 5 RepliesWhy is it that now if I've got an alpha 0 movie clip on a layer and set the layer to outline, I can't see the movie clip? Outline mode used to ignore alpha!
View 1 RepliesI tried using:
btnname._focusrect = false;
It did kill the yellow outline but then I can't navigate using the up/down/right/left key anymore.
I run a school lab with a few users on each machine. One students came up with a problem. She is always in outline view, even when the outline button in the layers panels is not punched. When I log in to the same machine, I do not have the problem. I assume the problem is in the user preferences file. We are on Windows 7. I went into AppData and deleted what I thought was the preferences file, but it continues to return. Anyone have any ideas why I can't get her out of outline view? Adobe Flash CS5
View 3 RepliesI've noticed when browsing my flash site sometimes--not on every computer but--when I click on something (like a button) suddenly an outline or border appears around my entire flash movie. Anyone know what causes that and how to make it go away?
View 2 Repliesi saw a flash movie clip used on a site and I like the way it was designed. The whole length of the file file is stable and then only the image outline slides into view on the screen. i have tried to do that but my whole image slides in just like normal motion tween.

View 1 RepliesI've embedded an FLV file (created in Premiere Pro CS4) using Dreamweaver CS4 and I cannot get the actual video to show/play in any browser. If you right click where the video is located on the page, or highlight everything on the screen, you can see the defined outline of it, but nothing ever actually loads/shows. I uploaded all of the files that Dreamweaver created with its little FLV embed wizard, so I'm not sure what exactly I'm missing
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a program that's meant for graphics tablets in AS3. So far I can allow the user to draw a line across the stage so that they know where their moving their pen around. However I want this line to only be temporary, and so the graphics.Clear() method is called to remove it.
I'd like this to look a lot better however, as the line just instantly disappears. Does anyone know how I could add code that makes the line fade out to 0 alpha first before I call the clear command?

I draw a shape with the pen tool in Flash CS4. I made sure the shape was closed. But, I cannot fill the shape no matter what. Paint bucket tool does not work. Whatever I do, I get the red diagonal line on the fill color. I can fill a shape with the rectangle or oval tools but not the pen tool.

I'm working on a Flash presentation, and I have a lot of text pages with buttons and movie clips on. The problem I have is that all subheads are set to size 35pt using Helvetica Neue Heavy, but on a couple of the pages a random subhead is displaying a lot larger than 35pt (I'd say 50pt) but it is definitely set to size 35pt in the Character palette. I have no idea why this is happening and it's driving me mad.
View 1 RepliesI have built a Flash site and also set it up with alternate content so it can be viewed on iPhone and iPad as well as other mobile devices.

View 3 RepliesI maintain a website for a company that creates popUp displays for trade shows. Here is a link [URL]. I am pretty advanced in Flash and AS3, so I'm planning to make a utility for visitors to the website where they can take their picture(logo) and choose a few options and this will generate a render of what their display could look like.
I'm not sure even where to begin with distorting an image to fit a wave style display. We make renders often with maya, but we don't need flash to look THAT good, just an idea so people don't keep making basic mistakes like making their text unreadable. I just want to put flat designs and dynamically slap them on these fabric displays!
I made a swf file and embed it in my website.It displays properly in the mozilla firefox but not in my google chrome.Is this problem related to the browser or the way that I embeded my swf file.
View 1 RepliesWhenever I test or publish a CS5 movie that uses TLF text (no matter which font), the .swf displays all elements but the text. There's simply nothing there. I'm on a mac with Snow Leopard, 10.6.7. This only happens as soon as I pass the 1000 frame limit (before, everything displays fine). Reaching wit's end here. Anyone know what causes this, and more specifically, how to solve it?
View 1 RepliesUsing CS 5.5, I am using a single scene with buttons that all appear on the first frame along with code snippet AS also on the first frame that when clicked, takes the user to a different frame. Everything seems to work fine, except, after you go to frame 15 and click on one of the buttons that take you to one of the earlier frames, the text from frame 15 still displays on those earlier frames. The text on frame 15 is on a different layer and does not exist anywhere else until frame 15.

I've tried many different things: Changed the HTML code to bare bones embedding code.Recompiled in Flex.... same result!Tested on another computer... it worked fine! However, I tested on another computer with FireFox... same problem.
It's so weird.I seperated the Image Slide show component from the Scroller... the scroller had the same effect... didn't display in FF.Played around with WmodeChecked my code for addChild problems, visibilty, alpha properties... nothing out of the ordinary.Asked God.Drank some Gin.Took a break and came back to it.I've reseached Google and the most I could come up with is to compile using FP10. It is FP10. I'm using CS3 and FlashDevelop. When I right click on my Flash file, it does indeed display FP10. Same with Flex.

I'm editing a site which runs flash. I can click through the entire site without issues in Internet Explorer 5 and 6. In newer versions of IE, Firefox, Chrome and Opera, I have issues playing any video. The site is designed in a way that you click from page to page (topic to topic) and "click to enlarge" objects. PDF files and jpg's work fine. When you click on two FLV videos the enlarged window pops up but the player does not open and the video does not play. When I open this file in Flash Pro try opening these video I get a message stating "The DisplayObject's filtered dimensions are too large to be drawn." I know the site works, but I believe the flash file is calling something not compatible with current browsers.
