Professional :: CS4: Importing Animated Gifs For Rotoscoping?
Aug 22, 2011
I've been trying to import animated gifs into Adobe Flash CS4 Professional to practice rotoscoping, but I can never get the gifs to work. I've tried importing directly to the stage and importing to the library and making the gif into a symbol and so on, and I can get the gif's frames to appear in the timeline, but once the gifs are in the file refuses to play. If I hit Enter and try to play it, nothing happens. If I try to test the scene or test the movie, I just get an swf that's stuck on the first frame in the gif. Does anyone have any idea how I can get gifs to work?(I'm using Windows 7 on an HP laptop with 6 GB of RAM. If I should be providing any other information, let me know.)

yesterday i made a Flash with CS5, and i wanted to export the Movie as Animated Gif with a transparent Background but this does not work, no matter if i selest transparency due the Export as Movie or if i set it in Publish Settings, the Background will be always opaque as in the Flash App itself, so White or whatever Background is set to the App...I am on s Mac, the only way it worked was to export the Movie as PNG Sequence but i don't know how to easily combine them together as an animated gif?

Yesterday I worked on an educational activity for adult English as a second language students similar to this one and the two pages worked perfectly.However, when I tried to make another page today that incorporates animated gifs, I ran into problems.I lost the ability to embed sound on the down state for all objects on the page.I am using Vista updated, and KoolMoves 7.4.1.I used these steps:
1. Import an image (jpeg) on to the stage.
2. Clicked on it and selected make it a button from the tool bar
.
3. In the OVER State, I drew a layer over the image and made it transparent.
4. I moved to the UP State, copied the OVER State, and added the word.
5. I moved to the DOWN State, copied the OVER State, and returned to the Main Movie.
6. I then right clicked on the image to show properties and changed the sound to YES, went to the down state, and linked to the sound.
7. I then saved, previewed in Play in Browser Window, and the two previous images with sounds (which worked perfectly before I worked on the gif) and the animated gif do not play sound.

I made an animated gif in adobe flash, but when I export it as a gif, the quality is ruined. I know there is a way to make high quality gifs in flash, as shown here:URL...But when I follow those steps and publish it, the gif turns out to be a blank frame.

I've read it's impossible to a export a scripted animation into one animated PNG while retaining any of the AS3-triggered actions (whether in Timeline or Classes). This also seems to be the case with animated GIFS. The problem is, having a 27 x 27 stage, my .MOV files are still huge. Do I have to give up, or is there a hidden workaround for exporting animated GIFs with AS3?

is it possible to load dynamic/animated gifs using a UILoader by any chance? Simply stating its source just gives a static image which is no good ~_~

I'm working on an Augmented Reality project that requires an animated 3d model to be displayed. I've managed to far to get all the AR marker detection and whatnot working, but I've come to a dead halt when trying to load an animated model. I'm working in 3Ds Max 2011 for all the modeling and animating. The model is exported as COLLADA (using 3dsMax's own Autodesk Collada exporter) and embedded into the Flex project. I can export a model, and it does load into papervision...The problem is that an animated model, although it exports fine and produces no compile-time erros, gives me a run-time error about a call to a null object. This error is being thrown by papervision's animation classes but it really doesn't give too much information, I see no animations...
This is the error I get:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Am I completely hallucinating or what ? That's several years I'm working with Flash, and today, i want to do the simplest animation ever, and it just doesn't work....I want to mask an animated clip with an animated mask (a shape animation), but every time the mask arrives at a keyframe, the clip restarts to the frame 1 !!I added a piece of code to see at which keyframe it is blocked, and at every mask keyframe, the code says 'TypeError: Error #1009: null property..

I am importing a picture in flash and i found out that there is a difference between importing to the stage, and importing to the library... [URL] I've placed both picture close of each other and if you look closely, you'll notice that one of them is losing some resolution. Both picture come from the same file, a png. The picture imported to the stage is sharper than the one imported to the library. is there a way to import that picture to the library without losing any resolution?

I've created a small banner ad and need to export it as an animated gif. The problem is, when I open the gif after exporting it, there's no animation. The way the animation is set up is 1 frame on the main timeline, and a scrolling movie clip as the background. There is no actionscript at all in the file.

I'm trying to put an animated gif behind a flash banner when people who don't have flash compatible browsers (iPhone, etc...) come to our website they don't see a big space with nothing there.
I tried making the gif a background for the cell that the flash movie is in, but I can see portions of the animated gif behind the flash movie, even if I set them to the same dimensions.

CS4, AS3.Windows XP SP3.I've created a pretty simple flash animation with some text that fades in and moves around a bit. Nothing fancy. It runs just fine both locally and on my client's site. I need to turn it into an animated gif so that non-flash viewers will see the animation. But I can't seem to get it to come out right. It needs to have a transparent background and it needs to run just once. Like I said, all that runs fine as an SWF.
When I choose the export option in the file menu (export movie as gif), it does export and I can run the gif but the background is definitely not transparent and the thing loops continuously. Yes, I've checked the "transparent" checkbox and also set the repetitions to 1. Neither of those settings do anything.I also tried "publishing" the gif. That's even worse. The resultant animation doesn't even resemble my SWF. It's a blocky mess when it runs. It does appear to have a transparent background but it loops over and over and again it's a blocky mess (not sure how else to explain that).
The whole thing is just about 10 layers of different lines of text that are tweened in various ways to get the effect I need.You can see the animation on the right hand side of this page: www.ssrights.com. It's the one that says "FREE! Consultation..."
PS: The gif is not in place. I currently have it set to just show a static image if someone does not have flash.

I have an 800x800px button within a 800x800 stage, in the up state only 200px of the button are visible, the others 600px remains out of the stage, the over state is a movie clip with a spring-like animation that brings the button to the left to a viewable area of 600 pixels (while now only 200px are left out of the stage). the down state is very the same than the over (without animation, so no changes in size at all).
The problem here is how i set my hit area: if I set it to be the size of the up state then the button works the way it's supposed to work but if i move the mouse just i little to the left (just out of the hit area, remember, same size as the up state) then is considered not to be on the over state so i come back to my initial 200px button. By the way if i set the hit area to match the size of the button once it has completed it animation on over state (600px of viewable button) I fix this issue but then I will click the button even when I'm out of the UP state.It's possible to place a movie clip inside the hit area so that it always mach the motion of the movie clip inside the over state?[URL]This is an early prototype of the site but you'll see what i mean, my buttons are the numbered tabs, when you roll over there you'll see they become animated but i planning to make this animation much more exaggerated and then is when the problem come...

I'm using the following code to load two gif images into two movieclips
//---------------------------------------'
var team1_img_file = "hamburg.gif";
var team2_img_file = "gladbach.gif";[code].....
The gif images are in the same folder as the flash file- does flash require a physical path / full address?The facts:
- I receive no error.
- "_layer2" does exist and is not obscured by anything.
- using "this" instead of "_layer2" gets the same result.
- the images don't show up.
