Professional :: Can Flash Fuse Together Adjoining Vector Areas Of Same Colour
Feb 21, 2011
Can I select all areas of the same fill/line colour attributes and tell flash to fuse them together into one new area so removing all the internal vector edges?Where is that command?Desperately wondering how I can reduce the complexity of some artwork, to try and stop CS5 crashing, or CS4 saying out of memory.I have a graphics exported from a mapping program as an Adobe Illustrator file. Lots of adjoining coloured areas, there being five different colours on the map. many of these areas abutt and are the same colour, so the vector lines between them could be removed and hopefully reduce the file size.Explained a different way, imagine a world atlas map with France Germany and Spain all in yellow, can I select them and choose fuse and lose their adjoining boundaries ?Is there in fact a clever way of getting flash to select all areas of the same colour, so I dont miss any , then fuse them ?This assumes that my issues lie with complexity of artwork and not just the number of layers I have in my movie clip.I seem to have reached a limit of Flash CS5, 27Mb file of 16 layers, each layer a movie clip, 5 of which are these coloured areas. This will severeley limit my plans yet I see far more complex diagrams on the net. If this was a Freehand file it would be a few Kb.

I want to create a flash document that allows me to change the colous of an image using a colour palette of my own. I am a complete beginner and have no idea where to start this, hence i would need to know what to do and how to do it. I basically want the image to be a simple 2d image that i will create using different layers in photoshop and import them into flash, the layer images will all be one colour so the colour of the whole layer changes. so the colour palette will be on the side of this and when i click on an image and then a colour the image changes to the colour i clicked.

I am new to Flash but am slowly teaching myself via [URL] etc I have an image that I have added to a website via a content management system and want to make certain areas of that image into links to other sites. I found this page that does the kind of thing I want to do, but it appears from looking at the source code that the person who has done this has cut the image up into several sections in order to fit it into a table: [URL] Is there a better way to achieve the same kind of effect using Flash by making ares of an image into links and keeping the image as a whole?

I can't figure out why there is a display problem around the "Green Printing" button. Each of the button is created the same way, using the same graphics. Only this one displays incorrectly when the swf is produced.
[URL]
I have quadruple checked position and all the buttons are correct. No overlap. If you right click and zoom in on the button in question, it looks perfect. only at 100% is the display problem visible and only on that button/area of the flash swf.

I am parsing colour codes that I get from a Flex(Flash ActionScript) application, then creating HTML div elements with that same colour. My Problem: The colours are all only 8 digits long. So they cant be RGB colour values can they? What color value format are they in? If I can figure the format they are in I can convert them to RGB. Maybe the last/first digit signifies its 0. alpha value?
PS: Should I convert the colours to RGB or something else?
This is an example of the colour code values I getting from the flash application:

I'm looking for a way to change the color of the Pasteboard in Flash CS5 on a Mac.I'm talking about the Pasteboard (the blank area around the Stage).I found a shortcut that did it for CS3, but heard you can't do it in CS4 and CS5.I'm thinking surely that's a mistake because that would be absurd.

This is a very very basic question.I am able to colour and otherwise manipulate elementary vector objects, such as rectangles. Yes, I know how to use the colour panel and the fil land ink pot tool. However, sometimes I can colour a vector shape drawn with the pen tool and sometimes I cannot. It seems completely random.In detail: select keyframe on an empty layer.I make a triangle with the pen tool, and a small circle shows completion. I get a triangle.This is coloured not for the stroke but for the layer. It seems to exist in two densities - a layer coloured line for drawing, a thicker, same-coloured one after selection.However, neither the ink bottle nor the fill tool do anything. I can set the colour in advance, or after the event, through the colour panel or otherwise, nothing. A gradient fill does not even show the guide lines for the fill tool.

I'm working on for a flooring company. They want a Flash movie that allows the user to change the look (product and color) of different areas of the floor.I have a menu on the left side that designates the three different areas of the floor. I have the two products along with color swatches along the top. I currently have each of the three areas as separate movies that load into a main movie.These three area movies each contain the color swatches on the top as buttons to change the color of that area using "On Release > Go To Frame Label" actions that displays each of the different colors. These movies each load on a different level based on the selection of the left side menu.I want the user to be able to go to each of the three areas and change the product/color attributes without losing what they had already done. For instance, if they choose PRODUCT A in RED for AREA 1, then they want to change the product/color on AREA 2, I still want the movie to display PRODUCT A in RED for AREA 1, etc.The problem I run into is that when you go back and forth between the three areas, the navigation only controls what movie is on the top level and doesn't allow the user to go back to a previous area and change the product/color attribute.

For example if you had a cat and running a mouse over its tail would make it angry, but running the mouse over it's head would make it happy. I thought it might be done by having layers on a button with 2 hit areas, I mocked it up quickly, but it just played both animations when I hovered over each button.

want to know if it is possible to create a vector basedfile (PDF) from a web based Flash application. The applicationwould be a 'Design it yourself' type deal, it would just be a fancytext generator. All this will be designed by the user using theflash application . What I want to know is once the user has finished designingtheir text, can this 'creation' then be exported as preferably aPDF, or Jpg, etc. once the user submits the design?

Specific to Flash Professional CS5. With its export options greatly reduced, there seems to be no way to make Flash graphics accessible by other programs. Is there any workaround?Currently, Flash can output two kinds of vector images: SWF and FXG, neither of which seem to be importable by most applications, including Fireworks and Illustrator (which write to FXG but not read from it), and Catalyst doesn't seem to write to anything other than what Builder uses. In other words, I know no way to export Flash files to vector formats (besides using Flash CS4).

I am trying to make a quiz on metals. I have several elements which i want to fall into multiple target areas (e.g. the target areas are shaded grey in the following swf; metal_mc, nonmetal_mc, metalloid_mc). I can make individuals match to target areas (as there are tutorials for that) but i want each one to be able to slide in to any target area (and someday i want to create a solve button which will then place each element in the correct place). have started all over and have designated only chlorine to move (for the moment) but how do i code it to allow it to fall into any of the grey areas?
var objectoriginalX:Number;var objectoriginalY:Number;chlorine_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);chlorine_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);function

Is there seriously no way to convert a vector graphic into a motion guide for Flash? Are the Pen and Pencil tools really the only way to define the path for a motion tween? I have CS3 (Flash, Illustrator, PhotoShop). I just got the trial version of CS5. I have a subscription to[url]... I have searched these forums and the internet in general for hours.
All I want to do is move a symbol around in a circle, but my pen/pencil skills are not sufficient to create a circle. Editing the CS5 motion path has proved exceedingly tedious and not round. There's a perfectly good circle tool in all four applications...

Working on the following site [URL] On the "What we Do" page (one click to the right) each company logo is linked using the Action Script 2 below. Only the "Zipfizz" button works though. The rest of the buttons only work very rarely. I made a stock button from a white box then turned the opacity to 0. Put one over every logo with the proper dimensions and gave them the right instance names. If you click the logo repeatedly in different areas the link will sometimes work. Anyone have an idea what's going on? I not very familiar with AS2, only AS3 but the site was built by another designer awhile ago.

How does one use fuse within a class? I can't seem to get it to work. I'm not sure where to put
ActionScript Code:
ZigoEngine.register(Fuse);
I've done many searches on this and I can't find any examples of using fuse within a class, only examples using it on the main timeline of flash.

I was testing the vector files that I export of the art I made, and upon re-importation to flash the colours have changed significantly. Then, when the game is running in a browser, it looks different again. It even looks different between different browsers.

I am trying to change over old code (Actionscript 1.0) to use Fuse in Flash 8. Old code uses: this._x = Math.easeInQuad(this.t, 0, gox, 6); So my new code in Flash 8 would be:
import com.mosesSupposes.fuse.*;
ZigoEngine.register(PennerEasing);
this._x = PennerEasing.easeInQuad(this.t, 0, gox, 6);
Is that all I need to do to do an easeInQuad? Do I have to declare/define it somewhere or is the equations, parameters it accepts builtin to Fuse?

I've been trying to work out how to create a 'wash-out' effect using fuse. Now, I did work out how to wash it out to white, but I also want to make it go the opposite (washout to black).This works to wash it out to white:
[AS]import com.mosesSupposes.fuse.*;
ZigoEngine.simpleSetup(Shortcuts, PennerEasing);
myMC.colorTransformTo(255, 255,255, 255, 255, 255, 100, 100, 1, None.easeNone);[/AS]
I've been playing with the numbers, but just can't get it to go to black?

I'm having a problem with my preloader and importing Fuse classes.
[Code]...
When I simulate download, the State is Frame 0 and it doesn't trace(amount) or scale the bar_mc until it is 100% loaded. If I remove the Fuse import, it works as it should. What is the best way to fix this problem? Is there a way to fix it? I'm continuing to search for a solution, but thought I'd ask the knowledgeable folks here first.

This is my first post and my first day even touching actionscript beyond the typical behaviors such as buttons or loading an external movie. I trying to learn tween via AS. Fuse first and then Tweener. I'm not sure which is easier to learn, but neither have a 'dummies' book and constructors, events, objects and hoot-nanny just confuse me.
I have a series of tweens using Fuse and at the end I want it to go to frame three, but not before. See below:
