Professional :: Cannot Find Text In Layer?
Dec 15, 2010
I bought a web template and have been working my way through the included FLA file (using adobe flash professional css). I have figured out how to do most things but am stumped with one of the movies clips. If you go to the site you will see the image slideshow. The text I am trying to modify is the bottom right box. I was able to change the first round of text which I found in a movie clip called obj 12. The problem is the I cannot find the text after that "Perfect solutions for every space" and so on. I have all the layers visable for obj 12 (everything under the eye is unchecked) and everything under the lock is unchecked. I see layer for the two lines of images which I was able to change but then there are no other layers for the other text. I went through every image/clip in the library

I know it is very easy. Right click> create motion tween> drag to where I would like the text/object to move. But, Sometimes it doesn't seem to work when I drag the text. It will work the first time and for the second text on the frame it won't work. What are the requirements of a motion tween when it comes to text on a single layer in the same frame.

I can't seem to go to a master edit file that is supposed to show both the body (layer 1) and wing (layer 2) of a flying bird animation. Is there a way to merge these two since I'm planning on shrinking it down and making a lot of birds?He merged the two layers at 14:24 of the video without even explaining how he went to this so called "Edit Master Movie Clip" that seems non-existent on Adobe Flash CS4.

I want to create a simple mask. A white oval on a second layer on top of a bottom layer that just has a word of type. I want the oval to travel from the upper left down to cover up the type. When I create the second layer, create the oval, and choose a distant frame for the "end" of the oval's positioning, my type in the first layer disappears as soon as I press F6 on that second layer. Why? Why is it nuking my first layer?

So in Illustrator you can "Find Font" in your document so you can pinpoint and change or delete text using that said particular font.In Flash I have a piece of text using an old font somewhere in my FLA (I've updated with a new one for all text since) and I'd like to locate it and either delete it or replace it with the font I'd like to use. When I open the file it prompts me in regards to me not having this old font any longer (the font I'd like to remove) and I tell it each time to use the newer font

How can I find out the frame numbers of the beginning and end of a layer (with content) without actually going there? It would be a lot of work if I manually enter them and have to revise again when frames are different due to content change. Can I get a list of all the frame numbers of the first frames of all the labels in a movie?

How do I add a title/label name to a key frames on a layer? After I create a key frame, I should be able to add a name to that frame. I am creating several stops along the timeline and want to name each one to make it easier to follow.

I'm new to Flash and can't find if there is a way to get to the next/previous keyframe on a layer by using something faster than dragging the playhead.

I seem to remember reading that you shouldn't do it.I was mad at Flash CS4 and CS5 because I wasn't able to make the animation work like After Effects, as far as animating something, having it rest, and then animating it again. I know you can do this already, however, if you add easing you could mess yourself up as the ease gets applied to the entire tween. I wanted to be able to tween something with an ease, then let it rest, then tween it again, again with an ease.
Tonight I discovered this: Place CTI over last frame of first tween, select object, copy. Go to next "slot" and Insert Blank Keyframe, then Paste in Place the object. Make some more frames. Then after it all make a New Keyframe (content from preceeding keyframe gets copied into it, then add more frames, select them and Make Tween. I now have 2 tweens on the same layer, each with their own easing that can't get stretched out of place.However, when I did this I noticed, before making the second tween, that I was not able to just click the object and Make Tween from there. I had to actually make regular frames and convert them

What is the quickest way to take a movie clip off of one layer and onto a new layer made below it. I need to keep its location on stage exactly the same. I am currently selecting it, jotting down its x and y position, then dragging it out from library onto the new layer and setting it to these coordinates, but if I could do this another quicker way, as I have quite a few to do, it would make life easier.

Does anyone know of a plugin that when creating a new layer, the name of the layer is immediately editable or which brings up a dialog window prompting you to name it, as in photoshop and illustrator?

I want to know how can I mask an image on one layer which should enogh for other movie clips. Like the following ...
1) First layer ........................ Actionscript
2) Mask layer ....................... Rounded rectange with some design
2) Image layer ...................... Best image (as a background for all other movie clips)
3) Movie Clips layer .............. 10 Movie clips (which are like slides and will be act like one webpage each)
What I want is the mask layer (Layer 2) should be enogh for all the movie clips in layer 3. No need to mask in each movie. I tried in the same sequence but it did not work for me.

I'm using Adobe Flash CS5, ActionScript 3.0. I've created a simple file with a few animations. When I press enter, the movie animates perfectly on the stage. But when I press Ctrl+Enter to view it in test mode (and when I export to SWF), one of the five layers just doesn't appear. It's as if I never created the layer! What could be causing this issue[URL]

I'm a games design student from the UK I'm currently working on a music project. for this I want to create a soundboard where the user can select a multiple number of files and then play them as one track, my plan is to record background, rhythm, melody and random event tracks and have the user select one of these elements from each bank of samples and have a button for them to hear the outcome.So far i can get the soundboard elements to work, but no matter where i look or who i ask no one seems to know how to make this idea work, someone suggested using an array but when i started looking at arrays there seems to tutorials on creating them but not implementing them.

I have a layer with a bullet (graphic symbol) that flys out from the right and stops mid- stage, I am trying to copy this layer and have it do the same thing 3 times, to make 4 bullets that will be the BG for 4 text buttons I will make later, but I want to stagger their timing so they go with a sound effect.I am essentially trying to do exactly like the Duplicate Layer command in After Effects. Is there anything like this in Flash? I have even tried to do the more time consuming process of dragging another instance of my symbol from the library, but I keep getting the message "Do you wish to replace the existing tween target object", which also happens if I try to copy and paste the symbol.

This has been a complaint since CS4. Maybe you finally fixed it in CS5.5? I'm in CS5, and cannot copy a group of layers with the "copy frames" option as I would with any other layer(s). So a bone tool animation I've done on the main timeline cannot be copied and turned into a mc symbol. A simple, basic process. I can export my MC and import, then it comes in as stills, increases file size, not editable. I'm sure the answer is "plan ahead." The answer should be, "Of course you can do that, that's always been a normal method of working in Flash." Flash is dieing as a web tool, and falling short as an animation tool.

I have created mask layer with single MC cosisting of couple of instaces of another MC. This is a set of growing squares. The problem is that only first instance gives mask effect. Rest of instances are not used to. Does anybody knows what is wrong and how to workaround this (most likely)bug ? I would like to avoid creating one masking MC consisting of e.g. 100 layers - with teened growing sqare on each layer but in different position. Wiser is just to create one MC consisting of many instances of another single MC.Second example describing issue.Mask layer contains shape tween which consist of 3 keyframes.Masked layer contains single keyframe at first frame with one MC. This MCrestarts when middle keyframe in the mask is played. It seems that masked MC (on different layer obviously) is recreated when playhead meets keyframe in mask layer in tweened shape. In the same moment our MC stopped beeing visible for AS3 under given name as well.It seems that if mask layer contains more complex animation then basic shape move/scale then masking stops working properly. Is it bug in Flash palaer or am I doing mistake?

I thought from other adobe products that the lock would protect any layer you put it onHowever, In a situation where layer 1 is a looping background.Once setup, I locked itNow working on layer 2 but I notice unless I'm very careful I'm still able to move the background (layer 1) while working on other symbols that go on top of background. (even though the lock is in place.So I thought well what good is that, so hide the layer

We have about 600 flash animations on our website. They took many years to create, and we now wish to protect them by adding copyright message in the bottom right of every one. For example: (C) ACME
Is there some way to do this automatically? This will save many days/weeks of repetitive work.

I have a template that I am editing. I have created new layers by duplicating an existing layer. The problem I am having is that anytime I make a change to a duplicated layer it changes the original as well. ie if I attempt to edit the action script on the new layer it changes the action script on the original? It seems as though they are linked and I can not find a way to unlink them??

I have used buttons elsewhere in my project but this time when I use the same script I get the following error:
Symbol=gallery_button_vir_oak_tree_down, layer=Layer 1, frame=1, [code]........For some reason the project I inherited is set on an older version of action script (v1.0). So, I have to create the scripts on the objects and not on the layer.

I'm rather belatedly getting to grips with the new tweening system introduced in CS4. To be quite honest it's been a nightmare, but I'm starting to see its good points now.One thing that still drives me crazy is when you create a new tween and Flash creates a new layer for you and puts the tween into it. Why? And how do I stop it? Over the course of a 10 min animation with a lot of tweens I could end up with hundreds of layers

I have created a series of classic tweens in one layer starting on frame 30 through frame 60. How can I shrink just those frames and scale the tweens with them so they are proportionate to what I had originally, without moving those frames over before frame 30? So I want them to still start on frame 30 but I want to end at 47 now instead with the tweens still there and proportionate distances that I had originally set up?

I have one layer with two tween spans, and would like to have a different symbol for each span. However, I cannot seem to do this without adding a keyframe in between the spans: if I have just the two tween spans, and replace the symbol in one, the symbol in the other span is also changed. What am I doing wrong here? (Using CS4)
