Professional :: Colour Effect In Properties Lost When Break Apart Used
Feb 4, 2011
How does one edit a graphic then have the ability to choose in properties Colour Effect options like alpha or brightness or tint in properties ?
Bringing an .ai file into library then creating a MovieClip of it, I am able to alter colour alpha or brightness or tint etc in properties via Colour Effect option. Use break apart to delete a simple box from part of the artwork and the colour aspects just applied vanish, its back to its original aspect. Try grouping the artwork but still no options now. Same applies if I just place the graphic on stage or open the graphic from the Library.
Try it a different way, bring it in and break apart, then edit the artwork then group it to see if properties has colour effect option for it but still no joy. Try converting it to graphic after editing and giving it a new name, it vanishes, nothing visible even if I select that graphic in library.
It seems that the only way to apply Colour Effect in properties for a graphic or MovieClip is to NOT edit its contents when placed on stage. I cannot bring it in without needing to edit it as the program making the ai. adds a box that I dont need, border of the page in that program in fact.

Inside a main MC, I added 2 keyframes. On each, I added an empty movieClip with the SAME name "texture" and from the same lib instance. On the first, .y = 10 + dispatchEvent(new Event("ressourceReady",true)); + stop(); and on the second frame, .y = 100. Super !
Now in my AS file, I wait for the dispatched event to launch the init process. Ok, everything is fine, I receive the event and I can access to "texture". Inside my class, when I receive the event, I wrote : _texture = e.currentTarget.texture; It's ok, I can access to the MC properties, set a texture, everything is fine.
Now, the problem. I send the timeline on the 2nd frame. Remember that my "texture" is set to ".y = 100" ? No !!! It is at 10 !!! What the.. So I add a trace on the 2nd frame to check the .y property... damn it's really = 10. That MC is now unsync with the timeline !?
I've tried many tricks. The first one is to add an empty keyframe between the first and the second frame. (so i got a total of 3 frames). It seems to work well. The second idea is to rename "texture" by "texture2" only on the 2nd frame but it's not clean at all.

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.

My problem is that my old computer *exploded* last week and i was making a project for my dad so I lost my (.fla) file. But, I have an animation of that same project in (.swf) on my USB Key because I've exported it just before my computer crash just to watch what It was looking like. So my question is, is it possible to open my (.swf) in Flash Pro and get all my snippet code back and all my frame back and everything else (like if it was my (.fla) project?)

I need to add 2 JPG images to the front of a video and then reupload it as YouTube video. I downloaded the video from YouTube as both a FLV and a MP4 file. Is Flash the best program to add the graphics? If so, how do I get it back to FLV or MPG format? Do I need to get the orginal file from my distributor?

I have a MainClass on a FLA file that defines both public, private, statics or not, properties and methods.I also have a package named 'components' that stocks Sprite sub-classes for my movie exportable clips. In one of them, I use the "this.root" property to access my main class instance elements at runtime.When I access public method references, same thing, I can trace them and have a true reponse to the question : [myPublicMethod is Function] ? BUT, when I want to execute the public methods, like MainClass (this.root). myPublicMethod(), the compiler boldly throws this at me :Error 1195: Attempted access of inaccessible method myPublicMethod through a reference with static type MainClass.

I have a website which has a swf as a horizontal menu. When the website is opened as[URL] the functionality of the swf does not work i.e. the links contained within the buttons aren't executed on click. However, if you enter the address as h[URL] the links work exactly as they should. I have contacted my host for clues but because I don't know exactly what I am asking for, the help offered is of a 'have your cleared your cookies' variety.

I'm trying to watch a flash video in fullscreen mode on a second monitor but whenever I click anything that causes the flash video to lose focus the video minimizes and goes to it's normal size. Is there a fix for this? or at least a way to zoom in on the video so its nearly fullscreen? neither IE8 or firefox 3's zoom functions will zoom in on flash.

I'm guessing this has been asked before but I'm having trouble finding a straight answer. I want to duplicate a symbol that contains text, but when I change the text in the duplicate symbol, the original's text changes too. This is really annoying. Is there a way I can "break" this association to the original symbol so the duplicate becomes independent

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 working on a game at the moment, and I'm running into a problem. 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 struggling to find clear guidance on how to switch on colour management in Flash CS4. My attempts to search online have tended to give me far too many irrelevent results and it is not even mentioned in the index of my 700 page Flash CS4 textbook.

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.

I've created a banner ad (attached) for my company and intended to have it appear as a rectangle with rounded edges (transparent corners). It seems like I need to create a transparent border or mask to have my animated banner appear in this way.
Can I add a mask or a border to the whole thing just to make the rounded corners transparent and see the background colour of the site I'm putting it on?
Note: the corners are currently white. I can't change the colour to match the site background as 1. the banner will be shown in different places, and 2. the background is a gradient.

I've created a text object, writing let's say "HELLO". I then made it into a picture, and erased parts of the text, all the while taking frame captures (F6). It ended up looking great, even though I had 900+ frames. However, I now want to change the font colour...in each of the frames. Any easy way to accomplish this, I cannot go frame by frame. The object is in the same place each time, so if I could just put a mask on all the frames or something to change the colour to black, that would be sweet. I followed this tutorial [URL].

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.

how one goes about changing the colour on the volume bar for playing videos like youtube does as the volume slider is moving. I don't think I need to go into depth using the graphics classes. What I'm looking for are ideas when a user changes the volume while playing a video, say in youtube, while dragging the volume control, the colour of the background bar changes. I've seen lots of help about creating volume bars for videos, but I don't see how to change the volume bar colour as the volume slider is moving.

I've been trying to export some png assets for flash from photoshop and keep getting this weird banding issue (see attached image). As you can see, the image on the bottom is the png loaded into photoshop and placed on a white background. Then, on the top is how the png looks when placed on a white background in flash. WHY?! Just to rule out some of the more obvious responses, I've already tried the following:
- Exporting as a 24bit+alpha png from photoshop (interlaced and non-interlaced)
- Exporting as a 32bit alpha png from fireworks
- Exporting as an 8bit alpha png from fireworks
- checking the image properties in flash (losless, no smoothing)
- checking the colour space settings in all apps involved
