Professional :: Flash Drawings Disappear On Stage
Apr 14, 2010
I'm attempting to learn flash using Adobe CS4. I've found some really good tutorials, but I can't use them because every time I draw something on the stage, the resultant drawing disappears immediately after I release the mouse. Since I can't see it, I can't select and manipulate it. I captured the behavior and stuck it on youtube. I don't have a mike on this system so there's no sound. [URL]. If I create the file with ActionScript 2.0 instead of 3.0, I get outlines of the objects, but not the objects themselves. That's not on the vid, but I'd rather use 3.0 anyway.

Is there any way to crop my drawings in Flash CS5? I want to make a scrolling background out of this:and I want to crop the ends of those layers so that they are smooth, like this:but that was done in Paint, so it isn't vector graphic anymore. So is there a way to achieve the above by cropping or some other way in Flash CS5?

lets say I have animated a car entering the stage area from outside the stage. When I render the SWF at first only the content on the onstage area is visible but if I resize/enlarge the window I can also see the car(content) lying outside the stage just like in the flash file. How can I make sure that no off stage content is visible at all in the final SWF?

I am creating a miner game (where there are pieces of gold and you have to catch them with hook).I modified the Main class to take all children of MovieClip(root) that has name "Gold" and them put them in an Array(boulders[]) where later check collision (I design and put on stage several "Gold" MovieClips for every level). When the player collects all gold (when the boulders array.length <= 0) then goToAndStop(nextLevel), where again it takes the gold MovieClips from the stage and if it's name is == "Gold" then put's it in the boulder[].
What happened: On the first level(frame 2 cause frame 1 is the preloader) everything is good - I have 2 gold MovieClips on the stage(in design mode) and all 2 gold are put in the array and displayed.
On the second level I have 4 gold and only 2 of them are put in the array and displayed.
On the third level I have 7 golds designed on stage, but only 3 are displayed and put in the boulder array.
It's almost the previous count of the gold(on the previous frame) are subtracted from the count of the next frame gold movieclips.I am placing the Main.as code:
public function createLevel(){
nextLevel = this.currentFrame + 1;
for (var i:uint = 0; i < MovieClip(root).numChildren; i++){[code]....

I'm developing a coloring website for kids, so I need some AS3 Coloring tool, or a class that helps in this.I could do one by myself but I have no idea how a tool like that works. One way would be to have shapes behind the black lines, but this way I think would be much harder.
What I need is a tool, where I can use any png 32 bits files.This tool: [URL]is almost what I need, expect the fact that the files with the drawing must be swf format.

I have a large library that I am organizing of vector only files, some imported from Illustrator.
When I re-name some of the items other Movieclip items in the library lose their contents and all that is left is an empty symbol.
I repeated this several times and tried to find workarounds. Like duplicating the symbol. This worked for the one item but then it deleted another symbols contents.

We are making a simple Flash game intended for mobile phones via Flash 5.5 using ActionScript 3.0.We are animating an array of objects vertically until they hit another object at the top of the stage.We instantiate each element of the array with one of 10 MovieClip animations.Each object has two event listeners; one to animate vertically and another to listen for a mouse click(which removes the object from the stage).We run into an issue when more than 10 objects are on the stage at one time.The issue is that the objects disappear sporadically and without explanation. We assume the problem is due to some type of memory/ garbage collection issue.Below is a snippit of our code that dispatches the MovieClip instances onto the stage.[code]What can we do in order for the MovieClips to not disappear?

I'm trying to send small gradient circles across the stage and they somehow disappear around x 515. If I increase the size the problem goes away ( though increasing the size to 2px only make them go another 100 px x before disappearing). The problem does not exist with non gradient circles.Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
package com.xxx.classes {
import flash.display.Sprite;

Not sure what it's really called, but I'm curious as to how I would go about taking two images I've drawn and somehow make Flash tween them. It's hard to explain as I don't know about it other than that I've seen it executed in a few animations before. I know for sure because of some that used it poorly, where the parts of two completely different images transitioned like a tween. I want to try to use this with static images that go together in a short animation. Is this a built-in function in Flash? Or is it some user-made ActionScript function? If either, what's it called or how would I use it?

how i can have a text in a testfied disappear after say 5 sec or so. the thing is i have displayed a file for visiters to download and have handled the SELECT EVENT, CANCEL EVENT, PROGRESS EVENT COMPLETE EVENT AND IOERROR EVENT OF THE FILE REFERENCE in one dynamic text field which is all working alright but the last message stays in the text field which is what i want to get rid of after a few seconds.
I tried to use transitions and timer to do it but i can't get my head round it.

With CS5.5 on OSX, after saving a file and reopening it, certain frames (and their artwork) end up missing, i.e. aren't saved with the rest of the file. This happens with random frames. Other artwork, created after these frames, is still there.

If I have a button on my screen that I want to make a box appear when clicked, how would I go about doing that? It also needs to disappear after 10 seconds. I am not sure if this is an issue, but it needs to appear on the screen while everything else is happening underneath it. So the rest of the animation must continue on as this appears above it.

I am making a few language flash cards in adobe flash cs5 with as3. the flashcard is a movie clip and when you push a button (located on the bottom left hand corner of the flashcard) the movie clip flips the card to give the translation. it looks a little unprofessional to have the button stay in place while the card flips. is there a way to make the button disappear for the duration of the movie clip, and then reappear at the end?

I have a rectangle drawn on the screen. I exported the center of the rectangle for action script. I have an instance of the center exported rectangle overlaying my main rectangle. I do this so that I can change the back color with actionscript. I have the blending property of the overlaying rectangle set to overlay so that borders of my original rectangle are visible.
My problem is when I scale the flash window the borders of my rectangle sometimes dissappear.

in the above page it is behaving just like wanted, EXCEPT want the top and left side (perhaps) to be 'pinned', meaning when resizing the browser window, the top does not disappear. I like that it resizes, and scales, yet, keeps the whole viewport filled. Don't like that it can disappear at the top if the browser window isnt just right.
if it is not possible to scale smaller but can scale larger, and keep the browser window full, that is ok too.

I have a FLA file that when I open it and I rollover any title in a palette window all the text in that and every window disappears. For instance the title "Timeline" will vanish. And most of the text in the palette vanishes, for instance all the text in the properties panel disappears like "Position and Size". This does not occur with any of my many other FLA files. I have had some issues with fonts lately. After deleting some bad fonts, my FLA ask me to remap some fonts, which I do. Everything in the FLA appears to be working fine.

I'm doing an art project in Flash where I'd like to make realalistic line drawings of girl's faces with lines represing long flowy hair. I want to make the hair appear to be flowing in the air as if a cool breeze is blowing on it.
I tried drawing these lines for the hair flowing in the air frame by frame, but it just doesn't look natural. I was wondering if anyone knows of a solution I should do with Action Script. I have a couple specific questions in addition to my request for an AS solution to create the look of natural looking flowing hair.
1) Can AS create photorealistic natureal looking hair?
2) Can AS creates a natural looking animation of the hair moving in a sequential, breezy flow?
3) If yes and yes, how can the file size be kept low while still maintaining the apperance of a photorealistic drawing?
