1. I am trying understand what horizontal skew does. Does skew means the object is @ a angle to horizonal plane. When i set to 120 ' as horizontal skew it turns upside down. Is there any good web links to understand how horizontal skew works in flash?I checked in some weblinks but it was not useful
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to rotate a symbol while keeping the shape and proportions locked, but even when using Free Transform, my shapes skew (from rectangles to rhombuses to squares).I'd like to keep the lines straight and parallel.Locking the height and width with the link tool doesn't seem to make a difference.Does anyone know how to rotate shapes without the automatic re-proportioning?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to apply a GlowFilter (border) to a image and then rotate+skew it. Unfortunately, doing this makes the filter look bad (jagged edges) even though the image itself is smooth. I've tried a few things, including using different filters (like the DropShadowFilter). Here's a rough example of what I'm doing...

I'm doing some cartoons for random clients, and they're going to need to look slick on HD televisions (1080). Is there a specific size I should design the flash movie at before hand? Right now I'm designing them at 1280 x 720, but when I burn the movie to a DVD and watch it, there is just a little but of pixel distortion during some of the movement (ex. you can notice some of the outlines looking odd as they move pixel from pixel). I'm wondering if this has to do with the size I set the stage at in Flash, or if it shouldn't even matter since it's mostly all vector art.
View 1 RepliesSome lovely code I picked up to create cartoons. My character is sunny. We create multiple empty mcs as holders for a) Sounds and b) Attached or loaded mcs.BUT the damn sound object doesn't work. sound_1.start(); diesn't work - however it works it I move it right up under the attachsound code.Then the next sound_2.start definately work. I DID get to work in other code I had even though it was even inside a function. I will paste it under this code.
numOfSounds = 5;numOfObjects = 5;objectPath = "images";
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("soundLib", 1);for (var i:Number = 1; i<=numOfSounds; i++) {soundLib.createEmptyMovieClip("holder_"+i, i);_root["sound_"+i] = new Sound(soundLib["holder_"+i]);}[code]....
I am trying to create my first cartoon animation. What I have so far is four swf's, each containing a short animation. What I want to be able to do is load in a swf file into a fla, then after a certain time peroid, remove that swf and load in a new swf.

You know those paper flipbooks you would have as a kid where you would flip the pages and it would like like a moving image? How cartoons are made? I need to make that on the computer. I have a series of jpeg that I want to cycle one after another every second or so.
View 3 RepliesBasically what I am trying to do is show a medical cartoon, that at various times, the user can click on a button to say "I want to read more about this point later". This will allow them to continue watching the cartoon, and at the end be taken to an HTML page that shows them the list of points they selected for further research. It's like creating a shopping list for further reading.

AS 2
I'm currently learning Flash (CS4, AS3) and am creating a game. I have currently 1 flv file with 4 scenes, I then move from left to right and then to scene 2 and go from left to right. This is the game where items pop up that need to be clicked on and you get points.
Is there any way I can combine these onto 1 scene? Flash only allows you to have a maximum of 2880px wide.The reason for this is the transition between the scenes is RUBBISH and that my AS is not working correctly in between scenes (it loses values).
I have a client who wants a home page similar to the way this one operates: http:[url]... It contains 10 images that are on a steady horizontal scroll that repeats. The images seem to be at about 50% opacity and they increase to 100% upon rollover. The images don't need to link to different pages. The way this one works would be fine, just all leading to another gallery page that gives more info.how I can achieve this type of look thru Flash? I have done some browsing online but most tutorials I've found are more like viewers where the user has arrows to scroll forward and back. This one is different, just sort of operates on its own....like walking by and window shopping for my client's products.

View 1 RepliesPlace a 100px by 100px box on the stage (not a movieclip, just a simple shape).
Now apply a vertical skew of 30 degrees. You should get this...
Click outside of the shape to release the transformation data. The degrees for skew resets to 0 (this is expected), see image below
But What skew would you apply to the shape to return it to its original shape. Initially I would've thought it was -30 in the vertical skew, but this seems to return a weird hybrid shape.. See below:
i got a problem with a nice skew function From Ericlin of URL...[code]i have prepared a small and plain .fla for you so you can check it out right here, its also attached to the posting (Flash MX 2004 File but should be ok for earlier versions?):url...while the borders of isometric walls are still exactly vertical (90 deg) the function is producing lines which are very slightly skew. might be something like 90.1 deg... but this inaccurancy produces ugly gaps between walls i put together later.This function is maybe not accurate enough, maybe to accurate, i am not sure. But i need probably some rounding in there but i dont know where, really (is that a wonder? look at the script! ;))when you zoom in and look at the "orientation bar" (thick dark blue bar), you will notice that there is a very small gap on the top right corner but its bigger on the bottom right corner of the wall texture.

View 2 RepliesI'm using Flash CS5 to make an iPod app/game. The provided layout makes the default setup 320x480, which is the standard way to hold your iPod VERTICALLY. I want to flip these dimensions to hold the iPod on it's side during gameplay.
So here's my question: If I just flip the document...to (480x320) will the iPod know how to manage the game from that point on? Or do I need to draw everything horizontally and animate that way too? I tried to do just that, but when I test the scene, it only wants to flip that first frame, so everything flops off screen and it ruins the animation. So how do I develop a HORIZONTAL iPod app/game?
I want my page to be covered with thumbnails (not just in a row) then when you click on a thumbnail the image will open up either vertical or horizontal on top of the thumbnails. How can I do this without scripting or does anyone know of a simple way to do this with either Flash or another Product?

I created a very simple animation of a speaker with vibrating screens in flash. I have saved the animation as an SWF file and it works just fine. I need to duplicate the animation and flip it so that the speaker faces the opposite direction in a Dreamweaver layout.
Is there a simple(ha!) way to do this with either the Flash file or with the SWF file.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to skew an spark Image object using a matrix. The problem I am having is that it only effects the top angle. I think it may be related to the position of the image (x and y). The top angle is prefect but the bottom is flat!
Here is a bit of code:
//imgA = pixles down from top left coord, I used arctan with oposite over adjacent to get a radian angle
//size
openImage.width = imgW; //say 200
openImage.height = imgH; //say like 300
