i have a MC of a circle with a stroke i motiontweened the circle to scale larger, but the stroke is scaling up proportionally..is there any way to maintain stroke weight when motiontween-upscaling a shape? just when i think i'm on a roll with this program, i'm stumped like every 30min.s,
View 4 RepliesI just got the trialversion av Adobe flash CS5 and I wonder if there is a way to get the same motiontween in the timeline as in flash CS3 and earlier versions of flash?
View 3 RepliesI want to animate a person moving off into the distance, but while I want the size of the figure to get smaller, I don't want the weight of the lines that comprise the image to scale down, too. I made this little sample of a person skating (poorly) away from the viewer, and I'd like the line weight to be 9 points in the first frame and the last frame. Is there a setting that allows me to exclude stroke weight when scaling and resizing an object?

heres my code
Code:

target_MC.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (target_MC._width>target_WDTH) {

the different bits finish before each other...is there a way of making each bit (height width and x) scale in proportion of each other so they all finish at the same time? I bet its something to do with what i divide the -= values by (currently arbitrary numbers like 20 or 5)

I'm trying to create a simple coloring book app and I've got it mostly working based on tutorials and code I've found on the web. I'm using an array for my color swatches and I'm trying to add a stroke but it's not working. The markers in the array are based on a symbol called "Colours".[code]
View 5 RepliesSo we're sitting here at the studio trying to figure out how to use the pen tool without a stroke. We do most of the work in Illustrator, then paste it in Flash. Unfortunately, some objects sometimes disappear while breaking the object down, which means that we have to do some actual touchup work in Flash.
View 2 RepliesUnder the stroke properties before or after I draw a line, I set it to NORMAL but when I re-select the line, it keeps changing it back to NONE. Some how it is now the default and I cannot change it I have tried opening new documents from scratch but I still cannot get it back to scale normally. All the lines are inside movie clips and these movie clips need to scale properly. I cannot seem to find any other answers besides telling me what I have already tried.If I change the line type from solid to dotted, it then scales (actually you cannot change the scale mode.
View 1 RepliesHere is an odd question, can I tile a graphic symbol in my library along a path or apply it as a stroke somehow? In Illustrator you can select an item, go to the brushes palette, select new brush, new brush pattern. Is the same functionality available in flash (even programmatically)?

I've been doing Motion in Flash just per Hand doing MotionTween etc. But now I wanted finally to do a motion of a object with Actionscript. I wanted to move a object from one side to the other and let the movement end with a little bounce. Just like in the Example here: [URL]. I have already something which moves the object with slowing down at the end of the movement (onclip even on a MC):
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
zielx=0
_x=300
rate=10
}onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_x+=(zielx-_x)/rate
}
How I can let it end with a little bounce effect instead of the slowing down. Just like in the example.
Pretty much said it in the title. I have drawn a cartoon in flash (cs4) and because of zooming in and out my lines are different widths (thicknesses?)
Is there any way I can select the entire image (just lines) and somehow "uniform" them?
I've searched all over to try and find a stroke function or a command after I have broken an object, but can't find anything. I want to apply a stroke to multiple frames. use the ink bottle, and do not suggest turning my symbol into a movie clip and adding a glow. This seems like it should be a simple function

View 2 RepliesI have a movieclip that I want to be resized when a button is clicked. I want the animation to be smooth as if it had weight though. I read the tutorial on this but I need something slightly different, I would rather it where I can just refer to a function that is set in another movieclip. That way I could easily refer to it again and just set the height, width, and if possible, x, and y.
And my second question, is how to keep the border of my movieclip that is going to be resized the same thickness. I want the inside to be resized but the sides to stay the same width but move to stay on the edge.
I'm creating this simple strip crawl of logos (1920x95). It's a about 40 logos in one strip that I imported. I created a tween that scrolls the logos right to left lasting about 1 1/2 minutes @ 24fps. When I export the SWF file the scroll is not smooth and there is all types of small jerky movements.
View 2 RepliesI have a main Flash movie that preloads three external SWF's just perfectly.Everything is great...except the 1st movie is not smooth and really slow, the 2nd movie is a little better, and the third movie is the best.It's a rather simple Flash portfolio...I'm thinking it could be a stacking issue-but I've approached it from so many different ways instead of wasting my time shooting at thin air, I thought I'd give this forum a shot.How can I make these three movies play smoothly?I've attached the main movies FLA just to assist.
View 2 RepliesI have an issue with my Cintiq not drawing smoothly in Flash. I need to sketch incredibly fast and loose. Flash used to work just fine but now it suddenly began drawing really crummy. I posted some examples of flash as well as Photoshop, Sketchbook Pro, and ToonBoom Animate Pro which is another vector graphics tool. I thought the vector graphics may be the issue but that app seems to handle the drawing excellently (now if only it did the other things Flash can do). Here's some examples of how they're looking. It may be hard to tell in these already loose sketches but the performance drop is really a big difference in responsiveness between Flash vs the other apps here:[code]Does anyone know why my cintiq is causing flash to draw so poorly? Occasionally photoshop will also do the same 'crumbly edges' thing?
View 16 RepliesAs I have a gradient background on my website where the swf is embedded, in order to avoid the white screen that appears initially while the swf is loading, I turned transparency on for the swf. In order to really get it transparent I found out that you not only have to enable it in on the html site, but also tick "Detect flash version"and chose "Transparent windowless" in the publish settings. I used the html document created when I published the swf and the transparency now works fine.
However, the films I have on my site are now playing back with a very "jerky" behaviour and not smooth at all. I tried compressing the film as much as possible, but it's still not working as before. The site in question is [URL] if you would like to see for yourself. I've tried it on both my laptop, which is even worse, and my fairly powerful dual core 64 bit stationary PC.
So I figured out how to make a zooming effect for my animation, but it isn't smooth. I have it set at 30 FPS. What can I do?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to make the background gradient change colors.

View 2 RepliesI just jumped from cs3 to cs5 and i'm curious about some behaviors of motion editor. I made a motion tween with some keyframes on x and y. I open the motion editor and try to convert those keys on x and y channels to Smooth points. Motion editor shows now nice curves on x & y but nothing changes on stage. The motion of my movie clip is not changed in anyway. Its like those keys are still Corner points. No smooth motion. Of course I can change the motion path straight from the stage or create a custom ease to smooth motion.

I'm using Flash CS5.5 and have got swipe gestures responding on my iPad. The only problem is that they don't animate and I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck in replicating the smooth iOS swipes using Actionscript 3.0. I found a solution using ENTER FRAME but it was really slow and jerky.
