Professional :: Masking Unwanted Objects When Publishing A .swf?
Jul 23, 2010
I maybe missing the point or simply not ticking a tick box, I've created a web banner for one of my publications that I work on (please find at the following address [URL].. As you can see I have some aircraft flying away from the tree at the bottom, what I would like to happen that they dissappear when they pass the keyline. I had thought that if I continued the animation onto the pasteboard that when it came to publishing, flash would ignore items this grey area and would act as a trim, am I correct in thinking this? How would I go about correct this so that only the animation within the set parameters appear?
Also is there a way of setting the scale of a flash banner? I have a feeling that this is so simple, but just can't find the panel to set it all.

when drawing an object and using that objetc to mask another layer im having trouble making more than one object act as the mask. Eg I draw a circle and use the mask function to mask an image, works fine, then i draw some more geometry (in the same layer) and it will not mask as the first object did. Is there any way I can 'Join' them togeter to act as one big mask?

I posted a message a while ago about creating a spotlight effect over a background and it was suggested that I use masks to create the desired effect. This worked fantastically.... until now lol. I need to mask both the background image AND some randomly generated on-screen objects. Whever I try to add the mask to the objects generated at run-time, it ceases to mask the background as well!
I should probably have expected this one... but was just wondering what was the best wat to get around this? Should I create 2 'spotlight' objects which directly overlap each other, but have one set to mask the background while the other masks everything else? Or is there an easier approach?

In my current project I'm building a waterfall. Each drop in the waterfall is generated from the waterfall.as class and added to the stage via addchild. Now I have a mask that I want all of those drops to use however I can't seem to get this to work. I've tried placing the mask on the timeline and I couldn't seem to access the mask from the waterfall.as file. I've also given the mask it's own class and added it dynamically to no avail.

I have an instance of an FLV video in a movie clip on the main timeline. Withing the movie clip, I have it masked to fit into a custom shape on-screen, and I am publishing this as a Macintosh projector app. When I view the projector in its native size (1024x768), the masking works fine. But when I switch to full-screen mode (Command-F), the masking disappears, and all I see is the video. It also kind of screws up the navigation from this mc to the next, i.e., the cuepoint stops working.

Flash CS4 AS2 Okay -I have a flash movie, and I want to apply a mask to it. The mask I want to apply, or rather, the "shape" of the mask I want to apply is an external image that was made in photoshop. The shape is an irregular one with a bunch of jagged edges. the shape itself is solid, with a transparent background. I've tried saving it as a PNG with transparent b/g, and I've tried importing the PSD file directly into Flash - however - when I go to use this shape for a mask, the mask that is applied is an entire rectangle bounding the imported image - rather than along the edges.Hopefully you can see what I'm trying to do here, and perhaps offer some insight on how I can get this image into flash (let's stick with the idea that the jagged edged manner of the image is too difficult to recreate inside of flash).

I've just created a quick video player using the FLVPlayBack Component. When I publish, the HTML file always has a bunch of JavaScript in the <header> tab. What is this JavaScript for? I've tried to move the JavaScript into a seperate file and link it in the HTML file, but the .swf will not load. I've also tried just deleting the JavaScript, but the .swf will not load. I have found the only way to get the .swf to play is to keep the javascript in the HTML file. The problem I am looking at is I am building a webpage that will have two seperate video players, thus requiring two seperate .swf files. What I am concerned about is I'll have to have a boat load of JavaScript in the one HTML page which makes it messy. I've tried searching the internet, but not able to find much help. Is there a way around having to keep the JavaScript in the HTML file?

I'm using Flash CS4 and have a couple of FLAs (but not all my FLAs) that always get flagged as being modified when I publish. The issue is that my source control keeps wanting to have me check-in those files.

Due to a Flash bug in CS5 & CS5.5, I've been forced to generate a dialog with straight XUL instead of XUL opening a swf. I'm trying to stylize the textbox textfield to mask the password entered and I'm having issues coming up with a solution for this. It seems the most straight-forward way to mask would be to assign the textfield a strange font which would serve this purpose - like WingDings. However, i'm not sure of the correct way to stylize a textbox via CSS. I'd like to be able to have the CSS inline in the XUL's XML file, similar to how you can have inline script:
<style type="text/css">
.passMask {
font-family:WingDings;
}
</style>
I on the right track or can anyone give me insight on how I might go about accomplishing a password mask in a textbox?

flash document is.. 1920 px by 1080 px, 1080p resolution for animation, standard stuff.When I go to export the stage as a PNG files, doesn't matter if I specify the resolution as 1920 by 1080 or click match movie, the exported png file is HUGE, the size to be exact is 8000 by 4500, why is this? I can't find a way to fix that.Secondly, it's not exporting the full stage, it seems to be cutting off most of the right side, see the image below.[URL]

*Using Flash CS5 professional (AS3)*
I'm currently working on a LARGE flash presentation broken up into many small flash movies. the files play fine in the timeline, but SOMETIMES when publishing as .swf, the text is not visible, but all the other objects and tweens play as normal. My co-worker is also having this same issue, but we can not figure out why. It seems random and does not happen with all of the files. We are copying and pasting symbols from file to file. i don't think that is the issue, though. i wonder if anyone else is experiencing this or knows why. causing LOTS of extra time spent remaking presentations.

how to make it work.I have 3 layers.
1. top layer is an image of a cell phone with a blank screen (where I'd like the mask to be utilized)
2. the mask... which is paired with the cell phone image above.
3. the main/maskable image, which is only revealed by the cell phone's screen.
4. the very bottom image, visible all the time.
I need the base layer image (#3) to be static, and I need the top two layers to be able to follow the same mouse x/y coordinates. So far, I've only known how to have the mask and the masked image be one together, rather than be able to move the mask independently of the image I want to mask.

I've been developing a fairly simple presentation in CS4, AS3, OSX, which runs as a standalone projector.Everything was working for a while, but now for no apparent reason, any file I publish as a projector starts the Flash Player app, but the projector does not appear or play.Older versions that I had already published will play correctly, but if I re-publish them they do not work any more.

DId things change in regards to publishing scenes? I know I can publish preview a scene with the option-command-return, and that still works, however it does NOT replace the swf file in the location chosen in the Publish Settings.
I have an old .fla I need to get swfs published from each scene... this used to be a piece of cake.

I recently updated my flash to cs5.5 and my iPad (1g) to the IOS 5 beta. Since then I haven't been able to publish my apps to any IOS device. The apps run in adl and as swf on my macbook pro, but on my iPad (IOS 5) and iPhone 3gs (IOS 5) they just start up and freeze at the stage. I use a loader to load a soundfile and image to the stage right at the start but they just don't show up.
The weirdest thing is that my colleague uses cs5.5 on windows and cs5 on a mac to publish to the same iPad and his apps do work! When I tried to publish on another mac in cs5 I just got the same problem as before.
I hope someone knows a solution for this problem because it is getting on my nerves.

How can I use an older version of Flash player when publishing to Man/Win Projector? The Properties says 'Player: 7' but when I publish to Mac/Win (.app/.exe) the file says it uses Flash player 9 (9.0.115.0)! One of our clients are having issues with a project published this way - on autoplay they get a white screen instead of the program screen and after they update Flash on their computer, the application (Projector) works. What's the issue?

I have a flash project with about 3500 items - mostly containing movie clips with linkage. The SWF acts as an external library. I publish the SWF file under AS3 + FP9 (also tried FP10) and when I tried to access the items using
var _proAD:ApplicationDoman = loadEvent.target.applicationDomain;
var profileClass:Class = _proAD.getDefinition(item) as Class;var sprite:Sprite = new profileClass();
but all returned null! (after looping through them) - I traced the item's name in the output and they all matched exactly correctly.After a while, I managed to narrow down the problem which leads me to think it's a newly introduced bug in Flash CS5.
Test1: Deleted 500 items from the project, and it worked - all items returned non-null when using the code above. Also tried deleting a different range of 500 items instead of the first 500 - which also worked. This test confirms that all items were not courrpted.
Conclusion: Flash CS5 is unable to successfully publish a project containing over 3500 items in the library. The resulting SWF file size was about 500KB - which indicates it contains something, but still was unable to access the items.
Test2: From CS5, saved the project as CS4 format and opened it with Flash CS4. Published it (via CS4), and it worked. All items returned non-null. Great. However, when I added 500 more items (total of 4000) - it failed both on CS4 and CS5.The publish only takes about 10 seconds. Not very long..

Some people reported this error when using Flash Builder, but I am using Flash Pro CS5.5 on a PC with Windows XP. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Pro and Flash Builder but it did not resolve my problem. I was able to publish the same FLA files about a month ago and did a successful test of my app on an iPad. I made a small change to the size of a slider. This error occured when I tried to republish.I don't know what files are missing but I'm guessing it is something to do with installing AIR for iOS. After reinstalling, my Flash CS5.5 folder includes an AIR2.6 subfolder but not AIR2.7
