Professional :: Motion Preset XML File Not Found?
Apr 22, 2010
I created a custom Motion Preset, and saved the corresponding swf file to .../adobe/adobe flash cs4/Common/Motion Presets. When I looked for the xml file, nothing. The preset does show within the Motion Preset Panel under Custom, but no preview. I also search for the xml within the .../en/Motion Preset directory as well.re this preset file may be hiding. I'm on a PC and all applications located within my Program Files directory.

I created a motion preset of a 3D text animation that made the text swing back and forth like a gate with the hinge on the far left side. However, when I apply the motion preset to other text, the text moves to a new location and the text swings closer to the center than the far left side. Moving the text only creates a travel path that further complicates matters.
what am I doing wrong with the motion preset? How can I save something into a preset and apply it to other things and have the animation work the way it was designed?

I have added a fly in right to a symbol and I want to add a fly out right after a certain number of frames. I've been through a tutorial on Lynda of the new CS4 tweening, but what I cannot figure out is how to add the second motion to the new motion tween. When I try to select the last frame or add a new keyframe past the last frame, Flash asks me if I want to replace the existing tween. I can't figure out how, like in classic tweening, to add a fade out, e.g., to the existing item after so many frames.

I have a button on the right side of my screen. When I click it I want a full screen menu system to come in from the right hand side and stay in place until another button is clicked.I have all the parts built, but I don't know how to use buttons properly. The only tutorials I've found are the ones that tell you how to show or hide something, or how to change the appearance of the button.

while ago I made a created a basic effect in Flash CS4 whereby a selection of logos on my web-page gradually disappeared (in the same spot, not shrinking in size first or any other of the effects displayed in the motion presets) think this was done by some kind of preset but it doesn't seem to be in the motion presets panel. I can not seem to remember how it was done and I can't find the relevant settings. I don't know ActionScript so it was definitely a preset.Enclosed are some screen shots of the effect that I mean (stages every few seconds until they completely disappear).

We used Flex to build the web app below. It lets the user build an interactive activity and click "Publish as Flash" to save a SWF file on their local computer.http:[url].........
Problem: When saving the file, the "Save As Filetype" drop down is empty and end users can accidentally delete the swf file extension in the filename.How can we lock down the extension so it will always have SWF in the extension?
Technique 1? Set "Save As Filetype" to SWF by default.
Technique 2? Click "Publish as Flash".User specifies the filename.File is saved on the server. User presented with prompt to download file. File is downloaded from the server using the traditional browser windows explorer dialog box (the same dialog box if I downloaded a program from cnet's [url]...........)

I am compiling my css files to swf files and loading them at run time. I have no problem compiling these and using ClassReference statements most of the time:
[Code]...
Does not work. The difference is that the HeaderBackground is a class in the same project as the css file. That does compiel fine if I move the style into my mxml file though.
I wonder if the compiler uses different source paths when compiling the css fiels or something. This is in FlashBuilder 4 build 269271 SDK 13963

I'm trying to read bmp fille byte by byte and then redraw it. For that I made a .fla file for veiwing and .as file for coding. I just started coding and made import to the follwing files in this scenario and I get errors while debugging.
Code:- package

I've seen many samples on filestreaming but all were using the mxml scripting that I don't know

I really like the new tweens and motion panel that Flash added in CS4 but I'm having some problems with them that I cant find a solution to.
1. When I animate or apply a preset animation it changes the position slightly. I do work where I need things positioned exactly where I put them. For example X:70 Y:210 but when I animate it might for example change it to X:70 Y:210.5 and to make it more confusing even if I animate a group of them at the same time it only does this to some things and not all. Also if I try to change the position back manually it doesnt always let me in the properties panel. I have to go to the Motion Editor and change it there frame by frame.
2. Similar problem to above but with the Alpha property. I want to animate things where it fades on and then stays up for a few frames and then animates back off. When I try to do this using the properties panel it doesnt always let me. So for example I need my alpha values to be in this order for the 4 keyframes. 0, 100, 100, 0. But for the 0 it might force it to 3% instead of the 0 I need. Again I can only fix this by going to the Motion Editor and adjusting it frame by frame.

I wanted to load an external swf file in to a FLA file i used the code
var my_Loader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(my_Loader);
var my_url:URLRequest=new URLRequest("external.swf");
[Code]....
but when it loads I get the error
flash Error #1014: Class flash.text.engine::FontDescription could not be found.
I googled but the only thing I found was to place

font.fontName = "Arial";
in the actions (Yes Arial is the font I am using)
The external loads fine and runs with out any errors alone.

I need to be able to trap if a sound file has been found or not. At the moment Im using loadSound to load in the file, and onLoad to set the movie running when the sound has been loaded. I have 2 outcomes in the onLoad, one that saves a varaible saying the sound is there and one that says it isnt, if the file cant be found. The probelm is that onLoad doesnt wait to detect that a sound file is defintly there before firing off the failed to load command.
It does this several times while loading in a large mp3 as well. I need to check if the file is there or not as I have a onSoundComplete function that tells the movie to go to the next point when the sound completes. I still need the movie though to push on to the next point even if the file cant be found, which onSoundComplete wont. The outcome variables are my current way of telling the movie to move on if the file cant be found. But with onLoad so quick to jump the gun it reaches the code to move on to the next point before it starts to load the sound. Heres the code im currently using:

I have a loop that is running to display images of all my clients.So, the image names are client0.png, client1.png,client2.png and so forth.I have a movie clip that is duplicated and uses the Loadmovie command to call the images. The code I'm using looks like this.
var position = 0;
for (i=0; i<50; i++) {
emptyMC.duplicateMovieClip("emptyMC"+i, i, {_y:+position});
var position = position +150
loadMovie ("http://www.url.com/client"+i+".png", "emptyMC"+i);
It's working great! But I don't have 50 clients, so I was wondering if there was a way to terminate this loop once it was unable to find a file. Does it already terminate once the file isn't found? Every time I test, the output unfortunately tells me "file cannot be found blah blah blah" or whatever. And all I want to do in order to update this page is to upload another image to the server without going back into the .swf and changing the i<50 to the exact number of clients I have.

I am using Flash CS5 to author an app that uses StageVideo. I am able to successfully compile, but when playing back using Flash Player 10.2, the following error is thrown:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.events::StageVideoAvailabilityEvent could not be found.
The Player version is: 10.2.159.1, Debugger The player is on a Mac mini with a Nvidia 320M chipset. It is able to succefully produce accelerated stage video, but only when references to the StageVideoAvailabilityEvent are removed.
Other details:I was able to add flash 10.2 support to CS5 by following these instructions:[URL]In Thibault Impert's comments in his article "Getting Started with Stage Video"[URL] he seems to imply that this particular error can be avoided by setting the compiler options -swf-version = 11. As I am authoring in CS5, I believe that corresponds to the player version attribute of the Flash 10.2 xml file used for the flash player "Publish Settings" (<player id="FlashPlayer10.2" version="11" asversion="3">). Is this correct?

I would like to ask the experts for help. In a flash movie I want three lines of text where I want line1 to appear with a preset motion, then line2 directly below line1 to appear with a preset motion, then line3 directly below line2 to appear with preset motion. I want to have the smallest possible fla file.

I really like the motion editor in CS4. A lot is easier than before, particularly working with ease. But I wounder how you use the custom curve when having a complicated motion with a lot of keyframes. In programs like AE it's easy to select a key and tell if it's going to be a easy in/out or both, and then I select next key and tell how that key should ease. In Flash CS4 I allways get a easy curve that range the entire tween. Is the workflow to brake everything apart so you tween every single motion, or is it another way doing it?

I am trying to move the instance in a particular path, but by the time I finish defining the entire path, the first few points all go astray. I then completed only 5 change points, but by then the 2nd, 3rd and 4th point were all astray, as in, not in the position I had originally defined them.
I am very frustrated with this as I have been working on this file for ages now, and nothing of this sort happened before. I have redone the tween atleast five times but it still acts weird by the time i move ahead a few frames.
