Professional :: Pencil Tool Line Not Displaying In Real Time - Windows 7: 64 Bit?
Feb 10, 2010
When using the Pencil Tool in Flash CS4 the line does not appear until after I've released the left mouse button or Wacom Pen nib. In other words you can write on a blank page the letter A but it only becomes visible after releasing the mouse button. It's invisible inkThe same problem occurs on my other machine with the only difference being an Intuos compared with Intuos 4 tablet - however it has same problem with a USB mouse, so it doest appear to be a Wacom issue.I've found a (kindof) fix.Open the Wacom Tablet properties panel either from the Start Menu or Control Menu - leave it open while using the Pencil Tool in Flash CS4 and it all works fine!I would be interested to know if anyone else has the same issue - might only be relevent to Windows 7 - 64 bit (i've not tested 32 bit). All was fine in Windows XP.Windows 7 - 64 bit (2009)Flash CS4 10.0.2Wacom Driver pro612-5_int - the new driver 613 made the pen go into Quick Point mode randomly so I'm using the older 612.5 drivers.

Flash 8, CS3 and CS4 on Windows XP. The issue is that seemingly randomly, when I draw with the pencil tool, the line starts to zigzag and squirm, even though my mouse/wacom tablet is moving steadily. It's little tiny squirms that go in all different random directions. It's pretty much impossible to draw anything when this is going on, and I usually have to do something else for a while and hope it's still not doing it when I come back.

I'm new to Adobe Flash CS4, and I was wondering why on earth my pencil tool delays when I draw with it? I will click, draw my line (which will be invisible), then when I let go of my mouse/pen, the line appears. Is it supposed to do that? Is there a way to fix it? I hate it, because I can't see what I'm doing. I downloaded all of the updates, and I have more than enough memory on my computer and my processor is more than fast enough. My paintbrush works fine, it's just the pencil.

When I draw something, the line doesn't show at all - I get a box outlining the area that I created the drawing in, but I can't see anything in the box itself. I tried previewing (View>Preview mode), but that showed as a hairline and I wasn't able select it to DO anything to it

bit of a noob at flash, so I've been having a bit of a difficulty in using the pencil/brush tool in drawing an animation. I set a keyframe, and paint a yellow stroke. Then i continue onto the next key. I then go back to the first keyframe, and want to paint a black stroke over part of the yellow stroke i made earlier.
after selecting this first frame (making the layer active), I go to change the stroke color of the brush to black but find that it now changes my yellow stroke (which I want to keep yellow) to black. I see that in selecting the frame, by default whatever strokes were made on this frame are also selected (which I don't want). So I'd like to know how do I avoid altering my previous stroke and still put a different colored stroke overlapping it on the same frame?
also is it possible to append a brush/pencil stroke to an old brush/pencil stroke?

I have downloaded the trial version of Adobe Executive Suite CS5. In the Flash Professional CS5 program I am trying to do a drawing with the pencil tool. In the old version of Flash that I have (4.0) if I draw two lines that overlap, I can delete the line past the point where they cross. In this version I can't do that.It treats each line I draw as a separate item and won't combine them. I notice the properties panel says I am in Object mode which would be the reason. However I can't get it to go to merge mode, which is supposed to be the default.Is this because it's the trial version and not all features work in that version? My email address is[url].... and I can be phoned at 541 782-5904 (Oregon).

I'd like to use the mouse to sketch a basic curve which will then be 'auto-smoothed' when the mouse is released. This is exactly how the Flash pencil tool already behaves.
My question is: Is it possible to access this functionality with actionscript without having to reinvent the wheel?

I did went to preferences, but even so, the pencil still doesnt turn into a precise cursor.How do i turn the pencil tool into a precise cursor?

if you open microsoft paint and use the pencil tool you'll tell its not like the brush tool in a vector based program. vector based tools keep drawing the object until you let go of the mouse. but the pencil tool on the other hand seems like the canvas is divided up into a grid and where ever the mouse clips it knows what grid it belongs to and it draws the pixel in that grid. thats what it feels like. my question is say i open up a new as3 file, how would i make something like that?
taking into account of course i'd be adding a zoom function were you'll be able to zoom in up to 8 times. but thats something i assume i'd worry about later, as i should be able to do that no problem.

The component itself receives all its parameters from a .txt file. The editor is a read/save form that initially loads the parameters into it's form fields, and then overwrites the .txt file when the user hits submit. You then refresh the component on whatever website you have it to see the changes.Here's the php code that I found to get me going:
<?php //Capture data from $_POST array $title = $_POST['Title']; $comments = $_POST['Comments']; $image = $_POST['Image'] //Make one big string in a format Flash understand $toSave = "Title=".$title."&Comments=".$comments."&Image=".$image;

The reason I don't like the brush tool is because the brush line is not consistent in its thickness. For example, if I draw a curve with the brush tool, some of the line will be thicker than other parts of the line. The pencil tool has the same thickness all around, but unfortunately it is very thin.

When using a simple line shape graphic (that was created in Flash) to supply Deco Tool > Symmetry Brush > Rotate Around, the line looses it's thickness along the rotation. See attached image. I'm following chapter 2 in Flash CS4 Classroom In A Book, and the visuals from the book do not match what is happening on my computer.

I'm having an issue with the PDF displaying outside the viewable area of the mx:HTML control in Flex. When the application starts up - the mx:HTML is set to a certain size, but can be enlarged if the application is maximized. These are the following conditions to replicate it: Issue only happens in Windows (Windows 7, not on Mac) Issue only happens with Reader X installed (not with previous versions) Issue only happens when running the built app, does not happen in debug / development mode from FlashBuilder

I'm in the process of teaching myself the components of the CS4 Design Premium package using the Adobe Classroom in a Book series. I'm currently going through the Flash CIAB and i've started using the pen tool. The task involves creating a wave like design across the stage. Whilst this in itself is simple, the final instruction is to click on the first anchor point to close the shape. In the illustration, the closed shape seems to automatically extend around the stage, however when I click on the first anchor point, the line automatically connects between the two points in a straight line.
Am I doing something wrong? The next step is to fill this area, but with the straight line effect that I am getting, this becomes impossible. I should point out that the instruction states that the pen tool line should extend off the stage. I have done this, but even then on clicking on the first anchor point the shape is closed incorrectly.

I'm working on creating a new look for my portfolio and had a concept.I would like have one movie clip tween in real time 365 frame increments, while another moves in real time minute or second increments.Along with this, I would like to be able to override the passage of time by scrolling an associated scrollbar.The two tweens would be independent of one another.

My issue is that for my website I want there to be movies in between the interactive parts of it where the interfaces slide in and out. However, I can't stop a movie from playing over and over instead of playing once and going to the next frame.With 2.0 I haven't been able to find any research that helps me, probably because I don't know the correct keywords to search for.Right now I have my main time line set up with a loading bar on frames 1 & 2, that then jumps to frame 3 where I have embedded a movie (Instance named: mc_start) of the interface sliding in. Preferably after that I need it to jump to frame 4 where the actual interface is.
I can get the movie to end by going into the embedded movie's time line and simply have stop() ; at the final frame, but I can't get it to go to frame 4 on the main time line. If I having something like gotoAndPlay(4) ; on the final frame of the embedded movie's time line, it simply goes to frame 4 of the embedded time line and not frame 4 of the main time line. If there was a command to make it jump back to the main time line instead of the embedded time line, that would work perfectly.Coding on Frame 3 of the main time line to jump to Frame 4 would work if I knew the correct language to detect when the movie has ended (Movie is 191 frames long), so that afterwards it would immediately jump to Frame 4, but I haven't been able to find any resources that will teach me how to do it. Right now having gotoAndPlay(4) ; on Frame 3 of the main time line obviously makes it immediately skip the movie on Frame 3 and jump to Frame 4.

What I have is a movieclip and a button in scene 1 (which is the main timeline).There is an actionscript layer also on the main timeline. what I want to do is when I click the button, it would do a nextFrame(); in the movieclip timeline instead of the main timeline.

I have learned from a video tutorial (Flash CS5 in the Family 23: Banner Ad Part 1)to use the F5 key to set the length of a time line of a particular image.When using the F5 key on the MAC keyboard, it will only allow for the audio to be worked with.I've tried Apple+F5, Option+F5, Ctrl+F5 etc.What am I missing?

When you want a window to pop up (ie: image descripstion), do you just have the content in the library , or do you actually have it in a keyframe labeled in the timeline? And what is the best script to call it , and to make it close when clicked anywhere?
