Professional :: Perspective Distortion In A Tweening?
Dec 10, 2010
I want to tween a movieclip so it changes from squared to trapezoid. Just imagine a text paragraph distorted like the scrolling text in the beginning of Star Wars movies.It would be easy to make the shape and then distort it, but what I want is to tween from undistorted to distorted and it seems that normal tweening only allows skewing, rotation and resizing.Since a picture is worth a thousand words, this is what I want to do (the dog is not the movieclip I want to distort, just an example):This is easy in Photoshop (CTRL+T and then pick a corner with SHIFT+CTRL+ALT) and also in edition time in Flash, but I want the distortion to happen in execution time so it looks like the movieclip is standing up and then falls back.

Every time I package an android application and run it from my phone it really distorts images/movieclips.I can see slight transparancies around movieclips that shouldnt be there, images look pixelated, when played on the computer it shows no issues with any of it.Are there any tips or tricks to solving this?Also the performance just is spotty on the devices. Was using flash cs5 and just DL the trial of 5.5.Also is there a place to look at best practices for optimizing adobe air applicatiosn for mobile devices?

I want the text to scroll from this point changing perspective along with curve. I know how to do it in AI, PS but without doing like 100 pictures of it slowly moving and putting them in flash like an old style cartoon I have no idea how to do this... Basically when someone rolls over the button I want This to come from nothing and scroll up onto the arc and stay till they roll off... I know how to do the simple button... it's designing a movie clip that does this on an arc that i cannot figure out

I'm making a banner in flash, and are moving some simple objects around.I mainy use vector squares, but when I tween them (classic tween) in a slow motion, the shape starts to "flicker" or "lag". Why is this?I think there has to be something with the calculations Flash is doing, but why can't it make the animation smooth?

I have a problem with shape tweening. I have 2 base poses of a man throwing something, made in Illustrator. I imported them in Flash pro CS5.5 and split them. I want a tween morphing animation with these 2 poses. I set up the shape hints and the are all yellow in frame 1 and green in frame 65 (the second pose).
Now its animating very strange, I thought the points will corresponding with eachother, but the morph is quite ugly, all lines draw through eachother.You can see 2 screenshots of Flash and 2 screenshots from the movie I rendered in the files included.

I'm working on some fairly detailed character animations, and accordingly have made most of the characters parts into graphic symbols. For instance, his hand is a graphic symbol which has multiple frames for each perspective or pose of the fingers, and I set the symbol to the proper frame in the characters main timeline. I've been having issues, however, when tweening these symbols. I noticed this first when I was working on a jump animation and I just wanted the hand, once its pose is in a state which will be used for the majority of its frames, to tween up and rotate with the arm and body. When I create this tween, however, it forces all other frames of that graphic symbol to be set to that same frame. The start and end frames of the tween are set to the same first frame, and even after trying to manually fix the subsequent frames of the symbol, it wont let me. I've triple checked all my symbol names, frame numbers and settings, and anything else I can think of and everything is in place, so I really have no clue why this is happening

I created an animation of a wildfire progression which includes 31 hourly perimeters showing the fire spreading. I created motion tweens 24 frames long for each perimeter and tweened the alpha from 0% at the beginning of the tween to 100 % at the end of the tween. Each tween is the same number of frames, and same frame rate, and all in the same scene. when the animation starts each perimeter is displayed for about 1 second, by the time the animation reaches near the end, the perimeters and durations are almost 6 seconds long. I want each to display for the same amount of time. It looks like the tween is adjusting its length to accommodate for the magnitude of change occurring in the scene.

The problem i'm having with the new motion tweening is trying to make the last frame of the animation exactly like the first one. I need to do this because i'm trying tocreate smooth looking walk/run/breathing etc animation cycles. How do you make the final frame of the loop match the first frame of it?

I am making some animations with shape tweening. I actually need it for my presentation.There are five layers of almost same shape of objects. The first two layers and shape tweening works as I expected.But from third layer, something weird happening. As I do shape tween, the layer becomes two moving objects: one is acting as I wish, but the other same object rotaing in x-direction.

I've been working on an interactive map of the counties in Montana. When a user clicks on a county, I'd like the map to zoom to the county's extent and center it on the stage. Every county is a child of a larger container (the state, names allcnt_mc). I've set things up in my function so that when you click on a county POINT variables with all the numbers you need are created. I just cannot get the desired effect and I think I am missing something basic in regards to the geometry of my stage. Can anyone see something I am missing? I set this up so that the parent is tweened to a new location equal to stage center minus the called child's x,y distance from stage center. Essentially, this should center the child over the stage center, no?
function tweenparent(e:MouseEvent):void{
//create vars for x,y cordinates of clicked county (child)
var calledx:Number=allcnt_mc[xmlData.row.NAME[e.currentTarget.ivar]].x;
[Code]....

I am attemping to shape tween text. (Flash CS5.5)
What I'm doing is:
Create frame at frame 1 Insert text Insert keyframes at two different points down the time line Change the last frame to what I want it to morph INTO Break apart all keyframes, and Insert shape tween in between the first and second, and second and third keyframes.
When I go to play the movie, it flashes the text that is in the last frame ONLY.

Is anyone else having trouble with the new tweening in CS4? Every time I enter a numeric value to position a movieclip it changes it! I'm getting very frustrated trying to do the simplist things - even when I move the clip manually it puts it back where it was. Am I missing something here?

I have two files one is called tween_start.fla and the other is called tween_end.fla I am trying to create a motion tween where the animation begins at tween_start.fla and ends at tween_end.fla Each file consists of 7 shapes (it's a tangram if you're curious). At frame 10 of the tween_start.fla timeline I right-click on each layer and do Insert Blank Keyframe. Then I go to tween_end.fla click on a shape and do Modify>Convert to Symbol. Then I go back to the timeline for tween_start.fla, right-click on frame 10 and do Paste Frames or Insert Keyframe. If I do Paste Frames with all of the symbols I've created in tween_end.fla then the shapes end up stacked on top of each other. If I do Insert Keyframe it doesn't insert the symbol I've just created, instead it just keeps the same shapes that were at the first frame of tweet_start.fla. So how do I insert the symbols from tween_end.fla into the tenth frame of tweet_start.fla and then execute a motion tween between the frames?

I'm getting the following error: Motion tweening will not occur on layers with ungrouped shapes or on layers with more than one group or symbol. I don't have any ungrouped shapes (it's all text), each layer has 5 instances of only one symbol (keyframes), no objects are grouped and text is all static text.
When watching the animation, the first word (web) looks fine, on the second word (design) the tween fails on the last couple of frames of that clip (the blur filter disappears), the third word (and) is OK, and on the forth word (development) the blur filter is not applied to the last 16 frames of that clip.I broke each animation into its own MC thinking that was causing the issue, but that didn't fix anything.

Background info: I am using ActionScript 2.0 and Flash CS5I was working on a game and I used photoshop to save a little gif image. I imported it into flash, "broke it apart", turned it into a movie clip, and put this bit of code on it. It rotates the image when the mouse is moved around it.
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// find x and y differences

I have been struggling in Flash to find out if advanced bitmap distortion is possible in flash. I am talking about the same distortion effects that Photoshop generates by going to Filter > distort menu. Especially the spherize, Wave and Twirl effects. The displacement map filter introduced in Flash 8 or 9 has this capability. But I don't think it can actually distort the bitmap in Flash. All they do is create a false image and don't actually convert the image.So I want to imitate Photoshop in Flash so that when I have an image in Flash the user would feel like he's using Photoshop filters and twirling or spherizing the image.

I'm making simple 3D transformations in Flash to rotate stuff, but I get distortions. I can rotation left, right, up, down, but not diagonally since it completely distorts my faces (the ones I draw).I think I fail to move the camera somehow, but I'm not experienced enough to understand my error.Here's the file: http:[url]....
Example: when a face is rotated at about 45° around the y axis (vertical to screen) and then rotated around the x axis the perspective doesn't feel right... the faces are too narrow.What I do is multiply the rotation matrices between themselves (the mouse position providing the angles) get the transformed points, project them to screen and draw boxes with them.

I am using Papervision3D Flash 3D engine to render a model. Also I am noob in 3D =D Model is simple, it's a parallelepiped with different textures on its sides. All works just fine except one thing: whenever I change my visual angle to a model from 90° textures on the sides are distorted. I notices that it is common effect in 3D graphics, I saw that effect in games and other 3D renderers (i.e. away3D, three.js) even wth different 3D models. Distorted texture on object (different view angle): Normal texture on object (same object and texture) (view angle == 90°): What is the reason of this effect?

If you assign any sprite a z property of 0, the sprite gets scaled a little bit (too big) and the sprite gets a little blurry.

rotating/scaling images is seemingly a no-go in flash at least when i try it.but still seeing sites as this: [URL]walk with me :
shangai : work : december 2007 : WWF
when you select a picture and zoom in, the transition is so darn smooth, the picture isn't even distorted/pixelated they use 2 versions, the original size, and the bigger size once clicked they switch between the two and scale them. Still it doesn't work well for me. i still have pixel distortion. i tried loadBithmapSmoothed classes, etc, all to no avail.

We're trying to implement a smooth distortion free pan and zoom similar to the pan and zoom slide show in Windows Vista. I'm using the Tween class for the animation. For zoom I'm tweening the _width property then setting _yscale equal to _xscale in the change event. In parallel, I'm tweening the _x and _y position for the pan motion. I've set the quality to highest, the cache bitmap property to true, and the FPS on the Stage to 30. Still, the images show lots of wavy, shimmery distortion on every redraw. The start and destination rectangles for the images is known up front. I tried just tweening the _xscale but that doesn't translate well when you're targeting specific rectangles. Maybe there's some other completey different way to do it I haven't ran across?

I used the Photo Gallery using xml and Flash tutorial and created a nice gallery with thumbnails I increased the size to accommodate a 800x533px size picture however when the images are imported they are distorted to a size that looks to be around 900x400px I am using flash 8.

I was looking at making a site similar to this [URL]..The way the white frame scales into whatever the screen res is with no distortion and the center movie I have code to allow that to stay centered, but not sure how you restrict it from overlaying the frame thats on top of that.
Basically I was just seeing if anyone was able to replicate this exact movie, with out the graphics, and I can build the rest. If you need code that I have sourced already that is fine. I can send some of that.

I'm running FMS 4.5 on a Linux system with 4GB of RAM.Whenever I do a live broadcast from the server, the audio does a very strange thing. It sounds, ever so slightly, like an old record player where someone is occasionally (4-5 times a minute) putting a small amount of pressure on the speed of the record player and altering the pitch of the music. All my buffer settings are the default settings. It happens whether I'm doing CD quality audio or dialup 11025 kbps audio. I'm using MP3 for an audio format.
