So when I scale text in a tween, it doesn't look at all smooth. I tried to compensate by increasing the frame rate, but even 60fps doesn't fix it. So I'm pretty sure that the scaling is limted to pixels. I immagine I can fix this by converting the text to vector art, so it will scale at less-than-pixel intervals.
Is this a correct solution? If so, how do I do this?

View 1 RepliesIs there seriously no way to convert a vector graphic into a motion guide for Flash? Are the Pen and Pencil tools really the only way to define the path for a motion tween? I have CS3 (Flash, Illustrator, PhotoShop). I just got the trial version of CS5. I have a subscription to[url]... I have searched these forums and the internet in general for hours.
All I want to do is move a symbol around in a circle, but my pen/pencil skills are not sufficient to create a circle. Editing the CS5 motion path has proved exceedingly tedious and not round. There's a perfectly good circle tool in all four applications...
I have made a webpage that scales to the size of the users screen. Now i'm having to following problem. There is a image gallery in this website that makes use of an XML file. Everytime when the website is scaled to a bigger size the image gets unsharp. This only happens to the external image that is displayed in the gallery since the flash elements are all vectors.I was already thinking about a higher DPI rate or using different images.

So, the actual act of scaling a vector object has a bit of a cost to the CPU, and so animating an object from one size to another has a significant cost -- but is there any additional cost for simply playing an animation that has previously been programatically scaled?
My initial thought was that if I took a character -- it's a little dude with a walk cycle, done in vector, and skooshed him to like 0.66 scaleX and scaleY then there would be some performance hit for even just playing his walk cycle in skooshed mode vs. playing it at normal size, but I can't manage to confirm my suspicion.

View 2 RepliesIt seems 9-slice scaling in Flash CS5 is a little half-baked. If you create a symbol containing text and vector graphics, only the vector graphics is scaled according to the 9-slice scaling contract. For example, consider the following symbol:
Sure, the vector graphics are scaled according to the 9-slice contract, but what are we supposed to do about text? And just in case you're thinking "convert the text to vectors/raster"... unfortunately no... I don't have the option of converting the text to a set of vectors or a raster because its content will have to be dynamic.
I need to import a bunch of vector work from Photoshop into Flash. Is there a trick to it. So far, on import, it's converting the layer styles into black.
View 5 RepliesI'm building some navigation that extends all the way from left to right across my SWF. When the window resizes, I'd like the nav buttons to get wider but not have the text on the buttons get wider.
The buttons themselves are rectangles with a vertical gradient and a stroke around the outside. I'm using 9-slice scaling so the stroke doesn't scale, but the middle (gradient) gets wider or narrower.What'd be great is to be able to select an object or layer and say "don't scale, even if the rest of this movie clip scales". Is there a way to do that, or will I have to do it via actionscript?
I have a class which takes a Vector.<DisplayObject> in it's constructor. I had expected it to be ok to create instances of this class by passing Vectors of types that are subclasses to the DisplayObject class (in this case Sprite ans SimpleButton). But it doesn't work. And casting these Vectors as Vector.<DisplayObject> when declaring the instances doesn't work either. [code]...

View 3 RepliesI have been handed a clients project that goes live tomorrow from the boss who just fired the guy who was working on it. I AM NOT A FLASH EXPERT! If you can walk me through step by step how to do this,I have a Flash (AS3) intro homepage, the index page is already written and setup. A Mask and fill approach was used to create the animated effect in which the text gradually appears. In order to do the fill, the text 'Home' 'About' 'Works' 'Contacts' are all broken apart text (i.e. (H)(O)(M)(E)) Here's what I need to do and would not even know where to start. How do I convert each of the words which are made up of broken text, into navagation buttons as hyperlinks to the other documents in the page (i.e. convert (H)(O)(M)(E) into HOME which you can click on and be taken to index.htm)

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 have a simple landing page that im making for a website.The title to the site. Just plain simple static text but its just always edgy and aliased? I even tried making it orginally in a very large font size breaking it up and then reducing it in size. Still no luck.But when i zoom in using the right click menu its starts sharpening up and in real close-up seems razor sharp. But when the page is displayed at 100% size the text which is now much smaller is aliased.

I am trying to improve the frame rate of a game that draws many floor tiles. Currently, the floor tiles are vector graphics and stored as different frames in a movie clip. I wanted to experiment with rasterizing a floor tile and seeing if that would provide any frame rate boosts. I did this by converting one of my tiles (one of the frames in my movie clip) to a png and replacing the vector version of this tile with this raster version. I then tested two worlds--one filled with tile A (vector) and another filled with tile B (png).
In all my tests, world with tile A (the original vector version) outperformed the world with tile B. I am guessing that the reason I am not getting the expected performance gains is because I am still rendering the tiles in the old style and not using any strict bitmap drawing calls?why it is that this method fails to boost rendering speed? Would I have to switch my rendering code to strict bitmap draw calls?
Why is it that I can never change a vector object's color? I mean I would think it'd be as simple as changing the fill color but that does nothing.
And why is it that copying and pasting vector objects from illustrator very inconsistent? Sometimes I get the exact copy, and other times their's three anchor points missing, very much screwing up the look of the object. Also, when I import a vector png image made in photoshop to flash, the fill is hollow at times.
I had something wrong in Flash Pro CS5, all vector shapes and text fields are too sharp and output is very good and smooth ( Normal ) !
