I am running Mac OS X, I recently added a shape tween to one of my fla's and I click save, the save bar pops up but when I re-open the file, everything is fine except the shape tween that I added earlier. The shape tween will not save but saves in the swf.

View 2 RepliesI'm using Flash CS4 on a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.1.I've added two shape tweens on two layers in my main timeline. The SWF tests fine. All is good.I close the document.I open it up again and the tween shapes are gone and there are only regular frames between the transitional shapes in their respective keyframes.I've already added shape hints, and they are completely restored when I convert the intermediary frames back to shape tweens.Exporting to SWF after restoring the shape tweens works fine.
Closing and then opening the FLA still results in the shape tweens reverting back to regular frames.Exporting an SWF from the newly opened document shows no shape tweening as it is gone from the main timeline.Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
I have some letters and would like to morph each one into a bubble - think clear floating bubbles and then have each one explode individually one by one. I tried breaking apart each letter and then doing a shape tween into a bubble shape. Then applying the Explode effect. It kind of works but when it's doing the shape tween there is some white space that looks weird during the transition depending on the letter being used such as "D." How to make this work more smoothly? I guess I could also just use a bubble type font but then that defeats the purpose of having each letter turn into a round bubble.
View 2 RepliesI am facing a problem in one of my animation with flash CS4 - I have nested a Shape Tween in a Motion tween to get more control over the easers and effects, unfortunately I am not able to view on the timeline of my Motion Tween the action of the Shape tween nested inside.
It only show the first shape of the Shape Tween during the entire Motion Tween and that is really a problem for me because I need to see the final frame result of that Shape tween to be able to position it in a precise way on my scene according to other instances.

I'm trying to save a file that has several shape tweens. I create the tweens and preview the file and everything works perfectly. However, when I save it and reopen the file, the tweens are gone.

View 3 RepliesI'm using shape tweens to morph one shape into another:While I enjoy some of the choices Flash makes for animating the transformations,I am wondering if you can control it in any way, or even have flash generate a different transformation.That demo shows about what I know, which amounts to: applying shape tweens for morphing; and motion tweens for 2d spinning, and basic movement from point A to point B.
View 2 RepliesI want to make a Shape Tween where a text of a small size increases in size. I followed a tutorial, and I did what it tells me: I put the starting text in the first frame, create a blank keyframe at the end where I put the bigger text, I then use the selection tool to right-click on both text objects in the video clip and select Break Apart which I do twice, and then I should be able to create a proper Shape Tween... but when I click on a random free and either right-click or go to Insert, Shape Tween is greyed out. How come? I also tried the other Tweens, but they don't do anything.

View 3 RepliesI want to shape tween multiple objects on the same layer. When they are placed independently from each other all the time on the canvas, I have no problem to make them morph into the other shapes in the ending keyframe.
However, when some of the objects are crossing each other in either the starting or ending keyframe, they don't morph smoothly but quite funnily. Funny phases are nested between the intended starting and ending tages.
See the images below. What should I do to prevent this?

View 2 RepliesI want to have shape tween animation with bone tool on bitmap image. Because shape tween animation supports only Shape data type, I converted the bitmap to that type (Bitmap -> Trace Bitmap). Problem is that trace command splits bitmap image into multiple shape fragments, so I can't use shape tween anymore.I tried to combine and group shape fragments, but it doesn't fix it.

View 1 RepliesWhen I try to create a tween for the blur, so it will blur into focus, the tween just wont work. I go to frame 130, keyframe, add blur filter, create clasic tween. But when i go to frame 131 it instantly pops into focus instead of going along the tween time span to blur in gradually(I have the next keyframe at 160).

View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a county map of Illinois using x,y coordinates from a shp file. I have the x,y coordinates and the county names saved in a CSV file that I have no problem reading in via ActionScript 3 (and the map looks great), but in order to save time in my future application I would like to save each county shape as a permanent shape in my application and give them labels, i.e. Sprite1 (label='Champaign').
In case this is not possible I am trying an alternate solution: I create a new sprite (var spr:Sprite = new Sprite();) for each county, draw it using spr.graphics.drawPath, and give it a name (spr.name='Champaign') and then 'push' it to a vector of sprites (var xy_sprites:Vector. = new Vector.();). This would be great, but it doesn't work when I try to loop through each sprite in the vector and add an EventListener to that Sprite to pop up the name when you MouseOver any of the counties. Is the Sprite data type not the correct way to go about this or am a missing something about Sprites?
Some of my code to draw the shapes and save in a vector:
function drawXYMap(str:String):Vector.<Sprite> {
var arr:Array = str.split("
");
var xy_Sprites:Vector.<Sprite> = new Vector.<Sprite>();

View 1 RepliesI am trying to shape tween from a simple vector object to a number of complex vector objects, but the same problem occurs when trying to go from one simple object to two.
Instead of slowly/smoothly splitting the initial object into two, it just copies them and they move apart from each until reaching the final two object forms. As if this wasn't bad enough, they are also connected by a random straight line. Ugly.
I guess I can understand why this happens, but is there no way to tell it to make the transition in another way? Shape hints tend to make the problem even worse.
I want to make AS 3 effect, that looks like sine wave goes through circle or another closed shape.This morphing shape I want to use as mask lately.

For those of you who know how to shape tween TEXT, you can do it by breaking it apart(under the MODIFY tab) in the GUI part of Flash. In AS3 however, you can't do that.
End Result wish - To simply have the text font increase in size starting from say, font size of 10 to 300 as if it is coming out of the screen. Imagine a dot, and then imagine the dot shape tweening out to become a large dot until it fills up your screen, now imagine your text box being able to do the same thing.

View 6 Repliesusing the shape tool you can draw basic shapesthen using the subselection tool you can re-shape them by relocating certain points
What i want to do is create a tween whereby one of the points is movedthe problem is you have to convert to a symbol first and after you have done that you cant change the shapes shape.so how do i go about using a motion tween to change the shape of a shape?
i put a shape tween on the timeline that shrinks a shape a certain number of pixels in a given time. my problem is that it shrinks too smoothly in the movie! I need it to shrink in a step by step fashion, and i'd like to be able to specify the number of steps. i'm hoping that there's a simple parameter that i can use to do this. or may be there would be a way to slow down this tween? by changing the fps locally without effecting the rest of the movie? i will need a solution that will work for motion tweens too, but imagine that the principle will be the same also, as a second question, is it possible to tween a bitmaps tint color style so that it changes from say red to green over a number of frames?
