View 7 RepliesI will have three seperate pages for the motion tween, mask effect and shape tween... would you make the seperately, in a different scene, as a symbol or on the same scene with the website.
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.

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 RepliesI have been producing animation on my Mac using shape tweens and hints where necessaryUnfortunately when these files are then opened on one of my colleague's PCs the shape tweens appear broken as the hints have dissapeared.If the file is opened on another Mac this does not happen.I have yet to spend too much time focussing on testing the whys and wherefores of this problem, but wondered if this is a recognised issue or is a one off

View 1 RepliesI have a .fla that contains five movieclips, and have a couple of questions regarding removing movieclips and swf size.If all the movieclips are displayed, my resulting swf is about 50k.If, in frame 1, I code conditionals that decide which of the movieclips will be displayed, will the resulting swf size become smaller if some of the clips aren't displayed?If so, what is the correct way to totally remove a movieclip from memory? Say I have a main movieclip that contains 5 other mcs, and the as code is within the main movieclip.If not, is there a way to make the swf size smaller if less than all clips are displayed (using conditionals).

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to learn more about using Tween Class to animate a movie clip. I've got an MC in the first frame of my timeline. Rather than use tweens in the timeline to adjust the x/y coordinates, height/width, and alpha of my MC, I'd like to use actionscript to accomplish this.My research so far has got me to import the transitions and easing,
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

I have always animated objects using an Enter Frame event (ie. slide it 5 pixels to the right every frame). I am seeing many companies I work at using the TweenLite tweening engine to animate objects. Is there some special magic these tweening engines do that makes them better? If I wanted to side a ball across the screen over a time span of 100 frames, would using an Enter Frame be any different than using the tween engine? Or would they have the exact same result?
View 1 RepliesI 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 decided that this was okay but I wanted to change it so text/staff etc.would update dynamically from a text file. Got this working and moved on to simple alpha tween animation.I have several dynamic buttons that fade onto the stage perfectly. When the user selects a button a variable is loaded which updates the adjacent dynamic text box (within a MC). However, if I try to tween this text box, it goes to full alpha if I place stop() in the last keyframe.If I remove stop() it will loop and display correctly.

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.
