Professional :: Text Looks Bad After Animation
Jan 25, 2011I'm using TweenMax to animate a flash card flipping. The problem I'm having is that the text on the cards looks really bad after being animated.

View 3 RepliesI created a motion preset of a 3D text animation that made the text swing back and forth like a gate with the hinge on the far left side. However, when I apply the motion preset to other text, the text moves to a new location and the text swings closer to the center than the far left side. Moving the text only creates a travel path that further complicates matters.
what am I doing wrong with the motion preset? How can I save something into a preset and apply it to other things and have the animation work the way it was designed?
I'm a total rookie working with flash and i'm wondering if theres a way to call in text from an external file. I'm building a news feed on my companies home page, and I'd like to be able to have my boss edit it easily 'cause he doesn't know how to use flash.

I'm not looking for text box scrolling!! I want the whole 'stage' / 'page' whatever its called to scroll down. I have lots off different content like text, images, animations etc on there so is this possible? I would prefer just two buttons on the side that will scroll the page up and down with as much content as I want on there.

I have this slide show with a transparent banner at the top and photos that I can manipulate. I can also change the order by modifiying the file Images.xml:

cs4. I need the text to appear throught the left side an on to the middle of the banner and dissapear. I also need animated text to come in through the right side and do the same.
View 1 RepliesI've created a text object, writing let's say "HELLO". I then made it into a picture, and erased parts of the text, all the while taking frame captures (F6). It ended up looking great, even though I had 900+ frames. However, I now want to change the font colour...in each of the frames. Any easy way to accomplish this, I cannot go frame by frame. The object is in the same place each time, so if I could just put a mask on all the frames or something to change the colour to black, that would be sweet. I followed this tutorial [URL].

I'm using Flash CS3, actionscript 2 to build a site in which I would like to have a line of text animation to slide off the screen, but I'm looking for something similar to almost a 'sideways explosion'.... it will be synched to the sound of a golf club swing, and I'm look for some way to get that instant explosion, with the letters plowing through each other and away as they fade off the page....
View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a flash animation in which a text title fades in to the screen. I created the text, converted it to a symbol, then tried to create a motion tween in which I could tweak the alpha values of the text object. However when I try to create the keyframe, the popup that comes up has the Color option greyed out (which is where I believe the alpha setting lives).
View 1 Repliesok lets say you create a button that when held down play an animation of 20 frames if realsed it goes to frame one and stops if held down it plays out this animation. for the topic lets say you have a fire animation and you want the fire to apear and if the user hold its down the animation reaches the end of the time line and loops back and plays the last 5 frames of the animation and as soon as it is let go it goes to and stops at frame one. Well i know how to make a button that when held down plays out an animation. And i know how to say when released goes to and stops at frame one. What i dont know how to do is to loop the fire at the last 5 or 6 frames so the user can hold it down all day long and play out that animation.
View 1 RepliesI have a certain set of motion twains that I've successfuly completed, they constantly loop right now (default), and is saved in the SWF file.I'd like to take that finished looping animation, and insert it within another animation (a) that can be played with a play button, and stopped/resetted with a stop button.How do I insert the completed looping animation into the main animation? And is there something special I have to do in the actionscript of the start and stop buttons so that the "inner" looping animation will start and stop with the "outer" main animation?
View 1 RepliesOn a horizontal bar, text scrolls from left to right, continuously. The text is a fixed string of city names, and I've made it so that it loops nicely. This horizontal bar with scrolling text is part of a vertical animation, scrolling the bar in and out of view. The vertical tween starts after two seconds. When the vertical tween starts, the horizontal animation has started as well. At the beginning and end of the vertical tween, the horizontal tween starts over. I want it to continu.

Basically you have the "Home" Screen and then you chose one and an animation is been played. Then when I press another button, a different animations is being played.
View 3 RepliesI have a simple text animation(revolving text) it works fine althought i would like ti to pause for 5 seconds at completion in the second to last keyframe i added the following:
stop();
pauseAnim,=setInterval(this,"nextframe",5000);
i added a final keyframe and added this to it:
clearInterval(pauseAnim);
play();
it does not re-start as expected instead it stops and thats it,,,,, i need it to restart after 5 seconds?
ok i have a movie clip with a dynamic text field being animated... i have a text file with this in it
&textline1=time
&textline2=place
&textline3=year
&textline4=month
now how do i make the movie clip to first go from frame 1 to 10( last frame in teh movieclip) with the text time and then when the movie clip starts again it should say place and so on and so forth.. depending on how many textline variables i define in the text file?
I have a movieclip that shows an animation onRollOver and an animation on RollOut but onRelease the animation enlarge itselfs but now when I'll roll out when the animation isn't open (so i didn't release) the animation plays the animation for the minimizing of the animation. Here's my code (I know its a bit amateuristic but I'm not a programmer )

When I create a TLF text area that is editable at runtime (which means that it can get a user input at runtime) I set the text direction to the 'right-to-left' definition in both the 'container and flow' and the 'paragraph' sections and set the language for Arabic or Hebrew at the 'locale' setting. I also set the text alignment to the 'align to start' mode. Now at runtime there's a stange thing. When I try to click with the mouse cursor on the editable TLF text-box, it's not displaying the text icon cursor and don't allow me to insert text inside.
But when I move my mouse cursor over the right side of the editable TLF text box, it change his appearance to the familiar text cursor which indicate that if you click here you will be able to insert text input inside. So my problem is how can I make it that only when I will hover over the TLF text box itself, the mouse cursor will be changed to text cursor icon and when I will hover beside its right side, it will remain at the normal cursor mode.
Trying to create a DVD from a swf animation. The DVD needs to be able to work on any standard TV connected (non pc) DVD player. I need to export to a video format (.AVI or .MOV) the next bit is what do I need to do to make this file play automatically when the DVD is loaded? Something like you do for CD-ROM an autorun.inf? My animation is 646 px X 346 what is the resolution of a standard LCD tv? Will I need to redesign the animation with more pixels to get it to be optimised on the TV?
View 1 RepliesNo doubt its been asked repeatedly ... how to make animation move to the beat of a sound track.I've been googling for a while here and getting piles of hits but many are not really on topic, then figuring out tighter search strings is a bit hard too since sound and animation has so many possible topics. Looks like it might literally take days to zero in on something.
Can anyone here direct me to information that tells how to make an animation move to the beat of a sound track using Flash? Its fairly easy in Afer Effects so I assumed it would be something I could do in Flash Pro too. But not really getting how it might be done.
I have created a simple animation with two kids moving along with a mule pulling a plow.. all are just still pics but I have a 3wk old Grand daughter on the mule and 1 yr old Great grand son guiding the plow. All figures are bouncing along on with primitive walk step, on 8fr keyframes. Very primitive, but since the kids are my grand and great grand kids it looks pretty cool to my family.
I'm using some nice old hillbilly music of Bill Monroe's (Fiddle, banjo etc) semi-bluegrass sound. But the beat of the music is enough different than the motion of the animation, its a bit distracting.
I thought to just change the spacing of the keyframes by trial and error until its at least close.
But guessing there is a more exact and easier way. In Affter effects its fairly easy to do by ear by tapping out the beat by hand, making markers as you go just by tapping the key in time to the music. It works surprisingly well even for a beat challenged oldster. But enough about After effects... I'm trying to learn Flash. So any advice or a URL?
Well I'm making an animation of the little mermaid for school. Right now I'm at the scene where the mermaid 1st sees the prince. and I want to zoom in on the prince. How can I change the direction of the camera, with it effecting the whole animation?
View 1 RepliesI have a Flash movie which is synched to an MP3 file by adding keyframes at the appropriate points to trigger actions.
In the *.fla file, and in an exported *.swf or *.exe Projector file the synching is retained perfectly. However, when I include the *.swf in an html file, the synching is lost. It would appear that either the MP3 file is playing at the right speed and the movie is lagging behind, or the movie is at the right speed and the MP3 is playing faster than it should.
I have matched the Audio Output stream to the MP3 file in the Publish Settings dialogue (both now 128kbps), but the drifting still occurs in an html page.
I am using Flash 8.0 on a PC running Windows XP Pro SP3. I have a quad-core Intel Xeon, and 4meg of RAM.
I'm having problem with playing a *.swf file in my animation. The *.swf file actually contains a video clip of people passing a card to one another. On the main timeline there are 3 nested movieclips, the movieclip on the second frame contains the *.swf file, and using Im using this code to load the SWF file:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("iwill_cards_video.swf"); myLoader.load(url); MovieClip(root).nextFrame()
The first movieclip plays fine, but then the next two movieclips play at the same time over one another. I would like for the first movieclip to play, then the second movieclip containing the SWF file, followed by the final movieclip. I have a "stop" on each of the 3 frames on the main timeline but it doesnt seem to work?
i really want to know how to add link to your animation . well when i passe the mouse over my animation it stops and when i leave it the animation continue... but what i want when the mouse over the animation i want to click on the animation and to bring me to a link.

I'm trying to resize an animation I have larger, it has 12 layers, and 20 frames or so on each layer. I'm using edit multiple frames and selecting them all, and it is working to resize them, but randomly it will delete one of my objects for a few of the frames. When I scrub through the timeline after the resize, something is always missing, but it's always a random object and only for a few frames
View 1 RepliesI used one of the template's for a pre-loader which pre-loads 3 SWF's but opens the last one.The last one plays an animation sequence.. now..After the Animation (to stop if from repeating) I place a second KeyFrame stop() but after that I want it to show the 2nd swf pre-loaded.
View 10 RepliesI've made a Japanese image in Photoshop and it was going to be just a stand stil image, but since I've added a Hue/Satuaration layer and think it looks pretty damn awesome when I slide through the bar from left to right I want to make it into an animation or GIF.I notice you can make the image or PSD layers a graphic or movie clip and change it in the Advanced options for colour effects, but this isn't like a hue/ saturation edit.Is there a way in Flash that I can add a Hue/ Saturation layer to ALL layers or at least, that affects all layers? I've got a Hue/ Saturation layer in PS and saved that way but it doesn't show when in Flash, so is there a way to add this?

View 1 RepliesI have to say that the 3D animation in Flash is pretty cool.It's great for simple 3D renderings.However, I'm looking for something more in-depth that my company can use.Coding is not my speciality, though.I like being able to create images on the screen, not put in code.suggest the best software out there that's fairly easy to use?
