I have imported voice-over into my flash animation project as a WAV file. When I test it within the library, it's perfect. When I play it back using "Play" under "Controls" it is slightly degraded. And then when I play it back using "Test Movie in flash professional" under "Control" and when I publish the file, the audio is severely compressed and distorted. Why does this happen and how do I fix it?
View 2 RepliesI have an mp4 file with the audio sounding perfect that I'm running through Adobe Flash CS3 Video Encoder to convert to an flv which I'm trying to then embed in a fla.My problem comes in the fact that after its embedding when previewing it, the sound quality has -significantly- deteriorated to the point where it sounds crackly and echoing. I've tried changing the sound data rate to maximum, but it makes no difference at all.
View 1 RepliesI would like to add a very small and simple Flash audio player to my website. I have found lots of Flash MP3 players, but I can't seem to find players that will work with other types of audio files, such as aac/m4a/mp4.
I had previously been using Windows Media Server to stream WMA files on my site, but this only works for Windows users, and I need streaming to work for Mac users as well. So I think Flash is the way to go, but I cannot use mp3's because of licensing concerns.
I've been looking and looking for a flash player that supports other audio types, but can't find one. Is it true that flash has a native class for mp3, but doesn't have built-in support for others?
This is to be exported into a movie, so not an Actionscript question. I'm making a parody of a fighter-game scenario. One character looks like Subzero and the other like Scorpion. They're the same models but one should be colored differently. They're comprised of symbols such as arms and legs to make a larger overall character animation. There are several animations of them, for kicks, punches, bobbing, etc. Now, I know that if I went in and edited the colors, that all instances would change accordingly. Duplicating the symbol doesn't work because they share the same inner symbols. Is there a method for "deep" duplication? A tint doesn't work because essentially I only want to change the color of some of the components.
View 7 RepliesWe have create a flash file for both Touchscreen TV and Website.The document frame is is 1920x1080 however we would like to export the project so it can be seen on the website at the correct compression.Is there a way to export the SWF to the required 945x532.I know how to export it in the HTML however this reads the same SWF that is still too large in file size (not web friendly).I could pull the compression down to say 10% before exporting the SWF however there must be a better method.
View 5 RepliesI created a site for a client and they are experiencing something weird with the top links in the base SWF. The links appear to be distorted or doubling up. I don't have anything extra in the MC. And what's worse is that I can't see this effect on any of the computers I have. They see it on their laptop.
I've attached a screenshot from them.

I have a couple of Flash projects that were originally built in CS3. Last year I upgraded them to CS5 without trouble. Recently I have upgraded my Macs to Snow Leopard, and when I open both of these FLA files in CS5 on Snow Leopard, some of the fonts are insanely distorted.
View 5 RepliesI have been working on an animation. I have imported my sounds to the library and streamed them live to the animation. They dont sound as good (muffled and distorted) when I publish the preview (flash or html). They sound fine within flash. When I switched the properties from "stream" to "event" it seemed to work great in the preview. I added a few more sounds and now only the first two mp3 clips sound clear and the rest now sound not so clear. They sound okay but I cant figure out why the rest sound bad? They now all have the exact same settings as the first two..
View 3 RepliesMy first time making anything in flash, so go easy on me. I made a set of navigation buttons for a website I'm building for a friend of mine.
When I make it in Flash, everything looks perfect. When I save it as a movie and run on my computer (in Flash Player 6), it still looks perfect. But when I put it on my website, the "M" in "HOME" gets distorted (on all browsers). See here: [URL]
Using Flash MX, can't afford the upgrade to CS right now!
I just received a new Dell Studio. I have the latest Flash installed. I can view Flash websites fine, and I can watch videos on all sites... except, [URL]. In fact, the video loads and a picture is displayed. The problem is that the picture is badly distorted. See the screenshot below. The top of the image is crystal clear, but the bulk of the video can not be viewed. This is different than the other threads with Flash/NHL problems. I can see something, and hear the videos fine. but... Its as if the video is in digital purgatory.

View 3 RepliesI tried converting a .swf file into .avi through ffmpeg, and I got the error 'compressed swf format not supported'. How does a compressed .swf differ from an uncompressed .swf file? How do you specify which one you want to make, and is it even possible to? How would you decompress a compressed .swf and what should you expect to find? I googled a lot of these but I didn't manage to learn much from the bits and pieces I found.

View 4 RepliesI have a string, I am compressing it with bytearray and save it to a file. In other application I am loading it and when I try to uncompress it, it's give me an error. How can I convert a compressed string in to bytearray type to be able to convert it? The code for compression:
var b:ByteArray = new ByteArray();b.writeMultiByte(t,"iso-8859-1")b.compress();
I can think of to prevent my external images from being compressed. I have a few png files being pulled into flash via XML and AS3. For some reason the images that are being pulled in are being compressed and look terrible. What can i do to prevent them from being compressed so much. They are pulled in via an empty movieclip.URL...Here is the AS that is being used to pull the images in and the XML information.[code]
View 1 RepliesI want to capture audio samples from the microphone in my adobe AIR application and then save them to an flv file. I have the following code:
mic.setSilenceLevel(0, DELAY_LENGTH);
mic.codec = SoundCodec.SPEEX;
mic.encodeQuality = 6;
[Code]....
The problem is that I suspect that in my handler I am only getting raw samples and not compressed samples. The reason for my suspicion is that the number of bytes I get per message is equal to 20 ms (which my definition is 1 speex frame) of raw audio and not compressed audio. Also the number of bytes doesnt change if I change the encodeQuality. Reading the documentation suggests that adobe will only compress the audio before transmission to a flash media server or another peer. Is there a way to publish and read the stream locally in order to get compressed samples. ? Or any other way to get the compressed samples?
If I import an FLV video is there any way to remove the audio, put the audio into a byte array, and then re-add the audio to the flv video?
View 1 RepliesDoes the uncompress method of ByteArray only supports level 3 compressed streams? Because I have a valid zlib compressed file but compressed in level 2, and Flash always throws me the 2058 error message.
I've also tried using the DefaultCompressionAlgorithm class for AIR with its two compression methods, but with no success.
Doing some quick tests with python using the same file gets uncompressed with no problems.
I´ve made a couple of simple buttons and I have placed a sound on the over frame, when I export the swf the sound sometimes get very distorted and in a browser too, so I made a movieclip "button" instead and attached the sound and the same thing happens!The sound is a mp3, a short "classic" click.
View 2 RepliesI've got an isometric view of a flat surface. On this surface there are various characters running around and I obviously need to control the depths of each object.
My flat surface needs to be used in two views: top-bottom + isometric.
The original mc is generated in the flat top-bottom mode. For the isometric view, that same mc gets distorted: this way the whole XY coordinates system gets distorted too.
Have a look at this (updated).
So i'd need to create this extra coordinate (is it the classic Z-depth?), and manage to gather information about it...
Does anyone know what the formula would be to calculate the depths of each character (red lines)?
For some reason, my buttons appear distorted. Not always, but most of the time. Why it that
View 3 RepliesI recently switched to using a MacBookPro (snowleopard) when developing, after several years of PC use. Now, quite often when publishing my swf:s, embedded sounds get all distorted and filled with loud crackling sounds when running the swf (yes, even on different computers). I tried different compressions, bitrates and qualities with the same result. Something is clearly wrong with how my machine compresses sound.
View 1 RepliesI have a grid in a 2D system like the one in the before image where all points A,B,C,D,A',B',C',D' are given (meaning I know the respective x- and y-coordinates).I need to calculate the x- and y-coordinates of A(new), B(new), C(new) and D(new) when the grid is distorted (so that A' is moved to A'(new), B' is moved to B'(new), C' is moved to C'(new) and D' is moved to D'(new)).The distortion happens in a way in which the lines of the grid are each divided into sub-lines of equal length (meaning for example that AB is divided into 5 parts of the equal length |AB|/5 and A(new)B(new) is divided into 5 parts of the equal length |A(new)B(new)|/5).The distortion is done with the DistortImage class of the Sandy 3D Flash engine. (My practical task is to distort an image using this class where the handles are not positioned at the corners of the image like in this demo but somewhere within it).

I've tried many a Google search dealing with 3D Projection and and matrices, but I don't even know if I'm looking for the right things.
I have created a 3d rotation along the timeline inside a movieclip using the 3D rotation tool new to CS4. This movieclip resides inside an swf that will show a number of instances of this movieclip. The 3d tranformation works great when running the swf. BUT! When the swf gets published and I want to load the swf inside a main swf the 3d transformation gets distorted and out of place. I´ve looked at perspective projection and stuff like that, but I can´t figure out how this is effecting a timeline based animation and what I can do to stop it.
