I'm trying to create a credits screen for a movie that's 1440x1080, anamorphic. Flash CS5, on the other hand, only allows square pixels, which throws off the pictures/text when I put it into Premiere Pro CS5. So, is there any way to change the pixels from square, to 1.33?
View 5 RepliesI am new to Flash and was trying to start a website for my photography business. I have an up and running version of Flash Pro CS4 with all updates. I purchased a full flash template from [URL] hoping to just open the .fla file and go to work editing. No such luck. When I click on the main.fla file, all the components seem to load in the library, however in the timeline, I only show like 9 random layers. When I run the timeline, all I get is a bunch of lines, squares, etc running on and off the stage. When I click "publish" the layers and components run fine with all the default content. The template came in a ZIP file and after extracting, I get the usual files, .fla, .html, .XML, .SWA, etc. All the components seem to be in the .fla file. What am I missing? I know there should be more layers in the timeline, but I cant find them. My troubleshooting has been to confirm that the template is good with CS4 and ActionScript 3.0. I've tried different settings to include changing the pixel size, but nothing.
View 1 RepliesI have one that's almost done and the stage size is 700x800 px. But I'm starting to worry if that's going to look too small? To change it, will be a lot of work - there's animation, imported Jpegs etc. As far as I can tell, in order for it to look correct in larger dimensions I will need to basically create it again from the ground up. So, I'd really like to get an idea of what the optimal pixel dimensions would be for ecards to run on multiple platforms.
I really want to do this and I don't feel like I can move ahead until I get the viewing size correct. I don't even mind redoing the card. I just want my future cards to be the correct size. I don't want to have to come back and redo them all. By the way, the cards are being made in Flash. The site itself will be created in DreamWeaver.
I have a list of fonts obtained via Font.enumerateFonts() and I want to display them all as 12 pixels tall. The problem is that I cannot simply set the point size because this can vary in actual pixel size for each font. So basically I want to determine what the correct point size is for a font in order to make it exactly 12 pixels tall. Because I'm doing this with a potentially large list I'm looking for an efficient method to do this.

View 7 RepliesSo I was making one of my first flash animations in Flash Pro CS5.5 and... when I select the brush tool the "Stroke" is greyed out, it's there, but I can't move it. The strange thing is I can change the fill colour and change the stroke size on the pencil, but why can't I change the stroke on the brush?

Specifically, I'm trying to change the border size of a text box.
I'm using Flash CS5 and AS3. I've made a form using the library's "User Interface" object and I want to change the font size for the TextInput and TextArea fields but I can't find any option in their properties to change it.
I've tried this code
var myTextFormat: TextFormat = new TextFormat();myTextFormat.size = 14;email_txt.setStyle("textFormat", myTextFormat);
even though I don't get any error while publishing, my page doesn't appear, if I remove this code the page comes back to work.

View 9 RepliesWhen I click the type tool and drag a text box out and type a couple words at 235pt size it looks fine. as soon as I click off the text box, the text size jumps down. I have no idea why this is happening and I can't get it to stay. When I click the type tool on the box again the tet appears at the 235pt size. But when I click off of it and play the movie it is at the incorrect size.

View 1 RepliesI have a client that would like a Flash animation that's 5440 pixels wide, to span 3 widescreen monitors for a tradeshow presentation. Flash won't let me make the stage any bigger than 2880 - does anyone know any ways around that limit?I Googled it and found out that you used to be able to scale the SWF beyond 2880 in an HTML file, and it would show well using Flash Player 7, but apparently that trick no longer works in Players 8+.Any other ways to make a single SWF that can span 3 large monitors?

View 8 RepliesHere is what I have. I made a box that is 3x3px and it fades in, now I want it to change size from 3x3 to 300x300px. Now how would this be done?
Here is my code so far:
// create the box
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("Box", 100);
//starting alpha
Box._alpha = 0;
//box
[Code] .....
I want the box to change size while it is fading in. So far I've tried scale and width but those change the border size too, which is really annoying because I end up with a 100px border and a 100px box, not exactly what I was going for.
I'm using evt.target.borderColor = 0xff00000 to successfully change the color of a dynamic text filed that is the target Now I'm trying to change the border size. borderSize isn't being accepted, so I was wondering if there is an attribute to change the border size of a text field? My internet searches are coming up with nothing that works.

View 1 RepliesI have a flash movie which covers 100% of the browser window, so the user can scale it as he wants by resizing the browser.
I need a way to find the coordinates to the upper left and lower right of this window in pixels, it sounds simple, but no luck.
I have some dynamic text with a background box that needs to widen to match the width of the text, this is how I am doing it at the moment, by multiplying by the average pixel width of arial. However it doesnt seem to be that accurate
Code:
_root.caption1.textbg._width = _root.caption1.words.length*7.5
what I want to do is publish my flash file so that it scales down but not up!So if a browser window happens to be smaller than the pixel height, the movie is scaled down but if the browser window is bigger than the pixel size, the movie is not resized and just centered.
View 2 RepliesSay I have drawn a triangle with[code]...
When the user clicks a point inside the triangle, we will get the x and y coordinates, do some calculation with those values and get some (lots) of pixel coordiantes accordingly (all of those calculated points will be within the triangle). And finally, change the color of those points (something different than triangleShape fill color).

I am looking for a fairly simple image comparison method in AS3. I have taken an image from a web cam (with no subject) passed it in to bitmap data, then a second image is taken (this time with a subject) to compare this data, from these two images I would like to create a mask from the pixels that match on both bitmaps. I have been scratching my head for a while, and I am not really making any progress. Could any one point me in the right direction for pixel comparison method, something like getPixel32()
