In Flash CS3 you could set a default color with an alpha setting. I have not found a way to do this in CS4. Is there a way? Its nice to have some default colors for shading that are easy to get to.
View 6 RepliesI've been trying to export some png assets for flash from photoshop and keep getting this weird banding issue (see attached image). As you can see, the image on the bottom is the png loaded into photoshop and placed on a white background. Then, on the top is how the png looks when placed on a white background in flash. WHY?! Just to rule out some of the more obvious responses, I've already tried the following:
- Exporting as a 24bit+alpha png from photoshop (interlaced and non-interlaced)
- Exporting as a 32bit alpha png from fireworks
- Exporting as an 8bit alpha png from fireworks
- checking the image properties in flash (losless, no smoothing)
- checking the colour space settings in all apps involved
how do change the settings of a flash movie so that it's default will be on medium or low?
View 1 RepliesI am having a problem with Flash.I get the message Movie not loaded if I right clich where the video should be.I may have set the hardware acceleration on/off by mistake, but I cannot get the Settings manager to open to check it.I am running Feroda rc14.If I go to http:[url].... and right click in to white area at the top, I get the message 'Movie not loaded' and the flash version - 10.2.159.1. This is where I should be able to open the settings window.Where does Flash store that info on my PC? How can I check it/change it without Settings manager?
View 4 RepliesIn the default context menu, there's the quality adjustment settings with a sub menu for the low, medium, high. I know how to manipulate the menu at the top level just fine (so don't worry about having to explain how to use the ContextMenu classes), I'm just wondering if it's possible to create sub-menus like that quality one.
View 1 Repliesi made text into a movie clip and put in this code to adjust the alpha.
onClipEvent (load){
this._alpha=100;
i=1;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(this._alpha=0 && i==0){
[Code]...
The alpha is going down.I think, because the text isnt there. What i'm having trouble with is getting it to go back and forth. Increasing and decreasing the alpha when it gets to it's maximum or minimum. I hope I'm making some sense.Does anyone have any ideas? And no I cannot do this with a simple motion tween because there are things happening in the background.
Is there a way to change Alpha settings on MC using AS? Something like this:

Im trying to duplicate the window effect on this weeks site of the week: [URL]
I need a way to blend two movieclips each with an alpha between 0% and 100%, and instead of adding the two overlapped parts together, i need the colour to be an average of the two overlapped parts.
Ive been looking for a few different ways to manage this. The reason I need this effect is to do a realistic motion blur for a moving ball (which can be in any direction).
I'm working on a simple movie clip that shows a few lines of outline text. Audio will eventually accompany the text, and to make the clip more "interesting" from a viewer perspective I've been asked to fade in the text line by line as the clip progresses. I hadn't expected any trouble with this...I created the text clips individually, converted them to symbols, then applied alpha=0 at appropriate points, then inserted a motion tween to transition to the same clip with alpha = 100.
The problem I'm seeing is that when I publish the swf and open it, it just shows me all the text immediately, no fade in, no nothing. When I click Control->Play while in editing mode in Flash, the clip behaves as I'd expect. Is there some feature of text clips that prevents them from behaving as expected in this context?

I bought a template but can figure out how to change a few flash settings .My website is done except for these few minor changes.To see what Im talking about go to the website main page here [url]....
1) There are two flash files, a menu and a header, in the menu when the page paods the buttons are white and turn orange when you scroll over them. Id simply like them orange when the page loads and then to turn white when you scroll over them. I can figure out how to get the scroll over to white but not the first part to getting the load orange.
2) In the header file there are several pics. Beside the pics there are scroll over buttons. Id like the first button, that says domestic contract, open when the page loads.
Yes correct I'm talking about Flash Player 11, thats what it says in Flash CS5 software. Whatever I do in Publish Setting, Flash software always returns option to be Flash Player 11, I don't get this. I choose Flash Player 8 and AS 2.0 and re-open Publish Settings it is again back on Flash Player 11 and AS 3.0.

I need to use it with SlideShowPro Director and the associated product 'ThumbGrid'.I followed the instructions and settings from SlideShow Pro but nothing happens when I publish. They say I need to go to the flash security settings panel and add my local folder as a trusted location to execute the files from.I cannot find the flash security settings panel

I am on mac and haven't upgraded my OS from 10.5 to 10.6 so when I upload a file creted in Flash CS5 it won't play because it needs the Latest flash player which uses 10.6 OS.So what I'm getting to is that can I go into "publish" settings and change the Flash player from 10.2 to an older version and then will this work.Also, which version should I change it to? For example sould I select Flash Player 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or 10.1?
View 3 RepliesI use a laptop which is never connected to the web for customer demos away from base. It does not have the Flash authoring environment installed either. Furthermore, a customer's own system used to run development versions of web sites using HTML with Flash content is not guaranteed to have web access either. Because some of the associated FLV files are quite large, uploading to a web host for such testing is not really viable even where clients have web access at meetings.
I have an AS3-based project which triggers Flash 10 local security protection on systems other those that used for authoring, for which the workaround is to set the source folder as trusted using the Flash Player Settings Manager. but [URL] doesn't seem to offer a useful way to avoid this problem without going on line to the Flash Player Settings Manager via an Adobe web site.

View 1 RepliesI am colorblind.I need to change either the color of the background or the color of the text on the layers section on the Timeline.I simply cannot read/see what is currently showing.It is a very light blue background with white text and white dots for seeing, locking, or setting the outline color.I need to either change the text color and dots to black so I can see them, or try to change the background color to a dark blue so I can read the white text.Changing the text color would really be my preference. Adobe hasn't been very concerned about colorblindness when developing these products. I can barely make out all the light grey/grey/dark grey/grey stuff.

View 1 Replieshave trouble with the Alpha slider (Color Effect>Alpha) not going all the way to 0% or 100%? A lot of the time, I can only get up to 99% or down to 1%, even if I manually enter values into the textbox accompanying the slider. Some of the time, it will not even take a manual entry in the textbox. For example, if the slider is set at 65%, I can enter 0%, and it will just go right back to 65%.

View 6 RepliesI'm in the middle of building a simple flash slideshow, using alpha fades between images. I have three layers, the first one being text, on the timeline for each layer/image.

Is it possible to import a QuickTime movie with alpha channel into an FLA and have the FLA recognize the Alpha channel? When I've done this, it just shows opaque black instead of an alpha channel. I need that black to be transparent so I can see the layers below the video layer.
