Professional :: Display Of Gradients Since Upgrading To CS4
Oct 12, 2010
I have noticed a problem with the display of gradients since upgrading to CS4, and continuing in CS5. Prior to that, gradients used to display fairly reliably in Flash. Now I have noticed the following problems in CS4/CS5, on multiple computers and monitors. For instance, If I display the following drawing, which has several gradients, it looks like this on the left side of the screen:
If I drag the object--which is a graphic object from the library, drawn completely inside of Flash--to the right side of the screen, it looks like this: As you can see, the gradients do not display properly. The same thing happens when I scale the image down to a smaller size. It invariably looks worse on the right side of the screen than on the left. This display problem carries through into the SWF file when I export the movie.
In order for a complicated gradient drawing to look good on the right side of the screen, it has to be enlarged. This just didn't happen--using the same machines--with CS2.

I am trying to create a simple gui component that has a vertical gradient, simple enough right... I create the sprite, and draw the gradient with beginGradientFill and a matrix with a 90 degree radian angle on it; but it stops working if the sprite has a long width, below is an exmaple of what I mean:
package {
import flash.display.GradientType;
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.geom.Matrix;
[Code] .....
If I change
matrix.createGradientBox(800, 100, Math.PI*0.5, 0, 0);
to
matrix.createGradientBox(800, 100, Math.PI, 0, 0);
It works fine - but horizontally - why is it that applying 90 degrees the fill does not work?

will be converting some web page forms developed with macromedia flash mx 6.0 to flash pro cs5.5
searched a lot for 'upgrade macromedia to adobe' , 'convert macromedia....' etc etc and found basically nothing called adobe tech support and they say 6.0 will not convert, oldest to convert would be 8.0 and didn't offer any help beyond that, downloaded the cs5.5 trial, opened up the 6.0 source ok, made a couple quick edits like changing label names etc, recompiled and ran on website using the existing codebase load and... pages loaded ok, drop down boxes worked, etc but some strange things like input text boxes for numerics only would only accept 0,9, and alphabet characters. so am not sure what to expect, theres a fair amt of action script, 8k lines, creating xml list to pass to succeeding web pages, etc etc so there's a bit going on.

Hi --
I am trying to programatically create a gradient fill. I have
tried
following the examples in the Flash CS3 help but they don't
seem to work
right.
The help file states:
ratios:Array - An array of color distribution ratios; valid
values are 0 to
255. This value defines the percentage of the width where the
color is
sampled at 100%. The value 0 represents the left-hand
position in the
gradient box, and 255 represents the right-hand position in
the gradient
box.
So I interpret this to mean that if I have a box that is 200
pixels wide
that 0 would be at 0 in the box, 128 would be at 100 and 255
would be at
200. However, it appears that 255 is always the middle of the
box and 128 is
1/4 of the box.
What I want to do is create a three color gradient of red,
blue and green
where blue is in the middle, red is on the left and green on
the right and
the colors transition.
Can someone please help me here?
Thanks
Rich

I'm confused by a tip in Adobe's own documentation that says:Avoid using gradients, because they require many colors and calculations to be processed, which is more difficult for a computer processor to render.I understand how this would be true in a vector shape fill, but they aren't specifying vector. It seems to be implied they include bitmaps too, since the next couple tips are bitmap related.If they do in fact include bitmaps in this tip, can someone explain to me how this is possibly true? In a bitmap a pixel is a pixel. I don't see how it matter that the pixels form a gradiated color or not, the software still has to read and write each pixel regardless.

I need some help on how to save down a file. I created a flat vector design with linear and radial gradients. I now have to save this file down to be viewed and worked on in a very old version of Macromedia Flash (Yep, it's that old). The end file needs to be a .SWF. The problem I am having is when I save down, the curves of the vector are lost and get choppy and the gradients lose their coloring and don't look correct at all. I have saved down to every version Illustrator allows me to, exported as a SWF, manually dropped it into Flash CS4 and saved down but it never comes out looking the same.
There is only 1 layer in the file, all shapes are vectors, no masks and the only "effects" I guess you could say, are the gradient fills. how to get this file into Flash and keep it's curves and gradients?

Is there a place online where I can find like 16 linear gradients that match good with each other? I need them for a chart of mine and the ones generated (by Flex) aren't good enough.
So, I'm kind off searching for a library of gradients (linear in my case).

I got a script that fades gradients into each other working. No actually runtime errors but after about 10 minutes (or so) of running the fading animation slows down dramatically. The code is about 100 lines long and for the first 10 minutes (or so) it runs great. I have made a note in the code where I think the issue is arising.

Were in the process of upgrading the FMS server licence to a FMIS licence. My question is that when we upgrade will we lose any of the functionality of FMS3.0 that is not present in FMIS. The FMS is currently used for direct streaming.

Here's are the errors: VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of allowInsecureDomain in _SwdModule_mx_core_FlexModuleFactory. ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable _SwdModule_mx_core_FlexModuleFactory is not defined.
SwdModule is a module used within the organization and there's an application that loads this (and various other modules) at run time. I've read on other stack overflow and various web site that this error was caused because the modules and the main app. were compiled using different Flex SDKs. I verified and checked up on this, but all of my SWFs are compiling using 3.5.
Can anyone think of anything else why this error would be occuring?

After upgrading the Flex SDK from 3.1 to any newer version of the SDK and trying to compile an existing project, the following error appears in the Problems pane:
Description: { expected Resource: (shows project name, not a specific file) Location: line 15
Any ideas how to solve this or where to start the bug hunt?
It looks like the problem is in the ...sdks/3.3.0/frameworks/libs/player/10/playerglobal.swc file, but I'm certainly not sure.

For my project I am using the following:FlashDevelop 3.3.4 RTMFlash Pro CS 5 (libraries only, no code)Some time ago we started using TLFTextfields. One of the things I had to do was include the tlfruntime.swc file from the Adobe Flash CS 5 folder in the FlashDevelop project. Note that I copied this file to the project folder and included it, I didn't just include the file straight from the CS5 path. I have since been given a new computer that has Flash CS 5.5. I recompiled one of my swf libraries in CS 5.5, and now when I run the program, I get:Illegal override of createTextLine in flashx.textLayout.compose.ComposeStateI figure the tlfruntime.swc being included in the FlashDevelop project is out of date and needs to be updated with the one from CS 5.5. So I copied the tlfruntime.swc from the CS 5.5 path, include it in the FlashDevelop project (instead of the older file), but now I get this:
Illegal override of softKeyboardActivatingHandler infl.text.container.TLFContainerController.Can anyone assist with what else I need to do to get TLFTextfields working again in CS 5.5?UPDATE: I have updated FlashDevelop to 4.0.1 RTM, and now I get this error:Illegal override of createGeometry in flashx.textLayout.elements.FlowGroupElement.

right now I'm walking myself through senocular's OOP in flash tutorial. I use regular MX, and thus, actionscript 1.0. My question: should I follow through with this tutorial? I plan on upgrading flash when mx05 comes.change everything I know over to AS 2.0? does 2.0 just have added features, or does it change everything around?

I've upgraded a FlexBuilder3 project to FlashBuilder4, and I am seeing many compilation errors regarding unsupported tag attributes:
The style 'backgroundDisabledColor' is only supported by type 'mx.controls.TextInput' with the theme(s) 'halo'
Here is the offending mxml element:
<mx:TextInput x="245" y="86" id="code1" maxChars="15" change="enableButton(event)" cornerRadius="9" borderStyle="solid" backgroundDisabledColor="#7977b6" />
what is the best workaround for this particular error? I was able to easily resolve a similar error with the "backgroundColor" attribute by changing it to "contentBackgroundColor", and was hoping there was a simple workaround for backgroundDisabledColor as well. I realize I can apply a css style, but I'd rather have a simpler solution as there are many many other attribute errors similar to this one.

We have several systems, inside and outside (development, test and production), that we need to upgrade FMS on Over time, I have found the process utterly cumbersome, prone to errors and time consuming... and outright annoying therefore.The permissions are never consistent, usually insecure (tmp and other directories world writable), and so onI wonder if anyone here has come up with a nifty way to work around this. For example, our setup is pretty uniform, so it's really unnecessary to do an interactive install all the time -- I could of course strip down the installFMS script, but I don't want to conflict with future changes

I am trying to make my flex app work on Android, and that involves making an AIR app to run on Android. Seeing as the flex app needs the mic, an AIR app is required. I am using flash builder 4.5 on win7 with air 2.6. The trouble seems to be that most of it is now not available. For example mx.containers is there, but not mx.containers.viewStack. I notice that there are obvious equivalents in spark for some components but not others. VBox, HBox, Canvas VDividedBox, AdvancedDataGrid and associated custom renderers are the components my application uses the most. What is the fastest way to make this work on Android, I am under time pressure. Is there a site somewhere that recommends the best way to do this, and what components can be replaced with which?

Has anyone else noticed a lot of things breaking since flash player 11 was released? I have input text fields that display html content in them. They also have an image embed in them as well. Before people could enter text in them with no problems and now suddenly all the text types from right to left and is completely backwards?
Just to be clear it's not aligning to the right, the actual letters are coming out backwards like it might do for another language that is from right to left. These text fields are not TLFTextFields just regular textfields.
I have other textfields just like this that, but they don't have images in them and they seem to be working fine. Anyone else have this issue or know what might be causing it with flash player 11?

I have moved our project from SDK 2.0.1 to 3.5 because I'm using TLF. This has compiled OK in flex builder 3 IDE but I am now using command line compilation for our build system and getting errors for all the standard Flex resource bundles: Sharedresources, collections, containers, controls etc. I can see this is because of the improvements in Flex 3 and the SDK local folder doesn't have these as .properties files but now has a framework_rb.swc.

would go about setting up flash to display results returned by a SQL query one at a time.I can work out the query and PHP, but want I want to know is how to make flash take each one and animate it, including pausing and clearing the screen when full, then continuing on a 'new' screen. It's basically for displaying a list of events in a database.
