Dec 6, 2011
I've tried searching but have not succeded in finding an answer, I just hope i'm not asking something that has already been answered.ANyway , here I go.For some reason the filter option is greyed out in the motion editor ans i don't understand why, and I was hoping someone would be kind enough to enlighten me on the matter?Could it have to to with the fact that i'm apply ing the motion tween to a graphic symbol with an imbedded animation ? Should i change it to a movie clip?

I really like the motion editor in CS4. A lot is easier than before, particularly working with ease. But I wounder how you use the custom curve when having a complicated motion with a lot of keyframes. In programs like AE it's easy to select a key and tell if it's going to be a easy in/out or both, and then I select next key and tell how that key should ease. In Flash CS4 I allways get a easy curve that range the entire tween. Is the workflow to brake everything apart so you tween every single motion, or is it another way doing it?

Why are the scale x and y options grayed out on the motion editor? I tried editing width and height (W&H) in the "properties panel" under "position and size" and all that does is move the position my object diagonally for some reason, not scale the size. Also, when i do this, the Width number does not change, but the x and y position numbers above it change. Strange!

Is there a way to move multiple frames in the motion editor (CS4)? Like now I have to move them one by one and it's hard to make them keep their values coz the shift+move doesn't seem to work.

I recently migrated from CS3 to CS4, and have a question about the "Motion Editor". In principle it sounds fantastic, but I can never get it to work on any of my fla files. The tab is there, but when I select a tween span in any of my files, the Motion Editor continues to say "to edit properties, select a tween span in the timeline or a tweened object in the document." Nothing I do can get the Motion Editor to show anything but this.
Is this because the Motion Editor works only on tweens in new fla files created in CS4? (My existing files were all created in CS3.) Very frustrating, as I would like to use this new feature. I tried to get it to work in a new CS4 file, creating a tween and going to the Motion Editor tab, but.

I'm struggling through trying to learn the new tween system. Is it just me or did they completely NUKE workflow with this new system? Is there any way to copy and paste the property keyframes?I often have animations where things loop, so the last frame of the motion tween needs to be the same as the first frame. In the old days I would just select and copy multiple keyframes from frame 1 and paste them at the end. Done in 5 seconds. The only way I can find to do this now is to hand set every freaking property on every freaking keyframe of every freaking object.

"How do I get the motion editor to show easing controls"?
I've just made my first flash movie in flash cs4 and I wanted to add easing to the (classic) tweens I created. I tried selecting the first graphic, then I tried selecting the (classic) tween span, but each time I go into the motion editor it just says "To edit properties, select a tween span in the timeline or a tweened object in the document".

The playhead in Motion Editor doesn't work and I'm seeing in tutorials.I can't scrub it along the timeline.When I pick a keyframe point it doesn't appear there unless I change the value of that point. If I then click on the playhead rectangle, the playhead disappears (actually it appears to jump to the first frame where it's half visible and can't be moved).I was playing with the motion editor interface trying to better define the problem and I figured out what's wrong.
The Motion Editor values for graph size, expanded graph size, and viewable frames were unusable in their default settings. In particular, viewable frames were set to 1 by default. As I increased the value the playhead started to function. I can't set a value higher than 117. I've maxed-out the graph size setting at 180 (300" wide format display) and the expanded graph size at 200.

I've been using the motion editor for my Motion Tweens, but as you probably know, I can't use the motion editor on a Shape Tween. Is there no way to do this? I just want it to slowly ease in.

I'm trying to access the rotationY property in code to determine the current state of a movie clip that has its rotationY animated in the motion editor. What I'm seeing is that the value of the property reported in a trace stmt is different than the value shown in the motion editor.
In the motion editor I created a tween from rotationY=0 at frame 0 to rotationY=353 at the last frame. I've added the attached code to get the value of rotationY at every frame.
What I see is that the rotation does not increase steadily from 0 to 353. Instead it increases from 0 to 90 and then decreases back to 0 and then goes negative to -90 at which point the absolute values decrease toward 0. This seems like a bug. The rotation of the object is visibly different during the 0 to 90 deg

I recently installed Flash CS4. As I attempt to learn from different tutorials I've run into a problem I can't figure out. I've watched the video tutorial at: [URL] several times to try to emulate the rotating logo. The problem I run into is when he says to open the Motion Editor and to edit the Rotation Y and Rotation Z properties. When I open my Motion Editor there is no Rotation Y or Rotation X. There is only a Rotation Z property. I've played it over and over to try to discover what setting I've missed but don't see it. How do I see a Rotation Y property to be able to edit it?

Is it just me or is creating and applying custom easing with the motion editor absurdly difficult? Firstly, the bezier curve tool for custom easing has a mind of its own. It will change the curve at a different anchor point to the one you're editing on a whim and every time you get close to where you want the curve it does it again and you're back to square one. Second, you have to recreate a custom ease for every tween as there's no way to save them. It's impossible to create two custom eases exactly the same! The entire motion editor seems designed to infuriate me and parts of it don't seem to have been tested at all.

I'm just now trying the Motion Editor for the first time in CS4 Professional. I've created a shape, converted it to a symbol, done an Insert Motion Tween, and brought up the Motion Editor. I'm looking for Rotation X and Rotation Y, but only see Rotation Z. My Publish Settings are Flash Player 10, ActionScript 3.

Im building a program that queries a database for options and displays the options in a number of comboBoxes. The comboBoxes are dynamically built and loaded via code and added to the stage. I would like to build the comboBoxes into a single movie clip (maybe not the correct wording) so I can use options like tweening and such to make it look better. The code is below.
package classFiles
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I've run into a bug where text (static or dynamic) is cut off when filters are applied. For example, I can create a static text object on the stage with a common font (Arial) and put some text into it, and it displays just fine. I'm putting a tween on it to gently fade it in from invisible (alpha=0%) to full (alpha=100%) and back to invisible. At this point, the text looks just fine. The trouble starts when I add a filter, like drop shadow for example. Once the filter is applied, the last character is cut off. For example, if the last word ends with an 'e', the 'e' character is lopped off vertically so only the left two thirds of the 'e' displays and the rightmost remaining third is not visible. I've tried quite a bit of adjusting things to fix this... adding multiple extra spaces at the end, increasing the size of the text box, several different fonts... nothing works except taking the filter back off. This is on the Mac version of Flash, by the way.

I tried to apply a filter to a video on mobile phones and had a strange effect:
When I apply the filter to a 24 FPS source video the resulting frame-rate after applying the filter drops to about 7 FPS. But if I use a 8 FPS source video the frame-rate is even lower at about 3-4 FPS. I expected an higher, or at least equal resulting framer-rate with the 8 FPS source video. What's the reason for this behavior?
I use the Flash Player 10.1 for Android 2.2 and the Google Nexus One.
