When I press command + option + enter, the graphics looks very good but when I look at the quick time mov I saved, its so bad. It's fine if I 'drag' the quick time window to the smallest but when I look at it in full screen mode, the picture is so bad... What can I do to improve the quality?
View 2 RepliesI just exported a flash project to create a Quicktime Movie and there are artifacts in the Quick Time Movie which do NOT exist in the flash project or the SWF file. Would anyone be able to explain why the ghosting is appearing in the movie file?
View 4 RepliesI have designed a Flash animation for a client who has asked me to also provide it in a format which can be used in a film he wants to produce in Apple Final Cut Pro. I assumed the best format would be QuickTime but whenever I export the Flash file in to QuickTime the quality of the film is awful - the graphics leave fragments of themselves behind as they move (if that makes sense?!) and the overall quality isn't very crisp.

View 7 RepliesThe quality of sound when playing my flash file on the timeline in flash CS4 is excellent, however when I go to test movie the sounds quality becomes awful, like its being played in a tunnel on terrible speakers, my sound files are .wav files, am I missing a process I must do to ensure the quality of sound is carried through to the final published animation?

View 4 RepliesWhen publishing a project from Camtasia Studio 7, the params list includes a setting for quality. But instead of the usual "high" value, it sets it to "best". I Google'd and searched these forums but had no luck finding any definitive explanation if these two settings are equivalent. Can anybody enlighten? This topic also spurred another question, does the quality default to the highest value if the parameter value is invalid?
View 2 RepliesI am developing a simple application using flex which records a video with my webcam and stores it to the media server and then i pull it in order to show it.The problem is that the quality of the video played is blurry while it is displayed with the same size as captured. I have played a lot with the values in the functionsbelow where i attach my cam to the netstream objec: cam.setMode(640, 480, 25);cam.setQuality(0,90);and the result is an flv video which i play later on but with not a good quality. The server is on my pc so i dont have transfer delays because of low connection. Whatcan i do to have a better output? i use netstream play method to play the video and i do the following
video = new Video(640,480);
video.attachNetStream(ns);
video.smoothing=true;

I would like to incorporate Flash animations into video editing applications but when I save the Flash files as movies the quality is not there (Flash affects fall off, trails and such). My swf files look great there is no lag and the motion is clean. How can I get swf file quality to video? What is create a Projector?
View 1 Repliesmy flash movie looks great when it is in it's .swf format. However, when I use the export to .avi option it comes out as REALLY horrible quality. Exporting to quicktime does nothing. I've been looking online and have only found people having the same problems with no solution. I've tried several conversion programs to just convert the swf to avi, but all of them are bad. They're all great in quality but half are fast by a good 30 seconds in sound and the other half replaces my black background to white! People use flash everyday & obviously overcome such a simple problem!
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a simple real time graph. The data is polled every 50ms, and each poll translates to a line one pixel wide, (data_point) pixels high. The graph scrolls such that new data is on the right, and the oldest values eventually fall off the left.
My solution is embarassingly brute-force, in that I just use theMC.graphics.clear() and a loop of lineTo()s for every graph refresh. While this displays correctly (and I can control the refresh rate to mitigate the CPU burn), it should be painfully evident why I want to move away from this method.
I want to programatically scroll or pan the entire graph one pixel to the left (and drop the leftmost line), and then just draw one new line on the right, but I can't figure out where to start. Assuming such a thing is possible in AS3, would someone be so kind as to point me in the right direction?
I have a basic html page and a big flash file I need to embed. I would like to allow the user to click on the links until the flash files loads.I was thinking of two ways to do this1. use an iframe and put the flash file in there2. use jquery to load and append the flash file to an internal div

View 1 RepliesI need to first express that I'm a fully self-taught Flash designer. No one has ever sat down and tried to explain to me the DOs and DONTs about Flash. I have followed tutorials, books, and anything else I can get my hands on, but never a person. People of Flash seem to be very hard to find, in my personal experience.I am the most comfortable with Photoshop, knowing very little about Illustrator or Fireworks.That said, I have been asked to create a 45KB (yikes!) max file, rotating 3 .jpg images I created from other .jpgs given to me. The images are usually large, so I am given room to compress them for a 300px x 250 px stage.
However, these images are always my biggest culprit for my huge file size. I'll import them in, making them into Graphic Symbols, but nothing seems to prevent the enourmous file size.When given the raw images, I would throw them into Photoshop, make the files the correct 300x250 size. Then I have tried: saving the image at the best resolution in .jpg and .png form, and then I tried saving the images as low-as-I-could-stomach quality. I hardly see a difference with file size when they are imported into Flash and used.I was told to use Fireworks's Optimize function, which I did, but it made my .swf even biggerWhen I have my Flash piece all set up/animted as I want, but I need to replace the bitmap(.jpg/.png) photos, I will:right click on the bitmap to get properties, "upload" the new image to be used, adjust the Quality, having "Allow smoothing" unclicked.
I understand I should make as much of the graphics in Flash as I can, instead of Import, but I am primarily given photographs to use.Seeing what my previous peers have done is mind-puzzling, but they are not around, so I cannot ask them for their advice. Their files are under 45KB and look sharp and amazing:[URL]
I am new to Flash CS5 and I have created a slide show. I am trying to reduce the .swf file size for faster loading. I have been trying to adjust the size using the jpeg quality slider, but it doesn't seem to function whether I set it to 0 or 100 or anywhere in between. Publishing always generates the same size swf file.
View 3 RepliesHere's my problem in a nutshell. I have a database (mysql), then i get data from an external php file that connects to the database. I use URLReqest and URLLoader to access the php file.
My question is, when i change data in my database, the change reflects in the php file. But when i access the php file from Flash, it doesn't refresh. I have to make a new php file, then access this new file to get the updated data.

I have two mp4 video files on webserver, i wanted to play them in flash player(flv player) on my asp.net page, but i couldn't be able to play them, i also tried to play them in quick time player the same prob occured. but i waz giving the accurate path, there were no spaces in mp4 file names etc. Does it need to have mp4 player(or codec etc) installed on webserver?
I have also some wmv files on that server , and i am playing perfectly using silver light player, and media player object on my website.

View 1 Repliesi have a test website here which has externally loaded files coming into the container on the main index page. the code on the buttons at the top right hand corner have this code on each of them for the externally loaded .swf files to come in:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "contact";
container.loadMovie("contact.swf");
[code].....
and that all works perfectly fine. what my problem is is when i click on the "contact" button and i'm on that page. on the left hand side column towards the bottom, i have a block of text with one red word. i want that word to bring in the f.a.q. page (and replace the contact page i'm currently looking at) which can also be accessed from the top nav. just a little thing, but i wanted to learn how to do it.
i've put the same code into the invisible button that says "faq" which is identical to the code listed above except i changed all instances of "_root" to "_parent" but that didn't do it. i think it's something like that that would have to do with the problem.
I asked this earlier but maybe I didn't give enough information. I am working on a website where video quality is very important and the client is delivering me the video already compressed. I then want to import it to flash CS3 and export it as .flv for progressive download with the media playback component. I have done all of this successfully in a sense that it all works but the video quality is not good enough, it's good but the client says it;s a bit grainy. I used the highest setting in Flash, on2 vp6 at 700kbs.
My question is what is the best file format (.mov etc) and what settings should the client use, so I can create the highest quality .flv export from their .mov file? Second question, I used an 8 second buffer but now the client is saying they don't want it to buffer at all. What are the other options besides progressive download, I have never delved into this before?
I have tried all manner of AS3 scripts to no avail. Most scripts that are listed on the internet either loads them and displays them at the same time (simlutaneously) or I get script errors.
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know if it is possible to set the quality of a particular movie clip rather than the entire flash movie?

I have created an animation in Flash which is 2mins long at 25fps, so 3000 in frame length. However when I export it as either a swf or a mov it plays for 6mins! The frame rate is definetely 25fps in Quicktime export settings also but still it doesn't play for the correct duration? The Quicktime movie says 6mins also desptire the fps matching.
The movie is a standard timeline animation?
I am using Flash CS4. To illustrate, I created a new flash file and added a short tick sound to the library. I set the properties of the sound to export to Actionscript and named the class "overSound". I added a Movieclip object to the stage to represent a button and gave it an instance name of "overButton". On frame 1 of the main timeline I added the following code:
