View 11 Repliesflash document is.. 1920 px by 1080 px, 1080p resolution for animation, standard stuff.When I go to export the stage as a PNG files, doesn't matter if I specify the resolution as 1920 by 1080 or click match movie, the exported png file is HUGE, the size to be exact is 8000 by 4500, why is this? I can't find a way to fix that.Secondly, it's not exporting the full stage, it seems to be cutting off most of the right side, see the image below.[URL]
View 4 RepliesI just created my first animation of a plant "growing up", following the tutorial here: http:[url]..... It worked wonders: I basically drew a few lines, transformed it to symbol, created a new mask and script layer, and just used a brush to cover a part of the image on every frame in order to give the illusion of appearance. However, I don't need a background, I just need to cut the animation and make it an independent SWF.
View 8 RepliesI purchased a template from template monster that has a Flash Intro. It has a header with a previous and next button and three photos.When the site loads up the first photo drops into place and text flies out from the sides of the photo then when you hit the next button the next photo drops in with its text and so on.I was able to change the photos and text and all works fine. What I want is for the banner to automatically rotate these three images and texts every 4 seconds or when someone hits those next or previous buttons.
Right now the images/text only move if you hit the next or previous buttons. In dreamweaver I set the Flash to autoplay and loop but that did nothting.

View 3 RepliesI've received a .fla file with a movie that I'm supposed to edit. I have managed to make little changes as entering the movieclips and updating pictures.I have to cut out from the movie from a certain point to the end. I have managed to selecting all frames in that certain point and pressing SHIFT + F5 .The second part that I must cut is between the frames 510 to 671. I have deleted the layers with the content that was supposed to appear in that part of the movie, but I'd like to make the movie shorter by cutting these frames as the only thing that is seen in that part is the background image.When I select all the frames between 510 to 671 and press SHIFT + F5 all the rest of the movie is modificated, pictures aren't shown and there are graphics appearing where they should not.

View 1 RepliesHow would I go about cutting a transparent hole into a Graphic and leaving a stroke around the hole I just made (similar to if I had used the Eraser tool on the Flash canvas, minus the stroke)? My first instinct tells me to draw a circle over the spot I want to "cut out" with a stroke of an arbitrary width and an alpha-less fill, but if I were to click-and-drag this hole - or simply make another overlapping hole for that matter (again, as if I were using the Eraser tool), the stroke would definitely not appear the way I want it to. If anyone is familiar with how the terrain is blown away in the 2D Worms series, that is more or less what I am going for.
View 1 RepliesI made a post under actionscript 2.0, but I wasn't sure if it belonged there. So here goes.I made a text box and added a mask to it, it is really long so I made it scrollable. For some reason it keeps cutting off the bottom of the text, meaning it won't scroll all the way down, it truncates it. The text is dynamic and the fonts are embedded, heck I even tried breaking the fonts apart.

I have a scrollpane who's source is a movieclip filled with checkboxes.It works fine, except that some of the checkboxes names are cut off.The checkboxes are for science words.Biology is fine Astromony comes out Astronom with the y cut off. Adjusting the scrollpane width does not help Adjusting the movieclip width makes it look bizarre like it's stretched.

2- now, thats a funny one, i can make mask to make thing appear in an animation fashion style, no probleme as with any Adobe program... however unlike all other Adobe programs, it seem i am unable to find HOW make the exact reversed result... I want to make thing disappear without using the alpha channel, because i want to make it in an animation style way. It is to use for a sub-menu, where when you click the button to open the sub-menu, you see it appear nicely and in an animated way. But when you click again the button to close it, or once you picked your choice, it close the sub-menu in the exact reverse way it was open...
I've dynamically drawn a gradient background on a little widget I've built (pulls in EPA/National Allergy Bureau climate data from a vendor, if you're curious), and I have applied an AS 2.0 drop shadow filter to the background. Standard stuff...except...
...I embedded the SWF using SWFObject and matching the dimensions of the widget stage exactly. And the left/right edges are cutting off. Are there any guidelines for using a background AS 2.0 drop shadow filter and accommodating the filter with the embed? It's a 10px (5px depth, 5px blur) 90-degree filter, and I left room on the stage for the 10px below the background. But the "edge" I expect to see on the embed isn't showing up.
Here's the filter code, BTW:
Code:
outlineShadow = new DropShadowFilter(5,90,0x000000,0.33,5,5,1,2,false,false,false);
[code]The problem is that the mask isn't applied. Now, if I just add mask_container it adds to the stage just fine. If I mask mask_container with square, it masks just fine. They're both Sprites so both are on the display list.
View 3 RepliesI saw one video on how to use flv file in flash and mask it. It is working fine when I am using the following option while importing a video file to flash:
Load external video with playback component
But when I tried with the following option it doesn't show the background, it shows only movie which is playing nicely. But not the background which has a bill board.Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline.It seems the mask is not working with this option.Actually it should be like the above.But when I am using the option Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline while importing the flv video, getting the result like below: It is not showing the Bill board as above.See the layers created:
I have a problem which I can't resolve. The problem is that if I apply a mask to object, it shows up deformed in swf.Here is what I see in Flash CS5 (sorry for large images): And this is what I get when I compile it and run swf (or run it embedded in html):
It looks a little bit rotated and skewed to the left. If I copy and paste the movieclip with mask to a new flash document, the problem dissaperas, so I guess it has something to do with Flash settings. I tried to compile for Flash 10 and Flash 9, but the deformation remains. The problem is that creating a new flash document and copying all images to new one is not an option, because the project is ~80MB.Here are my publish settings.
I want to know how can I mask an image on one layer which should enogh for other movie clips. Like the following ...
1) First layer ........................ Actionscript
2) Mask layer ....................... Rounded rectange with some design
2) Image layer ...................... Best image (as a background for all other movie clips)
3) Movie Clips layer .............. 10 Movie clips (which are like slides and will be act like one webpage each)
What I want is the mask layer (Layer 2) should be enogh for all the movie clips in layer 3. No need to mask in each movie. I tried in the same sequence but it did not work for me.
I'm creating a UI which utilizes UILoader component to load content that I won't have control of.The "window" where I want content to appear is 950 x 420. Doing a simple test, I created a .swf with a stage size that matched, but with content bleeding over the edge of the stage.To ensure users only see what's on the stage of the loaded content - and not what's bleeding off - would the correct action be to create a mask for the UILoader instance? Are there any alternatives to using a mask? Like a property or something? (I didn't see anything.)

View 5 RepliesI have created mask layer with single MC cosisting of couple of instaces of another MC. This is a set of growing squares. The problem is that only first instance gives mask effect. Rest of instances are not used to. Does anybody knows what is wrong and how to workaround this (most likely)bug ? I would like to avoid creating one masking MC consisting of e.g. 100 layers - with teened growing sqare on each layer but in different position. Wiser is just to create one MC consisting of many instances of another single MC.Second example describing issue.Mask layer contains shape tween which consist of 3 keyframes.Masked layer contains single keyframe at first frame with one MC. This MCrestarts when middle keyframe in the mask is played. It seems that masked MC (on different layer obviously) is recreated when playhead meets keyframe in mask layer in tweened shape. In the same moment our MC stopped beeing visible for AS3 under given name as well.It seems that if mask layer contains more complex animation then basic shape move/scale then masking stops working properly. Is it bug in Flash palaer or am I doing mistake?

View 5 RepliesFlash CS4 AS2 Okay -I have a flash movie, and I want to apply a mask to it. The mask I want to apply, or rather, the "shape" of the mask I want to apply is an external image that was made in photoshop. The shape is an irregular one with a bunch of jagged edges. the shape itself is solid, with a transparent background. I've tried saving it as a PNG with transparent b/g, and I've tried importing the PSD file directly into Flash - however - when I go to use this shape for a mask, the mask that is applied is an entire rectangle bounding the imported image - rather than along the edges.Hopefully you can see what I'm trying to do here, and perhaps offer some insight on how I can get this image into flash (let's stick with the idea that the jagged edged manner of the image is too difficult to recreate inside of flash).
View 13 RepliesI am creating a very simple mask using motion tweening. I created some text on a layer and made it a masked layer. Then I created a mask layer which consists of a circle that will span across the text. When I play the movie the circle does not show up at all in the frames the mask layer spans (it's purple on a black background) and the circle does not move across the text like I told it to with the motion tweening. I don't know why it's not working. For some reason the circle isn't showing on the stage at all and it's not moving across the text. I don't know if I have it set up wrong on the timeline or what. Here's the steps I followed to create the mask:
1.insert a new layer in which I named it mask and click frame 1 on this layer
2. select the oval tools on the tools panel and set the stroke to none
3. set the fill color to purple
4. draw a circle and click the selection tool and drag a marquee around the circle to select it.
5. click insert on the menu bar, click motion tween then click ok in dialog box about converting it to a symbol to be tweened
6. click the last frame in the mask layer and drag the circle to the end of the line of text
7.click mask on the timeline to select the mask layer, click modify on the menu bar, point to timeline then click layer properties
8. verify the show check box is selected in the name section, click the lock check box to select it, click the mask option button in he type section, then click ok.
9. play the movie in which the circle object covers the text on the masked layer as it moves across the stage.
I have a circle mask over a photo. I'm trying to get it so the edges fade out to black. Currently, it just is a solid white circle. It's a movie clip and has a radial blur and is motion tweened. The alpha channel on the radial blur is 100% on the first point and 0% on the last. Can a spotlight with radial blur/fade be done without adding code or actionscript?
I've attached a photo of what I have now along with what the movieclip I'm using.
I'm on CS5, but can only use AS2, if actionscript is necessary.
I am creating a lightning effect with the deco tool. I have no problem using it in the timeline and applying a mask (with a brush) to give the effect of the lightning travelling through the air. However when I create a new layer for another bolt of lightning and a new mask to give the appearance of it travelling I cannot make the 2nd mask active as it is greyed out?
View 1 RepliesI am working on an animation with two masks, which plays in Flash as expected, an exported SWF is ok, an exported Quicktime is ok, except for the dreaded ghosting which renders it useless, but when I export it as an image sequence (gif, png or jpg), one of the masks is consistently ignored, while the other one masks as expected. This already shows when I export one single frame as an image. As a result, I currently have no way to create a quicktime movie for this animation (running CS4 on OSX 10.6.5)
Any other way to arrive at a quicktime movie?
