Professional :: Perform The Animations Of The Blank Character (template)
Apr 22, 2011
I have an animation of a blue ball falling from the top of the screen, bouncing off the bottom and exiting through the top. This animation "Bounce" is an action all "Ball" objects can perform. How do I apply this animation to other "Ball" objects? I thought of making a second layer (the skin of the ball object) that follows the first layer animation.
I am asking because I have an animation of a blank character performing actions, i'd like to be able to design and decorate several characters for my animation that can perform the animations of the blank character (template). My game randomly designs different faces/clothing for these character objects, but i'm not sure how to animate them based on an already made animation.

When the files are downloaded to your computer there are several file folders included. Some are for pictures and there is HTML as well as the SWF files and the INDEX. In very short order I determined that you could simply replace there pictures with your pictures and even change the text on the buttons as well as the body of the site. It seemed very painless. We are now down to just one issue that I cannot figure out. On the main page there is a place on the page for the company name. I went into the HTML and changed that which worked fine.
My issue is that she already has a predefined font for her company. It is Trajan Pro. I cannot find anything in the HTML that has to do with the font.However there is a folder included in the download which is entitled "fonts". Within that folder is the various fonts used in the website. how I can change the font that is being used?
PS -- There is a folder full of Photoshop images which are basically the pages of the site. They have many layers. I tried to change the company name and font in Photoshop but it had no affect.

I have created a stickman that can walk and it's a full 60 frames of him walking and at frame 60 he's the same as he is in frame 1 so it looks good and it loops well.
I want to have this same stickman jump and also duck at some point. Do I create completely new movie clips for those animations or do I put them all in one movie clip and use labels for the frames to jump around?
In my final flash movie output, I want my stick man to walk forward when I press the RIGHT arrow key, jump when I press the UP arrow and I want him to duck when I press the DOWN arrow.
Now I probably also want him to walk backwards as well so I'm thinking I need to also create a walking backwards walk cycle for him also? or is there some trick I can use to play the walk cycle backwards or something?

I have this animation I made that I'm trying to import using Flash. It's a pretty simple animation, with a black background and orange for the main character.What I was wondering is this: is there any way to change the color of the character in Flash so that it will subsequently change the color in each of the frames?Also, is there any way to isolate the character so that I can add other objects and animations that move independently from the primary animation?

My only accomplishment so far with it was to create a space shooter game which i modified slightly and animated it or at least the enemy spache ships and the players spaceship.
Here is what I want to do, but cant seem to figure out
I want to have a character on screen who is standing stationary normally, but still facing a direction.(left or right)
Now I want to be able to switch to a walking animation towards the right when I press a key and a seperate animation for when he walks left also at the press of a key I want to do down and up to, but I should be able to figure those out once I learn left and right
I also want it so when I lt go of the key they stop the walking animation and return to stationary, but stay facing whatever direction i pointed them

I am passing a string param into flex application as FlashVars.The param sometime contains special characters, everything shows fine except + sign which gets replaced by blank when it reaches flex.Here is the scenario for eg.I have a local variable in JS that gets some values and for this example it can be taken as following
var testVar = "some_test_string_that_contains_+_character";
Then to my Flex object AC_FL_RunContent I pass "FlashVars","test="+testVar
In the flex code on Init of application I have written
var testValue:String = application.parameters["testVar"].toString();
Alert.show(testValue);
Now this shows fine except the + character gets replaced by blank. It doesnt happens with other characters like /,@$-_ but the + character.

I am starting to develop an AIR application. After doing some code, I am able to test the AIR file from within Flash CS4. I then close the Movie Test and made some additional changes. I performed another Test Movie however nothing happens. If I restart Flash CS4, I am able to test the AIR file but not a second time.
Environment:
OS: Windows 7 64
Flash CS4
4GB RAM
I have performed the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Reset the configuration folder -> same issue
2. Reset the Registry Key -> same issue
3. Tested on Windows XP 32 (Same machine [dual-boot]) -> works
4. Tested with a brand new FLA AIR file -> same issue
5. If I convert the AIR file to a standard AS3 document -> able to to test with no issue

It will basically walk you through the windows to perform a typical setup, with some branching off for special cases. Essentially a main series of screen shots with text that you can scroll through using arrows, with links off to other screen shots or sequences as need. My boss wants it to be "hip and flashy", so wants me to look into Flash. But is that the best tool to use for this ? In all the Flash tutorials I have been watching I haven't seen anything that looks like that kind of application.

If you make multiple flash files from the same template and then edit that template, will all those files have those same changes? If not, is there a way to make the same change on multiple files at once? Basically the same idea as linking HTML files to a single CSS file...

I am using this template: [URL]
I would like to add text as it opens, going across the flag, something like this....
Sam Young. Not Uncle Sam, but here to serve you!
Now, obviously, that's not what I want it to say, but it's an example, of how I want it to move across the page, on the flag, before it opens to the first page. I've tried everything I know to do. I'm sure I'm just missing something silly.

i am new to Flash and am currently working with an XML based flash template. When i open the .fla file, none of the text or images show up. I understand this is b/c i have to edit the xml file in dreamweaver. However that is a very complicated way of doing it b/c then i have to keep going back and forth between several programs and saving, and updating, and never getting of "live view" of the chages i am making. My question is: Is there really no way for me to edit the whole xml flash template in Flash CS5? Meaning is there some sort of way to import or manipulate the files so that i can edit the text and images directly in flash pro cs5 and not having to keep going into dreamweaver?

I purchased a premade Flash template last night that is almost perfect for what I need right out of the box.The template is divided into 2 sections, the top being the flash portion and the bottom HTML editable The problem I am running into is editing the the buttons. When I dbl click the menu icons it just keeps jumping back and forth between layers, never allowing me the chance to alter the text.I can upload the SWF file if that would help.

On the About Us and Services pages there is a link to open up a pop up box. This works fine but for some reason if I change the text in one section, for instance the "our team" pop up box text the pop up box on the Services page "read more" and "paranormal info" box has the same text displayed.I can't seem to find where to change the text for each box individually. If you visitI've uploaded the .fla file to the server also if someone is kind enough to have a look for me and point me in the right direction. You can download this from:

Im developing an interactive in wich I use many animations either frame-by-frame (image-by-image) or with an embedded flv in the timeline and I have noticed that all of them don't play smoothly when first played, but once the animation has occured once they play the way its supposed to be. Im assuming is because once played an animation gets into the machine cache or something, so I wanna know if there is any way to force an animation to get into the display cache before is played.

I'm a newbie in adobe flash cs4 and i'm trying to create a simple (i hope) animation.
What i'm trying to do is the following:
I have 3 boxes (b1, b2 and b3).I want to draw a line, starting on b1 and ending in b2. After that i want to draw another line connecting b2 to b3.
The goal is to give the effect of lines growing between the boxes.
Is this simple? And what frame per second value do you recommend?

What is the best way to convert an animation created in Flash to a .mov file. I've tried the export movie command in the file menu, changing various settings in the publish settings in Flash and and in the Quicktime options boxes. But the resulting .mov file has all kinds of fragments and artifacts. Has anybody had any luck creating animations in Flash and then converting them into a format that can be assemble in iMovie?

I'm fairly new to Flash and I'm having a bit of trouble. I've created two animations. One's a bouncing text animation and the other animation is a series of twinkling stars. I've added a key frame stop to keep the bounching text from looping, but I want the twinkling star animation to continue to loop. Is there any way to have one animation stop and the other loop?

I need to create animations fron a set of jpegs. I can layer selections in photoshop; create symbols in Flash, although When I open a multi-layer psd in FL, don't always get multi-layers in FL. More importantly, what graphic/symbol formats are required for the typical animation techniques (eg, different tweens, bones, puppet).

I have 2 Flash animations, both tweened and working as intended, and now I'd like to make a third flash animation which will be composed of the other 2 animations playing after each other (with a few empty frames in between). How I do this? I tried just adding them to the time line and giving enough frames, but that doesn't do the trick.

I have created an app in CS5.5 for Android and iOS. I have tested on two Android devices and everyingthing works fine. However, on an iPad and iPhone the animations are really slow. Here are some more facts:
1) My project has many scenes and in the problems scene there are upwards of 1,200 frames. But even simple animations run slowly.
2) The frame rate is set for 24 fps.
3) I have created a universal app (iphone and ipad), publish resolution is standard at full screen.
4) Ironically, I have already tried caching as bitmap. That actually slowed my animations even more. I am truely at the end of the line here and don't have any possible solutions.

I had someone create a template site for me that is pretty simple - a single swf that pulls resources from a directory of xml files and assets. In theory, I should be able to update the xml for my site and provide new assets. I know some code and within the xml there are some <font> tags that over ride the swf's formatting or provide and href.
My problem is that I now have to update our logo, which is hard coded into the source .fla file, which I know how to get in and swap out (the guy who did the work is not available). My problem is, when I publish, the new swf with the new logo does not want to read the <font> tags anymore. I have tried everything and I can't crack this. I've narrowed it down to two possibilities:
1. Something in the Publish settings, though I've tried every conceivable variation to no avail.
2. Something in the .as file that defines page template.
I know I need to provide more info but this is a start. I'm working on a Mac (as was the coder) and we were both using CS4.

I am new to Flash and was trying to start a website for my photography business. I have an up and running version of Flash Pro CS4 with all updates. I purchased a full flash template from [URL] hoping to just open the .fla file and go to work editing. No such luck. When I click on the main.fla file, all the components seem to load in the library, however in the timeline, I only show like 9 random layers. When I run the timeline, all I get is a bunch of lines, squares, etc running on and off the stage. When I click "publish" the layers and components run fine with all the default content. The template came in a ZIP file and after extracting, I get the usual files, .fla, .html, .XML, .SWA, etc. All the components seem to be in the .fla file. What am I missing? I know there should be more layers in the timeline, but I cant find them. My troubleshooting has been to confirm that the template is good with CS4 and ActionScript 3.0. I've tried different settings to include changing the pixel size, but nothing.
