So I created an animation with a guy swing his left arm back and forth. The problem is his arm is swinging too fast. Is there any way I can extend the whole action, rather than deleting all the keyframes and redoing it?
View 1 RepliesI am still making some language flashcards. there are about 20 on the page. when i click the card it is supposed to 'flip' so you can see the translation. the first card does pretty well but then as I continue to the next cards, the tween becomes worse and worse. for some reason as the card flips, its dimensions get thrown off and it becomes really wide or really tall. I want the flip to be a strictly horizontal flip over the y axis. What am I doing wrong?
View 1 RepliesI have a 720x576px clip (anamorphic), which I want to encode into a flv with the right aspect ratio (720x405px). In the new flash media encoder, you have three settings.
- Scale to fit
- Black borders
- Change output size
But none of those settings allows me to stretch the video to the right aspect ratio, I always get the file with 720x405, but black borders left and right.
how do I consolidate adobe flash arrange window area so that I can make my time line small to be able to see the whole movie with keyframes how I want to see them. there are some times I have to scrool alway the way right, how do i avoide from doing this?
Something similar to how adobes audition stretches waves is this possible to do in your timeline?
I like to keep my timelines compact, so I often have several graphics in a single layer. Let's imagine that I have a series of five keyframes, with four shapes in each one. Over the course of those five keyframes, one of the four shapes changes into a different shape. Now, let's say that I realize that one of the static shapes needs to be something different. "Oh no! That circle shoudl be a triangle instead!".
I know how to use Edit Multiple Frames to drag a box around that shape and delete it across those keyframes, but there are a few problems with that.One is that if the keyframes are really long or I have more like 30 or 40 keyframes in which I want to make this change, I have to drag and scroll and drag and scroll the shaded part of the playhead to cover all the of the keyframes or be willing to do it in chunks. Also, if the thing I want to delete is sitting on top of something else,then I can't drag a box around it without selecting that other thing. I could click the object and delete it, but that only deletes it from the right-most keyframe. I then have to click and delete for every keyframe.
All of this is secondary to the fact that Edit Multiple Frames doesn't seem to allow you to paste something into all of those frames. At least, not any way I can tell. I suppose this is a sade-effect of not assigning every asset its own layer, but that would get almost unmanageable with some of the projects I work on.if there's a way to paste things into multiple/successive keyframes on the same layer?
I have completed a bunch of keyframes with 2 symbol on each moving around. Now I want to add another symbol that will be static. That is, at the same position in each keyframe.
How can I add the new symbol to 250 keyframes that are already set and already have 2 symbols in each?
I can see how to do it one by one... but there must be a better way than that. selecting a herd of keyframes and pasting in the new symbol, ends up only effecting which ever one has the play head.
I also realize I should have put this final symbol in at the start but too late now. So how can I insert a new symbol in 250 keyframes all at once?
I am creating a very simple file with 4 single frame scenes in Flash CS3. These are linked by simple arrow buttons. However, the movie doesn't stop on the keyframes even though I have put a stop script in each of the four. There is no other script involved so far. The stop script appears on the top of the actions panel on the actions layer. Please see JPEG screenshot attached. [URL].
View 4 RepliesA new glitch (amongst the millions I already have) in CS4, is that recently i will be unable to clear keyframes. I usualy do this by selecting the keyframes in the timeline, right clicking and selecting 'clear keyframes' but it's greyed out frequently, I can't work out why this is and I don't know of a cure/ work around for this? I tend to just go in and out of symbols until it works. this is sucbh a pain.
View 7 RepliesI want to know if its possible to move or stretch out a video as it moves along the timeline. For example, I would like to remove black bars from being shown on the stage in one part of the video, so by stretching it out the black bars wont show, and then I can just revert it back as those frames end. Can I do this with the playback component or embedding?
View 4 RepliesI am using code from a tutorial that I downloaded to get an Home.swf to preload in my "index" page.the problem is that a part of the code reads
movie1_btn.onPress=function(){
startPreload ("Home.swf");
}
which means that I have to create a button to get the .swf file to load, how do I edit this code so that the action begins on it's own at that frame?
In Flash CS5, after you've inserted a keyframe in a motion tween, how do you move that keyframe to another frame?
View 3 RepliesI am working freelance on an animated show for children, animating characters in flash, and I have a problem that is driving me crazy.
I will try to explain it so it won't be too confusing. This just happened on the file I am working on now, an animation of a character walking: The graphic symbol containing the legs had two keyframes in it (on frame 1 and 2) when I saved the file. When I reopened it, the legs had only keyframes on frame 1. When I check the swf I exported just before saving, the legs are fine.
Similar problems has happened many times now, sometimes keyframes are gone, other times they have turned blank, and on one occation graphic symbols had changed to empty movie clip symbols. The last swf exported has always been okay.
[Code]...
How do you hide the lines that form on the stage with all of the dots that form as you move a symbol from one spot to another on the stage?
View 1 RepliesI feel like this should be pretty straightforward, but I can't figure out a way to easily move a single keyframe within a motion tween to adjust timing. I can't even figure out how to delete a single keyframe, for that matter. Everything I try ends up deleting all the keyframes within the tween or the entire tween.
View 2 RepliesI havve accidently created extra unneeded key frames in a layer, in the middle of motion tween. I was wondering how to change these keyframes, without deleting them so not to change the length?
View 3 RepliesI keep getting dashed lines between keyframes after I select "Motion Tween" in the properties. Even a bouncing ball won't give me a solid tweening line in the Timeline. I created symbols and all but no go.

I have experimented with adding the square child elsewhere (such as in the code where it is created twice), but that proves even more disastrous.
I want the video not to loop, but to stop on the final frame of the video. I want to add that action before publishing the SWFas3 file. I need a litle advice. I went to last frame and right-clicked on Actions. I don't know what to put in the dialog box.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create a countdown timer for my website. I have written a code in ActionScript 2.0 that is working but I have a background that I created in Illustrator onto which I want to embed the timer. So, I have the image and on top of that image is where I would like the numbers to countdown, if that makes any sense?
I've posted the image I am talking about. The bottom half (the box at the bottom) is where I want to put the numbers counting down using Flash.
Is there a specific format that I need to have the imported image in since I have tried jpg, gif, bitmap and none of these allow me to put an action onto it?
I am trying to help my colleague figure out how to make a button act like the Mac buttons do. In other words, when your mouse gets closer to a button, they will steadily grow larger. He found a piece of code, so i put it in my FLA file, closed my eyes, then peeked and hoped it worked. It didn't.
I have attached the FLA to this message. If you remove the top portion of the code [the portion between the // lines], you will see the file works fine as the buttons will advance frames. But when i put the top piece of code back [the piece my colleague gave me] i get error messages.bottom line is - what we're trying to do is make those triangle buttons "grow" as the mouse moves closer to them [like Mac buttons do].
I have a button which appears on multiple frames. I want to define an action on the button rather than each instance. Is there any way that I can do this in CS5?
View 4 RepliesSo when I just got a new work computer with Flash CS4 on it and all was working fine until I opened up my Action window to edit my actions.All I entered was a simple line:
var varSend:URLRequest = new URLRequest("welcome.php");
varSend.method=URLRequestMethod.POST;
Cursor started falling behind and the letters started going on top each other. Even though there were no syntax errors and the sentance is seen as fine, the visual makes it very confusing
I prepared a project and i can published it without any error.Action folder includes actionscript files.But when i decompile the swf file there isn't action folder and actionscript files are missing.
NOTE : On CS4 I didn't face a problem like this and i could see Action folder when i decompile the swf file.
I have sound attached to the button, and it's played when the button is pressed. How to do that after pressing button, sound is played continuously? Without action script.
