Is there any way to crop my drawings in Flash CS5? I want to make a scrolling background out of this:and I want to crop the ends of those layers so that they are smooth, like this:but that was done in Paint, so it isn't vector graphic anymore. So is there a way to achieve the above by cropping or some other way in Flash CS5?
View 3 RepliesI'm attempting to learn flash using Adobe CS4. I've found some really good tutorials, but I can't use them because every time I draw something on the stage, the resultant drawing disappears immediately after I release the mouse. Since I can't see it, I can't select and manipulate it. I captured the behavior and stuck it on youtube. I don't have a mike on this system so there's no sound. [URL]. If I create the file with ActionScript 2.0 instead of 3.0, I get outlines of the objects, but not the objects themselves. That's not on the vid, but I'd rather use 3.0 anyway.
View 3 RepliesDoes anyone know a way to crop a SWF like you would crop an image in Photoshop? I'm building a Flash Banners application in my Flash portfolio website and I'm loading a SWF using addChild via a URL loader object. There is no way to mask the outsides of the SWF because addChild puts the SWF at the front of the display list so the masks would just show up anyway and the masks will just be huge white sheets that will look dreadful. I need to LITERALLY crop the SWF down to 550 X 325 pixels.
View 5 Replieswhen i draw anything using any tool on a layer it disappears as soon as i release the mouse button, then when i click the timeline it reappears again but when you are drawing having your image not on the screen makes it kind of impossible do draw anything I saw another guy with a similar problem who made this video [URL] I tried reinstalling the software ( im using the demo) whats going on?

View 1 RepliesI'm developing a coloring website for kids, so I need some AS3 Coloring tool, or a class that helps in this.I could do one by myself but I have no idea how a tool like that works. One way would be to have shapes behind the black lines, but this way I think would be much harder.
What I need is a tool, where I can use any png 32 bits files.This tool: [URL]is almost what I need, expect the fact that the files with the drawing must be swf format.
I have drawn objects outside the stage in the belief they would be croped automatically when creating the swf. BUT it doesn't. The objects are of course on the stage but pour over the edge... Anyone who knows what I need to do? To actually draw the objects inside the stage can be trickey since they are sort of supposed to be bigger than the stage. If I draw them inside the stage there is a risk of a little gap.

I am about to create my first drawing in the adobe flash of some creature.
The problem is CAN i resize it when the flash is running (in runtime) by the end user.
Example: I want to increase the height of the creature.
I have an animated logo .fla file, there some some AS 2.0 in it. I basically need to scale and crop the entire file (just like you'd scale and crop an image in photoshop).
View 1 RepliesFlash 8's video encoder, use to let you crop (cut x amount of pixels out) and then resize a video (and in that order it did it). CS5's Media Encoder is confusing, from what I can tell it cannot do both, you either can crop or resize but not both. ANd if you can do both, you definately cant crop before the resize. So which is it? Resizing made sense last, because you could put in new values for the resize nad figure out how much you need to crop out.

View 1 RepliesNot sure what it's really called, but I'm curious as to how I would go about taking two images I've drawn and somehow make Flash tween them. It's hard to explain as I don't know about it other than that I've seen it executed in a few animations before. I know for sure because of some that used it poorly, where the parts of two completely different images transitioned like a tween. I want to try to use this with static images that go together in a short animation. Is this a built-in function in Flash? Or is it some user-made ActionScript function? If either, what's it called or how would I use it?

View 7 RepliesI'm running a web application built on Seam. I would like to have an image upload + crop component. Preferably on client side, so the image uploaded to the server would be the result of the crop. I read this can be made with Flash 10. I was thinking flex is also a possibility. Does anyone has good hints to give me, what component to choose or what is the best way to connect the backing bean I have with the flash/flex?

I have a streaming video that is displayed on a web page through a flash player from an external source. This video has a huge border that I would like to crop out before displaying.

View 1 RepliesThere's only room for three lines of text in the interface, but the content is external and variable, and if it ends up taking up more than three lines, there needs to be some sort of 'view all' button functionality. I can kind of think about what that function needs to look like, but I'm not quite sure what the best way to do it in AS3 would be. Something like (in pseudo code):

I'm doing an art project in Flash where I'd like to make realalistic line drawings of girl's faces with lines represing long flowy hair. I want to make the hair appear to be flowing in the air as if a cool breeze is blowing on it.
I tried drawing these lines for the hair flowing in the air frame by frame, but it just doesn't look natural. I was wondering if anyone knows of a solution I should do with Action Script. I have a couple specific questions in addition to my request for an AS solution to create the look of natural looking flowing hair.
1) Can AS create photorealistic natureal looking hair?
2) Can AS creates a natural looking animation of the hair moving in a sequential, breezy flow?
3) If yes and yes, how can the file size be kept low while still maintaining the apperance of a photorealistic drawing?
Which is a better approach for this?
ActionScript3 or JavaScript+PHP?
Any open source tool?
After a long search, the only good example I found was this [URL] but I'd rather have a flash alternative.. Also I don't need all the extra functions such as filters.
i have the following problem: when i publish my site (all in flash) with stage.scalemode=exactfit parameter, the page is stretched; while when i use the scalemode=noborder parameter, the page is cropped below;
what i want is the site adapting itself to the width of the screen (with no borders on the sides),maintaining proportions and so allowing down scrolling; I haven't found any answer around the web to this apparently simple issue
Is there a way to crop a movieclip using ActionScript (2.0) in Flash ?
What I basically have is a jpg which I load into a movieclip and afterwards I need to apply certain changes to that image such as crop or resize.
I have a 'puzzle' with the pieces 'scattered' haphazardly around. These pieces are all instances of my PTPuzzlePiece.as class, which works great for all intents and purposes. When the user selects a photo from the picture library, the pieces all properly display their 'masked' portion of the image. However, I have a problem in that the masked bitmap displayed in each piece is only 'masked' and not cropped.
This means that, for instance on the third piece down on the left hand side, 100 not-visible pixels of bitmap extend below the piece and out of the 'framed' area. This totally throws off my calculations when I go to scale and then print the screen using the AIR PrintJob, and when I scale that 'card' down to a 'button' on the menu where the user chooses which 'card' they wish to use. Is there a way to crop the not-visible area out, or copy only the visible pixels as BitmapData into a new Bitmap entity so that the layout is entirely contained within the 'frame'?
