Shadow In Swf Not Looking Right
May 26, 2010
I've got a placed png file in flash that is set to multiply for it's blending. It's a shadow.If I were to put an image below in the flash file it would look fine, however I'm having save it out as is and pass on to a developer who's laying the swf file over an image on a html page.When this is done the shadow looks bad as it's transparency fades through white, so when on a dark image in the html page it looks rubbish. Is there a way to achieve a good look as if the dark image was in flash? Should I be creating the shadows in photoshop differently?

First i made the images with drop shadows in Illustrator and they looked fine there. When i copied them in to Flash they became pixelated.
I then got rid of the drop shadow in Illustrator and re-made it directly in Flash using the Filter/Drop Shadow property. It still is coming out very pixelated, even on "high quality" setting.

I'm using Flash CS5 on Macintosh.Googling has led me to maybe a dozen tutorials on creating a drop shadow in Flash, so I understand how the procedure is supposed to work. Select the object and then look for "Filters" and apply the "Drop shadow" filter. Simple enough.But it seems that you can only apply a filter to an "object." The things I've been trying to create a shadow on are of type "drawing object." Everything else I've tried to create or import has some other name, and none of them have the Filters menu.I'm embarrassed to have to ask about something that should be (and according to all the tutorials is) drop-dead simple, but I just don't see any way to create a drop shadow in Flash.

I'm having problems creating a vertical shadow using beginGradientFill. Basically, I'm just trying to put a verical shadow on my player controls. The horizontal shading looks great, but then why I try to move to the vertical it just goes grey (when I'm using a combination of white and black).

Okay so quite an ambiguous title but what I'm trying to do is cast a shadow off shapes from a light source. Simple enough and I have it working but I just can't work out how to fix the problem of when the light source is at a certain angle to the shape I'm casting a shadow from.I know it's the whole 180 to -180 thing, but I just can't think of a work around.I've attached the swf and fla so you can see for yourself.Basically the code works by chucking points of the shape in an array and then arranging the array by the angle of each point from the light source. No big deal. From there it just takes the first and last point in the array and draws a shadow from there. Sketchy for the time being I know, but I just don't understand why it's doing what it is.

So, the good news is that I've got this about 90% solved. Anyway, I'm trying to use TweenMax to have a drop shadow fade up on a Mouse Event (on a roll out). Everything works fine except for the shadow color. I've got it set to black (0x000000), but it's making a shadow that's the same color as the menubar sprite it's trying to shadow.
In other words: I've got a bright blue menu button, and it's giving it a bright blue shadow, despite the fact that I've got the color value set to 000000. Basically, I've got some code to put together the parts of the menubar (size, shape, text, shadow, etc.)

How do you remove the border & shadow from a scrollpane?I've tried to edit the component parts (after reading that it's a filter applied) but I can't find the component that needs edited.I've also tried setStyle for shadowColor and borderColor but that isn't making any difference.

I am fairly fluent in Photoshop, and im trying to figure out a small problem I am having. I will try to be as clear as possible, so bear with me...
I have created a character (superman) in Flash (action script3) who is divided in many layers. His eyebrows, mouth, wrinkles, eyes ect are all on seperate layers. I figured that was something you needed to do to allow ease in animation? Keep the head as one solid object, but keep the eyes, eyeborws ect on a different layer to animate... (right?) After building the face color layer, I added a shadow and highlights layer on top of it. After doing so, I have tried to `merge` them (which i believe is when you make it a `symbol'?) and it gives me a strange result. Either the shaded areas turn black, or the cut out the color of the face, almost like they have become a mask. Here is a before and after:
So im curious, is there any way I can merge my highlights and shadows layer to the base layer, without this problem? Or is there something I am missing. The shadows and highlights were made just by layering a black, or white, layer with opacity, over top of the solid color layer. I figured it would be as easy as it would be in Photoshop, just merge them in the end, but no. Then again, this is new software all together for me, so I could be missing something.
As you can see, its made up of many layers:
So the other question is: After I manage to merge the proper layers with each other (Face, face outline (stroke), highlights and shadows to make up the HEAD) how do I cut the rest of it up for animation? Seeing as his body is one piece, from neck to feet (including arms), how am I going to cut that up and still maintain the vector lines? Or will I need to build the arms totally separate, and then layer it that way...

Flash CS5
Is it possible to add drop shadow to plan views of vehicles (vehicles are png images as MovieClips) such that as the vehicles change direction along roads (also png images) the shadow is always cast to north west ot the vehicle ? Buildings in the base png image have shadows but vehicles also need them so as to belong to the scene and not appear false.
Is there control over opacity and softness ?
If I were to have plan views of humans walking would the shadows follow the leg movements ?

This probably goes for all programming languages. I use Adobe Flash AS3 and for some reason that is boyond this post, I cannot use built-in dropshadow filters. I do, however, have bitmap data available, with color and alpha values. So there should be a way to draw my own dropshadow filter.... right? Any good existing algorithms I should go and check out? Not specifically looking for an AS3 implementation, any other example will probably allow me to convert the code.

I'm having a hard time removing some type of shadow in a button control. Here's the button:
The button that's giving me trouble is the "zoomer" one. As you can see, the borders are not straight. I assume that there's some kind of gradient/shadow or sth that's inherited from the default skin.
