Professional :: Flash CS5 Bone Tool
Apr 19, 2011I'm having trouble with the Flash CS5 Bone Tool, Everytime I create 2 sets of objects whether its legs or arms, when I duplicate them. break them apart and make a second set of arms and legs, the two characters I assign them to, swap around when I saved them. So one has arms instead of legs and legs instead of arms, but the other character is completely unaffected. I move the bones within the symbols and they return to normal but then it affects the other character and vice versa.

Oct 8, 2011I've made a character, and used the bone tool to make it move in runtime.This works fine, but now I want to add gravity/physics, so I can throw my character and it lands on the ground like a real ragdoll. How do I do this in actionscript 3 ? And is it possible to do this within the fla (no class file).
View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Flash CS4 Bone Tool Animation Complex Shapes?
Mar 1, 2011Does anyone know the limit or extents of the limitations of the error message "The shape is to complex. Please optimize or convert to a movie clip" while using the bone tool on a single object which has been broken apart for the use of organic animation?
The bone tool in CS4 has great potential for organic looking animation. The only problem is it seems to be totally random as to whether or not it will accept me using the bone tool on my drawings. Sometimes it will work for images having up to 5 or 600 points other times less than 300. Also, I'm not talking about using the bone tool to link and animate individual movie clip symbols. So does anyone really understand the rules here, or perhaps know of a code or program setting I can use to change the complexity allowed with the bone rigging? My only current solution is using illustrator's more advanced optimizing features to lose less of my organic looking strokes but still this is not good enough.

View 1 RepliesProfessional :: Bone Tool Images Disappearing
Nov 10, 2010I'm creating a Flash animation using the bone tool to animate arms and legs. I created my characters in Illustrator and copy/paste the individual elements (such as the arms/legs/body etc) into Flash, then convert them to symbols. From there, I use Modify>Break Apart to get the symbol into its most primitive state and the use the bone tool to create joints. I did a small bit of animation, and now whenever I make any modifications (like adding more library items or more poses) whenever I save then re-open the file, the bones are still there, but the image is gone. So right now I have what is supposed to be a girl jumping up and down, but her arms and legs have disappeared so she just looks like a floating body. I've re-created this file multiple times, and this continues to happen, but at different points during the animation so I cannot pinpoint one certain thing that could be causing this.

View 1 RepliesProfessional :: IK Bone Tool And Movie Clips/tranform Bug?
Nov 25, 2008In Flash, when you rotate a movieclip in the IDE, thenrelease, the movieclip will often (80% of the time) lose .1-.2% ofits scale. You can see the numbers changing in the transformwindow. It will continue to decrease the more you rotate/release,gradually shrinking. For an IK armature (using the bone tool), which is prettymuch all about rotations, this is a major issue. A simple animationof a human character waving can bring their forearm scale down from100% to 92% by the end. Aside from being visually noticeable (my arm is shrinking!)the Armature itself seems to react badly, losing joint connections,randomly displacing movieclips, and generally being unpredictable.I can't tell to what extent the Armature bugginess is directlycaused by the gradual scale-creep -- but it's certainly not.The Armature in the Bone Tool is uneditable- editing theposition of a bone relative to another bone causes the othermovieclips in the skeleton to start inching in random directions.

Aug 22, 2011I want to have shape tween animation with bone tool on bitmap image. Because shape tween animation supports only Shape data type, I converted the bitmap to that type (Bitmap -> Trace Bitmap).

I didn't delete the previous layer, and I had unioned everything before breaking it apart again to apply the Bone tool.

Actionscript 3 :: Dragging A Bone System Element In Flash?
Jul 20, 2010I thought I had a really simple task to do: Create an analog clock where student could set the time by moving the hours and minutes handles.Well, the whole thing works to a point... I have created a bone system to ensure that both handles bases stay put in the center of the clock while the handles get dragged about. The problem is that I cannot restrict the user movement within the "reach" of each handle (or is there?) and if the mouse happens to be OUTSIDE of the dragged handle at drop point, the MOUSE_UP event does not trigger.I have also looked for a MovieClipModified event which would work wonders in this case but I could not find it...
View 1 RepliesFlash :: Combining Dynamic Symbols/movieclips On 1 Pre-existing Skeleton/bone Structure
Oct 21, 2010[URL]
I have a "person" so to speak, in flash, with a few different parts; head, pants, shirt and hat. There can be, for example, 10 different colors of shirts for the person. I've done a lot of the AS3 code behind it, but I'm awful in flash, and I've had a ton of trouble with this.
What I'm really trying got figure out (in vain) is how I can have basically a blank skeleton structure (i.e. I'm trying to have "blank" or "placeholder" symbols connected by Inverse Kinematics as bones) consisting of the pants, shirt, & head, and when I find out that shirt #6 needs to be on the person... put it in that placeholder. Does that make sense? That's the big problem. The other thing is that I've had nothing but trouble figuring out how to have, for example, one or two outlines of shirts, and when it sees shirt #6, it fills in that shirt with blue dynamically. But that might be for another question.
How I have it now: In AS3, each of the parts, the shirt, the pants, the head & hat, have their own custom classes behind movieclips, and for example, I've got it set up that the body contains the pants, shirt and head classes, and the head contains the hat class, etc.

View 1 RepliesProfessional :: Add More Than One Bone To A Symbol?
Nov 2, 2011[URL]
I can't seem to add more than one bone to a "Symbol" but I need to. For example I have the "body" symbol and I need to start the bone at the neck and then drag it to the waist/hip area, but when I drag the bone from the neck area to the waist it won't let me attach the boneto the waist hip area of the same symbol. Why is this? I've seen this done in a tutorial but I don't know how to do it.
How can I rig the character in the image so the legs are attached to a wiast or hip area?
1st bone - Start a bone at the head, then drag to the neck.
2nd bone - Drag the bone from the neck to the waist.
3rd bone - From the waist to the hip.
4th bone - From the hips to the legs.
IDE :: Can't Edit Animated Bone Shape
Oct 27, 2009I would like to edit the shape that the bone structure is manipulating and i can't for the life of me figure out how. Double clicking does nothing, right clicking offers no useful menu to get into my shape and edit. Looking back I wonder if I should have turned my shape into a movie clip before adding the bones? But Flash didn't stop me and I assumed I could go back and edit later on.
View 1 RepliesCreate An IK Bone Armature For Raster Graphics?
Aug 13, 2010I have recently been experimenting with animation in Flash, but now I've run into a problem-- whenever I try to add bones to a bitmap image I want to animate, I get a message saying that I "cannot link bitmap objects." Does this mean that bones can't be applied at all to raster graphics? I also tried converting the image to vectors via the Trace Bitmap function, but when I attempt to add bones to the result it complains that "the image is too complex. Please optimize or convert to a movie clip." I followed its directions, but it continued to complain that the image was too complex. As a sanity check, I drew a simple X on the frame with the pencil tool and received the same 'too complex' message from Flash when I tried to add bones to it.

Oct 7, 2009it is possible to move an object that has a bone attached to it that will follow the movieclip you are moving with script? For example if I have movieclip "arm" connected using a bone to movieclip "hand" and I use the script
hand.x = hand.x + 20
the arm doesn't follow the hand though like it does if I were to drag the hand in flash manually.
