I wonder if any body could help me. I am currently working on a flash presentation which will be running on a 40" Plasma Screen. What's the perfect size to set up my flash file. At the moment my file is 800 x 600 pixels. I only have one .jepg image at the intro and the rest of the presentation is vector based.
View 1 RepliesIn fact, I make flash CD presentation in Adobe Flash CS5 AS2 (with minimal use of ActionScript). I need to load flash image gallery that I already have created, in new presentation file. Gallery was created in Flash Slideshow maker and as products I have. Swf,. XML and folders with thumbnails and picture (no. Fla file). The concept of the presentation (as root is concerned) should look like in uploaded picture "izgled otvorenog cd-a". In each of the folder on cd presentation (as on picture) is a Flash presentation controlled by their xml file whose name I must not change.
Exe file "Prezentacija 2011" is a presentation (Flash Projector) that I try to make. In the same presentation I create frames and for each of the frames added action:
loadMovie ("02_Kapije/kapije.swf", "kapije_ucitavanje");
kapije_ucitavanje._x = 23; kapije_ucitavanje._y = 167; stop ();
(Of course, for each item varies loadMovie root and instance name).
The problem is that presentations can't find xml file, apparently because they do not have the appropriate root. When all the files of the one gallery set in the same folder with the "Presentation 2011.exe" file, everything works normally (however, as I said, I cannot change the name of Xml file and that disturb the concept of my CD presentation). How can I drive loaded swf file from the above script to use Xml file in its folder? Here is my root foldersand link for presentation files : [URL].
I feel this could be pretty basic for you guys. Here's the deal: I need an external swf to check a var's value and decide how to animate. If value == "something" then animate in like this, else, animate in like that. Now, a file is loaded with LoadManager class, and a function from this class sends a string to the loaded swf, and based on that string it animates out. I've tried to make the same function set a public var's value inside the LoadMangaer class, but i can't acces it from the external swf.
It will probably make sence when you look at the fla and the LoadManager class, so here's the attachment.Hope you can help, I've been dwelling on this for ages. Tnx a million.
Is there a way to adjust the rasterising of a vector based displayobject?
my problem is this: I create a textfield for example, and after moving it to z = -400 the whole text will look horrible (just like a low quality jpeg or so) as it comes closer to the viewport. I already know the vector shapes gets rasterized as soon the z value is set but there should be at least a way how it is done!?
I'm looking for a way to take SVG path info (basically a string of coordinates) and dynamically draw it with Actionscript. Icing on the cake would be if those shapes could detect mouse events to trigger JS and dynamically change their appearance (fill, stroke, etc...).
I'm currently trying something similar to this ([URL]) using SVG but it's just too slow in IE. I've also tried Google's SVG Web ([URL]) which basically does exactly what I'm looking for (it converts SVG to Flash in IE) but again, it's sloooooow - which is why I'm considering doing the whole shebang in Flash.
What I want is to sort a Vector array of objects(not primitive), based on a propery(Number). (think character.zDepth). Generally the same thing as the sortOn function of Arrays, except that we don't have that for Vectors.
like myArray.sortOn(x, Array.NUMERIC)

I have a function that loads a room and when I load the room I have progress bar that displays with the percentage downloaded. The percentage text seems to be resetting with each load of an image but not the progress bar. How do I reset my progress bar?

function addRoom(event:MouseEvent):void {

View 2 RepliesIf I have an FLV that I've output as SWF with skin to have embedded into an HTML page, and now a 'skip intro' is needed - though I'd have to make note of the actual time or keyframe in which the intro completes...How is this possible? Clearly, a button would need to be added for that kind of interactivity?
View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip that I imported into flash, used a skin and have a nice little player for this website intro. I want to proceed to the sites home page upon completion of the movie. Searched but the best I could come up with was;
player.addEventListener("complete",function (event:Object) { trace("doneVideo");new URLRequest("my link");});
I want the page to be drawn as in intro animation. For example the screen is blank at first and then the image is drawn from the outside in a thin line until the whole page is drawn and then fade the lines into the actual design.
View 5 RepliesI have used this slideshow for few projects and all I've done in the past is import new images (about 100k) and publish. The image are bit map of type (png) not big about 100k size.
Without saving the file I do a "test movie". Instead of doing the slideshow it displays the first image but doesn't loop through the rest.
I'm at a bit at a lost here. The path to the image in bitmap properties on the origanal file in imported is relative but when I select a new image its full path.
I have made a webpage that scales to the size of the users screen. Now i'm having to following problem. There is a image gallery in this website that makes use of an XML file. Everytime when the website is scaled to a bigger size the image gets unsharp. This only happens to the external image that is displayed in the gallery since the flash elements are all vectors.I was already thinking about a higher DPI rate or using different images.

How do I make a vector image smaller in file size than a jpg image? This sounds perhaps strange since vector in general is expected to be smaller in file size then pixel.
But take this image for example:
I can get this to about 8 kb if I were to use 'save for web' in photoshop (jpg / low compression). But then I thought I perhaps could get it even smaller by vectorizing it. But that resulted in an image of about 145 kb. Is vector not always better than pixel when it comes to file size?
I have two illustrator vector images "apple.ai" and "orange.ai" imported in the library. I create a new sprite in actionscript and want to assign apple.ai as the graphic for the sprite and on mouseover want to change the graphic to orange.ai. I don't want to use button but only sprite: basically i want to know if there is a way in actionscript to assign and change the graphic of a sprite.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering what the best way of importing a generated swf file into illustrator is, so i can mess around with the elements, add in backgrounds etc
View 5 RepliesI am attempting to adapt a face detection application for a project I am working on. It works great, and displays a sprite of a vector square where it detects a face. The problem I am having is that I would like to place a bitmap image (from a source file) instead of a vector square. Here is the snippet containing the drawing of the vector:
Actionscript Code:
/*** Creates a rectangle*/
private function _createRect() : Sprite {
var rectContainer : Sprite = new Sprite();
rectContainer.graphics.lineStyle( 20 , __rectColor , 1 );
rectContainer.graphics.beginFill(0x000000,0);
rectContainer.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
return rectContainer;
}
I'm pretty sure that this is the only part that needs altering in order to swap the square with a bitmap though.
Specific to Flash Professional CS5. With its export options greatly reduced, there seems to be no way to make Flash graphics accessible by other programs. Is there any workaround?Currently, Flash can output two kinds of vector images: SWF and FXG, neither of which seem to be importable by most applications, including Fireworks and Illustrator (which write to FXG but not read from it), and Catalyst doesn't seem to write to anything other than what Builder uses. In other words, I know no way to export Flash files to vector formats (besides using Flash CS4).
View 2 RepliesI have displayobject with vector and image data And I am trying to scale it in order to get big jpeg out of it with JPGEncoder.The thing is that once I am resample it using the Bitmap class (Matrix) and with draw method it's getting pixelated.How can I take a container with vector graphic and bitmap image and rescale it to bitmapdata without getting things pixled.This is the displayobject:The image in the center is high resolution image which I resize and all the other elements are vector graphic.Since the image is high resolution and all the other elements are vectors if I just call the scaleX property of the displayobkect it increase the contenier size and it all looks very good. But if I want to take a bitmap data out of it it's look terrible, The fonts getting pixelated and even the photo.I will like to know it there is a way to do it without getting things pixelated.

View 11 RepliesAs you can see when the bird flies across the screen it leaves part of it at the end, then clouds and the wolf do the same thing.This is all vector based artwork. It doesn't make sense becuase the simple images or complex images both leave a portion behind when rendering.The video plays perfectly in Flash. I tried importing it into iMovie and the same problem occurs.I don't even know what this is called so I can't seem to find any support on the issue

Say I have an image. We'll call it "vectorman". It is a liner gardient in flash that has say "f5f5f5" as the top color and a gradient down to "ff9900". I then turn "vectorman" into a graphic, then into a movie. Now he sits on the main stage with the same colors all the time... poor vectorman. I would like the ability to control those 2 colors of vectorman via an XML file.
I know XML can control css and dynamic text fields, but how do I control the color of an graphic?
