1. I did a small SWF with motion preset.
2. Import that SWF into another FLA that has a larger stage.
3. Play back (ctrl-Enter) the FLA and the motion (translation etc.) inside the SWF is there, but the effects (blur etc.) are not honored.
I have tried to find tutorials on how to use Flash CS5 motion presets, but could not find anything in english. Can some one please point me to any? I type in text on the screen and while the text is selected, I pick smoke from the preset menue, and I got the following error... I even made the text into a symbol.
The motion contained color, filter and / or 3D properties that cannot be applied to the selected objects(s). The unsupported properties were removed.
I've been attempting to use the Motion Presets feature for a project, but the Motion Presets window does not display any folders or options. I only see the following: the motion presets tab, the further options in the upper right corner, "preview not available", the save selection as a preset button, the new folder button, the trash, and the greyed-out apply button. The file is intact and in the proper location.
View 9 RepliesIf I open the motion presets in the menu I get the window but a blank space and no list of presets, did I delete this somehow?
View 5 RepliesI saw on a website once (I wish I could remember which site it was), flash buttons that were creatively animated. The button would appear just as text, but when you hovered over it, an image would rise from behind it, then, when you moused off, the image would go back down. It did this for each of the buttons and I cannot figure out how to get that to work, especially since in CS4 with AS3 you cannot use AS on a button. It's also really difficult to add a motion preset to a button....
View 4 RepliesI put a motion preset (zoom in 3D) on a movie symbol instance. It worked great--it zoomed in well, and the instance stayed at the center of the stage for the whole animation, which is what I wanted.
I realized that I needed to change the stage size, for reasons I won't go into.I converted the stage measurement from pixels to inches, and resized it.Of course, all my graphics and instances were now off-center. In realigning and resizing everything, I discovered that my instance with the motion preset was no longer staying centered on the stage. It now travels in a right diagonal down to the bottom right corner of the stage when played. In fact, now anytime I use that particular preset on anything, in this file and in new ones, the same thing happens. It's like the preset has changed permanently on my computer and won't go back to the default.
I've tried editing the path frame by frame, but that makes a mess. I've tried using the subselection tool to edit the path, but that's imprecise and not working well.As an aside, I loaded this particular file onto another laptop here at work that has Flash Pro too. Before I opened my file on this new computer, that motion preset worked fine. Now that I've opened this file in the new computer, that preset is messed up, even when I start a new file.
lets say we want to animate an object using the 3d position its (Z position)to be exact, from keyrame 1 to keyframe 40 or so on. i put the object on keyrame 1 to 10000position and view and then its keyframe on 40 to 0 position and view,so it looks like a nice object zooming towards you as you see it.but how can we get the object to constantly spin around and around(like from the motion presets from the default:spiral 3D ) .so it seems like a coin been tossed.

View 2 RepliesI have been searching far and wide for a solution on how to offer slow motion and fast motion options for users that upload video to my webstie. There is an implementation on Google Video that has exactly what I am looking for: the option to speed up or slow down the video and continue to play the audio. The screenshot is below. I know that Flowplayer has an option to slow down or speed up video when implemented with Wowza server. However, when using that approach, there is no sound.
I have also seen the option from Enounce called MySpeed that allows video to be slowed or quickened, but this requires a browser plugin which is too much of a barrier for our users. How does Google do it? How can you add an option to a flash player to slow down or speed up video?Here is a screen shot. You can see the option to change the speed of the video to 1.5x. It also has options to go to 0.5x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, 2.0x, 2.5x, and 3.0x.
I would like to create a polygon that changes its shape (circle, trapezium, square, rectangle, triangle) based on specific buttons that the user clicks? An existing shape has to be able to morph into all the others. For instance, the trapezium has to morph to a square, circle, rectangle or triangle.
If I were to create each transition manually, I would end up with 5x4=20 scenes. Is there a way that I can just assign each shape to its own frame, and deploy actionscript to set in motion the transitions from one frame to the 4 other possible frames? I am very grateful to anyone to just point me in the right direction,
I had this posted in another post I had which was answered and it also had a lame post name so I have reposted it here I can not figure out why my code here is not working.... (i guess that's pretty obvious or I would not be posting it!).

View 5 RepliesIn Flash CS4, I've got a project that's working with a lot of XML. Previously, it's all been working fine, but recently I'm getting warnings like this when trying to compile:
Warning: 3594: toXMLString is not a recognized method of the dynamic class XML.
Warning: 3594: appendChild is not a recognized method of the dynamic class XML.
The lines of code that these errors refer to are:
stream.writeUTFBytes(currentXML.toXMLString());
and
currentXML.appendChild(marker.getXML());
"stream" is a FileStream object and "currentXML" is an XML object. "marker" is an instance of my own class, which I have imported, but I'm pretty sure that's not related.As I've said it's only happening now. I don't see anything in my code that could have changed it. Even if I turn the changes into comments, I still get errors.In addition to these two I am also getting other warnings, although all of them concern a method "not being recognized" in the XML class.I am using Flash Pro CS4 and am coding on the first frame of the timeline, as opposed to in a Document Class. Oh, and I'm making an AIR app, not a Flash Player one.
so i have this code for a video player i'm using

I'm using Flash CS4, and using ANY method for capturing keypresses, only some keypresses are recognized. Backspace, Enter, and all of the letters on the keyboard do not trigger anything for me. Even using code as simple as...
on(keyPress "<Enter>"){
trace("pressed enter");
}
...doesn't work at all, while code like....
on(keyPress "<Space>"){
trace("pressed space");
}
...works perfectly. And no, caps lock isn't on.

I'm trying to have action script recognize a text field without me having to give it an instance name. All is fine at first because i wrote custom errors to show if Flash doesnt find a text field on the stage, and no errors come up. I know that my errors work because when I remove the text field from the stage all the errors appear. The problem arises when I try to manipulate the text field through AS that I right on the main timeline. When I do then I get that old 1119 undefined property error.
Here's my code.
package com.nate.ui {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.text.TextField;
public class TextArea extends Sprite {

And here is just my trace (on the timeline) that throws up the 1119 error.
trace(ta.textField);
I wanted to use Cs4 to edit a flash template but noticed it kept saying I did not have tahoma font installed. I checked the font folder and I did have the font installed on the system but nevertheless I reinstalled it which did not fix the problem so I manually mapped/substituted it to the Tahoma I had on my system but noticed the fonts still appeared off when I published. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software and it still occurs.

I'm trying to make a game like Mario. I've made a character which can jump right now, but I've got some problems with collision detection.
I would like my character to jump on a bar, which is placed higher. My collision detection doesn't work at all I gues..I've made a cirle which has a instance name mcMain and I've made a MovieClip of it. T also made a rectangle which has a instance name balkje, I also made aMovieClip of it.
I hope you can tell me what is wrong about my code and what I've to change to make the collision detection work!

I have 2 movieclips on stage; one called 'myMarker_mc', the other called 'myMarker_mcOne') - they both contain 4 children (bt_up, bt_dn, bt_remove ) and myText (a textfield) and they only work properly when it is the 'myMarker_mc' that is being called (called from the xml at the top of the file).
Code:
stop();
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;

When myMarker_mcOne is called the dynamic textfield, called 'myText' produces a blank and the output box pops up with...

I've created a button with a rollover state and everything. Popped it on the stage and gave it an instance name of "myBtn_btn".
on root i wrote this:
myBtn_btn.onRelease = function(){
trace("hello world");
}
but nothing happens. I have many other buttons. all do different things and work find. everything has a different instance name. no linkage is the same. I've double checked and triple checked that the name is "myBtn_btn" in the function AND the button. I've even tried recreating a different button with different names and still nothing. It's like I can't make any more button actions.
I have this code working on a button.

Works great, but there's obviously no path recognized when loading this swf with the button on it, to an empty movie clip on another swf. (ie: _root.container.bio ...)
