• problem making animated fire

  I made a model room with a fireplace and placed a grid and newspapers in the area of the combustion chamber.  I first tried to fire with a particle system and got a pretty flame... to - that I placed in the Firebox above the newspapers.  Then it was only made in a place cut by the contour of the logs seen in the middle of the room.  It seemed even more closely under an oblique angle or behind fireplace (with the normal, directed opposite the camera room and fireplace.  I tried redirecting everything, thinking it was a normal problem, but could not make any changes to the fire in a desirable angle.

  Then I tried a texture animated on a plane and got a similar result.  The models look good, mapping normal and Max are good, but Director plane with lively texture is only visible angles weird and generally trimmed by the shaps of the models behind the aircraft.  I have a similar to animation applied texture the pendulum of a clock in the room that works very well, but so far, all my efforts to start a fire in the fireplace look pretty dismal.

  Suggestions to make this work for effects other than the application of a texture to the walls of the combustion chamber?

  The particles used in the fire using a semi transparent texture.  Will there be another semi transparent texture in your scene?  Director is struggling to determine which of two semi-transparent textures to render first of all, if there is no overlap between them (question of z-buffer).  Could be the source of your problem?

• How to use the middle part of the audio that I imported instead of having it starts to run and play?

  I tried to start making animations and I want to only use the middle part of the audio, but when I add the audio in the chassis he makes me do the beginning of the part of the audio rather than take a specific part of the audio and put it in, so my question is how can I use only a specific part of the audio without the start of the game?

  You can use actionscript (check the class sound - in particular the method of reading) to start your sound anywhere you want:

  s var:Sound=YourSoundsClass();

  s.Play (specificpartinseconds);

• Are the musical atmospheres to Audition CS5.5 really limited?

  Hello!  Here are some facts: I'm a pretty big user of After Effects and Illustrator for making animation tutorials... and a big fan of the Master Collection in general.  I write and tell scripts for the tutorials, adding short video clips and sound effects.  I have a laptop of MacbookPro with Snow Leopard. Reluctantly, I spent the money for CS5 upgrade to 5.5.  I had just learned a lot about Soundbooth and was happy with it, but I learn hearing.  I recognize also that the audio is more than a world of PC and the side hearing Mac "seems", in some respects, to be the child of the hearing step for now (I'll still have to hold down the SHIFT key when I starts the program if I want to save).  OK, I know that I am a newbie with hearing and that I am not asking to much compared to what it is oriented, so maybe I'm also completely missing out on some aspects of the central resource hearing which are at the heart of the questions that follow.  If so, just put me straight... pleeease:

  1] Soundbooth "music"beds" were musical pieces with a length to them and several sections to them, and they sounded like real songs and clips not quicky.  Hearing has a few quickies and that's it.  Is that really all?

  [2] the loops are also very limited.  Is that all there is?

  [3] there are tons of sound effects, but many are a shade of the same sound after another.  While I am glad that all of this is available, but I wonder, for example, why (and perhaps I just missed) there are many marked sound effects 'Crowd' that are so specific that they are generally is not useful, but it seems to be no cap of background noise as there will be a casino, or the theater or auditorium.  I'd trade in some of the techno sounds without end for a clip of corn popping.

  4 If the answers to questions 1 to 3 above are not something like "do x, y and z and you will find what you are looking for in the Resource Center," then why the aspects of this feature were stripped down.  Given the cost of the upgrade from 5.0 to 5.5 and giiven who with a few decent royalty free in my arsenal is very useful when I use very little music, this apparent retirement seems to pay more for less.

  [5] Finally, where power users go for you, audio clips (free and fees)?

  Thanks in advance to all! You are the best!

  Thanks Steve, I seem to have the music of the beds, which still seem very limited, already by the central resource, but certainly did not know that I had access to all of these loops.  It seems that there are a few skills to put together, but I'll try that.

• Why dimensions are not integers?

  Flex is not just around the values prior to rendering?

  The reason is that rounding should happen after the coordinates are transformed into global space of the local space of DisplayObject.  The coordinates and dimensions of DisplayObject undergo a transformation localToGlobal() to get the coordinates of the final pixel.  Rounded to a pixel in a local area is perhaps too restrictive, in particular by making animations in the context of certain transformations.  If for example the localToGlobal() dimensioning factor of 2, the ability to specify the dimensions of the increments.5 means renders the object in increments of 1 pixel on the screen.  If all the coordinates are integers only, then animate the object will result in 2 jumps of pixel on the screen which will attempt to nervousness.

• ActionScript 3 (if, else help)

  OK it's perhaps hard to explain but I'll try my best I'm going.

  I am creating a Flash CS5 game including through the use of actionscript. This game is very basic and all it consists of is a creature moving (by entries of users with the arrow keys) around the scene. The screen and the creature simulate a movement by making animations in their own separate movie clip frames that simulate the movement.

  The future goal of the game is to dodge the objects animation of the top of the screen vertically downwards.

  I created all the animations how to move the "creature" and created a frame event enter to animate the object to be dodged vertically.

  Now, here's the dillema that I want the object supposed to be dodged to reappear at the top of the screen, after its passage at the bottom. I tried an if else statement, but it doesn't seem to work someone can tell me what to do, what I have wrong or provide a code for me.

  if(dodgeobject_mc.y<400) {}

  dodgeobect.y-= 400

  }

  I hope you can understand this.

  Try:

  {if(dodgeobject_mc.y>400)}

  dodgeobect.y-= 400

  }

• A few questions about the making of the animated for a site Web Nav buttons

  Hello, I have a few questions about creating some animated for a NAV buttons.

  There are 2 actions I want to trigger on pouting above.

  If I want to use a static (PNG) image I created in Photoshop for the real button, can I use that? I want well drag the button down on the passage of the mouse and drag upward on the mouse. If I push the part of the "Web" button (sorry, that it comes from a Photoshop guy) it will disappear in the final animation? Another way to say this, if I put something lively off the coast of the white area, it no longer appears in the movie (.swf) when it is published?

  For the second part. You can see a bit of what I want to do if you look high Nav of the page of the website: http://www.photoshopsupport.com/index.html

  I need the 'light' above the button and it's going to be on another < div > color so I can't put a solid color of BG for my flash document. But I want to get the effect of the 'bar' lighting up above the button and the real key slide downwards to pouting on.

  You can provide any help would be greatly appreciated.

  We target the dynamicaly graph. Since the MouseEvent is now on the invisible sprite and not the graph itself, the one-for-all function has no reference to this graph. You can access the invisible sprite with event.target (or event.currentTarget), you can also target the chart because we declared "mygraphic" custom property to serve as a reference for the graphic. Thus, event.target.mygraphic is the benchmark for graphics.

  Of course, this is just an example. There are other variations of this trick.

• Two 'how to' questions about making flash animations.

  I am the only member of the advertising department and I need to make an announcement for my class virtual business: Uncommon Ground.

  I have a big you and a big G that come towards the screen style 3d. Once that wears off, I have a problem making the entire screen fades to black.

  Any advice?

  It's as simple as that.

  After that, I want our slogan (imagine the simplicity) appear in silver writing. So I want a shimmering light across each of the letters in a massive movement from left to right.

  Any help on these two things would be greatly appreciated, since I am so new to Flash! Only been at it since the beginning of this semester.

  Thanks in advance,

  Dillosaurus Doss

  For effect "fade to: black

  Create a black rectangle that covers the area of the entire scene. Turn it into a clip. Tween its alpha property to 0-100% compared to a number of images wanted.

  To make silver letters appear from left to right:

  Create the text exactly as you want with whatever the effects of police you need, etc. On a top layer, create a rectangle or a similar form to use as a mask for text, convert it to a clip. The form must be large enough to cover all of your text. A rectangle should do the trick. Animate the rectangle from left to right, starting with it just to the left of your text and ending with him covering your text completely. Once it is finished, right-click on the layer of the rectangle and select "hide" - this turns into a layer mask and mask the layer beneath it automatically (your text in this case). The layer mask and the masked layer must be locked in order to see the final result in the timeline (this does not apply to the file made .swf - just for viewing in the timeline).

  To animate a flickering on the text:

  Copy the layer earlier and add an effect of hue in the properties panel and make white 100% tint. Make sure this layer is on top of all your layers. Similarly to the example above of the masking text, create a rectangle, but this time, making it large enough to cover all of the text, but it make think to so that you can see only a little of it at the time. Animate the rectangle from left to right across your text, then turn it into a layer mask and don't forget to add your new white tinted text under that mask.

  You can twist things needed to here, as lower the opacity of the tint layer text, replace with overlay, etc..

  Good luck!

• Program for making gif animations

  Since Adobe ImageReady is no longer in the Creative Suite, I wonder what program choose make small, short gif animations? Specify if possible - address where to download the tutorial.

  Thank you.

  Don't know which is the best program. I do not often but when I do I use Photoshop. You set up frames and control the animation through the Animation Panel, then use save for Web in order to preserve the animation.

  You can consult the help section to help you get started.

• Making simple animated gifs plays do not?

  I draw a circle and want to bounce so I copy the State, move the circle, copy this report and move the circle again. I optimize in the properties that a Gif, set it to loop forever, and I cut the canvas. When I save the file as a .gif file, and then drag the file in my web browser, it does not play. What I am doing wrong?

  Thank you.

  It seems to work as well for me.

  Weird that it does not work for you. Have you tried to restart Fireworks?

• Making flash animation appear and disappear

  I wish that my flash ad to display when the page is loaded and after the ad runs to disappear. I see this on the weather channel before now I need the same functionality.

  This is placed in a layer flash ads. You can use the javascript function just
  as you would from level html to SHOW or HIDE the layer.

  For example, using built in Dreamweaver layers and call the flash function
  using getURL:

  getURL ("javascript:void (showLayer ('layerNameHere'))");

  Note tho, this will not work on site during the test. You need to transfer to
  Server and test it online.

• Animation bar EFFECTIVENESS/task pass, guest up to fade in

  well guys and all honor staff tech out there...
  I'm totally fed up with the delay of the taskbar previews (win7), esp when I have a whole bunch of docs to go, it goes even worse.
  I tried to adjust the time delay to 0 in the registry, but rarely seen no significant difference between the value by defect and zero... so is - anyone can understand why and find a solution?
  I hope that shows previews instantly, so I also, tried to turn off the taskbar and startmenu animation and is a quick solution, making it instantly, but I'm sure that most of the people cannot turn off coz they love animation...
  SO MY QUEST NOW IS THE FOLLOWING
  is it possible to change the low guest animation to fade? that will certainly be as fast as the animation disabled one and solve the two problems above, that I have seen and enjoyed for a long time it melted in the task bar Preview animation when I installed some sort of independent software, but does not know that since I reinstalled win7 and the animation is gone... Back to the boring invite one, what reset delay time helps nothing...
  * If anything what is described above is not a technical term, please feel free to fix it.
  THANKS a lot in advance here...

  So, you want the taskbar previews to Fade but not drag

  It's bland and default slide
  I searched for a while and I can't find any native or 3rd party tweak tools to make only bland
  Maybe you've used before was a total replacement of the taskbar

• Animation of zoom/dolly in the map of the world, the best workflow?

  Hi all, I'm animating maps for a travel agency and they want me to zoom to a vision of the world in smaller places, like Costa Rica for example. Then animate a few lines and icons on the map in 3D. I've attached a video link of a that I already have. I work with an illustrator maptorian of the world card and import the illustrator file in AE. Can I use a camera to dolly in and making all the moves. My problem is that AE runs VERY slowly when you work with such a giant illustrator file (there must be millions of vectors). I tried to work with PNG files exported, but resolutions should be too big for them not to Pixelize (200 million pixels is not enough!) and then I met the same problems of slowness.

  A second problem I have is with the shadows. because my illustrator file imports as 2800 x 1600 when I Zoom so far (although I am rastoring) my elements are only 1 pixel above the map (or at least this is the unit of measure AE uses even with the base vector files) so as you can see in the video the shadows move around annoyingly.

  Can someone advise me on a path that I could work with a low card-based pixel resolution of the whole world and then zoom in on a small card vector space, that I need to work. Or any other ideas are welcome.

  I'm using a Mac pro running 10.11.6 with 6 core and 16 GB of ram and AMD graphics cards.

  AE is 13.8.1

  Thank you

  The illustrator file is highly textured and takes too much time to calculate, you should cut your chart into segments. I made maps of the world for many years of news and documentaries, to show the world to zoom in on a country and a city. You should separate you graphic into segments. map of the world say 4000 x 4000 pixels for example. and costa rica to 4000 x 4000. now composite costa rica on your map of the world. My guess is that you have a few places to zoom in on so just make these large sizes and place them on your map. If you have a high resolution on a large file low resolution.

  For example, this card I did. I have to get all the way zoomed between the Morocco and the Spain, then completely out to part of the Middle East.

  

  So I have this model master 1605x905px

  

  You can see the limits of layers. I carefully place one above the other and resize it down. so I have a map of the area I zoom in to 1313x922px reduced to 60%. now, because I had yet another card on top of these 2 and he had to be reduced to very low values that are more difficult to place, I created a precomp with collapse and inside, there is another card to 2356x1493px 7% nationally.

  

  This way I can cover on the other and do not have too many pixels at the same time.

  Another example more complex because it contains more elements which must be organized differently to support a fine composition on both zoomed in and zoomed in on the map.

  

  same idea. This type of card is dissolved in as I crash zoom

  

  This guy a precomp with many items I can carefully place if the composition does not suit me perfectly.

  

  Fun, right?

• Having trouble making a clickable banner HTML5 ad

  Hello world

  I'm just getting started making HTML5 banner ads, so I do not know this must be a simple solution, but had trouble finding the forums so far.

  I got my ad the way I wanted to look into Animate and added some simple animations (nothing too fancy, some elements are mobile withdrew the canvas, the 'visible' button has a substitution effect). I tested in the browser, and everything works perfectly.

  Now, I want the whole canvas to be clickable, so I added a button that covers the entire canvas, and it contained in the Hit State (rectangle covering the field of advertising) and the named instance of the button. I added the snippet to HTML5 Canvas/Actions/click to go to A Web Page. I saved, tested in browser and noticed a few things:

  1. By clicking on it in the browser does not take me to a web page (found by default Adobe.com that is there, as well as what would be the real link, we would use), although by positioning the mouse over the ad, my cursor change 'gloved hand.
  2. The file is read on the loop now, whereas before I added the link to the invisible button he just played once and stopped, as I wanted.
  3. There is an 'Access of undefined property window' error message in the compiler errors Panel. Here is a screenshot of what I mean:

  

  All the solutions to this? Do you enjoy helping a beginner.

  Thank you!

  You work in ActionScript 3.  You must convert your document into HTML5 Canvas for HTML5 Canvas code snippets to work.

  • Click commands > convert different document formats to convert the document to the HTML5 Canvas document.
  • In the Type de Document Converter dialog box, select HTML5 Canvas and click Browse to select a location to save the converted FLA.
  • Click OK. The announcement is now transformed into HTML5 Canvas.

  Once you correct the type of document, for banner ads, you'll want to use a "clickTAG", not a direct link.  Do you know if the banners are going to be victims of trafficking by DCM, Adwords, Sizmek or company of different ads?  (They all unique needs "clickTAG", then how you implement that will depend on how the advertising is served).

• animate the PNG sequence in the animation on board

  Hello

  I have spent days at the Almighty Internet search and could not find what I need. I am a total newbie with the whole html5 and other emissions. I'm just a designer, but now I have to do an interactive animated chart coming in html5. Who is right for which I decided to use edge animate.

  I now have 10 different PNG sequences (about 100 images each, transparent background) and I need to turn somehow into functional animations in a large chart. I need to be able to play each animation when you click on as well as return to start second click.

  Is there a way how to make these animations to PNG sequence automatically? (Edge or FW Flash, what works best)

  I read about making a symbol animated in FW and the use of extensions to import it on board animate, but there again it seems I have to manually, drag each picture to separate the State LF...

  Anyone know? Could you give me a detailed answer pretty please?

  If your images are large, it may be to have a smooth animation. But yes. you will need to do the animation in FW and then import it into the EA with the plugin.

  If you do not want to and if the images are not too large, you could import into PS and create a spritesheet you can then import into the EA.

  Finally, you could make your animation manually, but with 100 images, it would be quite of your time.

  When your symbol is create by using any method that you have chosen, then you can access the symbol with the events timeline.
