Poor Gradients to Flash

Hello

I am a composition in AE CS4 in multiple formats. In the composition, we have a (transparent background) layer which is a shadow (gray summary). When we go to QuickTime shadow looks great. When return us the same composition to Flash all the subtleties in the shadows are lost. Lighter shadows are missing. If I rush to the top of the shade shadow becomes all the lighter areas have disappeared.

We tried a few different options with the shadow using a Photoshop file with a transparent layer with shadow on it as well as to try a transparent PNG file. Although both formats produce slightly different results, the problem remains the same, the gradient is virtually lost.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated woulkd.

Kind regards

Bob

I'm glad it worked!

(However, the culprit was that the background color has not used for matting of color in premultiplied alpha).

SOUL as a stand-alone application is a more practical solution in any case, because it gives access to more advanced features of coding like 2-pass with Variable Bit Rate, etc..

    Thank you

    Well, it's really easy today to download the flash player to your browser. Easy and fast. If many of these computers do not have the flash plugin, it's something to consider. Maybe you should give up just flash for now? The only solution I see is to simply provide the standard for flash download option, if the flash player is not present. If flash player is not detected, or code examples below will bring up the option to install the flash player.

    Here is the embed code, you will get this code (or something similar, depending on what version you use) when you publish your flash and export of page html file. You can change which files are published in your publishing settings.

    Code for Flash 9 (CS3) - This includes the required use of the javascript file that will be exported using the HTML if the publication option.

  • Satellite C660D webcam very poor quality

    Hello

    I bought my laptop 2 weeks ago and have only begun to use my webcam today.
    It is of very poor quality and flashes.
    What happens during the day in a good light as well when it's dark outside with light.

    My os is windows7 x 64.
    Yes, the plastic film is out of the front of it, I checked.
    I reinstalled the driver twice and is still the same poor quality.
    I restarted the process in both Device Manager.

    Please help I can't think of anything I can do.

    I put t know which model of laptop you have, but Satellite C660D has generally not HD cam but 0.3 M Pixcel camera only. And with this cam, you can't expect excellent image.

    There is nothing you can do. If the cam is installed properly, you can just try change the settings of the cam in the hope that the image will be a little better.
    When I compare 0, 3 m pixcel cam on old L300 and now 1.0 M (HD) Pxcel camera into my new P500 the difference is simply huge.

  • So I need a little help with the Flash colors

    I always use the red, green and blue gradient colors Flash below for metal stuff, but how do I get the effect of this red color in different colors like yellow?color.png

    If you want to use predefined gradients, what you could do is the first color any field you want with one of them, and then select the fill and use the color Panel to replace the Red some other color you prefer.   If you have never worked with the degraded section of the color Panel, you will be probably it find a bettter tool to create and fine-tune transitions.

    You just doubleclick, this little red square in the lower left and it opens a color sample as you have demonstrated to select another color

  • Firefox slow to react

    Hello

    My OS is Windows Vista and I used Firefox for several years with virtually no problems, but in recent months, from 14 of Firefox (or 13?), it is now very, very slow.
    I use ADSL (broadband) connection with a speed of 6-8 Mbps and the response time for Firefox is now around 120ms and receiver speed approximately 0.6Mbit / s. sending is normal, however, with about 0.89Mbit / s. I also Netscape Navigator 9 and Explorer, and they are always fast, 7Mbit/s and 0.89Mbit / s (receive and send) and a response time of about 15ms.
    What I did to solve the problem? That's what I tried:

    -Search of viruses and Trojan horses
    -Safe mode.
    -No add-on.
    -No plugins.
    -Without bookmarks.
    -Deleted the cache and history.
    -Update of the modules and plugins.
    -Close antivirus and firewall.
    -Reinstalled with the Firefox button in the Help menu.
    -Do a complete reinstallation after you remove all profile etc.
    -Changed DNS servers.
    -J' tried everything: config and change the values

    Yesterday I installed Comodo IceDragon, which is almost identical to 15 of Firefox, and suddenly, the speed has been 7/0.89Mbit/s but, alas, only once for the Dragon and once for Firefox. Then back to normal 0.6/0.89Mbit/s.
    Is there something more I can do? Ways to keep in mind that Netscape and explore work perfectly and I do not receive the error messages.

    Thanks in advance!

    Poor performance in Flash-based speed tests may be related to conflicts of the add-on and some features of Flash. If you have not already tried these:

    (1) disable protected mode (Win Vista and Win 7 only)

    See this article from Adobe support under the heading of 'Last resort': Adobe Forums: how to fix protected Flash Player for Firefox mode?

    (2) disable graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox and Flash

    (A) in Firefox, uncheck the box here and restart:

    Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Options > advanced > General > "use hardware acceleration when available.

    (B) in Flash, see this article from Adobe technical support: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues

    (3) for graphics problems, make sure your RealNetworks modules are the latest versions

  • Satellite M30X - fuzzy, blurry images

    I have a big problem with all the JPEGs and gif in Web browser (IE, Opera, Firefox etc.). I don't completely understand what is happening. All images, Office looks good and normal, but when I start to use the internet browser, images (JPEG, gif) on fuzzy search and terrible-very poor quality websites (FLASH animations is ok). I reinstalled my XP four times, updated everything I could. At first I thought that the cause is java or a plugin, but now I don't really know what to do. Same BIOS update did not help. Now, I use Windows 2003 and I still have this problem. My graphics card is ATI Radeon. In the past I had very similar problem, but I fixed it by reinstalling Opera Browser. I really need help. Sorry for the language, I hope someone will understand what I wrote.

    Hello

    Never heard of this kind of problem. If the images JPEG or gif is not downloaded completely sometimes images are blurred and incomplete. I'm confused about that because you have this problem with a maximum of different browsers.

    Also try changing the screen resolution. Your device should work with 1280 x 800 pixels.

  • Interactive movie controls

    Hello

    Sorry if this question one ridiculous, or not appropriate for first. I'm creating a presentation for my business, a research company. I built one in Flash, which was very good, but a little fidly because the presentation was very long (about 10 minutes) and with a huge amount of layers. I found the quality poor image on Flash, and PowerPoint is out of the question I want to build on first. I used before creation, not very well known, but I get.

    I really don't want to have a film that plays just by itself without intervention. Is there a way to add controls for film, as in the first section of the overview works, then stop until the user clicks on a button (such as an interactive PDF) and if so someone can point me in the right direction on how to use them?

    Sorry if this is obvious.

    Thank you

  • need help with a degraded more than mask images XML

    I have a file which works fine by pulling images via XML data. I want to create a mask gradient using flash CS3, but I can't seem to get any sort of mask (solid or degraded) reacts with XML driven images.

    Download my FLA and other work files 845 kb

    Ah ok that explains why - you must set to export to the 8 player to use gradient masks. And you need to cache as bitmap to true so that the image also like:

    maskMC.cacheAsBitmap = true;
    imageMC.cacheAsBitmap = true;
    imageMC.setMask (maskMC);
    Stop();

  • Gradient bevel filter works do not properly in a Flash swc

    Hello

    I have a CFC that is used by a project AS Flash Builder. When I export the swc from Flash Pro, I can see the filter works correctly in the priview Flash Pro opens automatically. But when the CFC is loaded through Flash Builder and the CFC, the gradient bevel enjoy shows the first color in the gradient in green, and looks like missing the first half of the gradient. It is green with a change of law to the next color, no gradient. What happens to all the objects that use this filter in the swc.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers.

    It is a tribute a bug in Flash Builder 4.7:)

  • Firefox opens the flash of good size and poor quality content.

    I have fixed the content flash (virtual tour) in size 800 x 600. There is a script that opens the content in a new window, but Mozilla opens just a cropped part of it. Even after optimizing content, flash remains always cropped. There is also a problem with the images within the content because they are played in low quality. Other browsers do not have this problem and also screens with higher resolution (desktop computers) display properly on Mozilla.
    Any suggestions?

    This could happen if your zoom level for the site is reduced from the default value. The reason is that Firefox uses the zoom level to enlarge or reduce the space for the Flash, but Flash itself content has a fixed size and is not larger or smaller to fill the space.

    I'm not a Flash developer, so it may be nothing, but what happens if you comment this setting:

    so.addParam("scale", "noscale");
    

    I assumed that the risk that the scale may be hideous...
