• Interpolation of shape with text - first image will not play?

  Hello

  I am attemping to shape tween text. (Flash CS5.5)

  What I do is:

  Create frame at frame 1

  Insert text

  Insert keyframes at two different locations on any time line

  Change the last image of what I want that he turn INTO

  Break all the keyframes

  and insert the shape tween between first and second and second and third keyframes.

  When I go to play the movie, it flashes the text that is in the last picture ONLY. What I am doing wrong? Ive tried everything, this is driving me crazy!

  Thanks for any help you can offer!

  When you use the interpolation of shape in the timeline panel, that it must involve drawn elements raw, so all the I can thik is that you have not break me the text down far enough.  Can you show a screenshot of your timeline and what you provide is the text that you broke aoart?

• Simple solution? Shape tween

  Hi, I was wondering if someone could help. I created a shape tween text has been breaking twice. I wanted to just text to disappear, so I made the text go 100% alpha alpha to 0% and then made the shape tween. It does this, but also some letters in the text warp. Anyone know why that would happen.
  
  Thanks for any help.

  You should not use this shape tween. Shape tweens are interpolation from one form to another
  (in general).
  Want to turn your text field in a symbol and then motion tween. In this way the text remains
  editable inside of the symbol and it will result in a smaller file size.

  Motion tween is what you want.

• Shape tween

  Hello.
  
  I have a video file uncompressed with an alpha channel. I would like to turn into a Word, that I would write in flash. Is this possible? I went through the tutorials and he says this shape tween is possible between two rough drawings, but is there a way around this rule?
  
  Thank you.

  no idea about the morphing programs - make sure it can produce a sequence of images or something that
  This will allow you to import your video or flash.

  Break apart text using the function to break apart (ctrl + B) twice until the gross forms.

• Flash CS4 does not shape tween

  I want to make a shape tween where a small amount of text increases in size. I followed a tutorial, and I did what he told me: I put the start of the first image text, create a blank Keyframe at the end where I put the text bigger, I then use the selection tool to click right on the two objects to text in the video clip, and select separate what I do twice and then I should be able to create a correct shape tween... but when I Click on a free random and either right-click or go to insert, shape tween is grayed out. How is it? I also tried other interpolations, but they do nothing.

  If you follow these instructions, you should get a classic Tween to work...

  Add a keyframe to the layer where you want the Tween to start.  Place the graphic symbol in this context.  Right click on the image where you want the Tween to the end, then select Insert image.  You should now have the same graphic symbol in the two keyframes.  Change the size of the instance in the last picture.  Click with the right button on the first image, and then select Create a classic Tween.

  That should do it.  If this has been done correctly then the interpolation executives should turn blue and an arrow should extend from the beginning to the end.  The key is to make sure to have the exact same symbol at the two ends of the interpolation... different symbols will not work.

• Too jerky Tween text

  What can I do to smooth out the jerks of my text of interpolation? The real textFields are already all on 'anti-aliasing shape animation. But they may not behave as well as they could be. I tried to incorporate the police etc...

• Why can't I save a shape tween in Flash CS4?

  I use Flash CS4 on a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.1.

  I added two motion tweens on two layers in my main script. The SWF file tests very well. Everything is good.

  I close the document.

  I opened it new forms of tween no longer exist and there are only regular frames between the transitional forms in their respective keys.

  I have already added shape hints, and they are completely restored when I convert middle managers of the shape tweens.

  Export to SWF format after that restore the motion tweens works very well.

  Closing, then opening the FLA generates always the motion tweens back to regular frames.

  Export a SWF in the newly opened document only shows no shape tween, as he left the main timeline.

  Is this a bug or I do something wrong?

  If additional information is needed, I can provide.

  SWF working correctly:

  http://qreativ.com/clientproject/ipn0452/

  Hello

  The executives in question are those that have been highlighted on the "morph J' and 'K morph' layers, correct?

  With motion tweens and classic tweens are not supported on tween layers. They cannot be created on these layers, and if they are dragged or pasted there, they will turn static (a cancellation is necessary at your choice).

  If my guess is that it may have been done before the backup, because I can't imagine how that would have occurred between saving and reopening. The solution would be to put these two motion tweens on their own layers (which is still recommended practice) and see if that fixes things.

  Hope that helps,

  Jen.

• Possible to animate primitive (Oval) w / shape tween?

  I am able to animate an oval primitive with a shape tween, but it applies to the shape tween as if the primitive oval was a normal oval - then the "start angle" gets twisted and morphs like a blob, rather than keeping the original shape of the pie.

  Is there a way to animate the primitives in Flash regarding their properties Primitives?

  Separate the primitive at each end of the Tween to turn them into regular shapes, and then use shape hints.

• Where to report bugs? Shape tween "Build Sprite sheet" online with different widths

  Hello

  Current solution: "convert to Animation frame by frame.

  How to reproduce the problem:

  Draw a line with the tool "Feather".

  Use the "width" tool to change the width of the line in a few places

  Chronology of the measure

  create key frame with a point on the line moved

  create a 'form' between these keyframes interpolation

  'Generate the Sprite sheet.

  All "Shape Tween" executives do not respect changes in line width

  Don't know how long it would take to fix. Here would be the place to report the problem:

• Fill the shape with text

  Whether you have a shape, a triangle and you want to write text inside, if the pile of words on top of each other like a pyramid. Who would you do? When you use the text tool, you can drag a text box, but I want a triangle of text, or a star or another strange form. How to fill a shape with text?

  Why?

  I do not mean to be a five-year-old; I'm asking because there may be a way to get the desired result in a different way.

  For example, if you are wanting to use animations of text, John Dickinson explained how to do this:

  'Export' your Illustrator file in Photoshop (.psd) format.

  Then open the .psd in After Effect in the form of Composition

  Select the text layer and choose layer > convert to editable text.

• Can someone help me stop my fps slowdown during my shape tween please! ???

  IM creating an animated logo that shape tweens between the 3 different images, however during the second transition my pace slows down to about half of the rate, anyway to stop this?

  Probably that's because your shape tween is too complicated and interpolation from one key to another produces far too many vectors for your CPU and graphics card to manage. Sometimes made in a clip will get rid of it and it will play fine (if it is not a fall that rendered while). If your result is a swf file, however, you will probably have to simplify the logo or what you're trying to accomplish with the interpolation to keep pace.

  Can you put the file?

• Stop rotation by shape tween

  Hello

  I did a rectangle in cs6 actionscript 2.0

  Now, I want to do a Liquified form, which continues to move. So plan to do, is to make key images and then edit the shape with the envelope tool or the pen tool. And between the keyframes that I want to use the shape tween to make a smooth transition. Problem is that when the shape is then modified, it automatically turns 90 degrees. I just want to change the shape of the next keyframe, not doing a rotation.

  If there are other better ways to do this, please free feel sharing advice!

  Thank you very much!

• Animate a water wave using shape tween

  I have Flash Professional CC and I followed a tutorial from lynda.com on how animate a wave using the shape tween. Yet my wave does not move. Can someone tell me what I did wrong by looking at the file? If yes how can I add a file?

  More funny. I went through the steps AGAIN for a 5th time for I can document and get the screenshots of the process as you mentioned and it worked this time. I have no idea what I did differently this time, but it's working now. Thank you for your comments. Have a great day!

• Problem with the shape tween

  Good day everyone, I have some problems with the shape tween and I need your help and your explanations. The links below: first link is an example of how this drawing must be animated, and the second is my attempt failed. So, why these traits change their shape this way, not as in the first link? Is there a possible way to fix it? I tried to add a few shapehints, but flash has not understood what I wanted to do, boards are simply were red.

• Puzzled to vectorial shape tween

  I'm doing a simple animation using a vector graphic that I imported to Flash after have created you in Illustrator. What I want to do is to stretch the picture and have the original form develop into a shape lying, by adjusting the vectors to stretch the form. So far, I got this all inclusive (I have barely any experience with Flash). I break the graph until it allows me to make a shape tween. But when I go to test the movie, he does this weird thing where the inside of the letter (it's a word that I'm animating) shrinks and moves out of the way for the Interior that matches the stretched warp? Alternatively, the letters begin to trade places? I'm very confused by this because I have no idea what I did to ask him to do this. How do I just get this animation to do simply?

  Any help is very appreciated.

  Thank you

  1. distribute each separate part of the form to its own layer (right-click on the form > distribute to layers).

  2. interpolation of each layer.

  3. use shape hints (modify > shape > add shape hints).
