Flash Brush tool grayed out?

Hey, for one reason or another, my brush tool only allows me to select color and smoothing. Stroke, style, scale, and everything else is grayed out and will not let me change it. It is very frustrating, and I'd gladly accept some help.
Thanks in advance,
Trevor

Hi Trevor,
Stroke, style, scale, and everything else is grayed out because Flash has its own default brush sizes and brush shape. You can access these in the tools panel. While the brush tool is selected in the tools panel, look toward the bottom of the panel and you will see several different brush modifiers such as Brush Mode, Brush Size, and Brush Shape.
You can find more information on the brush tool here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/WS9C02226F-F77F-4723-8874-210FE38898C4.html#WSd 60f23110762d6b883b18f10cb1fe1af6-7e77a.
Thanks,

  • Out of Bounds effect has all but the frames tool grayed out?

    What do I do when the Out of Bounds effect has all but the frames tool grayed out?

    Hi 123fay,
    To use Selection tool in 'Out of Bounds' guided, you need to click on Selection Tool tab in order to select it. It will turn dark grey (symbol of selection) on selection. Now you will be able to select. Please try again and let me know if this solves the problem.
    Thanks,

  • CS5 Flash Brush Tool and Stage Issue

    http://oi44.tinypic.com/fooozl.jpg
    I have two issues while using CS5 Flash right now and it's driving me crazy.
    For the first issue. (Number 1)
    How do I make it so that the dots do not appear after I draw something with the brush? Whenever I draw something with the brush and select it with the mouse, it goes into a, "Dot" image that is shown in the image. This should not happen. I remember there was a setting that made it so that all objects drawn by the brush are completely solid when you select it with the mouse tool. Which setting is this?
    For the second issue, (Number 2)
    How do I expand the overall working stage that I use within my image? Whenever I click and drag and object to the right, it gives me a bit more room to see the overall object when I zoom out.  But than it stops. How do I make the overall stage larger so I can see all of my objects that I have?
    Please, someone help me out here.
    Thank-You.

    select the brush tool.  in the properties panel is a smoothing parameter that you can adjust from 0 to 100.  try 0 and see if that's what you want.

  • Page Editing Tools Grayed Out

    I have a PDF with no secuirty restrictiosn for editing, etc.  I am trying to crop and rotatate the document in Acrobat Pro X, and these tools are "grayed" out.  Why are they grayed out?

    Then that is the answer to your question. You asked these tools are "grayed" out.  Why are they grayed out? . The answer is in the box: "The file you have opened complies with the PDF/A standard and has been opened as read-only to prevent modification. .
    PDF/A files, while they are not formally secured (AND cannot be secured) are considered final, so editing of them is locked out. I think you can turn this off in preferences, but be sure you understand the implications on the PDF/A status.

  • Why are the CROP and RED EYE TOOLS grayed out?

    My sister, who is new to iPhoto, can't crop her photos because, she says, the crop tool icon is grayed out. She's using iPhoto 4, v. 4.0.3.
    She lives in another state, so when I come up with a solution or solutions, I can try to talk through it on the phone - each of us on our computers.
    It was suggested by someone on another forum that the com.apple.iphoto.plist file in her Preferences folder in her library might be corrupted and that deleting that file & then relaunching iPhoto could solve it.
    I talked my sister through deleting the file & relaunching iPhoto but it didn't do the trick. When she selects a photo and clicks on Edit, both the Red Eye AND the Crop tools are grayed out.

    It's been awhile since I used that level of iPhoto but I believe that you have to select an area on the photo before you can use either of these two tools. For crop simply select the desired area and for red-eye select a small area around the eyes.

  • 5.0 LE Crop tool grayed out in Windows XP???

    I've been using Photoshop 5.0 LE for many years on a Windows 98SE system. I recently installed it on my Windows XP system and it works great - except that the crop tool is grayed out - meaning I can't use it.  It doesn't matter if I open a new project or open an existing image.  It's still grayed out.  Is this a known issue?  Is there a patch to fix this?

    You may get an answer but that version is pretty ancient.
    You could try running the application in compatibility mode by right-clicking on the .exe file and under Properties > Compatibility pick an earlier OS.

  • Why is stabilization & cutting tool grayed out for all movies in library?

    Hi,
    I made a strange observation in iMovie11 on Maverick. Since a couple of days all items can't be cuted and stabilized any more. The two tools are grayed
    out and won't show again if I import any more new content. Does not depend on the type of file is AVCHD form video camera or simply an Iphone video file.
    All the other tools behave as normal. When I switch user I see the same problem.

    Guys, any idea?

  • PSD file, one word of text... warp tool grayed out

    I have to warp one word of text to fit inside a banner.
    I made a PSD file and when I click on the type tool the 'warp' icon is unavailable/grayed out.  I need to do this and do not understand why it's not working when I've done this a hundred times.
    I'm working on a logo and this is holding me up.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    It's interesting that there are instructions on how to do this or that, but NEVER what to do or look for when it doesn't work.
    Thanks!

    The type's transparent background indicates you rasterized the type. Warp in the Type options bar requires your original (vector) version.
    If you want to warp rasterized text, choose Edit  > Transform >  Warp

  • Why is cropping tool grayed out?

    I use the latest Aperture 3.3.2. Got a picture ready to crop but cropping tool is grayed out? Anyone know why? The image is online and lets me print.
    Thanks
    Jerry

    The only way I can make the crop tool greyed out is by taking the original image flles offline or by not selecting any image at all:
    Are you sure, that you had the image selected and it is online, when you tried to crop? "Print" is not greyed out for offline originals, but it will not actually let you print
    But if your image is online, and you have selected it, and you still cannot crop, your User preferences may be corrupted; then try to quit Aperture, log off and on again (to ensure Aperture really quits), and move the User Preferences (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist) from the user library to the Desktop - see the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics on how to do this.
    If this does not help, try the other trouble shooting measure from this document, unless you tried that already.

  • How to remove bit Defender Anti-Phishing Toolbar 2.0, tools grayed out.

    I have tried to remove Bit Defender Anti=Phishing Toolbar 2.0 from the Tools menu but the removal button is grayed out. Is there a way to remove it manually? I no longer use Bit Defender, it is removed from my computer. I am using Firefox 3.6.11. I am using Windows XP Home Edition.

    Do you still have a BitDefender directory in program folders, usual location is C:\Program Files\BitDefender\
    If the directory still exists, the uninstall did not complete fully. BitDefender recommend downloading the uninstaller and running it again. You can get the uninstaller from http://www.bitdefender.com/uninstall
    If that does not work, you can try manually removing the toolbar. Do you have a folder called C:\Program Files\BitDefender\BitDefender 2009\FFToolbar
    The "BitDefender 2009" part will vary depending on the version of BitDefender installed. If that still exists try deleting the contents of the FFToolbar folder.
    BitDefender is likely to have added an entry to the Windows Registry, if you are happy with editing the registry you can remove the entry, for details see the "Windows registry extension" section of http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_add-ons
    '''Warning: Only edit the registry if you know what you are doing, making an error in the registry can cause serious problems with Windows, it may even prevent Windows from starting.'''

  • Probe tool grayed out in TCP examples

    Hello,
    as I'm currently playing around with the "TCP communicator - Active.vi" examples I noticed, that there is no probe function available. Is this normal behaviour?
    Best regards,

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Individual VIs can be set to diable debugging (File->VI Properties->Execution). By disabling debugging, memory is conserved and performance improves slightly.
    The TCP libraries from NI are considered tested and should not require debugging. They VI you are looking at may have this flag set to improve performance.
