3D Tween is Blurry

Hi all,
I'm using 3D tweens for animations on my site. Problem is, that at the end of the tween, the image quality of the movieclip I'm tweening is pretty bad. For example, I have seom text in the movie clip that I'm tweening, and it's kind of blurry. I know 3D tweens live convert everything in the movieclip into a bitmap, and I'm assuming that's what's causing the poor quality. Is there a way to convert the movieclip back to it's original state where it looks crisp at the end of the tween? Or bump up the quality of the 3D tween?
Thanks!

Finally found the solution!
Apparently, anytime you change the z axis of the movieClip, it is transformed into a live bitmap to be animated. This is why the moieClip can look a little blurry.
movieClip.transform.matrix3D = null;
If you just add the above code to the frame that the tween completes on (aka, it's no longer moving), the 3D tween will release its grip on the movieClip, undo the bitmap status, and effectively restore the clarity of the movieClip without removing your desired tween.
Thanks so much for the help!
P.S. the blur filter was not on.

3d motion tween load problem

Hey all,
I'm having a problem which has made me struggling for two days. I hope i can get some new ideas for my problem here.
I created a fla which includes several 3d motion tween in CS5.5, when it's compiled it works perfect. But when i try to load this swf into my main project, images get blurry and distorted. Below is the screenshot of the situation. The first one is the correct one, and second one is loaded into main project. I read that scaling 3d tweens might cause such problems and tried to fix it by two solutions. As first, i tried to retransform the tween by: myContainer.transform.matrix = new Matrix(); but didn't work out. As second, i tried to rescale the stage which mentioned as a solution is some blogs.
And i don't know if it is some kind of bug as mentioned here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2258767
I'd really be glad if i can get some ideas, thanks all.

anyone?

3D Tween Quality Issues

Hi all,
Has anyone noticed how the 3D tween causes a loss in visual quality of the movieclip? For example, if I have text within a movieclip, and then put a 3D tween on that movieclip, the text becomes almost blurry (even when the tween is complete). Then if I take the 3D tween off the movieclip, the text goes back to being perfectly clear. It's not just text though; its any content with a 3D tween on it; text is just the most noticable. Is anyone else dealing with this?
Is there something that I'm missing, like a quality setting on 3D tweens?
Thanks for any insight!
P.S. there aren't any blur filters on the movieclip. I checked

Blur Filter and Motion Tweens

Hello, I am creating an animation in which about 5 movie
clips that have blur filters move across the screen. One movie clip
starts with a gradient blur filter, and moves up the screen while
the blur disappears. This movie clip seems to slow down everything
completely.
Is there any way to speed this up a bit?
here is a link to my very rough work in progress (note: the
swf is very slow):

Fla
Cheers for any insight!

I don't know that I have any good news for you on this one. I
had a similar situation where I wanted to create four 'blurry'
spotlights that roamed the screen along tween paths. What I found
was that having four different shaped 'lights' in stationary
positions, but all contained within a single movie clip with one
blurred filter was my best solution.
What may work for you is putting the five movie clips inside
one movie clip and blurring the 'containing' clip.

ITunes 10.6 store blurry/fuzzy text?

I am using Windows 7 X64 SP1 with the latest updates from Microsoft.
I am currently using a Nvidia GTX 460 graphics card, with the latest Nvidia drivers.
I have tried repeatedly to reset iTunes store cache, emptied Windows temp files, does repair options on both iTunes as well as Quicktime.
I have also tried resetting both ClearType (including trying it turned off completely), and reset video card driver settings.
I have tried to re-install both iTunes and Quicktime. I even uninstalled iCloud, and Safari. Still no effective change or improvement in any of those cases.
Yet, the problem still remains. Many times when I try to browse the iTunes store, the text is very blurry and fuzzy and difficult to read. Sometimes the text becomes completely unreadable.
Anyone else have similar experiences?
Anyone know of a workaround, or should I just delete both iTunes and quicktime, and go back to iTunes 10.5 until their is a fix? It all started with the latest iTunes update that supposedly changes how it displays artwork and things. I can't tell any real difference between 10.5 and 10.6 in the case of artwork, but the display of text is getting very frustrating.

Ha! Issue solved. The track not showing the arrows was a PDF in iTunes. All is well.

Free Transform breaks Motion Tweens

Sigh! Normally I try to solve problems myself... but Google isn't giving me anything about this so maybe I'm the only one in the world experiencing this particular issue.
I've used Flash for making games for years now, and I got used to using the old motion tweens for making looping animations for characters. I made the leap from AS2 to AS3 a while ago, and felt like I should try to use these new motion tweens as well since I got CS5...
I've found them completely unusable, however, due to a bizarre problem that happens when moving around objects using the Free Transform tool.
For a single character, I'll have a MovieClip with several layers, each with a 'body part' MovieClip on it, then I add the new blue-type motion tweens to all of those layers. At the end of those tweens, I use F6 to (hopefully) duplicate the starting pose; it is meant to loop, after all. Then I'll go about half way between these two keyframes and move bits around to create the A->B->A sort of 'idle' or 'breathing' animation.
The Free Transform seems dodgy though. If I select all the 'limbs' of a character at once and try to rotate them as a group, it works, but they each end up displaced a bit when I release the mouse; they get offset slightly or rotate a bit in seemingly random directions.
For example, compare these two images (it's easiest if they're opened in separate tabs, I suppose): http://scraps.fighunter.com/sparkpupagh1.png and http://scraps.fighunter.com/sparkpupagh2.png
The first one is after rotating it but before I released the mouse button, the second is what the pieces ended up like after I released the button. Most of the pieces ended up where they should be, but the head was offset slightly. This is a mild case; it's usually worse and affects all the pieces, and the slight offsets and rotations build up, too.
This in itself wouldn't be too bad - though it's frustratingly inaccurate - but it gets much, much worse the more I work on a single animation.
(Note: These strange changes don't happen if I rotate all the parts as a group if they're not also contained within new motion tweens...)
Here's a screenshot showing a frame mid-way through an animation, with one of the parts selected: http://scraps.fighunter.com/meepagh1.png
The Motion Editor is shown, though I don't use that directly.
With that feather bit selected, I then rotated it a tiny, tiny amount, but didn't *move* it at all. When I released the mouse, it ended up snapping suddenly to here: http://scraps.fighunter.com/meepagh2.png
That'd be frustrating in itself, but as you can see from the Motion Editor, it's also messed up most of the other frames in the animation, somehow. This becomes unbearable, as you can likely imagine!
If I edit the graph in the Motion Editor directly to alter the Z value and cause a rotation, it works, without problems... but this is horribly inefficient and unintuitive and not a solution. I can't animate by tweaking numbers. It's like trying to draw a portrait using an Etch-A-Sketch!
It seems to only be the Free Transform tool that creates this bizarre problem.
This has been happening since I got CS5 maybe a year or two ago, though I haven't actually had to use the animation tools much until a few days ago so that's why I'm bringing it up now. I've restarted Flash, my computer, etc, etc, many times; I also got the trial version of CS6 today to see if THAT would fix it, but the exact same thing happens in that version too.
I'm wondering whether it's my computer's fault in some way... I don't know enough about hardware and 'specs' and that sort of stuff to describe anything about it, but I'm using Windows Vista and the computer is fairly old and not exactly what I'd call reliable. I'm planning to get a new one soon, so it'd be nice if that fixed this problem... but frustrating if it doesn't.
I'll link to the CS6-flavoured .fla that those screenshots are from: http://scraps.fighunter.com/Meep.fla
I'd very much appreciate it if someone could test this to see if it's happening to only me! If I go to frame 146 (to choose one at random), and try to rotate the foot, slightly, using the Free Transform tool, it breaks in the way that I've described. (Oddly, the head feather rotates without issues on that frame...) If you were to try to do this same thing and it *doesn't* break, it might be a good sign that it's my computer's fault!
If it *does* break though... then I'd very much appreciate any help I can get from someone who understands the new motion tweens better than I do!
It'd be a shame to have to go back to Classic Tweens because of this...

Printing a PDF created in Indesign results in blurry text.

Hello All,
I am in need of assistance.
I have created a flyer for one of my companies products in In-design.
When I print the project directly form In-design the print looks great and the text is nice and crisp.
However, when I export the project to a "Press Quality" PDF, and print it the text comes our blurry and "dirty"
I have been trying to fix this for 2 days now with no luck.
I have tried multiple different setting during the export to PDF form In-design, all resulting in the same issue.
What is strange is when I print the PDF in black and white the text look just as good as if it were printed directly from In-design in colour.
I looked around online and found allot of posts regarding this issue but no definitive results.
I have also checked the colour of the text and it is 100%K.

What color is the text?
Can you show some screen shots?

Blurry Photos in Photo gallery and Interactive image widget--(iBooks Author)

The pictures that I put in my photogallery and in my interactive image widget were at first clear and would get bigger when I tapped on them (in preview mode on my iPad), and then all of the sudden, they all are blurry, and now when I tap on them, they don't get bigger/zoom! How do I fix this??

The iBook is about 80 pages, and there is an average of one widget per page, sometimes 2. There are a few galleries in which there are more than one picture, but many of them are simply with one picture (because this is the only way to make it get bigger when you tap on it when on the iPad). For the Interactive Image widgets, I took a screenshot of a google maps route, and then focused on different stops to show directions on my iBook. I just redid all of the photo galleries that were blurry, and they are fixed now (no longer blurry). BUT the interactive images are still blurry....maybe I just need to go back and redo them?

Adobe Flash CS5 - Blur effect & tween not working

When I try to create a tween for the blur, so it will blur into focus, the tween just wont work. I go to frame 130, keyframe, add blur filter, create clasic tween. But when i go to frame 131 it instantly pops into focus instead of going along the tween time span to blur in gradually(I have the next keyframe at 160). Anyone have any ideas?! This boggles my mind!
Any help or suggestions would be deeply appreciated
Thanks in advance...

What type of textfield are you using? What type of symbol have you created it as? If you can show a screenshot of the stage and timeline for what you have it might help to identify the problem.

Blurry smart objects in Photoshop Save for Web jpegs

I create graphs, etc in Illustrator, place them as Smart Objects in a master Photoshop file before outputing Save for Web jpegs to use as PowerPoint slide backgrounds. Everything created in Illustrator or Photoshop through that process (Quality 80 or 100 with any of the SfW options on or off) Save for Webs are blurry when imported (at 100%) into PowerPoint. The only way I have been able to get anything crisp in PowerPoint was saving a Photoshop pdf. However, that was only the text created in Photoshop. The Illustrator Smart Object part was still blurry. Anyone have any idea on the best process to combine Photoshop and Illustrator files into one file for import into PowerPoint as a clean, crisp background? At this point I am open to all suggestions.

There are parts that are being added in Photoshop, hence going from Illustrator through Photoshop as a Smart Object and then onto PowerPoint. If I wasn't 5 months down the line and just nearing deadline, I would recreate everything in Illustrator. Assuming that I have to continue at this point down the Illustrator through Photoshop line of working, how do you designate pngs or jpegs to be 220ppi. Jpegs have a 1-12 quality (and 12 is still blurry).
Note regarding PowerPoint, I embed the full-page image into the background so others that are using this can't move (by accident or on purpose) the background.

I am using a Mac and when I save my files as a jpeg, the files become much smaller, and consequently darker and blurrier. What can I do to fix this?

Hello,
I would like to inform you that not all the browsers and online PDF readers support copying text from a PDF. If you have opened the PDF online, please download PDF file to your computer and then open the file in Adobe Reader.

Problem with Tweens and HitTest

Hi guys,
I have a problem with by code generated Tweens and HitTest.
But first of all the backgeround info. I have a couple of dots. They are generated from a single movieclip and differ in scale. The idea is, that the biggest one ist set to the middle position of the stage.
The others are coming from the outer stage border and are moving towards the middle position. This is done by using the Tween class.
What should happen is, that they stop exactly at the border of the dots which are already in the middle. In the beginning there is just the main, big dot which was manually positioned to the middle. When the first dot reached its position, the bounding box should include this new dot.
I use the hitTestObjects method to stop the Tweeing.
The problem is, that there is a 80% chance that the dots have gaps or overlapping each other. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks for every reply!
This is the hitTesting Code in the main class:
public function hitTesting(e:Event):void{
                              for(var i:int=0; i<dotArray.length;i++){
                                                  for(var j:int=i+1; j<dotArray.length;j++){
                                                            if(dotArray[i].hitTestObject(dotArray[j])==true){
                                                                      dotArray[i].stopTweening();
                                                                      dotArray[j].stopTweening();
This is the code for a single Dot
public function Dot(anchorArray:Array,randomX:int,randomY:int,scaleVal:Number,first:Boolean, delayVal:Number, lastElement:Boolean, values:Array) {
     this.x=randomX;
     this.y=randomY;
     this.scaleX=this.scaleY=scaleVal;
     this.valueName=values[0];
     this.countValue=values[1];
     this.gRanking=values[2]
     this.lastElement= lastElement;
     this.first=first;
      if(!first){
           this.xTween = new Tween(this, "x", None.easeNone, this.x, anchorArray[0], 20, false);
           this.yTween = new Tween(this, "y", None.easeNone, this.y, anchorArray[1], 20, false);
           this.xTween.start();
           this.yTween.start();
public function stopTweening():void{
if(!first){
      if(lastElement)
           parent.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, parent.hitTesting);
      xTween.stop();
      yTween.stop();

Ok guys,
found a solution. It seems to be, that the build in HitTest functionality is to inaccurate for my problem.
I found a better implementation here.
Tanks for reading.

2nd Monitor Connected Via DVI to VGA Adapter is Blurry

I have a G4 dual 1.42 GHz (the last G4 model) and have an Apple 20" Cinema Display connected to the ADC port and a 21" CRT monitor connected to the DVI port via the DVI to VGA adapter supplied with the G4.
The CRT monitor display is blurry. I have tweaked display settings in System Preferences and the monitor's controls and nothing helps. I used this monitor in a dual monitor setup on a Power Mac 9600/300 and it was razor sharp, so I know that the monitor is okay. I could pull a display card from the old Power Mac 9600 since it's not being used anymore, but I hate to add another card to the G4 because of the heat problems. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I'm wondering, is it to be expected that the monitor connected to the DVI port via the DVI to VGA adapter won't look anywhere near as good as if it were connected to a separate graphics card? Thanks.

Help! Syncmaster 1100 blurry when connected to Imac with Mini DVI to Vga

Hi,
I recently tried to use my Samsung SyncMaster 1100 (21") as a secondary display But when I connect it with the mini dvi to vga adapter to my imac the image looks blurry. Is there some compatibility isue with syncmaster 1100?
Please Help!, I tryed the imac with a different secondary monitor and it works fine. I tested my syncmaster with another pc and it works fine. I don't know what else to do.
Thanks in advance

Hi Josh,
To start, it is considered extremely impolite to type in all capital letters as you have done. Please use all lower case, or preferably properly capitalised text, in future.
With regards to the problem you're having.. the reason you only see the desktop background is due to screen spanning. If you want the external display to display the same thing as the internal display, go to the displays system preferences pane, and check the box that says "Mirroring"
The color problem is probably due to a loose connection somewhere, either between the iMac and its adaptor, the adaptor and the cable to the projector, or between the projector and the cable plugging into it. If you're still having problems, try different adaptor cables, or try plugging it into a different monitor to try to work out which one is causing a problem.
Good luck
