Adobe CS6 Flash - 3D transform tool is grayed out?

Hi,
I am using adobe flash cs6 and I want to rotate an image in 3d space, but when I select the image then click the 3d transform tool I don't get the 3 circles to spin the image. I tried opening the transform toolbar, and the options to move it in 3d space are grayed out. I tried breaking the image apart, and still the same results - I can't rotate the image...
Does anyone know what I should be doing to get 3d rotate to work?
Thanks.

You have to convert your image to a symbol first (F8) to be able to use 3D Translation

  • All of a sudden the transform tool and free transform tool are grayed out and will not allow me to scale, rotate, or do anything to an image I just scaled?

    I've been using Photoshop for years, but tonight I ran into an issue that I don't understand. I was working with a file that I had been working with for months. I added a new image and resized it to fit as I needed just as I always have (select layer with image > EDIT > TRANSFORM > SCALE.) All was working fine. I added a second image to the file I was working on (I added it by dragging it into the file from another window just as I had added the first image.) However, this time when I tried to select EDIT > TRANSFORM > SCALE this option was not available to me. Only the FREE TRANSFORM PATH or TRANSFORM PATH options were available. When I selected the SCALE in the TRANSFORM PATH menu (just to see what would happen) it started to scale a completely unrelated layer that DID have a path to it. However, the layer of my image was still selected and NOT the layer with the path. This image layer has no path even on it or around it in any way.  I tried to select the folder layer and the same thing happened. It selected this one path and tried to scale it. I selected the layer I just previously scaled and tried to scale it again and it will only allow me to select the transform path option. I selected it to see again what would happen and once again it selected this completely unrelated path on a completely different layer. WHAT?????  This makes absolutely no sense! I have tried restarting both my computer and PS and it won't stop happening! I really need to get this file finished and uploaded to my developer ASAP so I really hope that someone has some insight as to why this is happening.

    hedger,
    How do you expect anyone to help when we don't know a darned thing about the file, abut your setup, exact version of Photoshop and your OS, machine specs, etc.?
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

    Make sure you haven't accidentally flattened the object you
    want to use
    the knife tool on. It won't work on bitmaps.

  • "select an object" tool is grayed out in acrobat X Pro

    "select an object" tool is grayed out in acrobat X Pro

    You are correct.
    i was confusing select an object with select tool for text and graphics.  they look identical.
    i always thought it would be a good idea to have some type of explanation that appeared in front of a grayed out option, so the user could understand why it is grayed out
    thank you to all the group that helped

  • Can't quit Photoshop and most tools are grayed out too!

    Pretty much everytime I am working on a document in Photoshop, something happens and
    most of the tools get grayed out, including Quit.  I have to force quit to get out of it and reopen to do more changes.
    Any suggestions?

    Still can't figure this out... It's getting embarrasing in front of clients.
    I"m running version 11.0.2 on OSx 10.6.4.

  • Photoshop CS6 preferences and scrubby zoom are grayed out on Cintiq 13HD but not on my laptop?

    So basically I got a new Cintiq 13HD and apart from finding out that there's screen rotating issues for lefties, there's also some Photoshop issues.
    Scrubby zoom is my favorite zooming tool, and when I opened Photoshop on the Cintiq the option was grayed out. I Google this and it tells me to go to preferences but that's grayed out too. It works perfectly fine and not grayed out on my laptop however, so I'm not sure what I can do about this.
    This may well be a Wacom problem and not an Adobe one, but I said I'd ask here.

    Hi Emily
    We don't have as many Cintiq users on this forum as you might think, and most of use would be guessing when trying to think, so you might do better asking on the Wacom Cintiq forum  However, my own experiences using the Wacom forums have not been favourable.
    So I'll start with that guessing process, and my first guess is that Photoshop is only installed on the laptop, and that the Cintiq has to be connected to it?  If that is the case, you need to tell us what the laptop is, and its operating system and version.
    I understand that the much more expensive Cintiq Companion operates as a stand alone device, but this is not relevant to your problem.
    You probably need to make sure your laptop's video card driver is fully up to date from the card makers website, and that our Cintiq has the most up to date driver.
    BTW  A very quick Google tells me that Mac systems with Mavericks have had issues with your tablet.

  • CS6 Applications all show update as grayed out

    Hello all:
    After a major system update of my 2010 Mac Pro 12-core where I have two startup drives (one with Lion and the other Yosemite), I did a complete uninstall of CS6 master collection applications on both drives. Upon doing the reinstall successfully on Lion without problem other than serial number issues (ultimately solved), when I did it on the Yosemite drive, ultimately only Acrobat (which updates alone) could update. All other applications on Yosemite have the 'update" as grayed out. Any ideas anyone?

    Hello, it sounds like you have the Desktop selected, not an open Finder Window selected, this is what shows if no Finder Window is highlighted, or if just using the Find "Window", you need a Real Finder Window open or click on icon in sidebar...

  • Why is my 'start private browser' under "Tools" option grayed out?

    When I click on 'Tools' from the browser screen, the 'Start Private Browser' option is grayed out.

    Are you sure that it isn't a grayed "Stop Private Browsing" ?

  • When extracting hair, the Refine Radius Tool is grayed out in Photoshop cc

    Maybe they've changed the process for the Refine Radius Tool but my version of cc does not allow me to further refine the extraction.

    Hi Ron.  Yes you can adjust the brush size with the square brackets.  I use the express wheel on my Intuos 4.  But more importantly, I don't think there is any reason why Refine Radius would be greyed out from a usser error point of view.  You could try resetting your preferences by restarting Photoshop while holding down the Shift Alt Ctrl (Shift Opt Cmd) keys.  But it could also be a video driver problem.  Go to the card makers site and make sure you have the very latest driver for it.  
    Do you have a tablet?  I sometimes have a sticky brush problem with mine, and have to tap the stylus on the tablet to free it up.  That could cause problems with brush size, but I doubt it would cause the Refine edge button to be grey out.
    What OS btw?  Is it Windows 8?  There seem to be a few people with video driver problems with Windows 8 and CC

  • Adobe Reader X Highlight Text button is grayed out

    I'm trying to highlight text in a pdf document.  At the top of the doc there is an informational note that says "...has been opened in read-only mode to prevent modification." Read-only is ont checked in the properties box. I checked the security and there is none. I have renamed the file with no luck. This is not a scanned document and the text is searchable. I can highlight text in other pdf documents. Any ideas how to get around this read-only setting?
    Also when I tried to add tags to this question I could not underline multiple words as indicated inthe instructions.

    Is there something special about a pdf/a doc?

  • Free Transform Tool

    I'm using the free transform tool on a rectangle to make it smaller. My problem is both sides close in and I only want one side to close in. Is there something I can un-check somewhere to do this? It isn't a big issue if I cant do it but I'm curious just in case I need it later.

    yes, it seems that Flash CC transform tool behavior is different from all previous versions.
    The new behavior uses the Transformation point, which makes some sense in most cases.
    It's of course very tedious to move manually this point to one side or another (moreover it seems that there is no natural snapping).
    At first sight it seems that Adobe broke a valid and useful feature,... but finally I found this:
    Solution:
    If you want one side of the bounding rectangle to remain fixed, use ALT key.
    With pure drawing shapes, using CTRL key offers even more control (+ skew)
