Bitmap Font gets blurry when its swf is loaded into a movie clip

I have a gallery i'm working on, located here:
http://www.stationarynotes.com/portfolio/Gallery.html
If you click the first button (the one that looks like a
splattered "S" in black ink) you'll see that my bitmap text gets
rendered all blurry. That swf which is being loaded renders fine
when I test it by itself. The text is positioned with whole numbers
and aligns to the grid within its own swf, and the movie clip which
receives it is also positioned with whole numbers. Do you think
perhaps when it is loaded into another MC it is being pushed off of
the grid somehow...? I'm really confused.
I can post my .flas if that'll help.

bitmap fonts look best when positioned on a whole pixel
number (100.0 instead of 100.4 for example).
If you are loading into an empty clip - try placing that clip
on the nearest whole number. or you
could load the external swf to a level with will position it
at 0,0 (upper left corner of stage).

How to load swf into a movie clip?

i have an swf file i want to load into a movie clip within my
flash file, i think im supposed to use loadmovie () instead of
loadmovienum, can anyone help me out? thanks

loadMovie("X",Y);
Where x is: the url of the swf file you want to load.
Where y is: the name of the movieclip you want to load it
into. You must give the movieclip an instance name.
For example, if I wanted to load '1.swf' into a movieclip
with an instance name of "loaderclip," my code would be:
loadMovie("1.swf", loaderclip);

I am wonder why when i add a picture with words to my slideshow in final cut the res clarity seems to get blurry when the poem I am making is playing the picture seems to become blurry but when i stop it the res quality seems to get better

i add a picture from the web to the final cut project and as my poem is playing some pictures are getting blurry when it plays but when i pause it the picture seems to be more clear

Possibly it's just a matter of switching Quality to Better Quality in Viewer Display Options. Or rendering the clip.

GetURL not working when swf is loaded into another swf

Ok, I need some help for something relatively simple which
for some reason I've not been able to find any information on at
all?
Hopefully it will be something easy to fix.
Essentially I have the following:
my main movie "Home.swf"
another movie "Sub.swf"
I've loaded "Sub.swf" into "Home.swf" via an empty movieclip.
Within "Sub.swf" I have some links which when clicked call
getURL and open a HTML page in the browser.
But for some reason the getURL isn't working and I believe
its because the getURL is called from a loaded movie within
"Home.swf".
I've tried changing the actionscript to:
_root.getURL('/mypage.html');
_parent.getURL('/mypage.html');
but neither (_root / _parent) seems to work?
Need help here please.
Many thanks.
Kind regards,
M.

Hi kglad,
Yes the button is definitely firing ok.
In the "Sub.swf" movie, on the second frame of the timeline
(the first frame is some preloader code) there is the following
code:
imgMC.mascara.onPress = function() {
//trace('mc[activo] = ' + mc[activo]);
switch(mc[activo])
case _level0.imgMC.MC0:
trace('0 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC1:
trace('1 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC2:
trace('2 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC3:
trace('3 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC4:
trace('4 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC5:
trace('5 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
If I run this movie in Flash (ctrl-enter) then the trace
works fine.
But the trace stops working when I run the main "Home.swf"
movie in Flash (ctrl-enter) when the "Sub.swf" is loaded into an
empty movie clip.
And when I change the trace for a getURL and test in a
browser it still doesn't work?
What do you reckon?
Thanks.

How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's inside other movie clip?

Hi.
I creating my first flash (actionscript 3.0) website but I'm
stuck with a visual effect I want to create.
I have a window on my website called contentWindow. Every
time you click a button this window is supposed to leave the stage,
load the requested content and return to the stage.
The sliding window is a movie clip with 83 frames, 21 to
enter the stage, 21 to leave the stage again, 20 for nothing (its
just to simulate the loading time) and 21 to return to the stage.
Now my goal is, when the user clicks on a navigation button,
the window exits the stage, loads an external SWF with the content,
and then returns to the stage.
I've the "window" movie clip with an instance name of
"contentWindow". Inside there is another movie clip with an
instance name of "contentLoader". The content that the user
requested should appear inside the "contentLoader".
Now, when the contentWindow leaves the stage, I get this
error message:
quote:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.
at rwd_fla::MainTimeline/trigger()
If I switch
"contentWindow.contentLoader.addChild(navLoader);" for
"contentWindow.addChild(navLoader);" it works fine, but the
external SWF doesn't move with the window.
How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's
inside other movie clip?

Hi,
Recently, I have been putting together a flash presentation.
And I am just wondering if the following might help you, in your
communication with the said swf file:
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
onComplete);
function onComplete(event:Event):void
event.target.content.thinggy_mc.y -= 100;
Not the best example, but this allows you to target a mc
within an external swf file. I think if you look up this code, you
will have an answer ;)

When i now go on virgin media movie clips they will no longer play

i have virgin media home page selected for my home page when i select to look at latest movie clips it go to page but clip does not play.if i do the same useing internet explorer it plays so it must be something to do with firefox browser it did used to play but has not worked for last couple of weeks.

Some problem here. I bought my iPad 2 in June, and it has never been able to play a TV show purchased from iTunes. Shows I bought many months ago and synced to my Touch worked fine but can't be resynced to the very same Touch today.
Both the desktop iTunes and the iPad iTunes are registered in my one and only Apple ID, so copy-protection should not be the problem. Of course they are and always have been updated to the very latest OS/version.
Don't get your hopes up that Apple has a solution. They give us the runaround about updating the software and the same darn link to a help page about supported video formats ("Uh, I told you the video is from your own store!"). I have tried reauthorizing in both places. I have tried thoroughly un- and re-installing iTunes+Quicktime. No TV show is worth this hassle. It has soured me on the whole Apple iTunes ecosystem.

I am trying to insert a cut photo into a movie clip. the cutaway photo appears above the clip and cuts away when you move the curser across it, but does not show the cutaway when in playback. What am I missing?away

I am trying to insert a cutaway photo into a movie clip. The cuaway photo appears over the clip and will appear in the clip when you manually moce the curser across it, but will not appear in the clip during playback. What am I missing?

Try using the SHARE menu to share your movie in the sizes you need. It should work on the shared copy.
Another thing to try would be to restart your Mac so you have fresh memory.

Photos get blurry when I bring them into iMovie.

When ever I bring any of my photos (full res. from my canon 5D 12 mega pixel or high res neg scans) into iMovie they look horrible. They just get blurry.
Whats the deal. I know the images or tac sharp. If I tether my camera to my TV and view them, they look great. Put them in imovie 2, 4, or 5...they look bad. whats the deal?

delongt, there are tons of topics here discussing image quality in all versions of iMovie. Try using the forum's search function to search for words like "blurry", "jaggies", etc. You'll find lots of useful information, including how to avoid a bug or two that affects the quality of the DVD you burn.
It's important to realize that iMovie NEVER shows you all the image quality that's actually there. (iMovie is a video editor, not a video player.) So don't judge the quality by what you see in iMovie.
That said, ALL images imported to iMovie are converted to Digital Video. They are no longer high-res images, so they won''t look as good as the originals. They are considerably better than what you see displayed in iMovie, however.
The important consideration is not how they appear in iMovie, but how they appear on a TV, playing the DVD you burn of the project. Everything else you can pretty much ignore.

Fonts get blurry.

I'm trying to do a animation where text comes from distance, fly towards the camera and eventually disappears behind the camera. The problem is that when the text comes close to the camera it gets all blurry. Is there any way to work around this in motion? Tried to learn about Fixed Resolution in Motion5 but it doesn't seem to concern text layers, at least I couldn't find the checkbox for it. Or is it just so that I have to create the text as vector graphics in Illustrator?

Thanks schmackhaft!
I thought that render quality selection only affected the playback but as it seems it also applies when your not playing the project. And I may also add a thing that I just found out that when you render video out through Export Movie there's by default the selection Use Canvas Settings is selected!

Why do my photos get blurry when they are enlarged to full screen from the disc I burn, or played on the t.v.? I set the burn on the highest quality. The photos don't look blurry when enlarged from iphoto on the computer.

Why do my photos that are transferred from iphoto to idvd, and then burned on DVD, look blurry when the idvd is shown full screen on computer or on t.v. They don't look blurry when I enlarge the iphoto pics on the computer. I used the 'prof. quality" encoding setting before burning, and before putting photos on idvd.

Hi
DVD is as standard - only interlaced SD-Video (as on old CRT-TVs) and can never be any better than this.
This is less than a quarter of Your Mac screen resolution.
That's one part of Why You can see High res. on Your Mac - and not on DVD.
Next part is what program is used to make the SlideShow.
If You use iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - to make it - it too degrades the final result as non of them can deliver interlaced SD-Video to iDVD but only half (every second line in the picture)
I use
• iMovie HD6 or
• FinalCut (any version) or
• FotoMagico™
As they all delivers 100% of what iDVD or Toast™ or DVD Studio Pro or Whatever needs.

Why does my video get blurry when uploaded to youtube?

I shot my video on a 5d m2, Processed it in premeir Pro cs6 and exported full res and encoded for you tube. It is tack sharp on my computer quick time player etc, but when loaded into youtube looks like a cell phone video. Please help! Thanks to all for your help.

Try exporting using the H.264 preset for YouTube at the dimensions of your video. It sounds like you may have done that but you were not specific.
Also, verify that you are looking at the HD version of the video when you use the YouTube player. All this assumes that you waited long enough for YouTube to process the HD version. It first encodes a SD version, then it encodes the HD version.

I get this �� when I try to load just a few websites. It also shows up in place of boilerplate copy on some websites that I can open up.

When I open AOL mail in Firefox, I get these question marks where copy should be. I also get it when I try to login in to a website. I didn't have this problem initially after I downloaded Firefox, but now, on only a few sites, I get these question marks. I've tried the suggestions offered on the help menu, but these still exist.

Did you make changes to the default Font and Encoding settings (Western ISO-8859-1)?
* Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
You can try a few different encoding settings via "View > Character Encoding".

Want to hide mouse, then show it when new swf file opens above the movie?

Hi,
I am using a magnifying glass animation for my portfolio and I want he mouse cursor to hide, which I can work out with:
Mouse.hide()
But when someone clicks on a section it then loads a swf file above the original movie so I then want the mouse cursor to show but i'm not sure what the code would be for this?
Also then once they press on the close button of this swf file with:
on (release) {
unloadMovieNum(1);
_level0.enableBtns();
I want the mouse cursor to hide again becuase they are on the main movie again. Any ideas??

use Mouse.show() when you want the cursor to be shown and Mouse.hide() whenever you want to hide the mouse.

Getting Error when convert the plan order into production order

Hi Experts,
When i converting the planorder into production order i am getting this error
could you please suggest me hoew can i resolve this issue.
Message no. CK466
Diagnosis
The system could not calculate a price for the internal activity with activity type 20000 of cost
center 110TUP002 because none of the valuation strategies in valuation variant 006 was successful.
System Response
If the system issues a warning message or an information message, the costing item will be
used in costing with a value of zero.
If the system issues an error message, it sets the status "KF" (costed with errors).
If the system issues a termination message, the cost estimate cannot be processed.
Procedure
1. Check the master data for activity type 20000 of cost center 110TUP002.
2. If you have authorization for Customizing, check the valuation strategy for internal activities
in valuation variant 006.
Thanks&regards.

Hi,
For the orders for which you get the error, note the dates, then check in KSBT, whether there is price maintained for that period.
Eg: If the order has a start - 2nd Aug, 2010 & end 10th Aug, 2010, then check if price exists for period - 08, year - 2010
Regards,
Vivek
Added
If the values are maintained, then check the costing variants specified for the order type in OPL8 for plant - order type combination in cost accounting tab. Then in OPL1, check the details specified for the variants. If you're not sure on this, take help from your FI-Co colleague.

Stopping external SWF when new SWF is loaded

Ok.... hmmmmm. I am currently working on a flash site that
loads external SWFs for each page. one of the SWFs contains a
sitepal movie. the sitepal has been coded to stop playing and
unload on a frame change but it keeps playing when a link in the
index is clicked and another SWF comes in. (in other words there is
no frame change. the new SWF loads but the old one keeps playing)
make sense?
I just need the site pal to stop playing when the next SWF
loads!
each link on the bottom is part of the main.swf
(index.swf)...
I need the links on the bottom to "turn off" the SWF when a
new page is choosen. the External SWFs are labled 1-5....
attached is a simple diagram in .jpg format explaining the
functionality of the site!
any insight is appreciated...
PS
IM NO CODE MONKEY.... more of a point-click, copy-paste type
o dude..

HI,
My files loads an external swf (containing the video) into a
container on my stage. The loaded swf contains the embedded wmv
movie file, which is quite large I might add. Do I need to cut file
size or change to flv?
thanks again.
