Creating a motion tween with less frames on the timeline

Hi,
By default when I create a new motion tween, it automatically comprises all frames on the layer. I want only a 72-frame tween, not a 350-frame tween.
Any idea?
Ronald

I did know about suggestion #1 (I just thought it was too much work, especially
since I had to move the 72-frame tween back to the end, on frame 350).
As for suggestion #2, I learned that I could split a tween. Interesting!
Thanks!
Ronald

Poor quality motion tween with png image, tried "Trace Bitmap", but then it looks like a newspaper

Greetings all,
I've been a software developer for many years, but am not very savy in the design elements. So, much of what I'm going to say will probably sound "newbie", so please forgive me in advance.
So, I'm trying to get a transparent image to fly in from the side. So, I *thought* I was doing the correct thing by moving the "symbol" off of the visible portion of the stage, and creating a motion tween to move it onto the stage. The motion works, but the quality of the image in general (and the text in specific) looks pixelated.
Thus, I did a little bit of snooping, and everyone said that you should start with a bitmap. So I saved the image from Photoshop into .bmp format, and was able to set the properties to "allow smoothing" and with lossless compression. So far, so good. Now, as I expected, the transparency is no longer there...
So here's the question: how can I make this image retain its quality, still have transparency, and a motion tween?
It seems like this is some set of characteristics that don't play well together, even though I see this type of thing online ALL the time.
I tried "Trace Bitmap" to convert to a raster image, and tried to follow some suggestions online, but when I do "Trace Bitmap", it ends up looking like it has a bunch of grayish dots on the image... definitely NOT what I was expecting.
Thanks for your help!

Go back to using the png, and set the smoothing allowance. That should take care of the quality. In Flash, a "bitmap" will often refer to any type of image element... .bmp's are probably dinosaurs (as in extinct) where Flash usage is concerned.

Why can't I create a motion tween

I've been following the tutorials given after downloading the program. However, on step " Fine-tune the Characters Movement", it tells me to create a motion tween. But the option to create one isn't there. Any advice would be welcomed.

Hi,
Right-Click on the object to invoke context menu,and you will find "create motion tween" option.If the object in context is not a symbol it will pop up a dialog to confirm if you want the object to be converted to symbol,press Ok as motion tweens are applicable for symbol and text objects only.You will see , as the motion tween is created play head in the timeline jumps to 24th frame there by adding the tween.In the destination frame ,make changes to the object like translate ,rotate etc and press enter to see the preview of the tween.
Thanks,
Sangeeta

How do I create 2 motion tweens for one line of text? the text needs to "fly-in-right", I can do that,

how do I create 2 motion tweens for one line of text? the text needs to "fly-in-right", I can do that, then it needs to "fly-out-bottom" again, I can do that, but not on the same line of text...any ideas...

my question
1- there is any way to assign the Fetch process to specific region so the process take all item in these region only.
2- how can create manual process to fetch row into specific items in page ( i tray these code
SELECT col1, col2, col3 ....
INTO :P1_ITEM1, :P1_ITEM, :P1_ITEM...
FROM table
WHERE id = :P_id ) but no data retrieve .
I do not think that it is possible to have more than one Automated Row Fetch process in a given page. See the thread:
ORA-01403: no data found : Unable to fetch row multiple automated row fetch
On your second question, the manual process should work provided:
P_ID has a value when the process executes. You can do it this way:
i. Make this process as a on-load After/Before header process
ii. Make sure that P_ID page item has value when the process executes (set it from another page or before the pl/sql process executes)

Creating a motion tween on x then y axis

Hello! I am trying to figure out how to make my movie clip move from left to right then down with a motion tween script. I have the script written to move left to right on the x axis, but can't figure out how to add the script to have it then move down on the y axis.
Can anyone assist me?
Thank you!

How many motions tweens can you have on a timeline?

I'm a college student in Seattle. We just had our mid-terms in Flash CS5. One of the really simple questions was "How many motion tweens can you have on a timeline." Yup. The answer is one...... or is it? I had a long discussion with my tutor (who is the greatest tutor in the world) and he wanted to think about it. I said to him that I thought that one motion tween was wrong because you can click on an object in the timeline, make it a motion tween, and double click it and make several motion tweens. So, essentially, you can have more than one motion tween on a timeline. Is anyone able to advise me because this is all about grades!

You can have quite a few motion tweens on a timeline. You can even have them happening simultaneously (I don't know of a specific limit), as long as they are all on their own layers. Though the more you add simultaneously the more they can weigh down the speed of things running.
If you need to prove this to someone, the easiest way is to create it and demonstrate it. But you may want to check the exact wording of the question... it would not be beyond an examiner to throw a trick question in.

Motion Tween w/ Rotation Dropping on the Y Axis

Is there a way to prevent a motion tween w/ rotation from dropping on the Y axis? Basically I used Free Transform to change the angle of a line, but it always lowers itself on the Y axis when I insert a motion tween in it.

Hey there,
The properties shouldn't be changing when you insert a motion tween. Could you either attach a file with the object *before* you create the tween, or let me know all the properties of the object before you insert the tween so I can try and reproduce internaly? (X, Y, rotation, scale X/Y, skew X/Y).
Thanks!
Jen.

When I attempt to add a new key frame into the timeline it adds several frames to my animation

I am trying to edit an FLV file with flash professiona. Right now every frame is on long frame sequence, meaning that right now there is only one key fram in the entire 40 second animation. I am trying to add put key frames at various points in my animation but when I attempt to add a new key frame into the timeline it copies ever frame up to the selected and adds it to the front of my timeline. Any Idea how to fix this? I want to break my video up so I can add some shape tweens in between some of the frames

Why cant I see the video frames in the timeline view?

When creating a new video editing project, I cant see the movie frames in the timeline view. I'm not sure why, but I've been pulling my hair out trying to see what I looks like in the tutorial. Even if I have multiple scenes added, they don't appear in the timeline as video 1,2,3, etc(stacked vertically). I'm unable to utilize the editing functions of timeline without having the movies clips broken down into individual frames. Please help me understand what Im doing wrong!!

Thanks for the reply. The Toggle display does stretch out the clips but doesnt still won't show frames. This is all I can see in the timeline view.
I'm using quicktime movies. I notice on the help images the movie files are AVI. could that be the issue?

Saving frame by frame in the timeline

I am editing a short avi clip converted from a 1959 8mm film in the timeline. The telecine conversion results in as sharp an image as I have manged to get using PPro 5.5 unsharp mask. I tried mocha planar tracking to automatically remove a fixed spider web on the top edge of each frame in the clip. Because the web is not distinct and the background does not progress at a steady fixed pace, the mocha procedure was not successful. Previous feedback recommended methods to mask the edge. Using various masking attempts to automate the procedure was also unsuccessful for the same reasons as mocha.
I have the time and decided to replace the spider web on each frame edge using photoshop tools e.g. clone stamp etc. - although other tools such as healing brush do not appear to work in the timeline as I expect. My saves so far have resulted in a whole clip being saved with all following frames being modified similar to the first edited frame. Perhaps I am not using the editing procedures in photoshop from the timeline correctly.
How do I save frame by frame in the timeline?

I am now at layer 50 from the frame conversion to layers with many more to go. The results of the Polygonal Lasso Tool with copy, paste, and merge down plus the Spot Healing Brush Tool are impressive. Most of the layers so far have had sky with clouds on top. Because the original 8mm film converted to digital was kept in high humidity for some time, the resulting sky is blotchy and changes from layer to layer. I started editing layer by layer but now I have experience with this, I have decided to concentrate on editing one good sky rendition then copying it to the rest of the frames. The only glitch in the swing of things has been to remember to merge down after each paste. Having loaned the video to someone with a dirty film gate has left some dark lines down each layer. The Spot Healing Brush tool at 12px is incredible at removing the lines while maintaining the detail of the background. This is tedious work but a family 8mm film from 1950s in the South Pacific is worth the effort.
The spider web that was on the camera film gate on the top left remains fixed. Several lines are also mostly fixed.
I have some programming experience. Is there a way of developing an automated maco to replace imperfections that are the same from layer to layer using Photoshop tools?

Motion tween with transitions

Im trying to create and effect where a picture will move
across the stage and I have done this. I have also been able to
create transitions with little problems. The effect that i am
looking for is to combine both motion tween and fade in fade out
effects. If i start with a full motion tween then add the effect
the effect become repetitive which i only want fade in while the
motion is going the stop at the end of fade in stay static while
the motion is going and then fade out.
I do not know what I am doing wrong here but i have been
working at this problem for about 3 to 4 hours, is there anyone
that can help me?
Thanks in advance

How to create a motion tween?? :S

Hii
I know it is very easy. Right click>create motion tween>drag to where I would like the text/object to move
BUT
Sometimes it doesn't seem to work when i drag the text. It will work the first time and for the second text on the frame it won't work. I don't why .....any help???
Can someone tell me the requirements of a motion tween when it comes to text on a single layer in the same frame.
Thanks

You can only tween one object in a layer, so if you are trying to tween more than one it will break the tween. Keep your different textfields on different layers.

Combining a path motion tween with a mask

I have a mask layer that I have animated and underneath that
I have a motion tween of a symbol using a path motion guide. The
mask doesn't seem to work with those layers. Is that a restriction?
If so BIG BIG BUMMER!!

create a black shape in your bottom-most layer. above that layer create a while shape that covers you black shape. above that layer create your oval and tween it. finally right click the oval containing layer and click mask. test.

Create run-as-account with less secure option in C#

Hi all,
Is there any way I can create run-as-account using C# code with less secure option.
I have referred this code.
ManagementGroup managementGroup = ManagementGroup.Connect(System.Environment.MachineName);
Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Security.SimpleCredentialSecureData runAsAccount = new Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Security.SimpleCredentialSecureData();
runAsAccount.Data = ConvertToSecureString("sample");
runAsAccount.Description = "Sample run_as_account_description";
runAsAccount.Name = "Run_as_account";
runAsAccount.UserName = "sample@abc";
managementGroup.Security.InsertSecureData(runAsAccount);
But it creates account with more secure option.

Hi,
I searched the internet and found below link about SecureData type, not sure whether it can be useful for you as I am not familiar with
SimpleCredentialSecureData() method, but you may refer to it and check it.

In addition, I would liketo suggest you also post in the MSDN forum for coding issue.
