CS4 - Deco Tool- How to animate Grid Fill?

Hello Everybody,
If you haven't seen the Deco Tool do a Grid Fill, it's
pretty awesome. The only problem is, that unlike it's big(more
complex) brother: "Vine Fill", it lacks the option box called:
"Animate Pattern"(Which animates the Vine Fill, enlarging the
timeline till the Vine Fill, fills the stage, as a beautiful new
animation).
Why must this be?
This was so mean.
This was the ultimate tease!
What's up Flash CS4 Developers!?
lol
Not cool.

Any hope for a method of animating the Grill Fill of the Deco
Tool? (That is until you update Flash CS4 and give it the obvious
animation option that it is surly missing)
~Mikeumus

Still no takers?
Isn't making your own fills for the deco tool kinda a big
deal?

  • CS4 deco tool within mask or specific area?

    So far, I've used the deco tool to animate some interesting
    background patterns. However, I would like to use it for something
    other than backgrounds. For instance, rather than a vine and leaf
    pattern on an entire page, could I instead fill a specified area?
    If I was to use the deco tool to create grass, for instance, I
    wouldn't want to fill the entire stage, but just a specified area.
    If I use a mask... my concern is that its not animating just
    that section, so elements will be cut off.

    Yes! The Deco tool fills whatever area its used in. So on
    the main
    timeline, it fills the Stage. If you draw a closed stroke
    somewhere -- on
    the Stage or inside a symbol -- the Deco tool will fill the
    area enclosed by
    that stroke instead. Use the Oval tool, for example, to draw
    an unfilled
    oval or circle (a stroke, but no fill). Then click inside
    that area with
    the Deco tool.

    You could use a mask too, but that isn't as efficient as
    limiting the
    Deco tool's fill from the get go. I'm not sure what you mean
    with this last
    statement, though. If you mask your content, elements will
    indeed be cut
    off -- but that's the purpose of a mask, right? Be aware that
    you can
    animate a mask as easily as you can animate the content it
    partially
    obscures.

  • Files not saving with Deco tool or Spray Brush tool selected

    I found that .fla files do not save in Flash CS4 when the Deco tool or Spray Brush tool is selected. Is this a bug? Or is there a workaround to this issue.
    Please clarify.

    Hmm - thanks for letting us know.
    It does seem to be the case that the "*" next to the file name does not go away when these particular tools are selected. It does seem to actually save the changes though to the document, so you should be safe after the ctrl+s.

  • Photoshop cs4 rectangle tool error

    Hi
    I am using photoshop cs4. In my cs4, rectangle tool having a problem see this image

    I see no problem. These are simply high-contrast antialiasing issues based on your choice of colors affecting how a) the human eye perceives this stuff and b) it messes with things like compression on a technical level. It's really just a bad design decision and simple things like e.g. adding a hint of subtle outer glow or "dirtying" up your colors with a bit of black will easily resolve this.

    Christoph points out a very good method for creating your own grid pattern.
    There is one already provided that may be sufficient.  Choose Edit - Fill - Pattern, load the standard Patterns set, and choosing the grid pattern Tiles-Smooth from the provided Patterns...

  • Deco Tool JSX API

    Just wondering if anyone could forward me, or tell me where to get my grubby little hands on, the JSX API that is used for for the Deco Tool in Flash CS4/CS5.
    Reson being is that I'm the programmer for an animation studio and currently I have an automated process set up that allows people to draw a regular brush line in flash, mark it off, and then send it to be rebrushed by my bot which exports the line from flash, imports it into illustrator, brushes it with the appropriate illustrator brush and then it gets imported back into flash over the top of the original line.
    What I want to do is be able to use the brushes in the deco tool and apply a deformation to them to allow them to bend. The ones I am dealing with are fixed length and it will be up to the artist to decide what looks good.
    So if anyone has the info I need I'd appreciate it. This could also seal the deal for us buying a coupla hundred (min) CS5 licences to get this feature. (Adobe, any love left for me?)
    TIA,
    Danyul

    Hi,

    The scripts that ship with Flash can be found in the install directory:
    Flash CS4:
    Win - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\<language>\First Run\ProcScripts
    Mac - /Applications/Adobe Flash CS4/<language>/First Run/ProcScripts
    Flash CS5:
    Win XP - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5\Common\First Run\ProcScripts
    Mac - /Applications/Adobe Flash CS5/Common/First Run/ProcScripts
    These files get copied to your user-configuration directory when you first launch Flash.  You can add custom scripts to your user-configuration folder and the procedural modeling engine will load those when you launch Flash:
    Flash CS4:
    Win XP - C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS4\<language>\Configuration\ProcScripts

  • How to animate JFRAME

    hi all ,
    any body know how to animate the JFRAMEwindow on closing and minimizing or whatever or place the application in the systray and to invoke the same in java

    there are several ways to produce this stuff:
    #1 - Generate an animateed gif and then apply this large image over the frame
    #2 - set a CardLayout to the container and then create a set of components, each of them containing a diferent image... Then, uses a timer task to change between the cards...
    #3 - Use a simple frame, an image array or vector and a timer task (or a simple Thread). Then override the paint method showing te current index of the image array ... Use the thread to change the current index..
    and so on..

  • How i can full fill the JTabbedPane  in the jpanel?

    i'm chinese ,i'm sorry for my poor English.
    when i add a jpanel to the jframe(the contentPane is seted to BorderLayout),the jpanel is full fill the jframe,
    but when i
    jpanel.add(jTabbedPane1,BorderLayout.CENTER );
    the jTabbedPane1's size is too small.
    my question is how i can full fill the JTabbedPane in the jpanel like
    jpanel in the jframe?

    post a small sample program that displays what you have described
    just a JFrame, containing a JPanel
    the panel contains a JTabbedPane
    the tabbedPane has 1 tab which contains a JPanel
    enough so that we can copy/paste/compile and run the program

    Animate the effect by using keyframes in the Effects Panel

  • Cloud Tool - How does it work?

    We can't figure out how to get the Cloud Tool to work - it just puts down a red wavy line that stops wherever you click on the page - I want it to circle stuff but all I can do is make stupid lines....
    It doesn't work like the circle, oval or box tool.
    I guess no one know how it works......

    Thanks,
    Is there a key combination you can hold down to make it roundish or square
    or scale it proportionately?
    Please don¹t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

    Subject: Cloud Tool - How does it work?
    The cloud tool works in a similar fashion to a polygon tool. Click to draw
    lines keep clicking until you get back close to the origin. The Cloud will
    close itself and open a comment box for your use.
