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.hzp1,

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 imageI 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.

How to create grid texture in Photoshop?
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...

Hello, I would like to know how to animate a drawing in
flash.
For example if I draw a person, have the animation "follow"
the stroke i make with the brush tool, I would also like to make
that a mask.
Any suggestions?
PS: Something similar to this...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIYL6EaefgIhi, take a look at this:

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,

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:

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 javathere 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 -
How to animate roughen Edges effect
I am making an opening credit scene for a friend's movie, and he wants the names to "bleed" in. We think the roughen edges effect looks exactly how we want it to, but can't figure out how to animate it. Is there any way to do so, or give us similar results?
Animate the effect by using keyframes in the Effects Panel
to change property values over time.

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.
Thanks!

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. -
