Flash + 3d animation + CPU
Hy everybody , i am big fan of derbauer i like how they work, so i am start to learn 3d programs to make animations in 3d and websites like derbauer, right now am good with 3d , i make lot of objects in 3d Max(buttons,spare...) for my TEST site and here is it http://www.mypost.ge/flash/test1bgfx.html i am just tring to do like this site http://ar-operator.com/ -it made by derbauer.
I have one problem i-t takes to much CPU , on P4 with 2.6 ghz animation is very slow, in 3d max i am rending animation in png format and then i importing them in flash,i am not using any action script for animation,all u see is just 3d rendered png pictures imported in flash,so is there any way to animate png pictures in flash with less CPU usage? if u check derbauer.de site u will se that they have many png animations there but it not takes much cpu, how they doing that?if someone have answer please help me thanks
sorry for my english i hope u understand everything
if someone running on old intel p4 cpu please post here how much cpu using my test site on u PC thanks
here is picture from my test flash project,u can se how i am animate animation using frame by frame animation
If you don`t need any interactivity and the output is pure video its a no-brainer. After effects is vastly superior to Flash when it comes to 3D manipulation, so skip Flash. After effects has a similar concept to Flashs MovieClips with so called "Compositions", so it shouldn`t be too hard for you to transfer the concept.

After 1 year, I finally solved the Flash Player 100% CPU issue!
I created this guide to help people with this problem.
http://sgsoft.bravehost.com/flashcpuproblem.html
My problem was after watching/doing Flash videos or anything Flash related, my CPU would go up to 100% and whole computer slows down to a point I had to close my browse through Task Manager.
Both in Firefox and Internet Explorer. Searched all over the web and still couldn't find a solution.
It was my CPU heating issue causing this slowdown and sluggish performance of Flash.
Hope, it helps you guys.You may wish to note that at least some of the problems on any Windows system after Windows XP could relate to the use of FlashPlayers protected mode.
Some users may wish to employ the most recent version of Flash Player that will work on their sytem. in which case it could be worth trying an up-to-date version of FlashPlayer but with protected mode disabled.
The setting is changeable by editing a file ( adding the line ProtectedMode=0 to the Flash "mms.cfg" file) and instructions may be found in these articles
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Flash_Player_11.3_Protected_Mode_-_Windows <br /> Probably an interesting reference article to scroll through regarding Flash Problems with Firefox

Troubles importing Flash 10 Animation with 3D Transform
I am looking for any workaround/experiences for importing a Flash 10 animation with 3D transforms. Currently, doing this will wig out Captivate 4 and break the embedded animation in all sorts of ways. AS3 support in Captivate is turned on and the same animation will load and play correctly if the 3D transform is removed. All other Flash 10/AS3 possibilites work including motiosn graphs and filters.
I find the 3D transform option of Flash CS4 to be one of the most powerful features ever introduced in Flash and would allow some incredible breakthrough design possibilities for my Captivate projects, if it would just support it! Any experiences with this issue welcomed. A bug report has been submitted also, but looking for a quicker remedy.Problem Resolved!
I got this tip from Vikram (Adobe Support)
1. Open your project having Flash Player 10 animations involving 3D transforms.
2. Click the Edit menu and select Preferences.
3. Select "Publish settings" under the "Project" section.
4. Check "Animations" option under the "Externalize resources" section.
5. Press OK.
6. Now click the publish button.
7. In the publish dialog, select Flash Player 10 from the "Flash Player version:" drop down.
8. Click publish.
(F4 preview may not work, so use preview in browser)
Also, you may need to be wary of embedded scripted symbols as they may loose reference to the parent symbol after being embedded in yoru your CP4 project containing 3D transforms. My advice here is to try to script using as much object oriented js as possible in the main timeframe.
I am using a combination of localConnect and ExternalInterface functions to control the 3D animation from captivate quiz buttons. This process adds a whole new level of interactivity and visual interest to your captivates! -

White halo around exported flash gif animation
I am working on a Imac using Flash CS5. I can create a Flash animation with a transparent background
but there is a slight white halo around the images. How do I export a Flash animation as a gif with
absolutely no white halo at all. Is this possible? or wheneve you turn a vector to a gif there will
always be a slight white halo. I have brought the image into Photoshop and could painstakingly
use the eraser tool but there must be a way to mass assembly the process. I have tried Fireworks CS5
and Photoshop, whenever I open the Flash gif animation there is a slight white halo.
Look forward to the techy with the answer
thanks
PaulIf your document stage is white and you are not viewing the GIF on a white or light background then the halo is probably due to the antialiasing of the pixels at the edges of your graphics. The GIF format does not support alpha transparency, so you end up seeing the smoothed edges as fully opaque pixels. There are several ways to address this:
Uncheck the "Smooth" option for animated GIF export. This disables antialiasing, but sacrifices image quality.
Change your stage color to better match the background color behind the GIF. Medium gray can be an acceptable compromise for non-uniform or unpredictable backgrounds.
Use another file format that supports alpha transparency. On the web, the only real alternative is SVG, but the conversion is painful.
Manually remove those troublesome pixels from the animated GIF. Also quite painful. -

Try fixing the FLA doesn't reference root. Also make sure the
Loop option is
not selected in FLA options.

Flash Timeline Animation to Edge Animate CC?
I have a client with an old Flash CS4 Presentation file that uses Forms and Slides and they want to update their presentation to HTML. I am not concerned about the presentation functionality or shell as my developer will create a new one... But, the presentation contains a bunch of timeline animations that demo their product.
I don't want to export the animations out using the Canvas tag, or as a movie or image sequence.
I am new to Edge, but I am thinking this is the solution for the animations.
Is there a way to export/import these Flash timeline animations into Edge? Or even, at the very least, import the assets into Edge?
Thanks,
CarolWhat kind of animations do you have? If you have scenes in Flash you can reproduce that in Edge Animate with symbols. For small animations like a runner for example you can create a spritesheet with Flash and use it in Animate. You will have to use the clip tool and display on/off to set it up. Rigth now it takes several tools to go from Flash to Animate but Animate is quite adequate to reproduce what was done in Flash.

Flash CS3 Animation and Audio not timed properly when packaged.
I am trying to create a simulation with audio, mouse movement, mouse clicks and screen changes. When I play the movie in Flash, the animation and the audio are timed properly. However, when I package it, the animation falls behind the audio. I am using wavs for the audio - I've tried mp3s also.
I have a screen displayed with a mouse. The audio and a highlight indicate the next step, then the mouse moves and clicks the desired area - with a audio mouse click. The first "click" sound is pretty close to where it is supposed to be, but as the movie plays, it begins to occur earlier and earlier. So much so, that the audio starts to begin prior to animation is complete later in the move. This is not a real long demonstration, only about 1100 frames, but I notice the problem around frame 180.
Any suggestions?IE stinks. There's a huge performance difference when playing
SWFs in
Firefox and IE. We have seen SWFs reach 100fps in FF 3.0
while the same SWF
taps out at around 40fps in the latest IE browser. It's not
Flash, it is the
browser.

Integrating Flash HTML5 animation into Dreamweaver?
I've done a little work with Edge Animate and found it simple to implement an animation into Dreamweaver. However, my latest animation had to be done in Flash (plus I know that software a little better) and I notice CC now has an HTML5 canvas.
So if I create an animation in Flash CC on an html5 canvas, how would I go about using that on a dreamweaver page?
Or would I be better off asking in the flash forums?
Thank you in advance!Edge Animate has auto insertion features in DW. Unfortunately, there is no such provision for Flash HTML5 animations yet. So you must do it manually in code view. Take the Flash compiled code and insert the relevant parts into your existing HTML5 document. Ensure that paths to JavaScripts and CSS files are correctly pointing to your site folder and not files:/// on your hard drive.
Flash/SWF is not supported on mobile devices/tablets. That's why Flash/SWF is a dead web technology.

Question re Flash to Animated GIF
Hi,
I developed a simple animation for my home page. It simulates
a title being "typed" out one letter at a time the way it would
look if keyed in a program like MS Word. Once the words are
"typed," the .swf version of the animation stops, and the title
remains on the screen.
After creating the .fla file, it occurred to me that it might
make sense to export the file as an animated .gif so that folks
without the Flash plugin could see it.
However, as far as I can tell, I have only two options for
creating the animated .gif version: either have the animation
repeat, or have it disappear after it finishes.
Is there a way to convert to an animated .gif so that the
animation occurs once and then the title's words remain on the
screen instead of disappearing?
Thanks!
BillOK, the answer is to put "1" in the "Repeat" field in the GIF
publish settings. To me, that means it will repeat one time,
meaning it plays twice. I had put 0 in that field and that makes it
loop continuously.
That's the answer! -
Quality Poor in Flash to Animated GIF Export
1. How do I get a better quality Animated GIF from my flash
document.when i try to export it is very poor.
to be specific,I wanted to add a sparkling effect on an image
in my website.As seen in this tutorial page(
http://www.entheosweb.com/Flash/sparkling_effect.asp.)
I put my image and works finely in flash but quality is poor
when exporting to almost all file formats.
2.Is it possible flash content is displayed finely without
pageviewers are asked(prompted) to download flash player?
that is one case i need trying gif.
thanksWhat player version are you publishing to? Exporting to GIF
will remove a
lot of color data - no way around it. Flash player is the
most downloaded
plugin in internet history - i have never thought of needing
to export to
GIF over SWF format since I started using flash a decade ago.

Is there an alternative to flash for animation?
I have a flash sequence on a clients website but it is not friendly with the menu as it overlaps. It is also unfriendly on ipods, ipads and the like.
We need to retain the animation sequence and wonder if it could be converted into another format which would be friendly across other formats and to my menu
Thank you in advance for feedback
TerryDepending on what the animation consists of and your target audience, Edge Animate might very work well. However, Edge animations output to HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. Older browsers like IE8 and earlier won't see it. If that's your target audience, drop your images into a jQuery image Slider.
jQuery WOW Slider
http://wowslider.com/
jQuery Nivo Slider

Or use an animated GIF.
