Flash Animation Has Artifacts

I created some character animation in Flash featuring two characters on a white background. When I export using the animation codec and bring it into iDVD 3, the everything looks fine. When I burn a DVD, the resulting video had occasional blips (large clusters of dark rectangles) which are very noticeable.
Was it the fact that the white background was pure white and not a tint of off-white? Is it the codec? This new project will be about 10 minutes in length, a good part of it line art animation (two characters again). It will have a toned background with the two characters. I may have to animate it in After Effects if it's a Flash problem.
Please let me know if there's some other workaround, or what may be causing the problem.. What I'm planning to do this time is bring the footage into Final Cut Pro and export using Compressor. I need to render on Wednesday
Thanks in advance.
Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   iDVD 3, Flash 8, After Effects 6.5

.. What I'm planning to do this time is bring the
footage into Final Cut Pro and export using
Compressor.
Keep in mind that the MPG-2 video out of Compressor
won't work in iDVD.
I suggest you render at 30 fps and not 15 fps.
Yeah, MPEG2 is only for DVD Studio Pro. I originally used the animation codec. I'll most likely do the JPEG codec, which seems to work for regular DV (I thought motion JPEG would make the file too big). I'll be animating at 30 fps.
Thanks for your response.

  • Converting Flash animations to .mov

    What is the best way to convert an animation created in Flash to a .mov file. I've tried the export movie command in the file menu, changing various settings in the publish settings in Flash and and in the Quicktime options boxes.  But the resulting .mov file has all kinds of fragments and artifacts. Has anybody had any luck creating animations in Flash and then converting them into a format that can be assemble in iMovie? Thanks.

    I updated my CS5 Applications on 4/25 and then tried publishing the Flash animation file that I was have trouble with and the artifacts in the .mov file had disappeared. I still have some artifacts in other files but they have improved. I don't know if the bug (in Flash or in Quicktime) was fixed or what happened I guess the lesson is to update frequently. If somebody fixed some thing, Thank you, dedmonds91

    Hello, I see that you have an option for images if you insert an image, you have a link to html page option
    But if you insert a flash animation , there is no link option?
    as some research i have found that I have to do it i flash itself.
    Why did you not create a link option for flash animations? as you have with images, a link option would be great for flash animations also
    Is there a code I can do in dreamweaver to link flash animations to a page.
    thanks, I dont know why dreamweaver flash animations does not have a link option? please put it in next release

    flash animations not visible on phone devices ? i see flash animations fine from my phone
    Don't know what phone you use or if what you're seeing is actually Flash, but Apple iDevices don't support Flash.  Never have and never will.

    Adobe has stopped further Flash development for mobile devices in favor of HTML5, CSS3 & JavaScript.  See Adobe Edge Preview. 
         http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/edge/
    Finally, from where I sit, Flash is a fading web technology.  But if it floats your boat, feel free to make a feature request.

  • Cannot View Flash animations after Installing Flash Player 9!!!!

    Ok I installed the new FLash 9 player... ever since I did
    this, all flash animations show up blank, no red x, nothing,m just
    plain ol empty space where the animation should be... I tried all
    the "so called" fixes, from adjusting the registry, to uninstalling
    and reinstalling with reboots, and same thing happens. Flash works
    fine in Firefox tho, but not IE!
    Someone please help! i know i am not the only one who has
    this problem. We have a few other machines here at work with the
    same issues!

  • Importing Flash animations

    Hello there
    I am about to start a project and the client would like to supply me with Flash animations. can I use these in FCP or does the client need to have these converted in to quick time movie files inorder for me to use them??
    Also I am look to increse my storage with an external hard drive, I already have a WD MyBook 250GB USB 2.0 drive but i find that when running with FCP i get a lot of dropped frames I belive that this is down to the data transfer rate through the usb2.0 port, My MacBook pro 15 wide is the 2.0ghz & only has a firewire 400 port should I get a epresscard with a firewire 800 port on it and get A firewire 800 drive? or can i get by with a firewire400 drive? I live in the uk and my budget for the HD is about £250. sorry if this question is in the wrong forum..
    Thanks for you help and advice
    Dai

    Your client can export from Flash by choosing File>Export Movie and selecting QuickTime Video as the format. The Animation compressor is a good codec and supports 32 bit alpha if needed.
    As for the dropped frames, I would guess USB is the culprit. A Firewire 400 drive would be a good start.
    Good luck.

  • Is Flash animation possible in iWeb?

    I've tried dragging .swf files I made in Keynote into iWeb, but they just show up in a movie player and not a self playing animation. It wouldn't even show the transitions I made. Has anyone figured out if it's even possible to add Flash?
    Maybe in March a Pro version of iWeb will debut along with the other new Universal Pro Apps. Here's hopin'. Other than that, iWeb is pretty dang cool.
    <http://web.mac.com/archstanton1862/iWeb/TrickRacing>

    I'm not privy to the details and deals made between Macromedia (now Adobe) that allowed QuickTime 4 play Flash version 3 formats. The QT 5 allowed version 4 of Flash. And, 6 allowed Flash 5. Seems they were always one version number behind.
    QuickTime 7 can't open Flash published higher than version 5, still. No version 6 support and nothing about Flash MX and newer versions (now up to 8, I believe).
    If you want to hide the movie controller (I do it all the time in my pages) just set the html code for controller="false" in both the object and embed tags.
    QuickTime also allows "progressive download" (a.k.a. Fast Start). Again, a simple html tag is all that is usually needed (autoplay="true") for this function to work.
    The feature of Flash animation that allows this speed is its use of "objects". Once created, they can be morphed into different shapes or reused without increasing file size. Video formats can't do that. And neither does your Keynote export even though it is in Flash file format.
    Vector graphics (scalable) are another Flash feature but QT can do some vector graphic formats (text files are an example).
    Flash files usually display quickly (small file size) and don't demand much on a CPU because of what they are. Nothing to do with the file content,
    Lastly, the Flash format was never intended for "video" formats. They don't do the colors (8 bit 256 colors is the normal limit of Flash) that most graphics now demand.
    http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/xmas/index.html
    One of mine from may years ago. Under 3MB's.
    Flash (and other tracks added using QT Pro) used. All in a .mov "wrapper".

  • Send score of flash animation in a slide of captivate 6.

    Hi,
    I want to insert a slide captivate named January 1 swf flash animation in which a score appears at the end of this swf animation. I will wish that captivate gets this score and place it on the slide named 2. Do you know how? I guess it must be programmed into the flash animation but what code returned for captivate know to interpret it?

    You may be able to use some of the original code.  A widget is also an SWF.  It just has certain code that Captivate requires in order for Cp to see it as a widget.
    You can either use Adobe's widget templates (see their Help doco) or you can use the WidgetFactory API by Tristan the Widget King:

  • How to flip a flash animation?

    Hi,
    Is is possible to play a flash animation flipped
    (horizontally mirrored), when embed on a HTML page? If so, how can
    I do this, in IE?
    Thanks.

    Hi, Rob,
    If I understand what you mean. I should set these vars while
    creating the flash movie, right?
    But that`s not exactly what I need, as I just get the .SWF
    made by someone else, and display then on my application. So what I
    need is something more like a param to the object tag or a
    javascript command that I could call from the HTML page, and then
    it would display that .SWF flipped.
    I'll try to explain why I need it.
    I have an application that accepts various formats, including
    flash (SWF), SVG, and static images. There is a requirement that
    the user should be able to see the application through a
    telepromter (something like this
    http://www.murrayhillstudios.com/murrayhillstudios_files/teleprompt03.jpg),
    and that`s why I must provide an option for him to flip the
    images/clips. I`ve used an embeddeb browser to display the SWF
    files. The flipping option has already been implemented for all the
    other formats, including the content on the embedded web browser
    that`s outside the flash plugin.
    Now, that (hopefully) it`d become clearer. Is there a way to
    go around that?
    Thanks.

  • Flash animations are out of the flash window limit ...

    When I place a flash animation in power point using breeze
    presenter, and I publish the presentation it is possible to see the
    animations that are out of the flash window limit …
    What can I do to make the breeze respect the flash limits and
    hide the animations outside those limits?
    Thanks!

    Just out of curiosity....is it possible that you've got
    elements in flash that begin OFF the flash stage and then animate
    ONTO it?
    There was a *funky* artifact of creating flash animations
    that played very strangely when imported into Breeze; there was a
    tech note about this, but I haven't found it recently. If your
    flash animation *must* be 200 x 200, then what I'd try is this:
    In flash, create a mask layer and be sure to have all other
    layers become masked by it. I realize that without seeing your
    animation, that it's probably "easier said than done"... However,
    the thing to note here is that by masking the stage in flash (and
    thus all the elements animated within it), you'll effectively kill
    the visibility of all visual elements that are off the stage.
    For what it's worth, I'd be happy to assist if you need
    further help. Just drop me a note using the private message
    function, or email me at [email protected]

  • Flash animation doesn't display on firefox

    I have three flash banners embedded with swfobject in a javascript slider (jquery bxslider plugin). Each banner has three ActionScript ExternalInterfaces:
    * calling restartBanner() from JavaScript restarts the animation so that I can restart it whenever the slide is selected
    * calling stopFlash() stops the animation
    * on the last frame of each banner, bannedEnd() is called so that I know when to proceed to the next banner
    Everything seems to be working correctly in Safari and Chrome, but in Firefox the last (third) banner doesn't seem to start playing. The weird thing is that even though you can't see the animation (it simply displays the first frame), at some point bannerEnd() is called, so internally the flash animation is working.
    At first I thought it's because the container with the banner is not visible and tried modifying the slide's DOM in hope of triggering a re-render and forcing the browser to start the animation (as seen in onSlideAfter method), but that didn't help. I don't have much experience with flash and couldn't find any relevant solutions or similar problems online, so I don't really know where to look.
    It's also not the issue of the one particular banner - if you change the order, the problem persists with the last (third) banner.
    I isolated the code from the rest of the page and it can be seen here: https://pang.fraktal.ee/~stepan/flash_banner_issue/
    As I said, the issue seems to only be with the Firefox browser, so it seemed appropriate to seek help here.

    Hi Stalaryn,
    Thank you for your question, I understand that you have three flash banners on your website.
    In your test the title and the span are different, but the active class is working. Its just that last div that is not loading. As well as the data target in the last tile is not as specific as the others, is it the url of the swf file? I can understand the frustration here.
    Can you please file a bug in bugzilla.mozilla.org under web compatibility with reference to your silder?

  • Overlay live video feed with flash animation

    I am using a webcam to allow people see themselves on a screen.  I would like to overlay the video with some flash animation (simple graphics of planes, cars etc.) going across the screen.
    How do I achieve this?

    Hi IEC,
    Having just finished an app that has two ROI overlay layers ontop of a
    static image, I might be able to give you some ideas. All of the below
    assumes that you know basic Labview programming.
    - I have not used IMAQ yet, and so am not sure what front panel control
    type will render the live video images. But, I'm not sure that matters.
    - If you can place an XY Graph over your video display on the front panel then we have it made
    - stretch the size of the XY Graph so that the plot area matches the size and placement of your video image panel
    - make the plot area of the XY graph transparent.
    - you can also make the border of the XY graph transparent
    - if you want a scale for your video then use the scale of the XY Graph to show the scale of your video images
    - then it's just a matter of defining the XY points of the ROIs that you want to plot on the XY Graph
    - if you want multiple ROIs then each can be a different color by making them different channels to the XY Graph
    - if you just want a few straight lines, and want to be able to move
    the lines around in realtime then you can get a little fancier:
           - turn on the cursor legend for the XY Graph
           - create two cursors for each line that
    you need (a start point cursor, and an end point cursor)
           - set the color and cursor style as desired
           - in your main loop:
                     - use the XY Graph "crsr list" property to get the XY positions of the various cursors
          - those cursor XY positions become
    points of line segments fed to the XY Graph to plot (draws a line
    between the cursors)
           - In realtime, as you move the cursors, the line segments move accordingly
    In my particular app I had to provide a mechanism for the user to
    create ovals, rectangles, polygons and freehand ROIs. Then I also
    needed mechanisms to rotate, pan or expand/compress the ROIs. This is a
    bit more challenging, but very do-able.
    Hope that helps,
    RMP

    +1 on that. I completely agree with you Nancy. But whats funny is most schools today have this as part of their syllabi which is a shame. I saw this high-end web technologies school whose motto is 'We shape the developers of tomorrow.' that does not have HTML5 or CSS3 as part of their Semester 1 or 2 but has Flash in 3 semesters. Whats more ironic is they're not even teaching game development (one domain where Flash may still survive) but their syllabi consists of Flash Website development! Lol!
    Like they say, What kids learn in college in their 1st year is already outdated by the time they enter their 4th year, thanks to ever-evolving technology!
