Flash CS4/ anti-aliased options

Does anyone know if there are options to turn off
anti-alising when importing Ai files/ text, etc?
~nate

Well, since Flash CS4 isn't officially released, the only
people who have it are official beta testers or people who somehow
got an illegal copy of one of the beta versions. If you're not one
of the beta testers, it may not be such a good idea to go
announcing on the official Adobe forum that you have a copy.
But Adobe has released the Help files for CS4, which can be
found online (I think there was an announcement on this forum last
week), so you might discover the answer to your question
there.

BRIDGE CS4: Anti-aliased preview

Hi,
Does anyone know if there's a setting somewhere to force Bridge to
produce an anti-aliased preview? I've got a folder with 1000's of vector
eps files and when I browse with Bridge they look off-putting because
they're not anti-aliased.
Thanks,
Ariel

you cant change the anti-aliased setting and non AI created EPS's will always look a little aliased. You can change the thumbnail and preview quality settings tho...

Photoshop CS4 Brushes not Anti Aliasing properly

I've just set up CS4 and my brushes are not anti aliasing properly. There are no soft edges on any of them. I'm able to get a pressure sensitive opacity change on the stroke but the edges are all pixelated.
Here is an image (this is a soft brush. notice none of the feathering/anti aliasing is there):

I've updated the newest gpu drivers for my Nvidia 8800 GTS.
I'm running XP SP3 with dual monitors. An Apple 30" and a Cintiq 21"
I've tried placing the main photoshop window on both monitors (one at a time) to test if that was causing it and i've had no luck.
All of the options in my GPU Enabled are currently unchecked (since they were giving me lag issues on my brush stroke when they were checked).
Any help (even linking me to something similar in this forum) is greatly appreciated.
Cheers-

Definitely not file dependent. I'll open a photo in sRGB 8bit, or create a new document with any settings from cmyk/rgb/bw 8/16 etc.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with my Nvidia Display Property utility. I use it to gamma up my secondary monitor (cintiq). Although disabling that utility didn't resolve it..
I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling tonight if no one is having similar problems. Maybe that will fix it.

Flash 9 Text Not Properly Anti-Aliased In Flash 10

I use Flash CS3 to author .swfs for Flash Player 9. recently
i noticed that Flash 10 is not displaying the anti-aliased text
from Flash 9 content correctly.
See image (link:
http://i717.photobucket.com/albums/ww175/chunk1978/Picture3.png
). The above image is Flash 9 text playing in Flash 10. The bottom
image is Flash 9 text playing in Flash 9. The removal of the fine
coloring makes the text much sharper looking. It's not ideal,
especially for smaller text of size 10 and below.
Is there anyway i can create a Flash 10 file using Flash CS3?
I've tried using the trial version of Flash CS4 to do this,
but it really doesn't play nicely with my current CS3 project. LOTS
of "missing fonts" as well as the working stage not rendering
correctly in the program. I'd rather avoid CS4 all together as it
seems littered with issues, and i'm in no position to start from
scratch.
any help would be very appreciated.

Have you checked the font?
Are they the same fonts in Word and Pages?
Some applications maintain their own font folders.
There is also a possibility of font clashes, a problem with OSX having dfonts, ttf and sometimes otf fonts all with the same name. OSX is a bit of a mess with font management (as well as color management).

Flash 8 - text in actionScript window is not anti-aliased

I just moved over to Flash 8 and the text in the actionscript
window is not anti-aliased like it is in 7. Is there a preference
setting somewhere that I haven't discovered yet?
thanks

I don't think so.

Possible bug in Illustrator CS4 text anti-aliasing in Save for Web and Devices

Hello all,
This could be a bug... if so, I'd be happy to add it to Wade's bug list a few messages down the stream.
Here's what's happening: when I create small text using a very thin font (in this case, Helvetica Neue Light), the Pixel Preview gives a noticeably different anti-aliasing solution to the actual output from Save for Web & Devices. I'm attaching an original .AI file as well as a screenshots of what I'm getting in both situations.
I'd really prefer the Save for Web and Devices output to look exactly like the Pixel Preview. The font looks great in Illustrator but loses a lot of its punch when I Save for Web.
---Peter

In the Svae for Web and Device under the image tab where it says art Optimize that is a drop down menu select Type Optimize as such
htis is what it lloks like in AI and a browser when you choose Type Optimize
This the difference between Art Optimized and Type Optimize
That is what is happening to you you are selcting Art Optimize and that is the reason when you choose art optimize aqnd you rraster the image it looks right to you.

Adobe Flash CS4 export image default format and dialogue default option

Dear Adobe users and programmers,
I would like to ask You whether there's a way where I can set default format of exported image from Adobe Flash CS4. Here's image describing what I mean:
And than I want to have default dialogue window set to "Yes" except "No" in rewriting old data:
Is it possible to set it in program, or override in registers somehow?

CS5 bug rendering anti-aliased text in 'Save for web'

Seems like there's a bit of a bug when using 'Save for web and devices' with thin weights of type in CS5 for Mac. Although thin type looks fine while working in Illustrator, as soon as you enter the 'Save for web' dialogue, it gets badly mangled. Looks like this issue has been present at least since CS4. It does not happen in Photoshop. It looks particularly bad for light text on a dark background.
Some people may say "sure, Illustrator is not really meant for intensive bitmap work". However, with features like 'pixel preview' and 'snap to pixel', Illustrator has (generally) become a very viable tool for web design, and personally I much prefer it to Photoshop. It is also clear that Adobe intends it to be usable in this manner. So the anti-aliasing render bug is definitely a problem. Just surprised they didn't address it when CS5 was born.
I put up some example images on http://www.thesheep.co.uk/2011/06/24/illustrator-save-for-web-anti-aliasing-problems/ to illustrate the problem.
Does anyone have any clever work-arounds for this? It's a bit annoying to have to move stuff over to PS before exporting, but maybe that's what I have to do. Hopefully Adobe will address this soon.

Hi,
I am experiencing this same problem of pixelated gifs when I use the "save for web" dialog from Illustrator, but this solution has not worked for me. I have tried the trick of using type-optimized anti-aliasing, but it doesn't change the output at all. I've done this from within the "Image size" tab as well as through Effect>Rasterize>Options)Anti-aliasing: Type Optimized. My image is a logo made entirely from text, although for some of it I used "outline path", so I'm not sure if it still qualifies as text...I'm a newbie at this stuff, so the technical details are still quite opaque to me.
Does anyone know of a solution to this that does not require me to add Photoshop to my workflow?
I'm using Illustrator in CS5, version 15.0.2.
Thanks in advance

Why does scroll wheel temporarily kill anti-aliasing?

I have an odd display problem within inDesign. I have anti-aliasing turned on. When I use the hand tool or scroll bars to move around my document, the newly revealed area is drawn correctly and quickly. But when using my mouse scroll wheel to move around a document-- horizontal scroll especially-- the revealed parts of the document are not anti-aliased (and drop shadows are not drawn). I can switch to the text tool, edit my copy, switch to the cursor and move/change objects, whatever I want, but anti-aliasing does not re-activate. Then the instant I use the hand tool or drag a scroll bar, suddenly everything is redrawn correctly once again. I have tweaked my display performance sliders several times, but no matter what quality settings and options I use, I can see that the problem is still there.
Very annoying when I'm zoomed in looking at where I want a drop shadow to appear ... turn on its settings in the dialog box ... WHY WON'T IT GIVE ME MY SHADOW!? Oh, wait ... jiggle the page with the hand tool and suddenly it appears.
I am not getting an error message. Hardware acceleration is working in Photoshop. Downloaded the latest version of Logitech Setpoint software; that didn't stop it.
My system: InDesign CS4 ver. 6.0.4 on Windows Vista 64-bit; Logitech MX Revolution mouse; Dell 2209WAf monitor; ATI Radeon HD 4800 graphics card (already upgraded to more recent driver; didn't fix the issue).
I doubt it's the mouse itself; I use the same model at work (where we have CS2) and I've never had this happen there.
Help!
Ross Hight

Wish I could help but I am also experiencing the same problem. I just installed the newest video card drivers, however the problem still exists.
64-bit Vista SP2
CS 4
Quadro fx 3800
I have the same monitor as you and use a logitech mouse.
I didn't know about the jiggle trick though, helps a bit.
Thanks.

How can I mask on flv file in flash cs4?

Hi,
I am new to Flash CS4. I saw one video on how to use flv file in flash and mask it. It is working fine when I am using the following option while importing a video file to flash:
Load external video with playback component
But when I tried with the following option it doesn't show the background, it shows only movie which is playing nicely. But not the background which has a bill board.
Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline
It seems the mask is not working with this option.
How to solve this problem? Please help.
Actually it should be like the above.
But when I am using the option Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline while importing the flv video, getting the result like below: It is not showing the Bill board as above.
See the layers created:

Hi,
I Tried with CS4 by creating mask layer and importing video , layers created were same as you have created and it is working for me .

How to Make Dreamweaver CS4/Flash CS4 Website Function on all Latest Mobile Devices

Hi
To add to what Gramps has said, Adobe has ceased developing its flash player for ALL mobile devices so do not use Flash for any mobile device.
Depending on the complexity of your Flash program you may be able to recreate it using Edge, but the code generated by Edge does not work in IE8 or below.
For details on Edge, see - http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/edge/

There is no simple code to add that will display the same on all mobile devices....
you do know that the iProducts (iPhone, iPad, etc) don't display Flash at all, right?
So as a start for "functioning on all latest mobile devices" you should drop any Flash content you have and move on.

How to Display an Alert or Dialog Box in Flash CS4?

I would like to have a quick message displayed on the screen for a few seconds after a user clicks a button. I can't seem to find an Alert Box or Dialog Box option in Flash CS4...can anyone help?
Thanks.

as2 has the window component. and for both as3 and as2 it's pretty simple to create your own movieclip to use as an alert window.

Flash CS4 not working with Windows 7 64bit and Kaspersky Internet Security

I have a new i5 core computer running Windows 7 64bit retail. With Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 installed Flash CS4 becomes so unresponsive that it is completely unusable. Uninstall KIS and it works absolutely fine. I've already read on another forum that someone else is experiencing the same issue with the same combination of products. Is anyone else having this problem amd if so how did you solve it? I've posted on the Kaspersky forum with no solution thus far.
Does Norton work OK with Windows 7(64) and CS4?

*** PROBLEM SOLVED ***
Taxxem you are a star. Ideed turning off 'disable external service control' and disabling 'self defense' under 'settings -options' does indeed bring Flash back to life. Disabling self-defense had the most impact (and causes Kaspersky to grumble somewhat) but disabling external service control also had an impact, albeit much smaller. I'll post this solution against my Kaspersky forum post and hopefully they will do something about it.

Flash CS4 won't export to .mov PLEASE HELP ME!!

Like the title says, i've been trying to export my .fla as a .mov from the Export>Export Movie option in the File menu. It will start exporting but once the progress meter gets to the end it just stops and never finishes.
I don't think it has anything to do with:
A: multiple scenes
B: actionscript directing to each scene
C: movieclips
since I was doing the exact same thing in CS3 without a problem.
What i'm doing now in CS4 that I wasn't in the CS3 version:
A: Motion tweens
B: importing .ai files to my library
C: using symbols created for flash in illustrator from imported .ai files.

Thank you Zombie. Specifying the length helped me export as a quicktime movie.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a rubbish piece of coding in Flash CS4 that doesn't let you export a movie over 1 minute long without specifying the length of movie.
Ridiculous really. I expect this could be fixed in seconds by Adobe, but instead I'm left trawling the internet for hours wasting budget.
