If you click the Pencil Mode tool which looks like an S, you should see the option for Straighten, Smooth and Ink.  Click on Smooth and you should then be able to use your Smoothing button.

  • Flash CS5 Newbie - Need help adding URL link to animated banner

    I apologize if this is a very basic question, but I am a newbie at designing in Flash. I have created a basic animation in Flash CS5 and I need to add a clickable URL link to it. I've tried a few tutorials that looked promising, but none of them solved my problem. I've tried a number of things including converting parts or all of the images to simple buttons or movies and linking them that way as well as typing in code for ActionScript 2 and 3, none of which were successful. The animation plays correctly when viewed in my browser, but when I click on it, the link does not work. I would prefer that the entire banner be clickable to take viewers to the linked website rather than using hyperlinked text. Also, when I open the Code Snippets window, it is empty, no matter what image or frame I've selected. Do I need to import code snippets from somewhere or am I simply going about things the wrong way? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    It all depends whether you're decisively using AS2.0 or AS3.0 .
    In the latter, you would need to use a URLRequest() method in conjunction with a navigateToUrl() call (not sure the exact syntax for navigate to Url, it might be a capitalized "URL" in the method but the request takes a String argument such as http://www.adobe.com)

  • Flash cs5 trial doownload help!

    I want to download the trail version of adobe flash cs5 to see if it's worth buying. I can see that the download takes about 2-3 hours depending on your connection. So when I start downloading I leave the computer so the download can finish, come back in couple hours, and shake the mouse to see if my download is done. It says it's paused at (Different places each time.) So I press continue and the download starts all over again... Can anyone help me with this?!

    Tried that. When I click on File 1 it says Access Denied, You don't have permission to access this on your server...

  • Flash cs5 Timeline tools with MAC

    I have learned from a video tutorial (Flash CS5 in the Family 23: Banner Ad Part 1)
    to use the F5 key to set the length of a time line of a particular image.
    When using the F5 key on the MAC keyboard, it will only allow for the audio to be worked with.
    I've tried Apple+F5, Option+F5, Ctrl+F5 etc.
    What am I missing?

    click edit/keyboard shortcuts and create your own shortcuts or, even easier, right click over the timeline (or anything else in flash) to see a context menu that will let you do what you want.

  • After Effects CS5 Puppet Tool help

    Okay, so I have a looping animation where I use the puppet pin tool to move everything.
    It stops on the final frame, and I want to create a new composition using the last frame.  (A new composition that starts from the final frame of the current composition)
    How would I go about using that?
    Thanks in advance!

    That depends entirely on the structure of your composition. One option would be to duplicate your current comp then nest your current comp inside the t he duplicate and adjust the timing. Another option would be to duplicate your composition in the project panel then open the duplicate, select all the layers, press the UK twice to reveal all change properties, Then grab the last keyframe in each layer and drag it to the first frame.
    Neither of these techniques will work with all projects. For a guaranteed solution we need to know the entire structure of your composition and your workflow.

  • Flash CS5 Greeter.cs HelloWorld.fla text type Dynamic not an option? ActionScript 3

    Learning to program in ActionScript 3 for Flash CS5 Pro,
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/learn/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9b90204-7fdf.html
    The tutorial says that the text box, should be text type Dynamic, but the only choices are TLF and Classic
    Since the Classic closed the Instance name box, I chose TLF text.
    When I test the scene, I get a blank screen, instead of a "Hello World" greeting.  Is there a way around this?

    I had the class file in the wrong directory, and so now it works!  Thank you for looking.

  • Can I install/buy a Flash Catalyst plugin and run it on CS3 or would I need to buy Flash CS5 too?

    I use CS3 in my company and they're not prepare to spend more money on a whole new adobe package. I'd love to use the advantages of catalyst but not sure I can just puchase it on its own or f I need to buy Flash CS5 too. any help?

    Flash Catalyst is available as a stand alone product. However without CS5 versions of Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, you will be unable to do any visual round tripping of the assets. Also you might need Flash Builder to extend your work beyond the capabilities of FC.

  • Brush and Pencil tool not working in Photoshop CS5 trial

    I dowloaded the Photoshop CS5 trial yesterday 2 days ago. Everything worked perfectly yesterday. Unfortunately, today...the brush and pencil tool doesn't work. Anyone have any idea why?

    We need a few more details like what doesn't work

    Provide a screenshot if you feel that would help illustrate the problem.

  • Flash CS5 Crash help

    Anytime I try to open Flash CS5 it crashes while initializing tools.  I have more than enough RAM and space on my computer to successfully run Flash but it keeps crashing and therefore I cannot open any of my .flas to edit.  Can anyone help or give suggestions in anyway possible?   All help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

    Would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums?  This forum is primarily for Flash Player end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with the Flash Pro CS5 team who will probably have additional questions for you.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • CS5 Select Tool crash Flash on Snow Leopard

    I can't select anything in a tool windows. With one fla opened, i select "ESSENTIAL" in workspace, the interface, turn on, but when i select a draw tool orchange any preference on Flash CS5 Trial on Snow Leopard, the flash allways crash and close without message. The image show the tools "closed" and the erro in Apple System.
    Anyone could help me?

    Hi,
    If you create a new user account on that machine and login as that user, does Flash still crash?  A new user would have different preferences, fonts, etc. which could help narrow down the cause of the crash.
    Thanks,

  • HELP!!! Adobe Flash CC pencil and paint brush not drawing properly!!!

    Hi, The paintbrush tool and the pencil tool draw upside down when I am using my graphics tablet, and I know it's not the tablet that's the cause because it works perfectly in paint and photoshop cc, it's just flash cc that has the issue!! how do I sort this?? Please Help!!! I have uploaded a video describing the issue, with the first program showing Flash Pro CC and the second showing Photoshop CC, but basically it's only the pencil and the paintbrush that are affected, the cursor is properly in sync, as you can see by the use of the square and the line tool. Go to 0:50 to see the issue straight away, though try to watch from the start as I demonstrate that the pen works well with other tools in flash cc.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    Cant offer you much advice but the same thing happens on my tablet.
    It works in paint but it does not even draw in flash.
    But since it does draw in yours why don't you try resetting preferences or exploring your stylus setting in flash for finding the root cause of your problem.
    See if you can post a screenshot of your stylus settings to me if resetting preferences does not work.

  • Why does Flash CS5 crash when I try to select a tool?

    I am using Flash CS5 on Mac OSX (version 10.6.8). It's the first time I've used Flash but am following a basic tutorial to create a christmas card with a falling snow effect. I've managed to import a picture as a background and add a layer on top which I planned to add the snow onto.
    When I try to select any tool from the toolbar, Flash crashes with no explanation. Has anyone else had the same problem? Any ideas how to fix?
    Thanks,

    Is the product up to date (Help->Update)? If so, is reinstalling a possibility?
    It doesn't appear to be a new issue but in that post the user suggested creating a new user (to clear system prefs). Can you try that?

  • Can't manipulate symbols with Flash CS5 3-D rotation tools:

    Please help! I am just learning to use Flash CS5 Professional (aided by the "Flash Basics" tutorials of Lynda.com). I am presently trying to manipulate symbols as motion-tweens with the 3-D rotation tool found in the Flash toolbar. At the moment I'm trying to take a single word originally created as text, now a symbol, and animate it with motion-tweens so that it appears to be twirling on its x axis or y axis as though it's tumbling through the air like a coin.
    My trouble is that I can successfully get the symbol to motion-tween itself through one half of a single rotation. But nothing I try seems to work to have the symbol complete its rotation all the way around without the symbol wanting to suddenly flip and rotate in the other direction to complete the full 360 degree rotation. Every trick I use, the symbol wants to tween back the way it came to finish its rotation. This is happening whether I try to rotate type as a symbol, or whether I use other objects (rectangles, ovals, etc.) I've created and then converted to symbols and then movie clips (which I have done in all cases). No matter what I try, this program is not cooperating. What am I doing wrong. My Flash CS5 often behaves as if it's buggy (I'm running it on a brand new state of the art iMac, with the latest version of Snow Leopard as my OS). But even with all it's other little bugs, restarting Flash doesn't seem to clear up this mystery. What am I doing wrong? Any advice would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks for writing back. No, I have not found anyone but you to even respond to my query. So much for the helpfulness of Adobe's much touted forums website.
    Yes, you have articulated the problem nicely. This is exactly the trouble I am having with the 3-D tool!!! I've tried creating in-between key frames to help guide the correct/desired rotational movement, but even with these key frames, the motion-tween invariably "glitches" the rotation animation back to link to the original key pose the wrong way. I've tried full rotation of both type and objects via various axis, and this problem always surfaces. Seems like such a simple thing to tween for the 3-D tool. But my Flash CS5 is not up to the task, apparently, --and neither it seems are Flash Adobe Forum readers.
    It's so sad that Flash is treated by Adobe like such a ******* child. Once Adobe's brand was synonymous with workhorse programming, and the integrity to fix what was wrong with a program quickly to make it better. But most of my professional colleagues warned me to stay away from BOTH Flash CS3 and CS4 because of their unreliability issues!!! What a sad state of affairs for Flash. Cartoon animators like me are crying out for a program which does what Flash does, minus the crashes, glitches, unreliability, and counter-intuitive user interface Flash has become infamous for. Industry wide, Adobe has gained the reputation of having turned its back on the animation community, because "there are not enough of us to matter monetarily." And so, by extension, it has left itself and it's ailing Flash program ripe for being bested by some hungry developers with the concern and the attention to give to perfecting a 2-D animation software program which actually delivers what it promises. 
    I keep clicking the "software update" button in my Flash program, thinking Adobe's next update will actually improve its performance. Dream on...

  • Flash CS5 crashing when selecting tools, Mac 10.6.6

    I've just installed the trial version of Flash CS5, but as soon I select a drawing tool (Pen, Line etc.) Flash just immediately quits.
    I'm running OS 10.6.6 on a MacBook Pro that exceeds the system requirements, and have updated Flash to version 11.0.2.489.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem or knows of a solution? I'd really appreciate some help as Flash is unusable at the moment.
    Thanks,
    James.

    OK so I have managed to at least add objects to the stage by logging in as local admin on my machine. However I'm still incredibly disappointed with the stability of Flash. Using it today it has crashed at least 10 to 15 times, clicking anywhere in the app will often cause it to hang for a few seconds, after which it will continue or usually crash.
    I cannot believe that this is the state of the software, there must be something I can do to improve it.
    Please help,
    James.
