Growing chart line, Flash CS4

Hello,
I want to make a growing line. Therefore I have an object without outlines that is angled like a stock exchange chart line. The object is imported (copy paste) from Illustrator.
I tried with shape tween with the same object form (not the same object) but different colour gradient (blue/white to solid blue). But this didn't do the trick. Looks more like changing the alpha value.
I want something like this (Last animation, yellow line).:
http://www.dundas.com/Components/Products/chart/NET/Why/WhitePapers/Animation.aspx
How can I realise this with flash? Is there a tutorial?
P.S.: I don't get the forum search. How can I search through just the flash forum?
Thanks,
Slodomir

Thanks for the answer.
The Problem is that I have multiple lines which overlay themselves.
I tried this:
I created two layers. In both I pasted the line. The line above is white, the one below is blue. But I can't manage to shorten the white line by cutting parts off. I just can compress the whole white object. Is there a function for trimming an object?

Adding 3 horizontal lines to a 2D Line flash chart

Hi
I have a nice 2D Line flash chart. I would like to add three horizontal lines (they are constant values) on the graph. These lines are thresholds for the values displayed on the graph.
I tried to add trhe series to the graph, it worlks well but the problem is that it slow down too much the process of computing of the chart
Here is my request, you see with the 3 series added :
DECLARE
X VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
x := 'SELECT NULL, TRUNC(DATE1, ''HH''), AVG(VALEUR) "Hauteur",
(SELECT SEUIL_BAS FROM SIVOA.SITE_ECHELLE WHERE SITE = '''|| UPPER (:p184_ename) ||''') "Seuil bas",
(SELECT SEUIL_ALERTE FROM SIVOA.SITE_ECHELLE WHERE SITE = '''|| UPPER (:p184_ename) ||''') "Alerte",
(SELECT SEUIL_ALARME FROM SIVOA.SITE_ECHELLE WHERE SITE = '''|| UPPER (:p184_ename) ||''') "Alarme"
FROM SIVOA.EVV_'
|| UPPER (:p184_ename) ||
' WHERE CLEF_VAR = (SELECT CLEF_VAR FROM SIVOA.SITE_ECHELLE WHERE SITE = '''
|| UPPER (:p184_ename) ||
''') AND DATE1 BETWEEN TO_DATE ('''
||:P8_DATE_DEBUT||'000000'', ''DD/MM/YYYYHH24MISS'') AND TO_DATE ('''
||:P8_DATE_FIN ||'235959'', ''DD/MM/YYYYHH24MISS'')
GROUP BY TRUNC(DATE1, ''HH'')
ORDER BY TRUNC(DATE1, ''HH'')';
RETURN (X);
END;Is there a way to add 3 lines without using a query ?
Thank you for your kindness !
Christian

Hi,
I have not solved but found an improvement, I select a constant from a table. This constant is displayed along the horizontal axis.
Example of constant :
(SELECT SEUIL_BAS FROM SIVOA.SITE_ECHELLE WHERE SITE = '''|| UPPER (:p184_ename) ||''') "Seuil bas",
DECLARE
X VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
x := 'SELECT NULL, TRUNC(DATE1, ''HH''), AVG(VALEUR) "Hauteur",
(SELECT SEUIL_BAS FROM SIVOA.SITE_ECHELLE WHERE SITE = '''|| UPPER (:p184_ename) ||''') "Seuil bas",
(SELECT SEUIL_ALERTE FROM SIVOA.SITE_ECHELLE WHERE SITE = '''|| UPPER (:p184_ename) ||''') "Alerte",
(SELECT SEUIL_ALARME FROM SIVOA.SITE_ECHELLE WHERE SITE = '''|| UPPER (:p184_ename) ||''') "Alarme"
FROM SIVOA.EVV_'
|| UPPER (:p184_ename) ||
' WHERE CLEF_VAR = (SELECT CLEF_VAR FROM SIVOA.SITE_ECHELLE WHERE SITE = '''
|| UPPER (:p184_ename) ||
''') AND DATE1 BETWEEN TO_DATE ('''
||:P8_DATE_DEBUT||'000000'', ''DD/MM/YYYYHH24MISS'') AND TO_DATE ('''
||:P8_DATE_FIN ||'235959'', ''DD/MM/YYYYHH24MISS'')
GROUP BY TRUNC(DATE1, ''HH'')
ORDER BY TRUNC(DATE1, ''HH'')';
RETURN (X);
END;
Perhaps a way is to customize the XML code generated.

Setting "Omit Label Interval" on 2D Line Flash Chart

Hi,
i have a 2D Line Flash Chart showing a few values or many values. (depending on the selected interval, eg. minutes, hours, days, week, months ..)
Unfortionatly if the flash chart has to show many values, the labels cannot be read (because they are too many)
In Section "Display Settings" i can set "Omit Label Interval", but i need to set this property dynamically - how can i do this?
kind regards
Günther

Hi Günther,
I used a similar example a while ago unfortunately for you I started the refresh when I clicked on a button:
Page header:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function fnc_UpdateChart ()
var v_region_id = $v('P1_REGION_ID').substr(1);
apex_RefreshChart ($v('pFlowStepId'),v_region_id , navigator.language );
</script>Region footer (from your chart region):
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
$s("P1_REGION_ID", "#REGION_ID#" );
</script>I had some trouble with the IE where the update didn't worked? I don't know if you will experience the same.
You would now need to integrate a timer. I made an example with an IRR: [http://apex-at-work.blogspot.com/2009/08/automatic-refresh-of-interactive.html|http://apex-at-work.blogspot.com/2009/08/automatic-refresh-of-interactive.html]
It's a beginning. Hope it helps.

FLASH CS4 LINES TO NONE SCALE

If I want to change the scale mode of a line in Flash CS4, I need to start flash cs4, select the line, in the properties I have to change the scale mode to None.
If I want to scale one more line, I need to save the file, close Flash CS4, restart it, select the line, change it in the properties.
Is there any way to use adobe flash cs3 with adobe design premium CS4 license? because the flash cs4 is a piece of s..., but all the
other part of cs4 is useful.
will Adobe make more patch for flash cs4 ???
or is it a dead end story??

Yes Kglad, that the little circle thing i was speaking about.
It is set manually to fit the design and if i select my item 1 by 1 and zoom them manually, it is working.
The bug is when you select them all ( AFTER setting all the registration point ) you will get another one that is not set, so even if you set it manually at that time ( when all is selected ) and THEN apply the zoom, it will no longer work.
thats the bug.

Flash CS4 does not allow importing .tif files

Hello, anyone know why Flash CS4 does not allow import .tif a few days to date. I worked very well and now he tells me something of a Swift 3D importer, but have not installed or that or any other programs lately, I also have QuickTime.
The truth is very strange that no permits, hopefully someone knows of that is due. Need help, please.
Thanks

That's exactly what I'm doing (since using 1 Graphic Symbol instead of 2). In my current Flash work I have a bunch of Classic Tweens and those all worked. But when I try a Graphic Symbol that's a line of text, then it suddenly doesn't work (the timeline does change color with an arrow, but the text stays the same size with the exception of the second keyframe where it promptly turns into what's in that one). I even tried a random Classic Tween just now making a rectangle grow to make absolutely sure I wasn't doing something wrong, and that one worked immediately no problem.
And never mind that. Now it does work. I suppose I indeed did something wrong. Thank you very much for the help!
Say, one small question: does Adobe Flash have a function to properly set video clips after each other in one big video clip? Or do you have to manually count the frames and add the video clips at the proper frame yourself?

How to move a keyframe from a Motion Tween in Flash CS4

I understand that motion tween is a new form of tween in CS 4 however I am unable to move a keyframe within the time line? am I missing something? I would hope I could select the keyframe (diamond shape) and move it around the timeline but apprently Im missing something.. I am not able to do a cut and copy either... is this normal behavior?
thanks
cheers
stephan

Thank you so much for getting back to me so quick. Work is chaotic right now or I would have replied sooner.
Anyway, my lines aren't actually 3D at all. Everything, including the box, are 2D. But that does give me an idea, once I'm more proficient in Flash if I decide to make this animation even better in the future.
I attached a screenshot of my homepage. You'll see a set of lines on the left side that surround a square with Sarah Knouse LeCroy inside. (That square is what I was referring to as a 'box'...probably not a good description.) I want that square to move down to the bottom left corner when you click on Portfolio, Contact or Resume. As it moves, I want the lines to collapse and fold together so that it looks like they're all neatly getting 'packed away' so that all that's left when viewing, say Portfolio, is an empty page with the square down in the lower left corner.
What is the best way to animate those lines in CS4? Most of the lines do not need to stay connected to the square as it's moving so I think I can just do a Classic tween for those. But the 3 diagonal ones DO need to stay connected to the box as it's moving. I was doing a motion tween and rotating/elongating each line in sections but they still didn't match up exactly in some places during the move. When I would try to go back and adjust a position I had set, it would just pop right back to the original position.
The last problem I'm having is an issue with getting this animation to play only when you leave the homepage and click to Portfolio, Contact or Resume.
But don't want to overwhelm so just answer what you have time for! Later, I could attach my main timeline so that you could see what I already have set up.
Thanks so much!

I am trying to experiment with Tweens and Easing Types in ActionScript 3.0, Adobe Flash CS4. help

I am using ActionScript 3.0, Adobe Flash CS4 software
I have created Tweens for some MovieClip properties and experimented with some of the easing types.
This is what I have managed to create and works okay!
grow_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, grow);
shrink_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, shrink);
rotate_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rotate);
hide_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hideClip);
show_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showClip);
fadeOut_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fadeOut);
fadeIn_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fadeIn);
function grow(e:MouseEvent):void {
var scale1:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "scaleX", Back.easeIn, 0, 1, 3, true);
var scale2:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "scaleY", Back.easeIn, 0, 1, 3, true);
function shrink(e:MouseEvent):void {
var oneSmall:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "scaleX", Back.easeInOut, 0, -.2, 3, true);
var twoSmall: Tween = new Tween(instrument, "scaleY", Back.easeInOut, 0, -.2, 3, true);
function rotate(e:MouseEvent):void {
var spin:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "rotation", Elastic.easeOut, 0, 360, 5, true)

function fadeIn(e:MouseEvent):void {
var tweenfadeIn:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "alpha", None.easeIn, 0, 1, 3, true);
I am having trouble creating Tweens and add easing types for the action script below!
I keep getting error message (“Access of undefined property Sine”) for example when I type
function hideClip(e:MouseEvent):void {
var noClip:Tween = new Tween(instrument, "visible", Sine.easeOut, 0, 1, 3, true);
Can anyone help???? The original script is below
hide_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hideClip);
show_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showClip);
function hideClip(e:MouseEvent):void {
instrument.visible = false;
function showClip(e:MouseEvent):void {
instrument.visible = true;

make sure you have imported the Sine class
import fl.motion.Sine;

How to Build a Preloader for Flash CS4 and Actionscript 3.0

With the wonderful help of many people on this site, I have successfully buit a nice website using Flash CS4. I am wanting to deploy the site this weekend and I'm working on the finishing touches. I would like to add a preloader so that the viewer will have everything loaded when the action starts. Can anyone suggest a good tutorial that shows how to make the simple "rotary lines" that are so popular? I've seen these and they look to be about an inch across and move like the hands of a clock. I think it may even say "Loading..." or similar. Since I'm still learning quite a bit, I did not know if Flash actually offers some "preloaded" tools for stuff like this? Or am I better off going to Lynda.com and taking a tutorial? Thanks for the help!

Dark Armor, You mentioned the book Adobe Flash CS4 Professional Classroom in a Book, which I have. I could not find anything in there. Did you mean to say Actionscript 3.0 for Adobe Flash CS4 Professional? I do have that book and it looks like there is information there. Just wanting to make sure that you meant what you said. Thanks!

Flash CS4 Sample Templates are missing

My sample templates are missing, all that shows now are Cateregory: Advertising and different size banners. I searched my harddrive and found the rood folder where they are stored but only the folder for Advertising exist.
I haven't deleted anything, so could it have been a glitch at installation, I had startup problems with Flash constantly crashing at the splash screen and finally had to uninstall and reinstall.
Running WinXP SP3.

Thanks for replying.
I do remember them being part of an earlier version maybe MX. Did some checking around as I was under the assumption they were part of CS4 due to some diagrams found on pages 264-265 of "Flash CS4: The Missing Manual". The bottom line is it is now listed in their Errata.

Newbie in hell...flash cs4 image

Hello everyone,
I must warn you I am an absolute beginner with flash, however am proficient in Illustrator / ps cs4 and now have flash cs4. I have a mountain of graphic work for a client and as part of this welcome work I've inherited a flash header that I need to finish for a website. The only problem is, I usually work in print and know nothing about flash, but would like to tackle this if I can. The inherited header is 980 x 230 with 8 images that fade in/out as they change over each other (morph). It was originally done in flash 10 using tweens but I gather flash has changed a bit with regards to this sort of thing.
I like to learn new things but I have spent HOURS online and just can't find out how to do this. I've had a good look around flash but unfortunately I just can't dedicate days or weeks to learning the entire program.
From what I can gather so far:
The images go into flash library (is jpeg ok or do they have to be BMP) then I need to convert them to symbols then they go into the timeline as layers ...OMG I guess my first question is..is this a fairly simple thing to accomplish or should I look at outsourcing it? I'm pretty good with the teaching myself stuff, but my biggest enemy is time. I've looked at the adobe tv tuts but didn't see anything like what I'm after (the image doesn't need to slide, it just needs to fade into another one).
I'm so buggered, hoping if I get some sleep some kind soul will either be willing to help, or tell me to forget it, either way helping to end my frustration!
Thanks in advance,
A bona fide Flash Dummie...
Lauren

I
don't have CS4 so I am not familiar with the new way of tweening, only
with what CS4 calls classic tweens, which is what I grew up with in
Flash. What I described for you is based on classic tweens.
While those in in the know
(a few) praise the wonders of the new tweens, general concensus in these
forums for those that question them is that trying/learning to work
with the new tweens is not straightforward.
As far as movieclip versus
graphic goes, neither is preferable over the other. Both will perform
in a tween. Movieclips are useful when you have more to do with the
object than just display it.
The difference with the motion tweens is that the motion tweens are built to be easily scalable and to provide a graphical interface for easily updating/editing the tweens visually (including path, timing etc). Classic tween is what you want for your project so you're on the right track. As far as the difference between a movieclip and a bitmap not mattering, well it depends really on the scale of the project but best practice is to go with the smaller class. The movieclip class is massive, one of the largest because it is a dynamic type and is near the bottom of the chain of inheritance on the flash displayobject list. So, the bitmap class would be probably like 1/10th the file size of the movieclip class, so go with bitmap. Since flash is primarily a web technology and I'm sure you're doing this project for a website, every byte matters. Imagine the difference in filesize is 5 kb just because of what classes you decide to use but you decide to deploy the project on a website with 5 million users. Thats 25 gigabytes of wasted bandwidth. Anyway that doesn't really apply to you because you're doing timeline tweens and the flash IDE will automatically import all of those bulky classes anyway, but it's good to keep in mind if you decide to pursue getting deeper into flash and working with actionscript.
Anyway it looks like you've almost got your project all sorted out but there is the problem with doing everything inside flash using timeline tweens. As you're aware, it's a pain if you need to update. Below is some basic actionscript you can paste inside of a new fla file. It's not the best example but I just kind of wipped it up and should be more than enough for you to pick apart and learn how actionscript 3 works in flash. So.. create a new fla set the stage to the size of your project (980 X 230) pixels. Create a new blank movieclip (might as well, read up) and give it an instance name of "imageContainer". That's it for setup in the FLA. In the same folder as the FLA create a folder beside the fla called images. Create a new text document inside that folder and name it "filelist.xml". In that list, paste this:
<files>
    <file filename="171_2784_2.jpg" />
    <file filename="165_2564_0.jpg" />
    <file filename="171_2690_2.jpg" />
    <file filename="171_2735_1.jpg" />
</files>
Copy all of your images for this project into the images folder. Now modify that XML to include the name of each file in the folder.
Now back in your FLA, click the first frame of the main timeline. Open the actions panel (view -> actions in the menu)
Now paste this into that frame:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.Strong;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
var listIndex:int = 0;
var nextImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap();
var listOfImages:Array = new Array();
var listLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
listLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, parseFileList);
listLoader.load(new URLRequest("images/filelist.xml"));
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var cycleTimer:Timer = new Timer(5000, 0);
cycleTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, beginImageCycling);
function parseFileList(e:Event):void
    //trace(e.currentTarget.data); //Uncomment this to debug and see what data is coming in
    var fileListXML:XML;
    try{
        fileListXML= new XML(e.currentTarget.data);
    }catch(e:Error){
        trace("The file list is either not well formed XML or not XML at all");
    var a:Number;
    //Get an XMLList object which will contain all of the children of the fileListXML
    var fileList:XMLList = fileListXML.children();
    for(a = 0; a < fileList.length(); ++a){
        trace(fileList[a].attribute("filename"));
        listOfImages.push(fileList[a].attribute("filename"));
    trace("Done parsing file list XML");
    beginImageCycling();
function beginImageCycling(e:TimerEvent = null):void
    imageLoader = new Loader();
    imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showNextImage);
    imageLoader.load(new URLRequest("images/" + listOfImages[listIndex]));
    listIndex++;
    if(listIndex >= listOfImages.length){
        //This will reset the index and begin looping from the images from the start
        listIndex = 0;
function showNextImage(e:Event):void
    trace("Image loaded, get ready to show it");
    nextImage = e.currentTarget.content as Bitmap;
    var tw:Tween = new Tween(nextImage, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, nextImage.alpha, 0, 1, true);
    tw.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, changeOutImage);
    tw.start();
function changeOutImage(e:Event):void
    while(imageContainer.numChildren > 2){
        trace("removing old images");
        imageContainer.removeChildAt(0);
    //Add the new image to the container, in this case the stage
    imageContainer.addChild(nextImage);
    var tw:Tween = new Tween(nextImage, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, nextImage.alpha, 1, 1, true);
    //Restart the timer to cycle images
    cycleTimer.reset();
    cycleTimer.start();
In the menu go to Control--->Play. That should do it, it should cycle through those images over and over. I'm at work doing this on my lunch I'll post a completed project/demo of this later when I get home and give you an intro to actionscript by covering the code I've put here. Anyway so now the benefit of doing things this way is that if you want to adjust the transition time, you simply go to the :Tween = new Tween lines and change this:
Strong.easeOut, nextImage.alpha, 1, 1, true);
to:
Strong.easeOut, nextImage.alpha, 2, 1, true);
Which will change the transition time from 1 second to 2 seconds. Or, say if you want to add new pictures, all you have to do is change that XML and copy in new pictures, something even your client could do (which is sure to make them happy).
Anyway I'll post later even if you don't need this anymore it may be useful to somoene else who finds this topic one day. .:)

Displaying Charts Without Flash

Is there an alternative to displaying charts in Flash or SVG format? I need to create unique 6 dynamic charts on one page... and HTML only offer Bar Charts.
Is there a way to custom code pie, line, and stacked bar graphs in HTML or some other tool?
Thanks!

Hello Brandon.....
I think a number of video editing software packages can
produce FLVs..
The main one I know of is Sorenson Squeeze alternatively try
looking for FLV compression, FLV Creation or FLV editing in Google.
Sothink Flash Video Encoder can also covert to FLV from avi,
wmv filel types
www.videodl.org will allow you to take YouTube and google
video and covert them to FLV.
Hope some of this helps.

Flash CS4 Quiz Template: Help Needed

My organization uses the Flash CS4 quiz template that is included within the eLearning suite. Everything works great. The quiz loads on the LMS, it gives learners' their scores, etc. The issue we're having is after the score is recorded within the LMS.
If a user fails the quiz, the LMS marks the quiz as 'Completed/Failed'. The LMS (Inquisic EX), then, moves the failed quiz into the 'Completed Courses' tab. I understand why it does this because the 'Completed' mark given refers to the learner having gone through all of the pages within the quiz; however, the learner failed the quiz. If the learner goes back into the quiz and passes it the second time around, the LMS continues to state 'Completed/Failed'.
Does anyone know why this would happen? Are there SCORM settings we ought to change within the source code provided by Adobe?
I really appreciate your help!!

I think this is what I'm having trouble with, did you figure
it out? I need help making checkbox text have multiple
lines.

Flash CS4 import shape from Photoshop CS4

Hello,
I'm using flash CS4 on a Mac.
Does any one know how to properly import shape objects from photoshop to flash. The problem is when I import shape objects from photoshop it turns the shape into a bitmap masked out by the photoshop mask. This forces me to then manually go and recreate the shape object in flash.
I have tried many settings but to no avail. Any help, suggestions, or even tell me they have fixed the issue in CS5 or CS5.5.
Thank You, Jacob

Have you updated Flash to 10.0.2?
Is the Illustrator file very large/insense number of vectors involved? (ie: if you watch Activity Monitor, does the memory usage grow until things disappear?)
How large/intensive is the FLA you're working on?
