How do I crop an image in Flash?

I've been croping my pictures to use in my flash in photoshop but I want to crop the pictures so they fit the size of my page in flash. Does anyone know how to crop pictures in flash?

There is no tool to crop the image, you can make an mask on it but still the whole image resides within the stage. May be you can break apart and remove the unwanted sides, but not for practice.

  • How do I crop an image to 3.5 x 5

    I'm trying to match the size and aspect ratio of an older photo.  The old photo was printed at 3.5" x 5.0".
    How do I crop an image with Aperture to 3.5x5.0?
    Thanks.

    When you crop, the only control is the aspect ratio. You can crop an image with a custom ratio by selecting "custom" at the bottom of the aspect ratio popup menu in the Crop HUD that appears while in the Crop command.
    The size only matters when you print the image. In the print dialog you can set the size in inches of the printed image. The dpi of the printed photo will depend on the pixel size of the image divided by the printed size in inches.
    If you want to control the exact dpi of the printed image, you'll need a pixel editor such as Photoshop.

  • How to place a still image for Flash Player for a website

    Hello,
    I have CS3 suite and am using Dreamweaver and Flash for a new project.  I am working on a website and would like to have small flash movies on several different pages.  I would like to know how to get a still image in flash player before the user clicks the movie so that they will not see a black box on the pages before and after they click the movie.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hi, You can go to this test site to see if you have Flash Player Installed on your 10.6.5 Mac.
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Then this link has info on how to Uninstall Flash Player (if needed) and Install the latest version. It is a step by step.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html  
    After reading that info and you just need to Install, then this link would be easier:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Flash Player is a browser plugin and as long as your browser is supported by Adobe Flash Player, then you shouldn't have any problem.
    Hope that helps,

  • How do you crop an image, then modify that cropping?

    This takes the cake for simpleton question of the day.
    Cropping an image in Illustrator or in InDesign is a breeze.
    But how do you control it in Fireworks?
    I make a selection with the marquee tool, go to edit and choose crop selected bitmap.
    Now, do you mean to tell me that there is no way to modify that crop after the fact?
    Can you at least delete the crop without deleting the image?
    This cant be this unintuitive.
    Surely Im missing something...

    Masks, yes, masks are great! If you just want to hide parts of your image from view, create a mask. Masks can be other bitmaps or vector objects. Create and position your mask object over your original bitmap. Select both then Modify > Mask > Group as Mask. You can easily undo the masking. White areas in a mask reveal the underlying object. Black or transparent areas in the mask cause your original image to be transparent for those pixels. Grey or semi-transparent produce a proportionally transparent result.
    There's also the Paste Inside option, where you can paste your bitmap into a vector shape. The nice thing there is that you can move your bitmap around. (I'm pretty sure, anyway. I don't use this feature.)
    Anyway. You have lots of options to remove or hide pixels. The approach you take depends on your needs and preferences.
    If you have an image to share and a goal to achieve, we might be able to advise you better.

  • How do I crop an image to WS TV aspect ratio 1.78:1?

  • How do I crop an image to print

    Please help. I have a horizontal image in lightroom that Im trying to upload to Shutterfly. When I upload it to Shutterfly, it crops some of the people out of it. I've tried everything to adjust the size in LR but it still keeps cropping the image. I'm trying to upload it to an 8X12 print.
    I've read everything on this & none of it works.
    WHAT am I doing wrong?
    Thank you!

    You must do the crop to 8x12 in Lightroom, if you want an 8x12 print.
    So, select the crop tool, and then from the dropdown menu, you can select 2x3 or 4x6 (they are equivalent to 8x12) ... I believe the dropdown menu actually shows 6x4 which is the horizontal layout.
    Then when you export this photo and print at 8x12, it will retain the crop you created.

  • How do I crop an image with a Clipping Mask using a circle instead of a rectangle?

    I watched Adobe TV Illustrator's tutorial about cropping images with a clipping mask. In the video, the presenter uses the rectangle tool with the clipping mask, and makes a reference that the circle or vector shape could be used, but I cannot figure out how to get the circle. 
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-illustrator-cs6/cropping-images-with-clipping-masks/
    I'm new to Illustrator and need step by step instructions!
    Thanks!

    Christine,
    As Larry said, and as I said in the first post:
    For a Clipping Mask, you just create a path, in this case a circle, and place it on top of the image, then select both and Object>Clipping Mask>Make.
    You can see the shortcut when you use the dropdown; it is Ctrl+7 for Windows.
    At least in the old days, you could also use Alt/Option+O+M+M (easy to remember, Object>Mask>Make).
    It is easy to skip/overlook the exact steps.

  • How to reduce full-size image in Flash photogallery

    I tried my hand at building a photogallery following along
    Colin Smith's "How to Wow" in Flash. Everything seemed to turn out
    great except when I click on a thumbnail to show the full size
    image, it appears bigger than the stage so you only see a part of
    it. I have tried reducing the size of the image in photoshop and
    replacing the original library image...no use. Can anyone suggest
    how to fix this so that it will show a image no bigger than the
    stage? To get a better understanding of what I am talking about,
    you can see it at
    www.keystonemkg.com/flashproblem.html
    Thanks in advance for the help

    You'll need to upload the folder with your images to your host, and then link to the image with that URL in Muse. For example, if you were uploading your image to "www.myhost.com/myimages/image.jpg," you could link the thumbnail to "www.myhost.com/myimages/image.jpg"

  • How to automatically capture thumbnail image of flash video

    I'm creating a sample website where users can upload videos
    in various formats, including flash. Most flash oriented sites that
    allow automated content also display videos in image form, so you
    can get a general sense of what you're about to watch. I'm
    wondering how this is possible. I have seen several references to
    programs and what not that allow you to manually do this, but none
    that allow this to be performed automatically. It sure would be
    annoying if users had to upload their own image file...

    *sigh* I'm guessing this means it's impossible, or that no
    one knows?

  • How do I crop an image?

    I have photoshop cs6 . How can I do it?

    In a very general answer to your question, since the most basic Photoshop instruction is kind of outside the scope of the forum, may I suggest using the Photoshop Help menu, choosing Photoshop Online Help, then entering Crop into the search box.  There's a wealth of information there, though at the moment the versions of Photoshop seem a bit jumbled up.
    A specific answer to your question is to do this:
    1. Open your image into Photoshop.
    2. Choose the Crop Tool from the Tools panel.
    3.  Either drag a rectangle around the part you want to keep, or use the little rectangular handles around the edges to move the edges in.  Move the edges around until you like the way the bright part, which indicates what will remain of your image after the crop, looks.
    4.  Press the checkmark near the top of the Photoshop main window in the options area to complete the crop.

  • How do I crop an image in acrobat XI

    Acrobat help says I can find the CROP function at tools > Page > Crop.  This path does not exist on my latest Acrobat version XI.  Where did it go?  How do I find it?

    Found it the answer.
    There was no Tools button.  I found the Tools button under Views -> Tool Sets -> Default Tools.  Clicking this turned on the Tools button.
    Thanks for the help.
