How to edit vector in Flash?

I've imported a vector graphic from AI into my stage. When I click on the vector graphic that's been converted to movie clip symbol and drill down to the vector level, as soon as I insert a keyframe in the timeline, I no longer can use an eraser to edit the vector graphic. It automatically move up one level as soon as I insert a keyframe. Does anyone have any idea why I'm getting this behavior? I want to create a hand written effect with this vector grachic. This is frustrating. It's not behaving like it suppose to be. If I draw a vector square on the stage, convert to movie cli, double double click the movie and then I am able to edit or change the vector shap but that's not the case with the imported AI file.

Okay, I've noticed something. Whenever I import an AI file into Flahs, parts of the vector graphic has turned into bitmaps <Mesh> and so; therefore, I can longer edit it in Flash. Any reason why this is happen? Arent vector graphic suppose to maintain its vector property?

  • How to Edit a Missing Flash Image?

    I was given a flash project to edit. I have to edit one image in Photoshop, but when I right click on it and choose Edit with - Photoshop, an error message comes up saying "The file G:Web-02\Site\film120902.gif does not exist, unable to launch external editor". I don't understand how Flash can list the image and display the image when I click on it, yet it doesn't exist. I tried to copy the image and paste it in photoshop but it only pastes a very low resolution version of it. What do I do?

    Think of your Flash doc as sort of a table of contents.... listing all the stuff that is (suppose to be) in the book. It does not become a .swf until it is "Published" or "Control/Enter" to create a .swf.
    But nobody knows if one or more of the pages have been ripped out.
    So if you cannot edit that image because it no longer exists, see if there is a version of the .swf or Web page that actually displays the image in the size you need. Then "Print Screen", open PS, File, New, Edit, Paste...there is a screen capture.. crop out what you need and edit from there.
    Best of luck,

    Drag a sound to the Stage. You'll see it appear in a

    inside that keyframe and look to the Property inspector.

  • How to edit F4V from Flash Media Server?

    I'm using FMS 4.5 to record a live stream from a webcam. Because of the poor quality when also recording audio on the same stream, I have to use two. So, I end up with two .f4v files - one with the video, and one with the audio. I need to then combine them into a proper video. However I cannot import these files into Premiere - which is quite goofy. Anyone know how to manage this?

    Well, there is definitely something weird with the file.  I couldn't find what, though.

  • How to Edit PSD Files In Flash Template

    Hi Everyone,
    I am new to flash and I am trying to create my first flash site using a template that I have downloaded. I can edit the first page fine, but when I click the "about us" or any other section, the standard template text, Which isn't even in english, appears. I believe that these are psd files, and I have tried to edit them, saved and replaced file on my computer, but still I get the same unchanged text on this site when I preview. Could someone please tell me how to edit and replace these files within the flash movie?

    Instance names are the reference names that you give to the individual items on the stage. Only movieClip and button symbols can have instance names.
    When you import a photoshop file to Flash you will get individual bitmap objects on the stage and in a folder in the movie's Library. You will need to select each item, one at a time, on the stage and convert each one to a symbol. When you make that conversion the name that you give to that new movieClip or button is the name that you will see in the Library.
    When you select that new symbol on the stage, look at the Properties window. You will now see a space at the top where you can give that item an instance name. The instance name is what you will use in Actionscript to control that object on the stage.
    When you look in the movie's Library, you will see the original bitmap and the symbol that you created that contains that bitmap.
    Does that help?

  • How to Edit Flash Symbol in Photoshop?

    In Flash CS4, I have a graphic of a long filmstrip with 24 pix in it. I need to edit the symbol in photoshop (to put all new pix in), and then replace the current filmstrip with the new filmstrip. How? This is CS4, not CS5.

    Add an image to a folder with your fla, image folder(with image inside) and then re import image to stage again then try 'EDIT' the file!

  • How to edit bitmap which is imported in flash using xml and save the edited bitmap back to xml in flash.

    hi all
    It would be appreciated if any one let me know how to edit
    bitmap which is imported in flash using xml and save the edited
    bitmap back to xml in flash.
    Is it posible to save the bitmap data in flash?
    thanks in advance

    Yes you can... but like I said before you need to upload the
    data from the changes you make to a server.
    In terms of the solution... its unlikely that you'll find one
    specifically for your needs. You will have to learn whatever you
    don't know how already and maybe adapt some existing examples to
    your needs.
    To change the visual state of a movie clip... you just do all
    the regular things that you want to do to it using flash... scale,
    rotation, drawing API , textfields etc in actionscript. If you
    don't know how to how to do that stuff, then you need to learn that
    first. That's basic actionscript.
    You can capture the visual state of a movieclip using the
    BitmapData class. That includes a loaded jpeg. You can also
    manipulate bimatp data using the same class. You should read up on
    that if you don't know how to use it or check out the examples
    below for uploading info.
    For uploading to the server:
    Here's an as2 solution that took 15 secs to find using
    google:
    http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000645.php
    If you're using as3, google search for "jpeg encoder as3" and
    look through that info. There are also historical answers in the
    forums here related to this type of thing that might help as
    well.

    Hello,
    as the topic says.
    How to edit an existing vector in perspektive tool
    Got an Domino Stone Vector and want to put in another perspective and dont know how!?
    Thx in advance for help

    Before putting complex art in perspective grid, ALWAYS create a symbol first.
    You can only rotate perspective layers (and the art) around the vanishing points. You cannot change perspective or move the vanishing points (at least not if you want to artwork to adapt to it).

    Step 1: Load files
    First copy the MOD file from your video camera to your hard drive, then download, install and run MOD Converter, click the "Add Files" button to browse your computer hard disc and load the MOD/TOD video files you want to convert to the program. 
    Step 2: Output Setting
    In the bottom of the main interface, select an output format supported by Windows Movie Maker for each video file and specify a directory on your computer to save the output files. 
    Step 3: Start convert
    Click "Start" button on right bottom of the main interface, you are allowed to start conversion. 
    Step 4: Import converted video to Windows Movie Maker
    Click on "File". Then click on "Import". A window will appear. In the window, navigate to the video clip you converted just now. Then double click on the file. You'll see the icon for the file in your Windows Movie Maker "Collections". 
    Part 2: How to edit the video with Windows Movie Maker
    Step 1: Add transitions and special effects
    In the Movie Tasks pane, under Edit Movie, click View video transitions. 
     Preview transitions by double-clicking them and watching the Preview Monitor. Once you've found a transition you like, drag it from the Video Transitions pane, under Edit Movie pane to the box between two of your clips. This inserts the transition between the two clips. 
    Step 2: Add titles and credits
    If you want to add a title before, after, or on top of a clip, click the clip on the storyboard or timeline.
    In the Movie Tasks pane, under Edit Movie, click Make titles or credits.

    In the Movie Tasks pane in Movie Maker, under Capture Video, click Import audio or music. 
     In the Import File dialog box, click the name of the song you want to use in the background. Then click Import. This adds your song to your collection but does not add it to your video. Drag the song from the collection to the video clip where you want the music to start playing. 
    Step 4: Add narration
    If you have a desktop computer, connect a microphone. Microphones are available from most electronics stores. If you have a portable computer, you can use the built-in microphone. However, you will get a better-quality recording if you connect an external microphone. In Movie Maker, click the Tools menu, and then click Narrate Timeline. On the timeline, click the clip you want to narrate. You can narrate clips one at a time, or you can narrate the entire movie all at once. If you narrate individual clips, you can rearrange them later and keep your narration synchronized. If the narration is too loud or too soft in comparison to the movie, right-click the narration on your timeline, and then click Volume. 
    Step 5: To save your movie to your computer
    In the Movie Tasks pane, under Finish Movie, click Save to my computer. 
     The Save Movie Wizard appears. On the Save Movie File page, type a name for your movie. You can also choose a folder to save it in by clicking the Browse button, but My Videos (the default) is usually the best place to save your movie. Then click Next. On the Movie Setting page, click Next to accept the default setting of Best quality for playback on my computer.
    Movie Maker saves your movie, which might take several minutes. On the Completing the Save Movie Wizard page, click Finish. If Play movie when I click Finish was selected (it is selected by default), the movie will automatically play in Windows Media Player. Now you can watch your videos anytime by opening your My Videos folder and double-clicking your movie.

  • How to edit a shared file on my Mac?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to edit a shared file on my Mac?
    I know it is possible on the web, using Numbers/Pages/Keynote for iCloud Beta. But I was wondering if it is also possible to download and edit the file.
    I think it is also important that the file automatically updates himself when edited on the Mac, so the other user could see my changes.
    So I don't have to download the file --> edit it --> upload the file.
    Hopefully there is a solution for this problem, otherwise I'm hoping this will come in the near-future!
    Kind regards,
    Berend

    How do I use a flash drive on my mac
    Since most flash drives are formatted for PC's rather than Macs, if you plan to use it only with a Mac, when it's plugged in, you can click on it in Disk Utility and partition it GUID and Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Note that if you've already got files stored on it, partitioning it will erase them.

  • How do I download adobe flash player on my new imac

    how do I download adobe flash player on my new imac

    This is asking you to store persistent Flash Cookies (meaning, they are not deleted when you delete your ordinary cookies.) Some sites will not work unless you allow them. Here's how to prevent them from getting on your computer in the first place, while keeping Flash and these sites working.
    If you use Firefox, get the Add-on Better Privacy, which will delete them when you quit Firefox.
    Or, trick these sites into thinking they are actually storing this crap: (These directions are for Flash Player 10 and above.)
    Using the following, no LSOs (Flash Cookies) will be stored and yet Flash is tricked into thinking they are. As far as I can tell all sites employing Flash will function properly; nothing will be broken, including Comedy Central with its streaming video content. (In the directions above, I had mistakenly recommended setting the Storage panel in the local Flash Pref Pane to not allow. It must be left as "Allow sites to store...." This was why the Comedy Central clip I had been trying to play wasn't working.)
    First, to get a new, clean folder, start by trashing the Macromedia folder in ~/Library/Preferences. That's in your user Library. Next, do not visit the local Flash Pref Pane in Sys Prefs. Instead, go directly to Adobe Global Privacy settings in the Adobe Settings Manager and set Camera and Mic to "Always deny." Visiting the Settings Manager will automatically create a new, clean Macromedia folder.
    (If you first visit the local Flash Pref Pane, the new Macromedia folder will lack the empty default #shared objects folder and its also empty enclosed folder (this is the one with a combination of characters and numerals.) I haven't tested to see what will happen if those two folders are not present. I assume, providing the Macromedia folder is unlocked, they would be created as soon as one visits a Flash site, but they will not be empty and this would defeat the entire purpose.)
    If you visit the local Flash Pref Pane now, all the defaults will remain, except for the Camera and Mic panel, where "Always deny" will be checked. Next, it seems prudent to go to the Playback panel and check "Block all sites from using peer assisted networking." But, important, in the Storage panel, you must leave the default "Allow sites to save...." checked. This is how sites using Flash are tricked into thinking storage of Flash Cookies is being allowed when they are, in fact, not.
    Next, go back to the Macromedia Folder and, using GetInfo/CMD-I, recursively lock all its enclosed folders. This means starting from the back working ones way up to the front. And, finally, lock the enclosing Macromedia folder itself. Nothing gets stored and everything keeps on working.
    (Thanks to Anon at XYMer's for this.)
    EDIT: Maybe something I don't know, but I don't think AdBlock in Safari will defeat Flash Cookies. There may be some Safari extension that will.
    Maybe this extension

    if that doesn't lead to satisfactory file size, you may need to check the properties of each bitmap in the library to see if it's set to over-ride the global settings.
