Loosing my tweens

Hi all
I think I posted about this before when Flash 8 first came,
but I never got any answers. So now that Flash 8 is on its way out,
I'm thinking someone else has come across this problem and has
figured out a fix for it at this point.
I have some old Flash files, possibly from the Flash MX era.
And they were built in kind of a cluegy (kind of like a lot things
were from that era). Mainly a lot of lazy-man approaches to Flash
production, lots of weird things grouped together on stage, nothing
labeled properly, everything kind of pieced together just to get it
to work, stuff like that.
So now we want these files edited. And the problem I'm
finding is that when I make my changes and republish, a lot of the
animation tweens, both shape and motion, lose their tween.
Literally the only things you would see are those spots where
there's keyframes on the timeline, where it tweens, it disappears.
So it looks like anything that's supposed to have an animation, it
kind of flickers.
Now this doesn't happen in the fla file, you can see the
tweening there. But in the republished swf files, that's where you
see this "flickering".
Now the other odd thing is, if you see something flicker, you
go back into the fla and look what's going on, but you do nothing,
then republish...magically, whatever you looked at is tweening the
way its supposed to. But then, you take that approach and do that
to everything you see flickering, republish thinking everything is
great, and sure enough, the things you thought you fixed before are
now flickering again.
So this just seems to be a bug of some sort in Flash 8, and
there's no reliable way to fix this that I've ever seen, aside from
rebuilding these things using the same artwork, but I don't want to
do that (some of these project are ******* huge).
So if anyone has any suggestions (maybe its just a publish
setting I'm missing or something) feel free to let me know.
Thanks
Chris

If you converted from one system to another, and your 10.4 system and data is on another hard drive, you can still recover it. Is there another system with 10.4 still on it?  Or do you have the hard drive that has 10.4 and it's data on it? If another system has the data on it, you can hook them up putting your 10.4 system into target disk mode (hold the T key down when you boot it). If you only have the 10.4 hard drive, or even if it's in a system, you could mount it into an external hard drive case and then use it with your new system.  Without knowing more details, it's hard to know exactly what to recommend.
If you've run out of space on your 10.5 system, remember you need at least 10% of the capacity free for systems usage, otherwise the system performance will be affected.

  • Flash animation bad quality when tweened

    hello to all!
    a)im getting very bad results when i tween objects in flash,ive done the designs(clog wheels)in photoshop and added some fx to them,i save them as a png file and import them into flash,when static all is good,but once they start rotating(motion tweened as a movie clip) making the wheels go around they just look terrible.is it natural for the desing to loose in quality since its moving?or is there smthing that i can do to fix it?
    b)when i motion tween an object there is a start keyframe and an ending keyframe once the cursor gets to the ending keyframe there isnt a smooth cycle it seems like the motion does an instant flash at the end,id like for the motion to seem like the wheel is spining like a normal wheel would do.
    any help woudl be appreciated.
    best regards.

    hey!!!
    thanks alot for your answer,i ticked on the smoothing box,and also customed the bitmap to 100%quality and it does sure look better.
    thanks 1000 for your help.
    best regards.

  • Bug with tween

    hi
    i created a classic tween on the timeline (not with actionscript), which moves a movieclip. if i change any property of that movieclip from actionscript, that layer stops updating, even if i change the value to its initial value.
    can i access that tween on the timeline from actionscript?
    do anyone knows why this happens?

    Although this isn't explicitly documented anywhere, this is quite normal behaviour for flash.
    Imagine it as like this: If you do a motion-tween on the timeline, Flash takes full control of that movieclip. So if you interrupt it by setting any property to another value, Flash immediately lets loose of the movieclip, because it doesn't know how to continue with the animation. The nested movieclips are not affected by this, they will continue their animation, because for them, the start and end of the animation is still well defined.
    So you can never do a motion-tween on the timeline and actionscript animation on the same movieclip instance at once.
    But, as my predecessor mentioned, you can:
    Animate the movieclip purely with AS,
    Animate the movieclip purely with AS - while nested Movieclips still run on motion-tweens on the their timelines.
    Animate the movieclip purely as a motion-tween on a timeline - while nested Movieclips are animated with Actionscript

  • I have 2 apple ids for iTunes...is there anyway I can combine them into one I'd without loosing all my music?

    I have an older iPod and new iPhone 5s. I have two separate accounts for each. Can I take my iPod account/Id and make into my iPhone id and transfer my music over?...without loosing my music!?

    If you mean Apple IDs, they can't be merged at all.
    If you mean iTunes libraries, import the content and playlists from one to the other.
    You can have content from multiple Apple IDs in one library.

  • HT1632 I can view a workout on my ipod touch history, but not in itunes or on nike+ website.  I can't seem to upload this run and it's really annoying as I'm loosing about 12k of runs.  It seems to happen when I program in a custom run.  Can you help?

    Hi there,
    I have just done a custom run on my Ipod touch 2nd Gen of 12k.  When I finished the run is appearing in my run history on my iPod touch, however it is not appearing in my itunes 'Nike+' tab, or on the Nike + website.  I can't seem to get this run to sync and it is really annoying because I'll be loosing 12k.  Can anyone help or has experienced this before?  I know there are solutions to add runs to iPod nano's and older iPods using the 'Enable disk' and iPod_control function however from what I'm aware you cannot do this on an iPod touch.  Can anyone please help?
    Many thanks

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • I have music on my ipod that is no longer on my pc. How can I sync new music that is on my pc to my ipod without loosing the music that is currently on the ipod?

    I have an iPod Generation 4. I have been using it with my pc Windows 8 iTunes for some time with no problem. Recently I had to do a system restore and reinstall itunes 7. It works great but  I lost all of my music in itunes but  I still have all of my music on my iPod. When  I try to sync new music I have to my ipod itunes tells me it will erase all existing content on my ipod and replace it with the new content. My question is: How can I add my new music without loosing my old music?

  • Free Transform breaks Motion Tweens

    Sigh! Normally I try to solve problems myself... but Google isn't giving me anything about this so maybe I'm the only one in the world experiencing this particular issue.
    I've used Flash for making games for years now, and I got used to using the old motion tweens for making looping animations for characters. I made the leap from AS2 to AS3 a while ago, and felt like I should try to use these new motion tweens as well since I got CS5...
    I've found them completely unusable, however, due to a bizarre problem that happens when moving around objects using the Free Transform tool.
    For a single character, I'll have a MovieClip with several layers, each with a 'body part' MovieClip on it, then I add the new blue-type motion tweens to all of those layers. At the end of those tweens, I use F6 to (hopefully) duplicate the starting pose; it is meant to loop, after all. Then I'll go about half way between these two keyframes and move bits around to create the A->B->A sort of 'idle' or 'breathing' animation.
    The Free Transform seems dodgy though. If I select all the 'limbs' of a character at once and try to rotate them as a group, it works, but they each end up displaced a bit when I release the mouse; they get offset slightly or rotate a bit in seemingly random directions.
    For example, compare these two images (it's easiest if they're opened in separate tabs, I suppose): http://scraps.fighunter.com/sparkpupagh1.png and http://scraps.fighunter.com/sparkpupagh2.png
    The first one is after rotating it but before I released the mouse button, the second is what the pieces ended up like after I released the button. Most of the pieces ended up where they should be, but the head was offset slightly. This is a mild case; it's usually worse and affects all the pieces, and the slight offsets and rotations build up, too.
    This in itself wouldn't be too bad - though it's frustratingly inaccurate - but it gets much, much worse the more I work on a single animation.
    (Note: These strange changes don't happen if I rotate all the parts as a group if they're not also contained within new motion tweens...)
    Here's a screenshot showing a frame mid-way through an animation, with one of the parts selected: http://scraps.fighunter.com/meepagh1.png
    The Motion Editor is shown, though I don't use that directly.
    With that feather bit selected, I then rotated it a tiny, tiny amount, but didn't *move* it at all. When I released the mouse, it ended up snapping suddenly to here: http://scraps.fighunter.com/meepagh2.png
    That'd be frustrating in itself, but as you can see from the Motion Editor, it's also messed up most of the other frames in the animation, somehow. This becomes unbearable, as you can likely imagine!
    If I edit the graph in the Motion Editor directly to alter the Z value and cause a rotation, it works, without problems... but this is horribly inefficient and unintuitive and not a solution. I can't animate by tweaking numbers. It's like trying to draw a portrait using an Etch-A-Sketch!
    It seems to only be the Free Transform tool that creates this bizarre problem.
    This has been happening since I got CS5 maybe a year or two ago, though I haven't actually had to use the animation tools much until a few days ago so that's why I'm bringing it up now. I've restarted Flash, my computer, etc, etc, many times; I also got the trial version of CS6 today to see if THAT would fix it, but the exact same thing happens in that version too.
    I'm wondering whether it's my computer's fault in some way... I don't know enough about hardware and 'specs' and that sort of stuff to describe anything about it, but I'm using Windows Vista and the computer is fairly old and not exactly what I'd call reliable. I'm planning to get a new one soon, so it'd be nice if that fixed this problem... but frustrating if it doesn't.
    I'll link to the CS6-flavoured .fla that those screenshots are from: http://scraps.fighunter.com/Meep.fla
    I'd very much appreciate it if someone could test this to see if it's happening to only me! If I go to frame 146 (to choose one at random), and try to rotate the foot, slightly, using the Free Transform tool, it breaks in the way that I've described. (Oddly, the head feather rotates without issues on that frame...) If you were to try to do this same thing and it *doesn't* break, it might be a good sign that it's my computer's fault!
    If it *does* break though... then I'd very much appreciate any help I can get from someone who understands the new motion tweens better than I do!
    It'd be a shame to have to go back to Classic Tweens because of this...

  • Greeting,  I want to reformat my external hard drive using Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted ) but before formatting it, I want to make sure that if I loose the hard drive or the hard drive get stolen, no one will be able to retrieve or recover the in

    Greeting,
    I want to reformat my external hard drive using Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted ) but before formatting it, I want to make sure that if I loose the hard drive or the hard drive get stolen, no one will be able to retrieve or recover the information on it so could you tell me what kind of encryption will be used or is there any way to recover the information?
    Thanks!

    I think FileVault is used to encryp internal hard drive but I wanna encrypt an external hard drive with Mac OS Extended Journaled Encrypted which is completely different!

  • Adobe Flash CS5 - Blur effect & tween not working

    When I try to create a tween for the blur, so it will blur into focus, the tween just wont work. I go to frame 130, keyframe, add blur filter, create clasic tween. But when i go to frame 131 it instantly pops into focus instead of going along the tween time span to blur in gradually(I have the next keyframe at 160). Anyone have any ideas?! This boggles my mind!
    Any help or suggestions would be deeply appreciated
    Thanks in advance...

    What type of textfield are you using?  What type of symbol have you created it as?  If you can show a screenshot of the stage and timeline for what you have it might help to identify the problem.

  • Is anyone having a problem with the new iPad (Gen. 3) not staying connected to the charger? It seems to ALWAYS get jiggled loose and no longer be charging. My iPad 1 has no issue but I can't browse Internet w/o new iPad unplugging. Horrible!

    I notice that my new IPad (3rd generation) will not stay connected to the power cord at all, I'm not exagerating, if I plug it in and browse the Internet without fail it will become unplugged and I will have to push the plug back in (Ba-beep). Ive actually grown to despise that sound when you plug your iPhone or iPad in because it reminds me of how much money I spent on something that PHYSICALLY will not charge while I'm using it.
    I know the problem with it holding a charge while in use, I get it, the screen is amazing and it takes a lot to run the display, however, it is unacceptable to me that I can't even keep the thing plugged in while I'm using it. I can not even leave it on my Cal King bed overnight because I will wake up in the morning to find that the plug has been jiggled loose in a corner, so it's still attached but not making a connection thus not being charged. 
    I love the 4GLTE from Verizon and I love the iPad, but I'm actually using my 1st generation IPad while I am at home so I can leave my new $900 iPad on a table to charge free of incident so I can use the 4G while I'm away from wifi during the day. I have been getting more upset about this because I can not even use the Griffin extended cord to charge the iPad and be far from the plug because only the original apple sync/charge cord will have a better shot at staying in. Absolutely none of my non apple cables will stay in the iPad 3 while having it in my hands.
    The plug is at an angle, unlike the first iPad, not sure about the iPad 2. Please let me know if they have same issue.
    If anyone else is having this problem with the Gen 3 iPad please let me know because I'm tempted to do something about it with apple and I'm hoping that I just for some reason have a bad cable receiver or something and maybe I can get a replacement and enjoy the iPad as I had expected to. There is no reason why I should be even using my first iPad and I have friends that want to buy it but I am not selling it because I'm unable to sell it because I can't handle the new iPad while it's plugged in, that is ridiculous if it's a common issue so please let me know!

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • Why does everyone at my work loose their internet connection when I update Adobe Cloud Products?

    Why does everyone at my work loose their internet connection when I update Adobe Cloud Products? We are on a 20mb broadband connection and there is around 20 people using computers at my work but when I start my Adobe Cloud Product update or when I try and download my Adobe Cloud Product everyone at my work looses their internet connection and so do I. But the update keeps downloading and installing.

    I am sorry FooWingLi but the difficulties you are describing sounds more like a local network configuration issue.  I would recommend working with your I.T. department to investigate this matter.

    Hi swaraj.vidhate,
    If you are experiencing what appears to be unusually short battery life, you may want to check out the "Power/Battery: Battery life seems short" section of the following article:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    In particular, the Restore iPhone step will help isolate if any potential issue is software or hardware related.
    With regard to the iPhone warming during charging:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (4th generation): Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2101
    When using the device or charging the battery, it is normal for it to get warm. The exterior of the device functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the device to the cooler air outside.
    If you are still having issues with the battery life, or have any further concerns, there is a link to Apple iPhone Support at the bottom of the Hardware Troubleshooting document; I am sure they would be happy to be of assistance.
