Making a shape move in Flash 8..Help

I am trying to make a ball move, it's all perfect apart from this:
Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler = ( isJumping) = false;)
Then I put in "on", then it says:
Unexpected 'on' encountered.
That's a bit of fail, any help?
I will post the full code if needed.

if you have any valid code attached to a frame you can leave it but, my guess is you don't have any valid code. but if you don't want to remove code that might be serviceable, you can surround the code with a comment demarkation:
your code

Flash: Solutions for Making a Transparent Movie?

I have searched for an hour now so I might as well start a question.
I'm trying to make a simple text animation but the background won't go away from my exports. I need to make a movie file (.avi or .mov) and nothing is letting me remove the white space in the background.
Things I have tried:
Go to Publish settings > HTML > Window mode: Trasparent Windowless
     Result: White background remains
Make a .mov and in Quicktime Export Settings checkmark Ignore Stage Color (generate alpha)
     Result: This time, everything was black (text was black too so it probably blended withthe background
Make a .avi and in Export Windows AVI set video format to 32 bit color w/ alpha
     Result: White background remains
Make a .gif image sequence and just use the images in your video editer to make the animation
     Result: Even after changing the GIF publish settings to transparent, the gif images are still not transparant
So far nothing works so what is the deal with flash not comprehending with a clear background in movie files?
Any help will work, as long as it isn't something I've already tried.

Just out of interest, how do you convert the SWF to an AVI?
Is this a capability available in Flash by default?
This could help me fix my problem I outlined here:

I tried using Adobe Media Encoder to export a SWF to AVI, but it tells me that SWF is not a supported format.

Flash CS3: Help me make my movie play, please!

URL: http:schoolsignsonline.com
This is an electronic sign company, so I'm trying to put a Flash movie of one of their signs onto their preexisting site. No sound, no skin, no controls, just the movie, looping endlessly.
I imported an .avi video (from a PC) from the client into Flash CS3 (on a Mac), and made sure my stage was the same size as the file parameters.
Saved the file. Tested the movie in Flash. **The movie plays just fine**. It's a picture of brightly colored balloons ascending on a black background.
I publish the movie.
I copy the .fla and .swf into the flash folder at the root level of the site on my local server.
I go into Dreamweaver CS3 to insert the movie using their Insert>Flash into the div I've created for it on the index page (which uses server side includes for the nav & footer only - no PHP involved - so each page has an .shtml extension).
I test the movie in DW by clicking on the green arrow in the properties toolbar. Nothing but white. Movie doesn't play, or if it is playing, it's only white.
What the heck. I save the page, letting DW generate the script.
I upload the revised index page, the flash folder (with the .swf and .fla files in it), and the Scripts folder to the site on the remote server.
Go to a browser. Nothing but white where the movie is supposed to be.
I asked about this on the Adobe DW group on Yahoo Groups, and they really didn't know, thinking it was a Flash problem. One of them said the movie couldn't be found. Dang it! This is a script that DW generated when I placed the movie into the page! I don't know anything about JavaScript (yet), so I'm not going to muck about in the code to break it.
BTW, the HTML for the page with the movie on it no longer validates - I hear this is typical of a CS3 Flash insertion by DW.
Can anyone PLEASE help me figure out what I've done wrong? What other info do you need from me?
Thank you in advance.
Theresa

For the Flash-generated html file, you basically want to copy the script tag in the head section....
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
into the same place in the head section of the real file.
and copy the entire section of code in the body starting with and including...
<script language="javascript">
if (AC_FL_RunContent == 0) {
.... all the stuff between....
</object>
</noscript>
into the div you mention
And in the case of what's shown above, you would want to have the AC_RunActiveContent.js file in a Scripts folder.

Flash 8 Help please

Hellow fellas, I am having solving a flash 8 problem with a
new website I am making. I have created a small movie that animates
my logo across the front of a flash header. The movie is complete
and saved to the computer but when I preview it in my browser it
continues to loop over and over with no end, and my navigation
buttons roll as though the mouse is passing over them continually
as well. This only happens when previewed in my browser and not in
FLash 8 when I animate it there.
If any of you have experienced this or have insight please
post it here. PS this is my first attempt at making a website but
am learning quickly. So go slow if you dont mind.

I have checked the movie and I have a layer that has the stop
action script that was recommended to me with no change. The file
will run fine when I press play on the player but will loop when I
use the test movie option. NOW when I use the test movie option its
window has the option of debugging the movie and here is the
report, hope this helps;

Importing movie to Flash 8 and error message appears

I have tried to import a movie into Flash 8 and the message appears "The operation could not be completed as an error has occurred". It will not pu the movie on to the stage. Do you think there is something wrong with the movie file or am I missing a step? This is what I do:
1) open a new flash file
2) file - import video
3) browse to find the movie file and then click next
4) Click the option 'progressive download from a web server'
5) I dont change any of the default settings and I don't want a skin on it
6) It runs through like it is making the file and then the message appears "The operation could not be completed as an error has occurred".
Any ideas what I am doing wrong??
Thanks,
Rachel

Now that I have restored my pc to the time before installing Autodesk, the
import facility now works again.
If you have installed programs that you do not really need, the best thing
to do is either uninstal them, or restore your computer through the control
panel. If you do need them you could try using another flash encoding
program, encode it through that and then open the file in your flash
program.
There is also a program called "Super" that enables flash encoding. It
sounds good, and I am going to check it out as it is a freeware.
If it works well I may use it to encode the video into flash:-
If interested, here is the link
http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
I too have very little knowledge in computers, but I like the creative side
of using flash.
Hope this helps a little.
Let me know how you get on.

How can I disable making live shape rectangle in the first place but normal one instead in Illustrator CC?

How can I disable making live shape rectangle in the first place but normal one instead in Illustrator CC? When I create rectangle I can't transform it by dragging and it's only the problem with rectangle, not with circle, star etc. I try show/hide edges/bounding box reset preferences and reinstall whole illustrator CC and it's the same. I can only make this right by expand this rectangle, which is shape as is turn out to rectangle by clicking object>shape>expand rectangle. But this is so frustrating. Help!:) oh, and I use OSX. My friend has the same specs and it's works. I mean she can use live shape corner transformations and changing size by draging:(

I’ve created my own plugin (available for free for personal and commercial use) which imitates behavior of the ‘old’ Rectangle Tool. It doesn’t replace the Live Rectangle – it works completely independent!
My Plain Rectangle Tool correctly snaps to grids/objects/points and correctly aligns to grid/points on resize. Of course it supports the SHIFT and ALT/OPTION keys, Snap to Grid and Smart Guides options. In other words it works almost 100% the same as the Rectangle Tool we know from CC (17.1), CS6 and earlier.
The installation package (zxp) adds ‘Plain Rectangle Tool’ icon into the Ai panel (of curse you can assign your custom keyboard shortcut to it as well)
Note: The Plain Rectangle can be easily converted into the Live one using Object > Shape > Convert to Rectangle
Grab your copy at http://63mutants.com/subc/products/PlainRectangleTool_m01/PlainRectangleTool_m01.php Feel free to share with your friends. It’s completely free.
I’ve also created a separate discussion https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1587587 for the Plain Rectangle Tool. If you have any comments or request please post it there. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

You can't. You need to do that in Dreamweaver.

Converting LiveType movie to Flash?

Is there anybody that knows of a way to convert a LiveType movie (i.e. Quicktime movie) to Flash format for webpages? I have already tried to put a web banner I created in LiveType into my company's webpage, but it loaded very slowly on a high-speed internet connection (T1, to be specific).
I was noticing that parts of the Apple website have Flash animations (ex: in the Final Cut Studio area), and was wondering if any of those animations were created with Apple's own software (like Motion) or by a third party....
If anyone can help answer this question, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Sounds like your FLV's are not being encoded with the proper bite rate. I have no quality problems with FLV's (I've been doing them for clients for a few years). As far as comparing FLV's to a swf stream, if you're talking vector animation, then you're basing the wrong comparison.
Frankly, I wouldn't rely on something like LiveType to create an animated GIF, that's what Photoshop/Imageready and Fireworks are for, and they will work very well with LiveType and are darn good at what they do.

Can I import Director movies into Flash?

Hi,
Can Flash handle Director movies? I am making a presentation
of my artworks in Flash environment; I have both Flash and Director
movies. I know that I can import all my swf movies into Director
MX2004 to create a standalone projector and play both swf an ddir
movies. Does it work for the reverse?
Thanks
Uti

No, you can't import or display Director movies in Flash in
any way. Best
you can do is launch the Director executable from the Flash
movie, though
how you do this depends on which version of Flash you are
using.

Embed flash movie into flash site

I'm sorry if this has been answered elsewhere i searched around a while and couldn't find a solution.
Basically i have these buttons that I want to link to a movie that would come up in a popup window that has the controller options- to stop play, fastforward, etc. I made one already using flash CS4 and exported it to a .swf file. how do i link the button to the .swf file to open a pop up window- where i can control the size of the pop up window? also- when i upload the .swf file do i need to upload the encoded .f4v video to my server too? I'm open to a completely different way of doing this as well!! any help is appreciated

Hi thanks for the reply. i had looked through this link before. the problem is I am not trying to a website to open in the popup window. I want to open a .swf file in a popup window....any other suggestions?
also- i imported a .f4v movie to flash cs4- chose one of their skins and exported is as my .swf file. will this work?
thanks a million for any help im rather daft at this!!

BUG? - Vector shapes move after when resizing PSDs with layer comps.

I use layer comps to show different interaction steps through my designs.
Designing mostly for mobile, i create at @1x (72 Pixels/Inch) resolution, and then scale up to @2x (144 PPI) and @3x (216 PPI) to get my assets for higher resolution devices.
However when i scale the PSD, all vector shapes within it offset themselves by one pixel up and to the left for @2x resolution and two pixels for @3x resolution, meaning all my careful alignments go out the window. Raster elements and text fields behave as they should and do not shift.
All my vectors shapes are bang on the the pixel to begin with so that's not a factor, and the scaling is a multiple so again that isn't the cause either.
You can see the issue in the image attached.
The obvious white edges along the right and bottom edges are revealed after the scale and layer comp change as the shapes shift.
The bitmap layers equivalent on the right are fine.
You can try it for yourself by downloading this PSD...
http://neonstate.com/scale-layer-comps-test.psd
1. Open the file
2. Change the resolution by going to Image / Image Size and entering 144 or 216 as the resolution.
3. Step through the layer comps, you'll see after the first layer comp is changed that the vector shapes shift, affecting all layer comps.
I'm sure this didn't used to happen, but what it means is I can no longer use this technique.
I'm using Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 / 20141204.r.310 x64
Any help much appreciated.
Rob

Hi again,
The purpose of this checkbox in the Layer Comp settings is to remember the positions of items, if you turn it off then you can save the positions which defeats the point a bit.
I've created another example to better explain - http://neonstate.com/scale-layer-comps-test-reposition.psd
If you step through the layer comps you'll see the shapes move from one position to the next, i've set these positions specifically.
Now change the resolution to 144 or 216.
Everything looks fine until you step through the layer comps - the boxes change position as they should, but the vector ones are incorrectly offset to the top left.

I am getting no sound on my macbook pro. The sound does not play when I plug in headphones either. I have tried making it louder quieter, restarting my computer, HELP!

I am getting no sound on my macbook pro. The sound does not play when I plug in headphones either. I have tried making it louder quieter, restarting my computer, HELP!

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and anything is plugged in, unplug it before putting the system to sleep.
3. If you've installed something called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and reboot. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. If you've installed an equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and reboot.
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Reboot and test.
9. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
10. Reset the NVRAM.
11. Reset the SMC.
12. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data. For a possible shortcut, see this thread.
13. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

I could really use some Flash CS4 help.....

I have used Flash CS4 but I have a problem that no one seems to have an answer? This may be a bug in the software, I don't really know. Here's the problem:
I create a flash movie, including sound clips, and export the movie in an .avi format and the masks won't work.
I export the exact same movie in a .swf format and the masks work but the sound clips don't. The sound clips don't even show as a "blue bar" across the movie as they normally do?
Do any of your really intelligent people know how to get the export of a movie in Flash CS$ into a .avi or .swf format making both the masks and sound clips work? I'm using Corel Video Studio Pro X2 on a PC. Ton's of RAM. I build this computer to build video's.
Thanks!!!
