You'll find that your imported images are probably layered
or nested
into numerous groups, drawing objects, and symbols. Any one
of those
elements (groups, options, or symbols) behave just as if they
were created
in Flash, and you can minuplate them as such.
If an imported image (with all its nested elements) is
already on the
Stage, just select the whole collection and convert the whole
thing into a
symbol. At that point, your symbol will behave just like any
other ... you
can move it as a collective group, you can change its alpha
transparency,
give it a tint, and so on. If your symbol is a movie clip,
you can also
alter its blend mode and add effects, such as drop shadow,
blur, and the
like.
Let me know if that helps, or if you still have questions.

Help with Illustrator CS6 and Flash CS4

Hello I use Illustrator CS6 and Flash CS4. When I export a drawing realized in Illustrator in the size(format) .sof Flash, this one is imported in the library(bookcase) of Flash CS4 but he(it) is created with a multitude of graphic symbols and symbols Bipmap. In the scene(stage) of Flash, the image is illegible it is floutée, apparently it is not a vectorial image. Thank you for your answer. Very cordially.
Thank You !!!

Sometimes a picture is better than a description. I had to use a translator to find out that floutee means blurred.
Generally bitmaps (raster images) are not a strong suite for illustrator. It can do some things with them, just not as much as photoshop. Maybe if you could explain what you want to do with the symbol, then maybe we can give some ideas. Also by posting a screen shot, we might know of where there is a vector alternative.

Update PSD en Illustrator imports in Flash not working???

CS4 .
When I import an image in flash and make changes to that image, in PSD par example, I can easily update that image in the Flash library, by just clicking on it. The changes are imediately effective...NICE!!!!
But when I import psd-files, layers, or what so ever, and I make changes to that psd file, I have to import the whole thing again and then I have two of these in my library. What I do not want. Is there no dynamic linking here??? And where is the power of bridge in this matter.
Same with illustrator files. NOT NICE!!!!
Do I miss something, or do I have to wait for the next release???
regards, Anne Vossen.

HI,
Uninstall the old Flash plugin then reinstall new.
Uninstall Flash
Install Flash
Repair disk permissions....
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
If nothing above helped...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
if you are running Safari in 64 bit mode, try running in 32-bit mode instead. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.
Check to see if you have any Safari plugins that may not be compatible with Safari 4.0.4 Go here and follow the instructions for trouble shooting third party plugins. The information applies to 10.6 as well.
What you can do if Safari quits unexpectedly

Is there a way to edit Illustrator vectors on Flash CS6?

hello
Is there a way to edit Illustrator vectors on Flash CS6? It would help me a lot a feature like that.
regards

You should be able to import an AI image or copy/paste AI content into Flash and then use the Modify->Break Apart command or doubleclick (as many times as needed) to get down to the drawn elements where they can be manipulated as vector shapes in Flash.

How to upload a image or flash file as blob object in a table.

How to upload a image or flash file as blob object in a table.
What are all the possible ways we can do it.

Searching the forum (or google) would be my first choice, as this question pops up every now and then.
Next without knowledge of your environment (jdev version and technology stack) it's hard to give a profound answer.
All I can say is that it's possible.

The Image viewer flash element could not be found

Hi,
The issue here is the mapping of the interface to the service in question, and usually points to a possible mistype or rename of something within your service architecture.
You need to make sure your namespace and service name here match your service name itself.

Feathering Illustrator image placed in InDesign

I'm using Creative Suite Profession CS3.
I'm seeking your advice on the best way to achieve a good outcome for what I want to do.
I've prepared an Illustrator map which I want to place in InDesign on top of a background image (lots of blue and cloudy sky) already placed in InDesign. I want the four edges of the map to fade into the image 'seamlessly' but for the map to stand out on top and be clear when printed.
I would like to keep the map image in Illustrator format if I can because I will need to go back to it from time to time to do edits.
I have feathered the frame of the map (Illustrator file) in InDesign on all sides but it is not fading as nicely as I would like into the background image. In places the edges are a little unsightly and tinkering has not improved the result much.
I can't see that I can feather the image in Illustrator. Perhaps the only way to achieve a 'perfect' result is to save the Illustrator image as a Photoshop file and then feather it to my liking in Photoshop. Or perhaps I should just open the Illustrator file in Photoshop but it wouldn't stay as vector file as I understand it (better to create it as a Photoshop file I would think).
I can see that there are various ways to achieve this result but I am wondering how my learned friends would advise as to the best way to achieve this result - Illustrator to Photoshop file or whatever. If it is a bit complicated or technical, you might be able to point me to the key steps.
Many thanks.
Frank

You can create a feathering effect in Illustrator. But the feature has a different name. It's called an Opacity Mask.
Do a Google search for Opacity Mask Illustrator or look in Illustrator Help.

How to make a link to an image in flash?

Hi,
I´m new in Flash CS3 and I´m trying to get some
answers to my problem.. The question is
that how do I create a link to an image in flash??
I know how to make a link to a text field but I really
don´t know how this could get working properly.. :/

Link to an external URL image? In AS 2 the code is
'getURL("putaddresshere")' and in AS 3 it's 'navigateToURL("")' ...
If it's a simple image, it's easier just to import it to the
stage, save it as a symbol, put it in a timeline frame and then
code your link so on click or rollover it goes
'gotoAndPlay(framenumber)'.

Scrolling Text and Images in Flash CS3

I am pretty new to Flash and I have spent all day trying to
look up tutorials on making it possible to scroll text and images
in Flash but none of them are working for me. I know you save the
content into a movie clip but that's as far as i have gotten. would
anyone be able to walk me through this PLEASE???
Thanks,
Peter

You could use a Swing HTMLPANE or draw it all onto a
BufferedImage and display that (code posted under 2D graphics thread).

Text editable in images in flash Please help

Hello
Dear All Friends
I want to make text editable in images in flash to get copy from text
can i Make this
and other question please
can i convert text in image in flash to normal string ?
please help
Thank you

Images do not store text data in any isolateable manner, it is comprised of just pixels like anything else in the image. You would need to develop some form of complicated text recognition program to be able to extract text from an image, and I don't believe anyone has.

Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller?

Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller? This has never happened to me. I'm not an expert at Illustrator, but I do know some fundamentals.

Thank you for responding so quickly. No apologies necessary - I know this Forum isn't McDonalds - don't expect an answer to be served up right away. You helped me out with a big issue yesterday.
I am using a mac - OSX 10.7.5
I have Adobe Creative Suites - CS5 - Illustrator version is 15.0.2
The contents I am placing are all Vector - Illustrator files
But, I wonder about some of the vector files I work with. Could a "line weight/thickness" be 'assigned' to the drawing and screw things up? I used 'simple' linear (line) drawings from SolidWorks that have been converted to ai files. It's just weird because I checked the stroke of the drawing and it's not out of line.
I am attaching part of some box labels. You can see how the drawings, of the products, on the 'left side' are "thick" after embedding them. I think the "Global Logo" was pasted into a template not linked that's why it's okay. But look at the Quiet Thunder logo - it looks terrible. These labels are only 2.25" X 6.5", so its important I keep the images lightweight.
Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you!

Load Random Image in Flash?

I've googled it and searched this forum. No luck.
Does anybody know how to load a random image in flash. Like
on a welcome screen (i.e. the first thing that shows up in my
timeline with a stop command on it)
I tried this:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/loadingrandombackground.htm
but can't do this where you are supposed to paste the code in
Actions: "Now, look at your timeline. Right click on a blank
keyframe in the timeline and select Actions. Copy and paste the
following code: "
seems like i have to add something first like adding a
behavior like "goto URL" or "stop" or "goto frame" if you know what
i mean.
what do i click on???????????????????? to add this code into
Actions.
Thanx.

let say you have 20 images file in jpg format, all at the
same directory with your flash file, with file name as below:
pic1.jpg
pic2.jpg
pic20.jpg
in your flash, select the frame which you wan to load a
random image, type script below:
num = Math.ceil(10*Math.random());
filename = "pic" + num + ".jpg";
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("pic_mc", 1);
loadMovie(filename, "pic_mc");
//good luck

Exporting images from flash

I'm currently porting a game from flash to the DS and having
difficulties exporting the images and was hoping someone out there
might be able to help. The images in flash are all vector based and
I need to export them and place them on a background (colour
255,0,255). The reason for the background colour is it is removed
programmically within the game (blue screening if you will).
Problem is, if I export them as png's and then add the background
in photoshop, or do a screenshot in flash with the image over the
background then it leaves a halo around the character.
Anyone know how to get around this?
Take care,
S.

Can you upload an example of the png or a visual of the halo
you are seeing?
