Position Tweening Not Working

Photoshop CS3. When I tween between frames in an animation with Position selected, the program dupes the first selected frame the number of times specified but does not tween the object's position. So if I specify five frames, I get five dupes of the first frame with no movement of the object towards its position in the target frame.
The program does tween the Opaque option when that is selected.
Oddly, the same problem occurs in both my Photoshop CS3 and my ImageReady CS.
Could there be something in my computer that's preventing the Position tweening feature from working?
Mac G4 866, 1GB RAM, OS 10.4.11.

I did some position tweening in 2007 on Windows PS CS3 and had no problem. Now for the first time I'm trying it in Windows PS CS4 and I'm having exactly the problem you are!!!! I restarted PS and problem continued. I have no idea what else to try besides go find CS3 running somewhere. I'm using current rev, 11.0.2.

Position tweening not working in CS4

I have done this successfully in CS3 so I don't think it's pilot error.
I am running current rev. 11.0.2.

Motion tween- arrows not appearing, tween not working! please help?

I select where I want my motion tween to be, ctrl-click and select 'create motion tween'. It appears blue, and does not come up with an error message but no arrows appear like in the video's and the motion tween has not worked. Any ideas why? Also, I opened up a file that already had a motion tween in it (made by somebody else) to test it. I selected the motion tween and clicked 'remove tween' and straight away clicked 'create motion tween' again- to put exactly the same motion back into it, but the same thing happens- the selected area appears blue but no motion tween. Then, if I select it again, the option is 'remove motion' not 'remove tween' as before. A little complicated and could really use some help! Thanks!

Thanks very much for the help. Classic tween has worked, the arrows have appeared and the figure moves but the shapes do not move around their anchor points and go all over the place before suddenly appearin in the right position on the very last frame.This is a screenshot of what i see on the second to last frame:
And this is the last frame:
I made sure all the anchor points were in the right place beforehand, any ideas why the shapes wont move right?
Thanks.

Motion tween not working - CS5

I created a symbol, placed it on the timeline, made a copy and moved it to another place on the timeline, clicked in the middle and selected motion tween. It shows a motion tween on my timeline, but when I move the playhead, there is no animation, just a start state and an end state. Help, please!

should only be the symbol on that layer, there should be no other object, be careful, a single point can do not work
If you copy the symbol in the time line then use "Create Classic Tween"
to use "Create Motion Tween" just right click on the frame in the timeline (without copying anything in the timeline) and select "Create Motion Tween", position the playhead at the frame you want and move the position of symbol

Motion tween not working when tested

Motion Tween not working

What would cause a motion tween not to work. I am using
graphics for both keyframes and it is showing an arrow on my
timeline, but its not gradually making it bigger. Just small,
small, small, and then big all of the sudden. I tried doing the
same tween earlier on the timeline and it worked fine, so it is
something with this frame. I have all other layers hidden and I
don't see anything else on this layer. But if I did have something
I think Flash would give an error message and a dotted line on the
timeline, so I don't think that's it. Any other ideas?

Basic Motion Tween not working?

I created a graphic symbol in Illustrator and copied-and-pasted it into Flash. I placed a keyframe further in the Timeline and scaled the symbol down on that frame. I went back to the first frame and right clicked on it and chose to create motion tween, though nothing visually happened between the first frame and last one like it did in previous versions, and the the symbol did not not animate. What did I do wrong?
Thanks.

Adobe has made it a wild goose chase. For me, it only works if I don't have a second keyframe. Baffling, why should it behave so differently than classic tweening?!
People like me have been hitting their heads against the wall for years trying to get this to work. Absolutely asinine.
For the record and to repeat my huge gripe, it behaves nothing like classic tweening, where you define an end point and then "tween" between them. You can end up doing that, but you can't create the tween between two existing keyframes (even if they have the exact same single object in them).
So this is what's working for me now:
1 - Create a timeline layer with one single object in an initial keyframe (black dot indicates a keyframe). No more than one object can be tweened in one layer, but Adobe will not give you any userful feedback about this while you're working.
2 - On that layer, farther out in the timeline where there are no frames (what is the name for these "non-frames"?), right click where you want the tween to end, and select "Insert frame". (You'll have a black dot keyframe, a row of grey empty frames, and white box as a blank keyframe.
3 - Right click anywhere on the active part of that timeline and choose "Create Motion Tween", even though there is nothing to tween yet. After you do this, the span of frames should turn blue and the blank keyframe white box should disappear. Congratulations, you've created your first motion tween, but Adobe doesn't want you to know that. You need to actually go to individual frames and move the object around to get tweening to happen, as I outline in steps 4 and 5. Assuming your object is where you want it in the starting position, I would recommend going to the last frame to determine the final position next. Then you can do any number of middle positions (each frame can have a new position).
4 - (optional step, helps with positioning on the timeline) Scrub the timeline and find a frame where you want the trajectory of your object to change (at the very minimum, you'll want to move the object for one frame, otherwise there will be no motion)
5 - Move the object on the stage.
6 - Repeat 4 and 5 for as many frames as you want.
If you're not seeing motion paths that chart the motion, play with the little buttons on the bottom of the timeline, such as Onion Skinning. Lastly, just move the playhead left and right. If you're not seeing your object move, then blame Adobe some more, because this is far from immediately intuitive.

Scroll Positions do not work if Scroll Policy is 'off'

I am using flex SDK 3.3.0.4852
I have a canvas with
canvas.horizontalScrollPolicy = "off";
canvas.verticalScrollPolicy = "off";
This canvas has an image in it, and I set the horizontal and vertical scroll positions programitically.
canvas.horizontalScrollPosition = canvas.maxHorizontalScrollPosition;
canvas.verticalScrollPosition = canvas.maxVerticalScrollPosition;
then I save the scroll values in an xml file, and then on reopening of the xml file.. I do the following
canvas.addEventListener("creationComplete", setScrollPositions);
and in the method setScrollPositions(event) i do the following again
canvas.horizontalScrollPosition = canvas.maxHorizontalScrollPosition;
canvas.verticalScrollPosition = canvas.maxVerticalScrollPosition;
But unfortunately it does not show any change in the scroll positions visually, and the default scroll positions persists. Though if i call an alert
Alert.show(canvas.verticalScrollPosition.toString()); //it does show me some value, e.g. 56
Now if i only set horizontal and vertical scrollPolicy = "on" ... all works fine. But the problem is that I want to hide my scrollbars and there is no other way I can do it. So please if there is any solution to it or if there is any workaround, do let me know. Thanks.

i'm having the same problem and i just got a brand new dell..when i hold down the left click over the up or down arrows, my songs in itunes only go down one line rather than scrolling up or down while im holding down the left click...any help is appreciated..

Alpha Tween not working on ScrollPane gallery?

Hello i have a problem with my as3 working on normal movieclips, but not on the gallery, the site works by loading an external swf file with the UILoader, the swf that is loaded is a ScrollPane that loads a Movieclip.
The script i use:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var myTweenAlphaRoskilde:Tween = new Tween(roskildemc, "alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 1, 40, false);
1. frame is the preloader
2. frame is the Scrollpane and Movieclip that loads, the action is added here.
The file if it makes it easier:
[Link removed by moderator at OP's request]
Thank you very much! =)

As i wrote, the timeout stuff was added because the preloader wasnt loading the scrollpane the second time one visited the gallery, it just stuck because it was already loaded, see the other forum questioin i posted a link to. If you think it should be removed, exactly what parts should be removed? Could you post the script without the lines that are not needed, im not really a as3 pro.
There is a main index file with different uiloaders on various keyframes which loads the external swf files
[link removed at poster's request]
The external swf's have a preloader in frame 1 and in frame 2 it has the ScrollPane component that loads a movieclip.
[link removed at poster's request]
There is no uiloader code, im using the built in one, it loads the externals fine but i cant add the alpha tweening so they fade in.
There are 3 external swf's with the preload script i posted, the main index file has the folowing preload script:
stop();
var loadCompleteBool:Boolean;
trace("preloader frame");
if(loadCompleteBool){
trace("loadcomplete")
loaderInfo.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);
nextFrame();
//Preloader
loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);
function updatePreloader(evtObj:ProgressEvent):void
    //container for the progress of the site (download)
    var percent:Number = Math.floor((evtObj.bytesLoaded*100)/evtObj.bytesTotal);
     preloader_txt.text = percent+"%";
    if (percent==100){
trace("preloader")
loadCompleteBool=true;
         nextFrame();

Tween not working... what is it??

Hi I have done tweens before and in the same swf! but now i
have one that
doenst work.
It loads it reaches the point going inside the tween
functions but it doesnt
do anything... O_o
If u can help me i will apreciate it, thanks!
I have this short of structure inside mi program:
function a(){
slideshow();
function slideShow() {
_movimiento = Regular.easeInOut;
_empieza = 0;
_acaba = 100;
_duracion =
Number(_root.Diapositiva[_root.diapositivaElegidaPos].espera);
var __moverP:Object = new Tween(_root.loading_mc,
"_rotation", _movimiento,
0, 1080, 10, true);
__moverP.onTweenUpdate = function() {
if (_root.pausado == 1) {
_root.__moverPresentacion.stop();
__moverP.onMotionFinished = function() {
_root.diapositivaElegida = diapositiva_info(+1,
_root.idDiapositiva);

Well all of that is missing cause i didnt want to write all
the code (which
is a lot)...
So I have done the import lines..
And the slideShow is a misspelling when i copied it to here.
Thanks for pointing that out , but it is not that ....:)

Tween not working

edit - i realized that i did not show a crucial part of my
code.....
import mx.transitions.Tween;
what am i doing wrong? the movie clip "dynaText" is attached,
it gets the string inserted into it, but it doesn't fade in like i
want it to using the Tween class.
also, although the script doesn't get this far, the next part
below looks like it's not going to work either. i would expect
onMotionFinished to change color in my actionscript editor, since
it's an identifier... but it doesn't. i have to get the first part
working to see if the yoyo function is going to work, but it
doesn't look like it will.
can someone square this away for me?

ok, i found my problem, but still don't know how to fix it.
my code is working fine, it is fading out the attached movie clip,
the problem is that it's not fading out the dynamic text field
inside that movie clip? how's that work?
if i were to go into the dynaText movie clip and add a new
layer to the bottom of it (underneath the dynamic text field) with
a red square in it, and then run this code... it would fade out the
red square, but not the dynamic text field. the text "All fields
are required, please complete this entire form!" still stays at
100% alpha. why? how do i control the alpha of the dynamic text
field?

Position.velocity NOT working

Hi,
I wrote preset with expressions in AE cs4 and it was calculating the direction of layer's motion.
It worked perfectly in CS4.
In CS5 the resulting vector very often has a length of 0 - especially with Nulls that have tracking data applied.
Even though the Null IS moving around.
One workaround I found was to use a BakeTransforms script on the Null layer.
The motion doesn't change, but now for some reason position.vector gives a proper value.
After some testing it seems that if a Null gets tracking data applied, the position.velocity vector for that null is always invalid
Any ideas?

Thanks, it worked but now I have a problem with border frames
(first or last) as with sampling at slightly different time ends up with no motion next to one of them .
I did a workaround by changing the time delta for this trick dependant on the time value but still it's not full proof.
Any idea why velocity at the exact frame time gives a zero vector?
The speed value is correct so there is motion in these frames (it's not an issue of frame easing)
And again - this totally worked in CS4 so what gives?

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.

3D Tween not working in Test mode or Published version

Hi, I'm pretty much tearing my hair out with this one. I am
creating a 3d tween using the 3D rotation tool and everything looks
great when I play it on the timeline but as soon as I test or
publish the movie, the image is static, doesn't rotate and appears
in the top left corner of the movie. I've tried it on three
different computers and still have the problem so I guessit's got
to be with my process.
Draw a square
Convert the square to a movie clip
Insert a Motion Tween
On the final frame, use the 3d Rotation Tool to rotate the
square movie clip
Play the movie - square rotates, everything works fine
Test the movie - Square appears static on the screen (appears
in top left corner of movie) and does nothing
Can anyone see anything I'm missing from that process or know
of any setting that may be causing the problem. Any suggestions
would be greatly appreicated.
Thanks,
Dan

Thanks - got the file.
So, I added a third instance next to the other two just fine - it scrubs and publishes. (my steps were to take the trigger instance from the library, and I copy and pasted the motion from one of the other clips to the third instance)
So that doesn't seem to be the problem. Could you add the steps you're using where the 3D doesn't animate, or add the non-working file?
Thanks!

Transitions Tween not working

Sorry if i'm being simple here, done a bit of flash graphical
work but trying to make the transition to coded, so probbally a
complete noob mistake.
As code, simply trying to make things fade in and out namely
:- homepage_mc which is a movieclip on my main stage. Fades in Fine
on startup, but when the button mybuttons.homebutt is pressed i get
no response.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I have a problem that is related to this thread. The
following code works but the results are unpredictable. Also when i
try it in CS4 it works but in CS3 it doesn't work. Can someone take
a look at it and tell me what's wrong.
package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
public class Motion extends MovieClip{
public function Motion(){
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,over);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,out);
private function over(event:MouseEvent):void
var myTweenX:Tween = new Tween(this, "width", Strong.easeOut,
100, 150, 5, true);
var myTweenY:Tween = new Tween(this, "height",
Strong.easeOut, 100, 150, 5, true);
private function out(event:MouseEvent):void
var myTweenX:Tween = new Tween(this, "width", Strong.easeOut,
150, 50, .25, true);
var myTweenY:Tween = new Tween(this, "height",
Strong.easeOut, 150, 50, .25, true);
}
