Using the Stroke Color and Fill Color controls in the
Property inspector
To see difference you will need to adjust the size to larger,
like 8 to 10 pixels.
Than you will see differences in setting

Simple question about pen tool in Flash vs Photoshop

Hi,
After years of fumbling with the pen tool, I devoted my holiday weekend to mastering the pen tool in Photoshop. Though not necessarily a grand master of the pen tool, I'm happy to report that I've turned a corner and have transformed my pen tool feelings from fear/anger/hate into love/happiness/accomplishment. At long last, it all makes sense.
I think.
Today, I zipped into Flash to experiment with a tracing assignment I'm giving to my students in an upcoming Flash class. As I started to trace the path with the pen tool, I realized that it was behaving differently than it does in Photoshop. My specific problem is this:
I place an anchor point and draw a line. Then I draw another line. Then I draw another line. Then, I decide to adjust one of the handles and try to draw another line. But it won't let me just go back to adding things to the path with the pen tool if any part of the process is disrupted.
This seems like pretty basic functionality! What am I doing wrong?
To make sure that I wasn't crazy, I went back to Photoshop and tried to do the same thing. It works just fine in Photoshop. At any time, I can hop away from the pen path and then back over to the pen tool. All I need to do to extend the path with the pen tool in Photoshop is to click on the last anchor point in the path. Surely, this must also be possible in Flash.
I would be grateful for any advice!

Question about project manager on Flash CS4

1 It seems that CS4 can not open flp, so how can I use CS4 to manager a project builded by CS3?
2 if you choose a folder to found a new project in CS4, when you want to publish the whole project, you need to choose all the fla of that project...that will cost a lot of time if the project includes hundreds of files. But I didn't find out any quicker solution except check every fla by manpower. Is there any solution to publish a project faster?
I am beginner of both CS3 and CS4, and thank you for anyone who can answer my questions.

I'm planning on burning 1 master to a Taiyo Yuden White Inkjet Hub Printable 16X DVD-R disc.
Make a disk image instead. It will be faster than a disc to disc copy.
I have burnt tons of discs with the setting on "As fast as possible" with a 16x drive and discs. Never a problem. Some say that burning at a lower speed will increase reliability and decrease the chance of turning out a dud. Can't say that I have seen a difference.
does it matter if I burn first and then print or should I print first and then burn?
I would burn, check the disc and then print. If you do happen to get a bad batch, that's a lot of wasted time and ink if the discs don't work.

Question about text rendering in flash authoring tool and in flash player.

Hi everyone, i have found that:
1. There has a subtle difference between a static text field in flash authoring tool which has been set to use the device font when it's got focus(state that user can type character in) and lose focus;
2. There also has a subtle difference between when it is being rendered in flash player and in flash authoring tool.
(Note that the key factor here is setting the text field to use device font.)
I want to know what causes this difference. Thanks in advance!

Question about DNG converter in Bridge CS4

Hello,
I just installed Photoshop CS4, When I updated, it downloaded a hefty update (199 megs), so my setup now is:
Win XP pro
Bridge 3.0.0.464
Camera RAW 5.7
Photoshop CS4 11.0.2
My Camera is a Panasonic Lumix FZ150 ( 2011 vintage)
I have downloaded the Adobe DNG converter 6.6.0.261
Every thing seems to be working fine so far, except:
In Bridge when I "get Photos from Camera" the DNG conversion doesn't work. When I use the standalone converter it works fine.
From reading past material on this forum I am assuming this is due to the fact that Bridge is older than my camera, and doesn't recognize the format.
The questions:
1. Does Bridge have its own built in DNG converter that is not upgradeable separately?
2. If 1 is correct, is there a way to point Bridge to the location of the standalone converter so the work flow can be optimized.
3. Since Bridge is not doing the conversion, but only importing the files, does the "Apply metadata" section of that window actually do anything? Should I bother to fill in any of those boxes?
Thanks for any help.

I posted a similar question quite a while ago, and what I learned was that Bridge has a DNG converter built in, but it's using ACR to read the file before it can convert. So you need ACR support for your camera.
AFAIK there's no way to point Bridge to a standalone DNG converter.
I suggested an updateable DNG converter plugin for Bridge, don't know why nobody listened...I thought it was an excellent idea
As for the metadata, you just have to try. I don't know if it can write metadata when it can't read the file.

Question about frame rates in Flash

If I create a Flash animation using 12 frames per second set in the Flash properties and I then export the timeline as a quicktime movie at PAL settings (25 frames per second) so that I can use it in a Premiere Pro timeline with other PAL video clips shot with a camcorder, does that affect the speed at which the original Flash timeline will play when converted to a quicktime movie?
I don't want to have to animate the Flash clip at 25 frames per second in Flash because it requires about twice as much drawing, but I also want to preserve whatever sense of action timing there is in the Flash action and not have it play too fast or too slow when incorporated into a video project.
Thanks for any advice on how best to do this.

For what you show so far, you can probably create it all in Flash without concern for slicing and whatnot.. For starters....
First create the buttons... select Insert -> New Symbol -> Button. Buttons have 3 visual frames... one for Up, one for Over, and one for Down. The 4th frame is useful for defining a larger Hit area for small items. So create a new button symbol and draw the different views you want for the button. When you are done you should be able to make the button work visually without the need for any code. You will want to add code to control the feature displays.

Questions about AS2 Tree Component (Flash CS3)

I have Flash application with a Tree component on the Stage. I'm using an XML file to create the structure of the Tree component.
Each entry on my XML has the attributes id, label, heading, desc, and icon.
My problem is that I can't seem to be able to set the Tree to default with the first node open.
My code is:
var xmlTreeData:XML = new XML();
xmlTreeData.onLoad = function() {
mTree.dataProvider = this.firstChild;
xmlTreeData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlTreeData.load("xml/treeValues1.xml");
mTree.setStyle("fontSize","11");
mTree.setStyle("selectionColor","0xE0E0E0");
mTree.setStyle("useRollOver",false);
mTree.setIsOpen(mTree.getTreeNodeAt(0), true);
My tree populates fine, and the handler I retrieve whatever item is clicked works great. However, the tree refuses to default to having that first node open.
I'm also interested in placing custom icons into certain nodes via the icon attribute I've set in the XML, but that will have to come later I guess.

I've never used the Tree component, so I'm just guessing here....
There is a slight delay before the xml file loads and your tree has its data provider.
Perhaps during that time there is no node at mTree.getTreeNodeAt(0) to open? Try adding this just before the last line of your code:
trace("the node is: "+mTree.getTreeNodeAt(0));
What do you get?
You might need to move that code inside the xml's load event handler.
Another thing is that the Flash components tend to work on an invalidate-then-wait-one-frame-to-redraw kind of model. So it is possible you will need to wait one frame after the xml has loaded and then tell it to open that node.
The doLater method might help with that.
var home:MovieClip=this;
var xmlTreeData:XML = new XML();
xmlTreeData.onLoad = function() {
mTree.dataProvider = this.firstChild;
mTree.doLater(home,"delay");
xmlTreeData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlTreeData.load("xml/treeValues1.xml");
mTree.setStyle("fontSize","11");
mTree.setStyle("selectionColor","0xE0E0E0");
mTree.setStyle("useRollOver",false);
function delay(){

Question about "missing glyph" error in CS4/CS5 live preflight

Hi all
Basically I'm wondering what the "missing glyph" error refers to specifically and what are the implications of such an error. The help file doesn't mention it, as far as I can see.
I have some PDFs (from WordPerfect) which are causing this error when imported into Indesign. I think the pages which cause this error have been corrected with a PDF editor (Iceni Infix) but Acrobat reports all the fonts are embedded and subsetted. A third-party preflight programs reports everything is okay too.
Am I safe to ignore these errors?
thanks,
Iain

I'm not sure "Missing Glyph" picks up missing glyphs in PDFs. What does ID point to when you click the page number hyperlink in the Preflight panel?
If you have missing glyphs in your document text, they will look something like this:
-- then again, perhaps you cannot see the pink highlight because of background (an image) or foreground (another character 'on top of it', or perhaps even a graphic over the text).
How serious this is? It's ... critical! As you can see in my image, the only thing InDesign can do is notify you with the pink highlight and temporarily insert the font's own "missing" image (which may be a rectangle, a question mark, or even just a space).
Fortunately, if you do need the character, all you have to do is change the font (for those characters only) to one that does contain the missing ones. You'll have to try all your system fonts before you find one that does and matches the rest of your text as well :-)
There are a few special cases where InDesign gets it wrong, though. The Symbol font, for example, might not get imported correctly from Word, and in that case you have to manually change the character -- i.e., find the correct one in the Glyphs panel and insert it from there. There is also the Strange Case of the Invisible Marker: InDesign thinks there is something but if you check against the original Word file, there is nothing. This will usually insert a character code U+FFFD; you can safely delete them.

A question about deinterlacing on export in CS4

I've always found the "deinterlace" checkbox option in Adobe Media Encoder gives substandard results when encoding to WMV (and possibly to other formats, but I'm typically exporting to WMV), particularly when you're exporting at the true frame size. My workflow for fullsize projects which matter has typically been to export a DV AVI, then do the deinterlace/compress stage in Windows Media Encoder which produces distinctly better output.
Is this now fixed in CS4? Or have I missed a simple trick which solves the problem in CS3.
Best,
Keith

CS4 now decides for you to deinterlace or not based on the export option and source material. Which is why there is no longer a "deinterlace" checkbox in the export options.
You will have to decide yourself on the quality. You can still perform your workflow if you wish to compare.
On the flyout menu there is an render high quality option. The main purpose is to improve scaling. It does improve scaling quality but increases render time significantly. I havent tested to see if it also improves deinterlacing where appropriate.

The question about HTML ENtities in flash

Hello guys. Some problems with « entities. My movie
extracts data from XML. HTML data im my XML converted to html
entities format so I use this piece of code do decode them:
intro_txt.htmlText=_root.suek_framework.peoplexml.firstChild.childNodes[1].firstChild;
intro_txt.htmlText=intro_txt.text;
It works fine for < > symbols. But it don't work for
another entities like quotes. So in the output i have valid html
code but with & l a q u o ; symbols instead of simple quote ".
Maybe im doing somethin wrong? Maybe some one have idea how to
decode this & l a q u o ; too?
Thanks to all and sorry for my broken english!
