Shape tween with bone tool on bitmap

I want to have shape tween animation with bone tool on bitmap image. Because shape tween animation supports only Shape data type, I converted the bitmap to that type (Bitmap -> Trace Bitmap). Problem is that trace command splits bitmap image into multiple shape fragments, so I can't use shape tween anymore.I tried to combine and group shape fragments, but it doesn't fix it. Solutions?

You can create another instance of the bitmap symbol (drag it from library to your stage) to do tweening.

  • How do you make a motion tween, mask effect and shape tween, with a flash website?

    More of less, I will have three seperate pages for the motion tween, mask effect and shape tween... would you make the seperately, in a different scene, as a symbol or on the same scene with the website.

    It's not clear what you are after since you start talking about separate pages for the three things, and then ask about how best to put them together.  If they are going to be separate they can't be together.
    If your intention is to have these three things in one Flash file, ut as separate parts of it, then I would have each within a symbol and have each symbol within the same scene (I don't use multiple scenes).

    Hi,
    Does this happen even in a brand new FLA file?  If so, please try deleting your Flash CS5 user-configuration directory:
    Mac: boot drive/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS5/<language>/Configuration
    Windows Vista/Windows 7: boot drive\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS5\<language>\Configuration

  • Problem with warp tool and bitmap images

    While you apply warp tool to a bitmap image, the image becoming corrupted on each touch. Please check screen shot...

    OK. I start to understand what you're doing there.
    It's simply that Illustrator is not a bitmap editor. It's not optimized for editing this kind of artwork.
    What you can do is apply an envelope and then use the warp tool on the envelope.
    Also: edit the envelope options. You can get higher image quality with that.

  • Fill shape drawn with pen tool

    There are three posts dealing with this issue and each time the person who posted the problem said they figured it out but did not say what they did.  Here is the problem:
    I draw a shape with the pen tool in Flash CS4.  I made sure the shape was closed.  But, I cannot fill the shape no matter what.  Paint bucket tool does not work.  Whatever I do, I get the red diagonal line on the fill color.  I can fill a shape with the rectangle or oval tools but not the pen tool.
    Please help.  Thanks.

    Thanks for your help.  I tried what you suggested but the union selection was grayed out.  I was in the drawing object mode.  But after fooling with it for a bit the following worked (I'm still not sure why):
    I double clicked on the object with the selection tool.
    I then selected a fill color in the property panel and it filled in.
    However, I cannot replicate this.  I tried drawing another shape with the pen tool and cannot fill it in.  I tried converting it to a symbol and that did not work either.  I must have done something to the original shape that allowed me to fill it in last time I fooled with it.

  • Bone tool AS Help

    Okay, so I'm trying to use the bone tool for it's IK so I can make a rope for my game. But for some reason it just refuses to work.... like almost at all. Here's a snippet of my code, I really just followed the Adobe sites tutorial here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ActionScript/3.0_ProgrammingAS3/WS76E4A0A2-F3D9-43c8-BA07-A2B6 D6DE5266.html
    public function init(e:Event):void
                var tree:IKArmature = IKManager.getArmatureByName("Armature_18");
                var bone:IKBone = tree.getBoneByName("ikBoneName74");
                var endEffector:IKJoint = bone.tailJoint;
                var pos:Point = endEffector.position;
                ik = new IKMover(endEffector, pos);
                ik.limitByDistance = true;
                ik.distanceLimit = 10000000;
                ik.limitByIteration = true;
                ik.iterationLimit = 100;
                this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, ropeUpdate);
            public function ropeUpdate(e:Event)
              // I have it spawn and attach to the player
                var mat:Matrix = this.transform.matrix;
                var pt = new Point(0, 0);
                pt = mat.transformPoint(pt);
                ik.moveTo(pt);
    But instead of moving to whatever point I've set for it, it just sits in its default position and wiggles around a little bit when I move. I'm close enough for it to reach the point and it doesn't seem to be trying to reach a different point. So I'm really confused and I need help. Here are some screen shots of what it's doing:
    The only time I think it might even be TRYING to reach the point is when I'm already almost on top of it but then it just moves upward when I do for no reason. It even does this when I'm even farther away from the point than when I was on the ground. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong and I'd greatly appreciate some help.

    BTW I have tried selecting all of the shapes before enabling
    bone tool...saw that as a possible solution on another forum,
    however no luck

  • Help using the Bones tool with imported art

    Hi
    I have a game design project that I have to animate characters for. The Bone tool in Flash seems like the perfect tool for the job!
    Here's my problem: I can draw things in Flash and rig them with the Bone tool and animate them fine. However, I'm much more comfortable with Illustrator. But whenever I try to bring in external artwork, I get lots of errors.
    Create (solid color, single object) body parts as layers in Illustrator. Import Illy file to stage in Flash. Drag bone tool across body. Body is highlighted but I can't connect the other objects. I realize the Armature is only above the body layer and all the other layers are on top. Drag Armature layer to top. Still no luck. The bone just doesn't care about the other objects.
    This is my ideal workflow so I'd love it if anybody could tell me what I'm doing wrong here. Should I make all the elements into MovieClips? That hasn't worked when I've tried it. Should I import differently? Should I make the entire character into a movieclip and then rig the instance on the stage?
    I'll be exporting it to PNGs at the end, so I don't need it to be robust down the line.
    I get other errors with other importing methods too, but I can't recall them ("Can't connect...something" when using a PSD). But like I said: Illy to Flash is my ideal.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Brian,
    There are two ways of dealing with bones. You can either connect bones to a single shape on a layer. Or you can connect bones to multiple movieclips. The bones will link the movieclips together and put them all on one layer if the movieclips are on different layers.
    Shape cases are good to use if you wish to morph the shape during animation. This is really useful if you have simple shapes.
    For more complex shapes (shape with lots of control points), it is best to convert them to movieclip.
    You can read more about bone in the Adobe help docs:

    Q

  • Animating figures with the bone tool

    Can anyone please advise on setting up the bone tool in cs5?
    I have a figure with head, torso and 2 arms and 2 legs, each limb has 3 parts.
    They are all set up ok as movie symbols on their own layers.
    I can create bones for each limb ok, and I can set up constraints on the joints ok, but I can't get everything connected to the torso and to each other.
    Is it even necessary? If I am only doing a walk cycle in place to export as a movie clip and use in other scenes, is it enough to just animate the legs and arms with the bones?
    I would like to do more if possible, but I don't know what the bone tool is capable of.
    Is it possible to create a simple skeletal armature that would connect all my figure?
    Would this give it the sort of movement that if I pulled up the hand then the rest of the figure reacts as well?
    Does Flash have any sort of parent/child options to connect shapes or symbols for animation?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Refer this link for the problem which you are facing.
    hope this will help to you.

  • Ghosting occurs in shape tweens in clips with scale9Grid active.

    Why does ghosting occur in shape tweens?  Is this some kind of rendering bug?  I seem to keep running into stuff like this
    (sorry, first post had image that was not cropped properly by MSPaint and had tons of white space; I fixed it)
    --Background (feel free to skip if TL;DR): My SkinnedButton class supports states for DEFAULT, ROLLOUT, ROLLOVER, PRESS, RELEASE, RELEASEOUTSIDE, TRACKOVER, TRACKOUT, DRAGOVER, DRAGOUT, DRAGDROP, plus all variations of SELECTED_* states in addition to a "selectedMask" and "focusMask" display objects that are automatically arranged, docked, and made visible to suit not only the button state, but also (at least in the case of "focusMask") taking into account the manor in which it entered a particular state (via keyboard, via mouse, via assignment, what the drag source origin was, exact origin clip, custom tracked drag source, whether a drag even began, was cancelled, etc.).  It dispatches events for all of these states and has fallback chains for any that are missing, since they're all classified into simple states out, over, and down.  For example, if no RELEASE state is defined (can be either property named "mc_release" or "release" label on "skin" MovieClip), then it will progressively fall back to ROLLOVER, ROLLOUT, and finally DEFAULT until one is defined.  The bare minimum for a functional button is to define a clip for the default state.
    So anyway, I wanted to animate my "release" state by having the button collapse and expand, and I discovered this odd ghosting behavior.  This is just a simple reproduction of the problem with no special logic, just a shape tween on a clip with scale9Grid active.  It appears as though Flash isn't re-rendering the bottom most shape as its exposed by the tweened shape on the layer above:ShapeTweenGhosting.fla - Google Drive
    I suspect this is occurring because of the active scale9Grid, since the ghosting goes away when you turn it off, but then the button is all distorted.  Turning on cacheAsBitmap exhibits the same behavior.  Again, it's not a performance issue, it's just incorrectly rendering.  I don't see any documentation stating shape-tween animations are not allowed in clips with scale9Grid applied.  The shapes themselves appear to be rendering correctly based on the scale9Grid (i.e. without distortion), but the ghosting is a problem.
    Here is an even more pronounced example with a large shrinking and expanding oval shape:
    ShapeTweenGhosting2.fla - Google Drive

    I posted a bug here: Bug#3767678 - Ghosting occurs in shape tweens in clips with scale9Grid active
    Continued experimentation revealed it occurs on the y axis too, and depends on how much you scale the clip.
    At 99%, 100%, and 101%, no ghosting is observed.  At 110%, it occurs a little bit.  At 120%, the ghosting is very pronounced.  I suspect the problem is arising due to inaccurate calculations of the redraw regions, which may not be taking into account certain scaling factors, perhaps such as stroke widths; however, I reduced all stroke widths to zero (hairline), and the ghosting still occurred, so something is not quite right.

  • PLEASE PLEASE  help with this bone tool tiling thingy

    I am importing a pdf....or bitmap...or tiff...or whatever to flash cs5 library. I am trying to use the bone tool and I did the break apart thingy...and I tried creating seperate layers for each limb of my critter and joining, and no matter what I do it still screws up when using the bone tool.. it tiles the image and  breaks it apart...I ve tried deleting the white spaces after breaking apart and many other things to make this work and IT DOESN"T WORK... HELP.... I also noticed when I googled that others had this same problem and no one had given an anwser, or I couldn't find it...I have spent five days watching bone tool videos and trying everything ...so PLEASE someone give me a clue, an inkling, a direction, a new path to follow, an idea, A FIX!!!

  • Stumped with vector shape tween

    I'm trying to make a simple animation using a vector graphic I imported to Flash after creating it in Illustrator. What I want to do is to stretch the graphic and have the original form grow into the stretched form, by adjusting the vectors to stretch the shape. So far I've gotten this all figured out (I have barely any experience with Flash). I break down the graphic until it allows me to turn it into a shape tween. But when I go to test the animation, it does this weird thing where the inside of the letter (it's a word I'm animating) shrinks and moves out of the way for the inside that matches the stretched contour? Or, the letters start trading places? I'm very confused by this since I have no idea what I did to tell it to do this. How do I just get this animation to be done simply?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Kate

    1. distribute each discrete part of the shape to its own layer (right click on shape>distribute to layers).
    2. tween each layer. 
    3. use shape hints (modify>shape>add shape hints).

  • How to animate with no Bone tool ?

    HI all. ow can I make my Draw walk with no Bone Tool option ?

    Hi Omer,
    Yes, the bone tool was deprecated from Flash Professional CC. To use the bone tool, you can install Flash CS6.

  • Is there a way to add an outline to a shape made using brush tool with Actionscript 3.0?

    I'm animating a character. I've made body parts by making a rectangle, removing the line outline, then adding extra sides by holding the Alt key and dragging out to make the shape I desire. I prefer not to make all the shapes I make into symbols because I want to 'Shape Tween' certain parts. One thing I do want however is an outline on that shape, but not the 'Line tool' type of line if that makes sense? An outline that is made by another shape by use of code! Can this be done?

    Have you tried the ink bottle tool (click and hold the Paint Bucket and you should see it)?
    Note that you can't reference objects through code that you can't refer to. You may be able to dig through the display list and find the Shape and apply code to it, but I think that Shapes get combined and composited in ways you might not expect. In addition, you may find that Shapes get replaced while animating.
