The Gradient Handle in Flash MX

I did a search, but I'm probably just not using the right
search terms.
When I select the gradient handle, sometimes it seems to
inexplicably take up almost half of the page. How can I fix
this?

I have that problem also. The gradient handles appear
somewhere else on the stage. When you click the center of the box,
it jumps to a different location. You have to search with your
mouse to find any other handle besides the center. Very glaring
problem for the much touted CS3.

  • Where is the gradient editor in Flash CS4?

    Hi,
    I'm on an intel iMac, and trying to make the switch from Flash CS3 to CS4. I have done several searches for this topic and to no help thus far.
    I'm familiar with the gradient editor in CS3 but I can't seem to find it in CS4. I have found the Color Editor which has a few basic, preset radial gradients along the bottom but that's all.
    I've searched the tool pallete as well. I appreciate any help and apologize if this is a dumb question. It's early and I'm tired.
    Many Thanks, Frank B.

    Window> Color
    Change the type to a gradient and then you can edit.  It's pretty much the same as CS3, so perhaps I'm missing something in the question..

  • Where is the gradient tool?

    Hi,
    Where is the gradient tool in Flash CS4? Please reply.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    There is no gradient tool in Flash but there exist a Gradient Transform Tool (which is inside the Free Transform Tool, pls click and hold on this tool to view the Gradient Transform Tool) that helps you to modify/transform the gradient applied.
    However you can apply a predefined/custom gradient from COLOR panel and saved gradients from SWATCHES panel. To Define a gradient from COLOR panel, you can choose Linear or Radial from Type drop down and you can adjust the gradient on the bottom of the panel using gradient sliders and color stops.
    Thanks!

  • Why are the gradient control handles invisible in isolation mode?

    Whenever I have an object grouped, and double click to edit it, I can't get the gradient control handles to show up inside of it.
    How can I get them to show up and why did they disappear in the first place?

    Are you referring to the control handles in the gradient panel (A) or on the object (B) itself?

  • Lost handles on the gradient tool in LR4

    Hi,
    Does anyone know the quick fix for this problem? Currently when I use the gradient tool I have no way of gettng back into the individual gradients that I have created - the little clickable circles that used to show up on the image have gone! Have tried everything I know about without reinstalling the software as Im scared of damaging/ loosing my catalogues and settings. Before you ask, yes I am in the gradient tool - the adjustments panel is viewable and apart from invisible handles seems to work as usual.
    Cheers,
    Emma

    Genius - thanks so much my migraine is fading already!

  • What is the problem with Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.257?

    I tried to update to Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.257 using FireFox. I get the screen that says "initializing" and that seems to go okay. I am then shown the screen that asks me how I want to handle updates. I choose notify me. Then the download starts. It completes 47% and then I get a message that says Timed Out. Adobe does not seem to have any solutions. I downloaded it fine on Internet Explorer. FF is the only problem

    Currently, I don't have any version of Flash installed as a plug-in on Firefox.
    On Internet Explorer, I downloaded the 11.xxx - no problem.
    The previous version of Flash for Firefox was 10.3.xxx - I was using that until I went to a frequently visited website and it prompted me to update to the latest version.
    I began the download.
    First thing I saw was the installer started "Initializing." That stopped and then I was ask to select an update method (automatic, notify me, no update). I selected Notify Me. I clicked Next and then download and install started. It stopped at 47% and gave me a Timed Out message. It then said that it was unable to install. I turned off my antivirus software etc. No luck. No message that I can find indicates that it is getting blocked.
    One of the suggestions I read was that, if the 11.xxx version did not download and install, then I should uninstall the earlier versions. I did this. Still no success. The problem continues.
    Bing Maps: That has been going on for about one year. I cannot get any search results if I type in a location. The map appears for a brief second and then disappears. It is like it is getting blocked but I cannot figure out how. It does not happen on IE. I was using Firefox on Bing maps fine - this was an overnight change.

  • I just really need to know... After desigining my UX, how do I go about adding the image into ADOBE FLASH BUILDER to script on top of it?

    I just really need to know... After desigining my UX, how do I go about adding the image into ADOBE FLASH BUILDER to script on top of it?
    Any and all advice is welcome.

    Do you have different versions of the graphic novel pages, or is there just one version of the page? If there is one version, can you crop into the page without losing anything important?
    I would guess that there is one version, and that cropping into the page will lose something important. If that's the case, here's how I would handle it:
    Make a stage that is 14:9. The size doesn't matter, but 1400x900 could be a good starting point.
    Put down a background texture that fits well with the look of the other images. Make that fill the 1400x900 stage.
    Place your page graphics so that they are within the center 1200x788 area of the stage.
    Set the stage scalemode to "noBorder".
    You now have a layout that will work on all devices, as narrow as iPad, and as wide as iPhone 5. All without any code. On the widest devices you'll see a bit of your background pattern to the left and right of the page graphic. On the narrowest devices you'll see a bit of background pattern above and below the page graphic. But you won't lose sight of anything important.

  • FLV/Mp3 Cue Points for Accessing Frame Labels on the Main Timeline in Flash 8

    Hello,
    In Flash MX2004, creating cue points for syncing locations on
    flv and mp3 files to locations on the main timeline included:
    1) Dragging a media component onto the stage
    2) Entering file path, frame label name, and time code
    information in the component inspector
    3) Creating the frame label names on the main timeline, and
    4) Enabling the Media Labeled Frame Cue Point Navigation
    Behavior
    Flash 8 documentation details a considerably different
    process of creating cue points. While it discusses how to create
    cue points in the flv, I have not been able to locate how to enable
    linking locations in flv and mp3 files with frame labels on the man
    timeline. It appears that there would need to be ActionScript
    necessary to accomplish this that is not available in the docs.
    Please advise what ActionScript/process would enable this
    function.
    Thank you!

    I usually start off solving problems with the livedocs, as I
    recommend for anyone. The following link will take you to the
    NetStream.onCuePoint handler. This is what you need.
    http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context= LiveDocs_Parts&file=00002561.html
    You can have this code on the main timeline. When the
    cuepoint is hit, it will invoke this event handler and inside is
    where your gotoAndPlay( ) should go.
    Your other question about the text will get activated by the
    same handler. Just have a conditional statement (if, switch, etc.)
    to differentiate between the two events. The text itself can be
    mask inside a movieclip.
    Does this help?

  • Gradient Mesh in Flash

    Is there a way to acheive the same or similar results by creating gradient meshes in Flash the same way that Illustrator offers?
    I created some images in Illustrator using gradient meshes and when i bring them into flash it automatically converts my vertor art to bitmaps.
    just wondering if there was a way to stylize objects in flash using something similar to a gradient mesh,
    thanks.

  • Gradient Banding in Flash

    I'm doing movie titles and can see banding in Flash, which
    shows up in the exported pngs etc. and I have to figure a way to
    get rid of it. Not all the gradients do this. Is it a matter of the
    two colors being too contrasty? Anyone know any work
    arounds?

    There is actually banding almost everywhere .. its just more
    noticeable in
    certain places (eg near the yellow going into orange) .. if
    you look closely
    at magnified pixels, you see banding elsewhere as well
    Is there banding when you play in Flash itself .. or is it
    only when you
    export to jpg/png ??
    It would help to see the FLA (or at least the SWF)

  • Do not buy the USB3 PNY Turbo Flash Drive!

    I have highly recommended the USB 3 PNY Turbo Flash Drive in the recent past as a fantastic Read storage device.  Well do not buy it.  PNY drastically changed the memory chips inside without changing the model number and now it is a terrible device for holding your media for editing operations.
    Thanks to Randall for making me aware of this problem.  I now have 4 of the older good type and 3 bum ones.  Here are two Windows 8 transfer plots of a large AVI file from the USB 3 Flash drive to a Samsung 840 Pro on my laptop.  The first one is the original one that I purchased last July with a file transfer rate of 185 MB/s, and the second plot is the lousy performance of 120 MB/sec.of one of the last devices purchased in November.
    The new ones are usable but nowhere as desirable as the 1st generation.  I checked several websites and see that they no longer advertise the old faster specifications.  Also I have tested all my devices and scoring is consistent and very repeatable.  Now, that I know it is possible, I will start looking for a new vender that give the great read rate ideal for laptop editing.  Of course it is not as convenient as a USB 3 Flash drive but my Vantec NexStar 6G USB 3 SSD enclosure with a Samsung 840 Pro drive has a Read rate of 250 MB/second. 

    Bill,
    It looks like you may have to settle for a slower flash drive at this price point for the foreseeable future: Every single one of the USB 3.0 flash drives at this capacity point that delivers at least the same level of read performance as the original PNY Turbo costs much more money than the PNY. ($150-ish for a SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB USB 3.0 flash drive, anyone?)
    With that said, the PNY Turbo 3.0 is only intended to compete with the slower USB 3.0 flash drives such as the SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0 drive (whose maximum read speed is only 100 MB/sec even in its largest-capacity 128GB version).

  • How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?

    How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?
    I have a few hundred computers running Adobe Flash Player.
    The operation system is Windows XP.
    They are Compaq 6005 desktop PC’s, with an inbuilt ATI radeon HD 4200 video card.
    We have a persistent issue where viewing a flash video (e.g. something on youtube) causes the video card driver to crash.  You are left with no video signal to the monitor.  Audio continues and the computer still responds to commands. This only happens when watching flash video.
    We have tried:
    Updating flash plugin (numerous versions)
    Updating the video card drivers (we have tried the last three video card driver versions, including the HP drivers and ATI drivers)
    Updating the browsers (this problem happens with IE8/9 and Firefox10/11/12)
    There seems to be two ways to work round this issue.  One is to disable the video acceleration in the ‘troubleshoot’ section in the advanced part of the display settings area in windows.  The other way is to start a flash video, right click, go to ‘settings’ and untick the box marked ‘Enable Hardware Acceleration’.
    Doing either of these things allows the user to view flash videos with no apparent issues.
    Is there a way to disable the hardware acceleration in Flash without visiting the PC?  Perhaps an undocumented option in the mms.cfg file? I understand that you can use an option to skip the video card check, and so force hardware acceleration on, can you do the opposite?
    Thanks in advance
    Daniel.

    Hi.
    I have had over 200 views, and no suggestions as to how this could be fixed.
    I have also posted in the general flash forum, that thread has fewer views.
    If I should put this question in a different forum please let me know which one.
    If what I am asking is not possible is there a mechanism for escalating this issue or requesting a feature for the next version of flash?
    Thanks.

    Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.
