What I do after generate sprite sheet?

Hi,
I generated my sprite sheet. I have two files. One png and one xml file. How do I use xml file in Flash? Is it possible to generate sprite sheet and use it in a movieclip?
I want to put my animation on stage with programation (AS3).
Thank you,
Have a nice day.

Please refer the tutorials here
You will get an idea how sprite will use animations.

Incorrect size of TextureAtlas using "Generate Sprite Sheet..."

1. create a shape of any size. a 4*4 rectangle for example
2. using "Generate Sprite Sheet..." to make a TextureAtlas
3. check the generated config file, the size is wrong: "<SubTexture name="Symbol 1 instance 10000" x="2" y="2" width="5" height="4" pivotX="0" pivotY="0"/>"
width should 4, not 5.
Both Flash Pro CS6 and Flash Pro CC have this bug.

Hi Qizhi
Can you try this. Round of the X and Y position to a whole number on the stage.
Example . Make X = 335 and Y = 54 for the symbol on stage.
Let me know if this helps.

Generate sprite sheet problem - MaxRects and Stack frames issue

Hi.
After last update of Flash CC, I have two problems with generating spritesheets.
First, using MacRects Algorithm, there are a few strange rotated texture. This is old bug from Flash CS6.
Second, using Stack Frames, 32 frames animation ( have 12 key frames ) became only 5 textures.
I think this option make silmiliar frames into one statcked frame. But too much stacked. I lost 7 key frames.
What do i have to do??

Thank you for your reply. But I think it's not the font problem.
The A alphabet is just used to replaced the original picture.
I can't post the picture because it has copyright.
I am wondering if it's a bug of flash. There are always a few clip got rotated near the end of the png.
can someone give any help?

Multiple Movie symbols into one sprite sheet

I have my character split into different symbols. Arms, Head, Body and so on. Each symbol (movie clip) has its own timeline of animation. How do I get all of my symbols into one clip without losing animation? I've tried selecting all of the symbols and and creating a new movie clip out of all of them together but when I try to covert to sprite sheet, it is just my entire character with no other sequences of movement on the sprite sheet.
Thank you in advance

There are a couple of things you could try depending on what exactly you need.
1. Assuming your character has all the different body parts as separate symbols with their own animations within.
     a. Select all the body-part symbols in Library or on Stage, right-click and select 'Generate Sprite Sheet..'
     b. Check the sprite sheet preview - each of the selected symbols are packed one after the other.
2. If you have one Movieclip containing all the body part symbols and you wish to export the animation as it is ==>
     a. Double click on the main movieclip to get inside it.
     b. Select all the body part symbols on stage and change their instance type to Graphic in the Properties panel.
     c. Increase the frames in the main movieclip's timeline (press F5) to cover the entire animation of its children.
     d. Now generate the sprite-sheet for main movieclip from library or stage and check the preview.

Why are my sprites sheets not sizing/aligning properly?

I'm trying to export my Flash animations as sprite sheets to import into the Unreal Engine. But I keep running into issues where the reported sprite size/locations reported by Flash aren't quite right.
My example generated sprite sheet, it was generated with no border/shape padding:
The first bit of the sun.json file it generates, it says every frame is 214 x 214.
{"frames": {
"Sun Spin0000":
    "frame": {"x":0,"y":0,"w":214,"h":214},
    "rotated": false,
    "trimmed": false,
    "spriteSourceSize": {"x":0,"y":0,"w":214,"h":214},
    "sourceSize": {"w":214,"h":214}
If I load the sprite sheet into cs6 and shrink the canvas size down to 214 x 214, you'll see the first frame is already starting to show tiny slivers from adjacent frames.
I'm not using padding around the borders or between frames. You can see the there is enough padding already IMO. The problem to me seems to be that Flash
isn't properly outputting the the values into the JSON file, which then I'm using to import into the Unreal engine. If I can't trust these values to be correct,
even if I were to add in padding to alleviate this, I will still have to manually adjust the frame size/locations of every frame of every sprite sheet by hand.

what's the size of your untransformed suns? are they 214x214?
if so how are you loading your spritesheet and displaying the sprites?

CS6 Sprite Sheet animation alignment puzzle

Hey all, I greatly enjoy using Flash CS6's Generate Sprite Sheet tool since it's much much quicker than exporting all the sprites and using TexturePacker (though I wager TP would provide far better optimization). One problem I seem to have is aligning different animations to the same origin - which isn't the origin of the sprite (top left corner).
Say my character Jim has two animations:
Run (small sprites, as he runs in place)
Jump (short and tall sprites, and a bit wider than the Run)
I currently generate a sprite sheet by highlighting both clips and right clicking. This gets me a perfect Sprite Sheet with both animations and their respective names (based on MC name). The Run and Jump frame sizes are different, because the Jump sprites are taller than the Run sprites -- this all makes sense.
What doesn't is that there's zero information on how those two animations should be placed such that Jim can go from playing his run animation and then his jump animation with his feet in the same place, despite the fact that if you inspect either of those clips Jim is standing right at Flash's little origin point at the start of both.
Sure, the data file (JSON in my case) has all the offsets for placing the individual frames in the right place, but how do I align Jim's feet from one set of frames to the next without having to do it all by hand? To date the only workaround I've found is to dump all the animations into a single timeline such that they all take the same frame size, but this is TERRIBLE for managing sprites and animations since it gives all the frames the same name as the combined timeline.
What I really need is another set of numbers in the Sprite Sheet data file that tells me the frame x & y offset from Flash's movieclip origin. I have a suspicion this doesn't exist and is impossible.
At a loss here other than aligning each animation's frame by hand, which may have to be done every time an interal sprite changes size.
Thanks for any insight, none of the Adobe pages or demos go into any depth other than creating a sprite sheet of a single image or animation.

Yes, I understand how to make animations blend together, but my question relates to the technical side of how sprite sheets are generated.
When I generate a sprite sheet from multiple animation movieclips each animation has a unique frame size that Flash calculates and codes into the data file, and that frame size is not the size of document but the size of the smallest frame that can fit all of the sprites in the animation. I can't control this frame size or define a region within the document that is the frame size. Each animation within the sprite sheet could have a different frame size.
I'm interested to know if there is a way to view, generate, or export the data that would relate one animation frame to another so that a character (Jim) could be standing at the movieclip origin in the Run animation which is size A and also be standing at the movieclip origin in the Jump animation which is size B, and not only are A and B different sized frames, but none of the corners are coincident. Since it doesn't do this currently I'd have to manually code the offsets of each animation to a common origin instead of being able to use the one that's already in Flash.
I don't see how any of the default data that is exported along with the spritesheet PNG could relate that info and I'm very curious.
(I could do it by putting every animation within the same movieclip, but then the spritesheet tool is pretty useless since it'd all be one animation)

After PGI what document can be generate?

0000 on the end of a subTexture name in the sprite sheet generator

How can I get rid of the 0000 on the end of a subTexture name in the .xml atlas file created sprite sheet generator? (I'm using the Sparrow v2 option) is there anyway to stop that form being tacked on?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Terry,
You mentioned DNS servers. I see a DNS tab in the Network settings control panel. Right now there is a single IP address in the DNS Servers list. But just about everything in this control panel is mumbo jumbo to me. I know barely enough to keep myself operational, but I'm often hesitant to monkey around in there. I'm happy to listen, however, if you want to clarify further.
DNS is the system that converts the human-readable web addresses into things (namely the IP address) that computers can use to find the other computers out there on the internet. Think of it as being like a phonebook - say you need to call Bob, you'd check the phonebook to find out his number to call him.
So, for example:
- say you type www.apple.com into the web browser
- the browser then makes a request to the DNS asking for the location of the Apple web server (it's IP address)
- the browser then uses this IP address to contact Apple and request the page
In Charter's case, when you type just 'apple', instead of their DNS servers returning that the address does not exist, they instead redirect you to their search pages instead.
So, if you specify different non-Charter DNS address (the ones I mentioned above are from Verizon), you should avoid the problem you are seeing. Make a note of your existing entry if you're worried about replacing it and then you can change it back should this not improve things.
Hope that makes more sense, but yell if not

What good are Sprite sheets in CS6?

In Flash CS6 one can create sprite sheets. What benefit or relationship does this have to direct flash development? What is the primary purpose for Adobe putting this feature in CS6?

The most direct use is if you use the Starling Framework for game development. Starling is an ActionScript version of the popular Sparrow framework. You can use sprite sheets to transfer you assets into Starling-friendly version.

Animate 2014 sprite sheet import different than docs

Edge Animate Help | Import sprite sheets
Importing from just an image creates a single symbol. Importing with the help of an .eas file creates individual symbols. The docs say both processes create separate symbols - which isn't really helpful. Under what circumstances would I want separate symbols created for a sprite?
It would be a cool feature to import individual symbols defined in an .eas file if it wasn't sprite data.

Hi Chip,
There are 2 types of SpriteSheet can you can import into Animate CC 2014:
1) Created from Flash Professional
In this case you have a Image File and a corresponding metadata file(.eas) which has information on how the sprites are arranged.
From Flash, you can select multiple symbols(having animations) and export as a single spritesheet. These Flash Pro individual symbols has different sprite sequence names in the .EAS and are therefore imported as individual symbols when they get imported into Animate. You can refer to the SpriteSheet lesson in Animate CC 2014 which has .eas file having these multiple symbols imported.
If you export only one symbol as a SpriteSheet from Flash Pro, then you will get only one symbol animation in Animate too.
While Importing the Import SpriteSheet dialog in Animate will show you the number of sequences that are present in the imported .eas file.
Some cases where you may want this single spritesheet for multiple symbols:
If you encapsulate multiple animations in a single sprite-sheet the number of round trips when you composition is viewed in the browser does get reduced therefore improving the overall performance for your content
But one aspect to note is to not have a very huge spritesheet image size(2k * 2k) which will make it non-performant on mobile devices
Currently there is no option to select the sequence within a .eas file at import time. That is a good suggestion and will be a good enhancement for this feature.
2) Image only SpriteSheet which has same sized images tiled in order
In this case, there is no metadata associated with it and therefore when imported after specifying the row/column/padding options; you always get only a single symbol created in Animate as part of the import process.
Hope this helps

Help: importing PNG's Alphas to make a sprite sheet

Hi All,
I need some help with making PNG sprite sheets with Photoshop CS4 Extended.
The issue is with Photoshop. When I bring in the PNG animation sequence image 1 then 2 I lose the alpha after that.
What is the best way to bring in multpel alphas to make a sprite-sheet? The trick I have used so far has given me
bad results.
* Note: I have rendered out 35 frames of an animation sequence from 3Ds Max 9 as .PNGs & .TGAs with alphas.
Thanks in advance :-)
My curent way of doing this is:
Steps:
1. Launch Photoshop CS4 Extended
2. Set document size to 256X512
3. Set up a grid 32X32 pixles
4. Open Frames 1 to 35 of animation
5. place frames in order on sprite sheets
Note: open "Channels Panel" observe only the 1st frame has an alpha
And my work-around is to do the same steps for the alpha by opening each frame in Photoshop and going in the Channels tab and selecting just the alpha layer. Then copy and pasting it into new photoshop document to make the sprite sheet's alpha. Once
the alpha sprite sheet is done copy and paste it into the original sprite sheet document.
This sounds like a lot of steps and it is...

Hey All,
Thanks for posting :-)
Hi Chris Cox,
The PNG format out of Photoshop does not work in computer game graphics for some reason so the game artist use SuperPNG. To get SuperPNG to work it must have an alpha channel for the transparency to work in game engines like GameMaker & GarageGames.
HI Paul Riggott,
I am using a software tool like File Sticher called GlueIt and it is working great for me. But this is one extra step I am trying to remove to my art pipe-line.
Here is the current result in the GameMaker v7.0
Here is the my current work flow in Photoshop CS4 Extended

Forced to close RoboHelp after generating SSLs in order to edit content

I have reported this as a bug, but wonder whether any of you have had similar experiences and, if so, how you resolved it.
Have to close RoboHelp after generating SSLs in order to edit content
Steps to reproduce bug:
Open project from Visual Studio Source Control (Team Foundation Server).
Select a Single Source Layout and generate the output.
Try to edit a topic. The Check Out dialog box says "To modify this document, the files in the list below need to be checked out from version control. Do you want to check out these files."
Click Yes.
Results:
The Cannot Complete Operation dialog box appears. "The files in the list below could not be checked out from version control. Exclusive access to these files is required to modify this document."
Click Close, close RoboHelp, and restart RoboHelp.
Expected results:
The files should be checked out from version control with exclusive access when I click Yes to check them out.
When I look in Source Control Explorer, the file I tried to check out is not even checked out. Even manually locking the file for edit from Source Control does not free the file for editing in RoboHelp.
Thanks.
Carol

Problem after generating BIAR File

After generating a BIAR File (a backup file for my Business Objects) I got this error when trying to import a universe in Designer:
There is no Universe file attached to the Universe InfoObject
One of my co-workers told me that if I didn't have a backup of my universes I had to export the universes from a PC where these universes were saved locally. But what if I didn't have them saved locally in other computer?
He told me that the best advice for this is that I have to backup all my universes before generating a BIAR File because this error is caused by the BIAR.
Why? If BIAR files are supposed to be backup files of everything (universes, reports,etc.) why do i have to backup my universes before executing this process? It doesn't seem logic? Why does this process corrupt something that Designer doesn´t let me import my universes?
Does someone know why?

Well, I think it happened when I chose the same BO repository as destination to itself and I really wanted to generate just a BIAR file, but by mistake I made it wrong. Now I've been carefull and I chose the right destination - a BIAR file- and this issue has never come back again.

Sending Email after generating Files

Hi Experts,
My requirement is very specific , I am using PI 7.0 and the scenario is outbound proxy to file.
I am required to generate some files from the incoming XML structure and place them on a destination folder.
But it is also required that there must be an email sent to a set of id's as soon as the files are created , I have three questions :
a) What is the mechanism by which SAP XI can get an acknowledgement back from the folder after the file creation to send an email ?? Is it possible to receive an acknowldgement in this scenario and send email via mail adapter
b) Should SAP XI send an acknowledgement back to SAP after generating files or after the File receiver Adapter bean is excuted for SAP to send the email ?
c) Do i have to use BPM essentialy for this ? and if yes .. can you please forward some links specific to this scenario , i have never done BPM
thanks
Dev

Hi Praveen
Thanks for your reply
I request you to please help me with some links on BPM as you said send step and requesting acknowledgement , since I am new to BPM ,,,
how difficult is that , to accomplish ?
Is there a blog or an article which displays a step by step for this or something similar to this ?
it will be really helpful
thanks
Dev

Sprite sheet from PhotoShop CC 2014 layers to Edge Animate?

Hi
The Photoshop CC 2014 script that takes layers and generates a sprite sheet to the latest Edge Animate does not appear to work correctly. Unless I"m missing something very obvious (that isn't in the instructions below provided by Adobe), it doesn't take the seperate layers and seperate them out correctly in the output png file.   Any suggestions? Thanks - would LOVE a quick answer -
http://blogs.adobe.com/edge/2014/09/18/export-sprite-sheet-from-adobe-photoshop/

Hi Sharon
You are right. Open the .jsx file in text editor of choice and change the function the following:
function translateActiveLayer(deltaX, deltaY) {
    //see http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/photoshop/pdfs/photoshop-cc-scripti ng-guide.pdf on how to use script listener.
    var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
    var ref = new ActionReference();
    ref.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID("Lyr "), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt"));
    desc.putReference(charIDToTypeID("null"), ref);
    var coords = new ActionDescriptor();
    coords.putUnitDouble(charIDToTypeID("Hrzn"), charIDToTypeID("#Pxl"), deltaX);
    coords.putUnitDouble(charIDToTypeID("Vrtc"), charIDToTypeID("#Pxl"), deltaY);
    desc.putObject(charIDToTypeID("T   "), charIDToTypeID("Ofst"), coords);
    executeAction(charIDToTypeID("move"), desc, DialogModes.NO);
Will PM you the updated script if needed. ( And also the blog post soon )
