Why is Flash distorting my image ?

I use Flash CS4 for very basic stuff. I've got an image with a perfect 2px black border around it. The border looks even and crisp when compiling in flash but the final movie (when 'Tested') shows an uneven border. Please see attached image. Any idea's what's causing this distortion ? Thanks.

I find when images become blurry or distored in my flash movie, it is usually because the image had been resized in flash. I suggest creating images in the exact size that fits otherwise they will become distorted! check here http://www.bidpax.com the flash movie had blurry images until I used CS4 for the graphics work.

Why new Flash Text Engine (FTE) renders characters incorrectly? (Sometimes there is a space)

I have been trying to create a HTML Wrapper for my CMS, but the old TextField just cant do it.
With the new much more versatile Flash Text Engine (I am not reffering to FTL), I have successfuly created the wrapper. However i have one problem.
WHY new Flash Text Engine sometimes added a space between 2 characters? it makes the text ugly
I have uploaded the image to prove my point
Please Note : That the Left Side is the HTML Text Render (which correctly render all texts)
With KERNING set to "on" , check the word 'underline' and the word 'paragraph' (I have marked it with red circle)
With KERNING set to "off", check the word 'Text' and the word 'paragraph' (I have marked it with red circle)
Now, is there any solution? hell, i should have turned 'on' the kerning right? but both turning 'on' and 'off' presents a problem of their own (in how they add a space randomly)
Any help will be greatly appreciated, or even a "you should look at Class X" will be enough (I am quite proficient in ActionScript 3.0)
Cheers and God Bless,
Chowi

You are right about high CPU usage. It was even when playing various computer games. I don't have problems anymore. But not because I disabled all addons. I did these things:
In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
Search for dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode in the list of preferences.
Double-click on the preference to toggle its value from false to true. (If the setting is already true it means that Flash Protected Mode is currently disabled.)
Close Firefox.
Restart Firefox.
And since then I don't have that particular problem with overloading. I just disabled some of flash protected mode. How is that related with "overloading"? Strage. Hardware acceleration I've enabled again as without it whole text field in news sites is sometimes black.
Thanks anyway Mr.

Importing into Flash a Fireworks image - advice please!

Importing into Flash using a Fireworks image - advice please!
New'ish to Flash so hope I'm in the right forum ;-)
I have made and image using gradients in Fireworks and have been using FW for ages (please see example below).
I am importing into Flash CS4 this image and want to use it with a Flash component however the image quality is really bad in Flash and I cant figure out why. I have increased the image to 300dpi in Fireworks to see if that helps and it doesn't.
I'm hoping this is a simple thing I am missing due to not knowing Flash as well as I do Fireworks.
Really grateful for any advise. P.

Hi there,
No not trying to adjust size of the image in Flash, do that all before hand.
In Fireworks I can adjust resolution but don't seem to be able to in Flash, is this def the case?

Why does flash drop frames ??

I have been conducting some tests and am totally lost as to why flash based broadcasting drops frames.
The genral formula for calculating bitrate is :
bitrate = Width x Height x FPS
Now if this value is lower than Camera.bandwidth then why should flash still drop frames ?? Any assistance/ideas is greatly appreciated.
I have checked with FMS performance tab: bytes in is well bellow Camera.bandwidth as well , but still flash drops frames... why??

oh! you dont have to be an engeer to answer that. I reported you because i saw you had 306 points. Which means you had to be a serious guy giving a serious answer. If you had read my question (you may want to read it again just in case).. here is the answer to it that i could find on my own. There is no need to get things complicated, god created things simple eniough
Refer to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/media/Camera.html
You will see that when we apply setMode funtion to request a width, height and fps, flash will request the device for closest native settings of the camera. I am pasting it here so everyone can read:
By default, Flash Player drops frames as needed to maintain image size. To minimize the number of dropped frames, even if this means reducing the size of the image, pass false for the favorArea parameter.
When choosing a native mode, Flash Player tries to maintain the requested aspect ratio whenever possible. For example, if you issue the commandmyCam.setMode(400, 400, 30), and the maximum width and height values available on the camera are 320 and 288, Flash Player sets both the width and height at 288; by setting these properties to the same value, Flash Player maintains the 1:1 aspect ratio you requested.
So as you see its a simple thing, nothing so complicated as NETWORKING, ALOHA , TCP/IP etc etc . If you wil notice all the situations i have stated, it clearly implies frame drop happens regardless of any bandwidth settings as soon as i go over a certain resolution.
Haver a nice day! Cheers

Has anyone been able to contact Adobe to learn why their Flash Player does not work on Mac OS 10.6.8, no matter how many updates you install? This seems like a big error by Adobe.

I have thee Mac computers with Mac OS 10.6.8, one of which is a Mac Pro. No matter how many updates I install from Adobe, their Flash Player does not work on any of these 3 computers. I don't know how to contact Adobe Systems about this problem, but I think it is their responsibility to make sure that their so-called "universal" software works proplerly on a relatively recent operating system like OS 10.6.8 that is still in widespread use. When you install the updates, nothing happens -- not even an error message. What is the point of a universal player that is not universal? It works fine on my MacBook Pro with OS 9 Mavericks, but it does not work at all -- indeed, has never worked -- on my 3 Macs with OS 10.6.8. Has anyone contacted Adobe Systems to find out why the Flash Player does not work with OS 10.6.8 and what they plan to do about it?

Where are you getting Flash from?
Get the appropriate dmg installer here and then run it.
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
If it still won't install, do these two things: First uninstall any Flash by going into the second level Hard Drive Library>Internet Plug-ins, and trash the Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt. Then boot into Safe Boot, Shift at the startup chime (give it much longer than a usual boot) and run the installer while booted in Safe Boot.

I see a distortion icon image in Windows 8.1 but not in windows 8

I saw distorted icon image in windows 8.1 but not in Windows 8. This bug doesn't affect Windows 8.1 functionality but causes some icons to look ugly, distorted, fuzzy.This bug can be seen in "Delete confirmation dialog box". The
folder icon in delete confirmation dialog box will look distorted and ugly. Black edges will appear around the icon and the icon will not look correct.The same thing also happens in "Send To" menu.
Also heard that this bug is not related to graphics card driver or any other thing.
Hope windows will take necessary actions to solve this bug as soon as possible so that users like us can be satisfied with the new windows 8.1.

Try running SFC scan. Refer the following link for more information:

Why does flash player not work with facebook?

Why does flash player not work with fcebook? Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player. When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one. I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows. I don't know anything else.

This means you don't have the latest version installed. Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Why does Bridge always sort images by rating instead of by date modified?

Why does Bridge always sort images by rating instead of by date modified?
This drives me bonkers. Everytime I look for an image I've been working on, I go to Bridge and I'm always presented with the images sorted by rating instead of by date.
Then I click on the microscopic sized, extremely tiny arrow that allows one to choose 'sort by date modified' and I resort them to find the file I need. So that's always 3 extra clicks to find the image.
WHY can't Bridge sort images by date modified and STAY that way every time I come back?
Thanks for any help.
I know I could just keep the recent files rated the highest, but still, I'm wondering if there's a way to make it work the way I'd like it to work?
jn
p.s. Note to Adobe: Please make the selection button for sorting images arrow larger than a fraction of the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Thanks.

WHY can't Bridge sort images by date modified and STAY that way every time I come back?
By default it does stay at the latest selected sort order so this could mean it is due to your install.
First of all try to reset the preferences for Bridge, hold down option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset preferences. This sets it all to default. First try if the problem is solved then set prefs again to your own custom wishes.
Also check and repair permissions for the OSX itself (Apple has disk utility in the utility folder for this job, and there are other 3th party applications)
And be sure to have the latest update for Bridge. (Bridge CS5 should be 4.0.5.11)
In addition to the method Tai Lao pointed you already to there is a third option, use right click mouse button in content window and the pop up menu has also the sort option at the bottom of the row

Why can 't I store images on my SD care in Lightroom mobile for Android

I don't understand why I can't store images on my SD card. I get that a mobile app can't ever have the same functionality as the desktop version without taking up all the memory, but what on earth made someone think it was a good idea to store images in memory that is not only highly limited, not upgradable, but also used by other apps and more importantly the OS. Why can't I store images on the MicroSD card. That thing can be 128gb which is enough storage to work on a decent collection of images.
I would love there to be some more control over aspects of the image, but what there is works well. It also syncs effectively and there isn't that much lag between each event, but what happens when I need to edit 50 images from a device I keep in my pocket [which theoretically should be viable]?
The most useful feature for me is processing images I've taken with my phone, and syncing them back to Lightroom...
Please tell me that external storage is going to be added?

Transparency problems when I distort Pdf image size (ie: 100%x99%) then Export. Is there away to fix

I sometimes have transparency problems when I distort PDF image size (i.e.: 100%x99%) then Export. Is there away to fix. Or at least be able to preflight and know I have an issue.

Mostly I have seen borders and drop shadows that will just go away or other wise not print right but only when I distort the image and only on very complicated large PDF images. When I print it at same % both horz and vert. this problem goes away.

If you downloaded Flash Player from the standard location http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ then you WILL have the option to decline the bundled install:
If you download the installer from Mike's link above (which is posted several dozen times in this forum every day), then you will not get any bundled software.

Hi FANMixco,
To be clear, you can see the image from your file system but cannot access it from code?
I'd like to know what could be my bug because I don't understand why I can access from the URL,
-> If you can access the image from URL, you should definitely download it and use it, I'm not quite understand your question now.
I'm not knowledgeable with chmod under Linux, let's say if we give it full accessibility, what will be the result?
Anyway if you can see the image from file system, that already means the upload is succeed, I think you may need get some suggestion from php side to see how can we save the image with a correct permission.
I will move the question to off topic, since the question is on the server side but not client side, which is out of the forum support scope, thanks for your understanding.
