Flash :: How To Make An Image Smooth In Flash

Make Big Image Small So When The Stage Is Zoomed It Still Looks Smooth.
Hi,

I put an image (JPEG) in a flash movie. When I zoom into the movie the image distorts, I mean, loses resolution. That is just but obvious. However, when I resize the flash player to make it smaller, (the movie shrinks as expected) the image distorts again, this time, resizes very ugly looking sharp instead of smooth, as if I'd have shrink it in mspaint.exe.

What I want is to embed / just put an image that is big enough so when the user zooms (at least once) or goes full screen the image zooms as well still having resolution and when the movie shrinks maintains a good quality as well.

How Do I Make Flash Movies Super Smooth?
I've seen some really smooth animations on the web and I was wondering what I need to do to make my movies animate smoothly too. Do I only need to bump up the framerate? I know scene complexity is something to consider. I guess what I'm looking for are some guidelines to making animations smooth. I have flash MX by the way.

Here's an exampleAEM website

Loading External Jpg Into My Flash, How To Make It More Smooth?
I have an animation that loads diferent jpegs depending on the button pressed.

eg.
I have A, B, C button and a.jpg, b.jpg and c.jpg thats in a seperate folder but is where the swf file of my movie resides.

My animation that makes a blank movie slide from left to right across the window for example.

If I press button A, a.jpg would load into the blank movie and slide from left to right and if I press B, it would load b.jpg into the blank movie that slides left to right.

The problem I am having, is that if the computer is slow, sometimes the blank movie would slide left to right but the image would only appear halfway of the slide because it has not loaded the image into the blank movie yet.

How do I go about doing the following. If button A is pressed, the blank movie will only start sliding if the a.jpg is fully loaded into teh blank movie first.

Smooth Image Scroll In Flash
what's up forum...

many flash ads these days, incorporate an image...scrollling across the window....i'm trying to get this effect (which is quite simple), but it's not turning out very smooth...i have a frame rate of about 35 and have spanned the movement over about 250 frames, i'd rather not use this many frames...but i want the image to move across very slowly...but very smooth...right now..all i could get is a very jerky motion...hope my explanation was clear...

any ideas?

How Do They Make This So Smooth?
Take a look at the scrolling banner at the top of this page --> http://www.voyageur-gear.com

The banner has 18 images, scrolls VERY smoothly and yet the animation is only 33.5K. How in the world do they do that?? I have tried to make a banner that scrolls just as smoothly by upping the frame per second to like 50, but then the movie ends up at over 250K!!!

HELP ME PLEASE!!! How do they do that??? Is there some action scripting going on in there that helps it out or is there some trick that I don't know about?

Thanks in advance...

How To Make Smooth Animations
Hi,
I have been trying to make simple animations like motion tweening a ball (graphic symbol ) or using guide layer to animate an electron around the nucleus.

The problem I am facing is that I find these animations are rarely smooth. If you observe closely it is a jittery motion....not very pleasing to look at.

I tried changing the frames per second rate.....from 1 to 120, but it does not produce the smoothness..

Would you know how do I go about doing smooth animations?

thanks!

Make Smooth Movement
One more question. I tried to create a floating effect on a big image using motion tween. When it moves, the movement is very jerky no matter how slow I make it by increasing the frame.

Is there any way to make the floating effect smooth? Thanks again for all the replies.

How Do You Make A Smooth Scroller?
Hi guys... I've got a quick question. Is there a good tutorial site where I can make my own, smooth scroller? The way it works is when you click on the bar and drag down the content it should move smoothly unlike the regular flash built in scrollbar. Another question is how could I incorporate pictures into that?

Thank you.

[AS]how To Make Line More Smooth?
hi, the code below will let the line to follow my mouse, but the curve is a little bit too sharp, it's not like a smooth curve when I move my mouse...how can I make the follow line more smooth?..thanks

Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("test", 1);
onEnterFrame = function(){
lineStyle(1, 0, 100);
lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
}

How To Make A Smooth Animation?
Hi friends

This is my major problem since I started to work with flash,
Look at this simple 360 viewer.
Its just an image that moves when you move the mouse. I used the traditional onEnterFrame() to make the animation. But as you see the transition is not smooth( jumps sometimes), I thought it's because the frame rate is not constant, so I tried to set positions using the time difference between frames but it didn't work either. I really don't know why it's happening.

Does anyone know how can we make a smooth transition?

Here is the code I used for animation:

Code:
speed=10;
this.onEnterFrame=function(){
img._x += (Stage.width/2-_xmouse)/speed;
if(img._x>0) img._x = 0;
if(img._x<Stage.width-img._width) img._x = Stage.width-img._width;
}
Here is the code which is using time difference:

Code:
this.onEnterFrame=function(){
d = new Date();
time = d.getTime();
dt = time-lasttime;
lasttime = d.getTime();

speed=500;
img._x+=((Stage.width/2-_xmouse)/speed)*dt;
if(img._x>0) img._x=0;
if(img._x<Stage.width-img._width)img._x=Stage.width-img._width;
}
and here is the .fla

I appreciate for any helps.

Help: Can´t Make Pictures Roll Out Smooth
Hi:
I´m trying to make an art gallery with 4 buttons that represent like 5 pictures.

Everything works out good. But..

Let´s suppose I´m in gallery 1 and would like to change to gallery 2. I would like for the pictures from gallery 1 to roll out smooth then load pictures from gallery two.

I´ve been trying to assign 1 and 0 to the variables but they don´t work out as I want them to. They skip some frames.

Let´s suppose Gallery 1 has

Button 1 has:
on (rollOver){
if (out=="1"){
gotoAndPlay("gallery1");
}
}

the time line has

1---------------------10-----------------------20

frame1 has:
out="0";

frame 10 has:
if (out=="0"){
stop();
}

I would like it to go after you click button 2 that it would first go through 11->20 then load gallery 2.
Thanks in advance for anybody who helps .

[F8] Make Smooth Gravity Rollovers?
I have made some rollovers here, but I would like them to have smooth gravity. Right now, I can only make them so when you rollover, they go up and down.

However, when you roll off, they abruptly stop in their original place. I would like to have them so that they slowly roll back into place from wherever the user happens to roll off them.

The .fla is here if you want to take a look.

I've got some text that scrolls up with testimonials on it, but it doesn't scroll smooth. I'm using just one large text file and tweening it upwards. I upped the frame rate hoping that it would make the tween smoother, but it doesn't. Are there any other ways to make the tween smoother?

Is There Any Way To Make Smooth Seemless Sound Communication?
Hello, I created video chat application with Flash 8 and Flash Media Server 2. Everything works fine.
But while communicate with voice, sometime it breaks connection for maybe a second(s).

I think it depends on server or server's line speed or both party's network environment.
Bit is there anyway void or minimize this problem? (i.e. By configure FMS setting or use some function(s) of Action Script or Server Side Actionscript)

Please someone advise.
Thank you.

Smooth Image Rotation, Is It Possible?
I have an image I want to rotate 90 degrees in a relatively short period of time, however when create the tween and go to view the output it looks like the image is jumping between pixels while rotating. I dont want to rotate the image in photoshop every few frames and import into flash since that would be a huge file. Is there a trick to this, or are smooth image rotations simply not possible in flash?

Smooth Image Transitions

Smooth Image Rendering
Hello wise ones,

I am working on a movie in Flash 8. I have imported some photos from photoshop CS2. The problem is ...I can't put a matte background on the photoshop file when I save for web to smooth out the edges cause there are various colours on the background image the photoshop file is being placed over. Does anyone know how I might go about smoothing out the edges on the photoshop image?

Thanks in advance!

Why Is Image Not Smooth When Rotated?
hi,
I am loading images into a container and rotating them later on by -5. Problem is, the rotated ones are all jagged. How can I prevent this?

Image Smooth Tween
I have five images in a row on my site and every now and then when I roll mouse over one up comes the other and then I try to close one and the other is jittering. Why?
I created a movie clip for each image and also a movie clip within each movie clip.
I did a motion tween on first frame for each and the tween goes to frame 8. I also put '8' in the ease box.
I placed a -- stop(); -- on frame one and frame two. The transition is from small to large. On the scene, I wrote:
on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
this.swapDepths(1);
}
on (rollOut) {
this.gotoAndPlay(8);
}

Why are images jittering every now and then. Perhaps the ease is too high. It is on 8. Not sure. Please advise. Thanks.

Smooth Image Animations
I can't seem to get a simple image pan to look smooth. I've used different fram rates, different image rsoltuions, but no matter what I do, panning an image slowly always looks choppy. I've also previewed on many powerful computers, all with the same choppy animation.

I've seen smooth zooms and pans on the internet, but can't seem to get the same quality of animation. Here is an example, there are slow zooms and pans mixed in with fast ones and the it is all smooth. http://austinhardware.com/

Any help would be appreciated. I am using Flash 9.0

Imported Image From Photoshop Not Smooth
why when I bring in a picture that I scanned in photoshop to flash does it come in with such jagged edges? I scanned them in at a decent res. and also did not scale them in flash, only in photoshop. I've tried diff. formats as well, jpg, tiff, pds, etc. can i make them look cleaner?

Prevent Auto Image Smooth?
In Flash 8 my images seem to be made extra smooth when I compile my project, I don't want them to be like this, in fact... if I set the quality to low my images look just like I want them (just like I created them)... BUT when I do that it messes up all the text...

Is there a way to sharpen the images in Flash 8? Can you do it through actionscript?

Smooth Image At First,then All Of A Sudden Jaggy?
I've seen it happen before to one of my images on another swf file. Didn't change a thing on the image, saved my fla as another version for back up , then suddenly my image is jaggy (a little pixelated), why does that happen? I didn't change any parameters at all.

Smooth Image Scaling (an Easy One...)
I've built a clip with an image on frame 1 which I want to appear slightly larger in the final frame. It's a restaurant's menu which needs to appear as though it's hovering above a tabletop on mouseover.

Building the clip itself was of course no sweat at all, and all my mouse events work fine. My only problem is that the animation of the image scaling is so ugly. This movie is 31 fps and I've made sure that each symbol's -x and -y measurements are in whole increments. Images are HQ PNGs with alpha channels.

I'm not really in a position to post any of what I'm working on yet, so I can't provide a good example. The actual image scaling is just full of artifacts, as if it's trying to scale in all directions at once before finally arriving where I need it to be.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Smooth Scaled External Image
The problem here is that loaded from external source and scaled image looks very bad - it doesn't smooth.

Here is the code, please paste and look at it:

Code:
_quality = "BEST"
this.objLoadImage = {};
this.objLoadImage.onLoadInit = function(image) {
image._xscale = image._yscale = 50;
image._width = Math.round(image._width)
image._height = Math.round(image._height)
image._x = Math.round(image._x)
image._y = Math.round(image._y)
image._quality = "BEST"
image._alpha = 99;
}
this.mclLoadImage = new MovieClipLoader();
this.mclLoadImage.addListener(this.objLoadImage);
this.createEmptyMovieClip("image", 5);
this.mclLoadImage.loadClip("http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutor...tDemoMetal.png", this.image);
I was trying to use techniques which should help (rounding coordinates, setting _quality to "BEST", setting _alpha to 99), but they don't help.

The same image embedded in bitmap symbol in library (not loaded) and placed on Stage looks ok (we must set _quality to "BEST" and "allow smoothing" bitmap symbol property).

Any ideas?
