XML Imported Links Shift
Hi,

I have an issue with links in a text box which are pulled in from a xml file.

The problem is that when I have the antialias setting set to Advanced the links will shift their position to the left when you hover over them.

If i turn the antialias setting off or to Normal the problem is fixed, but the text doesn't look as nice.

Here are the settings for my textbox.

Code:
bodyText.defaultTextFormat = txtFmt;
bodyText.styleSheet = cssStyle;
bodyText.embedFonts = true;
bodyText.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
bodyText.textColor = 0x555555;
bodyText.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
bodyText.selectable = false;

bodyText.condenseWhite = true;
bodyText.multiline = true;
bodyText.wordWrap = true;

Any help is appreciated.

Problem With Imported Images
Hey all...

I have a little problem when I import images into my flash movie.. If I start a new movie and import a .png or .gif image it all looks like it should when I zoom in..... But when I then test the movie it doesn't show it right.... it looks like it has duplicated the image and then moved it down by 1 pixel..... The image i've imported has a bright top line and a black bottom line, both 1 pixel thick.... It's very annoying because when I test it the black line at the bottom is gone and the bright line at the top is now 2 pixels thick

Anyone had this kinda problem also ?

Any help would be appreciated

Transparency With Imported Images
Hi,

Do you know the best way to import graphics to Flash? The problems I'm running into are this:

1) Is there a way to import graphics and maintain transparency?

2) What are the most popular file types to import, and from what program? I think Fireworks is a good one, but not sure.

Thanks.

How Do I Edit Imported Images?
I have drawings and pictures that I'd like to import to Flash and then be able to edit them with the flash drawing tools.
The drawings and pictures are in JPEG and BITMAP formats.
I've been able to import them to the library, but when I put them on the stage - I am unable to use any of the drawing tools like the brush or paint can. I can skew and "combine", but that is about it.

So how do I make a JPEG or BITMAP image editable?

Thank you in advance,

Changing Imported Images
Is there anyway to change an imported image into an actual flash type object that can be used like any object created by flash?

Because I want to use an imported image for a masking effect, but its a gif so i dont know how i would transfer a pixel image into a flash vector. I had to make that image in pixel format just to clear that up.

Thnx in advance

Images Imported With A Hue Effect
How the heck do you import a fireworks image onto the flash document with the image still bieng with it hue/ or seethrough effect. I really have tryed over and over again but i find it cannot be done if it can? then can you import it onto a dreamweaver etc with that effect in tact.

If you still don't know what i'm saying then its the kind of effect like looking out of a stainglass window. that effect on an image whcih i want to import on flash or dreamweaver and move the image anywhere on the document with that effect visable by i.e. overlapping.

If you still don't know what i'm talking about then please say so and i'll get an image of what i mean posted here!

Centering Imported Images?
Quick question:

I'm creating a photo gallery. All of the JPEGs are on the server and I'm loading them into Movie Clips via the loadMovie command. Is there a way to get the images to center in the movie clip instead of aligning at the top left corner?

Thanks in advance for any help!

[CS3] Scaling Imported Images
Hi,

I have a Flash Actionscript 2.0 project in development and I have imported images onto the stage that I want to scale when the mouse hovers. However, when I scale, the images distort even with the slightest increase in size. Is there a way to prevent this?

TIA,
Matt

Jerky Imported Images
I've created a simple movie clip which fades an image in and out.
For some weird reason (and i've seen this in other flash movies) the image jerks at some keyframes.

Whats happening is that an entire column (possibly more) of pixels vanishes at some keyframes, practically like the image has been cropped at the centre.

i've removed smoothing on the images, thinking it was a compression problem, but this didnt solve it. I'm at a loss at what to do!

Centering Imported Images
Hello,

I am having difficulty centering jpgs that i have imported into the library with the stage. when i paste to center, the image is pasted centered to the bottom right of the canvas. when i test the video, it looks incorrect, when i post the video to website, it looks correct.

ideally, my canvas center would be my paste to center as well and would look correct in testing, and after posting it to the website.

my canvas size is 560x420.

any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Thanks!

Printing Imported Images
For some reason, Flash won't let me print images I've imported, like .jpgs or .pngs. Other computers with other copies of the same program, though, seem to have no problem printing from the same files.

Does anyone know how to make it so Flash will print the whole image? Is there some option I need to toggle somewhere that I can't find?

Border Of Imported Images

Resize Imported Images
Can't figure this out.

Is it possible to anyway resize an image after it has been loaded into a moviClip through loadmovie ?

Can't get the code to work. Say somepicture.jpg is a 800 x 600 jpg.

Ex.

loadMovie("somepicture.jpg",MCfoo);
MCfoo._width=100;
MCfoo.height=100;

Skewing Imported Images
I want to import an image and then skew it slightly using actionscript. I know how to import images and such but what I need to know is how to skew it with AS without distorting the image too much.

Thanks

Imported Images Are Fuzzy
Hello,

I'm trying to import some jpeg buttons I've created into flash. Once they are imported, they become fuzzy and pixelated.

I've taken the following steps to fix the problem, to no avail:

1) Go to library > right-click on the image > go to properties > uncheck 'imported jpeg data' > change the quality to 100

2) In Publish Settings, "JPEG quality" is set to 100.

Any ideas? I'm using Flash 5.

Zooming Imported Images
I would like to construct an application where I would have a screen that shows a number of buttons and a framed area above those buttons (like a window). When one of the buttons is clicked, an external .swf or .jpg file would appear into the framed area above the buttons. \This is the easy part.

After the external image file has been placed into the frame, I want to be able to magnify or zoom into details of that image without the image extending past the outside of the frame (again, like looking at the image through a window). Also, I want to have the option of moving the image to see areas that may have been covered by the frame when the image was zoomed in. \Does this make sense so far?

The only thing that I can visualize is to create the stage and buttons on the root level, when a button is clicked - create a new MC and place the external .swf or .jpg file in that MC on level 1, and then some how create a mask on level 2 (window that shows the external image on level 1) at the same time.

Does anyone have a tutorial that they can point me to that shows the technique or code available to do this type of thing?

Problem With Imported PNG -images
This is a kinda strange problem. I've been working with flash for 8 months now, and every time I import a transparent PNG file (created with photoshop) there is something terribly wrong with the transparent area. It's seems to have a tiny glimpse of colour in it! And it's suppose to be transparent!!! Now, I talked to my friends about this, and there's nothing wrong with my eyes

Flash MX creates a little, coloured area around the imported PNG. It's not easily detected, and sometimes I cannot observe it on different monitors.

Anyway, I guess you people know about this problem... So what is the ultimate answer

Why Do Imported Images Look So Poor When Published?
I have never understood this issue since I started to use Flash Many moons ago. When importing a gif image to use in Flash it becomes distorted, the bottom right corner seems to get chopped off. Does anyone know how to get it looking like it should do as at the moment it looks nothing like the original picture. I have tried changing jpeg quality to 100 in the publish settings but it doesnt seem to have made any difference.

Thanks

Using Lasso Tool With Imported Images
Hi,

I imported a JPEG image into Flash and I want to edit that image using the Lasso tool but flash won't let me.
Here is what I want to do:
-Look at the right image in this flash movie, you see how the picture is cropped (doesn't have rectagular edges), that's what I want to do with my image.

Difficulty Editing Imported Images
hey, i'm new to flash, but i'm figuring out a lot of things using tutorials pretty quickly, but one thing keeps hanging me up.

i import .gif's or .bmp's and when i try to edit them (with a fill or painbrush or whatever), it only affects what's behind them. i want to be able to paint or draw on the image itself, or alter it using the wand or the lasso. for some reason, it just pretends like the image i imported isn't even there. any ideas? i'm not adverse to just thinking that i'm borderline retarded and will never get this, but any help would be appreciated.

Quality Of Images Imported Into Flash
I need to import transparent images into Flash. I am using high quality gifs but the resolution is lost in flash on the screen. Can anyone suggest an alternative to this. Or how to solve resolution problems. Is there other formats that would help achieve the two goals of quality and transparent aspects of the image.

Thanks
Collin

Can't Read Size Of Imported Images?
Did I miss something here, or am I unable to read the size of images that I import? I'm using a fairly standard

Code:
var myImage:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("myImage", this.getNextHighestDepth());
myImage.loadMovie("0010-1.png");
It works just fine, but it won't return the size of the image at all. Am I doing something wrong?

I've been around a while, but haven't had to do this for a couple of years (oddly enough), and can't remember if this is how this used to be an issue.

Imported Images Dont Appear On Stage
Hello,
This is an annoying bug that been bothering me for ages. When ever I import images into Flash 8, they appear off the stage. To fix this I have to select each image individually and recentre them or import them into a movie clip and then centre that. Is there a way to have Flash automatically go through all the frames and place each image on the stage? Thanks in advance!

Imported Images Don't Retain Demensions
This may seem like a trivial questions, but I will ask anyway.

I sized a group of .png images in Photoshop to 760 X 570. After importing them into Flash I find that they have changed to 569.9 X 427.4. Is there some why to tell Flash to retain the original dimensions?

Images Imported Into Flash Appear Bad Quality
I imported png from ps into flash & they look like they're really bad quality when the movie is viewed. I've never had a problem w/this before. I did realize that this is happening when i use free transform to tilt the images. They are perfect when they are level in the movie. Can i not tilt images in flash?? thanks

Alpha Channel Of Imported Images
I have created in image in PhotoShop and have given it an Alpha channel. I'm trying to find a file format that i can save it in that will make it possible for flash MX to see the images Alpha channel. I have already tried *.tif, *.png, and *.gif. Maybe I am saving them wrong. If there is anyone that would know how to do this I would be stoked thanks.

Get Image Dimensions Of Imported Images
Is there a way to get the height and width of an image that was loaded via an xml file? I am making an Image Viewer and I want the display to resize to the dimensions of the image loaded.

Thanks

Jagged Lines On Images Imported
I am so annoyed with flash.

I am sure I didn't have this problem with Flash 5..... why oh why oh whyyyyy, do my images look jagged and crap even if I export the movie at high quality??
I am so baffled at Flash MX sometimes. I think it can be really buggy.

Any comments?

Imported Images Wrong Size?
Hey,
Now is may seem odd (or maybe Im just missing something really obvious) but please bear with me.

Im importing images (gif, jpg and png all tried!) into flash as a background for the movie. Now I have created these in photoshop so I know they are the correct size, 130 x 84 pixels.
Once in imported into flash they appear tiny, the properties panel however says they are 130 x 84.
My movie size is 130 x 84 but is way bigger than the imported image! what the hell is going on!?!?

White Space On Imported Images
When I import an image into Flash MX, how should I get rid of the white space bordering the image? This is probably a ridiculous question, but I just didn't see any simple way of doing it.

Shape Tweening Imported Images.
It's been a long time since I've used Flash 5 and I was certainly no expert ever, but, I could have sworn it was possible to shape tween images. I have no trouble shape tweening items I draw in Flash, but I cannot get the images to tween. Here is my sequence:
Open Flash.
Import first image.
Break apart first image.
Click on frame 15.
Insert keyframe.
Import second image.
Break apart second image.
Click on timeline between the two keyframes and select shape tween from the Frame panel.
I get the green timeline and the arrow but the tween doesn't work.
This was supposed to be a simple thing for a friend and I've already spent 3 hours pulling my hair out wondering why i can't make this simple thing work.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chuck.
