Flash :: Jagged Rounded Corners

[F8] Rec Tool: Rounded Corners Are Pixelated And Jagged
Hello,

I've just noticed that all of my rounded corners created with the rectagular tool produce jagged corners. I tried all the known tricks _quality=high, line wieghts, colors, setting player quality etc.

how can i display crisp sharp clean rounded corners for my rec/boxes?

Is this a new problem in flash 8?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Untidy Rounded Corners
I am currently designing a flash demo where all the windows need to have rounded corners. I have noticed that when using the rounded corners tool in mx 2004 the results are quite poor. The corners are very untidy and jagged. Has anyone else had this problem and if so is there any way to overcome this problem? I've attached a screenshot to show what I mean.

Thanks in advance

Rounded Corners Annoy Me
My Flash movie contains a rectangle with rounded corners. Trouble is the stroke never lines up properly on the corners, no matter how careful I am. I've never seen this issue on professional Flash movies. How can I prevent this?

I attach a screenshot of the annoying rounded corner problem! If anyone can solve this problem, I would be extremely grateful!!

Rounded Corners With Border
I need to create a swf with rounded corners and a 3px border for display on a web page that has a gradient background. Therefore the corners must be transparent (rather than a solid color since that will not match the background). I have drawn the rounded corners border in my Flash file and imported images beneath it but cannot eliminate the outside corners when I create the swf. Is there a way to turn off the background color so that the outside corners are transparent in my swf? Also, the only way I have found to eliminate the outside corners from my imported images is to import gifs with transparent rounded corners. Does Flash support transparency in any other file formats since gifs are not good for photos? Thanks for any help provided.

Rounded Corners Issue
Im in a hurry, so don't give me the "please search before post"-talk. I need to draw a box with rounded corners. I can't get a hang of it. I want to draw it from the following variables:

boxwidth = 200;
boxheight = 200;
radius = 5;

How do I draw this? You should see the artwork I have (by mistake) created while trying to get it right

Scale Rounded Box - Corners Deform
Hi there,

is there a way to use SetProperty on an movieclip with a rounded bow without the corners of the bow getting deformed, meaning that the radius stays fixed ?

Only sollution I found till now is to cut the original graphic in pieces: corners vs. rest and scale these pieces and then position the corners. Of course I get blanks of like 0.5 mm.

All ideas are welcome,

Thanks,

Kurdy

Rounded Corners On Already Built Shape
Hi all,

I am attempting to create rounded corners on the objects pictured below.

I know you can create rounded corners by pressing the up and down key while initializing the shape of a rectangle. However, how do I accomplish this on the three objects in the picture? You can see that one is a pen object, while the other two are broken apart, what exactly does this mean besides the ability to edit them differently. Also, I can't see to close a pen line (i.e. make a circle) by clicking the two open end points, i find it hard to believe that flash doesnt allow it, and its just an error on my part.

Rounded Corners For Shapes In Flash? Blurry?
Here is the deal. When I create a shape in flash (a rectangle with rounded

professional!

Get Rid Of Rounded Corners In Flash Flv Player Skin?
Hi,

I'm using Flash CS3 on Mac OS X creating a couple of clips. Regretfully,
the default flv player skins in CS3 all have rounded bottom corners. As
the site's entire layout is very "square", these corners are standing
out like sore thumbs.

I suspect that there has to be a parameter somewhere within the swf-file
that takes care of this, but I haven't a clue, really.

Can someone please explain how to make the corners square shaped?

TIA

Can I Have Rounded Corners On My Bitmaps Created Dynamicly?
Hello

ok a quick run down what i have managed to (learn) create

I read through a .xml file with a list of .jpg file names
Each .jpg is then loaded and drawn into a bitmap
Each bitmap has a .onPress control so (eventualy when i have learnt howto) a .html or .php will be called.

Each bitmap is placed across the screen at 45 degree angle in a brick wall style layout.
e.g.
.XXX XXX XXX XXX
. XXX XXX XXX
.XXX XXX XXX XXX

ok what i need now to learn is to give each bitmap rounded corners. Is this possible. It has taken me so long just to learn what i have so far!!!!
Many thanks for any help
Mike :o)

Tip: Using Convert Lines To Fill For Rounded Corners
I would like to share a tip that I recently discovered from hours of head banging on the wall.

Download File: Using_Convert_Lines_to_Fills.fla

The Problem:
When using the corner radius feature to draw rounded corner squares, lets say to make a rounded corner web 2.0 button, you begin to have aliasing issues when you publish your file! The problem is more noticeable when you use a dark thin line and a lite fill color to make your square. (Refer to my example flash file). The result is small, ugly pixels around the corners of the square, that makes the rounded corner not look so round. It looks ugly and unprofessional.

The Reason:
This is an educated guess. When flash compresses the fla to a swf, the jpeg compression creates those ugly aliases. uck.

The Solution:
You could crank up your publish settings were your jpeg compression quality is 100%, but this is flash you want to have small, fast, and good looking swf files....right?! Well, select your square and then from the menu select Modify > Shape > Convert Lines to Fills. This converts all the selected lines into a fill. The result should clean up your square corners when you publish your file.

Problem solved.

Note: Since fills are harder to edit and move around this should be done towards the end of your project.

If you have any questions/comments I'd love to hear them. I would also love to make this into a tutorial. I think this would save a few head aches.

How To Make A Flash Movie Appear To Have Its Top Two Corners Rounded
Hi, I have been having this problem all day. I cant figure out how to make a flash movie appear to have its top two corners rounded instead of the standard square. It needs to fit in to my web page that has rounded corners as well, maybe there is some CSS or HTML code I can use to give the appearance of rounder corners, by hiding the square ends. Anyway ANY help on this would be GREATLY appreciated!

Rounded Corners Staying Round On Scaling Objects
Hello, I have a simple menu that consists of rounded rectangles that expand and contract to reveal content. When they scale down (From 90 px wide to 18 px) the rounded corners loose their roundness and get somewhat hard edges.

Is there a way to scale an object and still keep rounded corners round?

thanks much,

Corners
Hey,

I've made a small thing in fireworx, a little arrow in a box. Now i imported that in flash mx, and put it on the scene, but i don't see the botom line of the box

So i thought, maybe i can draw this in flash itself, i started ... but i don't know how to get the corners right. They never are in 90° angle. You gotta really zoom in to see it ... cuz it's kinda small.
If you use the hairline, it's fine, but the line is to small.

I added the fla file so you could see for yourself ...

Hope you understand what i mean and somebody can help me

Jagged Animation
I'm having problems with my movie. I seem to have the fonts working now over the weekend. Now that the fonts are working, I can't get the Flash animation to be smooth. Everything is jagged except for the fonts and texts.

I found that if the movie is published at 100 Percent (to fit the screen size exactly) it's at the expense of the fonts looking crappy, but the Flash animations are smooth. If I publish at "Match Movie", the fonts are smooth and normal, but at the cost of other stuff in the movie looking jagged. Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions? I really need to get this site working.

Jagged Lines
Hello. I just posted my new site which includes a lot of swift 3D v.2 For some reason when a visitor accesses the site the lines jump back and forth from "crisp" to very "jagged." Text becomes unreadable. I publised the HTML file with "BEST" setting. Please help.

Jagged Fonts
Hi,

I am creating a simple animation using static fonts. When I export my movie, using Quality > High, the fonts are aliased rather than anti-aliased.

Can someone shed some light on this issue for me?

Jagged Resizing Go Away

Jagged Animation
This is my second post. No one responded to the first one.

Anyway, I got an animation in one fla. file that plays very smooth (30fps). Now I need to use only some of that animation in another/larger file (30fps). So I copied and pasted half of the smooth animation into the new/larger file, but now it doesn't play smoothly. It's jumpy. Is this a cpu problem? Why doesn't play smooth in the other file? What's the solution?

I already had this problem before solved with the alpha thing. I have read to position the JPG at absolut coordinates but this didnt solved the crappy visualization. Any1 got some other solution to this that seems a stupid bug? Thanks so much to the community....peace

Jagged Jpegs
I did the search and tried all the fixes I read, but none seem to help.

I'm first saving my photos in Photoshop using save for web.
Then importing into Flash. I have jpeg quality in Flash at 100%.
When I publish, the photos are jagged, mostly anywhere there's a sharp line.
I've also tried using an uncompressed jpeg and png and same problem.
I'm on a Mac using 0s 9.1 Flash 5. Is the older Flash my problem?

Thanks, Bud

Thanks

Jagged Pics
Hi,

I have encounterd a very wierd problem. I have made a MC on frame 1 in the root of my movie that contains other MC:s that sums up to a slideshow of different pictures. It all look really good in quality until a add another frame to the root. Then the pictures look all jagged and crappy. I have never had this problem before. So as long as my root dosn't consist of more than 1 frame (I can have as many layers as I want) everything is good. The same probelm occours e´when I try to add new scene.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
