Possible To Export Any Vector Graphic Out Of An .SWF?
Just what the subject says.
Can you decompile / import / rip a vector graphic/s from within an .SWF file? Then convert to .ai or .eps from there???

If so, this is sad.

The Best Way To Blur A Vector Graphic?
I'm trying to get a logo (a line of text really) i imported from illustrator to blur gradually from one end to the other and back to normal, can this be done easily or is it more complicated?

I've used the soften fill edges approach but it's just not as smooth and the blur is rather chunky, i was hoping for something a little more subtle and smoother.

Some ideas would be great

Vector Graphic Distortion
Hello,
The question I have is, when I import vecotr graphics into slash as .swf, and then use them in a MC on the "Over" state of a button, the instance of the graphic slightly distorts when rolled over. Also, on some one of my other animations which is an interactive map, on the beginning of the animation, there is a fade in transition, and a weird quirk in the movie when it finishes transitioning. I can't for the life of me figure this out, pleeeeaase someone help me! Thank you.

Button Graphic Distorted... And IT'S VECTOR
For some reason my poor buttons are looking chewed at the edges. I'm not sure why this would happen. The buttons were created in illustrator and they look fine there. They also look normal in the button symbol edit screen and elsewhere in the fla file. Once exported they look as if cookie monster came an snuck a bite!

Of less importance I seem to have a small shift. The info pallet gives me totally off coordinates from MC to score.

Any ideas oh flash ones? I have attached file for perusal.

Blurry Vector Graphic In Flash?
Hi all!

why vector graphic in flash at small size become blurry and ugly. For example, see jpg in attachment, jpg file consists of two printScreens of an swf file (on the left side 2 buttons are blurry at original size , on the right side swf file is zoomed). Is it possible to do something to improve appearance?

Extracting Vector Data From Graphic
Say you draw a graphic:

ActionScript Code:
x.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
x.graphics.moveTo(0, 0);
x.graphics.lineTo(0, 100);
x.graphics.lineTo(100, 100);
x.graphics.lineTo(100, 0);
x.graphics.lineTo(0, 0);
x.graphics.endFill();

How would you go about extracting the vector data from this graphic once it's drawn.

Of course the obvious answer in this example would be to save the numbers, but what if it was drawn in the flash editor before running the program.

I'm asking this because I'm curious at how flash saves this information internally, and if it's accessible from within the program at run-time.

Thanks for any help. / Finn

Need Drag & Drop + Vector Graphic Solution
HI, I'm not yet a Flash programmer but need an answer from an experienced one.

I have a customer that wants to be able to make a drag N drop application that would produce a Vector based graphic (that I could save or email) as it's final product.

Analogy: Imagine a picture frame shape workspace that you could drag items onto, like add an image of the sun and a tree and a bird, then arrange and possibly re-size them, then have some process take this created image and save it as some format that is a Vector based drawing, or I can probably convert it to vector from a GIF or JPG on the backend...

Sound Possible?

How Do You Reverse Your Animation Or Do A Reverse Wipe...
...when loading a new movie or going to a new scene? In other words, when a new movie is fading in and then stoping to reveal buttons or navigation, how do you tell your movie to reverse your frames or reverse the intro animation, then go to and play a new movie? I apoligize it's hard to explain. Here is an example...

http://www.djstevelawler.com/
1)enter the site
2)skip the intro
3)you will then see the turntable and all of the animation fade in along with a drumset that if clicked reveals your navigation.
4)click on "chart" for example
5)the entire animation reverses itself or fades out the way it first came in, this is the effect that I'm after.
6)the chart page fades in along with the navigation
7)clicking the back button and the chart page fades out again just as it faded in and load the portal page.

Please help me out with this. Even if you can point me toward a tutorial I would be extremely grateful.

Thanks!

[F8] Exporting From Vector Programs To The Other Vector Programs
I can do the cut and past thing from illy to Flash but if I go the other way things get ugly. Like simple text that has been broken past in to illy pretty rough and sometime illedgible.

BMP To VECTOR
Ive seen a lot of people asking the easiest way to turn an image into a nice vector in flash. The easiest way is to open your image into Photoshop and apply the filter> Artistic > Cutout.
It basically does it for you.
Then just import your filtered image to flash and trace it.
BRILLIANT RESULTS in no time at all.

Vector Art
I was hoping anybody would know a quick way of deleting single color fills. For example, I'm working on a vectorized cartoon and the picture in flash is just 2 colors, black and white.

I am trying to get rid of all the white color but there's too many white parts that the only way I can get rid of them is by individualy clicking them and this is on a span of over 400 frames. Is there maybe a faster way to delete the white areas or does anybody have a quick method I could use?

Vector LAG
Hi there, I'm attempting do something very simple - moving images in time to a song.

I've imported some very basic shapes from illustrator and animated them so that they fit in time to the wave form I can see in the timeline.

However, when tested, and even when exported as a .mov or .avi the movement is laggy. I could understand this when as .swf as the computer is having to deal with lots of commands but when exported as video?

Does anyone know a way to either a) make the shapes produce less lag (and midn you they are VERY simple shapes) or b) at least get it to export as video?

Much appreciation!

Vector Art In AS3
Good morning everyone,

I'm writing a game in AS3 using Flex Builder 2, and up until now I've been using pngs and programmatically drawn shapes, but now I'm looking to export vector based art from Illustrator CS3 and use it in my game. The trouble is that there doesn't appear to be a particularly obvious way of doing it; I'd have thought that I could export the art as a DXF or something similar, but apparently not. Does anyone have any experience of this? Thanks for your time. :-)

Cheers,

Mike.

Vector Images
I am developing very quickly a nice passion for Flash 5 and the deeper I get the more test movies I make and hope eventually to use within other projects.

One thing I know there are, is lots of wave files to d/l all over the Net and of course you can make your own easy enough.

Vectors on the other hand make me wonder. I have the tools ... Photoshop, Illustrator, Freehand etc. but my turn of fate is lack of imagination! I can sit with keyboard and mouse all day and not come up with much to use.

A couple of years ago I paid someone to do a Flash site for me @ http://www.cdbizzcard.com and my goal is to get that good. That's just one example, but the vectors seem to be pretty good! Are those things that he created in Flash or is there a place to get some images of that type?

The more I look at Flash sites, the more I am amazed at some of the artwork. What I'm getting at is this: Do web designers create all their images in a vector program, or within Flash, before the movie is created? Or is there a place to get some "standard issue" vectors for a newbie to learn to use?

Vector Image
Is there a good progy to use to convert a pic into a vector so that it will resize well with the flash movie itself?

Vector Conversion?
I knwo you can import images into FLASH and then trace them to get a vector image. But what is the best program to use for this? I see a lot of video of people that has been converted to vector and the detail is fairly good (for vector) So I was wondering what the norm. is for doing this type of conversion. Any and all tips are appreciated.

Thanks

Can You Fade A Vector?
Hello, I've been learning Flash for a few days now (I'm using the Hands-On Training book by Garo Green). I'm trying to create a website that has begins with a movie and it has some jpegs that fade up and down. I found that when I tested the movie it was slow to download because of the jpeg size. So I want to convert them into a vector file so decrease the file size but I couldn't figure out how to fade a vector. Is this possible? I'm thinking the answer is no and I couldn't find a thread on this board that addressed it.
Thanks,
Cindy

Vector .eps Into Flash
I'm using mac g4, flash mx

I'm trying to import a vector graphic from illustrator, but every time I do so my flash movie freeks out and just shuts down with no explanation....
What's up??
I have never imported a vector graphic into flash before,
so please help...
I have read the help section in flash & follwed it, see below:

These are the steps I have followed so far:

1)Converted the vector graphic from CMYK to RGB within Illustrator

2)File-Import,

3)In the import dialog box :
Adobe Illustrator from the Show(macosX) files of type(windows)
pop-up menu

4)navigated to the illustrator file and selected it

5) then OPen in mac

6)For convert layers it gives you a couple of options: I just leave it on the default settings becasue I only have one layer to import.

anyway, i tried them all, but flash freeks out and closes and when i open it back up it reverted to the last saved state.

WHATUP??

Tweening Bmp Vs. Vector
Here is a question I am wondering about. When I am tweening/alpha'ing. Let's say I have a background image that is a raster graphic. If I want to fade that graphic out would it be less processor intesive if I created a vector graphic overtop of it and faded that out? Or is it the same tweening a raster graphic compared to a vector graphic.

I hope that info is clear enough!
