Flash :: Rounded Corners

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!!

Jagged Rounded Corners
Ok I know the topic of jagged rounded corners has been brought up before, but for the life of me I can't figure this out. If I make a rounded rectangle, circle, what have you the rounded parts come out jagged no matter how thick I make the stroke. If I zoom in it gets clear.
So what's the deal? I'm using MX 2004.
Any help would me great.
Thanks

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

Rounded Corners Are Not Smooth

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
corners a white fill with a black stroke) and convert it to a symbol (a
button) the rounded corners on it show up a little blurry and choppy in my
.fla file. How do I get rid of this because it doesn't look very
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

Greetz,

Radius Corners
Hello Peoples, I am new to this forum and flash in general. My site is http://www.mosaictilecreations.com/. I recently built this site and a friend in Calgary did the animation. The one thing I would like to do is place radius corners on the Mosaic Sea Animation. I dunno, somehow the sharp corners just seem a little harsh. Anyway, if anyone can help me accomplish this I'd be grateful. Cheers, scubes

[F8] Rounding The Corners
i have this quick function to make a box with a green-ish background:

Code:
function makeBox(){
newsBox = imageBox.createEmptyMovieClip("newsBox"+X, imageBox.getNextHighestDepth());
newsBox.init();
//news bg******************************
newsBg = newsBox.createEmptyMovieClip("newsBg", newsBox.getNextHighestDepth());
var newsBm:BitmapData= new BitmapData(300,12,false,0xbcff39);
newsBg.attachBitmap(newsBm, 1);

}
works fine, but is there a way to make the corners rounded, rather than "right angles". Thanks

Hi there,
I have a pretty old version of Flash, MX I think and I'm simply trying to draw a box with a 5px outline that has sharp corners.

It's driving me mad, can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong???
Thanks.

Why Does It Round My Corners?
Okay...I am just trying to import single vector graphics in MX from Illustrator 10 by exporting them as swf files in Illustrator. My problem is that when import them in flash, the export/import rounds all of my corners on my graphic. For example, in Illustrator, I have a series of small 2x2 pixel squares...in Flash the corners are all rounded. Any ideas???

Rounded Text?
I am attaching a link to a screen shot. This is a file I am trying to edit for a friend. I have never had to make text in a circular form before, so how the hell do I do this? do I actually have to make each individual letter? Please tell me it isnt so!!!

I have to add to the text on the outer circle. If someone can give me a pointer, I'd be forever grateful

Rounded Rectangle Fun
I need some help with the rounded rectangle function of Flash MX 2004 Pro. My project includes several graphics made in flash with the rounded rectangle tool. However, when I publish the file, the graphics do not form properly, making the shapes apear badly drawn. Flash seems to have a problem dealing with the rounded corners and cannot correctly line up the straight edges of the box.

This has been an issue since I started using flash and only happens to the rounded edge shapes. Has anyone else had this problem or any ideas as to how to deal with it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Rounded Text
With the acception of useing alternate art applications and importing the image into flash. Is there a simpler way to make a string of text rounded?

Maybe a componant that can be installed, or perhaps a trick that you might have, or somthing dead simple and I havent seen yet?

The example below was done the hard way. Just broke down the text adn started to make it round. Perhaps a motion guide could help?

Thanx in advance.
