Beginners Flash People's Gospel FAQ Big Summary

Beginners | questions 1. What do you mean by the MC, FS, as representative on the forum?

Mc=movie Clip (cartoon break); Fs=fscommand is a very important command set for Flash; As=action script is the programming language of Flash.

2. Please say the detailed application of MC, it and the general layer what is the difference? What is it used for?

MC You can be seen as an independent object. And he's an animation. He is characterized by infinite nesting. Layer is an independent space, he can better plan your production ideas. There is an event in one layer.

3. How is MC played in the scene?

Drag the MC to the scene, it will play automatically when the animation is played, if you do not add STOP,MC in the last frame will default to the loop. To watch the effects of playback you must perform ctrl+enter. A long MC in the scene also occupies only one frame of the position, if it is a lot of frame animation segment, the execution of every other frame MC will replay.

4. Why do objects always move in a straight line when you're doing "moving along the trajectory" animation?

The center position of the first or last frame object is not placed on the trajectory. A simple check: You set the screen size to 400% or greater to see if the circle in the middle of the graph is aligned with the trajectory.

5. Why does the object always move in a straight line while doing the closed path animation?
Remove the closed path and try it out a little.

7. Why is the text button not flexible?

When you're making a button, unspecified hit area (hit area is the trigger area of the button), especially when making a text button, the general definition of a rectangle as a hit area, if the hit area is not defined, the system will be text as a button trigger area, when used naturally is not very flexible. The hit area is hidden and is not displayed in the scene.

8. How do I output animation as a animated GIF file?

After the Publish settings (Publish settings) >format (format) >gif image (GIF) is set up, the GIF file is exported with the Publish (publish) feature. If the FLA file contains an MC, the GIF file will not contain animations in the MC, but will only convert the first frame of the MC to GIF.

15. How do I do the animation of text deformation?

After the relevant two frames in the text ctrl+b scattered in the previous frame text to do shape (shape) movement. In addition, symbol cannot do shape. This means that the object to be deformed is a vector graphic.

16. How can I cut out the text or figure?

Break the word or figure, first use the ink bottle tool to paint its edges, and then select the middle part to remove it.

17. How to adjust the playback order of multiple scenes?

You can add a layer to the word, and then use the background to make a rectangle, cover the word. And the rectangle is set to MC, give the entity a name (Instance name), and then use the Set Property statement programming to implement the jump of the rectangle can be. This approach is suitable for places with more words. You can do it with swish.

36. How does a string of words or a picture become clear by blurring?

First set up two layers, the first layer to place the original clear picture, the second layer placed by the blur (fuzzy) of the picture, the first layer of the image generated MC or graphic, and then the alpha gradient can be.

40. How to make a caption from the top down scrolling effect, and subtitles than the scene small, and subtitles both sides can normal display text?

You can make the whole text first, then let it produce motion animation, so that it moves from top to bottom. Create a new layer, draw a rectangle on the newly created layer, define the layer as a masking layer, and the layer where the text is masked, so that the test film achieves its intended purpose.

What's the difference between Graphic (moving) and MC?

The moving graphic must behave at a fixed length on the timeline, while the MC is unrestricted. If said to stop the animation with the Stop command, graphic stopped, and the MC can continue to cycle movement. One of the biggest differences is that graphic can't do tell Target, and the MC can.

42. How to produce action when the mouse is near?

44. How do I modify the canvas size without changing the position of the finished component?

The question is wrong in itself. The point is that the component location does not change as the canvas changes, and the effect you want is to change the component as the size of the canvas changes. The best way to do this is to complete the animation during the publishing process by checking the HTML options in the release settings and changing the size format of the HTML file. If you want to add a few components to the scene and you need the canvas to have extra space, you can just increase the width or height of the canvas.

How does Flash read the text box "Textfield"?

Load Variables ("*.txt", 1)------Build a text box. Ariable fill in the name you want. For example: text-------build a TXT file. Placed in the same directory as the SWF, the contents of the inside:

text= what you want.

46. What are the methods for exporting transparent pictures?

Only the publication of transparent GIF images is supported in Flash. Tick the GIF option in the Publish settings, which has transparent items, the default format is opaque, the second item in its Drop-down list is a transparent item, check it out, publish it to the transparent GIF format image.

47. How do I keep the imported bitmap still transparent?

Although Flash animations are animated based on vector graphics, we can still use bitmaps in them if necessary. and FLASH4 supports transparent bitmaps. In order to introduce transparent bitmaps, we must ensure that GIF images with transparent portions use a Web216-color security palette, rather than other palettes. In the case of Photoshop, a commonly used bitmap processing software, we have to change the pattern of the picture to the GIF format before converting it to "Indexed Color", when we can choose the palette for the "Web" palette, and then output to the gif89a format, such a transparent GIF image after the introduction of Flash, the original transparent parts can remain transparent.

48. How can you add password protection to your work?

Select Menu Flie-export moive pop-up the following Export Flash Player dialog box, check the "Protect from import" One, you can restrict others to your work import use. But sometimes your own source files have been lost, or to allow friends to import the use of your animation, it is inconvenient. At this point, you can check the "Password" in the dialog box, and then output the animation. This way you can just keep your password in mind and let yourself or your friends import the animation with you.

49. How to quickly scale the scene size of the completed animation?

To do this, press CTRL + A to select all the objects in the section (if the layer is locked, unlock it first), press "Edit Multiple Frame button" (Edit multiple Frames), click the Onion Skin button on its right (Modify Onion markers), and choose Onion all, as shown in the figure, then you can use the Zoom tool to scale all objects to the size you want. Finally press Ctrl+m to open the scene Modification dialog (Movie Properties) and change the scene size you requested. and press the match content (match:content) button in the dialog box. As a result, the size of the scene will match the components of the scene automatically. This method can also be used to adjust the position of multiple frames at the same time, that is, a piece of animation (note: not a frame) when the composition deviated from the side, you can use this method to adjust. Unlike the above method, you simply do not have to go to the scene dialog box for processing.

50. How to make the layer a little tighter?

Click on the right side of the timeline with a black triangle logo, select Short in the menu. The menu also has an option command that adjusts the zoom of the frame.

One of the HTML columns in the Publish Settings is window mode, and a transparent window is OK. However, transparent only in IE can be, in the NC will fail.

52. How to change a picture into a flash file any scaling without sawtooth?

If the import is a bitmap, must be converted to vector graphics format, vector graphics capacity is small, magnified without distortion, there are many software can convert bitmaps to vector graphics, but in fact Flash has provided a bitmap to convert the bit vector graph method, simple and effective. First press Ctrl+r to import the bitmap that you want to convert, select Menu Modify-trace Bitmap. In the pop-up dialog box, the color and Minimum area set the lower, the latter two set more closely, the more the rotation (that is, the Drop-down menu before the option), the resulting graphics file will be larger, the more refined the screen.

53. How to arrange a line of Chinese characters around a center?

Play a character first (don't break it) draw a circle as a guide line, with the guide line to do this character around the week animation, a few words around the animation to make several frames, rotate select None, the Orient to path, and then each frame into a keyframe, delete the guide layer, Select the Onion skin function Edit multiple frames, select all frames, the first frame after all the frames are cut, ctrl+shift+v to the first frame, the surround is done, and then change each character to what you want on the line.

Flash5 inside eliminate text sawtooth with which implementation?

The text entered directly inside the flash can be displayed in a sleek

Note the menu View>antialias texts item is selected.

55. How to neatly Plan the tool panel in Flash?

57. How do I call an external library file?

Open the menu File-open as Library, you can easily use the symbols. This is such a simple practical question, incredibly many people do not know! Further, you can also select the File-open as Shared Library command to directly invoke the symbol library in the online FLA file, and the elements in this library need to be downloaded only once while the client is browsing. All of the items used in this library element of the movie place, the client will automatically call these elements without downloading again, can save users a lot of download time. This is especially useful when the team is developing together. This is the charm of the Flash5 "shared element Library".


58. What are the techniques for converting formats in FLASH5?

Flash5 added to the RealPlayer file format output of the full support for their own work on the Internet release, since then another choice, is really surprising. Some people like to use flash GIF animation, or for other uses, need to convert to AVI or MOV format. But sometimes found that a lot of animation information is lost for no reason, the Flash animation applied movie Clip. This is not exactly a skill, but it tends to confuse some beginners. The fundamental solution is one, do not use movie clip in the animation. Of course, you should not expect the generated GIF, AVI, or MOV animations to support the SWF file interaction. When outputting animation to AVI format, be careful to choose the compression method (such as Microsoft VIDEO1, etc.) that comes with Windows.

59. Output animation save for AVI format and then look at AVI, the MC does not move, how to solve?

One, will you want to use the MC size for Sing Woo want to film the same size as 400*500.

Second, build a new layer.

Enter your MC directly into this layer.

All right, you're going to have to export an AVI. Adjust the MC If your position is not correct.

Enter the text you want to write for example, say "move" word, choose a good font, adjust the size, break, this is the last frame. Copy, plug in the previous frame. Erase the last stroke of "move" with an eraser, which is the penultimate frame. Copy it again, and then rub it in the reverse order of the stroke, which is the bottom third frame. Here's the same. Every time you rub how much, you can feel, you can also refer to some of the source file writing effect. One thing to note is that the usual place to write when the pause to add one or more keyframes, as long as the speed of the play depends.

66. How to optimize your work?

As little as possible with a large area of the gradient, especially deformation (Shape), the second is to ensure that at the same time the gradient objects as little as possible, it is best to arrange the changes in the various objects at different times.
How to reduce the size of the animation file: fewer bitmap or node-more vector graphics. The borders of a line or widget are as basic as possible, with fewer dashes or other fancy shapes. Try to use Windows with its own fonts, less with odd Chinese fonts, as much as possible to reduce the font type of an animation species. The use of graphic or movie clip should be used in less-frame animation and repetitive movement changes. Animation output, the use of appropriate bitmap and sound compression ratio.

67. How to invoke EXE files in Flash?

SetProperty ("XH", _x,random (10)-5);

SetProperty ("XH", _y,random (10)-5);

In the second frame add: gotoAndPlay (1);

.does the stop script in a keyframe play a role?

The Stop statement stops playing only the frame, and does not stop the execution of the action statement for the keyframe where the stop is located.

What is the role of the path in Flash?

If you have used DOS, you can easily understand the path of the flash. Simply put, a path is the way in which a variable or symbol (symbol) can be found in flash programming. The same way as DOS, divided into relative and absolute two kinds.

79. How to change the size of the SWF after the transfer?

SetProperty ("Mc_name", _xscale, size_x);

SetProperty ("Mc_name", _yscale, size_y);

"Mc_name" As the name implies is that the MC names, "_xscale" and "_yscale" refers to the MC X and Y point position, this position is used to control the size of the MC. Its "size_x" and "size_y" to set the size of the MC specific value.

.How do I change the position of the SWF after it is transferred?

An easy way to do this is to move the MC that has been placed into the Mocie file, and drag it with the mouse, just like we used to change the position of a picture.

Another method is to use SetProperty to change the position of the MC.

SetProperty ("Mc_name", _x, "position_x");

SetProperty ("Mc_name", _y, "position_y");

"Mc_name" is the name of the MC, "_x" and "_y" refer to the X and Y coordinates, and "position_x" and "position_y" are the exact values of the position.

81. How do I get an MC to call a variable set in another MC?

Enter this statement in the MC: (a B are variable names, Mcname is the entity name of MC)

83. How do I invoke MPEG files in Flash?

Flash does not support the invocation of MPEG files, first to install a three-party software, named Swiffcanvas1.0; then open the FLA file, if the MPEG file directory is aa,mpeg file name is BB, then you can add the following statement:

FS Command ("exec", "Swiffexec (Local:aaa\111.mpeg)");

Then the FLA file output as EXE file, and Swiffcanvas open this EXE file, and then set up in Swiffcanvas to complete their own requirements. The final output is the. exe file, which is OK.

Repair: If you think the above method trouble, you can download an auxiliary software Flix (Flash School Software Park), it can be MPEG and other video files into SWF files, and then import Flash or from the external call, external call animation reference under the answer to the question.

.how do I load external animations or other animations in the MC?

We often use the case of loading a child animation (SWF file) in the active drawing. However, when loaded in this way, the animated animation is often not located in the coordinates we need. There is an easy way to solve this problem. Let's build an empty MC first. Drag the MC to the main scene and name it (Instance), such as "BB". Then add action to the corresponding frame in the main scene, fill the URL in the action panel with the SWF file that you want to load, "Target" in the "Location" column, and then fill in the "/bb" in the nil. The Sub SWF file is loaded into the MC with the entity name "BB". Now, as long as we control the position of the MC in the scene, we can control the exact coordinates of the loaded child animation.
