I think it looks good. To make a fine detail criticism, something that
catches my eye is that the top of the oval in the intro undulates as it
rotates. I'm not a graphics person, but I know that aliasing is always an
issue. But would this be less noticable if the oval was tilted a bit?

What kind of fonts are not being recognized? What operating system are you
using?
Please provide more information so we can figure out what's up.

Hi Daniel,

> but we all want to learn from the best.
Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on your viewpoint) unprotecting
a Flash movie does little to allow one to study the technical techniques
a designer uses. Even when a Flash movie is unprotected when imported
into the Flash editor a Flash movie is flatten into a single layer.
Movie Clips, actions, sound, buttons, etc. are not available. In fact
generally only surface symbols are available. In other words make
backups of your FLAs because you can save little from the .swf file.
Also note that the protection of a Flash .swf is easy to defeat, but it
being there is an additional statement that your work is yours and is
protected by copyright.
There are a lot of sources of FLA files and tutorils to study including:
The Flash Tech Resource - http://www.FlashCentral.com/tech/
FlashZone - http://www.FlashZone.com/FLAs/flas.html
Flasher Net - http://www.flasher.net/source/
Some designers feel their Art is sacrosanct and deserving of absolute
protection but the unique code and techniques that are used in creating
graphics should be made freely and easily to anyone interested. I feel
differently. I believe that the Art, the code and techniques are all
valuable and should be protected. Of course anyone is free to share
their own unique work as they feel fit.

Subject: RE: FLASH: Font problem in flash3
Fonts have been vexing me lately in Flash as well. I am on a Mac using ATM
4.0 and should be able to use postscript fonts. Macromedia does not
recommend Postscript and says that Flash is designed to work with True Type.
In fact I used Postscript fonts for some time without incident, through the
workings of ATM.
Lately however I am experiencing a predictible and repeatable behavior that
is suspiciously like a bug. When Flash is first launched after system boot,
I am able to export ONE movie that contains Post Script fonts without
incident. If I try to export the same movie again (or test movie) I am given
the error dialog that warns the outlines can not be found and should appear
aliased in the authoring environment. In fact the fonts in question are
anti-aliased in the authoring environment which indicates that Flash is
finding the outlines without problem. At some point in the export routine
either Flash or ATM is failing to provide the needed outlines, but only
after the first time!
I have talked to MM tech support and all they can offer is that I should use
True Type. I have reinstalled both ATM and Flash with no improvement.
If I want to make a movie that contains PS fonts I must reboot my system,
launch Flash and make One movie.
Needless to say this is irritating.

Subject: Re: FLASH: shape tweening
In order to get the effect as described below, I would recommend that each
letter be on a different layer along with your blob. Also if any of your
letters have holes in them (i.e. the letter B has 2 holes), zoom in on the
blob and use the eraser tool to put the same number of holes in the blob as
the letter that is being blended. This will give a better blending effect
from the B to the blob.

You probably need to make an "if frame is loaded" loop.
See my Wait-for-Frame Tutorial when shows the basic technique (in Flash
2 terms). The MM Tech Note 12588 details the exact proceedure for Flash
3.

Daniel,
Just some observations on your 'Call to'.
- -Not using protect on movies will not help you learn Flash at all.
- -Leaving a swf unprotected only allows others to view a linear timeline
of the movie leaving the graphics unprotected.
If you want to learn about Flash there are a lot of resources available
online some of which included the possibility of downloading the fla
files.

Sherryl,
Depending on the exact nature of the game I would say you might not need
to use Generator.
If the questions are short, even if many, you can use a combo of
Javascript, Java, and telltarget via FSCommands to accomplish what you
want.
I hope I can get a series of tutorials online during the weekend that
include a full answer to this.
Please mail me directly ( nigel

Subject: RE: FLASH: Font problem in flash3
We have received a report from another user that the ix Micro Twin turbo
driver (which does some font manipulation of its own) seems to conflict with
Flash. We don't have this item in house, so it's hard for me to test it
personally.
"It appears that the culprit was the latest ix micro Twin turbo driver.
I don't know why, but turning it off made all the difference.
I have versions 4.0 and 4.05 of those perspective drivers and control panels.
There is a function for text acceleration that can be turned off in the
control panel."
As a suggestion, try booting with extensions off and see if you can export
multiple movies without problem. If you can, go to your Extensions Manager
and start pulling any non-Apple extensions and/or control panels to
determine who's the culprit.

Very good save there Andy. By spreading out the effects in the areas
that required heavier computer processing you eliminated (or reduced)
the bottlenecks that were causing the jerky playback.

> action) have helped?
No, Wait-for-Frame If Frame is Loaded) only allows you to test and wait
for a section of the movie to load. In local playback all of the movie
is already available and loaded so all Wait-for-frames are immediate.
The Wait-for-Frame compensates for the Web (or IntraNet) delay.
Likewise preloading objects in an earlier frame hidden from sight would
not affect the quality of the display either.

I don't want to sound snotty, but wouldn't you rather rely on your OWN
creative passion. I've learned many many things from this mailing list and
its gurus... however, the urls posted often here are a source of
inspiration sometimes, not a source of copy+paste... If I see something
intriguing done with Flash, I'll usually think, "wow! how'd they do that?"
and try to achieve a similar effect by oppening the app and starting from
scratch. If I'm stumped, I usually mail the author privately for advice.
But I never expect anyone to give me their .fla file, or to unprotect their
.swf's

I think you are.

That's not the point. The point is that Flash is such a versatile medium
that it demands we each exploit the possibilities if offers each one of us,
varying greatly even from one project to another. If the point was just to
copy+paste, then we'd have ten thousand gabocorps floating around the web.

>Daniel
A teacher told ME a long time ago that the best teacher is one who inspires
you to think for yourself. It's true. I don't doubt for a second that
imitation is a great form of flattery. For instance, three weeks ago I
asked for input on a site I published that contained certain graphic
elements which were also present in a different site reviewed here this
week, created by someone else. Inside, I felt kinda good... but still, it
was a different approach, different focus, and besides, I probably got the
idea from a previous site I'd seen and applied it differently.
And one thing is to emulate an artist's work and another is to blatantly
copy or (dare I say?) outright plagiarize it.
To close off, I'll just say that I think Flash is a wonderful tool because
it dares you to expand the possibilities of what you though was possible to
publish on the web; that is the foundation for innovation and creativity.
You should try spending a couple of sleepless nights experimenting with
Flash for no apparent practical reason... oftentimes you'll meet with great
results.
And of course, subscribing to this list and visiting the Shocked site of
the day also helps :-)

I get a hint when I have no pix, wierd message boxes open up or my
browser crashes. Then I check using technique in MM 12696. Links to why
MIME is needed, how to test and how to set are all at:
http://www.FlashCentral.com/Tech/Index.htm#Server
Every Flash Developer should know if his server has the MIME set for
Flash and the only way to do this is by a proper test. I have even
provided a set of files to make testing of MIME extremely fast and easy.
These files can be used to monitor whether the MIME has been set
correctly on a server and are 100% reliable. They require a Flash
capable browser other than MSIE 3+ Win 95/98/NT. If you only have MSIE
3+ Win 95/98/NT just post a message to a friend or the List. If you have
the test files up, it will take only seconds to determine if the MIME is
set or not.

> Was I just lucky?
Yes, there is no way to know if your browser will work correctly if the
MIME is not set (except for MSIE 3+ Win 95/98/NT) except by checking.

Hi all. Can someone tell me ftp sites where I can download FLA files that I
can study from? All I have right now is the tutorial that comes with the
CD. Thanks a lot; I appreciate any help.

Subject: FLASH: Transparency on graphics
Hi all. I'd like to know if it is possible to make a transparency on raster
or vector graphics that is not in the Library. If so, how can I do that?
This is a simple question, I guess, but I am just starting to learn Flash.
Thanks for any help!

Well. It is a simple table border in HTML.
