Re: Applying filters with AS - 15 years ago
Unfortunately you cannot tween the filters without reapplying them. So basically you would continually create a new instance of the FlashEff filter, change the properties of the filter and apply this new instance on the object.by negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)
Re: Flasheff and pre-loaders - 15 years ago
I've posted an example on how to preload FlashEff animations: http://www.flasheff.com/forum/read.php?23,1207. You can use the same technique to preload other stuff.by negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)
Re: how can I make sure that my swf plays only when fully loaded? - 15 years ago
FlashEff is an animation component so it has nothing to do with loading or preloading. This job is left to another component/piece of code. Anyway, I've posted an example on how to preload FlashEff animation but not necessarily just that. You can actually use it to preload anything: http://www.flasheff.com/forum/read.php?23,1207.by negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)
How to preloade FlashEff animations - 15 years ago
The easiest way would be to have one .swf file with your FlashEff animation and another separate file for the preloader. In the animation file, we recommend the FlashEff instances to be placed on the stage starting from the 5th frame, so they would have plenty of time to initialize, otherwise they would pop-up once, just before the animation starts. Also, the animation file should have a stoby negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)

Could you send your source files to the support team ? (support jumpeyecomponents com). They will take a look at them and see what's wrong.by negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)

Could you tell exactly the steps you made to apply those patterns ? What patterns did you apply and what settings have you made ? Also, did you apply the patterns on some movie clips ? Did those movie clips have some sort of filters ?by negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)
Re: I Have A BUNCH Of Errors - 15 years ago
Oh, if you are trying to recompile a fla containing the FlashEff, you should replace first the component, otherwise it will look for the classes it contains and that could be the reason for your problem. Anyway, if you don't manage to sort it out, just try to send over your source files (support jumpeyecomponents com) and we'll have a look at them.by negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)
Re: Text effects stalling... - 15 years ago
Sorry, I didn't quite understand how your animation goes. Do you have code that loads several animation from external .swf files ? In that case you need to make sure that the file is completely loaded and then you should start those animations "manually" by using code because there is a problem with the Flash player loading external animations: once the animations are only partially loaby negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)
Re: FLASHEFF & Loader - 15 years ago
Unfortunately it will not happen this year because our agenda is already full. Hopefully we'll be able to create such a component next year but right now I cannot tell exactly when will that be.by negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)
Re: Help Dynamic Text problem - 15 years ago
@ray77 Thank you for sharing this. Indeed, you need to make sure that all the characters you are using are embedded from the start. Also, instead of using TextField.text to set the new text into the text field we would recommend using the htmlText property, since the effect itself requires that the "Render text as HTML" option is activated. Further more, the auto kerning setting shouby negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)
Re: I Have A BUNCH Of Errors - 15 years ago
The first error message is dispatched by the component itself (FLASHEFF ERROR: Target must be a non-null DisplayObject) and it means that you try to apply it on something that does not exist in the display list. The rest of the error messages are a direct result of the first one. So you need to make sure that the FlashEff component instance is applied directly on a Sprite, MovieClip or TextFieIdby negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)
Re: persian unicode text.. - 15 years ago
Normally FlashEff should be working with any text encoding as long as the characters are embedded. However, we cannot tell you exactly if it will work because it's very hard to test it on absolutely every type of character and all fonts. But you can try it out with the free version of the component.by negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)
Re: how to change mouseevent type in FEBParticle - 15 years ago
@mike We could create a customized version for you but that would cost extra. If you are interested, let us know and write to the support team (support jumpeyecomponents com) describing exactly the features you request. They will get back to you with an estimate.by negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)
Re: Applying filters with AS - 15 years ago
Here is how you can add filters by code: - the filters should be added after the show() method has been called and also the target clip should be hidden before the show effect, so you need to set the alpha property of the myFace1 clip to 0 when you add it to the stage; - then add the filters after the show() method call var blurFilter:FEFBlur = new FEFBlur(); myEffect.addFilter(blurFiltby negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)
Re: Blinking FlashEff logo and troubleshooting - 15 years ago
@mrfowler Unfortunately I managed to reproduce the problem and indeed there are times when Flash does not detect the changing of property values so it will not allow saving the file with the File->Save command, only with the File->Save As command. Also a few of my colleagues experienced this problem and we might have found a workaround for this. We modified the panel and updated it so neby negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)

Re: Dropdown menu will not go back up. - 15 years ago
My colleagues confirmed that this indeed happens only on Mac and we've found a workaround to close it. The panel is already on the server so next time you start Adobe Flash and open up the panel, it should already download and use the updated panel. Please let me know if it's still happening.by negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)
Re: Flasheff and pre-loaders - 15 years ago
Actually this problem exists for any Flash clip, not just the ones with FlashEff. For example, if I would use the Loader class to load an external .swf file which contains some time line animations starting on frame 1, that animation would start playing as soon as the necessary assets were loaded, even if the entire content was not completely loaded yet. The solution is simply to put a stop()by negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)
Re: Dropdown menu will not go back up. - 15 years ago
Unfortunately this problem seems to persist only on Mac. It seems that there is a problem with Adobe's ComboBox component (that's the one used for the patterns list). However, there shouldn't be the need to close Flash. It should be enough to close and then reopen the panel.by negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)

Re: Applying filters with AS - 15 years ago
@Anders I've tested your code and it works. It simply applies a show and hide effect on a target clip and starts the show effect. You mentioned something about filters not being applied, but in your code there are no filters. There is only the show and the hide effect applied on the FlashEff instance.by negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)
Re: Button params - 15 years ago
If you set a non-existing parameter to the FlashEff instance will not throw any errors because the component is based on a dynamic class. However, it will not know what to do with those extra parameters and that's why your code has no effect on the effects. You need to set those properties directly on the pattern instances.

Re: Image Transitions? - 15 years ago
The FlashEff component has the swap functionality which allows replacing the current target object with a new target object. This is done by applying the chosen hide transition on the current target and the chosen show transition on the next target. The transition is done depending on the swapDelay property. If this delay is 0 than the hide and show transitions will start at the same time, resultby negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)
Re: flasheff demo can not install on intel mac! - 15 years ago
FlashEff is an ActionScript 3.0 component so you need to choose a new ActionScript 3.0 project from the File -> New menu, otherwise the AS3 components (none of them) will not show up in the components panel.by negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)

Re: flasheff demo can not install on intel mac! - 15 years ago
I'm really sorry. At this point the only idea that comes into mind is to try to reinstall Adobe Flash and the TxEff2 component (by the way, TxEff2 is working in Flash CS4 too on Mac OS X). Please let me know how it goes.by negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)
Re: Blinking FlashEff logo and troubleshooting - 15 years ago
@mrfowler I've retested the file as you specified but still, every thing seems to be ok. I've changed the delay property for the hide effects of 7 FlashEff instances in your animation, saved the file and closed Adobe Flash. Next time I opened the file, all the new delay values were there, just as I left them.by negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)

Re: Bug in FESFlashSlide? - 15 years ago
Yes, that is a good solution too, because the show effect actually hides the target clip and then shows it. Though I think the problem is that FlashEff does not have enough time to initialize. I'm guessing you placed the component and target movie clip on the first frame - try placing them on the second frame, like this post says: http://www.flasheff.com/forum/read.php?23,453,453#msg-453.by negush - FlashEff 1 (Discontinued version)
