    Use a movie clip on the stage

    Hi, I'm at the beginning of learning Flash CS4 on Mac, have made a nice movie clip which plays well in Test Movie, but when I place instances of it in the main timeline and give it a run through, I don't see the animation happening. It's not a moving animation, more of a brightening and then...

    add swatch to user defined library

    Thanks Carlow ~ There's no problem locating and opening the file (yes, I am on a mac), I just don't seem to be able to 'add a swatch'. How do you manually do it? Must be too simple I'm missing something....

    add swatch to user defined library

    I have a user defined panel in the swatch library and want to be able to add new swatches to it as I create. There is always the non-editable symbol in the frame of that library so I can't just drag and drop. I've found advice on the net saying: "Locate you saved library file, open it and add...

    Intuos4 Touch Ring Cycle Layers, Rotate Canvas

    Hi there Helpfuls! I just got an Intuos4 medium to use with Illustrator CS4. On the Touch Ring, the Zoom and the Brush Size works fine. But the other 2 standard functions - Cycle Layers & Rotate Canvas, do not work. The manual specifies these functions are for Photoshop (as is Brush Size). I...

    Live Paint

    Thanks carlow, But I have already tried Expand and that doubles up all my line work - fills separated from strokes. That's not the answer for me. I'll keep reading. Thanks for your help.

    Live Paint

    What is the use of Live Paint if I cannot release it and keep the colour? I want to get out of Live Paint so I can ungroup the picture so I can make new groups for other effects. For example I want to apply a pattern to a part of the picture. But there may be plenty of reasons why you may need...

    Strokes & fills - separated or linked?

    I am working on some figures I made myself with pencil, live paint (now expanded and ungrouped). Outline in black stroke, filled various colours. I've got my layers sorted out. When I try to adjust a shape by dragging the outline stroke, the fill does not follow. It has another outline which I...

    Fill/stroke colour for drawings made with pencil tool CS4

    Hi brains! I've received some great advice re Live Trace & Live Paint previously but it does not seem to help me out here. I need to know how to apply colour for pictures that I have drawn with the pencil tool. It's just a figure like a cartoon figure. I've got rid of any gaps that are not...

    Thanks so much apepp, for this helpful information, it clears a lot of things up that I could not find answers for elsewhere!

    Live Paint - double paths

    Andrew, thank you very much for your time to fix this picture up and so quickly. I have a few follow on questions about the same issue, but they have multiplied and I'd really rather you were out scaling a mountain or ripping up a dance floor, but in case you are at a loose end, I've included...

    Live Paint - double paths

    Hello there ~ I used Live Trace with settings as recommended by apepp in another thread. However, after I amended my image then converted to Live Paint, the same thing happened. Double paths, or paths that are objects themselves (with stroke and fill). This also means that paths are separated as...

    AI Live Paint: Two Vector Paths for One Line? (Scanned Art)

    Hello there ~ This solution was perfect for my Live Trace problem of double paths. However, after I amended my image then converted to Live Paint, the same thing happened. It was fine for doing the live paint however it is not right. I tried releasing it but still it is the same. I can't find...

    Pen tool/path/anchors - not blue

    False alarm - I have found it has to do with the layer colour tag. Whew!

    Pen tool/path/anchors - not blue

    All of a sudden my pen tool does not produce paths or anchors of the nice, thick and visible blue colour they used to. It's yellow and thin and I can't see it. I can't find anything in the preferences to alter. Thanks in advance...
