.swf importing weirdness.

Post by dhouse »

I've exported some vector animation from Anime Studio as an .swf and then imported it into Flash 8. In Flash some of the fills do not show up and there is a lot of "chattering" in the lines. Is there a good way to correct this?

Thanks.

The short answer is "no". Annoying, isn't it? The long answer is you can evolve coping strategies, like exporting a layer at a time, converting (non-deforming) complicated sections to bitmaps, and just generally simplifying everything. Which is nearly as annoying...

That's why "better swf export" is top of my wish list...

Thanks.
It is frustrating when quality suffers. E Frontier has to improve this. It's also frustrating that .ai files don't import very well either.
I wonder if there is a plug-in for Flash that lets you create bones in that program?

Yes, there is. It's nowhere near as good as ASPro, but here is the link:
ik'motion. You could also have a look at Tweenmaker, which has bones of a sort...(and has much better drawing tools).
