I was thinking of starting lua programming so I could make my anime studio program more powerful. But I need some resources for using lua specifically for ASP 7. I've been using the program for quite some time. Since the late moho/early AS 5.5 time, I've felt could contribute something. I would love...

Did you try using a bone layer? It worked for me when i used a bone layer with the shape inside. It actually makes for realistic levitation. Here's a sample: http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/7324/magnemitefront.gif (Yes, I'm a Pokemon fan) But notice now it moves up and down just like real floatin...

So three things: [1] Can Smith Micro restrict itself to sending product news customers sign up for. [2] If it can't and feels the need to spam its loyal customers, please make sure its software works - it is, after all, a software company and we wouldn't want to wrongfully gain the impression its a...

Hello all! As some of you might have noticed, I am not pleased with the release of ASP 7, so I will ask for a refund and stop coming to this community as a mean of protest. Those who would like to stay in touch, I will be on the unofficial Anime Studio forum . I will use ASP for my upcoming 2 years...

http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/7930/chaosemeraldtesttrans.gif I found this technique of creating a spinning gem by utilizing layer blending, a radial gradient, a particle, a gemstone base shape, and a mask using the shape of the gem. As you can see, it still needs improvement, but it's working pr...

Primal, don't worry about it. What you said is a perfectly valid opinion. This is part of the typical point-and-counterpoint discussion. (And I hope you didn't take anything I said as a personal comment. I tried my best to keep it on point. I have seen your work at the Animators Forum and you have ...

Price is set by the marketplace. SmithMicro isn't trying to insult you. If funds are so tight that you can't afford it, then don't buy. This isn't like food or shelter, after all. What makes me uncomfortable about these arguments (price is unfair, there's no trial, etc.) is the direction of the con...

I couldn't agree more, it's pretty hard to fork out $130 when i just spent about that much on the last version. I can't even remember a "discount" during Version 6's run... (They could've existed, but I've never seen one.) I don't want to hear people telling me that "x function is wor...

I wanted to find a script for AS 6 that could enable you to create dynamic text effects, and if it does not exist, I think I have an idea of how it might be accomplished. What if, you could input text in a box, give it entry and/or exit effects, and change the amount of key frames to complete the ef...

No, it doesn't.

oops, my bad.
thanks for pointing that out.

only certain layer types and effects can be used in flash format here's what you can't do. you cannot use 3d you cannot add gradients and shading is near impossible, you can still shade, but only if you use manual vector shading (try different shades of color) here's what you can do change the size ...

I'm wondering the same thing,
But I DO have a quick fix for this.
try masking an image over-top of the 3d shapes, it might not be as accurate, but it is a way to give it some texture.

If you have trouble with masking, I think there's a tutorial on it in another topic.

I hoped that helped!

My name is Primal Moron, I am somewhat good with ASP, and have a few ideas to add to here. allow me to open up with some of my best work. http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/3370/newavi.gif http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/9069/pmfish.gif http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/5386/monachroma.png http://img1...
