When I export an SWF file, sometimes it loops, sometimes it doesnt.. And now I am using an audio file with it, and when I export to SWF, the animation doesn't loop, but the audio does.. How can I make both play 1 time through and stop?

Thanks,

I mgiht be able to help out.. I am still learning how to draw and animate cartoon style characters, and have some amitious projects of my own (of course) but might be able to help out to get a little extra practice... I am good at scenery, mouth and facial drawing / animation, particles, and also do...

My personal addition to this concept...

The fill, the outline.. these should be elements in a stack, making it so you can have more than 1 fill, and more than 1 outline.. you could order this stack.. Illustrator does something like this.. Pretty cool

I whole heartedly agree that MPEG should be added.. There are some great open source MPEG libraries that work on all 3 platforms, so it shouldn't be too hard... Mostly, I want direct MPEG export. I render in HD 1080p @ 25fps, so you can only imagine how fast my hard disk gets filled with animation Q...

I think the scripting abilities of MOHO are really cool, but I wonder if it would be possible to apply scripts as shaders. For instance.. just how there are "shading" and "soft edge" shaders which modify the fill or outline, you could select a scripted shader, which could do some...

How about a turkey baster?

I really need an eyedropper tool.. Just a simply "grab this color from this part of the screen" thing... Its SOOO annoying coping the hex codes to match things...

I know that you can copy and past styles, but making the color picker have an eyedropper would be really sweet!

Yes, I have tried that.. Doesn't help with the outlines.. In fact.. What does it do?

Sometimes when I draw a character, it's not the proper scale for the scene, but when I scale the group layer, all of the outlines get thinner... Perhaps if there were a way around this.. I am not really even sure what would be best.. Just that this is very annoying. Outlines set to 1 or 2 should ALW...

Very good idea.. I will give that a try. Thanks...

I have a problem with masks and outlines.. I know why it does it, it's just annoying to work around... When I have a layer added to the mask, it's outline is considdered part of the maks just as much as the fill, of course, but it causes me to have to duplicate the mask layer and enable the outline ...
