Blurry movieclip with 3D axis

[darren]

Hi all,

 

I am wondering if anybody can help out with an issue I am having.

 

I am using TweenLite to tween a movieclip though x, z and rotationY however, the moment i use either the z or rotationY the movieclip becomes really blurry.

 

I understand that it may be Flash doing this by treating it as a bitmap (not sure??) - though either way, is there a way to increase the quality or prevent this from happening??

 

You can try it yourself by:

 

1) add a movieclip to the stage, call it myClip (perhaps use a circle as this will demo the problem very well

2) add some tweening - TweenLite.to(myClip, 0.5, {z:0, delay:2}); --- I have set the z to zero here to demonstrate you don't actually need to tween it for the blur to happen - it occurs the moment anything is set with Z. the Delay will allow you to see the movieclip go from a crisp vector to a crappy blur.

 

 

so, any ideas? am i being daft here and missing something obvious?

 

any help would be great.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,

 

I have found a fix to my problem. Anybody else suffering may be able to find this useful.

 

Setting the MovieClip.transform.matrix3D to null will remove all settings. In my case this is perfect as my animation is going from a rotation & z setting and tweening to 0 - as in the apple mac cover flow animation.

 

Anyways, i adjusted my tweenlite to:

 

TweenLight.to(myClip, 0.5, {x:400, z:0, rotationY:0, alpha:1, onComplete:setZero, onCompleteParams:[cover]});

 

then in setZero

 

i get the current x & y positions as they will be cleared as soon as martix3D is set to null, then re-apply them after nulling the matrix

 

private function setZero(cover:Sprite):void{

var currentX = cover.x;

var currentY = cover.y;

cover.transform.matrix3D = null;

cover.x = currentX;

cover.y = currentY;

}

 

 

might help others with a similar prob

You are awesome, this SAVED me!!! Thanks so much for posting this solution out here. I have been trying to figure this out for a couple of days. I was doing a rotationY tween and it kept blurring my vector image. This fixed it!!

 

Thanks again,

Ha! thanks for that

 

I used to draw bitmap proxies, hide the original, manipulate those proxies, remove them and unhide original agian when i was done with he 3D transformations.

Thanks for sharing the Fix... drove me crazy for a few hours trying to find a fix.

 

I love it when people find a solution by them selves and post the results
