No shape and layer effects applied in swf!

Post by Ailish »

Sorry for my english ^^;

I need to make a flash animation... So I started work at Anime Studio ^^ Anything was ok.
I wanted to make a little preview of a part of my animation...

I don't know why, but all applied shape and layel effects are gone...
When I was exporting - "Anti aliased edges", "Apply shape effects" and " Aplly layer effects" options were checked. ( when I try export to swf format, these optins are allways checked )

What I have to do? Is there any way to apply these effects at all?

I couldn't find the answer in other topics on this forum.
Please! I need help ;___;!

In Help - Reference - Flash Tips:
What Can be Exported

Most common objects in Anime Studio can be exported to Flash. These include:

* vector layers
* fills/outlines/colors
* transparency
* gradients
* variable-width lines (try to use these sparingly - see below)
* bone warping of vector layers
* image layers (PNG and JPEG only, and only if they are not warped by a bone layer)
* particle layers (careful - a complex particle effect can easily overwhelm Flash)
* a soundtrack can be exported if it's in MP3 format, and at either 44100kHz, 22050kHz, or 11025kHz sample rate

What Can't be Exported

On the other hand, some things in Anime Studio are just not compatible with Flash, and cannot be exported to a SWF file. The following list covers the most important of these objects and effects.

* brushes
* fill and line effects (except gradients)
* layer effects (shadows, shading, layer blur, motion blur, etc.)
* image warping or 3D movements in image layers
* image layers that use progressive JPEG images (Flash can't handle progressive JPEG images)
* layer masking
* 3D layers
