I have been trying to animate some gears on a machine drawing, unsuccessfully. The perfectly circular gears all animate (with swf preview in XXPro) all lumpy - not at all circular. I am using the rotate+: notation for the anim.
I tried something more simple - a perfect circle with a fill to tell if it's rotating or not. Same thing - the circle comes out looking like an egg (no offense, Egg).
What's up with this?
You ain't doing it right is what's up :DQuote:

Looks okay to me :)
Looks great here. When I open it on my end (xar file) and click on preview in browser I get a totally distorted thing again. Here's your file saved as xar and swf on my end (with new file names) and here's what I see:
You have entered (in your post) size 200 x 200.Quote:

Especially if you put in a background square of about that size ;)
What you are seeing in my last post is exactly what I see when I open your file in my Pro and click on preview in browser. I have made absolutely no changes to your file.
This is totally weird, Drifter...
When I load your xar file, then click flash preview, it looks perfect.

Bob,
I think it's a bug that was in earlier releases. Try D/L'ing the latest version and this should go away.
Thanks Egg, at least I now have something in the way of help. I have been putting off getting the newest release since I have read about people not knowing whether or not to install over the previous release or to uninstall that first. I didn't want to do it without the correct instructions. I was hoping I could wait it out until the CD arrived, but I need to have it work properly now.
I will wait a little while more and see if anyone reassures me as to how to upgrade, safely, and then take my big step.
I installed the new version over the top of the first release with no problems.
Bob, the update will uninstall the previous download before proceding. You will then need to run the downloaded .exe file again to install the latest update.
Or, you can uninstall using the Control Panel Add & Remove Software. Then run the downloaded .exe to install.
Either way, you will have the newest bug fixes.
Well, thank you all for this advice and support. I dl'd/installed the newer version and now the gear is round.
HOWEVER, I can NOT find any way to unlock my version. Prior to this my other version showed my registration code, this one does not. I read Antony's post about where to look for instructions, but this version I dl'd today never showed me a screen with the unlock option - never saw that screen at all.
Help?
Bob when the download ran it found you were using an unlocked version. It will not ask to be unlocked, because it already has been unlocked.
Thanks, Bill. What about the registration code not being displayed?
Don't worry about it, mine doesn't show a registration number. After the CD arrives and you install from that, would be the time to worry about a serial number not being there. :D
Thanks again, Bill. My version seems newer than yours - from Jan. 17, 2007, 3.0.2.781.
