Description
On the left are two screenshots of DjBit-3's Twilight Sparkle Puppet Rig, and on the right are screenshots of the same poses in my Flash program. For someone reason the file starts out fine, but as I enter the Puppet to do any sort of animating the eyes often break like this. What's going on and how do I stop it? (I assume this isn't a problem with Dj's Puppets as he does a fine job making them.)Related content

it may have to do with your version of flash.

Yeah, I think so. It works fine with most Puppets, but I realized a couple months ago that Djbit-3 uses Adobe Flash CC, where-as I use CS6. The files might not be totally compatible, and most other Puppets I download have a CS6 option.

That sometimes happens to me also, seems to be a Flash problem. This is why the puppets take a while

Ooh, it has something to do with the masks. Dunno what, though.

On my Screen everything looks just fine. try redownloading the puppet and check it again. or what did you do to the puppet that caused the eye to be like that? because the images on the left look fine but not the ones on the right. i will be releasing an update not for this problem but another eye problem that this puppet has so best thing to do is wait until an update is released probably soon today. I'm also going to check if there are any other problems with it. thanks for reporting your issue but i can't see it happening on my screen. the problem i found was that the lid goes the the white.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyWQjt… -- There's a short video showing you what exactly happens.

Yeah, it's an odd one. It doesn't happen until I go IN to the puppet to animate it. The eye just... Slowly breaks apart and pops out or something. I could record a small video for you and link it to you to show you what I mean. I did try re-downloading the Puppet, mostly cos I keep forgetting I have your most up-to-date version. Looking forward to the next update too

what flash are you running?if its cs6 or below it might answer the bugging because i use CC
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I run CS6. What's CC? I don't believe I've heard of that one. -- At the very least, it won't effect final renders which is good

No problem. i don't want anyone to use "poorly" made puppets. I'm still new at this and i never used the twilight for an animation so i didn't find out about the eyelid problem until you made me look into your problem which was a Flash Problem.

For someone "still new," you make some amazing Puppets, can I just say. A year ago, when I got into this whole thing, Double Rainboom Puppets were a big deal. Look how far people like you have come.

thanks and I'm the same as you i started animating a year ago with DRB puppets until i learned there were traces of DHX in them so i started using Tireds base. but I'm still learning movements and drawing out parts in flash. now I'm working on a EQG base for the requests ill be taking next year. thats why i have a voting pole. the more you push yourself and want to do things not just for yourself but also for others it helps you learn and the support they give you keeps you going.

I wish I could give that reply/post a thumbs up like on Facebook. You're a dedicated dude, and you're awesome for it

Dude lol you're working on the same project with the same song from djpon3 i was working on lol except i was using fluttershy so cool yet weird. umm about the puppet it looks like a Flash Problem not a puppet problem to me

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree that it's a Flash Problem. And I'm running CS6. And wow, that irony though xD Yeah, I stumbled accross the song last night and thought it was awesome, and the voice sounded like Twilight to me, so I was thinking of making an animation for it for a Five Nights at Freddy's 2 Outro to my Let's Plays. (I made one already of the original song for FNAF1, and don't particular wanna use the same 1, or "It's Been So Long." -- I felt it'd be a nice twist to the original song, and makes sense time-wise cos I couldn't have the same character in both outro's cos of 1987 (and dying) to 1992 (supposedly, and also dying). -- I haven't asked him for permission to use it yet, was just experimenting, but will get around to it if I'm bothered to finish it. Hope you don't mind if I used the same song ^_^" I had no idea you'd intended on using it.

it's fine i hope you get to do this project. i got permission for using the song and i already started making the scenes and planned out the audio. but haven't started animating it because I'm working on 2 other long projects and lost little bit of interest in the 5 nights a pinkies animation.

That's literally all I animated for mine just to see if I could animate the lip-sync for it ^_^ I haven't done ANY planning for a full video, and that's usually my biggest weakness with animation is planning. I should also focus more on my own Animation project, but I just don't feel like it very often, so I don't do it. I don't want to force it or else it might suck more than it should.
