Animations get error when exporting as sprite sheet

Hi

I made a simple animation (please check the attached files)

in that the animation looks perfect,

and in the SWF also it is perfect

 

but if I export the animations as a sprite sheet, I get this error https://prnt.sc/pqNM1z6Bu02b

a piece of the object is visible in the corner (annoyingly)

 

I tried all the settings in the generate sprite window, but nothing works

 

if I draw a square to cover the animation and export it, it looks ok

but the sprite size become bigger than my requirement which is 2048x2048

 

sorry for my bad English,

I have attached the video file for a better understanding of the issue

please download the animate file here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/dufwb0d6w4dtnd6/Error.fla

 

please help me to solve this, I have many animations clips like this and this problem is annoying

 

Thanks

Hello, there are 2 bugs with the spritesheet generator that are yet to be fixed:

One is the incorrect clipping that often happens with parented layers and imported assets, and the other is the lack of support for frame filters.

 

After looking at your file, I did manage to export the spritesheet by using a few workarounds:

First, the clipping problem. Use the alpha filter directly on the movie clip instead of the frame, convert all the tweens to frame by frame animation and merge down the layers (I

That file is ActionScript 3, which would not involve spritesheets. Converting it to HTML5 Canvas and publishing gives a spritesheet that is 512x512.

i'm not sure why @Colin Holgate suggested there's something wrong about using an as3 project to create a spritesheet, so perhaps he can elaborate.

 

as for my suggestion, the image dimension is the size of the spritesheet, not the sprite sizes.

It may be that I am behind the times! I couldn't see any spritesheet options in the publish settings. I may need to look harder.

Thanks for that. With that option I get a 2048x2048 spritesheet when selecting the first frame, and a 1024x512 spritesheet if I go into the animation.

I did notice when converting to HTML5 Canvas that there are a lot of symbols that don't appear in the timeline. If I select everything in the Library it does use the 8192x8192 maximum.

i think the op just probably needs to set to 4096x4096 to stop the clipping.

First, the clipping problem. Use the alpha filter directly on the movie clip instead of the frame, convert all the tweens to frame by frame animation and merge down the layers (I guess this makes it easier for the program to calculate the content margins of each frame?).

As for the 2048 x 2048 spec, I decreased the scale of the movie clip frames by 5% by highlighting them using Edit Multiple Frames, selecting all objects with the free transform tool then setting the scale to 95% from the Transform window in order to just barely hit the size limit;

Lastly, I generated the spritesheet using these settings:

Note: Algorithm can be Basic or MaxRects but format has to be Sparrow v2 in order to enable "Trim". Without it, each frame is going to be much larger.

 

Here's the link of the fixed FLA just in case. Let us know if this works for you:
