View 1 RepliesIs there any way to take a "screen capture" of a movie while it is running, and store it as bitmap data? For example, if I wanted to store off "thumbnails" at arbitrary times through out a session, is there any way to do that other than some horiffic hack to save the state and position of every movieclip on stage?
View 3 RepliesI have a flash file that is just a lot of tweening thrown together to form an animation, and I want to use it as a movie object within another flash file. I was wondering if there was any quick way to do this other than sharing the library of the file and then copying all the frames (if that would work)?
View 3 RepliesI have a fairly simple particle script that exists in frame 1 of an empty timeline. As the script runs its course, new particles are created dynamically, and move around on the Stage. I'm wondering if it's at all possible to export this animation into some sort of movie format.The advantage of doing this would be to save processing power, I'd guess. I could have multiple movie instances of the movie animation playing in the background, instead of just running multiple instances of the script on the stage.?
View 4 RepliesI have to convert swf movie to avi format. I used an option export/export movie in flash. In that I tried all the possible compressions and uncompressed versions. But I either get unclear movie or unclear audio. Is there any way to convert swf to video which will give me clear video file.
View 1 RepliesBuilding a dynamic map that displays State Senate districts for a US State. Each district is a movie clip that I want to manipulate from a ColorTransform perspective on the flash map. The data that drives the map is being pulled from a php/mysql script. I have built out the actionscript up to the point of being able to trace the name and desired highlight color of the Senate district passed from the php (the passed name corresponds to the movie clip instance name of the district on the flash map). The traces work fine as far as the values of the data passed, one field is the district and the other is the color for the transform. The .as file compiles on the test, but will not treat the variable name used for the passed district as anything other than a String. I get an Error #1069: Property transform not found on String... Have gone through adobe reference pages and have tried every method of type conversion I could find to no avail. I get coerce errors on most attempts to force the String to be an Object.

I have been trying to create a die that acts as a 60 second timer in Flash CS4 using Actionscript 3.0. This involves creating a die and a dynamic textbox that counts from 60 to 0. Both of these parts of the project are fine, however I need to animate the textbox in 3D space to coincide with the die rolling. I believe it is not possible to animate a textbox (from online reading and also trying to do it myself by playing about with Flash) so I have loaded the textbox into a movieclip. As I'm having issues with this I thought it would be good practice to split the project into sub-projects in order to identify the problem. Here is the actionscript 3.0 I have used for the timer/countdown clock:
var newTime:Loader = new Loader();
newTime.load(new URLRequest("SWFs/timer.swf"));
clock_mc.addChild(newTime); //clock_mc is an instance of movieClipContainer which is a new

This has been bugging me for a couple days now and I can't seem to figure it out. I'm passing a string variable as a parameter in a function and want to convert that variable to a movieclip. I thought I had the proper syntax but the trace keeps returning null. I've dumbbed down the function for simplicity's sake.

I am diving in to learn AS3 and converting my site over to AS3. The majority of my code is for my navigation in my main movie that loads external swf files. Here is what I have and I don't know where to start to convert it. I know I need to do this in steps. So the audio is not important now or my other swf files.

I'm trying to simulate the coriolis effect and have managed to create a drawing application that lets the user draw on a rotating movie clip. However, I would like to now create an animation that automatically draws a line onto the movie clip which ends up being curved, but I can't figure out how to convert the x, y coordinates of the pixels on the stage to the corresponding x, y values of the movie clip. Here's what I have so far:

I'm trying to convert some flv files to swf so I can place them on my online course. I'm working with Flash CS4. This is what I have done so far.
1) I embedded the flv files into a new project.
2) And then I just exported the file as a movie.
This worked well but only to an extent. There is about 10 seconds worth of dead time at the start of some of my videos, and they automatically loop themselves, when the loop feature is not on.
I have created a slideshow in flash 8 for my website, though the file needs to be a .flv. I've read lots of similar posts, tried some trial versions of converters and .swf decompilers, and it seems that you either need to buy a converter, or buy quicktime pro to achieve this. I'm just wondering if there are any alternatives, or if perhaps some kind fellow out there would be willing to convert it for me? The .swf file is attached, if any passing samaritan is feeling charitable.

Unfortunately, an essential element of my site is coded in AS 2.0 (a 3D carousel effect), and I'm really having trouble converting it to AS 3.0 (I'd keep it as 2.0, but 3.0 shows so much more promise for future expansion).[code]
View 3 RepliesI've spent countless hours looking for a simple, easy to use solution to convert WMV files over to FLV, and I'm having a hell of a time. The "wmv to flv" market seems to be cornered by sleazy companies promising "easy" solutions with software that either costs money and isn't guaranteed to work, or is offered free with loads of spyware. That aside, I've heard about ffmpeg and attempted to look at the documentation, only to feel a bit overwhelmed simply because it seems like they've written it for people who already work with that sort of thing (from command line).
I'm just wondering if there's a solution that anyone is aware of that a) doesn't cost money, or if it does, at least provides a non-spyware/malware/virus loaded test version to verify that the program actually does what it's supposed to do, and b) doesn't require some sort of contextual knowledge of linux or command line scripting in order to run a simple conversion.
What I'm asking is, as a user starting with a single .wmv file, how would I, from start to finish, get it into an .flv format?
I'm a senior in High School and I need to send in animations on a DVD for some of the colleges I'm applying to. The thing is, I have no clue how to get my flash animations onto a DVD.I have Flash MX, and I have been told to go to publish settings > convert in Flash 5 mode and to choose quicktime on the publishing list. But so far, this doesn't make a real video- it seems to still be a flash movie.
So please, how do I convert flash movies to video? And then to DVD. What free programs can make a full quality convertion? It goes without saying I need to get this done before a deadline,
I have a .fla file that was created in CS5 and so wont open in my CS4.

I have to convert a flash file to a big screen it will just be animation in Flash CS4 and there may be jpeg graphics imported into the animation. I have been given screen dimensions to use but they are in millimeters. This is the information I have been given :-
Bumper banners: w- 1,200mm x h- 6,048mm
Full screen: w - 8,062mm x h- 5,184mm
Small screen: w- 8,062mm x h- 5,184mm
The video needs to be DVD quality full PAL MPEG2
1. What should I do to make this scale properly from Flash on my PC to a big screen tv. Do I need to obtain the size of the big screen in pixels and make the animation this size in flash?
2. Also I wondered if you knew what bumper banner means I have emailed the person I am dealing with back and still awaiting a response?
3. I have been told that it needs to be in full PAL MPEG2 can flash convert to MPEG2 and will this have any affect on the scaling or quality of the animation?
4. Also does it matter what frames per second I use I am using the default of 12 fps is this ok?
I'm having issues converting a semi-old flash file into a quicktime video. I've been moving a lot of work to .mov files lately and off of a flash based file, the conversion actually worked perfectly on a previous video but I can't seem to get it to work on this file. During the conversion it just gets hung up on recording the flash file and I'm forced to cancel. Creating a AVI yields the same result (no that I want a AVI, just saying). I thought of a few things that may have been making it act like this, so I deleted things like the play/replay button and what not, but no good. Can Flash not export to a Quicktime if there are Actionscripts present? I've uploaded the full file, untouched from my tampering here. [URL].
