I have a whole bunch of WAV files, and for each of them I am to create a SWF file, which will contain this WAV (of course compressed as MP3) on the first frame, and then on a separate leyer there will be a stop action on the last frame, corresponding to length of this WAV. The SWF is supposed to have the same name as WAV. I s there any way to automate this process?
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a method or tool that allows me to make the following: import several bitmaps (pngs that are frames of an animation) convert each of those bitmaps to a sprite, put each sprite into an array in order (spriteArray_name.push[bmpSprite]). The array itself can be just exist as a static array in resource file. This isn't exactly a complex task, but I've got thousands of frames for different animations, and I really don't want to do this by hand.
I'm not an AIR programmer but, would that be a possible easy solution? It just seems like there would be an easy way to Batch this process. I'm currently using Flash Pro cs5.5 for the project. I am currently doing this at runtime, basically creating empty spites and drawing in the bmp data on the fly. But, its not going to work. I need to do this precompile (or during compile if that's possible).
im trying to create a conversion utility that uses number input via calculator style buttons to generate conversion for the following distances:
-Miles to/from KM
-cm to/from mm
-binary to/from decimal
Now i was thinking of possibly having the options contained within an drop down and an input text field where the numbers are entered via the calculator buttons. The only thing im struggling with is how to perform the actual calculations on the different formats. Has anyone had to do anything similar in the past? Ive only found currency conversion examples and not sure how to apply that to these conversions.
I am looking for solution to convert swf into flv in a batch
like using command line or sdk
there is solutions but the are very expansive like moyea swf video converter
I've got about 7000 eps files that I need to batch convert to swf. The catch is that I need to dynamically load these swfs through actionscript 3. Most of the solutions I tried (illustrator) created avm1 swfs, which cannot be dynamically loaded through as3 as a displayobject.
Is there any way to do this? Maybe a batch job in flash itself? The only solution I've found is to open the eps files individually and export them as as3 movies, but I obviously can't do this for every file. The other option is to somehow bypass the avm1 limitation in as3, but I haven't been able to find any info on that.
I have 290 transparent .png image files that i would like to be quickly added to a movie-clip so that i can use it as an animation. (As2 or 3 either way).
The pictures are all the same height/width and format. Is there a quick way i could import them to a movieclip quickly, as manually drag and drop into the movieclip is tiring?
I need to run a batch file which needs to execute a local windows program.
How can I call that batch file insides AS3?
I am working on a flash project that has many fla files associated with it. Is there a plug-in that will allow me to publish many flash files without me having to manually open and publish them myself. I know in Photoshop there is a batch processing of actions but was unaware if there was one for Flash.
View 1 RepliesI want to create a custom chatback badge in Flash to match the other buttons on my site. I am a newbie to Flash using CS4. I don't have a preference of actionscript 2.0 or 3.0. I've figured out set up the url, but all I want to do is get the little dot next to my name that says whether I am online, busy or offline. It is an html code, and I dont know how to put it into Flash.
Here is the html code:
<img height="9" width="9" style="padding:0 2px 0 0;margin:0;border:none" src="[URL]" alt="">
I have been asking a fair number of questions here recently and have been very pleased with the responses, so here is one more for you. Hopefully I can get another solution. :]
I have a flash project acting like a menu and being published as an .exe (projector). In this file, I have a button with the following code:button1.onRelease=function(){fscommand("exec", "openfiles.bat");}
I have an fscommand folder (in the same directory as my flash file) which contains the openfiles.bat, with one line: start myfile.txt
myfile.txt is also located in the fscommand folder. When I simply click on this batch file and run it, the text file opens as it should. However, when I click the button in my flash file, a command prompt window flashes too quickly to see with some sort of error message. It says something about not finding a certain directory and defaulting to the windows directory. I'm assuming it cannot find either my batch file or my text file. I am under the impression that as long as everything is in the fscommand folder it should work properly.
Ive found alot swf encoders, but they're all consumer push-button solutions which have given me a noticable loss in quality, regardless if i feed them flv's or uncompressed. As of the moment the only way to get comparible quality is to import one video at a time onto a flash stage, publish, and undo so its length doesnt affect the next flash video. Anyone know of a better way?
View 12 Repliesi have a flash .fla that was compiling as a .swc with references to images, but now I need to load all these images externally and I dont have the original assets.

How to pass or get variables through AS3 and Batch files?
Actually My main app is in Flash CS5. I want to search root folder (Which is not possible only with AS3 alone) for number of directories and pass them to a batch file.
trying to combine animation and scripting together to try to make a stop motion based on pictures in my library...I had taken loads of pictures and had drawn on them to provide the frame by frame animation, and what's left now is getting them on to flash... What I used to do is to just put the images in one by one, but this time, this method is not really feasible, as I have a little more than 900 images to load this time...
My question: Is there any way to create a while loop to get each of my images into a new key frame? Like, for each image I have, an empty key frame is created, and then my image is loaded into it?
I'm using the SQLRunner class made by Paul Robertson and I need a way to determine when an executeModify batch has finished executing so I can safely move on to the next step and work with the data.
the function can be called with a resultHandler and progressHandler function when it's called, but I am getting a complete event with every query in the batch. I put `if (completedCount == totalCount)` in my progress handler, but it never gets called.
Most of the info is covered in these classes in the sqlrunner package..

View 3 RepliesI'm working on an interactive company, and for each campaign we create dozens of loaders. A loader is a simple flash file contains the following elements:* few lines of code for eRate (counting how many clicks have been done on a banner)* a loader for the source banner from "http://....host.../..../" + w,h + ".swf"* a button that tells what happens when a banner is clicked (different portals as us for different scripts)Is there a way to automate the process of making such files? it takes a 1 minute to make 1 swf, but the amount of loaders make the work a bit longer.I'd like to see an application that asks for a list for sizes + eRate code for each one and the URL for the source banners.
View 7 RepliesI've updated action script for a huge number of .flas to AS3 but forgot to change their Publish Settings to Flash Player 10 and AS3. "MovieClip(this).stop" for example does not work in their swfs.
Is it possible to change these settings by batch processing all of the .flas at once? (Through a Mac Automator droplet or text editing the .flas, etc...or ___?)

View 3 RepliesWe need to generate around 8,000 nearly identical SWF files with slightly different text. I know about flashvars, but unfortunately, we don't have control over the publishing of these files and can't have flashvars passed in. Ideally what I'm looking for is that we have a flash designer come up with a nice looking template for us with a placeholder text or element in the file. We can then call a command line utility many times to generate 8,000 copies of this with slightly modified text. I've searched for an entire day now and haven't found anything to help us out. Granted, I'm not a flash developer, but it seems like this would be pretty straight-forward.

View 4 RepliesI would like to be able the batch a bunch of JPGs and turn them into simple 1 or 2 frame vector swf files. I would like to be able to use the flash trace bitmap option as it does the best at what i'm trying to do. If i where using in photoshop i would use a script to do but i don't know how for flash.
So here is an outline of what i am ultimatly trying to do.
I have a swf called "page" page has two layers to it. layer one has some buttons and AS and Layer two is empty. I would like to batch a collection of 3000 images, all jpgs, and convert them into 100% vector and insert that vector in to layer two and save that swf as "original jpg file name.swf"
I've written several JSFL scripts that work perfectly for batch processing files and doing everything I need it to do. Problem I'm having now, is I want a way to have a sort of panel that sets to the side while the script runs, and gives the operator an option to end the command. So if someone is processing 100 files and on file 50 they realize they messed up, they can stop the process and then go back and run it again later after they've fixed their error.
View 4 RepliesI created a simple interface for our laptop users to use to call files to change internet settings. Most of the files are batch files but I have one .exe and two registry setting files that change proxy settings. I want buttons that will call each file when clicked. Seems simple but I have been trying to figure this out and I'm getting no where. I'm attaching my flash file. It's a flash cs4 file. Can I not attach the script to each button? For some reason I thought I used to do it this way but when I highlight it it says I cannot attach script to the object.

View 1 RepliesFor a current project I need to create 25 versions of 5 different banner sizes. By version, I mean having slightly different content, namely: a different image and different text somewhere in the banner.
Let's, for this question, suppose I'll make sure somehow that said images and texts will all fit fine in the design for that particular size, so that I could create some sort of template per size, with some sort of placeholders for them. What is an efficient method, if any, to automate the rendering of these differing versions per size? Is it possible?

I'm working on a cartoon series in the uk and we use flash, 3d and after effects. I'm building a little pipeline tool to help us compositors do your job (there's hundreds if not thousands of files to be comped for a great number of shows)anyhow, we use flash for the 2d animation and we need to extract pngs. Right now it's a process I can't streamline (ie compers still have to have flash opened to choose which layers to export manually) but I'd like to be able to open flash and launch a specific javascript file ('command')

my friend and I are trying to make a GUI for a CD that autoruns when you pop it in your computer. Now my friend can write the batch files to autorun the swf, but i guess what I'm actually asking is how to run programs or batch files from flash by clicking on a button. We tried just useing the getURL AS to link it but it doesn't run it (kinnda makes sense now...).
