I 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 1 RepliesI just spent way too long making an animated banner ad...fade-ins, tweens etc. I sent as a swf.Now they say they can take only anim gifs, gifs, or jpgs.a gif or jpg would mean a stagnant ad, correct?When I change publish settings to animated gif, it gets all screwed up. kind of posterized Is my only choice to recreate the ad in Photoshop as an animated gif?[URL]
View 1 RepliesI created an animation in Flash and added audio to go with it. I need to export to a movie file so I can eventually turn it into a FLV file for the web. The problem is the audio is about 5 minutes long and it doesn't seem like Flash can support this long of a timeline. Does anyone know of an easier way to combine my animation and audio?
View 5 RepliesI have a flash file where i load a remote SWF file into my own, now what i want to do is convert that remote SWF file into a gif that i can save onto my server. The remote file is a swf that has a variable amount of frames, and i somehow need to be able to figure out the amount of frames (i presume), and take a snapshot (picture) of every frame, to turn the taken pictures / into a gif file. That's what i THINK has to be done, however i have no idea if it's even possible to take pictures / snapshots of remote swf files.

View 1 RepliesI created a swf file useing Flash and need to convert this to a mov file. I watched a training video and under Publish Settings > Format their should be a Quicktime mov option. I do not have this option on my CS5 Flash version. Also, if I try to export as a mov file, nothing happens. I have QuickTime Player version 7 on my computer. It just will not show up as an option in Flash. How do I convert a swf file to a mov file without going online and purchasing a converter?
View 4 RepliesI have an old FLA (from Flashkit) which works ok in Flash Player 5, but will not work in Flash Player 10.
I would like to have it converted so it will work in Flash Player 10, AS 2 (not 3!), for CS 4. I am using a Mac. would be willing to pay a reasonable sum of $ via PayPal for this work. I do not think it should take much time (it is a small file).
I am working on a project in Flash which the user can draw some animation and then covert the final product as an FLV file so he can share it on facebook and youtube.

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 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 3 RepliesI've created short two and a half minute animation which needs to be converted to a video file.
The animation contains various movie clips and run in conjunction with an overall audio backing track.
It's my understanding that nested movie clips won't work when I export to video due to them having a timeline of their own however having a flash file with everything on the master time line would contain too many layers and frames to be manageable.
Is there any way I can export my file to video (avi, mpeg etc) or do I need to get some third party software, in which case any advice on those?

View 3 RepliesI am working on a MAC right now and am wondering for a future project how to make a flash file into an mpeg4 file. I'm going to take the mpeg4 file and move it to iDVD to create a file that is compatible with DVD players. I'll also make the menu options there since I think to create DVD menu options in Flash involves a lot of ActionScript and I'm not THAT advanced with AS. I'm also using Flash CS4 for all of this and iDVD 8. I know that there are some video converters out there, but I didn't know if that was the way to go or if there was a pre-built option for that either in Flash or iDVD. I've been looking for one but haven't found it.

I have a mov file that's 125 megabytes. I try running it on my page within a javascript scroller animation and the animation is very choppy and in fact I used css to simulate a mask but the thing doesn't get masked, probably do to the sluggishness of whole page, the page never fully loads, and the movie file makes it nearly impossible to scroll through the page. The file is just too huge.
My question is:
1) Should I convert the mov to swf - that is, is swf a more compatible and appropriate format for seamless integration in html web page?
2) Whichever I choose, how do I reduce the file size - like on youtube where the videos run seamlessly? I don't know how they are doing that.
I do have Adobe Flash CS4 Professional, if that matters.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to post a Quicktime movie into Flash CS3, but my FLV file looks AWFUL when compared to the original Quicktime video. When importing the Quicktime video, I've tried all kinds of settings. (Soreson Sparks was the worst.) I've changed the quality, the data rate, and the frame rate; I've selected "deinterlaced" and deselected "deinterlaced." I've changed the key frame placement and interval and left them alone. I am all out of ideas. I am grinding my teeth.
By creating some kind of var or something, is there any way I can call up a Quicktime video into Flash without actually converting it into an FLV file? It was suggested that I make an SWFObject2, How to make my video look better. I just want my video to look like it does in Quicktime.
I wrote a big Actionscript project using AS3 as an "Actionscript Project" in Flash Builder 4.5.

I now, for various reasons, need that to be a Flex application. I'm trying to get the most minimal wrapper possible, so here's what

View 3 RepliesI am converting a .MOV file from After Effects in Flash Video Converter. I have jacked the quality to 2500. Although the audio is still dodgy and the video quality is still low. One of the biggest problems is that the images scale up in AE and when they are converted and played they jitter. Very dodgy and this project needs to be crystal clear.
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

I'm trying to read date variables from an external text file. I'm using the LoadVars method and it is working fine for regular string variables. I'm running into trouble trying to convert some of those strings into date variables so I can compare the current date to the targetDateX variable from the text file. I'm working on a countdown timer for a list of different times/dates. It will display the time left until the first event, then after that event the time left until the second event. I'm running the code in a for loop and everything is working except being able to convert the string with format (yyyy,mm,dd,hh,mm) into a date variable- I've attached a sample of where I'm having trouble.
