I have swf which consist of many vector graphics.[URL]..If I import the swf to the stage, than I can manipulate this graphics. But this is not enough for me. I need to manipulate from Action Script.
I need to change the colors of this piceses from AS. I tried to use function getObjectsUnderPoint(new Point(mouseX, mouseY)) but it doesn't work. This function doesn't see shapes, graphics or something else.
I have a load of FLA files with large libraries of vector graphics. Is there a way of forcing Flash to create an export(jpg or swf)of all the graphics in a library without having to manually drag them onto the stage or into a scene before publishing or exporting them? I'm thinking there might be an SDK or utility or something that can read fla files and export everything programmatically.
View 3 RepliesI have a six minute video loading into my flash project. It is too large to import directly into the timeline. I want to display graphics and text underneath at key points and have considered using a timer to tell the graphics when to become in/visible. I'm sure there is a bettere way of doing it than the code I have below, as the timer will start on frame enter won't it and if the video takes a while to load the timer will be out of sync. I'm guessing I should be preloading the video anyway but not quite sure how to do it.
Code:
var timer:Timer = new Timer(15000, 1);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, blah);
timer.start();
var timer2:Timer = new Timer(20000, 1);
timer2.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, blah2);

I was wondering about MC and hey can help to lag a game out. I set up an advanced class system so i don't have to use MC to simulate walls, all i use isthe x,y,width and height. Well anyway since i don't need MC anymore I was wondering if there is a way to attach Graphics instead of MC cause a Graphics file size is relatively small than that of a graphic, I think. If anyone could tell me thats true and show me a way to attach graphics that would be nice. I haven't tried it yet but maybe if I exported the graphic from the library imihgt be able to call its name, but it doesn't have an instance name so im stuck.

I've got a project that has an FLV with cue points controlling when graphics appear in the swf file. The graphics are being loaded into empty movie clips via AS on the stage (everything is being loaded and unloaded into the first frame of the main stage). What the client wants is a pause button that will pause/play both the FLV and graphics being loaded in the swf.
View 1 RepliesI have a large vector drawing (imagine 5000x5000) that i want to break up into separate pieces. I know that I can convert this vector drawing into a bitmap and then use the copyPixels method to create many separate bitmaps of the different regions of the original vector drawing, but is there any way to subdivide it into movieclips that just contain vector graphics instead of a bitmap?The reason im dividing a big chunk of vector graphics into smaller pieces is for performance reasons, so flash would only render a small part of this big chunk at a time (only certain regions/voxels/subdivisions are rendered at a time). But bitmaps apparently take up a lot of memory and the system im using would take much less memory if these subdivisions could be preserved in their original vector graphics form.
I imagine I could use masks somehow to achieve this effect (for each subdivision, duplicate the huge image and mask only the region that the subdivision represents), but I dont know the performance costs of masking or if this will create other problems.So is there anyway to split up a movieclip of vector graphics into smaller movieclips of vector graphics the same way copyPixels can with bitmaps?

After installing Adobe Flash CS4 and saved some of my files in that application they suddenly can't open anymore!
I've tried to re-install both CS3 and CS4 and none of them will open my .fla anymore :-(
I've even tried to format my entire computer, installed it again but still no luck.
Therefor I have re-coded my entire web-site from scratch once again (pheww!) but I need all the text which is saved in my .fla (or .swf).
The (what i figure to be) the ultimate question. If i publish an swf, how can i extract the code from it...Is there a tool? a website i go to?
View 3 RepliesWe've got a client who wants to update an existing flash course and they want to move all the text from the existing static text field into xml.Is there any way to have flash somehow export all that text?I suppose I could write a function that executes on every frame and traces out the html text of every field on each frame and then just copy and paste that and wrap the xml tags around it...Also, the client wants to be able to make updates without having to know any html. Is the best way to do that to create a little RTE exe that they can use to "page" through the nodes, make their updates and use something like SWF Studio to write a new xml file?

View 1 RepliesThere is an .fla file that has a sound wave in it's library. However I do not have this sound wave saved on my computer so I can not edit or open this sound in another application. I was wanting to know if its possible to extract this *.wav file from out of the fla library? I did some research and they said to goto export movie and export it as an *.wav file. However I tried this it exported the whole fla file as one big *.wav dud. I tried to play it and nothing happened which makes sense.

I'm testing an flv streaming module for apache (mod_flvx) and need to extract keyframe info from an flv for debugging purposes.

So, this URL is exactly what I need, but I don't know how to extract all these URLs from the .swf file I have. I don't have any experience with flash, but I think that URLs should be in the .swf file. I tried "grep '110206os_o_003_T1C1_2pw26' adspage_slider-2.swf", but didn't get any result :(((
Is it possible to programmatically extract image files from a SWF file using C#? If so, how would I go about doing that? I know this question doesn't have a lot of detail but I'm just getting started on this and know very little about Flash.
View 2 RepliesIs there a way using C# to extract the ActionScript from a .SWF file? I know it can be done as there are third party command line tools that will do it, but I need to do it programmatically using C#. I'm open to using third party libraries (free or paid) as long as they are from reliable vendors, but I haven't been able to find any .NET libraries that will do it, just command line or Windows programs so far.
EDIT: Are there any options other than SWFTools? I'm a little hesitant to include unmanaged code in my application.

The ultimate goal is to create a dynamic slideshow with a variable length, depending on how many pics were submitted by the user. Since the associative array object returned by loadVars does not share the "length" property of indexed arrays, my guess is that the values need to be converted into a new indexed array before being able to use them in the slideshow.

View 2 RepliesI am developing PDF to e-book converter which will run on a server.I need to programmatically extract embedded fonts from PDF file to finish the project.Now I am able to extract images and text, but to display content in the Flash Player precisely I need the fonts to be extracted from PDF and compiled to SWF to be loaded by Flex application at run time.
I am wondering if it's possible, as such tool as pdf2swf.exe from SWFTools is able to do this. I have decompiled the swf file produced by the tool and there were fonts embedded.The extracted fonts will be used for displaying the same content from PDF file only, just in Flash player. So i think it will not be any rights violation? Moreover, people who will use the converter have all rights for the PDF files content.
So I see next workflow:
1. Call pdf2swf.exe to produce SWF file with fonts embedded;
2. Call some tool (Which one?) to parse previous SWF to SWFs with separate fonts.
3. Load the SWFs with fonts to Flex application at run time to correctly display content.
This deals with the (diverse) flash viewers that let you zoom in on images on websites. I trying to extract the large, zoomed-in image rendered by the viewer. In many cases the images seem to be dynamically called by the viewer, or are created only for the part of the image you are zooming on at that point. Ideally, the approach here would be a programmatic one that could be called on an identified flash element. Expect there is nothing universal, but interested in the top few approaches that will grab most cases.

The quick question: is there a pure PHP library that can extract a frame from the video to use as the thumbnail? I guess the answer is "no" but let me know if I am wrong :-) ffmpeg wrappers will not go, since I want this feature to work on most hostings without special PHP modules or binaries to launch.
There might also be some tool to do this on the client side with flash for example.
