ActionScript 3.0 :: Converting Mov To Swf And Reducing File Size?
Oct 30, 2010
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.

At my job I frequently have to create Flash banners for major newspaper's websites. The specs that usually come in require a max file size of 30k or so. Usually my art department will hand me 3 or 4 screens that they want to simply move through in a loop. No biggie, until they start adding images to the files.
When I complain to them that the images are making the file sizes too big I am usually queried as to how other advertisers on these sites have full video in their ads. I understand that there are pre-loaders as well as allowed larger file sizes if you pay more for the ads.
getting image sizes down in Flash so that the images don't end up looking horrible?

I've got an XML file which is sitting at about 300k and will only get bigger. The tag names are quite verbose so it's frustrating because it's obvious the file size would be a lot smaller if those tag names were only a couple of characters long.I'm not sure if I'm using the term "tokenizing" right, but does anyone know of a method to convert verbose text into a series of unique shorthand "tokens" or markers... and back again? I don't want to change the tag names as the logic within flash refers to them so it would mean an annoying rewrite.

I building a website and i have animations from after effects I will be importing into flash. Any time a menu button is clicked it triggers the flash timeline and plays the corresponding anumation embedded in different flash graphics. Also before the webpage moves to the main page an Flv is streamed (90seconds log. It is not embedded it is streamed). I have about 260 frames of jpegs Already compressed to about 70k each for each image. how I can reduce my file size? also my time line is 2750 frames long. This is for a client and the client requested all the animation, so how can I make this work, currently my swf file is 14.6mb

I could really use some help here, I'm trying to reduce the size of my animation for obvious reasons, usually ends up about 4mbs, im exporting from swift 3d, about 200-250 frames depending on editing. When I import the animation into flash to work with my website the resulting file is too large I think :P I was told to export from swift in avi and then import to flash after converting. Thats definetly reduced the filesize, but when I import to flash cs5 I get an empty symbol even after export from flash, nothing shows in the symbol.Can anyone tell me if im doing this right, or another way to reduce the filesize.

I notice that Flash makes changes to a stage size to the right. Is there a way of making the change so it expands out from a central point, i suppose like photoshop and similar. This has caused me some problems in the past when a client has asked for the site to be increased or reduced in width for example, and it can take a considerable ammount of time to move everything accordinly

I'm building a Flash site that features a three-dimensional interface and I'm facing a significant file size problem, which will mean serious bandwidth problems when the site is online. I don't particularly want to go the route of actually bringing a 3D object into Flash, mainly because my object features transparency (it's made from glass) and papervision3d confuses me to no end. So I have two options: import as video or import as image sequence.
So I went with the image sequence idea. It was easy for me to give the viewer the ability to scrub back and forth through the looped animation and click on certain things at certain times (using invisible buttons). This gives the appearance the viewer is in a three-dimensional word, albeit on a fixed path backwards and forwards, much like a roller coaster
There's also an array of buttons down the bottom of the website that you can click on, and it will play through the image sequence (either in forward or reverse). So that works great, but even with high compression of jpegs and a low 12 fps, the swf file will be somewhere between 10 and 30mb, which is quite ridiculous!
Possible solutions include reducing the amount of images I use in the sequence, squishing it down to half the amount of images. Reducing the size of the images down to something smaller, like 800 x 600. But do you think I would get better results if I can import this as a movie instead and try to control the movie? Can I have the same control if it's an actual video file and not an image sequence?

I made a preloader for my single scene movie and although the preloader is about 16k, when placed into frame 1 of the movie and tested, the frame is shown to have about 256k, which is larger than the movie it's loading. I've gone through all the files and made sure that export in frame 1 is not checked and made sure the publish settings also are set to export in frame 1.

I 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?

I 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.

I 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?

I 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 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)?

I'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?

I 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.
