I have an issue concearning existing file formats for export in Flash CS4. According to the user's manual in Italian I have found, [URL] available formts include EPS and AI. As far as AI is concerned, I have this option but exported AI files are hard to open in Illustrator, since a number of problems appear. If I separate all groups in Flash and then export to AI format, Illustrator finally opens the AI file, but changing the colours and the shape of my design.
Moreover, no dialogue box for Illustrator version options appear when I choose AI for export, as is described in the support page. As to EPS file format, it is not in the export file dialogue box, the formats I have are JPG, PNG, GIF, EMF, WMF, BMP. My point is that I draw in Flash, then I need to export the designs in Illustrator for print optimization, but the content changes dramatically, if I actually can open the files.
I'm loading external logo into my SWF with following code: var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("logo.swf");var logoloader:Loader = new Loader();logoloader.load(request);addChild(logoloader);logoloader.x = 5;logoloader.y = 5; Everything works fine as long as I have logo.swf in right place. Is there an easy way to improve that code so that it wouldn't matter if there is logo.swf, logo.png or logo.jpg as long as one of those files exists in right place? I just would like to give my clients change to use other formats than SWF if they like, because some of them doesn't have flash or any other software with SWF exporting capability. all of them have Photoshop or some other Image software....
Using the Embed tag, we can embed in the swf file not only swf's or jpg's etc, but also unsupported file formats like:[code]When i instantiate such a class, what type of object do i get? Is it possible to get a ByteArray from this class?[code]
I am creating an animation using ActionScript2 on Flash Professional CS5 and whenever I try to export (or even test) my animation, the progress bar comes up but the progress does not move. Then after about a second the dreaded '(not responding)' appears at the top of the window and if you click anywhere it greys out closes it.f I leave it it doesn't export for ages (liteally like 3-6 minutes which is long for just exporting).It only has 280 frames and the .fla file so far is 9.96MB! Other animations I have made have had double the frames yet 5 times smaller a file.
I've made a video in Flash Pro, and I want to be able to play it in Flash Catalyst. I'm using 5.5 of both versions, btw. I export the Flash Pro video to a .mov file and then use Media Encoder to make that a .flv file. I bring that file into FC and publish to web. However, when I put those 'deploy to web' files on my website, the video doesn't play. Everything else works except for the video. So I put a generic, short .flv file that I downloaded from the internet into my FC file.
I published it to my website again, and everything worked fine. The video played. So obviously the problem with my video must be in the encoding process. I read one article online that said when I export a .mov file for FC, I should make sure that I don't have 'Fast - Compressed Header' selected in the Streaming options. Well, I checked and I don't. It's just under regular 'Fast'. I've even tried converting my .mov file to a f4v file, and that doesn't work.
I want to know if actionscript 2 can load different video and audio file types in a single flv component.I tried to load a .mov file in the swf but it's not playing. coz i read over the net that it can only play flv files?Is this possible by coding?
can i ask if it is possible to load different video formats in my flv component.I am trying to load a .mov, and ,mp3 and ,wmv in my player but its not working.
I have found this great tutorial, about uploading files with a Flex app, using Php to do the server scripting for us.
http:[url]....Its great, but i wanted to know what changes should i do at the ActionScript so that only accepts image files, and if possible to limit the file size upload and show a message when one of these conditions are violated.
Its possible to assign 2 or more Formats to a text in a TextField?I have an var txtChat:TextField; and I want to assign a TextFormat to the user, and another TextFormat to the text of the chat, in the same TextField.
I created an animation using movieclips within one movieclip. When I export it as an .mov file, it's only the one frame (the stage which my movieclip is thrown on). I understand now why that is, but I'm close to deadline and can't go around changing things. So to my understanding, when you import a Video to the library, it has to be an .mov file. Then I can convert it to a FLV file, which is an option Flash gives in the dropdown menu. That's the background. Here is my ultimate question: I want to create a FLV file from my SWF or the FLA file. How do I do it?
Is it true that the only file format that flash will stream from an external source is MP3? I know you can import other file formats into your movie etc... but thats not something that I want to get into.
Im working on my website which was from a template. Ive gotten pretty far and all of a sudden my FLA file isnt exporting to a SWF file. It doesnt let me test the movie either, it shows the progress bar then does nothing. Similar to this guys problem on another forum:It shows the file in the folder for a split second then disappears. I really dont know what to do and I dont want to continue working on the file if theres a problem.
I'm working with Flash CS3 and I need to create an automated export. I know how to export a movieclip as a SWF file using actionscript ActionScript Code: myclip.exportSWF(folderTarget + "/" + DOMFileName + "_" + clipName+".swf", true);
This is how we save movieclip as JPG file, ActionScript Code: myclip.save(jpg_binary, "picture.jpg");
What I would is to export my movie clip as an AVI file, I looked for a movieclip.exportAVI function but it seems not to exist. In fact, I just want to bypass this annoying process: "File > Export > Export Movie... > Export Movie (Path & File Name)".
I need to play WAV, MP3, MP4 and SWF files using Flash Player plug-in in Internet Explorer, FireFox, Chrome and Safari. Please give some suggestions on this.Is there any way to play this formats using JavaScript and HTML??I tried with and tag also but, Chrome, Firefox and Safari is required Quick Time Player to play this formats. I need to use only Flash Player.
Is it possible to publish to a relative path in the CS3 IDE? For example, I have my folders set up in the standard bin, src, lib configuration where the .fla is in the src folder and I want to publish to .swf to the bin folder. I've tried the obvious'.. /bin/ nsomeswf .swf' but this doesn't work.
I made a banner that will appear at the top of a website, though I just found out I need to decrease the width of it. I would like to export it at a smaller size, so I go to Publish Settings and I notice I can change the width and height. How can I do this while maintaing its proportions? It is currently 791 x 275. Using CS3.
Does anyone have good tricks for exporting complex swf files as PNG sequences? We need to be able to edit the size of the final file, and a PNG sequences allows us to do this in AfterEffects while maintaining good detail. Also, what programs do people use to convert .swf files to .mov, etc? We are running into trouble, it seems some programs can't convert the .swf files.
I am trying to export a .swf file which plays video/sound so I can upload the file to a website (embedded). However, the sound does not want to play when in flash. It is basically of a person talking and lasts about 20 seconds. I have exported the file as a .mov using flash mx pro on mac. the .mov file plays in a quicktime but when imported into flash the sounds seems to disappear.
I downloaded a flash app the other day. I can't put links since I don't have 50 posts, but if you type Dj Mixer on ActiveDen, it should come up.Basicly, it allows you to put sounds in a folder, add them to an XML file and the flash application acts as a mixer with a timeline. You can select which loop you want at what time and create your own track.There's one thing though, it doesn't allow you to export the sound. I have no experience in that area so I was wondering 2 things:- What would exporting the sound in an .mp3 format from the compiled sound loops involve in terms of complexity? Can this be done in a short time frame or is this something that requires a lot of knowledge and ressources?- Once the exporting to .mp3 part is done, I wanted to able to take that .mp3 and send it to my phone. Do you guys know of any Websites that offer a suitable solution for this?
I recently followed the snow tutorial on this site: [URL]. In order to create snow in a flash document. The results were exactly as I was hoping for but when I export the file as an .avi it exports without the snow. Is there a way I can export the file as an avi with the falling snow?
Why not have the Adobe Flash CS5 product directly generate mp4 and other formats in addition to SWF?From my chair (as an Adobe Flash CS5 user) it
-Going about using other additional software has direct effect on a software budget. -Costs extra manhours to gather information of how it is done. -Costs extra manhours/user time to process. -Perhaps even increases the likelihood for errors and noise in re-processing already processed files (SWF->{F4V,MOV,MP4}) (F4V->{MP4,MOV},)relative to the original source FLA file?
I have an AS3 application where I used the bitmapdata with its copypixels to create a cropping effect on the imported image file (JPEG etc), now I am in need for exporting the resulting cropped data to image file suhc as JPEG, TIFF or any other format. I am actually transferring the content of bitmapdata containing the cropped image into movie MovieClip object therefore, exporting from movieclip containing the image data is another option.
I'm creating a movie player on a website of mine.. similar to YouTube. I would like people to be able to upload their movies on to my site. So my question(s) are regarding the FLV Format and if you can play other formats some how like Movs, Avis, Wmvs and Mpegs?
(1) Flash can only play FLV files? Can you get it to play Movs, Avis, Mpegs... Can I some how put in codecs for them?
(2) Can people easily get their movies to FLV format? Is this an issue for people?
I don't want to make it complicated for them to put things on my site. I would like them to be able to upload movies with ease and obviously not make things too complicated for them. I want to make it as user friendly as possible.
I have a movie that uses a couple audio files. When I run this as a swf, everything plays fine...Except at the end.I have a frame that says thankyou.play(). That is tied to a mediaDisplay component. When I put a trade for thankyou.onSoundComplete....Nothing happens.So with the Flash still working fine for the most part, I export the movie as a Quicktime movie. It plays the intro audio but never moves forward from there.The background noise is gone.
So for some weird reason i've run into a bug today. I'm trying to export a FLA in CS5 to SWC but click the "export to SWC" setting in the publish settings. my problem is for whatever reason it's not exporting the swc file.
I'm having a really weird problem exporting a library asset (movieclip) to a swc file. This should be really simple to do... The strange thing is, if I do not include the outside code in my project, when I try to export the asset as a swc, it will give me errors, but it will also create the file with no problem. If I include the outside code and export the library asset as a swc, it compiles with no errors but it NEVER WRITES THE FILE! This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Has anyone else run into this problem and if so, how did you fix it? If I repeat the same process in windows I do not see the same issue, it creates the swc without any hesitation. Is there a weird setting in Mac OSX that I need to change maybe?
