Exporting A Live Action Flash Stage To Vector / Illustrator ?
Feb 8, 2009
Any way to be able to export what is currently displayed on the flash swf stage to an vector-usable type file so I can edit in illustrator? I basically have a little actionscript animation that runs, and adds random movieclip shapes on the stage..... so i would like to be able to save what it outputs.
I keep hearing "postscript" a lot.
and i've also been able to save it as a PDF using the "print" function on the Adobe Flash Player, but a wierd thing, it doesn't export opacity information.

I upgraded from Flash CS3 to CS5. I am surprised to find I cannot export Flash graphics to a ".ai" format. Does anyone know of a way in CS5 to get Flash vectors to Illustrator?

So I'm making a drawing app that uses flash. I want to be able to export my drawing into an illustrator friendly format.
I'm thinking I will need to record the shapes drawn with a "history" and then export those either via text/xml/bytearray.

I've checked on the web, but I can't find an article/explanation on how to import vector graphics from illustrator into Flash.If this isn't possible, how do you go about dynamically importing it (not in the swf)?

I have designed some thing within adobe illustrator(vector images), and my project im doing for myself is being able to add these vector images in, and be able to modify them, colours, add stuff to them and so on. I've seen things done on the net before with these used, but can't seem to find any tutorials regarding this.

I've been running Flash CS4 (on a mac) for a few weeks now without any major issues. But the last few times I have attempted to import to the stage from Illustrator CS4, Flash freezes up. It allows me to select the file, gives the appearance of loading then the stage remains blank. Menus pull down but all options are grayed out. How to remedy this?

I want to make an animation over live action footage, I've looked on the guides and the ones which explain what I need to do are for previous versions of Flash and don't work on CS5.I'm wondering how I can import a video in to Adobe Flash CS5, so that it plays in the timeline frame by frame? I dont mean putting it on one frame so it will play, but so i can edit objects over the top of the flash in each single frame.

I'm making a game in flash, and I want to have a whole bunch of different rooms that I can make and delete with code. Ordinarily I'd just use something like:
var room:Sprite = new room1();
game.main.addChild(room);
but I'd have to export every room for actionscript. Is there a way to get them made just being symbols? If nothing else, I could layer all the rooms on top of each other in one symbol and set all but one invisible, but I'd prefer doing it this way with getDefinitionByName().

I am working with FLAs created by another developer. The swfs are live and working. What happens when I open the FLAs and publish from Flash Cs4 is this:The actionscript is not in the action window.In it's place is this: // Warning: in this unregistered version, no Action Script will be generated while exporting the FLA.The SWFs do not work, all actions are removed.
Note: I am not using any compilers, etc. although I do have a trial of Swish installed. I just recently installed and started using CS4.
When I called Adobe, they confirmed that my version of CS4 is registered correctly, and advised me to simply remove the warning text, and re-write the actions. This is not an option, as I have hundreds of FLAs to edit, and I KNOW the code was in there and working before I opened the FLAs in CS4.

Is there a way to detect if my Vector is out-of-range before performing an action? I tried
if (myVector[i] != null || myVector != undefined) {
// do stuff here
}
But I am getting an out-of-range error.

In the Flash CS 5.5 AIR settings for iOS, in the General tab of a panel, there's a menu that lets you specify the target device:
-iPhone;
-iPad;
-(both) iPhone and iPad;
What happens if I specify the third? That is: I can't understand if I can use the default stage dimensions (iPhone dimensions) or I must eventually create a stage (and assets) for iPad (and it will work for iPhone too).

Here is what I do:
[Code]...
And when my loading png finally appears it looks like a poorly indexed GIF, especially on edges. Why is it happening? I'm using Bitmap class here, maybe there is something better? Can I control quality?

When I import files from Illustrator to Flash, it seems that my entire image is grouped together and "Modify> Ungroup" is grayed out. How do I separate the different vectors so that they are editable?

I stayed out of the picture as long as I could ..because Ifigured there would be confusion and consternation as Adobe assimilated Macromedia's products.Here I am with Adobe Illustrator and Flash CS3,and the disconnect between the two is astonishing! I'll attribute some of my unfamiliarity to my recent involvement with Flash, but still,the vector pen tools operate soooo differently. Furthermore,selected anchor points are black in Illustrator and hollow in Flash polar opposites! The respective tool bars look similar, but often the selected tool behaves in a distinctly different manner, and the palette serves up dissimilar options.
Go the path of least resistance. I'll do my vector work in Illustrator, my workhorse tool of choice,then paste or import into Flash. But then gradients look like poo.Pfffff. (If anyone knows,what IS the problem with Illustrator-to Flash gradients. Is it that Flash Player is still too heavily based on Macromedia technology? i.e. the PostScript is OK but FlashPlayer doesn't render it well?)So, enough rant ...
What are the chances that Illustrator and Flash are better aligned in CS4, at least as far as object compatibility and similaar vector pen tool behavior? I can probably deal with the rest.

I have a simple rectangle with a 3D-bevel effect built in Illustrator that I need to export as an FXG file for use in Flash.When I export from Illustrator to an FXG format, it creates bitmaps and embeds those in the FXG file.if i import directly into Flash CS5 there are transparent gaps (and the symbols created are very complex), and it warns me that the objects aren't compatible with flash and they should be converted to bitmaps firstIs there a way to export the object to an FXG file and keep it in a vector format?if not, and this may be an Illustrator question, is there a way to create the same kind of effect so that I can get an end FXG object that will work in Flash?

I'm itching to find the most effective way of importing my illustrator vectors into flash but keeping the file size as small as possible. At the moment i'm literally copying my vectors in illustrator and pasting them in Flash, it clearly works but the file sizes seem really high and its hindering the performance of my fla. Is there a more effective way of exporting? or optimizing the imported vectors once they're inside flash?

When I pull Illustrator elements with Outer Glow into Flash, the glow looks pretty nasty...lots of artifacts and "squares" throughout the area where the glow is.
Is there a way to preserve the high quality glow I see in Illustrator once I import those graphics into Flash?

I'm getting
ActionScript Code:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type
__AS3__.vec:Vector.ie.aro.floorplanviewer.model.buildingVOs:ConfigurationVO>[code]....
which surprises me as ConfigurationVO inherits from NodeVO.Is the compiler really not able to figure out that a Vector of a superclass should be able to hold a reference to a Vector of a subclass?

i cant import the image without losing a huge amount of quality. a friend made this image using Illustrator, and i am trying to incorporate it into a Flash banner.i have numerous images already being used in my Flash movie banner, and all of them have been very easily imported, resized, and animated. here is the image im attempting to use.the Flash banner is am working with can be found at the top of the page at this address.URL..
ive tried to import it to my movie as a GIF, JPG, PNG, BMP, after using Fireworks to successfully edit the image without losing any quality. but as soon as i C&P it or import it directly to the Flash stage or library, the quality goes right out the window.

I have just moved to CS5 and have found that an important part of my workflow has been compromised as a result. Whereas I love to use Flash as a drawing tool and move elements from here to illustrator, then from Illustrator to Photoshop as a shape layer - I have found that Illustrator CS5 renders everything that I paste from flash as a bitmap.I note that there are several options inside Flash to determine how it imports Illustrator files, but I cannot seem to find similar options within Illustrator to change how it deals with objects pasted from flash.

I was curious if there is a way to import Illustrator files seamlessly into flash. My project in Illustrator has a lot of effects like drop shadows
here is what the file looks like: [URL]
so as you can see it is pretty complex. I want to import as much as I can in vector so that it saves on load time since i already built it in vectors. is it possible to import most of it in vector then just rastor the stuff that might not translate like gaussian blur etc?
