View 1 RepliesI have a legacy AS2 swf that I don't want to rewrite in AS3 but I need to improve upon it to play video, and I'd prefer to use the AS3 video playing mechanisms.
Ideally I can build an AS3 movie that just takes a string param of the movie location and plays it. I'd load this AS3 swf into my AS2 movie and pass in the strings for the urls as necessary.
I am having trouble loading a quiz.swf into another another movie. To generate my quiz I goto
File > New > Templates > Quiz > Quiz_style_1
And in the first frame of the example quiz I add:
stop(); // To prevent playback
this._lockroot = true; // to preserve the heirarchy
Then I publish the quiz as testquizex.swf, and I can test this movie and it works fine by itself. Then in a different movie I start with a blank scene I add a keyframe and I insert
stop();
var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.loadMovie("testquizex.swf");
Now the movie imports and loads into the frame and I can navigate through to the first question page, but the quiz doesn't actually work anymore i.e. drop targets dont work and the score won't increase. Is there anything else I have to do to the stock quiz template to make it importable into another project?
I am importing a picture in flash and i found out that there is a difference between importing to the stage, and importing to the library... [URL] I've placed both picture close of each other and if you look closely, you'll notice that one of them is losing some resolution. Both picture come from the same file, a png. The picture imported to the stage is sharper than the one imported to the library. is there a way to import that picture to the library without losing any resolution?
View 5 RepliesWhen I import flv video on Flash CS4, I have a option to choose a skinning. When I choose SkinUnderAll, a lot of contorl buttons are available including full screen mode button. However, it does not include movie mode button. I am not exactly sure if it is called movie mode button. When you press it, a video clip will be displayed in center and surrounding area become transparent black. How can I obtain such a button?

i want to import it into a movie clip called "player" and i want it to load when on the frame entrance.

I have an FLV that i'm trying to import but I get this
WARNING: This movie uses features that are not supported in the Flash 7 playerSymbol=1.flv, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:VP6 Codec requires Flash Player 8 or higher.
I am using a set of 4 images. It works fine but now I need to put it in a website that is being created from a template. I know it may not work with the template but I don't even know how to begin to get it from Flash.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to get a movie clip class from Flash into Flex Builder 3 (movie clip and external .as file). I used the Flex Components Kit for Flash cs3 and exported the swc into Flex, but was unable to instantiate the class because it wasn't a valid IUI component?So I took all the class code and moved it into the first frame of my movie clip. This allowed me to instantiate the class fine, but it tells me that all of the functions are null references.
View 2 RepliesI am importing a PSD file with a background layer, which I want to remain static throughout the movie and also several other layers which I am going to animate. Here's my problem...I cannot figure out how to get the background layer to remain visible throughout the movie once I create tweens for the other layers, without manually copying and pasting frame 1 to every other frame...yikes! There must be something very obvious I am not doing, yes? It probably goes without saying that I am a first time 'designer'.
View 2 RepliesIt's been asked something like a million times and will probably continue to be asked long as there remains one Newbie on the planet. It is: How does one play an external swf inside a movie clip? But before the reader does an eye-roll-yawn, maybe just maybe it's not as simple as that��at least not to me�� there's more.... For stage simplicity's in this play lets get the characters straight. Lets call the external mc MC Orangutang and the main 'Big Movie where we want that Orangutang to perform [MC Buffalo. First, Buffalo is not a button but is a brief mc animation.
Second, Orangutang is not alone. There are two other MCs that also need to ride the buffalo. Call them what you will; but they are short little MCs that must all come riding onto the stage on the back of MC Buffalo. Third, I have the idea (or maybe its an obsession that) that it is a Flash-Wise idea to have all their aerobatics performed inside of an Empty Movie Clip. Hence, the Circus wold ideally run like this: Click on the MC Buffalo and it plays it short skit, then immediately imports or whatever we want to call it, the three jungle friends at which point all of them are now visible sharing the same stage and obediently waiting for a user to rollover/click on one of them.
All the jungle creatures perform annoyingly perfect when on their own (outside the Big movie Buffalo) but the very second we attempt to bring anyone of those recalcitrant beasts into the movie theater it's poof and he/she/it/they vanish without even a dirty little foot print on stage. I'm embarrassed to confess that I have spent (feels like wasted) weeks, yes weeks hoping to do this on my own but no joy! So, I now turn to the Geniuses.
We've got an Illustrator file with something over 1,000 layers. We're trying to import this into Flash and keep the layer names intact, such that they become the names of the movie clips that are imported for each layer and can be used programmatically. (It is a diagram and arrows, boxes, etc all have callout names that will eventually allow them to link to a database.)As near as I can tell, the Import dialog will NOT pass this info across between the two parts of the dialog.
View 1 RepliesI spent the day making a really neat (my opinion only) animated button that I want to use as a common component on a web site I am working on. The button is isolated in its own FLA and SWF file(s). The plan was to import the common button, add a text label, and position it appropriately on the page. Then move on to the next button or whatever. That's the plan; now here's the problem: I'm completely at a loss as to how to go about doing it. I've tried to follow a couple of tutorials, but, I keep getting lost.
View 1 RepliesI've always been able to import dwg/dwx files into Illustrator, edit out layers I dont need, export to swf, and import into Flash MX. I just got some new CAD files that wont open in Illustrator and am kinda stuck without a solution. Purchasing new software is no big deal I just want to be sure that it will open these new files and be able to export to Flash in a usable format.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to import a swf file into a Flash file with a transparent background so you can still see the main movie underneath? Also, I would only want the swf file to play on a certian number of frames. By the way I have the original flash file of the swf I want to import.

View 1 RepliesI've masked out the backgrounds around some photos (of people) in Photoshop, and I'm importing them into Flash CS3 (Mac). When I import them in, they appear to have a color shift...they look lighter, more washed out than they did in Photoshop.

View 1 RepliesI have been searching on this and from what I have read in some posts I found through google it seems that it is possible to import an .mp4 file to flash.... I am unable to do this so far and wondering if it is in fact possible to do this.. if so, does anyone know of any decent .avi to .mp4 conversion software that will allow the mp4 to be imported to flash as the ones I have tried so far are not allowing the mp4 to be imported.
View 1 RepliesI'm importing a swf file with on/off buttons into Captivate, and the sound is not playing. I'm not sure if this is a Flash issue or a Captivate issue.

View 2 Replieslove the way CS4 has a nice media converter so you can instanly import FLV files but what I have recently found is that the voice of my videos all go out of sync when inputted into flash but are fine if I play then direct from my hard drive. If I import the file in CS3 and convert them directly in CS3 then the voices are all fine. Because i'm using many transparent .png images I have to use CS4 because CS3 adds a nice jagged edge when these are rotated.

I have inherited a website - http:[url].... and I will need to edit the first page from time to time (Flash). I have the original .fla files and I only have Flash CS4. Not sure which version of Flash the originals were built in, but opening in CS4 I can only see 35 frames - not enough to go through the whole thing. If anyone cares to have a look at the site there's a stopwatch in front of a garage door. This quickly fades in and out, then a car and other stuff appears. I can only get as far as the stopwatch. I can see the whole lot in Flash player though.what I am not doing right?
View 1 RepliesAll I want to do is have Flash play a single video based on the URL specified in an XML file. I am using the default Flash video player.
I go to File -> Import -> Import Video, and then click on the "Already deployed to a web server" button, and type in the path to an XML file.
I'm confused as to what needs to be written in my XML file as to make the flash video work. Let's assume my video file is located at [URL] What code would I need to write in the XML file to get it to play?
