Professional :: Creating Chapter Marks In Flash File
Aug 2, 2010
In the past I have used PPro CS4 and Encore to create a DVD of clips which I show to clients. Each clip has a chapter mark so that I can jump quickly to the start of each clip. I now want to make a big Flash file of all the clips, with chapter marks which I can quickly jump to. But when I create the file from PPro, I get all the clips in one nice big file, but with no chapter marks. If I create it from Encore, it cuts the file into lots of little Flash files, the cutting points being the chapter marks. How can I create one big Flash file consisting of all the little clips, but with chapter marks which I can jump to?

Firstly, I've created with Adobe Captivate an SWF file which I have been able to reference in an aspx page and when I view the website, it runs fine (no other file is referenced to run this). Example of the below code in the aspx page I have created:
object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab# version=8,0,0,0"width="500" height="400" id="Untitled-1" align="middle"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /><param name="movie" value="progressive2.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#aaaaaa" /><embed src="MY_VIDEO.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"width="500" height="400" name="Untitled-1" align="middle"allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object>
My objective is this. I have a final edited FLV video file. I also have Flash Professional. What I want to do is create a single SWF file (like with the Adobe Captivate example), which will include the video and the skin for the progress bar, volume etc and then reference this in another aspx page for the website.
I want to be able to have the same 'packaged' SWF file, as in the captivate, created from this FLV video. In Flash Proffessional, I've imported the FLV into the 'stage' and added a skin through the wizard. But trying to publish or other options, I've not been able to get this single 'packaged' SWF file to run correctly in the website, via the same apsx code as above.Am I missing a trick here? I would presume it would be fairly simple as I don't want to edit the video, more I want to embedded it with a skin in the one SWF file.

I wanted to create an application installer (per chapter) like the one implemented on the product on this site:[url]...i have no problem creating flash apps but i'm so lost on making installers , like update installers for the same app.. the idea is that on first installation of my app, other contents are not available until the user downloads it from my site and install it on their pc. and that installer will just update the existing one with the new downloaded content.

I created a button in Illustrator and imported to my Flash library. The button has drop shadows, overlay and gradients. It imports and previews just fine until I change it to a button. When I go to preview it, there are these thick red boxes that seems to incase every layer of the button?

OK I have been racking my brain to get this resolved and unfortunately there isn't a lot of info on the web. Scenario: We are in a shared environment. Central file server (Mac OS X server) over gigabit enet. We open flash files over the network and then we "try" to publish the files back to the same server in which the .fla is stored. (I have read John at Adobe's comments on the practice but this DID work).
So we access the flash file at /Volumes/ServerName/JobFolder/~Flash/ and we "attempt to" publish the .swf to /Volumes/ServerName/JobFolder/htmlfolder/flash .... this was working previously in flash 6-7 but in 8-cs3 it has stopped working and we are kicking ourselves to get some answers. When we try to publish we get the following error: "Error creating Flash movie file. Be sure the destination is not locked or on a locked drive. Also, check that the file name is not too long."

Though I find that chapter interesting and that I might have a legitimate use for it, it is a bit skimpy with details. I need to COPY MOTION TWEEN AS ACTIONSCRIPT on three different tweens (three different layers), but the tweens need to be perfectly synchronized.

I'm using the flvplayback component for my video player. i have additional buttons that seek to navigation cue points embedded in the video. all of it works, but i would also like to highlight the button of the current section of the video.i tried adding an event cue point just after the navigation cue points that triggered a movie clip to switch frames based on which event cue point it passes and that works as it should, but the problem is when a user clicks in the seek bar they can potentially skip the event cue point of that section, thus not triggering the movie clip to go to the appropriate frame. possible to put an event listener on the seek bar and then find the previous cue point?

I have a main swf movie that loads other swfs into into level 1. The first is "intro.swf", next is "01.swf", "02.swf" and so forth... At the end of "introl.swf" the last frame says: [AS]loadMovieNum("01.swf", 1);[/AS] ... and it just goes through the rest of the loadable movies throughout playback... no problem. In my main swf, I have playback controls... I want to be able to control the swfs in a next chapter and previous chapter manner, so that I can skip to the next chapter at the press of a button....
Code:
on (release) {
if (_root._level1 == "intro.swf")
loadMovieNum("01.swf", 1);
else if (_root._level1 == "01.swf")
loadMovieNum("02.swf", 1);
[Code] .....
I am trying to basically skip to the next chapter within that level1 there.....

We would like to start creating RIA using Flash, focusing more-so on the side of enterprise level web applications rather than simple Flash animations. I need to start getting my design/development group here up to speed on Flash, but cannot make heads or tails of the software to focus on from Adobe. Flash Professional CS5, Flash Catalyst CS5 or Flash Builder 4?

I have a swf gallery that I created in flash MX which accesses images in folder using an XML file. This XML file has a header and a footer, and a standard image node for each image where the information of the exact name of each image... ie image01.jpg and the description of it ... and their locations .... is gallery01/image01.jpg etc, where gallery01 would be the folder. Currently all of this information about the images is entered by hand in the XML file and this task starts to become very tedious when there are many images per gallery. What I would like to konw.... and like to do... is create an swf or flash application that would create a the xml file... Ideally I would like the user to have a sort of gui in which each image from a folder to which he or she browses to ...is displayed... one at a time... and with the display of each image .. there is a text field where the user can name and type the description of the image.... and all of this data should somehow be recorded and stored in an XML file.

I am extremely new to Flash (using CS4) and want to create flash videos for display in web pages. I have used a few of the wizards and have gotten some rough, very amateurish looking results, but at least they work. I owuld now like to create a more professional looking product that has a nice looking player skin, a thumbnail preview that is typically included, and some sort of "Click to Play" button.

How can I create a component using Flash CS5? I have tried to follow various documents I have found on google and went about it in the following way:
1. I created an empty FLA.
2. I created a MovieClip containing some graphics, and named the MovieClip "MyTestComponent" in the Library.
3. I selected the MovieClip's properties in the Library and selected "Export for Actionscript", and made the MovieClip inherit from fl.core.UIComponent.
4. I saved the FLA in the directory "C:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Flash CS5CommonConfigurationComponents" and restarted Flash. At this point I would expect that the MyTestComponent component would show up in the Components panel, but it did not.
5. I tried to publish the FLA as an SWC file and place the SWC file in the same file as above. According to my understanding, both this and the step above should have worked, but it did not.

How can I create a scrollbar in Flash so that when someone views my webpage they will be able to scroll down and view all of the content on the page?

I am working on school project for a beginner Flash class. The code I was given in class for the preloader does not for my particular flash movie. Q #1: can you create the pre-loader within the same file as the movie (ie separate scenes)?Q #2: if yes, why wouldn't it wouldn't work for me? i was told that it doesn't for all files, but i would like to know why?Q #3: is there a way to do it through two different files with coding (the preloader file pulling up the movie file)?

Since I started using CS3 I sometimes get the following error: Error creating Flash movie file. Be sure the destination file is not locked or on a locked drive. Also, check that the file name is not too long. It doesn't happen all the time, and I haven't been able to figure out what causes it. I have been able to confirm that it's not anything to do with locked files/drives, permissions, or file name length.
It happens with files created elsewhere (by other developers) that I've modified, and it happens with files I start from scratch - I can create a new FLA on my desktop and it won't publish. Sometimes (but not always), publishing to a different directory than the one the FLA is in will work. This is becoming a big problem. I'm on OS X 10.4.9, 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro 17", running CS3 Web Premium package.
