Professional :: Importing Ai Files Into Flash - Color Not Preserved?
Oct 5, 2010
I am finding discrepancies between color values when importing Ai files into Flash CS3 (between 2 users)
1. The Ai files are in RGB.
2. There are 2 users, 1 using Leopard and 1 using Tiger.
3. The Tiger users colors change when importing into Flash, the Leopard users preserve the native Ai file's colors.
4. Both Using CS3
5. Both Creative Suite Color settings in Bridge are the same (North American General Purpose 2)
Side note, we are both seeing multiple North American General Purpose 2 options in Creative Suite Color settings in Bridge

so Flash was importing my PSD files in the folders I had my layers filed into. Well ... now, Flash will only import PSD folders as one big file and so I cannot edit in Flash.

So I been trying to import a psd file in flash to animate using diifferent layers from Photoshop. The problem is there's always artifacts around the image once it imports. I can't seem to get rid of themwhen I need clean shapes to animate. When I go back to reclean the image in photoshop, it looks crisp and I don't see obvious artifacts spots as I do in flash.
So how does one get clean image shapes from photoshop or detect artifacts before going through the trouble of importing?

Im using PS CS5 to build the parts of animation i am making in Flash CS5. Im not using PS for the animation as the GIF quality is horrendous, and also rotating layers for animation is a no go!Anyway, im saving the individual layers in (Save for Web) as PNG-24 files with transparency. Then importing them 'To Stage' in Flash. That side is all good.
When ive made the animation in Flash and go to 'Publish Preview' there is a 'background' there. Also there is a border around the files on the stage. This appears to be the size of the 'background' in the animation. Transparency is set in the GIF settings.

I have Flash CS5 at work, and CS3 at home. I am creating a FLA file at home that I'd like to append to an existing file at work. I'm guessing that I'll just need to import all of the symbols from the CS3 file into the CS5 file and then copy and paste the frames - or is there a better way to do it? What I'd really like to do is to somehow convert the CS3 file into a movie clip symbol that I could just run in the CS5 file. Is this possible?

It looks perfect when the stage is set to 100%.But when I shrink the stage (even in the SWF), the quality of the image becomes choppy and the edges of objects become pixelated.Same thing with enlarging it.The publish setting JPG quality is set to 100%.How do I fix this?It's mostly the quality of shrinking it that I'm worried about; this image/flash will go on a webpage & I plan to have it automatically adjust its size based on the browser's size.

I am manipulating arrays in several ways including, changing the position of elements in the array, adding items to the array and deleteing items from the array.
I am tracing the array after each manipulation to see if the correct values are reported and noticed a weird problem.
When adding to the array (which is triggered by a drag and drop) I get the correct initial value and the correct value after the value is added, in other words I see the new value in the array in the correct position. For example "C042.jpg" is the value added and that is what is traced.
after rebuild and showArray = C001.jpg,C042.jpg,C002.jpg, . . .
However, when I trace the array from another function, the added element no longer appears. So for example if I check the array prior to deleting, I get the following:
prior to delete and show array = C001.jpg,C002.jpg,C003.jpg, . . .
The array has reverted to it's initial state.

I have a problem while trying to import any sound file into flash CS5.5. I have not successfully done it since purchasing the program. I have tried opening the file in a sound editor and saving it, as well as trying to convert to a different sound type that is still Flash compatible. I'm trying with .mp3 and .wav files mostly. The error messages i receive are "Couldn't import C://*file location* or else i get"One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them." I havent figured out a pattern as to why either might be showing or the connection to the file.

I'm creating an interactive flash application that uses hundreds of individual renders from a 3d modelling app. The image file size is 800 x 600. Each sequence that i import to the stage is around 120 images and each gets put into a separate key frame. The problem is, often when I import batches of files into flash the program crashes and stops responding.The problem gets worse after each succesful import ie. after importing the first lot of files, its unlikely that the second lot of files will importInterestingly, I dont have this problem on my pc.

At work we've been having a particularly irritating issue with svaing flash files in CS5.After making some changes to a flash file, and trying to save it, the flash file simply doesn't commit the changesand keeps the earlier version.We believe we've isolated the issue to importing from illustrator (CS5).It seems if you copy any rasterized images, or vectors with effects on them (such as drop shadows, glows etc)saving starts to have some issues, the saving itself seems to work fine, but reopening the files with often result withflash being reverted to a pervious saved version.I'm not sure what is the exact cause of the issue, but I do think it's certainly linked to illustrator importing.Has anyone else had issues with saving, and it rolling back to previous saves, and is there any way to avoid/fix this issue?

Well I have been having a major problem for the past four days. I imported 1 photoshop file into flash, everything was okay. I tried to import the others and an error message appeared stating that flash has crashed and has to close unexpectedly. I've re-installed flash and it does the same thing- so I know that isn't the issue. I have used other computers and it is still the same. I have been racking my brain everyday trying to figure it out. I checked the file sizes and they aren't that big and I compared them to other photoshop files I've imported and they are roughly the same size.
Also other photoshop files import, but the ones I actually want to use do not work at all. There is no way I'm re-designing 10 photoshop files!!
By the way when I saved some of the PSD files there was no extensions on the files, so I had to add them afterwards.

I am trying to import an swf file into Flash builder. My swf file is correct, and displays the correct data. However, when I import into Flash builder and launch my project, I get a blank HTML. Not sure why? I am carrying out the following steps in the sequence listed below
1. Create an FLA component in Flash Professional.
2. Go to Publish settings, click on export to SWC.
3. Exported SWC displays correct data.
4. Create new action script project in Flash Builder.
5. Add the SWC folder as path of the referenced library section.
6. Added the following code in action script code
var mystickyman:MovieClip = new stickman as MovieClip;
addChild(mystickyman);
Here stickman is the linkage if of swc given in Flash Professional.
I am using SWC for the first time , and am sure am missing out on some steps.

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?

I've been using Flash for a couple of years now... I use it mostly for designing fashion graphics (!!!). I know that Illustrator is excellent for creating artwork, I export Flash files as AI ones, but encounter numerous errors while opening such files in Illustrator. I think the problem is with the Color settings. Flash uses RGB, and CMYK is Illustrator's default settings. When I try to export a graphic symbol (with layers, groups of objects and simple shapes) from Flash Professional as an AI file, it always exports as Illustrator 6.0 version (wonder why)...
Then I try to open this file in Illustrator CS2 and always get a "BG" error message which is similar to this one:
Can't open illustration. The illustration doesn't have the correct number of operands for an operator.
Offending operator: "Bg"
Contex:
Bb
0000 Bh
1.0.0.000819.20.....etc. (lots of figures)...Bg
So after getting such a message and pressing "OK" there are 2 possible results:
1. The program (Illustrator CS2) opens a blank artboard (stage) with absolutely NO objects or symbols on it.
2. The program opens an incomplete graphic on the artboard (stage) with many missing objects and shapes (say, if I exported a graphic with 2 layers, the top layer will be missing).
Unfortunately, these are the most common results....Though a few days ago I hkept several AI files open and tried to export an AI file made in Flash. To my greatest surprise Illustrator could open the file with absolutely everything I exported from Flash! Except for Bitmap fills, of course....But everything else was just perfect! I was amazed no end! What settings should I have in order to be able to open AI files exported from Flash? If I got it once, it means it is possible to open such files... I have to use Illustrator more often now, and I need my artwork to be covered to AI files without significant modifications or corrections... Is it doable?

I got a XFL file, its library files and AS files in a directory.I would like to use Flash Builder 4(FB) for editing AS files, running the compiled SWF and profiling.When I created a New->ActionScript project in FB, I could edit the AS files but didn't know how to link the XFL file and run them.When I created a New->Flash Professional Project, I was prompted for a XFL file, and although the chosen XFL file and the AS files are in a same directory, the AS files are not automatically included in the project. I couldn't find a way to add exiting files in the project either.

I have a swf presentation with 28 pages. Each page contains a swf movie. It was originally done in 2005 with Flash Studio MX 2004 . In 2005 I imported a swf movie to each page and it all worked perfectly. The filesize was small and exe-filesize was 1,2 MB. Now when I have done small modifications to the swf in Flash CS4 and I try to import it to the main fla then it imports dozens of bitmaps and other stuff. After adding just that one swf exe-filesize is 5 MB and the swf is not even working. it is just a still.
Why canīt I just add the swf like before and it will work? I canīt/donīt want to do the loadmovie-thingy because this exe will go to a client who will share it over and over in their network. Once the file has external files it will be unusable immediately. It has to be in one file just like before. Do I have to go back to Flash Studio MX 2004 to make my modifications if I need to have just one file? Flash CS4 canīt import SWF directly anymore?

I have been making flash titles with a program called Mix FX. Unfortunately it will only save the files as projectors, swf and html files which I cannot use as a banner for my website. So is there any way that I could import a swf into flash so I can save it as a gif?

so i've just been learning flash and i'm really enjoying it, i have got to a point when i want to import sound but when i do. i get the following message... "one or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them." i am using windows xp and i have had this problem trying .aif and .mp3. (i haven't tried any other types but i think these should work anyway)
does anybody know why it isn't working? is it because i don't have the latest media players that flash uses? if so do you know which media player i should have? or is it something else?

I`m interpreting a large piece of MS Word text into movie shorts I mean to organize into an interactive `newspaper` style presentation that can be perused online. With `web-presentation`, I`m a true novice; so my first crucial question is: How, or can, I import text from MS Word into a Flash Film/Presentation, with all its fonts+colours intact? My rusty logic is that D-Weaver seems kinder to importing text, but is designed to make websites; I only want to make web-presentations, which I assume can inhabit websites such as MySpace.

I am using Soundbooth to record some sounds. I'm trying to save them as either a MP3 or WAV,but no matter bitrate I use for either file type, I get an error when I try to import it into Flash. I have the newest QT installed from the wormy fruit vendor, does not make a difference. I can save it as an .asnd and import it just fine, but that file type is huge.The files that give me the error open just fine by themselves in WMP

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 having a lot of trouble determining the cause of this problem... I have an uncompressed .wav file, and when I attempt to import the file into Flash Professional CS5, something... happens to it. The audio quality is reduced somewhat, but more importantly, the pitch drops at least an octave! I have checked to make sure the file is correct. I tried messing with the Sound Properties window for that in the library. I tried re-importing the sound normally, and using the Sound Properties box to do the same. No matter what I do, I can't get Flash to maintain the sound of the original file.

ok i have used the code snippets in cs5 that grabs a .swf online and shows it in the flash file. However this is not exactly what i want.
Instead of the command triggering from a click i want the movie to load automatically. How?
Also is there any way of getting a .swf file and importing it into a new flash document? i have tried all the methods out but the .wf does not actually work properly. I cant just copy the timelines over as i dont have access to the one file all i have is tthe .swf -
So either i grab it from my server or if there is a way to import it into the flash that actually works.

I have a PSD file with layers that I am trying to import into Flash. The problem that I am having is that the text effects that I have applied in Photoshop are not transferring into Flash. All I get is the Font, Font size, and color. But I used Drop Shadow on some of the and some other effects as well. None of these are transferring over to Flash. Do I have to save them in a certain way i n Photoshop in order to effect the transfer. I want to be clear. I am not trying to import text effects as separate layers or anything complicated. I just want the text to look like it does in photoshop.
