I make basic promo videos for some of my clients & a couple need the file in swf format.Currently I am using iMovie (for basic image to image cross disolves). I am learning Premier Pro& plan on using that in the next month or so.iMovie exports in .mov format. What is the best way of converting to swf? Would it be media encoder to FLV, then Flash to SWF?
I am using Mac OS 10.5.6 & I have CS4
im trying to create a conversion utility that uses number input via calculator style buttons to generate conversion for the following distances:
-Miles to/from KM
-cm to/from mm
-binary to/from decimal
Now i was thinking of possibly having the options contained within an drop down and an input text field where the numbers are entered via the calculator buttons. The only thing im struggling with is how to perform the actual calculations on the different formats. Has anyone had to do anything similar in the past? Ive only found currency conversion examples and not sure how to apply that to these conversions.
I am converting a regular movie from Windows moviemaker wmv export (exported at highest quality) and converting it with Xilisoft flv converter (at highest quality upon conversion) and I noticed the output quality of the final FLV is degradated a little. Some of the symptoms are: lower light, slight pixelation,and loss of crisp detail. Audio sounds great but why does the picture lose it's clarity from how it looks in moviemaker? I can see the crispness of the outlines in the video in Moviemaker, but in the final flv, it loses that. Is there anything I can do to make it keep it's original crisp look like how it looks in MM, or do you have to expect a loss of quality when using flvs?

View 4 RepliesI often recieve FLV files for work and need to convert them to SWF. I know that flash imports FLA files but not FLV... I converted the FLV the F4V, opened it in flash, exported it as a SWF and it worked great... once.After that it rendered a white screen. How can I take an FLV file and properly convert it to a SWF suitable for web serving?

View 2 RepliesI have an idea for a simple game/program and not sure if Flash is the way to go.After reading many articles I've come to the conclusion that if I wanna make my idea a reality then I need to do it myself but not sure where to start.Before spending the money on buying cs 5.5 want to make sure it can do what I need.So my question is can you have users input data that would then control your animations?
For a simple example:I want a user to be able to input a number then depending on the number a certain animation sequence would occur.So say a user inputs the number 10 then my animation would walk over to a pile of say apples and pick up 10 apples. If they input 5 the animation would pick up 5 apples etc...So my idea has nothing to do with apples but revolves around the user inputting numerical data which would then control what the animations do.
I have been creating animations for children, and recently finished an animated short. I am more of an artist than a techie, and I have not been able to find a clear cut answer as to what is the best way to convert flash to DVD. What file should be converted to achieve the best quality? SWF? MOV file? Is there a way to do it from flash? from Adobe Premier? I tried the AVI output and the quality was terrible.
Is a seperate converter needed? If so, are which give the best quality audio and visually? Here are some of the basic requirements for an animated short entry: DVDs must be compatible with standard set-top DVD players-- do not simply burn a quicktime or AVI file to a disc as data. It is highly preferred that you send us an NTSC, Region 1 or region free (Region 0) DVD when submitting to us, but we will also accept PAL and SECAM formats as well. If you are sending a DVD that has a region code other than 0 or 1, and/or a format other than NTSC, please mark this CLEARLY on the disc AND on the DVDcase.

View 0 RepliesThis seems like it should be MUCH simpler than it is turning out to be: I have made a custom template in Flash CS4. I want to share it with a colleague. The obvious solution, I would think, would be to COPY the template file from my hard drive, and provide it to my colleague.
However, I have looked high and low, and CANNOT FIND WHERE USER TEMPLATES ARE STORED on my hard drive. I have found the Adobe-provided templates that are included with the product (the "Advertising" templates) at Program Files>Adobe>Adobe Flash CS4>en>Configuration>Templates>Advertising; but MY CUSTOM TEMPLATES are not in the Templates directory.
I have also looked in My Documents, and run several searches on my hard drive, but still cannot find the location of my custom templates. Surely they are SOMEPLACE on my hard drive, as they are available from the Splash page every time I boot up Flash CS4.
I'm doing a trial of the CS5 applications and I cannot seem to find out to increase the size of the font on my user interface. I'm finding the default font size to be too small to work effectively and find the commands I need. I've tried Edit->Preferences which is where one typically finds this type of interface option; however, I do not see any way to do this. I've tried adjusting my screen resolution and screen font size and while this affects every other application on my screen, it does not affect Flash Professional.

View 9 RepliesI have a site that contains approx 20 pages of lengthy forms. The forms exist on single frames within the flash movie. This application is used as a demo only, so I do not have a need to submit the form data. The demo is used to go back and forth from form to form and fill in mock data. The problem is when the user goes from form to form the data they have entered is not saved. Is there a way I can set all frames to remember the data entered into the form without having to set every form control instance? There thousands of fields in these forms and I am trying to avoid individually naming them and scripting them to save their values.

View 0 RepliesIs it possible to convert swf to flv dynamically.
View 0 RepliesSearched around for this one a bit. Kinda sucks that there are a lot of synonyms for HSV.
HSB, HLS, HSL, HSB, HBS, etc.
Basically Hue, Saturation and ( Brightness / Value / Luminosity ).
What I am trying to accomplish is an extremely fast way to convert 24-bit RGB values to 24-bit HSV values. I've tried a few different ways with somewhat unexpected results.
Using a lookup table for every 24-bit color eats tons of memory and is actually slower than calculating the values on-the-fly (doesn't make sense to me).
Here's a partial example of what I currently use:
Code:
package org.peaceoutside.utils

I have a whole bunch of WAV files, and for each of them I am to create a SWF file, which will contain this WAV (of course compressed as MP3) on the first frame, and then on a separate leyer there will be a stop action on the last frame, corresponding to length of this WAV. The SWF is supposed to have the same name as WAV. I s there any way to automate this process?
