Professional :: Importing CS5 Flash SWFs To After Effects?
Apr 25, 2011
I'm having a real bad time with Flash CS5, mostly by how it is exporting stuff and is unable to seemingly work with After Effects CS5, the other big program I use in my workspaceIt seems that anytime I include text into my Flash file in CS5, I am alerted that the text layout has been exported to an external file at which point it will not be imported correctly with any animation in After Effects I've read that this has something to do with the new CS5 TLF mode.

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?

I got a web banner made from a person in india and I was trying to examine the fla file. In the library there are four .swf movie files and I don't think they were made in the adobe flash software as they would have taken all day to do. Is there a program out there that can quickly make cool text effects with a transparent background and then be able to import the finished txt effect into adobe flash and use in the fla file?
The banner I am relating to can be downloaded here [URL] and the text effects that I am talking about are
Movie1.swf
Movie2.swf
Movie3.swf
Movie4.swf

Is it possible to keep masks in an .swf that is imported to After Effects CS4? It seems that AE is displaying the masks every time.

From some reason when I'm importing a PNG sequence onto stage, it's loading all of the PNGs into one frame instead of distributing them into their own keyframes like it's supposed to. I've seen this problem posted before. Anybody have a solution for this? I've also seen that people have posted that Flash CS3 HATES After Effects PNGs....how bizarre....I'm starting to figure that out.

I found myself wondering whether it would be wiser for a person to construct complex animations (using multiple eases, transparency effects etc) in flash using the tween systems, or rather to create it in software like After Effects and export SWFs with transparency. I would imagine that for short, but complex animations, AE would be best because of the small SWF size of fewer frames being rendered. Another wonder I have would be whether creating complex tweens on a Flash timeline, then converting them to AS3 would be a processing nightmare. Should Tweens be restricted to simple tasks? Would anybody like to take a speculative 'stab' at the pros and cons of each method?

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 bought Production Premium so that I can make movies. But today I need a website topper (just a little motion graphic 850X226) I made my graphic that I like in After Effects, but now I need to put it in flash so it will play smoothly as a website title. It is importing at WAY too large of a file size when I import it into my website as a movie (>2MB) And how to make it into flash.
I tried "exporting" my comp as a .swf but the swf isn't playing parts of my video are not playing (certain effects and lights). what I need to do to get my title bar to play on a website perfectly.

[URL]I'm designing my own photography site and am trying to produce something along the lines of contemporary photography websites (big images).The point being that I want the images/swf large enough to fill the ever growing trend for big monitors.This is where my problem begins - I want to have a slideshow of 5 images from each of the areas I cover.. simple enough sure. But, if I produce the slideshow within the main swf - the file size is something like 6 mb - which is jsut a bit too big and takes a bit too long to preload.
So I decided to make each image in the slideshow a seperate swf and import consecutively. The problem is that I need the external swf to trigger/import the next swf.I have had some success with importing to levels... but I need the swfs to import into a mc_holder because it needs to sit below my nav buttons and title.so I have this script to call in my slideshow to my holder.
"loadMovie("slideshow.swf" , "clipholder2");"
At the end of slideshow.swf is this "unloadMovie(this);" which unloads my movie. What I can't do is get slideshow.swf to import slideshow2.swf into my 'clipholder2'..

I've incountered a problem that I need help figuring out...I'm using dynamic buttons to load external swfs into an area within an interface on level0. There is an actionScript on a button that has been duplicated dynamically..The external swf is loaded into a host mc called "subpage_mc". The swf that should be loaded, is indicated within an array in the first frame of _level0.
Here's actionScript on button before dynamic duplication:_level0.loadMovie(link,"subpage_mc");
The script works, but it replaces the interfacce completely on leve0. I want the new swf to load into level0 and for the interface to be visible at all times, not to be replaced. Does this issue have to do with instance stacking order? How should I make sure that this doesn't happen?

while ago I made a created a basic effect in Flash CS4 whereby a selection of logos on my web-page gradually disappeared (in the same spot, not shrinking in size first or any other of the effects displayed in the motion presets) think this was done by some kind of preset but it doesn't seem to be in the motion presets panel. I can not seem to remember how it was done and I can't find the relevant settings. I don't know ActionScript so it was definitely a preset.Enclosed are some screen shots of the effect that I mean (stages every few seconds until they completely disappear).

I am now trying to make a flash intro for my web site.I have downloaded some free templates for the same and examined them.Some special effects, means colour abstrract moving effects or explosion like effects are in that 'fla' file.They appear as movie clips. I can export them as flv also.How they are created? Is it in flash itself or from some other programs like after effects or something?I would like to create such effects for myself. If it is not in flash, then there is no point in wasting time figuring out the methods by myself.

I have a problem with importing a galery(.swf) to my flash file that has imported pictures and text from a xml source..the gallery is in the same xml. The thing I cant understand is when I import a different file instead .. all works fine. Is there a limit of how complex a imported swf can be?

there are many flash with obviously too complicated video effects thsat impossible to create in Flash itself even with most advanced actionscript. I purchased couple of samples and it turns out its just sequence of images from the video i guess. So my question what video programs are used to create this and what effects packs are availible for flash or that video programs i rather buy stack than pay per each.

I made a music Player swf and it works properly by itself.I recently tried to load it into my main FLA for my website by using Import to Library,and then I dragged it from there into my canvas.For whatever reason, upon rendering it does not work at all, it shows up but none of the functions work and the music doesnt play.Also I tried doing it like this:
I made a preloader that would load the Swf and it actually worked and the functions were all there,however there were 2 problems.First problem was that I did not know how to control where it loaded so it was over my main text and not in the right area.Second problem, for whatever reason the preloader would re run and load the SWF again everytime a function went off (like clicking on one of the buttons or rolling over something that had a color tween) which resulted in it loading like a bunch of the same swf and being a problem.

I'm using Flex builder 3 for my main application (web-based), and I need to load multiple swf files built in flash cs4 (AS3) at different times. The flash swfs import assets from a separate flash swf used as a shared library. I'm using 1 swf loader in flex to keep 1 flash swf loaded at a time.Loading the first swf works fine, but loading subsequent swfs generates an error in importing from the shared library swf.
Here's an example of an error:
"ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable sharedApps is not defined."

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.

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.

I have been using the new version of Flash since it came out in May or June and have had no problems with sound file import. Now today all of a sudden I can't import MP3s - I get an error that says it can't import the file, but nothing further to help me diagnose the problem. I have downloaded these from the web from a company that records files - the same company I have used before with no problems. The old files from them still work, but the new files, and recent MP3s I've downloaded won't work. I tried downloading on another machine with Windows NT but that didn't work either. I have had a programmer work with the MP3s to make sure they were indeed formatted as MP3, and those files won't import either. I am on Windows 7 Pro. I also turned off my firewall in case that was the problem, and still no resolution.
