Professional :: Swf File Not Resolving As Flash File?
May 12, 2011
I have a Flash (.swf) I have dropped on my desktop. All I see is a white icon and when I click on it, a window comes up asking what service I should use to open it. I dont have Flash as in the client application installed however do have Flash and Shockwave Players installed.Although I dont have the client Flash application installed, in the past I have NEVER had an issue where .swf files did not resolve as an actual FLASH file.
I have created a booklet in InDesign cs4 that includes page turn transitions. I have saved it as a SWF file and it works perfectly on my PC with the ability to sweep through the page turns. My issue is now, what type of file can I export the SWF file to so that I can view it on an iPad and am still able to have the page curls?
I have a problem with SharedObject. I created SharedObject using AS2.0 it's working fine.... my question is can it possible to store the variable values in an .txt file where the flash file is saved... basically the SharedObject will store the vallues in localdrive with file extention. not only using SharedObject if any other way to store the vaules in .txt file will be helpfull for me... my requirement is to store the the position of the swf file and when the time it reopen, it should start from previous position.
I changed a layer entry of my Flash file by moving around various elements within the layer. I sitll have the original file, too. I'd like to put it back exactly like it was in the original file. How do I replace the changed sprite element from the new file with the original from the old file?
i want to know how i can put a flash file inside a flash wbsite. i have found a tutorial [URL] that says something like that but in this tutorial if i understand correctly it creates a new flash project and add another swf inside. i have my website created and i just want to add video gallery, image gallery etc that are already swf. how i can do that?
I have been working on a project for a week and suddenly it crashed during save (nothing strange had been imported or anything i just saved after moving content around) and now i cant open my file again. I contacted adobe support who claim that since the problem is related to the file this is not their problem, what a load of HORSE ****, who should i contact about this dell if its an FLA FILE!? I have already renamed the file to flash.zip then opened with WinRar and repaired as a new zip file to a different folder (which removes the corrupt content which is document something.xml) then i tried renaming this folder back to flash.fla however the file still does not open.
I'm trying to find out if it's possible to use a .ICO file instead of a .PNG or .JPEG file in my Flash project. Is this even possible? The reason I'm asking is that the project I'm putting together uses ActionScript 2.0 code (not sure if that makes a difference or not) and displays a bunch of images for a bunch of different applications. So instead of creating a .PNG file for each application, since I've already got .ICO files on hand, I'd rather use those (saving me a ton of time).
trying to work out why Flash is publishing an unexpected swz file with one recent project. From what I can tell this is an optional run-time library used to reduce file size. My problem is that it is causing all sorts of text formatting grief when I try to import my swf into Adobe Captivate. how I can publish a swf without generating a swz? Why on earth has Flash opted to generate this unexpected file in the first place (assuming user error, but can't work out what I've done)?
I asked a conversion question on the Apple forums since I wasn't getting any response on here I am trying to get my flash files over to iMovie without losing quality by converting to a quickmovie file. I was told on the Apple forums to look into a mac file converter. I asked this on there and now I'm asking it on here, hoping for a response this time. Does anyone agree with this method and if so, which file converters are best and are there any good free ones?
I have a Flash and swf file right now. I want to be able to play that file in another Flash file I'm making, the main Flash document. However, Flash CS4 cannot import other swf files.... for some unknown reason, and play it like a movie clip. I want it to play like a movie clip, which apparently can only be accomplished by using a flv file. Shouldn't I be able to make my swf or flash file into a flv file? I mean, Flash can read flv files, so why can't I export or convert to a flv file? I'm looking for free converters, but I have the Media Encoder that comes with Flash CS4. I just can't import swf or flash files! It can only make those files, it can't bring them into Media Encoder.
I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?
For some reason I am unable to create a FLV file from a MP4 file with high bitrate. I even created a custom setting and specified bitrate as 2500 but the output file is always around 775.
When i save the file as an .swf file to view it in my browser the video gets really big (sized the flash document 250x240 px) . How can i easily control my flash video sizes?
another thing: When im doing a video and work with things that are outside of my white document (in the gray area) for instance things that are to be faded into the document and so on. These things also show up in outside of my video when i view it in my browser.
I have a flash file using xml to link to html pages all within SharePoint. When I click on a link from inside flash, it opens up a new browser window with the html content.Is there a way to open the html content in the same browser that the flash file is in?
I have a task to upgrade a web site. I have a map of ND with some cities on it. I needed to add a new city to the SWF which did not seem to be hard (asuming I did it correct). The action on all the buttons for each city look like this except the name after the # is the city selected.
on (release){ getURL("locations_info.html#minot", "location_content");} In HTML code snip that controls this looked like this : <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
I never worked with movie files before and I'm having problems to play a f4v file from a html file.
Inside flash, when I do a ctrl+enter, the video shows and plays just fine.
When building the .html file to play it all, only my presentation and movie skin will show up but the movie won't load.
Even if I do a file > publish the video won't show up or play. Everything I have on timeline is working just fine (and again, even the videoskin is showing up).
Now, do I have to change anything inside publish settings or do I need to try something different with html?
I have a slash template that I will be inserting video into, the template is set up for a .flv file ? what would I change in Dreamweaver or Coda to edit this file so that it can play video with a .swf file instead of a .flv file? here is the template
I have CS5.5, know very little about Flash, and can't find the answer to this anywhere. I know how to go into Flash, create an ActionScript 3 project, save it, imort a video, add a skin and export it. However, the result is two files. Not what I want.
Is there a way to combine a video file and player skin into one file?
How to convert a SWF file to FLV file? (using CS4-AS3) How to export to FLV file from the FLA file? (using CS4-AS3) While trying to export to MOV file from the FLA file (using File > Export option), the software blocks each time on "recording flash content" and basically I cannot export to the desired file formats (flv and mov).
I imported a .mov file into a .swf file and it works great. Then I embedded the .swf file into a web page. Again, it seemed to work fine--at least works fine when I open it in a browser locally. However, after I upload everything to the server, the .swf file seems to be okay, but the embedded video no longer works. I triple checked that all of the links are correct, all of the files are uploaded (including the embedded video) but nothing works.

Can one.swf file control the actions of another .swf file contained in the same HTML page?ample:FloatingMenu.swf would control the timeline in MainStage.swf
I downloaded a youtube video which was an MP4 and used Flash CS3 Video Encoder to encode it to an FLV file. Actually improved the quiktime file. Anyway, my question is: I want to encode the FLV file to an AVI file to put on a DVD for a friend to view in their DVD player. They don't have internet capabilities [] so I can't email the link. If I can make a DVD so they can view the AVI files that would be the cats meow!! I tried using the video import wizard to import the FLV file into Flash CS3 but can't seem to figure out what to do.
I changed my FLA file to 24 FPS from the default 12 fps- this change was reflected in the FLA file, but whenever I "test" the movie or view the SWF file, the file only plays at the original 12fps.
