why does my exported .mov file freeze/skip? I exported a .mov if HD 1280x720 and it freezes/skips. If I convert it to another format it's okay. Is it my video card or am I am not exporting it right? I used the h.264 and compressor quality best.

No .swc is found. I already selected the export to .swc file in Publish Settings, however the result is sameQ2. I have tried to export a .swc file on the Library Panel. It works. However, when I import it into Flash Builder. I can't find any new component in the Custom Component Panel in Flash Builder
View 1 RepliesI've imported a multi-layered Photoshop file (that contains layers with elements smaller than the project size... so each layer is alpha with an element floating somewhere on the canvas.I was pleasantly surprised to see that it not only imported into Flash CS3, but also kept all the alpha and successfully exported as a Flash file with the alpha (of each layer) intact. I didn't think it would be able to do that!Anyway, the one thing that concerns/interests me is whether whatever it's doing is compatible on all systems that it'll reach. At first, I thought it was converting each layer into a PNG file, since (to the best of my knowledge) jpegs dont' support transparency, and the layers were not converted to vectors.
So, what exactly IS it doing to each layer? What is it exporting them as? How compatible is that on other systems (browsers, O/S's, etc) these days? Also, are PNG files now fully supported in all browsers and systems?I'd hate to build my whole site, only to find that it's not compatible on some other system....Bit of back story... I'm creating a multi-layered interface (background, then another level with some random loaded swf file, then the 'moving stuff' (nav buttons, titles, etc), and then an odd shaped frame on top of that. Previously, I did it by making everything with Flash vectors... but this time, I tried making all the elements/layers in Photoshop with just bitmaps (rather than vectors), as I wanted a bit more detail.
Originally, I was considering vectorizing them, so it would be all vectors and no bitmaps.... but with all the gradients and details, they would be an inefficient nest of vectors.... quite a mess.So, then I considered doing most of the screen as a bitmap background image, and putting the 'moving stuff' as vectors on top (...and perhaps use masks so that they appeared to go behind the frame and foreground items... but I was worried that (on perhaps other systems or configurations) the image and the vector matte wouldn't align for some reason.
Has anyone tried to open a .fla file exported out of InDesign CS5 to change the Flash Player setting to 9, rather than 10, then resave (or publish) as a .swf file?
If so, how did you get it work work again? What did you do to maintain the programming?
When I publish the file as .swf out of Flash CS5, then upload it to a remote server or view it in a browser window, everything has gone wacky--text is larger in scale than in the original file and the animations (fade in and slide in) on the first page, which I can't get past, run in a continuous loop.
I'm using Flash CS5 and am currently working on an animation/advertisement as part of my final exam in Applied Art. This is a relatively large file consisting of internally animated Graphics and Movie Clips. When playing it in the .SWF player it seems to play fine with no extreme lag accept for a single second at the beginning but when exported to a .mov file it plays extremely slowly causing the frame rate to decrease considerably.I need to upload this onto my youtube channel when it is done as the link needs to be sent to the examiner. All this may have something to do with the fact the .mov file, although unfinished, already weighs 75.6MB at 30 seconds of work.
View 3 Replies1. Can skip "Exporting SWF Movie" step once i successfully exported and built an swf.I dont need to to export & built it every time when there are no code/design changes. Wasting lot of time to export to swf file. Can I skip and run already built swf from CS4 workspace directly?
2. Is there any commandline/scripting provisions is available in CS4 to automate the exporting/publishing part. So that i can run the script to publish a swf?
Is it possible to create a flash file, which can be embedded into a website for on-demand viewing and be exported to a cd while maintaing interactivity, that is geared towards an online elearning environment?

View 2 RepliesFlash freezes when in fullscreen, youtube or any other site. Disabling hardware acceleration works but significantly lowers the playback quality. I'm running XP SP3 and WIndows 7, same problem with both OSs, in IE, Firefox, Opera, and Google chrome, so it's definitly the adobe flash player that's causing the problem. Tried unninstaling adobe flash player and adobe activeX completely, than downloaded latest versions and installed them. Then I tried unninstaling them, unninstalling all the browsers, restarting, then installing the browsers and then the latest flash player.
View 7 RepliesI am new to flash, and I've never done animation before, so I'm a little confused on how to make a symbol movie clip, freeze and then keep moving.
Do I need to do it frame by frame?
I made a character walk from off the stage to the center by using a motion tween and it appears to be moving because I edited the symbol to make the legs move. But now I don't know how to make the legs stop when the character reaches the end of the motion tween. Is it even possible?
I am very frequently having Flash CS5.5 freeze up whenever I try to copy and paste Library content between two different FLAs. The object I'm copying is usually a Movie Clip with some child Movie Clips.The larger or more complex the FLA you're pasting into, the worse the problem seems to be.I''ve experienced this on two different systems, Both Macs running 10.6.7.The problem is bad enough that it renders 5.5 unusable.

I am developing a product for schools including flash animations - swf files written in AS3 - for insert/embed into PowerPoint slideshows. Hundreds of customers are waiting. It is all working apart from one problem: when inserted/embedded in PowerPoint 2007 slideshows my animations freeze (sometimes) when you leave and return to a PowerPoint slide containing them.
I have found that when you show a PP2007 slide containing a flash movie, move on to the next slide and then return, (sometimes) the time-related Events (ENTER_FRAME, TIMER etc) have stopped being dispatched to AS3 code by Flash Player, freezing animations. Other Events such as MOUSE_MOVE, KEY_DOWN etc are dispatched to AS3 in random bursts. I have created a small flash program and PowerPoint slideshow to demonstrate the problem and put them on the web at: [URL].
I have a small animation I need in a flv format.Here's what I did...
exported avi from 3D program
converted to flv and imported into flash CS4
embed into timeline, added a logo
I published it, but I need a .flv, not a .swf.
I have a simple form on a exported movie, but some characters do not appear on the screen.[URL]..

I had been using Flash MX 2004 previously to create sprites for video games. In the "export" dialog, there was a check box labeled 'smooth,' which I could un-check in order to retain the hard edges that I needed in order to use the sprites in a game.Somewhat recently, I upgraded to Flash CS4. I have since noticed that, while the 'smooth' checkbox is still there in the "export" dialog, it doesn't do anything.I have tried many different options for exporting, including all different kinds of file types. Through this experimentation, I also noticed:1) that even though it is possible to choose a palette when exporting a .gif, the exported image does not use this palette, and2) that if one exports the image as an Adobe Illustrator file, the colors are wrong.
View 1 RepliesI have a problem with Input Text boxes within an exported swf. The font (Arial Narrow) has been embedded via Text > Font Embedding (Uppercase, Lowercase, Numerals, and Puncuation checked); but, upon export, certain characters do not register (specifically j, q. u, z, 8, and 9) or automatically take one case or the other (B, M, W, and X are always Uppercase; while k always appears as Lowercase).

Anyway...I know that you can type the text in Word and then save it as plain text with the CR/LF changed into either CR or LF.For me it works fine and so will it for most of you.I'm writing a website for a firm who has someone to update the textfiles the site is reading. She is cute, but I want to make the darn thing fool proof of course. So isn't there a way to read the text file, search for double linefeeds and skip it before it is placed into the textframe? Just to tell her to type the info into notepad and then WYSIWYG? (It's going to be code-free, so no bold, italics etc.)
I'm attempting to use CS4 (PC/Vista, if that matters) to create a SWF file that will basically act as a "library" of commonly used symbols. This SWF would be loaded at runtime by other SWFs, which could then use the symbols within it, including all art and code assets.

I found a very useful AIR remote updater [URL] written by Claus Wahlers. It works fine but I have a question which I myself can't figure it out. Just a newbie in flash I guess. Question: What if the script can't find yourapplication.air inside my domain.com host? What will happen? I have tested it out. It appears that the script keep on running to find yourapplication.air inside my server. But it is not there. How do I make a timeout when if there is no such "yourapplication.air" file in the server / it will skip the update process?
