Ae converting ai layer to bitmap on swf export

I posted this problem a couple of weeks ago and thought the problem was solved. It is back.
I have an illustrator layer in ae, no mask, no effect, just an ai layer in an ae comp. I export as swf, when I bring it into flash, my lovely vectors have been turned into bitmaps. This should be a no brainer. Any ideas as to what is going wrong.
Mike Cardeiro

What's in the AI file? Gradients? Live Effects? Spot colors? Symbols, Art Brushes or any of that? AE would still have to rasterize some of that as there is no way to expresss it as vectors in Flash, at least not using this indirect route...

How can I convert a layer into a smart object with Adobe Photoshop Elements 10?

How can I convert a layer into a smart object with Adobe Photoshop Elements 10?

That feature is only in PS. Elements as you buy it has only limited support for smart objects. If you use File>Place to add something to your image it will come in as a smart object (within the limits to which PSE understands smart layers). However, if you know someone who can write an action for you in PS you can install it in PSE, or you could look into something like elements+ from simplephotoshop.com.

Converting ink drawing to bitmap

Hello. I am a comic artist and so scan a lot of black and white line work. The company I am working for want me to send my scanned black and white pages in bitmap mode instead of grayscale. The problem I am having is my line work is becoming very pixelated when converting to bitmap. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem.
Program- Photoshop CS6
Thanks very much for your help.

In addition to the other suggestions here,
This article on converting line drawings to bitmap is targeted specifically to comics artists.
http://www.netplaces.com/cartooning/processing-final-art-for-print/preparing-line-art-for- print.htm
Give that a shot,adjust as needed. For some a Threshold of 128 is better.
And the final bit of advice: While it looks jagged on the screen, it will print out perfectly. Don't go by screen appearance.
While the article specs 600 dpi, best advice is 1200 dpi.

SWF Export, no font showing in Acrobat and zoom border problem (Acrobat & Reader) - Indesign CS6

Hi Everyone,
If anyone could help me on this that would be great, I've spent hours on the forums and manuals to no avail.
I'm making an interactive PDF brochure in Indesign for one of our new products and I'm having issues (actual or perceived??!!) with the SWF export and PDF creation. I'm placing animations and video in the INDD, exporting it as an SWF (with the text option as Flash Classic Text) and then opening the SWF (not importing to a word doc or anything, just opening the SWF) with Acrobat using the advanced options to import the video resources and to enable the content when the page is opened. I then save the file as a PDF. In the PDF everything works as it should, the animations, the buttons, the video plays and so on. Great.. hmm not quite.
The trouble I am having is that all the content of the SWF when viewed in Acrobat seems to be getting rasterised/flattened - is this correct? After the SWF is opened, Acrobat indicates no fonts in the fonts tab in the document properties so when the SWF is zoomed in Acrobat, or the saved PDF in Reader, the font gets pixelated and the document is not searchable/text can not be highlighted. The images are not selectable either - it is as if the entire page has been flattened to one image. Is there a way to stop this so that the SWF opened with Acrobat retains the font and individual images like a normal PDF? Do I have to open the SWF in Flash first to set some parameters or something? Is there something I am doing wrong when exprting the SWF from Indesign? I think I have tried about every possible export combination. When I open the .HMTL (exported at the same time as the SWF from Indesign) in a browser, the same happens. All the animations work but the text appears to be rasterised/flattened/not searchable. Sorry if I'm not using the correct terminology.
I have tried importing the SWF back into another new INDD and exporting that as an interactive PDF but then the video does not work. I suppose I could try exporting all the individual animations as SWFs, importing them all and trying to get them to work with the video but I can see that will take quite some time and does not seem to be a guaranteed solution from what I have read on the forums - video playback being the issue.
Another problem is that when the SWF, or saved PDF, is zoomed in Acrobat/Reader between approx 150% and 210% a thick white border appears in the document and the content is squashed into the middle creating a slightly pixelated and narrow page. When I zoom out from the page I get a small white line on the right hand border at around 70% zoom. Please see images. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
On another, sort of related topic, my timing panel went blank yesterday and was not showing any animations in documents that it had been used to order and synch animations on page load as well as new documents. The panel was blank. I updated to V8.0.1 and the panel sprang back into life - hope that helps anyone else finding the same problem.
I am not very familiar with Indesign/Acrobat/Flash so I guess all the above could be what I'm doing or I could be asking really dumb questions - apologies from a newbie.
Best,
Emily

Hi All,
I have now pretty much solved all the issues by creating the SWF in Flash rather than Indesign. I would advise anyone looking to create an interative PDF with animation and interactivity to go with Flash from the start. While Flash is a little more involved to create the same effects as Indesign, the extra time taken will ensure a more controllable and better looking PDF in terms of text quality, scalability and so on. Plus you will not spend days trying to get video to work along side imported SWF etc in Indesign. One of the best controls in Flash is being able to set the stage.scaleMode for the document so the PDF still looks crisp when zooming, no white borders etc. So, create the .fla, export to .SWF, open the .SWF with Acrobat, modify the advanced settings to enable start on page load and save as a PDF. If you don't know Flash, I didn't a couple of days ago, watch a couple of tutorials on Youtube.. buttons, tweens, embedding video and you'll be ready. Don't be put off by ActionScript, there are really handy Code Snippets in CS6 that do all the heavy lifting for you.
Sorry Indesign!
Best,
Em

Can I make an InDesign CS4 .swf export scale depending on the open size of a browser?

Hi there. I would like to make my inDesign CS4 .swf file able to scale in accordance with the open size of a browser. When I have used Flash previously changing the size of the document to 100% achieved this effect. However, I'm not having much luck with this approach with my inDesign CS4 .swf export. I'm loathe to export it as an XML file for Flash as I want to keep my fancy page turns. Any help would be very much appreciated. I'm not very fluent in Flash-speak so I'd also appreciate it if anyone offering a solution could t-a-l-k r-e-a-l s-l-o-w.
Regards,
Jackie

This is quite old thread, I don´t have those source codes anymore... besides many people still uses monitors with width of 1024, 1219px wide magazine would clip in those monitors, so I don´t suggest to use it without shrinking....
Anyway, if you want to improve positioning of your SWF, you have at least two way to do it
1) Go to free http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/generator/index.html and create a new html-wrapper for your project
2) If that´s not enough or you want some extra features like zoom, print or search, go to http://www.edocker.com and download a free trial of eDocker.
ps. eDocker is in Adobe MAX Awards final, if you want to help it to win.... go to

Automatic page transition in swf-Export

Hello,
I have a brochure for a swf-export. I want the pages to turn automatically after a few seconds.
Haven't found such option yet. Hope you can help me.
Regards,
Paul

There´s no such feature in InDesign....
If you want to make that happen, you need to do some actionscript coding.
Is this what you want (it takes few seconds to start):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17227987/autopageturn/index.html
If it is, you can download those files as zip-pacakge:
http://www.edocker.com/support/edocker-freebies/
1) Extract ZIP,
2) replace SWFfromID.swf, you may actually export SWF from InDesign directly to that same folder, use that name and overwrite existing file.
3) Then open index.html to your browser.
Pageturning delay is 5 seconds.
If you need more control over your SWF, you may want to check http://www.edocker.com. With it you can add features like zooming, printing etc to your SWF files.....

Is it possible to write a script that changes swf export settings?

I want to be able to export a swf file that uses a different text anti-alias setting. Is it possible to create a script that can set and export a swf file to my specifications?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Is it possible to create a script that can set and export a swf file to my specifications?
It seems there isn't. A script cannot add basic functionality, only access it. In this case, you can't change the setting because there is no 'antialias text' setting in the SWF export settings.
However, all is not lost. Google turned up this helpful page; it might be possible to edit your SWF after exporting and then re-save it.

Animations to SWF Export, place back, make PDF: Acrobat XI?

I read that Flash runtime is not supported anymore in Acrobat XI. What does that mean for clients viewing PDF files that have placed SWF files and viewing them on computers that have no Flash player/plug-in installed? I have clients that export InDesign animations to SWF and place them back before making a PDF...

Please help me, how can i quit receiving thesemeseages from This In design forum?

Keynote swf export compatible with Flash AS3?

I have flash controls now written in AS3 but when I export swf from keynote I get a conflict- looks like keynote swf exports in as2. Is there anyway to change the keynote preference? Anyone know of other converters to produce swfs compatible with AS3?

Converting a movieclip to bitmap data (AS3)

Hi,
Just been gradually switching over to AS3, and I've hit a
problem and its doing my nut in because I can't find a way to get
it to work.
Basically I want to take a portion of a movieclip and convert
it into bitmap data into another movieclip.
I know the basis would be something like:
var b:BitmapData=new BitmapData(100,100,false);
var bm:Bitmap=new Bitmap(b);
mymc.addChild(bm);
But I can't work out how to get that to pick up the movieclip
that I'm trying to extract from.
Hayyyulp.
The link below is the kind of method I want, but because this
is drawn at real time it would cause the area to expand with the
movie clip, when all i want is to extract a portion and place it as
a surface texture. (draw on the box on the right hand side)
http://www.visitmyworld.co.uk/body.swf
Also, I don't really think it necessary to update in
realtime, that and id assume generating the bitmap area in real
time would cause major slowdown issues. If anybody has any
different solutions to what I propose then advice welcome.
The reason id want a bitmap is that data id want to project
could be complex layers, ie- items can be dragged on rather than
just being drawn on.
Cheers,
Adam

And also, whilst we're at it, I seem to have hit a bit of
trouble with understanding to call a parent function
ie - in AS2 you would put:
_parent.myfunction()
Any ideas?.

How do I convert from AVI or FLV to SWF file?

First, I'm a complete Flash novice...this is the first time
I've dealt with any FLV or SWF files. So, please forgive my
ignorance on these topics. I have several small AVI files and have
successfully converted them to FLV format via Premiere Pro CS3 and
Adobe Media Encoder. But the client is also asking for SWF files of
the same videos. I've looked and looked for a way to save SWF
files. I tried pulling the video into Flash CS3, and saving as SWF,
but since I know nothing about using Flash, I don't seem to be
doing it correctly...seems like I'm getting just a single blank
frame. I've looked at the dozens of third party programs that claim
to be able to convert FLV to SWF, but the one I downloaded "Free
Video to Flash Converter" generated an SWF file that doesn't seem
to be playable anywhere. If there is a click-by-click method for
using Flash to perform the conversion, I'd be ever so grateful.
Again, please forgive my Flash-ignorance. Thanks for your help.

Why doesn't Flash have a built-in capability to convert FLV
to SWF? It's an obvious need and there are 3rd party programs of
varying quality that do it. Why should people who have already
purchased Flash need to look for something that handles this OK and
then install it on their machines?

Converting a layer on the main timeline into a movieclip

I'm not really sure how to properly describe this so please
bear with me.
Say you create an animated action on your main timeline with
a symbol. Then you decide you want to take that action and put it
into a movie clip so that it migrates across the screen. Since it
is already on your main timeline, how do you take that layer, and
convert it into a movie clip?
I hope I've described this clearly enough.

Select all the frames on the layer, right-click on them and
select copy frames. Create a new symbol. Right-click on the first
frame of this new movieclip and select paste frames. Go back to the
main timeline and delete the layer.

Missing frames in smart object converted video layer?

I noticed that whenever i try to convert a video layer I drew on in photoshop to a smart object, when i play it back there are empty frames! And no matter what I do I cannot get it to show the frames. Now I know the frames werent empty when i first drew on the video layers, and when i import a video into photoshop and convert it to a smart object all the frames are there. So I guess it's just an error with video layers with drawings on them done in photoshop? I tried googling every possible wording of this scenario but I found NOTHING, so can someone please help me?

after using high fidelity image trace i hit expand, then i went to layers and hit the drop arrow by my thumbnail, which then shows <Group>,hit that drop arrow and it will show a list of all your paths, the very bottom one was my white background, you can click the eye or delete that path and it disappeared for me. i was using a png file with a transparent background, and nothing else worked for me, it always converted with white background, i never saw this mentioned anywhere, and accidentally discovered it, hope it works!!!
