Export SWF

Doing this hopefully to help others. Problem: I have 29 avi
segments that I need to convert to 29 flash video segments. I
thought I would be smart and open one fla file, and use the
ContentPath parameter to import each video segment then export as a
flash video. Here is the problem. When you do that (use ContentPath
parameter) Flash maps the path to my hardrive (an absolute path vs.
relative path). Then I exported out all 29 avi's as flash video
segments. Then uploaded them on my server for the client to check.
Well they all played on my machine, but not the clients. After 2
days here is the question and solutions. As I said, hopefully it
will help others.
Does anyone know a fast way to batch convert 29 FLV's into 29
SWF's with the appropriate nave (play/seek/mute/) elements?

Tim,
I've been suffering the #2148 whilst my SWF tries to gather data from the XML (originated by XLS).
I already experienced that by changing the Adobe Flash Player security settings by enabling the access to the SWF directory everything works fine.
The issue is that I would like to avoid a massive change of these security setting across all the clients belonging to the network.
Hope that somebody might help.
Thks,
Luca

Exported swf formatting differs from preview mode

When I view a model in preview mode, everything looks fine with the formatting. However, after exporting the file (or viewing the export preview), some of the formatting is incorrect - such as axes labels and titles being truncated or moved from their original position, as well as grid sizes changing so that what I have aligned no longer is aligned.
I can make formatting adjustments in the model so that it appears more properly in the exported swf file, basically correcting for these differences. However, this is obviously not ideal, and I have not been able to identify any patterns in these discrepancies (sometimes it looks fine, other time not). I appreciate any suggestions!

Hi,
I am facing the same issue too. The whole formatting goes off once exported to ppt. The fonts reduce to such an extent that I cannot see the fonts. If I drag the swf component to full screen in ppt, the labels, come over the axes.
Please let me know how to correct it.

How to export swf file in different versions of flash like (6,7,8,9) ?

Hi,
    System Specification :
    -XP with SP3
    -MS Office 2003
    -Flash V.10
    -Xcelsius Engage 2008 ( 5.3.0.0 )
    -Xcelsius Build number 12,3,0,670
   When I export output in swf format then xcelsius generating swf file of version 9. I want to export swf file in different versions of flash like (6,7,8,9) . I tried to install older versions of flash to do this but I am not able to open xcelsius in older version. I am getting error saying 'Install latest flash player'.
Is there any way to export swf files in different versions?
Is this build is compatible with only flash 10?
Thanks,
Ganesh

Xcelsius only support Flash version from 9 on. There is no way to export to 6,7 or 8.

How to set a loop on an .flv so that an exported .swf loops?

hi there. i am using Flash CS4 and I would like to know how to set a loop in an flv file so that when it is exported to swf, the movie will loop. Basically i have taken an existing interactive flash movie and have decompiled it into its individual flv counterparts. what i intend to do is take out all the nonsense from each flv file and then reconstruct the flash movie, export each file to swf and then convert each swf to avi or some other video format. to do this i will be using sothink swf to avi converter which allows you to convert swf files to avi files. this program allows you to convert swf files that loop by looping the swf file for as long as you want until you stop it, in which a video file is created from "the recording"
after i decompiled the original file, many of the existing flv files were already set to loop. i know this because when exported to swf the swf file would loop. now when i went ahead and went into each flv file to edit a couple things, when i went to export them to swf, the swf files wouldn't loop. mind you, some of them did loop, and some of them did not loop. the ones i have edited are all supposed to loop and i cannot figure out what it is thats preventing some of the flv or exported swf files to loop. all i did was take out a few unnecessary frames from the beginning of each flv and nothing more. i am pretty new to Flash and do not know anything about coding and know very little about flash settings.
i figured that selecting the "loop playback" option in the control drop down menu might help seeing as the flv file does loop when played in the editor, but again when exported to swf the swf file does not loop. what confuses me the most is that some of the exported swf files do loop. ALL of the exported swf files need to loop and my guess is that in order to make that happen, something in the flv file needs to be set correctly.
can someone please assist me with this issue? if there is a way to simply loop an existing swf file that does not loop, can someone tell me how to do that? any help with this problem is greatly appreciated and i appologize if something like this has been asked before.... i just couldnt stand looking through 22 pages of search results to find the exact solution to my problem
thank you!!!

Hi,
You can use shortDesc property. Something like
<af:commandToolbarButton text="Some Button"

Why does my exported swf show more content than actually on frame?

Why does my exported .swf show more content than actually on frame?
My problem is relatively simple, though, I had some trouble finding a solution to it:
When I play my exported animation using flash player in Google Chrome, if the window is bigger than the resolution flash document/frame, it shows content not meant to show up on the frame -- like parts of a huge background that aren't supposed to show up yet.
In other words, how do I constraint the .swf to the white background/document resolution?

Anyone? I'd appreciate it if someone replied soon -- I am done with my project once this issue is resolved, and I am excited to publish it.
Please respond if you have any useful knowledge on the matter!
Thanks!

Export SWF from AE CS6

I used to be able to export SWF files directly from AE CS3. But am having difficulty performing that same task in CS6. Under FILE/EXPORT there is an option to choose "Adobe Flash Player (SWF)". However, when I output the file it appears to start rendering, then almost immediately the render window dissapears. I don't receive any kind of error message at all. It simply creates an SWF file with no content in it. Does anyone have an idea what the issue might be?

Is there an replacement to exporting .swf in After Effects CC?

Is there an replacement to exporting .swf in After Effects CC? I created an animation I am using for a app prototype in InDesign. It worked great last year, on another project, but now all I see are Quicktime and other video formats which isn't really the same thing. I need a file that will work with InDesign that can export into HTML. I could make an interactive PDF which will play quicktime but thats not as cool. Any alternatives? Anyway to get After Effects into HTML, short of using Edge instead?

I think I answered my own question. H.264 Video via Media Encoder. Any other comments on best practices welcome.

What Frame Rate does Catalyst export .SWF at?

What Frame Rate does Catalyst export .SWF at?
When I import a SWF file from Catalyst into another flash program, won't display never mind play, the error I get is that the frame rates don't match,
therefore I need to know what frame rate it exports at?

If you have a SWF created by Catalyst, and you're using that SWF in something you're creating with Flash Builder or Flash Pro, then I think frame rate shouldn't matter. But maybe if you can give more details I could help more... Which flash program are you importing the SWF into, what commands or code are you using to do the import? Is there an error message or alert, if so what does it say? Any info you can provide will be helpful.
Thanks

How to click button in exported SWF to go to frame in parent SWF?

I looked online, but couldn't find anything helpful.   I got these codes on the web, but they're not working.... (I'm pretty new to flash).
projectgallery.swf - PARENT SWF
projectgallery_cutLimestone.swf - EXPORT SWF
returnToAlbums_btn_inst - instance of a button on the export swf that I want to be able to click to go to a different frame in the parent SWF
Here are my codes:
on the parent SWF:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("projectgallery_cutlimestone.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
function loadHandler (event:Event) {
          var projectgallery_cutlimestone:MovieClip = event.target.content;
          addChild(myLoader);
          trace(projectgallery_cutlimestone);
          function returnToAlbums (event:MouseEvent):void {
                    projectgallery_cutlimestone.returnToAlbums_btn_inst.play();
          projectgallery_cutlimestone.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, returnToAlbums);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadHandler);
When I try it, the SWF loads fine, but when it loads, this OUTPUT error appears:
[object Main]
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
          at Main/frame2()
          at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()
          at Main/preload1()
then, when I try to click the button returnToAlbums_btn_inst, this OUTPUT error appears:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property play not found on flash.display.SimpleButton and there is no default value.
          at Function/<anonymous>()
I'm really new to flash, so I don't know why it's not working. The instance is labeled (I double-checked).

Adding a SWC to a exported swf via a CS Extension

Hi,
I'm building a extension for Flash, and I'd like to be able add a swc file to a exported swf, that is generated through my Extension. I know that in the Flash JS extension language you can export a swf using:
fl.getDocumentDOM().exportSWF("", true);
As part of the export process can I add a SWC file, that contains code my CS extension needs to inject into the generated swf file. I did think that I could use:
document.externalLibraryPath
To point to a SWC file that is added to the published swf.
What I want to do is add meta data to the Flash file that can be accessed externally at runtime, so I mark areas of the SWF that are updated dynamically at runtime.
Are these ideas possible?
Thanks
Stephen

That's not a possibility in this beta, however you might find this plug-in useful: http://www.photographers-toolbox.com/products/lrmogrify2.php It'll allow you to set the size in pixels using the export dialog and add borders of your choice.

Exported SWFs have reduced detail

Hi there,
We are having an issue with Flash Pro CC - one of several now - in that when we export out our SWFs for compositing, they do not have the same quality - so smoothlines are replaced by jagged lines, beautiflu curves are replaced by hard edges.
When we export to PNGs or JPEGS everything is fine, but in our pipeline we need to use SWFs.
Does anyone have the same issue and if so do they have a fix for these exported SWFs?
Thank you

I mentioned that we do this already in After Effects.
The issue is not with AE, it's with the SWFs themselves when they run in Flash Player at full quality.
The smoothed fills look jagged.
I want to know if there is some kind of quality filter in Flash for exporting out the SWFs as at the moment it appears to be broken - I am assuming this is due to the constant inundation of X.x.x releases of CC rather than a solid point release with less bugs and more fixes.

Having problems when exporting .swf file as an animated gif

Hi:
I was wondering if anyone has ever had any issues exporting a
flash file as an animated gif? When I do so, the image quality is
very compromised and the animation is distorted. I know this is not
very specific question, but I have never encountered this issue
before, and I am trying to help a co-worker. I don't understand why
it looks exactly the way we want it to look as an swf file, but not
as an animated gif? Can anyone point me in the right direction as
to what to look for as the potential source of this problem? I have
the swf file, although this would not be very helpful as I don't
have access to the flash file (but I can send it to you if that
would help). We tried unchecking the feature to optimize the image,
and changed the color pallete to adaptive, but this didn't solve
the problem. I also tried removing any unnecessary layers prior to
the export. Basically, I'm not sure as to how to proceed and what
may be causing the problem. I also want to mention there is a
placed image on the stage. Could the type of image placed be
causing the problem when exporting to a gif file, but not as a
.swf? If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it! Thanks.
Sara

I also wanted to mention that the swf file uses sound. I am
reading an old book that I have on Flash and it's saying that Flash
and Shockwave Flash enter a special mode when they encounter a
stream sound in which the animation is forced to keep up with the
sound track, if the animation frames can not be drawn quickly
enough, some frames are skipped. I am also reading that the
animated gif format does not support sound. Again, the only
reference I have is for a very old version of flash, and I'm not
sure it applies to CS3. I am now just thinking that the sound may
be the issue.

Exporting swf as a single file in Captivate v3

I need to be able to Publish a Captivate v3 project so that I
can add it to a website using Adobe Contribute in a form that is
viewable on a PC or Mac.
At the moment the Publish option is creating a folder with
four files - the swf recording, the swf skin, the html and the
javascript.
But Adobe Contribute will only let you link to one media file
- so I can either add the swf recording (with no playback controls)
or the skin (with no recording!)
Am I doing something wrong? Or can anyone suggest a work
around? Should I be able to export or publish as a Quicktime file?
Many thanks!
Vic

Welcome to our community, Vic
Try this. Click Project > Skin... > Borders tab and
DE-select the "Show border" check box. Publish again and you should
now find three files. This is because Captivate combines the
_skin.SWF with the main part of the movie.
Of course, the side effect is that the playback controls now
cover the bottom part of the movie and may obscure some action you
intended the user to see.
Cheers... Rick

How can I export swf that calls a flv to avi?

I have a Flash movie that uses Actionscript 2.0 to trigger animations. The swf and flv files are separate though - the flv is called by the swf. There are cues in the flv that fire Actionscript events. How can I get the whole thing to export? I can convert the flv to an avi but I need the animations. Thanks for any help.

There is no method available in Flash Professional to convert SWF to AVI. You have to look for external applications which does the job for you. Check this site.

Unable to export SWF, if I've used PSD layers

I am having trouble exporting an SWF directly from AE6 (It works in CS3 and CS5). Even if I set the render to "rasterize", the SWF will only render up to the point that a Photoshop layer is introduced in the composition. I do not receive any error messages...but the render process immediately stops when it reaches a layer in the composition that utilizes a Photoshop layer. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening? Or any suggestions of things I can try to solve this issue?

Everything is RGB. I've tried PSD CS5 and CS6. Nothing fancy with the layers...no layer effects,etc.
I even went so far as to create a new PSD file (with only one layer) and a new composition on AE. Still no luck. Get this, however. I was trying anything I could think of.... and determined that if I simply "turn on" the 3D toggle on any one of the layers, that it renders just fine. I have no idea why that would make a differenece, but it did.
