Flash file optimization

i'm thinking of buying flash optimizer and would like to know
if anyone here has used it- either a good experience or bad.
i've heard it's only useful for compressing shapes and not
sound or other sthings, but since i'll be using it for hand-drawn
animation i think it'll be useful.
if you've used it at all, please just let me know if you rate
it. thanks

Get a trial version and see
It may be useful for you .. it really depends on your content
(note you can reduce file size by drawing vector shapes
smaller and scaling
to full size .. that's effectively what it does)

  • Background image blew my flash file

    Hi Guys,
         hope someone could help me this time, i just have this question about my background image blowing up the size of my swf file. i have a 1000x600 canvas which has the same bg image, and when i publish it, my swf file has a size of 468kb, but when i remove the background image the file was reduced to 57kb.. the image was a png-24 326kb image, and its not the file in my flash that has this file size. just wondering wut happened that it gives that huge adjustment to the file?

    Recommendations:
    1) I believe the setInterval activity is what ends up breaking things.  Get rid of all the setInterval and clearInterval elements.  Just use setTimeout instead, which you won't have to worry about clearing.
    2) The file performance is likely suffering due to the size of the images versus the portions of them that actually get used.  Create/crop the images outside of Flash to the size they will be in the Flash file, optimize them, and then import them.  Also, if you combine all the elements that you animate at once together into one symbol (the text, background, and button), and animate that symbol instead of the different pieces separately, things will probably animate more smoothly as well.

  • Error while using Image component to display a child flash file

    Hi
    I'm using Xcelsius version 4.5. I used the "Image Component" to import a child flash file(.swf) into the parent flash file.
    I gave the path "D:\246024\Loblaw\Dashboard Docs\New Folder\trend input.swf" in the general tab of the image component.
    After exporting the .xlf into a flash file , it works fine in the system in which i created it. If i open the same flash file in any other system the parent file opens but the child flash file imported through the image component is not displayed.
    Please help me out in solving this issue
    Thanks
    Anitha

    yes, you will face the same problem as its still looking for the path of the swf.
    you need to have the SWF on specific location which is accessable by the Parent SWF
    usually web page or something which is accessable for all.
    good luck

  • Creation of flash file from Device Central failing

    Hi,
    I'm currently trying to create a new flash document from Device Central and the application is throwing the following error:
    Cannot create new document. The xfl template document is either missing or corrupted.
    I am also unable to test my flash files in Device Central via Test Movie.
    This function was working fine until a couple of days ago.
    Has anyone had any similar issues? I am running Master Collection CS5.5 for Mac.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    For anyone who has this problem in the future, I have managed to get it working again by doing a complete reinstall of Master Collection.

    In Flash. There is no way to apply an HTML link to a swf

  • How do I use text to open two different flash files?

    Basically I want to use a flash file, which requires you to enter text and a button to click. If I typed in 'Movie 1' and clicked enter, it should take me to 'Animation 1.swf', if I typed in 'Animation 2' it should take me to 'Animation 2.swf'.
    I don't have the time to relearn flash completely even though I want to, I haven't used flash in about 3 years and really struggling to remember anything, hate being a novice
    Thank you so much

    Hi ,
    As Ned suggested you could use something like this -
    function startLoadingSwf()
    var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(<name of the swf which you are picking up from the text field - text_field.txt>);
    mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);
    mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressHandler);
    mLoader.load(mRequest);
    function onCompleteHandler(loadEvent:Event)
            addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
    function onProgressHandler(mProgress:ProgressEvent)
    var percent:Number = mProgress.bytesLoaded/mProgress.bytesTotal;
    trace(percent);
    startLoadingSwf();
    Hope that helps!

  • Problem with Flash file in IE

    Hello Everyone,
    I have a strange problem and I'm not sure exactly what it is.
    I have a 1.5 Joomla site with this module in it
    <object height="20" width="1035">
    <param name="movie" value="LEDDisplayTicker-1040.swf" />
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    <param value="high" name="quality" />  <embed height="20" width="1035" wmode="transparent" src="LEDDisplayTicker-1040.swf"></embed>  </object>
    The site works fine in Chrome, FireFox and Safari but when it is viewed with IE I get an error and the page closes ( you have to surf through a few pages).
    I know it is the above module because if I turn it off, the site works fine in IE.
    The flash file imports and displays info from an XML file and the XML file reads from google finance.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Todd

    Do the flash communicate with files which is outside of the sitedomain?

  • How to use as3 in flash cs3 to add dynamic text from a text file into a flash file

    let me start out by saying today is my first day of scripting
    in flash.
    I have a text file text.txt
    it contains
    text1=hello world
    can someone please show me how to display this text in a
    flash file
    i have been searching for this for hours and there are
    solutions with flash mx and actionscript 2.0 but i would like to
    see how to do this in as3.
    just a simple frame that loads that file and displays it when
    you test run the program
    much apreciated
    RC

    I'm not up on AS3 yet, but many things are still similar. You
    need to use the LoadVars class to accomplish this, You can find
    information this in Flahs Help>Actionscript>Actionscript
    Language Reference>Actionscript classes.
    rem: the text.txt file and the text.fla file must be in the
    same directory.
    The code will look something like this:

  • How to Edit a flash file

    Hi all,
    I have a flash file, which I took from my website and want to
    modify some of the contents and links in the flash file. I
    installed "Macromedia Flash 8" and open the flash file; after
    opening all I can see in the menu bar of my flash is "File, View,
    Debug and Control" and could not find any control or tool to edit
    the file and surprisingly rest of the other macromedia toolbar
    icons are disabled. I need to know from where to start - How to
    modify my flash file.
    Your help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    My Friend
    I think you need to check out some of the books, online
    tutorials, course etc pertaining to Flash. Build up your knowledge
    a little at a time and you will surprise yourself at what you can
    achieve, you would also probaby build your own web apps and not
    rely on templates.

  • Text field is not working at first time after loading the flash files

    Hi to all,

    Have you tried testing on a server?
    When you test in Flash, see if you get traces when you click these buttons.

  • Help required in embedding flash file object into Crystal Report file.

    Hello,
          I use the default version of Crystal Report (i.e.'Crystal Report Basic For Visual Studio 2008 - version 10.5' ) which is the part of 'Visual Studio 2008', to create and display the Report. Further, as a requirement, I have to show 'Event Video' into the Report. But, as this default version of Crystal Report does not support Flash File, I uninstalled it and downloaded and installed the 30 days trial version of the Crystal Report (i.e. Crystal Report 2008 - version 12.0).
          Then, I created a new Crystal Report File using 'Crystal Report 2008 Designer', embedded the video as a Flash File(i.e. SWF file) into it. Now,  when I add this newly created Crystal Report File into my sample application, which is created using VS 2008, it does not shows the embedded video.
          So, can anybody please tell me, how can I embed the Flash File into Crystal Report, so that it will be visible in the sample application?
    I would like to appreciate your help and support.
    Thanks,
    -Yogesh.

  • Need Help To Extract Logo from Flash File .swf

    I have an attached Flash file that is in
    .swf format. There is a N64 logo within this file that I'm
    trying to extract as a
    .png with a transparent background. I've been able to open
    it in a program called
    Flash Decompiler Trillix and in the sub-menus it has the
    logo listed as a frame.
    This is about as far as I have gotten and I'm stuck. Perhaps
    someone else knows how to do this a little easier. I just need to
    find a way to extra the logo that already has a transparent
    background and save it in
    .png format.
    Any help here would be hot." ;)
    Logo Flash
    File .swf

    Hello,
    I ran into a similar problem a few months ago. I have the
    Sothink Flash Decompiler and what I did was turn the SWF back into
    a FLA. I then opened it in Flash and then exported what I wanted as
    a PNG image.
    Decompilers can extract the actual image whether it be jpeg,
    gif, png, etc. But when it's listed as a frame(as you mentioned
    above) then the method above is probably the best way to get it.
    Good luck
