How to bundle a .FLA and multiple .SWF files in one .EXE?

Hi,
I have a .FLA file which uses loadMovieNum() to load various
.SWF files when each one is called by the user clicking on a
button. Each .SWF file also uses loadMovieNum() to call a second
.SWF file. When I publish the .FLA file as a .SWF file it all works
beautifully.
Now I need to package the entire project into a Windows
projector .EXE file for offline use on a computer without the Flash
Player. When I publish the main .FLA file as a .EXE file, the .SWF
files still load, although they blink before fully loading and
displaying steadily.
What I would really like to do is to bundle all the .SWF
files into the .EXE file so when I send the finished project to the
end user, they only have to deal with one file, rather than a
folder with the .EXE file and multiple .SWF files.
Is there a way to do this?
I am using Flash 8 Professional.
Thanks,
Cam

Since this isn't going to be web-based, why not include all
the external swf files into the same Flash file and then use
attachMovie?
This will allow you to create one .exe file that would
contain EVERYTHING. Since you aren't worried about loading speeds,
you don't have to load the movie clips, but can simply create one
large Flash file.

Opening .fla and or .swf files

I know the newer version of Quicktime stopped opening these files a while back. I download files from the www.animationfactory.com all the time. Some are .fla and .swf (flash) files.
Can anyone tell me what application I need to get/buy to open these videos and convert them to Quicktime?
I can't seem to find a clear response in the discussion groups.
Thank you,
Shelley

QuickTime 7.3.1, and higher, has stopped allowing Flash media playback for security reasons.
Older versions only supported .swf files that were "Published" (authored) as version 5 compatible and Adobe (previously Macromedia) is now up to version 10 so these files are hard to find.
This leaves QuickTime Pro out of any conversion process.
Easiest method to "capture" these files and store them in QuickTime formats would be screen capture software (I use Snapz Pro X).
http://perian.org has a plug-in that allows conversion of .flv (YouTube style) files via QuickTime Pro.

Multiple SWF files in one website

Hi,
I am a Flash newbie!!
I am building my first website and have been advised to
create each page as a seperate SWF file instead of using seperate
scenes in the same SWF file.
Before I get too deep into this project I want to make sure
that this is the best way to do it?
Also, One I have completed all the pages I will of course
have about 10 different SWF files. Is it easy to create a Website
using these files??? If so how is this done??
thanks
Liam

IE running under XP can't handle multiple SWF files, Why?

I noticed that IE 8 running under Windows XP cannot handle multiple swf files in one page.
Up to about 10 files is no problem they are loaded and we can play them ( buttons that start a small audio file).
But more of these files in one page will stop IE.
Firefox ( 3.6.28) runs them fine.
And also IE 8 and/or Firefox under Windows 7 handles them perfectly.
Has anyone any idea what can cause this and how to resolve this?
Thanks,

Sorry...I still don't get it. What is it about Windows FUS that keeps iTunes from running running the process twice? It can run many other non-Apple windows apps in multiple user sessions (commercial apps, open source apps, audio/video apps, networked apps). I can even run two different virtual machines at the same time under two different user sessions.
Why can iTunesHelper.exe run twice but iTunes.exe cannot? Why can I run Safari at the same time? Quicktime Player runs fine under multiple user sessions.
Blaming it on Windows and/or FUS sounds like FUD. Can anyone give a valid technical reason? Semaphores? Mutexes? An admission (and explanation) that the Windows version is purposely crippled?

Joining several swf files into one swf file

hello everybody
i've been dealing this issue for too long and decided to ask for help - how can I unite 15 swf files which placed in one folder to a one swf file???
i tried all kindes of merging softwares like "Join (Merge, Combine) Multiple SWF Files Into One Software" and "WinMerge" without success and tried to convert swf to flv (cause i found other merging software for flv files) but again...
I have CS5 so if i'll have to open Flash for this i will, though i'm trying to avoid that and even then i'm gonna need full instructions.
All i need is this simple thing so i'll appreciate very much any help
Thanks & Good Day

Hi Ned
Again - thank you very much.
I've got the source files and i'm on the run now.. kind of..
I did as you recomצended and used a code from one of the AS3 UILoader tutorials , and it seems to work:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import fl.containers.UILoader;
var myLoad1 = "fastflipPage.swf";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(myLoad1);
loader.scaleContent = false;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
loader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
loader.load(request);
loader.load(request);
function progressHandler (event:ProgressEvent):void
status_txt.text = "Percentage Loaded" +
Math.round(event.target.percentLoaded);
function completeHandler (event:Event):void
status_txt.text = "Loaded Done";
So... i'm tring to find some answers to my next step : in the code above im loading only one file and i need to load 30 files so they could play one after another. i noticed that i can create many uiloader instances and load several external SWFs in the same scene without writing a script to each one of them... is that right? and if so, how can i do that???
I'm full of hope to figure this task, meantime will look for more answers
Thanks in advance

Need Preloader for Multiple SWF files

SORRY FOR THE DUPE POST, THE OTHER CAN BE DELETED. MY ADOBE
ID PROFILES WERE MESSED UP.
Hi forums, I'm new to Flash. I did the following:
1. Created a complex home page, about 3.5MB in size, due to a
large graphic I had to use many times over and couldn't make into a
symbol (long story). It's called INDEX.SWF, with accompanying
INDEX.HTML file from Flash
2. Split pieces of the INDEX.SWF file into multiple SWF files
to make it load faster
3. Created multiple layers in INDEX.SWF using loadMovieNum to
call to multiple SWF files from step 2
This works OK, but I think a preloader would optimize my page
animation. However:
1. I don't understand how a preloader file gets recognized on
the site load. If I create a file called PRELOADER.FLA and publish
it, how does the site know to use it first? Does it need a special
name?
2. Once I understand #1 above, I might be able to use some
sample preloader files I've found. It seems like all I have to do
is change the actionscript to point to my main file, but not sure
yet. I'll get to that next once I understand how the file even gets
recognized and loaded. Thanks for your help!

Creating IPA file with Multiple SWF files using ADT

Iam successfully able to create ipa files using the ADT package but my next requirement is to create an IPA file with multiple swf files.I think it might be easy if your SWF files are regular the tough part is my swf file has lot of action script in it so the only option is to through the command prompt and using the ADT package of Adobe AIR.So now i have 10 SWF files like this and iam creating ipa file for each swf seperatly but now I want to put all of the swf files into one ipa file.Please let me know if i was not clear in my description

I think you are trying to explain how to load two swf's one with action
script and loading an other swf file which should be non action script.If
you read my requirement carefully.I have all the same type of swf's and
these swf are automatically created as a form of output for xcelsius dash
board software.Iam capable of creating individialu ipa files from these swf
files.So when I try to combine the same kind of swf files the first error
its giving is the file name which I have used in the xml.in the main file
name for the swf file its not considering the two swf file name in the
initial window.so the adt package in the command line is not understanding
the file name from the xml and the command prompt and giving error this swf
file does not exist.So please consider how to combine two swf files with AS3
into one ipa file.These swf files are not editable,Let me know if you find
any idea to achieve this

Adding multiple swf files to Dreamweaver

I'm trying to upload multiple .swf files to my website with
no luck. I've done this with previous versions of Dreamweaver but
with CS3 I'm finding it won't happen. I've done the Insert ->
Media -> Flash action as before and exported my files to be read
in Adobe Player 8 but nothing then happens after the files have
been uploaded yet locally everything works fine. I've uploaded a
scripts file also but all of the .swf files are linked from
different folders, could this have any effect?
What am I doing wrong?

Generally making sure that the SWFs are at the remote
location where you think they are supposed to be (and where the
code thinks they are supposed to be) as well as making sure that
the active content JavaScript file(s) are uploaded and are present
where the page is expecting them to be. Beyond that, for anyone to
see what is wrong with your page(s), you have to post a link to
your page(s).

So I've got an FLV and an SWF file.... now what?

Hello. I started with a video (.mov format) and used Sorenson
Squeeze to compress/convert ... leaving me with an FLV file and an
SWF file.
Could someone please walk me through how to upload this to
the web so that I can send a client a hyperlink to watch it?

BTW, I have my own website and an FTP program ... so
hopefully, I'm not totally lost, here.
(Note: I usually do this with WMV files, but want the file to
load faster, etc., hence wanting to use Flash)
Thanks again!

How can I save a Flash or .swf file in AVI format without losing quality?

How can I save a Flash or .swf file in AVI (or another video) format without losing quality?

As long as you don't have code in your animation then just hit File->Export->Export Movie, then configure the options.
Here's an article on exporting sound, images and video. Just skip on down to exporting AVI and it explains the process. The codec is in the Video Compression section. When you click Settings for Video Compression, the codec is in the drop-down at the top. There's various kinds but to get lossless quality AVI you'll have to choose Uncompressed / None for full quality. Again, the file will be huge and you'll need to use another program (like Adobe Media Encoder) or Microsoft Windows Media Encoder, etc, depending on what format you intend to compress it ultimately.

I am not aware of a way except for photos that allows you to select multiple files in an email. I even checked settings in the Adobe Reader app, and it does not show that ability.
