Title for Flash movie (Swf file)

Hi
I want to add any title for my flash movie, As we can add any
title in HTML page with "title tag".
Usually the file name of flash file show as title like
"abc.swf"
but i want here another title like " Welcome to my xyz"
anything else....
Can anybody help me getting its solution....

Wishing to do the same thing, I've explored this with Macromedia. It appears to be a licensing problem for the Flash 5 engine. Macromedia wants a commitment of several thousand dollars (like close to 6 figures) to license the engine for an application. That's for a single applicaiton, and not a generic toolkit like JMF. I assume Sun found the same thing and balked, understandably.

How to detect end of flash movie (SWF file) in Javascript

I have used Dreamweaver CS4 to integrate my SWF file as shown
below. So far so good. See GoToNext()
my website
What I wouldd like to do is have the SWF movie trigger a
javascript function in my html page when the video is stopped
playing (i.e. when it is finished) There are no controlls in that
SWF file - it is basically am add banner. I would think this would
be easiest done by rasinng an event in SWF that is communicated to
javascript, where I can add an event listener, and thus trigger my
function.
How can this be done in the simplest way?
<div id="bodyFlash"
class="clearfloat"><p> </p>

Playing Flash Movie .swf files in iWeb

This is my second post. The first was about generally not being able to publish my website in iWeb in Argentina. Discovered it was due to the 12 kilobytes a second upload speed!
This query is about trying to get a flash movie with .swf extension to play on my homepage in iWeb
www.edgold.co.uk
Ive made a flash movie on my girlfriends PC. Why? Because she has Flash installed.
Ive transferred it to my Mac and it plays with a programme I downloaded called SWF & FLV Player - no problem there. For the love of trying I cant get it to play.
Ive gone to 'Insert' in iWeb, clicked on Choose and selected the swf file. Ive put it in position on my homepage and published it. Then Ive opened the HTML page thats found in iDisk using TextEdit so that I can change the html to get the flash plug in to play it.
I found all the details on website by 'Vertical Moon'
http://www.verticalmoon.com/tutorials/general/iweb/iweb.htm
Ive followed every step to the letter but where they seem to slip up is that the swf file isnt played by QuickTime. QuickTime on my Mac doesnt want to know! If it was played by QT then I'd have a chance to change the html from 'writeMovie1()' to writeflash1() but there is no sign of that code in the html file let alone having to change it in JavaScript.
At the end of the day Ive got an swf file (Flash) that I want to stiuck on the front page of my website to play over and over. Ive spent over 18 hours on this non-stop and its time I called it a day.
Please can someone tell me how to get iWeb to make friends with it!
Ive looked at lost of other sites about free Video code generating but none of them work!
Cheers
Ed
(Im in Patagonia - documentary photographer...sorting a good site helps me secure sponsorship and future exhibition venues. Your help is appreciated!

Thanks for replying and the great info on getting a QuickTime to play automatically.
Please can you continue to help as Im having no luck.
I will write below briefly whats happening.
I made a QuickTime in iPhoto as was suggested. I dropped it into iWebs 'Media' button under the 'Movies' tab, in a folder. I then dropped the QT file onto my web home page. It shows with a control bar at the bottom of its window for playing it.
I published it OK. The live website shows the QuickTime movie BUT you have to click play to start it. So I then I opened the html file in iDisk in TextEdit.
I tried and tried to find the html code for the QT Movie. I read and re-read the whole html file from top to bottom and found no sign of the QT Movie. Then I went to 'Edit' and 'Find' in TextEdit and typed Movie. It came up with a bit of code which says writeMovie1();
I guess that this means it is talking about THE movie in question but there is no more code to
do with 'true' or 'false'. If it said false Id change to true but writeMovie1(); just looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
stuck almost at the bottom of the html file page.
Please help...remember Im using iWeb 06
Thanks...I hope Im close to solving this now. All I want is to play the QT automatically.

Right click on flash movie / SWF file

Why we get flash default menu when i right click on a flash
movie?.
When i enable video bookmark (videomark). user is suppose to
right click on flash movie and select videomark.
is the flash default menu is customizable?. Please let me
know.

Here is a sample script to customize the right-click menu.
Put it in frame 1 of your movie.
var myContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
myContextMenu.hideBuiltInItems();
var thisTitle:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("My
prison movie", bla);
var thisCredit:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("created
by Paris Hilton", bla, separatorBefore=true);
var thisCopyright:ContextMenuItem = new
ContextMenuItem("© My Intelligence Is Ltd.", bla);
myContextMenu.customItems.push(thisTitle);
myContextMenu.customItems.push(thisCredit);
myContextMenu.customItems.push(thisCopyright);
function bla() {
//insert your function here
this.menu = myContextMenu;
The function can be anything: getURL, load a movie clip, turn
sound on/off, etc. You can add as many ContextMenuItems as you
want. Each one can have a separate function assigned. It seems that
some sort of function is required by the class, so I use an empty
function like in this example if I want nothing to happen when the
user clicks the menu item.

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.

Any fix for not playing swf files?

Hello
Having trouble getting FF to play my Flash 8 swf files on
this page
http://www.enhancedwireless.net/indexrdm.html
There should be a small logo animated for about 3 sec in the
upper left of this page, but instead I get nothing on my MAC OS
10.3.9. and any of my friends using PC and MAC get nothing as well.
Safari plays this fine...Also there are 7 or 8 banners on
this page 4 of which are swf files, and these are scripted to play
randomly on every refresh of this page, however they do not appear
at all on FF/netscape on mac or PC...some machines get nothing,
some get a big Quicktime logo in the middle of where the swf banner
should play. All my swf files need Flash player 8 or higher to
work. IE 6 has problems but IE 7 seems to play these OK.
So, how to fix this?
Thanks

You may have already tried this yet have you tried exporting
your file using a lower flash player? No guarantees but its always
worth a try

Export for flash-movie file conversion.

I want to prepare files for the highest quality possible for conversion to flash-movie files. I recorded in HDV- edited in HDV- send to Color in HDV- and now my question is if I should send it to FCP from Color in 10 bit-uncompressed to keep the highest quality?
Also at the end exporting from FCP- should I change my sequence settings? Again I need the very highest quality for later conversion to a flash-movie file, and was told that uncompressed is the way to go??
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks- Adam.

"Keeping" the quality isn't really the issue-- if you're working in HDV, there's nothing to gain by going to Uncompressed, because you weren't working in Uncompressed in the first place. The exception to this is color grading and graphics: ideally, you would be working in a higher quality sequence such as ProRes (Uncompressed is probably overkill) in both FCP and Color.
Of course, I can't honestly say that any of this will make a difference in a Flash movie-- Flash is for web delivery, and to bring it down to a bitrate suitable for the web, you'll likely lose anything you might have gained from this process.

Tools to create a Flash 7 SWF file from Powerpoint for deployment to 4305G?

Hi there,
We are using
4305G DMPs running firmware 5.2.1
DMM 5.2.2
We have an internal customer who wishes to find a tool to create Flash 7 (or Cisco DMS compatible Flash SWF) files from Powerpoint to deploy to the DMPs. The customer is currently using a tool called iSpring to create Flash SWF files out of Powerpoint files, but this will not display through the DMPs running 5.2.1 firmware.
http://www.ispringsolutions.com/ispring_presenter_pro_now_ispring_pro.html
What other options are available?
The underlying business need is to reduce the time it takes to create presentations for deployment to the Digital Media Players.
Any advice much appreciated,
Regards,
Kathy

Not sure if this helps but I use Camtasia's powerpoint plugin to convert presentations that have animation into video files in either swf/flv or wmv format. For standalone powerpoint presentations that do not include animations I simply use a program called PPTools which allows me to export high quality images from my presentations without losing any quality.

Playback buttons for flash movie

Hello, im having some difficulty adding a play, pause and
stop button to a movie I imported into flash.
The movie was imported using the import wizard in flash 8. I
did not add a skin because when I tried adding it , the skin would
not show through once I imported the finished swf file in
Trainersoft. ONly the movie would come through. So, then I decided
to add my own playback buttons to the movie. I imported the movie
again using the import wizard, i did not select a skin. The movie
was imported fine into flash. I added a play, pause and stop
buttons as new symbols each in their own layer. I added the correct
action scripting to the buttons, i preview movie and the buttons
appear correctly but nothing happens when I click each of the
buttons, the movie keeps playing without reacting to me clicking on
either the pause or stop button, or the play button.
Here is thte scripting im using.
For Play: on (release) {
myButton.onrelease = function() {
trace("onrelease called");
on (release) {
play();
For Pause:
on (release) {
myButton.onrelease = function() {
trace("onrelease called");
on (release) {
stop();
For Stop
on (release) {
" Movie".gotoAndStop (1) ;
I would love to hear from someone to help me out. Thank
you!!

First, create your play button. Click on it, and open up the
Properties Panel (Shift + F3). Type in:
play_btn for the <Instance Name>.
Then, create a new Layer in your Flash file, called Actions.
Click on the first frame of the Actions layer, and open up the
Actions panel (F9).
Type in:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function(){
play();
}

Cant play flash movies (swf)

For some reason Flash movies wont play on my G5 using the
Flash Player application... they just come up blank... I can play
flash in a web browser froma remote site but not from my nachine...
I think I have all the necessary software thats needed...
any ideas??
thanks
DF

damir: are you talking about the standalone player? if so, in
order to view online content from the player, you need to include
the very specific URL that leads to the swf file. so
http://www.mydomain.com will not
work but
http://www.mydomain.com/flashcontent.swf
will work (of course you need an active internet connection as
well).
also, make sure you have the latest version of the player,
because some older versions may not play the latest content
correctly. not sure where you can download the latest standalone
player, but do a search on the adobe site for "standalone flash
player for mac" or something...

Finding flash movies (swf?) in cache

Dear all,
Is it possible to find flash movies that you have viewed in the cache (or anywhere else for that matter?).
Furthermore, is it possible to move them to a place where one can view them when offline?
Cheers
George

Go to Window > Activity and see if you see the swf file. You can option-double click on it to save it to disk.

Flash movie (.swf) getting clipped

Hi,
At the website www.coastlifechurch.com there is a Flash movie
on the front
page (top left of the eight squares). I made the basics of
the Flash movie,
then emailed it to my client to put new pictures in. He
assures me that he
left the movie at 200px x 200px. When it is inserted into the
page (he has
done via DreamWeaver), the bottom right gets clipped by one
or two pixels.
Even when I tested the movie setting the parameters to 150
px, the movie
still gets clipped. When I view the movie directly in
FireFox, it shows the
border all around the movie just as it should. (see
www.coastlifechurch.com/flash/Get-to-know-us.swf)
Can anyone help me work this out?
Thanks,
Bruce

How can I save a flash or swf file to flv file?

I've created a flash banner and I need to send it by email as a flv file. Does any one knows how to convert from swf or fla files to flv?
Thanks

Only accept FLVs at 40 KB? Yikes... Well, I'll say this, I never work on ads or banners, etc., so I don't have to deal with such stringent file size parameters. But, when it comes to video, you only have one option to reduce the file size: Compress compress compress.
You have to choose a very low bit rate (aka data rate) for your FLV video file when you compress the MOV file. And, likely, it's going to make it look pretty crumby... You're going to have to set your data rate down tot he absolute lowest setting.
Data rate is measure in kbps (kilobits per second), such as 700 kbps (a current, typical data rate for video that is suitable for broadband Internet speeds).
As an aside, I find it pretty odd that they require a video file, versus a simple, small Flash SWF animation (that's more to do with my banner ad / bandwidth limits un-awareness than anythings, though). It makes your job a little harder and adds seemingly unnecessary steps... They really require that ALL banner animations be video, and not Flash SWF animations? Be sure you know 100% what their specs are, AND also ask to see other banner ad examples so you can see proof that other animations have been given tot hem with the same spec. I just can't belive that a video file is going to be < 40KB...
Get more familiar with using the Adobe Media Encoder. If you're not that confortable using it, just search online for tutorials about it, which will be easy to find.
See the attached image. I did a 60 frame (30 fps, total runtime of 2 seconds only) SWF animation of a box animated from the upper-left to the lower right, stage size of 300x200 (per your spec). Simple, basic, nothing crazy. From Flash, I exported the MOV file, and brought this into Adobe Media Encoder CS5. Setting the format of the new video to FLV, and setting the data rate to 5 (crazy low setting). The file size came down to ~ 110 KB.
Good luck!
