Aargh! How do I convert to .swf?

We have a client that wants to post some stuff on line. First they wanted .wmv, then decided that wouldn't work. Ditto with QT and Flash versions. Now they are asking for .swf versions, by the end of the day of course. I'm stumped as to how to do this. I have Adobe Flash 3 on my machine, but know nothing about it. I have the On2 VP6 and Sorenson codecs loaded and can create Flash movies. But not .swf as far as I know.
I also have an engineer who doesn't want any new software on the machine till it's been heavily researched, I agree with him but doesn't help my deadline.
Any ideas?
Also, in my research so far it seems like .swf is mostly geared toward vector based animation, will it work for video and look OK?
Thanks

Sorenson Squeeze allows you to embed player controls when you encode a swf file. And you can reference an flv file from an swf file. It's not at all intuitive so your mileage may vary. As I said in an earlier post, I spent a horrible weekend encoding and reencoding a piece before I finally found some documentation telling me there was a limit to the number of frames in an swf file. I couldn't figure out why my encodes which were taking at least an hour each were ending on a freeze frame 10 minutes into the piece. Somebody told me this was changed in later versions of flash. Finding a someone who has extensive experience with flash would be very valuable.
There are some flash players available out there. You might try versiontracker. I think your web designer can embed the flv file in a web page that includes some controls. Not really sure about alot of this, but worth some investigation.

How do you convert a SWF to JPEG?

We have 10,000 SWFs (and their FLAs), but need to create a
JPEG of each SWF to see a thumbnail of them in a DAM.
Aside from the very manual method (make screenshot of the
SWF, resize it and convert it to a JPEG in Photoshop/Bridge) what
are my options in order to either A) automate this process OR B)
come up with another process using either the CS2 or CS3 suites?
If there is another process to do this, what would this be?
Remember, I am starting with a SWF and I want a JPEG, but I
am keeping both. I have seen plenty of information on how to embedd
JPEGs into SWFs, but I am not interested.
Anyone have any ideas on this topic?

You say you have their FLA's. The image should be in the FLA
right? The original is linked inside as well right so you should
already have the original somewhere that you could work from
instead of going through the FLA file. Now, if you added other
graphics and so forth to in the FLA and want to export that
instead, goto file/export/export image and select JPEG Image.
Not sure if you can automate this though. You might be able
to make an Applescript to do this, perhaps. Otherwise I suggest
getting some interns in there ;-)

How do you convert a swf or mp4 file into flv using creative cloud programs?

I am trying to embed a video as HTML5 with Flash fallback into my Dreamwaver site and only have the swf file of the video.
Please let me know if you have any ideas about how to convert a swf or mp4 file into flv, without loosing pixels and quality of the swf file.
Thank you!

If you have MP4 video, you can use Pickle Player which has built-in Flash fallback for Mozilla. No conversions required .

How do I convert a .swf to .flv

Hi,
I'm currently developing content for a flash e-learning
environment that requires .flv extension. I'm using Captivate 3 for
the task of creating the content, but have not found a way to
export or convert the .swf output of Captivate to make it .flv
I'm totally at a loss - can anyone help?

I'm not sure this will help, but what I know is that the FLV
format is designed for streaming or progressive download of video
from the server to the user's browser by converting it to the flv
format via an import procedure into a Flash doc. Normally I use
Flash to import a movie into a Flash file layer, add a sound layer
for, say, a background music loop, on another layer and publish it
as a swf and flv, using the Component Inspector to set the rewind
to "true" or "false".
This process creates two required files: the final swf and an
flv which calls the swf when the page opens or other event occurs
on the web page. The user experience is absent the jerky appearance
that often occurs from swf alone or movies alone.
The video component that is imported into my Flash doc as
described in my first paragraph above, can either be a .mov from
anywhere or one I create in Flash and export as an .mov
I don't know about formats other than .mov I think it depends
on your final deployment, i.e. web, dvd, whatever.
I have not used captivate, but if it will create a .mov for
you, should do it. You may have, however, other controls to build
in as well. Flash 8 and above allows you to do that in the process
of creating the .flv
Then, you must load the .flv and swf onto the server at the
same level. Or, you must make other code changes so the flv "finds"
the swf. A different path can be entered using the Component
Inspector in Flash.
Hope that helps.

How do I convert an SWF file to a MOV file with Flash 8?

I have all the files that created the SWF (this is something that was developed on my computer, not an SWF I took off the internet)

I haven't seen Flash 8 in a long time. Take a look at the export options if it was already there: Main menu -> File -> Export -> Export movie -> file extension *.mov

Open the General section of the iTunes preferences, push the Import Settings button, change the default encoder to wav, right-click those songs, and create a wav version of them.

Converting a swf to quicktime mov file

I created a swf file useing Flash and need to convert this to a mov file. I watched a training video and under Publish Settings > Format their should be a Quicktime mov option. I do not have this option on my CS5 Flash version. Also, if I try to export as a mov file, nothing happens. I have QuickTime Player version 7 on my computer. It just will not show up as an option in Flash. How do I convert a swf file to a mov file without going online and purchasing a converter?

I tried using the movie export option. A popup comes up titled "Recording Flash Content." It freezes and does not ever finish creating the file. I tried downgrading the player from Flash Player 10 to Flash Player 5. This did not work either.

Hi
Thank for your choise.
If showing only white screen, please download the lastest version, v2.03.
http://www.bullrushsoft.com/download.html
This problem occurs in Win7 sp1, especially IE has been upgraded to v10.
Our SWF to EXE Converter must need the FlashPlayer plugin for IE, it 's not a atandalone program.
So it only 880KB.
Our online converter is the adobe flash player exe, it can be embed the swf into, and standalone, so its size > 4MB.
More details, please visit http://www.bullrushsoft.com/online.html

How can I convert a mov file to swf?

how can I convert a mov file to swf?

You don't. You convert your mov file to a mp4 h264 encoded file, and import that into Flash. Then export to swf (in a folder), and you use that swf in your page (do not forget to upload all the other assets as well).
Alternatively, convert to html 5 video files which are also supported by mobile devices.
Learn more here: http://diveintohtml5.info/video.html
ps you can use the Adobe Media Encoder to convert your mov files to h264. Or to html5 video:

How-to Convert Animation (swf) to flv video clips

Hi,
Has anyone here on the forums ever created flv video out of
animations i.e. swf files.
Kind Regards,
Boxing Boom

to convert a swf file to avi or mov you need a third party
application to accomplish that, there are few of those google it.
In case you want to export a .fla animation to a video
format, just go to File -> Export -> and select the
appropriate container (avi, mov) change the output settings on the
dialog box and you're ready to go.

HI
GOOD
I NEVER FACED SUCH KIND OF ISSUES, BUT HERE I AM GIVING SOME DETAILS ABOUT SAP RDI FORMAT,I HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.
Description
Using the SAPscript Raw Data Interface (RDI), you can connect external text management systems to control individual requests, for example, optimizing postage expense. The interface contains all form data from the R/3 System, but no layout information such as font or page size. The external system alone is responsible for the layout and administration of the document data. The RDI is of special importance for mail processing. The external system sorts the document data from the interface and forwards the documents accordingly.
The Raw Data Interface is a certified interface and allows easy connection to external systems. However, you pay the price for this extra function, as you lose tight integration with the R/3 System. For example, you cannot find out from within an R/3 application whether the external system successfully printed and sent the documents. In addition, extra expense is incurred each time you adapt a standard form, since the system has to adapt both an internal and external form. The external tool is not an integral part of the ABAP Development Workbench, so that field information (field type, output length and so on) from the ABAP Dictionary is not available.

Convert AS2 swf to AS3 swf

I have a swf (written in AS3) that loads other swfs into it.
There are no issues when loading other AS3 swfs but there is a
problem loading AS2 swfs. I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
flash.display::AVM1Movie@35d3a51 to flash.display.MovieClip.
Is there any way to convert the AS2 swf into a AS3 swf so it
will be compatible with my loader? I cannot go back and change the
AS2 swfs because I do not have the fla files. Or is there any way
to incorporate AS3 code that will load AS2 swfs properly? It seems
hard to believe that Adobe would neglect this backwards
compatibility issue. Thanks

Hello Andrei1,
Thanks for looking at my simple AS3 code. The AS2 swfs that
I've been working (and having difficulties) with are components
that I've purchased from places like www.flashden.com. Some are
image transitions (such as "Dynamic Image Draw found at
http://www.flashden.net/item/dynamic-image-draw/7532)
while another is used to create a looped banner rotator animation
(IMG_loop, a free d/l from www.afcomponents.net). I have another
that uses an .xml file to configure a slideshow animation.
You mention "needing to do more" if AS2 scripts inside its
swf are to be run by the parent AS3 fla; what would these lines of
code be?
In researching my problem further I've since realized that
most of these issues deal both with the version of AS used, as well
as the version of the Flash player the fla is set up to animate
for. In particular, the "Dynamic Image Draw" component requires
that Flash Player 8 or 9 be used with AS2.
Given that many of my purchased components are like this,
I've since changed my main fla movie from AS3 back to AS2 and have
learned that the scripting needed to call individual multiple swfs
into it at various points in the timeline is MUCH simpler!!!!! One
single, easily interpreted, line of code vs. 5 lines using
variables and much more arcane (to me) function calls.
I started my file with AS3 figuring that I'd be better off
learning the new version of the language; much stress and
forehead-rubbing later, I've seen just how much easier and
understandable AS2 is to learn.
I recognize that there are likely very strong arguments for
the more structured coding approach used by AS3, but for someone
like me who wants to generate customized Flash presentations with
little fuss, I'm not qualified to make them.
Perhaps this is a no brainer for those many flash gurus out
there, but for me this tiny bit of wisdom has been hard fought for!
That being said, is there an easy way to convert a swf file
created using AS2 to something that AS3 can work/interact with?
I've come across a free d/l product called actionscript bridge, but
haven't been able to understand how to get it to work.

Aargh! How do I convert to .swf?
