Adding flash animation to PE9

A client wants to incorporate a short flash animation into a video I am producing. I was given a SWF and FLV. I imported the SWF, and best I got was a still image. FLV wasn't even recognized. I could swear I had done this with an old version of elements, but perhaps not. I am willing to install a codec or coverter. I'm not picky. I'd rather not just buy Pro 5.5 (I have Pro CS3) if I can avoid it. Any advice would be great!

Steve,
With the Moyea Flash Importer plug-in for PrPro, up to CS3, that program can Import and edit FLV's.
With about the second, or third update for PrPro CS4, full FLV (depends on the exact CODEC used in the FLV - no Sorenson Spark) Import and editing is possible.
I have the Moyea Flash Importer plug-in, and it has worked very well.
Also, there is a utility (cannot recall if it was freeware, or shareware) called FLV to AVI, that has worked pretty well for me, though not nearly so well, as with the Moyea product.
Now, there can be things to consider:
There is no direct plug-in for PrE, and the Premiere plug-in only lists PrPro.
Most FLV's are tiny in their Frame Sizes, so that is a major consideration.
Often, the FPS of FLV's will be lower, so again, another issue.

  • Adding Flash animation to dreamweaver

    Hi,
    I've created a Flash animation as the first thing to show on
    my webpage in the index page. And it takes the whole screen. And it
    contains links in the flash animation. How can I link the links in
    Flash to the pages in dw?
    Thanks a lot!
    Esther

    How can someone that doesn't have Flash installed use your
    site?
    You would have to use Flash to put those links on the page.
    HTML cannot add
    links to a Flash element.

  • How do i stop my flash animation from constantly looping even though i added stop code?

    how do i stop my flash animation from constantly looping? I can't seem to find the answer. I put the stop(); code on it's own layer and at the end of the timeline. it still doesn't work when i test it or publish. I'm new to Flash.

    if you're publishing for html5, use:
    this.stop();
    to stop the timeline that contains the code.  if you want to stop other timelines, you must reference them.  eg,
    mc1.stop();
    mc2.stop();
    mc2.mc3.stop();

  • How do I make multiple buttons in my flash animation?

    I am new to flash, and I have no training in it whatsoever. I
    created a flash animation with flash CS3 for my photography
    website, and I want to link each of the images to different
    galleries on my site. When I created my first button it worked
    fine, but when I try to create actions to link more than one image
    as a button, keep getting an error that says "1021: Duplicate
    function definition." How do I make each image as a separate
    button?
    I used the video of this tutorial as my guide to learn how to
    create a button:
    http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/flash/articles/flacs3it_firstflash_pt1.html
    Also, when I run the animation to test it, it loops, and I
    don't want it to loop. How do I stop it from looping?

    I used the method shown in the tutorial I mentioned to create
    it (created a new layer for the button, selected the area of the
    image for the button,used modify -> convert to symbol
    -> button, I edited it so it was an invisible button by
    moving it to the hit frame, gave the selected area an instance name
    of Hizumi_btn, inserted a new layer for actions and added the code
    I have attached to this post.
    I assumed that I would just need to repeat this procedure for
    each of the other images in my animation, but when I did that I
    received the error.
    I greatly appreciate any help you can give me.
    Thanks for the information on how to stop the animation.
    Here is the code I used to create my first button.

  • Is Flash animation possible in iWeb?

    I've tried dragging .swf files I made in Keynote into iWeb, but they just show up in a movie player and not a self playing animation. It wouldn't even show the transitions I made. Has anyone figured out if it's even possible to add Flash?
    Maybe in March a Pro version of iWeb will debut along with the other new Universal Pro Apps. Here's hopin'. Other than that, iWeb is pretty dang cool.
    <http://web.mac.com/archstanton1862/iWeb/TrickRacing>

    I'm not privy to the details and deals made between Macromedia (now Adobe) that allowed QuickTime 4 play Flash version 3 formats. The QT 5 allowed version 4 of Flash. And, 6 allowed Flash 5. Seems they were always one version number behind.
    QuickTime 7 can't open Flash published higher than version 5, still. No version 6 support and nothing about Flash MX and newer versions (now up to 8, I believe).
    If you want to hide the movie controller (I do it all the time in my pages) just set the html code for controller="false" in both the object and embed tags.
    QuickTime also allows "progressive download" (a.k.a. Fast Start). Again, a simple html tag is all that is usually needed (autoplay="true") for this function to work.
    The feature of Flash animation that allows this speed is its use of "objects". Once created, they can be morphed into different shapes or reused without increasing file size. Video formats can't do that. And neither does your Keynote export even though it is in Flash file format.
    Vector graphics (scalable) are another Flash feature but QT can do some vector graphic formats (text files are an example).
    Flash files usually display quickly (small file size) and don't demand much on a CPU because of what they are. Nothing to do with the file content,
    Lastly, the Flash format was never intended for "video" formats. They don't do the colors (8 bit 256 colors is the normal limit of Flash) that most graphics now demand.
    http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/xmas/index.html
    One of mine from may years ago. Under 3MB's.
    Flash (and other tracks added using QT Pro) used. All in a .mov "wrapper".

  • How to add a flash animation into another flash presentation? Help!!!

    I made an animation and I am wanting to add it to a flash portfolio that I am now creating. I am creating the portfolio so I can send it to potential employers. I am new to Flash but not to Illustrator, Photoshop or InDesign. I am adding several different files from those other programs to the porfolio and want to add a few Flash creations also.So how can I easliy bring the Flash animations into the Presentation? I want the animation to play in the same timeline but I don't want to have to recreate the whole thing or recreate the portfolio. What type of file format does the animation need to be to play? Can this be done?

    In AS2 you can use loadmovie to load a .swf into another .swf.

    In AS3, something like this:

  • Flash Animation Blocks Drop-Down Menu

    I added a simple flash animation (slideshow) to a site I am
    working on which is located under the navigation bar that has a
    drop-down menu (created in Fireworks). When I preview the site in
    Firefox or Internet Explorer on a PC, the drop-down menu is behind
    the flash animation and all of the links cannot be seen. Is there
    an easy solution to this problem?
    Thank you,

  • How to have a flash animation like this?

    Hi, Iam very new to website...Iam developing in Asp.Net 2010...Also It's my first project..
    I wish to learn the flash animation....similar to the link below mentioned homepage- top side logo animation...
    For that which has to be the references in asp.net.. And sample codings...or links will be helpful...
    Really I don't know  the tags..for this question...
    http://www.infosys-global.com/en/
    Thanks for the guidances

    It looks like it is just a timeline animation, possibly using a repeated subanimation for each of the whirling arcs which get turned at different rotation values and scaled... a little color tweening added near the end to get the pinkish hue.

  • Importing Flash animation into Catalyst

    Is Catalyst yet capable of importing and using movie clips made in flash, or it can only use static images on layers from Photoshop and Illustrator?  If not, I'd like to say that I really like the idea of making Flash animation movie clips how I usually do, but then being able to utilize them in the Catalyst environment.  So for example le't say I want to create rollover animations for buttons, could I make that in Flash and then bring that into Catalyst?
    Also, do I need CS4 to use Catalyst?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    Creating transitions in Flash Catalyst does not require writing any ActionScript code.  Although animation in Flash Catalyst is most commonly created via state transitions, you can also create animation without states by using an action sequence (which you can trigger from any interaction, just like a state transition).
    Here are some video tutorials introducing animation in Flash Catalyst:
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-flash-catalyst-cs5/gs05-adding-transitions-between-pages-a nd-states/

  • Adding swf animation to Captivate Slide

    Hello Forum Members,
    I have a problem. I just used Flash (CS3 Pro) to make a small
    animation that moves a few objects
    across the stage, and has glow filters, etc. I have also
    added eventlisteners for mouse over and mouse out on this swf. The
    swf plays fine in standalone mode (in Flash Player, etc). I have an
    object that gets created via action script in this swf as well as
    objects already on the stage (design time).
    I then insert this swf file into a Captivate (3.0) slide -
    the animations do not play correctly, my object that gets created
    in the swf timeline never appears, and the rollover/out actions do
    not play. Am I not understanding the capability of Captivate to
    "play" Flash animations? I was hoping to use this flash element in
    my Captivate project.
    Thanks for a helpful forum,
    eholz1

    Thanks for your reply!  Here's a better explanation of my end goal.
    I want to create a software simulation.  I want my question to look and
    function interactively in a limited way just like the piece of software.  I
    will then ask them to do a task using this software and mark them correct if
    they finish it correctly.
    For example, if I was using MS Word I want a master slide that includes the
    menu drop downs and hover effects that would match the actual program.  I
    could use those over and over and each question just add the content unique
    for the question.
    Does that make sense?  Can Captivate do that?

  • Embedded Flash Animation Won't Pause with Slide; Gray Screen on Resume

    Hello,
    We've added a Flash animation to a slide but when the we pause that slide, the animation keeps playing. Furthermore, when we resume, the whole movie goes gray.
    Extra: this slide also has audio. We could add it to the animation, that's not a problem, but the animation needs to work first!
    Thanks!

    It was not the embedded animation that turned gray but the whole slide!
    Since the original animation was from Captivate, we just copied the slides instead of trying to embed the swf. Our immediate needs are thus fulfilled. However, in the future, we will try the animation as a slide background if we need to do something similar.
    (Unfortunately, I cannot share the animation because of corporate policy.)
    Note: The question has not been answered but I marked it as answered because I no longer need an answer.

  • How to link flash animations in dreamweaver 8

    Hey everyone i have been trying to learn dreamweaver 8, flash
    8, and others in a short time. My question is,
    I am trying to create a website in dreamweaver 8 but i am
    having trouble making a link to another page of the site out of the
    flash animation once it's done. I can't find a option for that
    anywhere, I was able to link the table in which the animation sits
    but it does nothing. For now i just have the word ENTER below the
    animation so the rest of the site can be viewed.
    here's the link to the site where the animation first page is
    www.fatcatzcreative.com
    I have spent days trying to figure this out and being the
    typical man i have finally broken down and am askin for help.
    Thanks in advance to all.

    HTML cannot link Flash.
    If you want links in Flash, you will have to edit the Flash
    file's
    actionscript and add the links there.
