Best way to put flash background on website?

Hello,
I am very new to both after effects and flash and need some help with a few things.
I am trying to put a flash background on my website that will loop over and over.
I created the file in after effects but understand that it is best to export to flash to keep file size down.
I have tried exporting from after affects using F4L, FLV, and XFL and always seem to get a file size of 2-4 MB.
My video is only 8 seconds long and I exported at half resolution so I am unsure why it is so large.
How can I reduce the file size?
When I import F4L and FLV to flash and then export as an SWF file, the file does not work on my website(nothing shows). It seems to only work when I import as an XFL and then export as an SWF.
Also, how do I get the video to loop? Do I do this in flash or in the object tags in my website?
If anyone could please help me out that would be much appreciated.
Thanks and I look forward to your replies.

Don`t export to flv from after effects, instead choose png.
You will end up with having your pictures rendered as file001.png....file200.png.
Create a new fla press ctrl+F8 (on PC) and then import the first of the files (file001.png) to the stage. Flash will ask you if you want to import the rest of the animation as well.
Now from the Library you can drag your new created symbol (with the png loop) on stage. Publish it as swf.
Done

What is the best way to make a background loop ?

Hi guys,
I have another problem.
Can I know what is the best way to put a background loop ?
The background video loop I purchased is only 5 seconds. In Movie Maker, I just hold the end of the clip on the timeline & drag it longer & the background video will go back to the beginning once it reached the end of the 5th sec.
Do I copy & paste & repeat the clips on the timeline as I don't seem to be able to pull it once it reach 5 secs long.
Thanks

Copy and paste.

I'm seeing a hot pink background (which is my browser default
- so that I do
remember to declare a background color). You need to add:
body { background-color: white;} to your stylesheet, or into
the imbedded
styles on your page.
In Firefox, the very top black section, #headertop is hidden
behind the
header image.

I can see the header image stretching right across the page..
so not sure
what color is missing there.

What is the best way of putting music onto another iphone?

What is the best way of putting music onto another iphone for a different itunes account user and different phone carrier? multiple user accounts on my mac? or home sharing to put the music on? then they have their own itunes account for apps etc?

Hi DVX100Shooter,
Congratulations on getting your son a new iPad, I am sure he will enjoy it.
Family Sharing is one way of managing both purchases and content between members of a related group of people. Each member must have their own Apple ID. You can choose what music you wish to share with the family from your own account. See this article -
OS X Yosemite: Share purchases with your family
In particular the section titled Hide a purchase from other family members
The music library on your son's iPad is separate from yours, but under Family Sharing you agree to pay for all purchases made through the iTunes store. If you wish to control what is purchased you can set up the Ask to Buy option for any family member under adult age in your location. See this article for details -
Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
Gift cards may not be used for billing of purchases under family sharing, with the exception that a family member may use gift cards to purchase their own content. See this article for information about Family Sharing billing policies -

What is the best way to put various songs into one album?

I have been adding album information and album artwork within iTunes to take advantage of cover flow, but i have a lot of songs in my music library that are "stand alone" songs - it is the only song from that artist. I want to put all of these songs together in one album, so all of my miscellaneous rock songs will be put into a Rock Music album or file. I want to do this to eliminate all of the grey boxes within cover flow for all of these songs. When i give the files all the same album name (Rock Music) and album artist (Various Artists) it still does not put them all together within iTunes. It will do it for some, but not all.
What is the best way to put all of these miscellaneous songs into the same album?

Try marking all the tracks as part of a compilation. Click on the first track in your list, hold down the shift key and click on the last. Right click anywhere in the selection and choose Get Info, when you are asked if you want to edit multiple items say yes. Change compilation at the bottom of the window to Yes.

Filter or Restrict on? Which is the best way to put it?

Hello Experts,
If there is a Characteristic/Key figure on a report in BEx, and I right click on it and find another data element say, 0FISPER it I EDIT. On right click on 0FISPER I a variable.
My question is this, do we way that the key figure is RESTRICTED ON 0FISPER
or, key figure is FILTERED by 0FISPER
When do we use Filter or Restrict on? Which is the best way to put it? How best is it read, please include the variable in your discussion.
I will appreciate this clarification.
e.g. Company code EDIT shows Company codes ZPPTcomp: with nodes 8000, 9000
Thanks.

Hi Amanda,
as per my understanding,
you are checking the structure field, you have selected edit then you are viewing a key figure and 0fiscper restricted by varaible. am I right?
if this is the case this is local selection and the key figure is restricted by fiscper variable means the restriction value user can enter in selection screen. if you select 0fiscper and select restrict there you can see single values, value range and you can also see varaible tab. by using varaible tab you can restrict to variable value.
hope this gives you some understanding.

Best way to obtain flash developers.

We are a fortune 500 media company in mid-town Manhattan.
What would be the best way to obtain flash resources for our
flash video project?
Should I get a macromedia consultant, or look for someone
from the outside?
I agree that macromedia consultant may not get us the most
bang for our buck, but I would like to make sure I cover myself. If
something happens, I could at least say I had macromedia involved.
I was thinking of maybe a part-time macromedia consultant,
and another developer outside of macromedia.
What our my options?

Not sure why a consultant would not get the most bang for
your buck!
Measuring in dollar per hour or dollar per productive hour is
the question
there.
The age old debate between consultant and employee will go
on, but a general
decision criteria is do you need a long term full time
employee or staff
that you will see gets professional development in this
rapidly changing
field of technology or do you have specific needs that will
expire in a
known time frame.
As for looking for a "Macromedia Consultant", you may find
looking for
"Flash Developer" or the new title "Adobe Developer" with
experience in
Flash Video and Flash Communications or Flash Media Server
development.
Also you can post to the adobe.general.job.opportunities
forum (might still
be macromedia.general.job. opportunites as my news reader
still reads it
that way) for candidates who might want some short term
assignments as well
as long term and permanent.

What is the best way to create videos for my website?

Hi,
I'm a public speaking coach in Sydeny Australia. I've started a blog and want to include videos to my newsletter subscribers. I do not want to use YouTube, because I want to only share these videos to people on my list.
What is the best way / program to create good videos for my customers? I think I might need to upload these videos to my server and only share the links...? Any suggestions welcome.
Thank you
Trevor Ambrose
http://www.changingtools.com

Trevor:
This may be more information than you asked for, but here goes:
Get a Samsung S10 Video camera (under $400) and a Zoom H4n Professional audio recorder. Get Adobe Production Premium CS5. The camera shoots 1920 x 1080 square pixel in a better quality than a $6000 Panasonic P2 from 4 years ago. The downside, the audio from the Samsung is poor. That's why I recommend the Zoom H4n. On the Premiere timeline, you simply align the waveform of the video with the higher quality wave from the H4n. You can buy a medium sized fold up greenscreen and place any background behind your talent. CS5 has Ultra built in, so you can easily key out the green right on the Premiere timeline revealing a nice background of your choice.
I would design a web page based upon your current website's look and feel that will be a template for your videos. You export your finished video from the Premiere timeline as an f4v. I would recommend 16x9 widescreen and use the Flash preset of "Web Large Widescreen". You can also specify a "Fullscreen" button on the video's controller. The quality is so good that the video will look good even when your client watches it full screen. You import the video into Flash CS5 using the same document dimensions as your video size. You create a Flash template and "Publish" your Flash movie TO your template. Then all that is necessary is to upload all of the associated Web ready files to your server via FTP or Dreamweaver. This workflow streamlines the process and saves hours of fiddling around.
As far as the Web page goes that has your video, give the pages an HTML name like; vid0096hvc.html and use the Robots No Follow tag:
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
This is the next best thing to having a client log-in and works in a setting where people aren't paying
to see the video, but you still don't want them plastered all over the internet.

Best way to embed playable movies on website?

I have a video clip that I neede dto break down into pieces
and put in viewable form on a website. The file is currently a .wmv
file.
My plan was to use flash to make files that I could embed in
the website, and the end user could click on it to play it in the
web page. In reading how to do it in flash, it looked like there
was some action script requirements, I am not sure best how to make
it happen.
What is the best way to get my videos on the site? Should I
stick with flash, or get a reasonably priced 3rd party program that
automates the process, or go another route?
(PS- what would be the best format of movie to use as
well?)

Hopefully your WMV is not already compressed/downsized from
the original
video. If it is, go back to the original file first. Take the
video file
into the Flash Video Encoder and make an FLV file. Then you
can either use
DW's built-in Insert | Media | Flash Video or you can use a
3rd party like
the JL FLV Media Player -

[Flex 4.5.1] What is the best way of adopting a flex built website for mobile "as is"?

What is the best way of adopting a flex 4.5.1 built website for mobile "as is"?
I have a website built with flex 4.5.1 which I want to be working on mobile as it should - meaning that touch style of interactions should be working not mouse.
The question is: Do I HAVE TO recode all of my website from Application into Mobile Application in order to be a more lightweight version of the original one, which includes: remove some functionality, pages, animation, build a separate backend and cms to control it etc.?
OR
Can I just define mobile skins, for my existing components to use when in mobile mode, in which I could have done some tweaking by removing some unnecessary parts and changing component interactionMode to Touch ?
Are both options which I see possible and if yes - which one would you recommend?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the answer. Yeah I bet you figured out what I want the answer to be, but is it ? That's why I am asking here. I can see my website on my HTC Desire HD and it's working pretty well. If I reskin the parts that need a bigger hit area or the scrollers to work with touch so I don't have to scroll the actual scrollbars with my finger, remove some complex animations - everything will work just fine... The problem is that I am not sure if that is the right way to do it or if it is possible at all.
I do get your point about not designed for mobile stuff, but while with html 5 you get the job done for web and mobile with little differences at the same time, in flash you need double time cause you'll have to build 2 projects. And since the framework is one for both web and mobile.. why not...
I want to see the pros and cons of the both approaches I suggested. In a complex modular architecture I could easily swap one web module with a mobile module for example or change skins or components if I need more lightweight ones, but do I have to copy all that logic in to a MobileApplication, can't I do it with Application and use the MobileComponents (which are simplier and less functional) if the project actually needs them...
I do hope you get why I am asking these questions, and I can't believe I haven't found a guide or something like that "why this and not that" when it comes to mixing web with mobile development and flex... If you have, please share the link, I would be happy to read. Or someone with the experience in what I am talking about shares some knowledge, that would be great!
Thanks.

Best way to develop flash games for desktop + mobile, today

Hi
It has been a nice run of about 7 or 8 years now that we have developed Flash browser based games for the web exclusively. Of course with the ubiquity of mobile devices, things have changed. Clients are starting to demand, almost assume, that games will work in the browser - on the desktop and on their tablets.
Putting aside the whole discussion of using an HTML5/JS solution instead, we're sticking with Flash for the next project and need to figure out the best way to get it to run on the desktop browser and on the iPad, while maximizing code re-use.
Given the current state of technologies today, what is the best path? This game will be a 2D side-scroller type game, and development will be done mainly with bitmap graphics (as opposed to vector) and spritesheets :
Option 1: Develop the game targeting the 'standard' flash player for web, then port to an iOS AIR 3.2 app, doing appropriate optimizations.
Option 2: Use Starling/Stage3D for desktop, and then port to an iPad app. Just wondering if starling is ready for primetime making production quality games for mobile + desktop. Does Stage3D still work well enough in software mode on older machines?
Option 3: The new feature in CS6 that lets us publish to HTML5. Is this even close to mature enough to publish a full game? The benefit of this solution is that it could run in the browser on the iPad instead of being a separate app.
Thianks so much for any guidance.. I'm also wondering about pitfalls, and optimization techniques involved in any of these.
-rich

Well I don't know if I can give you 'guidance' without knowing the details of you and your project and all that, but here's my personal opinions:
Option 1: I would go for developing for iOS and Android first and then "in-brower" over the other way around. But I would actually develop for all targets at once so that I know I am not using a solution that breaks another platform/formactor that has to be redone later. iOS has allot more guidelines and things you have to consider than the the 'browser' where there is no approval proccess. So if you can get it approved on iOS then it should be able to go to Android and the browser without so much trouble, but the other way around you could really create allot of stuff that needs to be redone -- Apple is very strict on making sure that the users are not stuck with bad UI or a bad user experience(as is defined by their user interface guidelines). I have some projects that were made for in-browser flash first, and it has been hell porting them over to iOS/Android. The whole way they interact with the user has to be rethought for mobile/small screens/touch screens. If I had made them originally with mobile in mind, then it may not have been as much of an ordeal.
Option 2: I am not familiar with 'starling' or Stage3D, so I can't be helpful here.
Option 3: I was under the impression that the 'publish to HTML5' feature was just for animations, not ActionScript -- Maybe someone else can answer this for sure. Even if it could do ActionScript, there still may be no way to access some of the stuff an app could (saving levels/data/whatever to the device hard-drive, etc).
Anyhow, curious why you would want to avoid vectors? With so many screen resolutions, and the potential that they may get higher in the future (like they did with retina display on iOS), vector would make your project better suited to work on future devices without having to redo things and add higher resolution bitmaps later. If you have something that absolutely demands insane perfomance, then the bitmap/spritesheet stuff might be needed I guess... (or if it is some '8-bit retro' type of thing)

"Messing up cells/rows" could mean quite a few things. For
example, you
would certainly have trouble trying to pack a 550 x 200 SWF
into a cell
whose dimensions were 50 x 22. Is that what you mean?

I checked out your URL, but didn't see any Flash on the home
page. In
fact, I didn't see Flash on any of the pages, but admittedly,
I only clicked
into a a few. I wonder if you mean that Flash content appears
*on top* of
your drop-down navigation -- is that it? If so, there's an

Best way to put system and apps (home directory?) on new SSD?

I just installed a new 115 GB SSD in slot 2 of my MacPro (early 2008). I have not initialized yet. I want to make that my Boot Drive. I have Carbon Cloner and have cloned my entire old HD onto an external so far. What is the best way to get my system and apps onto the SSD. I'm guessing Carbon Cloner will let me clone parts of my HD and not make me clone all of it but I don't yet know how to do that. Do I just clone my apps folder and then my system folder one at a time? What do I do with the Library? I cannot clone my entire HD onto the SSD first because it will not fit and I do not want my data on there anyway. I have read that I should also put my home directory on the boot but this is now confusing me. I plan on partioning the erased HD into fast and slow, then putting my User folder from the external back on there. I am the only one using the computer so I do not have issues with Users and all my apps are in the main hard drive app folder but I have noticed that I have things in both my Library folders (main HD and my home). Should I put all items in one of them, main or home? before I do this? I never understood why I have items in both folders since I am the only user and all the apps are on main. Thanks.

Best way to watch flash videos??

Hey so I really would like to watch flash videos for either movies or clips, what is the best way/app to watch flash videos whether the app is free or not it doesnt matter.
could someone tell me the most effective app and has experience with it? Thanks!

Search the app store. There are several alternate browsers that advertise the ability to play Flash content. However many people report very mixed results since the way these browsers work is to send the Flash content to a server to be converted to iOS format and then sent back to the browser. The bottom line is that Flash has never been supported on iOS so take that into consideration.
Most of the big web sites have long since supported iOS for video. I watch video clips, YouTube, etc. all the time on my iPad and don't really run into many sites that won't work. I'm sure there are and the best course of action is to encourage those sites to get with the plan and support mobile platforms like iOS and Android.

What is the best way to put a movie on a DVD?

I want to put my movie on a DVD and show it on the TV. What is the best way to do this?

Yes, you can put more than one movie on a DVD, as long as the total length of both together is not over 2hrs for single-layer DVDs.
I know what you mean about it taking so long for the burning....my DVDs are usually just close to 2hrs, so taking 12-14hrs to burn is not unusual for me. I just do it overnight, and it is finished in the morning. I 'save to disc image' first, and then do the burning from Disk Utility.
Trust me, I've tried everything I can think of to be able to.
I am surprised that you cannot get your movies exported back to DV tapes with your camcorder. I looked up its specs, and it shows it has Firewire port, so you should be able to export. I would pursue this further....
Have you tried saving your movies as QuickTime Full-Quality and then importing that into a new iMovie and exporting that? You will need to have more free space to copy the movie, but once you have made the QT movie, you can delete the original one, and you can delete the QT one after the export. Also, it may take a LOOOONNNGGG time for the compression/process necessary to create the QT movie, and somewhat long for the import into iMovie, but I have found that iMovies that would not export to my camcorder in their original form exported easily after I made the QT one.
