Black outline imported SWF

I was given a SWF file of an animation that was created a few years ago. When I import the SWF file into After Effects CC, I get a black square with a black circle in the middle that moves in and out of the animation.
I think the animator was using camera movement in Flash, because the black circle and outline follows certain objects as they move across the scene. Also, when I play back the original SWF file, there is a virtual camera that occasionally pans across an image that is larger than the frame. In the imported file in After Effects, I only see the initial part of that image in the frame, which remains stationery while just the black square and circle outline moves across the frame.
Would this be corrected if the original Flash movie was exported to SWF in a newer version of Flash? Or is this just a limitation of After Effects CC's SWF importer?

The import of SWF files into After Effects is very limited and is only intended to be used for flattened, simple movies.
Here's the excerpt from After Effects Help that most likely explains why you're only seeing some animation preserved in After Effects:
"Interactive content and scripted animation are not retained. Animation defined by keyframes in the main, top-level movie is retained."

Thick black outlines on .swf in interactive .pdf

When viewing an interactive .pdf with a .swf embedded file, all the elements of the animation appear with a think black outline on some windows machines.
Anyone else have this issue?

Placing a SWF into InDesign, and creating an interactive PDF is a bad hack, or as my friend Sandee Cohen said yesterday, a "kludge."
Those of us who were initially excited about the idea have concluded that it's just not a good idea. The SWF file becomes like a movie file, and you have absolutely no controls over it.

Mysterious black outline around imported jpg

We created a logo for a client. She is reporting that every time she uses it there is a black outline showing up around the edge of the .jpg.
We have checked all of our files thoroughly, and there is no outline on any of them.
Does anyone know why this might be happening?
Thanks!

Sara,
One other thing, not directly related to your concern, but a concern nonetheless...
Good logos are generally constructed as vectors, not pixels. "Illustrator" vector formats (e.g. .ai, .eps) will give you the best images. If you must use a pixel-based format, stick with .tif, .psd, .eps.
The .jpg format is lossy and can leave you with blotchy, unsharp logotypes or marks, particularly if they consist mainly of type, line and color and if the .jpg is highly compressed.
(For Web, the choices would be .gif for type, line and color; .jpg for photographic images.)

Black outlines around images in pdfs from Indesign

I'm not sure if this is an Indesign problem or Acrobat. I have imported several photoshop files in which I have deleted the background around the figures. The background is transparent. When I make a pdf from Indesign, there is a black outline that appears, tracing the edge of the figures. Does anyone know what might cause this and how to fix. I have imported this kind of file many times with no problems.

Check if they're RGB in PS. I had this problem recently when exporting to PDF. It didn't show in ID file but showed in PDF. I converted to CMYK, relinked, and exported new PDF and the problem went away.

Is there a global setting to turn off black border on swfs?

Hi there
I started this question in the Framemaker forum as I assumed it was a Framemaker issue..
see: FM12 Imported Captivate 8 files, how do I get rid of the black border?
but it seems to be an Acrobat thing, so am trying here as I've not used Acrobat much.
My problem is that all my swfs (imported into Framemaker 12 and then saved as pdf), show up with an unwanted black border around them. So there is this dialogue box which comes up when you right click an imported swf... and I can turn off the border on individual swfs after the pdf is produced. Could anyone tell me if there is a global equivalent or a way to stop them happening in the first place? Would be very much appreciated.

You need to file a feature request for Framemaker - it doesn't use Acrobat to create PDFs. The default for embedding Rich Media in Acrobat is 'no border', but the FM team clearly have another opinion on what their users want.

Importing Swf

Hi there,
I have created a flash file using codebaby and it is transparent; however, when I bring it into adobe presenter, it has a black background. How do I get rid of the black background of the imported swf file? It looks great in other tools; however, I need it to be transparent in adobe presenter. I have 7.0.
Adobe presenter 7.0.6 build 7604

Hi there,
I am using AS2; however I still get the black background, so then I tried capturing the background and using that in my background and I get a border.

Annoying black outline

I can't believe I can't figure this out. My daughters were playing on the computer today and now everything that I click on is outlined in a bold black outline. I've looked in appearance and can't figure it out for the life of me. Anyone have a clue how to take this off. Before, when I scrolled over an area it was just a light square highlighting the area. It's not hugely important, more just a bother to me but am curious to know how my children change things on here and I can never get them fixed.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Please help -- SHADOWS APPEAR as BLACK OUTLINES when I EXPORT to PDF

Hi all,
I have designed a product catalog in InDesign. I retouched product in PS and dropped an "outer glow" and "drop shadow" Layer Style onto the products and saved them with a transparent background in a .PSD format. The files were then Placed into the InDesign document.
The pages print just as they appear when I print from InDesign, however, I would like to be able to email this document out to retailers, but when I Export as a PDF, the images with shadows appear as if they are stroked with a sloppy/irregular black line in place of the shadows...
Please help me resolve.
Could it be due to the compression?
Thoughts? Alternatives?
Thanks so much,
Andrew

Bob,
I'm sorry for the delayed reply.
Here is the catalog I designed. If you flip through it, you will see that some of the t-shirts have this black outline in place of the "outer glow effect"
I am using CS3.
My workflow was this:
Brought photo into PS > masked out background > deleted selected to Transparent background > Placed graphic in new layer over Tshirt image > Saved file as TIFF > Placed TIFF into InDesign document > Export InDesign document to PDF
Thoughts?

Import swf files in CP3, but export without any voice?

Did anyone have the same problem with me?
I imported swf file in slide and published. But I can't hear any voice in the slide....
At the same time, I tried to import as flv file and published, then it works. Voice in slide can be heard with no problem.
How can I fix the problem? thanks!!

Hi,
Just a quick check. Go to menu item " Edit > Preferences" and select category "Publish Settings".
Confirm that option "Include Audio" is checked.

Imported swfs display different every time

Hello -
I have tried importing swfs, and each time it displays different when published. The first time, it resized and could be seen completely within the window. The second time, it did not resize so only the top left of the image could be seen. The third, time it sort of resized, but is still cut off on the bottom. I inserted the same swf file the same way each time, so I'm not sure what affects the way it displays when published. I'm using the trial version of Presenter version 7.0.7 Build 7746. The swfs were created in Captivate 5.0, and I'm using Office/PowerPoint 2010. Below are examples of what each looks like after the publish. Does anyone know how I can control how the swf will display once published?
Thanks!
Katherine

Hello -
I think it has to do with resizing the swf once it is imported. I resized it first by widening it so it went the entire width of the page - the second time I believe I did the same thing and got the larger image. Then I tried various ways of resizing and also not moving or resizing at all, and got these different results. It is not consistent, the same way of resizing did not result in the same output. Is it not possible to resize the imported swf - for example, resize so it takes up the entire slide? Below is a link to download the swf I'm using.

PDF has strange black outline at printers end?

Hi all
I am trying to send a PDF of a book to a printing company in Japan (clients choice!), and I am doing everything I would usually do, supplying with crop marks and bleed.
When they open the PDF it seems to have cropped many of the pages and put a black outline around it.
I insert a screen shot (note this is page 7. Page 6 is NOT white, therefore it has removed the crop on the left side!)
Any advice gratefully received. At my end, some of the pages do seem to have a black outline for some reason on my PDF but they fall outside of the crop marks.
Thanks!

Black outline appeared after accidental button mashing.

After accidentally button mashing my keyboard a black outline now appears over anything that pressing "tab" and anything I type in or click on. It happens all over the computer not just Safari, also while scrolling it does not stay with the typing box it says in the same place on screen. While trying to fix it my Apple Menu now has the following options -Force Quit... -Force Quit Safari -Restart... -Restart -Shut Down... -Shut Down -Log Out __... -Log Out __. Also Under Safari and File -Private Browsing... -Private Browsing -Close Window -Close Window -Close All Windows -Close All Windows.
Im sure it can be turned off but how?

You've turned Voice Over on. Command F5 will turn it off. (Or open the System Preferences and look for the Accessibility tab - last in the third row I think)

Why an imported SWF created in Flash CS5 doesn't works fine?

perhaps I am not lucky. I find no answer.. perhaps im a noob (daaaah) please if you can help it would be appreciated!
I'm new in flash and flash catalyst.. but i'm not bad at all hehe. After publishing a swf from flash CS5 (that works perfect when i preview it) i want to import it in flash catalyst...
... i click on import swf and i select my swf. When i execute the project (CTRL+ENTER) in flash catalyst the motion tweens created in Adobe Flash doesn't start
Even if it works well when i run the SWF from desktop or in Adobe Flash directly

A detail that could help you guys..
I used FlashEFF2 in Adobe Flash CS5 (as a Text Effect (it's awesome)) and this effect only starts and works fine in Flash Catalyst. The motions tweens created in Adobe Flash CS5 doesn't starts in Flash Catalyst
Thanks to read it!

Call a function in the shell SWF from a imported SWF

We have flash set up as a shell to take lesson data from XML
and display it frame by frame.
We import SWF files when the XML tells it to to be displayed
on the frame.
How can I get the imported SWF file to call a function in the
shell....
basically have a button or movie clip in the imported swf
call the "gotoNextFrame()" function in the shell.

We found a "bit" easier way if anyone is interested.. we have
the have an eventlistner added to the loader to assign a event to
the swf file thats imported:
flashLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
addEventHandlers);
then when its completed, it adds event listeners and calls
our "goNextFrame" function (then clears it when its removed from
the stage):
function addEventHandlers(event:Event):void
var swfMC:MovieClip = event.target.content as MovieClip;
swfMC.addEventListener("NextFrame", goNextFrame);
swfMC.addEventListener("PreviousFrame", goPrevFrame);
swfMC.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE,
clearEventListeners);
Then in the swf file thats to be imported, its real simple:
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, MoveToNextFrame);
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
MoveToPreviousFrame);
function MoveToNextFrame(e:MouseEvent):void
dispatchEvent(new Event("NextFrame"));
function MoveToPreviousFrame(e:MouseEvent):void
dispatchEvent(new Event("PreviousFrame"));
