Can After Effects deystroy a source swf file?
AFX is acting very odd lately, and since one of my collagues had the same problem, this is clearly not an isolated issue.
Here's what happened:
I'm working with imported swf files (doing extensive cameramovement between layers, using rasterised formats is not an option). After a while, the program starts to show some errors.
The files that worked just fine a moment ago, crop themselves at weird places, start flickering during preview, or disappear altogether.
The layers, the files are still there, but they seem to be empty. Later on, I tried to open the source files with the normal SWF player, and they also became empty!
There is seemingly NOTHING in the file, which has been clearly working a moment ago!
What's going on?
Turn of the Write XMP ID To Files On Import preference.
I have seen cases in which that causes problems with SWF files.

How can I make my external loaded .SWF file smoothly disappear after 15 seconds?
Hi,
How can I make my external loaded .SWF file smoothly disappear after 15 seconds? The following is the code to load an external .SWF file:
var K:Loader=new Loader();
addChild(K);
K.load(new URLRequest("clock.swf"));
K.x = 165;
K.y = 247;
K.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, growLoader);
function growLoader(evt:Event):void {
K.width = 130;
K.height = 130;
I want to make clock.swf file disappear from the page after 15 seconds using some smooth disappear effect.
Please help.
Thanks.Something even better:

After Effects error: Creating a resource file
Hi everyone
I'm administrating a machine with several users mainly using After Effects. The machine runs on Windows 7 64 bit.
I recently had to install videocopilots Optical Flares. Everything runs fine on my admin account but if i open AE on a user account i get an error message while on the loading screen. It says:
After Effects error: Creating a resource file "c:insert path to OpticalFlares.aex here" (might be a bit different in english as i translated this from german)
Every user has full read and write permission on the AE support files folder. Has anyone ever had such an error? All other plugins work as they should on every account.
Thanks for any hints!
MichaelI still think it is a permissions/ user privileges/ policies/ security issue - if it runs on one account, it is unlikely the plug-in is damaged or you installed the 32bit version in CS5 or vice versa. I strongly suspect the plug-in is unable to probe your graphics card and thus never initializes. Perhaps it's being blocked by some security tool or your user account doesn't have the permissions to load system drivers. The latter can be fixed by changing the respective entry in your group policy editor (gpedit.msc). The respective point would be in Computerkonfiguration --> Windows-Einstellungen --> Sicherheitseinstellungen --> Lokale Richtlinien --> Zuweisen von Benutzerrechetn --> Laden und Entfernen von Gerätetreibern. And of course temporarily turn off security stuff to verify it's not the problem.

How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc files, yes it needs to be saved manually.
You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one. Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11' -
How can I download and read a SWF file on IPad 2? The message returned is that Safari cannot download that file
SWF files are flash files, which are not supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
If you want to play the file then the iSwifter or Skyfire browser apps might work (they don't work on all flash sites) but you won't be able to download it -
Can I distribute the open source SWF compiler with my application?
I'm unclear reading the documentation if there is a difference between Adobe's official Flex SDK, and the open source version?
Can I distribute the open source SWF compiler with my application?
I have a flash application that users can change the fonts being displayed, if they supply the fonts in a compiled SWF. I found I can let the user select a font from their computer system, and using the mxmlc command I can easily generate a SWF with the font, which can be loaded by my application so the font will be part of the run time application when played on systems without that font already in the System fonts.
I was wondering if I could distribute the open source SDK so that I could compile these font SWFs for the user so they would not have to get involved in complicated Flash development. The audience is non Flash audience.
I tried using SWFMill but the fonts don't seem to work as they do with the mxmlc compile.
Thank you,

Hi
I am deploying my flash swf in dreamweaver, however i have a
problem my image is not fillng the whole of my browser screen
idealy 1000 x 600 and I am getting horible white borders around my
artwork.
I have
A used the properties settings in flash and sett my both my
stages to 1000 x 600 including my preloader
which the main swf loads into
B used the publish settings to match my document setting in
percent so they align in the middle of the page
Is there anything I can do in dreamweaver so my swf file
always fills the whole browser screen?
thanks

A flash file is proportional, and a web browser viewport
isn't necessarily
proportional.
So, unless you are forcing a persons web browser to a set
size (and I'd
STRONGLY not recommend doing that...ESPECIALLY at the size
you want) then
you'll need to confine your actual SWF file to a specific
size on the page
itself.
> A used the properties settings in flash and sett my both

> which the main swf loads into
The stage in Flash is not what tells the web browser what
size to set the
SWF on the HTML page itself. That's done in the HTML when you
'publish/export' your SWF file from flash using the HTML tab.
> Is there anything I can do in dreamweaver so my swf file

Well, you set the width and height to 100%, but that will
distort your SWF
file if people change the aspect ration of their browser from
that of the
SWF file.

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.

Can't use screensaver with flash (swf file) after mavericks upgrade
Hi, I have a screensaver who reads a html file with a SWF. It works perfectly on 10.8 (and older versions) but since I passed on 10.9 Mavericks I have a white screen without my animation. In safari the html page with the animation is working well ...
Is it possible that Apple is blocking the swf file in the screensaver ? Is there a parameters to activate somewhere ?I made the screen saver myself with xcode and i builded it in 64 bits with the last version of xcode ... When the screensaver is launching, it create a temporary html with a swf and, then reads it in a web zone. With Safary the html file works fine but in my screensaver i have a white screen.
I will check if the swf is in 32 or 64 bits (it's not me who generate the the swf file's). Thanks for the reply. -

Alright, now that's out of the way, heres the error i get.
Adobe After Effects CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Error signature
EventType : BEX P1 : AfterFX.exe P2 : 8.0.0.298 P3 : 465d3a47

This happens every time i try to import any kind of file. And I'm running the trial version of AE btw.
Now heres the things i have already tried.
1)Reinstalling After Effects repeatedly.
2)updating quick time
3)Deleting the pref file
4)removed any and all plug-ins
5)Deleted the OpenGL file
6)changed by screen resolution.
7)closed down anti-virus programs
8)Tried various ways of importing files, like drag and drop
9)tried importing different files.
10)Restarting my computer after attempting the all above^
I have also been to the general specialist website already thank you very much.
Edit: Now i have also tried uninstalling quick time and all of the video codec packs on my computer, this also didn't help (i did remember to restart afterwards)
Edit: Also, i started a new thread because nothing in any of the other threads on this same or similar errors was at all helpful to me.
edit3: i might also add that i have after effects 6.5 and it works just fine, though its much older.You can contact Adobe Technical Support for help with issues like this.

HI Folks,
I'm trying to import as I've seen on tutorials, my RAW files from my Canon 5D3 .CR2 files. I can open them in PS and LR5….and I'd seen examples of folks opening them with AE CS6 standalone, but it doesn't seem to recognize mine.
Any thoughts? Is there something I need to update, or flag or change?
I'm on a mac, OSX 10.7.5
AE verson: 11.0.4.2
This is what my import screen looks like:
Thanks in advance,
CI read through those linked pages, but they didn't give me any solution.
After nosing around through a LOT of sites on Adobe's site (why aren't pages dated, took forever to find the most up to date or pertinent pages)…I found this one that was slightly related, but worked for me.
http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/acr-84-bridge-cs6-metadata.html
I had to download this zip, and manually place the plugin as directed, and now, After Effects CS6 will recognize my CR2 raw files from my canon 5D3.
Thank you for the help, it led me in the right direction, but the link above was the actual solution I found that worked!!

Can't get preview on uploaded swf file
After uploading swf file created with Camtasia Studio 6.0 as
recommended I constantly receive message "This file can not be
previewed, please download it instead". Can you help me with this?
Thank you in advanceHello Leon_traut,
Thanks for posting.
While we are able to make previews for some files uploaded to
the Organizer, a SWF isn't one that we create a preview for with
Acrobat.com
If we are able to make a preview, we will, and it will
display. If not, then the option to download is presented as the
alternative.
What you're seeing is expected,
Hope this helps!

I just can't render any type of Quicktime file in AE CC 2014. I'm on Windows 8.1.
Even in CS6 was it not possible, but I never really used any Quicktime filetypes.
Normally I just rendered to .h264, but now that's only available via the insane slow Adobe Media Encoder, I want to use the Quicktime -> h.264 option, but it's just not possible.
I also want to render some footage to the Avid DNxHD codec, but this is also not possible.
Doesn't matter what type of footage, dslr footage, pictures, AE solids. Everytime I want to render in a Quicktime file I get this error:
AE error: Rendering error while writing to file (File-Location). Unable to open file. (-1610153459)
Installed the latest Windows version of Quicktime, didn't help...
I saw some topics about this, but they didn't provide a good solution. All they discussed was the hardware of the computer. I have enough space available and render to a NTFS drive.
Please can someone help me with this!Yes! I just solved my own problem. I still think that the internet doesn't provide an easy to find answer, so I will post this.
I had the latest version of Quicktime, but this version causes the problem. After some searching I finally found a page on the Apple website that confirms this.
Updating to QuickTime 7.4 may cause issues while rendering footage in Adobe After Effects - Apple Support
So I uninstalled my latest version of Quicktime and installed version 7.4.1. Everything works now the way it's supposed to!
