Can I import a swf file (created in FC) into Flash?

Can I import a swf file (created in FC) into Flash?
...also, do you need Flash Player 10 to play these files?

Just did some testing here, and Flash Professional definitely does not like Catalyst projects. Importing to the stage failed silently (gotta love that), while Import to Library appeared to work - I got a MovieClip in my library. However, the clip is empty. I'd guess it is as Chris said, having to do with the fundamental differences in the Flex framework from the way Flash Pro works.
As this did spark my curiosity, I decided to give loading the Catalyst-created project into a Flash Pro project at runtime using ActionScript. I was able to at least get the Catalyst content to appear through this method, but the effects (in this case, a simply button with a Rotate3D effect applied) was a mess.
So the simple answer is "no".

How can I import a .swf file in Adobe Flash CS4?

Hi,
How can I import a .swf file in Adobe Flash CS4?
Thanks.

you can use file/import but that would be a mistake.
you should "load" your swf, not import it.
if you want to load it and need help, are you using as2 or as3?

Can't Import large .avi file from digital camera into iPhoto 08

I have a digital camera with a 4GB SD card. I was shooting video and have several small .avi files on the card and one large .avi file (2.67 GB) on the same card. I did not have a problem importing the small files. iPhoto hung while trying to import the large file. I read in this forum that I should use Image Capture, which I tried. When I used Image Capture on the smaller files (just to see how it worked), my camera would flash while it was transferring. When I tried Image Capture on the large file, the camera did not flash and after about 20 minutes, there didn't seem to be anything going on with the transfer. I also tried an old card reader through Image Capture, and that didn't work either. Should Image Capture be able to handle this size file? Do you know of any way to break up the large file into smaller files on the SD card? What am I missing? Thanks!

Canon's cameras do not mount on the Desktop. It's a 'feature' of the brand.
There are several possibilities for Image Capture - including minor directory damage on the card etc. The only solution is get the card to mount, and that means a recent Card Reader.

Import an FLV file from Adobe Connect into Premiere Elements 12?

The Adobe Connect support staff recommended that we use Adobe Premiere Elements to edit the FLV file that we exported out of their software. We purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 12 based on that advice. Now we see that FLV files are not on the list of supported import files.
How can I import an FLV file from Adobe Connect into Adobe Premiere Elements 12 for editing?

Welcome to the forum.
Over the years, I have used Moyea's Flash Importer plug-in for PrPro, and it has worked perfectly. With about PrPro CS 4, IIRC, Adobe did add an FLV Importer, so Moyea began to suspend development of that plug-in. Then, with the release of the CC version of PrPro, they dropped FLV completely.
Now, Moyea does have other programs, but I do not know if any of them are plug-ins for PrE. However, many of their programs can create, edit and output FLV.
There is also a (free, if memory serves) FLV converter, FLV to AVI, which I used to convert FLV files, before I discovered the Moyea plug-in for my PrPro.
I would look into Moyea, to see if there is anything, that will work as a plug-in to PrE, http://www.video-to-flash.com/products/, and if not, explore a program, such as FLV to AVI: http://www.pazera-software.com/products/flv-to-avi-converter/
Good luck,

I'm creating an epk and I need to add a bio to the menu. Can I import the text file or do I need to retype the bio somewhere? What is the best way to proceed?

I'm creating an epk and I need to add a bio to the menu. Can I import the text file or do I need to retype the bio somewhere? What is the best way to proceed?

Electronic Press Kit.
Usually in the form of video outtakes, movie trailers, cast and crew interviews. Basically, the stuff that gets bunged onto commercial DVDs as extras or ends up on late night TV "Making Of..." shows.
To answer the OP, you want a button on the menu that leads to a still image, or series of them, set up as a slide show. You can copy/paste the text in DVD Studio and then add formatting via the Text menu. (Highlight the text and right click to access formatting controls). Or do it in a graphics application using the appropriate video image preset.

How to import a text file created in Pages (iWork '08) to Photoshop Elements

I am totally a novice at working with Photoshop Elements. I need help. I want to create my business card in Photoshop Elements with a background image and then a text layer over the background layer. The logo and text was created in Pages (iWork '08). Can I import this text file to Photoshop Elements and if so how do I do that? I cannot create the same logo in Elements unless someone can tell me how to draw a circle with a transparent background so that just the outline of the circle shows and the background comes through. Thanks for any help you can offer. I have OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and Photoshop Elements 6.

In PSE, to draw an empty circle use the elliptical marquee tool and hold down shift while you drag to constrain it to a circle. That will give you an empty selection, then go to Edit>Stroke (outline) selection. A window appears where you can choose the width and color of the stroke.
However, I'm not understanding why you would want to create your business card in PSE rather than in Pages or equivalent. Is there a special reason for this?
EDIT As for the text file, it would be simpler just to retype it in PSE, since it can't be very much text. Remember that PSE doesn't do all the fancy things with text that Pages can, although it can do some things (like warping) that Pages can't.
You could activate the text tool and use copy/paste, but you'll lose most of the formatting.

Captivate 2.0 Very Buggy After Import of SWF File (Flash 8)??

Where should I begin...
Issue 1
I just updated to Cap 2 and started using it. I have come
across a few very weird issues. Everyting works fine until I import
a swf file to the stage. After I import a swf file to the stage I
realize I made a mistake in the swf file. So I updated the swf in
Flash 8 and publish it. I then went into Cap 2 and tried to update
the file (which I noticed that the update button has been removed.)
When I go to import and import the updated file, it does not update
it. I had to close the program and reboot before it would recognize
the new file??? Sounds like a caching issue of some sorts, but very
buggy in my eyes.
Issue 2
So now I have the new file in... great! But when I try to use
one of the drop down menus from the top tool bar, the menu
disappears immeditly after I have clicked on it??? The only way to
get my menu's back is to close the program and reopen it.
Issue 3
I just recently found another problem... I was trying to work
with Cap 2 in its crazy state, and I pulled one of the bars on the
timeline torwards the end of the screen and the timeline
disappeard??? So I went to view and clicked timeline... no change.
Now I do not have a timeline??? I have tried running a reapir and I
even tried several different new projects with different swf files
to see if it was just that file and I have the same results.
Sorry so lengthly on my issues but this just sucks and I need
help!! Anybody got any ideas!??
Thank you!!

Hi SaSQuaCh69247,
Issue 1 :- Select the SWF file in library, right click, and
select update.
Issue 2 :- Actually it could be valid for Issue 1 also. It
seems like SWF file you are trying to import, does some action
like, importing another swf or connecting to server on the first
frame itself. Captivate will try to play the first frame of SWF
when you import them. Try creating a keyframe with the stop action
as the first frame in your SWF, and see if you still have the
issue.
Issue 3 :- The approach I am mentioning over here is
generally the last approach which I will take in such scenerios,
but since you have already experimented a little, so try this.
Go to C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application
Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
Rename captivate_v20.dat as captivate_v20_org.dat.
Restart Captivate Application.
thanks

Can't import an xml file

Hi,
I am using Captivate 5.5 on Windows. I have an .swf file which needs to have an xml file with it in order for it to behave the way in which it was intended. The developer has said that the two files need to be included in the same folder.
I have no problem importing the swf file however I can't import the xml file which is called flashParams.xml. I have been editing the xml file in windows notepad and it is working perfectly outside Captivate. However when i try to import the xml, I get the message 'Cannot import XML'. I have been using File/Import/from xml to get the file loaded but no luck. I have also tried dragging it into the library but no luck here either.
Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong and how they would approach what surely must be a very simple task.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Rod,
Thanks for the reply.
I think what I could do is to launch the swf by clicking on a link in the Captivate session to an external url (it will be hosted on Moodle). The one problem I have is that when I do this in Captivate, the slide refuses to pause and moves onto the next slide. What I would like is for the user to be able to click on the link for the url and for the slide to pause until the user clicks on a next button to go to the next slide.

Can't import any .psd files into after effects.

Hello all.
I was using CS5 master collection without issue, for a year.
Decided to upgrade to the CS6 master collection and that’s when the problems began.
For example, I can’t import any .psd files into AE.
All files are saved in RGB mode.
The previous files were made on CS5.
I made a new .psd file in CS6 with just a couple of layers on it, couldn’t import that either.
I’ve tried Ctrl-alt-shift to delete preferences, that had limited success. I can import a file and do a little bit of work on it but as soon as I close the file down and opened it up again, it does not recognise the .psd file.
The errors I’m getting in AE are many
For example:
After Effects warning: Reading past end of file
After Effects error: Could not open intro.psd because it is not a valid Photoshop document
After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message:<8104><dynamiclink><5>C:\ProgramFiles\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\Adobe Premiere Pro exe
After Effects error: Not enough memory to initialise PSL
I have un-installed and re-installed many times.
I’m using Windows 8, with 32ram. Hard drives C: 100mg, D: 2 Tb
I’ve tried installing on both drives, still the same thing happens.
Does anyone out there in Adobe Land have any ideas?
Totally confused
Cheers,
Gary.

Hi Arie,
Thanks for your response.
It actually happens with every .psd file regardless of size or specs.
All the other programs in the CS6 master collection work fine, except for AE and PS.
I tried the small file. Created a small file, 100 px by 100px 72dpi, just with a gradient background. Same thing, not enough memory to initialise PSL.
I got the adobe cleaner, and re-installed on my system (again) .... same thing.
As long as I open AE with doing ctrl-alt-shift every single time or export layers from PS individually I seem to be OK.
The problem is far from solved, so I guess i just have to put up with workarounds.
Thanks for taking the time to respond

Can I edit a file created in Swish with Flash

Can I import a .swf, .swi or .sbk file into Flash CS3 and
edit it and save as Flash. I'm so over Swish.... but I don't want
to rework the file.
If not, does anyone know if I can save the file to a Flash
compatible file type within Swish and then open successfully in
Flash to edit and work with going forward.
Thanks.

Only if it's exported in a compatible format, such as Keynote '09.

How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the fonts?

How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the original fonts? An AI file was created with an image and text on a MAC. When the AI file was opened on a PC, the text fonts were not the same as originally created. Also, the same AI file was saved to PDF on the MAC. When the AI file was opened on a PC, there wasn't anything visible. Anyone have any ideas?

Are you using the save version of Illustrator on both Mac and PC? If so, and you have the same fonts installed on both machines you should be able to open it without any problems. You may need to tell it which fonts to assign, they are not always named the same. If you don't need to edit the text, you could convert the text to outline and eliminate the need for fonts.

How can I import an ibook file back into iBook Author?

I exported an ebook from iBook Author thinking it is the equivalent of saving the file.
I did not save the file, I only exported it and than exited the program.
My active file is vannished.
I need to make some adjustments to the ebook, but can not bring it back up.
Is there a way that I can re-import the iBook file back into iBook Author?
When I open iBook Author and try to open the exported file the program does not recognise the ibook file...
Thanks for your help!

Check for previous versions of that book in iBA....even if not saved.
You can dig into the .ibooks file by changing the suffix to zip, but you'll have to manually extract what you can from assets you find. Please only do this with your own books.
