Can I import Director movies into Flash?

Hi,
Can Flash handle Director movies? I am making a presentation
of my artworks in Flash environment; I have both Flash and Director
movies. I know that I can import all my swf movies into Director
MX2004 to create a standalone projector and play both swf an ddir
movies. Does it work for the reverse?
Thanks
Uti

No, you can't import or display Director movies in Flash in
any way. Best
you can do is launch the Director executable from the Flash
movie, though
how you do this depends on which version of Flash you are
using.

  • Importing Director movies into Flash

    My short Q, which I suspect is a FAQ though it doesn't appear
    on the Director or Flash FAQs on the Macromedia (sorry, Adobe ;-))
    site, is: how can you import Director movies (source .dir, or
    published .dcr) into a Flash movie?
    I had thought this would be simple, that Flash would have an
    import filter for Shockwave movies, as after all both products come
    from the same stable and you can import .swf movies into Director,
    but not so, at least in my copy of Flash 8. Neither can Director
    export as a .swf - the only export format that might just work is
    .avi but I'm damned if I want to create a big video file just to
    reuse a snippet from a Director movie. I did a quick Google search
    for DCR->SWF converters but couldn't see anything obvious to
    use.
    The reason I'm bothered about this is that we've produced a
    lot of e-learning material in Director (a good third of our
    learning objects at
    http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/nursing/sonet/rlos/rlolist.html
    use Shockwave movies) and although we've now moved on to Flash,
    occasionally we want to be able to reuse snippets from Director
    movies in Flash movies. It would be disappointing, to put it
    mildly, were we not able to move content between software
    applications produced by the same company...
    TIA for any answers/suggestions.

    I feel your pain an don't know what's going to happen with
    Director now that Adobe is involved.
    You mentioned that you could export as avi, could you copy
    the scenes in which you want to use into a new director file,
    export that as an avi and conver t that to an flv?
    Just a thought.

  • Can we import a Director movie into Flash ?

    I'm exploring a possibility of importing a Director movie into Flash or if it is possible to import a published Director movie into Flash.
    Anticipating your reply....
    Thanks,

    As I may have mentioned in the other thread where you asked this, No.  You can not.  You can import a flash swf into Director but you can not import anything from Director into Flash.

  • How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done?

    How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC. 

    No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either.  It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected.  VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  All of which cannot be opened or selected.
    Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC.  Is that the same?  Thank you for your time and response.

  • Can't Import Sound Clip into Flash CS6

    I clipped a song using Audition and added a fade. I exported it to MP3.
    I need to import that clip into Flash. I tried: FILE>IMPORT>IMPORT TO LIBRARY
    It read: Couldn't Import (file name)
    I tried to convert the sound clip to a .wav file and ran into the same problem.
    I tried to drag and drop into the library. Same problem.
    I am a novice at Flash. This is for a school assignment. It worked in class but not at home. I am using WINDOWS 8.1 and have a creative cloud version of flash (which I THINK is CS6).
    Suggestions?

    Fix: I converted it to a .wav file and everything was a-ok.

  • Integrate Director Movie into Flash CS5

    Hi,
    I have couple of interactive media pieces created in Director MX 2004. I would like to know if the latest Flash CS5 can handle
    Director Movies. Kindly advise the best way to create  a portfolio (consisting of Dorector and Flash Movies) that can be showcased in a website
    as well as in a CD-R.
    Also, a tutorial or direction to creating an Adobe Director website whereby the swf movies can be integrated would be useful.
    Any direction would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    You cannot place a Director file inside a Flash - you can put Flash into Director, but not the opposite.

  • Can't import Quicktime .mov into iMovie 10

    Is it possible to import a Quicktime movie into iMovie 10?  I used to be able to do this with iMovie 9 but cannot get it to work with 10.  I can drag it into an event but no clips show up.   I can't believe that Apple would require a 3rd party product to get this to work. 
    As a separate rant, you used to be able to edit clips directly in Quicktime but Apple removed this functionality a while back; ie. deleting parts of clips rather than just trimming from the ends.  It is getting tougher and tougher to do basic editing even if you stay within the Apple ecosystem...

    .mov can contain a variety of different movie formats not all of which are importable into iMovie 10.  Try playing it in Quicktime player 10 - does it say it has to convert?   If it converts it, the resultant file should import into iMovie 10 OK.  see: OS X Mavericks: Some files may be converted when opened in QuickTime Player - Apple Support
    In Quicktime 10 the way to do this is to split a movie into clips and trim each clip as required.  These can then be imported into iMovie and joined as part of a project.  See:  QuickTime Player 10.x: Rearrange your movie’s content
    Quicktime 7 Pro (which does allow removing 'middle' parts of a movie) still works in Yosemite

  • Can't import mx.graphics into Flash CS6

    I'm use both Flash CS6 and Flash Builder 4.6.  In FB I can import mx.graphics.* into an .as file with no problem, but in Flash only mx.core is recognized.  How can I access mx.graphics in Flash?  Many thanks.

    Maybe try looking for third-party efforts, such as A Better PNG Encoder for Flash or actionscript 3 - AS3 PNG Encoder? - Stack Overflow

  • Can you import QuickTime movies into iMovie?

    I am planning to edit PowerPoint slides into video footage of a live presentation. Some PPT slides have animations that I'd like to preserve, so I made movies of selected slides. When I try to import them, I get Unknown Error. After the fact, I went to the Help menu. QuickTime isn't on the list of file formats that can be imported. Am I out of luck, or does someone have a workaround?

    H264 is one example of a codec used in MPEG-4 video encoding. Windows Media is a codec. Sorenson is a codec. DVPRO is ...etc....
    Play a source video file and do a get info on it and tell me what the audio and video details are.

  • Can't import iphoto movies into imovie 08

    The first time I launched iMovie 08 it imported the movies I made with my still camera from iPhoto. Some time later iMovie asked me to import some new movies from iPhoto I added. I did not want to wait for this process so I canceled. I thought it would be easy to import them later. Now I am trying to do this but it is just not working.
    I would prefer to have these movies in the iPhoto-Videos event. But it seems to be impossible.
    So I try to import them as normal movies. I can chose them and import them but they do not appear in the selected event.
    Does someone have ideas?

    Now I got it:
    I converted them with "MPEG Streamclip" software and then imported to iMovie without any problems.
    The movies from iTunes iMovie can handle came from my Nokia N93 cell phone and not from my digital still camera.

  • Can you import Quicktime movies into Final Cut Pro X

    I have a one week old Macbook Pro retina which replaces my old iMac 24 with Snow Leopard. After my purchase, I found out that Mountain Lion will not support FCE 4. The problem is that I have a lot of unfinished FCE projects and a lot of video clips that were imported using Final Cut Express 4 "Log and transfer" on my external drive. I was going to purchase Final Cut Pro X and edit them on  my new computer but first I was going to convert them to Quicktime videos. So my question is, can I open Ouicktime movies for editing in Final Cut Pro X? Or perhaps someone has aneasier way for me to achieve what I am trying to do.
    Thanks in advance........

    all of the videos that I imported using "Log and transfer" will only open in FCE 4.
    Do you mean the media in the capture scratch folder? These don't open in any other application? Not in the QuickTime player?
    If you mean the FCE project files, that's correct they will only open FCE4 or FCP7.

  • Can't import an Image into flash

  • I can't import Quicktime movies into FCE 4?

    Hi, I'm trying to import an eight second Quicktime movie (that I made in the new Motion 5) into Final Cut Express 4. When I try to import it, a message pops up saying "Error: Unknown File." Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

    FCE works with two types of QuickTime codecs: DV and AIC.  When you exported the file from Motion 5, which of those two did you use?

  • Why I can't import AI files into Flash CC?

    I used to work with CS5 and I had no problem importing files, but with the CC version, simply the images didn't appear... I don't understand why.
    Should I change something in preferences? It seems as if Flash doesn't recognise the ai files

    Test out if you can directly copy ai files to the clipboard and paste it in flash.
    There should pop up a dialogue, where you get 4 options.
    The first one will convert the ai to bmp., which you rarely want.
    the lower three imports the drawing as vector.
