Can't import files to Flash? (Mac)

(This is my first forum article anywhere so keep that in mind)
I'm trying to make a Flash animation in Flash CC 2014, but all my files that should be importable are unselectable and the ones that shouldn't are. And they probably don't even work! Plus there are no up-to-date articles on the internet so I can't figure this out that way. What should I do? I need to be able to do this soon. Please help!

you can't edit the video in flash.  you should check adobe's premiere pro if you want to edit videos.
one the other hand, to a limited extent  (eg, you want to add objects/text over or adjacent to your video), you can make it appear that videos are edited in flash by either
a. import the flv/f4v to a flash pro timeline and add objects in layers above (or adjacent to) the video.  (upside: no actionscript needed.  downside: loss of video fidelity with importing)
b. use cuepoints added to the video (can be done in ame and in flash pro) and use actionscript to trigger the additional of objects above or adjacent to your video.  (upside and downside the opposite of above)

  • I can't import files from my mac to my external hard drive on a mac. Works on Windows

    I used OS X Mountain Lion and Windows 7. I bought an External Hard Drive Several Years Ago. I can't import files on it, just read it. In Windows i can read and write it. I want to upgrade my OS X Mountain Lion to OS X Mavericks. I am afraid that i will lose all of my files. Please help

    That is because the external drive you are using is formatted in the Windows NTFS format, which is fine for Windows.
    OS X can READ files from that format but can NOT Write to that format. If you want to use that external drive with both Windows and Mac OS X you will need to reformat it in a format that both Windows and OS X can Read from and Write to.
    Those would be FAT32, in OSX it is called MS-DOS (FAT), or exFAT. You do that formatting in either OS X Disk Utility or Windows Disk Management.

    Let's try to deal with the sharing issue first. Your new problem is very common under Snow. However, it turns up with different timing in an idiosyncratic way.
    At first, my shares did not show up under shared in finder windows. I, then, of course, used "Connect to Server" to connect to the shares--both Mac and PC. I found that the more I kept the shares active the more likely they were show up under shared. Then, I discovered that if I kept the computers from sleeping during the period of needed access they would tend to stay in shared without nearly so much keeping the connections active.
    If you do not like the above work around, then there are two other possibilities. You can elect to show mounted items on your desktop. Do that and connect to each share. Then, go > users > unlock > + login options > try dragging the mounted shares to the login item window. If successful, then the shares should be available at login.
    Another approach is to mount and connect as indicated above. Then, making an alias to the share should at least make things faster.

  • How can I import files from a windows environment?

    I am used to a pc environment.  How can I import files ie. PDF, excel, word onto my iPad?  I imagine that this is done through ITunes but am unsure how?  Are there iPad versions of say Microsoft office that need to be used?

    I use Documents to Go, a program that will open all the file types you listed. With its purchase you also get access to a desktop program that allows you to wirelessly sync documents between computers and your device, without going through iTunes.
    The other ways to get data onto your device
    Mail it to yourself and then save it to (send it to) the app from the e-mail.
    Use iTunes to sync the data into the app that will open it.
    Use an online service like Dropbox or others. You put the data 'out there' on your PC, then access it on your iPad and save it into the app.
    One thing to remember, the iPad is different from Windows and Macs in one fundamental way. There is no 'windows explorer' or 'finder' for the iPad. The operating system doesn't have access to the whole device and everything on it. Instead you have apps that access bits and pieces of the system and have limited ways to share data across apps.
    Think of it as World War Two French Resistence.....all these different groups (apps) working on the same device, but most if not all of them have very limited ways to discuss/contact each other. The apps are 'sandboxed' in that they have limited contact with other apps. So the easiest way to deal with various file types is to find the app that handles that kind of file and use that.

  • How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad, e.g., mp4 files.  Do I have to use iTunes?

    How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad in an easier way?  I'd like to put some movies on, and I can use iTunes, but is there another way?  I have transferred epub books using Dropbox.  Movies eat up a lot of dropbox space and the iPad has trouble getting them.

    USB disk. You still have to go through iTunes.
    Connect device to computer/mac
    Select your device in iTunes menu.
    Apps...
    At thebottom of the page you will see the app.
    Select it and the Add for windows and + for mac
    Hope that helped.
    In the long run there is no way to access or uplood data on your device without iTunes unless you JailBrake....

  • I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone?  Thanks!

    iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store.  To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

  • Can I import iWork from my Mac, which has Snow Leopard, to my MacBook Air, which has Mountain Lion?

    Can I import iWork from my Mac, which has Snow Leopard, to my MacBook Air, which has Mountain Lion?
    I would appreciate any advice on the intricacies of operating with Snow Leopard on my main computer and Mountain Lion on my MacBook Air.

    I'm not sure there are any intricacies except you can't use iCloud to keep the two things synced. It would be mostly contacts, Safari bookmarks, Calendars, notes, etc.
    Also, iCloud allows saving iWork documents in the Cloud, so you can access them on both systems. That would not be available for the old Mac.
    The two OSes are similar enough that it wouldn't be too difficult to work between the two, but there will be differences in using the Finder (contextual menu changes)
    I thought I would have more, but I've been off Snow Leopard for so long now, I'll leave this for someone who is currently operating like that or recently switch to Mountain Lion from SL.

  • After Effects error: Can't import file "(FILE TITTLE)" unsupported filetype or extension

    Hello so I was working with AE3 for 2 years and i had no problems with it but.. when i reinstall my windows and install AE3 with same installation file as always i was using.. and  I got problem. When i try to import AVI or wmv or other video clips except mov format I getting this error "After Effects error: Can't import file "(FILE TITTLE)" unsupported filetype or extension".. i tried everything: 3 different installs of AE3 but nothing always same.. so decided this is windows problem so I installed new one  with SP3 but i got same problem then I tried it on SP2 but still same problem.. So i installed windows7 and my AE3 was working but i didn't liked a windows 7 and i back on xp SP3 and guess what guys? yes! i got same error again on AE3. I don't know guys what to do. Can you help me?

    I assume that you mean "After Effects CS3". After Effects 3 came out more than a decade ago.
    Do you have QuickTime Player installed? After Effects requires QuickTime to be installed to import some file types.
    Could you be explicit about exaclty what files you have tried to import? Even giving file names might help. For example, this error has been seen when the characters used in the file name were non-standard characters (e.g., this thread).
    When you re-installed Windows, did you also re-install any codecs that you may have previously had on the system?

  • Can I transfer files from a Mac and PC that are both on my wireless LAN?

    I've a number of Macs connected to my Wirelesss LAN and also have a PC (Windows XP) that I want to connect to the network. That isn't going to be a problem but I want to know if I can then move files from the "Mac environment" onto the PC.
    If it's possible, how is it done?
    Regards,
    Cliff

    Yes. Just enable the file/folder sharing for each computer. They'll treat it as a network share. I did need to set the options for the Mac folders to use SMB for the PC to see it.

  • How can i import files to trial version LR5.6? Message:Your disk "MobileBackups", to which you are importing images, is low on space.

    how can i import files to trial version LR5.6

    I currently am up to about 65,000 images cataloged in LR. I backup on launch several times a week and have used the "relaunch and optimize" function periodically as well. I am a bit reluctant to do anything aggressive as, even though I have encountered this warning 6 or 7 times in the past 4-5 months or so I have never had to shut down. I have emptied the recycle bin (which, as I mentioned, usually has very little in it) and then I continue and notice no impairment of function. So at present it represents more of an annoyance and a bit of a mystery only. Maybe I will just report this to Adobe and sit tight unless someone can see an obvious explanation and correction here.
    I appreciate all of the input and advice I have received already.

  • After effects error: can't import file unsupported filetype...

    When I try to import my files from my Canon EOS 550D into AE it gives me this error-essage: "after effects error: can't import file unsupported filetype..." I recently updated my quicktime and stuff, but what should that do? I could import the files before though.

  • If i use a usb flash drive which is both os and windows compatible can i transfer files from my mac to a windows pc using the same usb flash drive?

    if i use a usb flash drive which is mac os and windows compatible can i use it to copy files from the mac to a windows machine. i have to do some training abroad and wnat to take the files on a usb from the mac but they will only have a windows operating system available to me.

    Generally, it's not the flash drive that makes it compatible, but the formatting used on it.  In Disk Utility on a Mac, the format is called MS-DOS (FAT).  In Windows, I believe it is called FAT32.
    A USB flash drive formatted that way should be readable and writable on both Mac OS X and Windows.  But you may want to try a "trial run" before relying on it for the trip.
