Can we import a SWF (catalyst) inside a flash movie.

Example :
loadMovie("MyCatalyst.swf", ...)
I'm trying doing that but nothing comes up !
Thank you

Yes you can. The first thing is when you publish your project, make sure that you choose the "Build to view offline" option. This will roll all the Flex Framework into the resulting swf. This will be mean your resulting swf will be larger. Also note that your FLA must use ActionScript 3.
Here is some sample code to load the swf into your Flash Professional project.
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var url:String = "Main.swf"; //The Catalyst made swf
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
ldr.load(urlReq);
addChild(ldr);
Hope this helps.

  • 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 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".

  • Can I import an MP4 or FLV to Flash and make it an editable .fla file?

    Can I import an MP4 or FLV to Flash and make it an editable .fla file?

    Thanks for helping me.
    It's a vector animation that was made in flash and exported into a swf I believe and then posted on a website and on youtube. I have the mp4 ad the flv that I have converted from the online file using an online tool. I would like to use it as a base for my own video and just switch out some of the frames and characters/backgrounds - is that possible in Premier?

  • Please help, how to import a SWF (catalyst) from Flash Movie ?? Thank you

    it seems that lodMovie is not working with a target.
    Thank you

    Hello Tara,
    It's simple, I've developed an animation with Catalyst (took me 2 days...to learn a move forward) and i would like to use that animation inside a flash website. so i'm trying to load the Catalyst swf file animation inside my flash main movie without success !
    I"m tryin to do : loadMovie("catalyst_animation.swf", TargetA);  TargetA is an empty movie clip located a certain position.
    the loadMovie("catalyst_animation.swf", 0); is working but this is not what i want for a clear reason (loading inside and at a certain position).
    Thank you for our help.

  • How to put a video player swf file inside a flash file

    i want to know how i can put a flash file inside a flash wbsite. i have found a tutorial http://www.ehow.com/how_4906532_within-another-flash-swf-file.html that says something like that but in this tutorial if i understand correctly it creates a new flash project and add another swf inside. i have my website created and i just want to add video gallery, image gallery etc that are already swf. how i can do that?

    You can use swf inside of another swf.
    If you are using Actionscript2 then learn about LoadMovie
    And for AS3 it is Loader.

  • Can't import pic's when I save my movie to an external drive

    Hi,
    When my Movie is saved to my Macintosh HD I can import pic's with no problem from iPhoto through the media pane in iMovie. Then when I save the movie file to my external HD (becasue these movie files get so big) I can't import pic's anymore. The import files dialogue box shows up, then the pic flashes in the timeline for a split second and then it disappears, or it will show up in the timeline as an all black image, but no pic. It must be something to do with my external HD, but what? Are movie files in iMovie usually saved to external drives with no problems, or is this a common occurence? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Dylan
    PS. I have the latest version of iMovie HD

    Hey Sue,
    Thanks for the reply. The external drive is formatted MS-DOS File System (FAT32). I had to do this because I had problems with it at first when I was using it interchangeably with a Mac and a PC. When it was Mac formatted it wouldn't be compatible with my PC for some reason (or I could read files, but couldn't write - something like that). Any suggestions?
    Thanks again,
    Dylan

  • What should I do when I can't import mp3 audio files into my Flash library?

    The file is protected with DRM, encoded oddly or whatever. Try to convert it in an external program.

  • How can I remove the thin black border of Flash movie when viewed in a browser?

    There is a thin border at the top and left margins of my Flash movie when the .html is viewed in a browser. How can it be removed?
    Here's the movie.
    One solution suggests replacing some code, but the code they suggest replacing doesn't even exist in my html file.
    I have found questions similar to mine being asked all over different forums, but their solutions either don't work, or like the above, don't really apply. For such a common problem, finding the solution is getting a little frustrating.
    I'm using Flash CS3 on a Windows PC rrunning XP professional.

    Okay, I found the answer. It turns out that when I made the buttons in Flash (so the movie would have clickable links), the default stroke color was set to black. Change it to white and the outline is gone.
    As for appearing only on the top and left of the movie - for some reason the bottom and right is being cropped a bit when it's placed in to the html page. But that's a topic for a different discussion.

  • Is there a way to open swf's within a flash movie

    i want to change my website so that when you click a button
    on the flash movie it opens up a swf file in the flash but i want
    the swf to be in a seperate file from the flash, is this possible,
    if so how?

    very possible and very widely used for years - and a very
    well documented feature - it is called
    loadMovie - hit F1 and search the AS help docs for it - or go

  • Retrieve element path inside the flash movie

    Hi,
    I would like to refer to an element in a flash movie from the
    outside, to do it i need the element path inside the movie.
    for example i have a movie containing 4 frames, on the 4th
    frame in have movie clip called "mc1" that contains 3 frames, on
    the 3rd there is a movie clip called "mc2" that i should refer to
    it from the outside.
    To do it i need to go to frame 4 and then go to frame 3 in
    "mc1".
    Is there a simple way to retrieve this list of frames using
    jsfl, action script or any other script?
    Thanks
    Maya

    no, as long as the html file is not a valid XHTML file.
    You could load some html code from a text file and place it
    inside of a textfield with enabled html...if this is what you want
    to do.

  • How can I import a video and play on Flash with a click of a button?

    Basically I want to create a set of animation sequences on Maya and import them to Flash as avi or flv and then play the movie clip after a button is clicked, how can I do this?
    My idea is to create a multiple choice interactive game where the user has to select the right choices to get to the right ending which is why I need to know how to link buttons to movie clips and be able to stop them at the right time with more buttons and text being displayed for the next set of movie clips. 
    Also after the video is done being played do I just put a stop(); at the end of the Actionscript so the video stops and the choices (text) appear on the screen for the next video sequences?
    I know how to link a button to a scene or frame but I don't know how to link a button to a video or many video/movie clips....
    Thank you
    Also I may have other questions just pop into my head so if I edit and repeat a lot I'm sorry...

    Thanks but what if the clips are long and quite big in size?
    Put all he files separately from flash in the same folder as your swf and let the FlvPlayback Component load them when needed.
    Can I play a movieclip basically by the press of a button???
    Yes
    and does it have to be flv or can it be avi?
    you can use flv or f4v (f4v is recommended if the files are really long (+10 Minutes) no avi, mov or other container

  • How can i send my SWF for others (without Flash) to open?

    I have just finished making my interactive portfolio in Flash and after opening it in the SWF file it works perfectly. I now want to be able to E-Mail it to potential employers to see, but if they don't have Flash then they won't be able to open it with an SWF file. I tried setting the default program to open it with as Internet Explorer but have had all sorts of problems. Is there any easy way to be able to send them the file, and have them open it without having to sift through loads of unblock buttons or have the videos not play (two recent problem).
    Any help would be appreciated, many thanks

    Your best bet is to place the swf on a web page on a server and simply send links to the web page.  Having an online portfolio is often a must have for certain professions, such as web design and similar trades.
    Emailing an swf file may hit a security wall on some servers.  A potential employer may not appreciate the extra work they might have to follow thru with to deal with a file you send them if they do not have the software for viewing it on hand.
    If you do email the swf file to anyone, then they need the Flash Player to be able to play the file.  So you should probably include a link for them to the Adobe site where they can download a player that supports your file.

  • Importing another swf file into the flash-homepage (swf is a gallery)

    hi there!
    have a problem that i cant resolve myself ..
    i downloaded a free of use gallery from juliuswebdesign.com (this gallery) and i'm trying to load it in my flash site ..
    now, the gallery works if i open it directly (i open the swf file)
    BUT
    when i try to load the external swf file into my site
    loadMovie("image_gallery.swf", box);
    then the movie loads .. the gallery is displayed the message "loading xml file" displays and then when the xml is loaded the message "loading image 1/7" displays and only the first image loads.
    once the first image is loaded it will not be displayed (it remains outside of my swf file .. i can see it when i resize the window) and no other images will be loaded.
    if i open the gallery.sfw file again everything works fine .. the problem is only if i try to load the gallery.swf in another swf ..
    something must be wrong ..
    i tryed to opern the gallery.fla file and copt everything directly in my site and the problem remains the same .. only 1 image loaded and not displayed in the gallery ..
    i'ts like something in my site "blocks" the gallery beeing loaded..
    any suggestions?

    to the gallery's fla add the following and retest:
    this._lockroot = true;

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
    Nathan
