CanI use swf files made w/ Flash 8 that include FLVPlayBack comp

I am porting an application from Flash 8 to Flex that
includes a number of videos (FLV).
In Flash 8 I am using the FLVPlayBack component to be able to
include the available skins. In particular the
MojaveExternalAll.swf.
I tried to load the swf that inlcudes the FLVPlayBack
component and the skin, but I only get the video (stopped at the
first frame and no skin).
Is there a method to use those skins, or are they equivalent
video skins in Flex?

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.

Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

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?

How to use swf file for Spark Skin

Hi all
I have little confuse about how to use swf file with Spark Skin,
in Flex3 , i use Flex Skin Design Extension for Flash to deal with skin ,
so basically , I just create a swf file and import to the project , then everything is ok
but , seem that not working in flex4 , spark skin.
1` I can't find the Flex Skin Design for the FlashCs4
2` I try to use FlashCs3 version to import the skin art to the project , but seemed not working.
3` I Google and check the Flex4 Help , seemed Spak skin need the Skin-Class , which I don't know how to use that with swf file
what I have searched is how to use FXG , or some jpg file in that skin class, none of them are use swf file.
so , is there any way that let user use the swf file to deal with the skin?
is the Flex Skin Design can use in Flex4?
Thanks

Hello,
I'm new to Flex, but have come to it from Flash Pro. I'd like to know the same thing. I think I found the answer here:
http://www.flashallys.com/blog/spark-button-skinning-with-flash-symbols/
However my question is now: Is this a good approach to use?
99% of the googling I've done tells me to skin components with fxg files. I've tried that by creating graphics and exporting from flash, but using swfs containing lots of graphics is much faster so I'd rather use that.
The other thing I've done is to create custom components using these helpful tutorials:
Creating component in flash:
http://www.webkitchen.be/2008/12/12/video-tutorial-make-flex-components-with-flash-cs4/
Dealing with Resizing with method overrides for your flash component:
http://www.psyked.co.uk/flex/creating-flex-components-the-easy-way-for-flash-ide-converts. htm
This allows me the flexibility of Flash Pro design with the layout, transistions, data binding etc from Flex.
So my question is: Is this approach (skinning spark components with swfs, and using custom swc components made in flash) a bad idea for any reason? E.g. does it create slow mobile apps?
Cheers

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.

Illustrator shows BG error when importing ai files made in Flash

Hello Everyone!
I've been using Flash for a couple of years now... I use it
mostly for designing fashion graphics (!!!). I know that
Illustrator is excellect for creating artwork, but I am a big Flash
fan and can't help it :) Of course, I have to use Illustrator from
time to time which makes it a bit tricky when importing modified
Flash files.
I export Flash files as AI ones, but encounter numerous
errors while opening such files in Illustrator. I think the problem
is with the Color settings. Flash uses RGB, and CMYK is
Illustrator's default settings. When I try to export a graphic
symbol (with layers, groups of objects and simple shapes) from
Flash Professional as an AI file, it always exports as Illustrator
6.0 version (wonder why)... Then I try to open this file in
Illustrator CS2 and always get a "BG" error message which is
similar to this one:
Can't open illustration. The illustration doesn't have the
correct number of operands for an operator.
Offending operator: "Bg"
Contex:
Bb
0000 Bh
1.0.0.000819.20.....etc. (lots of figures)...Bg
So after getting such a message and pressing "OK" there are 2
possible results:
1. The program (Illustrator CS2) opens a blank artboard
(stage) with absolutely NO objects or symbols on it.
2. The program opens an incomplete graphic on the artboard
(stage) with many missing objects and shapes (say, if I exported a
graphic with 2 layers, the top layer will be missing).
Unfortunately, these are the most common results....Though a
few days ago I hkept several AI files open and tried to export an
AI file made in Flash. To my greatest surprise Illustrator could
open the file with absolutely everything I exported from Flash!!!
Except for Bitmap fills, of course....But everything else was just
perfect! I was amazed no end!
Like an idiot I didn't save the file, and the next day I
spent 2 hours trying to get the same result...which I didn't. Never
did since then...Though I used the same graphic over and over...
So my question is...What settings should I have in order to
be able to open AI files exported from Flash? If I got it once, it
means it is possible to open such files...
I would greatly appreciate if anybody could help me find a
way out of this situation. I have to use Illustrator more often
now, and I need my artwork to be convered to AI files without
significant modifications or corrections... Is it doable?
Thank you so much in advance!!
Ella

Did you ever find a solution to this?
I need to export characters from Flash files to use in Illustrator, but I keep getting "offending operator bg" messages.

SWF File in Adobe Flash Player

I've created a flash animation (the backgroung is moving horizontally and vertically according to the movement of the mouse), the problem is that when I open my SWF file in Adobe Flash Player 10.0 the whole animation is shaking. (In Adobe Flash in preview mode it looks fine)
Any ideas how to fix this ?

Hi,
When you mean by shaking does it mean that the animation does not run smooth or it actually cuts frames? You might want to check if the same thing happens to the animation if you export it as an html(File--> Preview--> HTML). If that is happening it can be three things:
Video Card Driver problem: maybe update your video card drivers or something might be going on with the video rendering software
Computer Speed(which I really don't think)
Flash Driver problems: try uninstalling the flash player program and installing the latest version(I also don't think you will have problems there)
Hope this helps you,

Captivate 5 – using swf files as buttons.

hi there
I am currently using adobe 'captivate 5'
I would really like to include navigational left to right buttons that are animated not static.
I have created animated button (swf files) that I have put into the 1st slide in captivate but there appears to be no way of turning the swf file into a proper button that makes you click from the 1st slide to the 2nd??.
Is there any action script that could solve this problem?
any help would be much appreciated!
thanks
matt

Captivate's default answer to this problem is that you have to add a clickbox over the top of the animation to listen for the click and then go to next slide.
But there is a better way, try out the Button.swf widget that comes with Captivate 5. It's a Static Widget, which means that unlike an Interactive widget you can set its timing to be Rest of Project, meaning that it will appear on each and every slide. You can change the button text inside the widget.
So just by placing this button on your first slide, and then another Back button on the second slide, and setting both to time for Rest of Project you'll have forward and back buttons on all slides that work.
You can use the preset graphics provided with the button, or set it to use your own image by adding the image into the published file and citing its name in the field provided.
All in all this is a very handy little widget.

Can I download the stand-alone Flash Player that does not need a browser? I have ver 11.5 r502 that I d/l last year; would like a newer release.

Can I download the stand-alone Flash Player that does not need a browser? I have ver 11.5 r502 that I d/l last year (11 Feb 2013); would like a newer release.
Can't find much about the standalone viewer, except in the Flash Builder docs, which says a .swf can specify to use it. I can't find a download link.
Thanks, Doug

You can download the standalone player (Projector) from https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you need to make the .swf file association manually.

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.

OnClick event in swf file stops a WMP movie that is being play

Hi
When placed in the same page - onclick event in a swf file
stops a WMP movie that is being play.
I've tryied to add another div with ontop positioning. but it
didn't work.
I've added a dlear image and it worked but the SWF mouseover
and mouseclick events disappeared.
Can someone help me?
PS - it happens only on IE.
Thanks.

Hi Alden,
I fear your problem might be the file size (system resources,
actually) of your project. And if that is the case, it will
adversely affect your end users as well, so best find our
definitively right away. But let's assume for a minute that the
file size is
not causing the problem ...
Are there any interactive object(s) on the 33rd slide (or
thereabouts) that might be causing the project to stop - like a
button, click-box, or text-entry box???
A 48 slide movie is not (in and of itself) overly large, so
hopefully you can find some overlooked object that is causing the
problem...

How can I update the "basic" Adobe Flash Player that is in my Samsung Smart TV?

How can I update the "basic" Adobe Flash Player that is in my Samsung Smart TV?

Any update would come from Samsung, but in low-margin products like TVs, it's pretty uncommon for OEMs to provide ongoing maintenance over a large span of years. You may find that you'll get a better experience from a dedicated streaming box like ChromeCast/Roku/etc.

Can we publish swf file made with InDesign in .exe?

I made a SWF file with InDesign. I would like to publish it in .exe? Is it possible?

What version of FlashPro are you using? If you want a self contained app that doesn't load external resources, publish an AIR app, which will work on Windows or OSX. I'm using OSX so I can't really help with .exe projector files, but it looks like the latest version of FlashPro no longer outputs projector files—I think everything is AIR now.
If you really want to go the projector route, I'm guessing Jeffrey Smith's suggestion of finding an older version of Flash Player would be simpler.
So for AIR, set your Publishing target to AIR for Desktop. Then under File>AIR settings:
Output as: Application with runtime embedded
Include files: Add all of your resources—the swf ID generated and it's resource folder
In the Signature tab click New to create a self-signing Certificate (if you were developing commercial software you would need a third party certificate). You can save the certificate anywhere.
When you publish you should find an AIR application file (.app) file in the directory with your .fla
