Color Shift When Importing JPG Sequence into Flash CS6

I am importing a jpg sequence into flash that has been exported from After Effects CS6. No matter what I try, the color will shift when the image imports into flash. The sequence originally started out as a vector graphic in Illustrator (color profile set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1) and then imported into After Effects for an animation that I couldn't quite achive in Flash. The color profile in After Effects is also sRGB IEC61966-2.1 with the "Match Legacy" checkbox checked. I export it out of After Effects as a JPG Sequence and then import into Flash. No matter what I try, the bitmap images' color will shift (become dull) when I import. Even when I open the images in Windows Photo Gallery, they look fine - it's only when I import into Flash. I've also tried PNG and .PSD Sequence with the same result. I've searched around, but still haven't found a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am in the midst of trying to figure out the opposite : Flash to After Effects. I am betting that this is an issue of 'color profile' attached to the images and the gamma settings in that profile. RGBA is only part of the story - color profile is all the rest of it. Eye Dropper doesn't tell you the color profile attached to the image.

Bad color shift when importing jpgs

Jpegs look great in Photoshop - lots of contrast. After import into Dir. 11, the color is washed out and faded and contrast is gone. Seems like I read about a solution long ago for a different version but can't find what is happening. What gives? TIA!
Dir11 / Mac 0s 10.5.8

I'd archived some stuff and I don't have a good sample to show at the moment. Most files I import look good, some don't. Will post when soon as the problem comes up again.
And I'm importing at 32bits - that's the only depth Director allows me. My monitor setting has always been millions of colors since I first used Dir back in the mid-90's. I've just been informed in another post there's only one way around this choice - changing monitor resolution.

Colour changes when importing Illustrator graphics into Flash CS3

Hi there!
I'm creating a Flash site, and all the graphics are imported
from Illustrator.
Also, in the Illustrator file, there are some Phtoshop
graphics with shadow effects on it.
The problem is, that when I import the .ai into Flash, a
pretty strong colour change occurs: everything becomes lighter. And
the shadow, wich is black in Photoshop, turns white in Flash!
Is there a way to solve this problem? I searched the net, and
some people say it's an OSX thing, wich is pretty strange, because
Mac is an obvious choice for loads of designers.
I've attached an image preview.
Preview
Thanks in advance!
Alex

Thanks for the anwsers!
However, the weird thing is, when I pick one of the photoshop
graphics, asign the profile to it, and import it into Flash, the
colors look fairly good. BUT when I import the complete Illustrator
file with alle the graphics in it, I still get the color shift. I
can now put all the graphics in the flash file, one at a time, but
I think thats not the most easy way to do it..

When importing an image into Flash, the filesize is reported incorrectly

I saved an image from Photoshop using "Save for Web" and managed to bring the filesize down to 56.5kb. When I import this image into Flash and click on the properties, the reported "Original" filesize is 1884.6kb which is a heck of a lot more. How can I import the image and retain the filesize without having to compress the image further causing a horrible quality image?

right click one of your bitmaps, click properties and tick "allow smoothing". retest.

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.

Issue when importing ai files into Flash

Okay I have an Adobe Illustrator CS4 file that I am trying to import into Flash CS4. The file is fine in illustrator, it's just when it comes into Flash that it has problems. Namely, it doesn't render the shape correctly even though the subobject profile path is correct. See attachment. We're really zoomed in here, the shape itself isn't much larger than 10px square.
I've deduced that it is a scaling issue, but don't know how to get around it other than redrawing the shape again in flash. It's not like flash has an issue with tiny elements, it seems to have an issue with elements drawn at a larger scale in ai and then scaled down, be it in ai directly or in flash after import. There is a threshold in which it no longer wants to draw the shapes correctly anymore, as if the curve handles are being ignored and it's merely trying to draw a straight line. Again this same file if brought in much larger renders properly, it's only when it has been scaled down previously that it becomes confused.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get around this problem?

Are you running the latest version of Flash CS4 (I believe it is 10.0.2)? I don't have CS4, but I think I recall that something similar came up some months ago and the solution was to install the latest update for Flash CS4.

Fill Color Changes When I Paste a Shape, Flash CS6

Whenever I paste, or paste in place, a shape (this does not happen with strokes), the fill color I currently have selected will change to match the color of what I've just pasted. If I paste something with multiple colors, it randomly chooses one of those colors to switch to. I've tried running searches online for what this phenomenon is, or how to change it, but I've come up with nothing. I'm using a mac, but a friend uses Flash CS6 on her windows machine, and it does the same thing. This doesn't happen in CS4.
Is there a workaround? Or is this an annoying new feature I just have to live with?

I can only verify what you see and explain the behavior but I do not believe there is any way to alter that behavior. When the new object is added to the stage (via paste) Flash makes sure to select it and it's unavoidable (and desired behavior) that it would trigger the contextual (color) panels with the correct information for the current selection. This appears to be a bug in that regard.
You can always report it in a bug submission, I think the behavior is a clear bug and it should be easy to fix. It affects CS6 which is still a current product (due to AS2.0 support mostly), and CC, so it's important. Good find!

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

Color profile off when importing motion proj into FCP

Color profile off when importing motion proj into FCP. Is there a way to set the profile?
I deleted preferences in FCP.

No, profile do many things. It is a color space. It allows different apps and systems to view colors the same. Also fcp typically works in a tub color space not rgb.

Color inconsistency importing images into flash cs6 - cs4

After much experimenting I can't seem to solve this issue - imported images get tinted in an undesirable/inconsistent way when imported and published within flash.
images look consistent traveling between photoshop / image preview / illustrator / etc.
they also look fine on co-workers versions of flash -

this is an interesting article - I learned a bit more about how browsers + flash handles color ... however it didn't directly apply to my issue

Import Illustrator file into Flash

I'm using Flash CS4 and I want to import an *AI file that contains the shapes of Europe's countries. The thing is that each country has a filling of dots (blue or yellow) instead of a solid color. Here is a screenshot of my Illustrator screen:http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6983/testedd.jpg
When I import the AI into Flash all these dots become rasterized and everything looks like squashed because, I no longer have vector dots but instead bitmaps. Example of the exported SWF: http://takeab.us/SPL_embed/index_carte.html
(try and right-click and Zoom In; you'll see how bad it looks)
So, what's the best way in importing an AI file and keeping also the vector shapes? I've tried with a version EPS and still no hope.

Well object expand is what I did then copy and paste, I am not certain of the reason to crop.
this is what i got when I expanded copied and pasted. so I do not think the crop is necessary it pastes as a symbol and the symbol is clipped which I think is what you want.
But if in this case you want the stroke as well once you select anyone of the countries they have no stroke according t the tool bar proxy and so it you give it a stroke using say a swatch and then expand copy and paste you get both the fill and the stroke if you desire the stroke as well.
In the case of France and Paris once you paste those into Flash after you stroke and expand then you select both the city and the country and make that into a symbol so that they are one.
And I notice from the art you sent all you have to do is select a country expand, copy, paste and then undo the expand and you are good t go do your work.

Color shift when pasting from CMYK document to RGB document

Hello,
We're creating an image for a client that will eventually be printed 4c process, and we have to use some very specific CMYK values. However, since we need to use certain layer effects, we need to work in RGB. I assumed that since the CMYK values we use are within the RGB gamut, there would be no color shift when copying from a CMYK doc and pasting into an RGB doc, but I'm apprently mistaken.
I'm not very familiar with color management, since we don't do any heavy duty color work in house, so this is likely a very rudimentary question: how do I keep colors from shifting when pasting from a CMYK document into an RGB document (which will eventually be converted back to CMYK for print)?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

you have two possible issues at work that would explain a change
"out of gamut" color between color modes (the RGB colors don't translate well to CMYK)
you are discarding profile information information when pasting (and not Converting to the destination)...

Unable to import audio of any kind into Flash CS6 Pro

Hi all,
I've recorded voice over using Audition and am attempting to import the audio files into Flash CS6 - the problem is I'm given the error "One or more files were not imported because there was a problem reading them".
I have tried a multitude of different settings when saving out of Audition, including alternate file types, all with the same result. To test further, I've tried past audio recordings used in other flash videos and I'm getting the same message. Could someone post the ideal settings so I can test that vs having to randomly try every setting there is? I'm running out of options (and sanity!) at this point. Thanks

I have a HTPC setup and some of my apps like to run audio splitting (FFD*) and interception and initially I thought maybe you have some of those advanced libs installed and might be getting interference. I'm not sure if that applies to you.
Otherwise instead of wasting hours/days/weeks/hair it might just be a good idea to try a fresh install of Flash. Make sure you completely uninstall the previous CS6 Flash install.
The codecs I used are merely WAV and AIF containers. The stream is uncompressed so there is no codec. That removes your system from having a codec compatibility issue. However for good measure I always recommend installing CCCP.
Edit:
Ah you tried reinstalling (as I typed). Try loading this FLA which already has the WAV above in the library, see if you have any issue:

Have a look at your import setting specifically Store Files:
Make sure it is set to where you want the originals to go.
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - Don;t empty the system trash. The originals that you deleted from the Desktop are in there and are the only copies you have unless they are still in the camera.
