Combining multiple SWFs into one then optimize file size

I am new to Flash and have been asked to combine six
different SWF files into one. What is the best way to do this? This
seems like the file size would blow up. Can anyone share some
thoughts on how to optimize the final file size so that it is
managable?
Thanks

Ok I will take the last question first, since that is probably the easiest.end
A merged file or a flattened file is the same thing as a composite.
A merged file still has its transparency and data that is outside the canvas area.
A flattened file is a merged file that is converted to a background layer that does not support transparency or data outside the canvas.
A composite can be a merged copy of the existing layers if you use the multiple key strokes I mentioned above. Whereas a merged file is a composite of the original layers. So I personally use the term composite to mean a copy as merged and flatten already explain that process, no need to give them an additional term to mean the same thing.
Generally blend modes work by selecting individual layers before changing the blend mode. However you can group the layers or convert them to a smart object and apply a blend to that group or object.
Normally you set the blend mode as you work on each layer. But you could set all of them to overlay or reduce the opacity to 30 or 50 percent to see through all the layers, then adjust them later on.
I am not sure how it works on the mac, but on windows you can select the blend text box then use the up and down arrow keys to change the blend mode to see how it looks.
I recommend that you go through the free videos on layers, masks, opacity, and layer styles. This will help you dramatically. Also a few books on the subject will help has well.

  • What product do I need to just combine multiple pdfs into one pdf

    Are these files fillable forms?
    Could you need to combine more than 100 MB of files?

  • How do I turn off automatic bookmark creation when combining multiple PDFs into one?

    When I combine multiple PDFs into one, I need Adobe to use the CUSTOM bookmarks I created in the original PDFs. I do NOT want the additional PDF name as a bookmark in this instance. Is there a way to turn this option OFF in Acrobat Professional? I have version 9.

    You can not automatically turn off this action nor can you remove the 'file_name.pdf' heading, but you could add a button or menuitem to remove the 'file_name.pdf' from the bookamarks. Yes, it is one more step to perform when combining PDFs, but is you want until you have all of the PDFs combined you only need do it once.
    Removing filename bookmarks created by Acrobat by Sean Stewart
    From the above article:
    "With the release of Acrobat 6 came the ability to create a composite (binder) document from multiple files, (i.e. File > Create PDF > From Multiple Files.) When this is done, Acrobat automatically inserts a new top level bookmark at the start of each new file. The bookmark title will correspond to the source filename of the source file. While this level of separation can be helpful, it is counterproductive when the user wants the bookmark tree in the merged document to be continuous.
    "Here's a sample JavaScript to remove the top level bookmarks from the bookmark tree. This script will look for a ".pdf" extension to decide whether to remove the bookmark."
    With some additional coding you can add menu item or toolbar button.

  • Combine multiple drawings into ONE SHEET

    Hello, this is a question on Acrobat Pro, ver 8, using Windows XP. I guess I understand how to combine multiple files into a single PDF-file. However, this morning I happened to see the option mentioned in the subject line. When you go to "Combine files" > "Getting started with combined files" and select "CAD drawings" the description reads: "Combine multiple drawings into one sheet that's easy to navigate and print". How can this be done? I need to combine 8 ea CAD drawings (already converted to PDF) into ONE SHEET for printing without having the need taping 8 pieces of paper together. Arranging the drawing within the CAD application is not an option because the files were delivered by a 3rd party company and they only deliver PDFs

    Hi Priya,
      You can do this by merging the requets.
       1. goto Se10 and right click on the request and seelct merge requests.
       2. It will ask you from request and to request. Give the request names.
       3. After merging first request contents will be added to second request and
           first request will be deleted.
      Like that you can merge 3 requests to one request.
      Let me know if you want more info.  
    Thanks & Regards,
    Siri.

  • How to combine multiple webservices into one WSDL file

    Gurus,
    I have 4 four webservices(ws1,ws2,ws3 & ws4) defined in XI. Normally in XI when we define webservice ,WSDL file will be generated for each interface. Now I have 4 related interfaces, so 4 WSDL files will generated. Suppose if I have 100 webservices then 100 WSDL files need to be generated & need to send to other party to consume our services, which is very tedious task & to track also. So is it possible to combine related webservices into one WSDL file? Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Santhosh

    Hi,
             Instead of trying to combine the interfaces, you can try to define your interface mapping with 4 sender interfaces with in one interface mapping . I think this may give you the result you are expecting.
                      If you want entire content to be in one interface , then, define single interface which can accomadate, all message ocntent of all 4 interfaces.Means your sender message to contain the 4 datatypes internally.

  • When combine multiple PDFs into one, some letters are missing and display wrong letter

    Hi all. I get a problem with combine multiple PDFs into a single PDF document. There are some PDF documents and they are working fine to open each document separately. But after I use Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard to combine them into one, some letters are missing and some display wrong letter (e.g. "forums" display "fo ums"). Our company has Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard, Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Standard. But all of them have some problem. Does anyone have idea for that? Please help me! Thanks very much!

    I have a similar situation, but my PDFs look fine in Acrobat Pro 8,Acrobat Reader 8, and Apple preview, but are missing letters in Acrobat Pro 7. I think it stems from the files being combined all having the same font, but each having a unique subset stored in the respective files, but with the same name (and ID?), and when they are combined, the character sets are getting hosed somehow.

  • How can I combine multiple pdfs into one document?

    I need to consolidate multiple docs into one.  How do I do that?

    It's pretty easy. Open multiple PDF documents in Apple Preview that came with your Mac. Choose View/Thumbnails so you can see the page thumbnail icons. Select any number (or all) of the page thumbnail icons of one document and drag them to any point in the thumbnails of another document.
    For example you can drag page 6 of one PDF between pages 40 and 41 of another PDF doc. But it sounds like you want to select all pages of one PDF and drag them to the end of another PDF doc.
    If you need more powerful document combining you can use PDFpen or Adobe Acrobat Professional, but they cost money.

  • Combine multiple jars into one product jar

    Hi everybody,
    I use multiple third party jar APIs in my applet project. When I built the project, I get one product jar and the other jars in LIB folder. I am wanna produce only one jar including other jars inside. I use netbeans.
    Shortly How can I combine all jars into one jar ?
    Thanks...

    woaw, Got it: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/javase/single-jar-141905.html
    Other jars were signed jars in project. Now, I got only only one jar and unsigned.
    If I sign this unique jar, will I see a problem ?

  • Combining multiple layers into one "final image" then working on each layer's opacity to affect what the final image looks like

    Ideally the "final" image would be displayed.  I'd go over to the layers panel and work on each layer, dialing up and down the opacity and see the effects on the "final" image.  This is in regards to interior real estate.  Normally I combine my images in Photomatix (different exposures) and have that method down.  But what I'd like to be able to do is to, say, strobe different areas of the scene while shooting maybe six images (same exposure), load those six into CS5 (File>Scripts>Load Files Into Stack) then proceed.
    I've looked at a ton of videos on Youtube and searched CS5 Help and just can't find the answer to what exactly what I'm trying to do.  I can choose Edit>Auto-Blend Layers and that does indeed give me a final image (like in Enfuse or Photomatix) but I haven't found a way to then adjust each individual layer to affect that final image.  And I know there's a way, maybe coming at this from a completely different direction.  Thanks.

  • Append or combine multiple IDOCs into a single IDOC file

    Hi All,
    We are implementing multiple new payment types that will generate IDOC files for us to send to the bank.  To keep the cost to the minimum, the requirement is to combine multiple IDOCs to a single file.
    I'd like to know the most efficient way to complete this task.  Also, I am new to this forum, please let me know if I need to include additional information.
    Your help will be deeply appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Hi Milind,
    One way you can do this is generate each report in PDF or Postscript, and then use Adobe Acrobat Distiller to combine the files into one PDF document.

  • Combine multiple pdfs into one form

    I have several multi-page pdfs that I would like to combine into one dynamic form. I can import one at a time separately, then paste in each page, one at a time, but that's very time consuming. How can I take each imported file and add it, as a whole, to the master form?

    Then you can do it using a Server product called LiveCycle Assembler. The form will have to be 1st, then you can add as many PDFs as you want.

  • Combining multiple projects into one larger project?

    If I have multiple separate projects and now want to combine them, edits, titles and all into a larger project, is it possible? I expected that it might be possible to drag one project into another and place it intact onto the timeline for the new project. Since every combination of dragging a project around has evidently failed to accomplish what I'm expecting... is there a way to do this?

    welcome phiphika to the  board…
    in terms of convenience, I would indeed export/share all 6 movies.
    to tape, or as Quicktime/FullQuality…
    both methods create a lossless copy of your final movie(s).
    in step II, import all 6 project into a new iM project, as said above, you don't loose ay quality with that back'n forth copying... only some time ;-)… you can set then chapter markers etc....
    besides, your workflow is as mine on larger projects: not 678 clips into one monstrous project of some dozends Gigabytes, just segments…

  • Combine Multiple Worksheets into one table

    Hello Everyone!
    I have 2 Excel worksheets within the same workbook. Both have identical tables with almost the same fields except for 2 or 3 different columns in one of the sheets. Currently I have a macro assigned to a button on one of the sheets and I have to click on
    it to combine the 2 sheets. I also have a Pivot Table on one of the sheets which pulls data from the table on that sheet and displays it on the existing sheet.
    I wish to :
    1. Combine (merge) these two sheets into one table on a new worksheet when Excel file is opened rather than clicking on the button.
    2. Once the Excel file is opened, i would like to have the Pivot Table to pull data off the combined sheet and display it next to the combined table. Essentially I would like the Pivot Table to be refreshed with the new data from the Combined table rather
    than from one table.
    Is this possible ?
    I use the following code to combine the two sheets, but I don't know how to proceed further. Can someone please help me with the rest ?? Thanks in advance.
    Here's the code:
    Option Explicit
    Sub Combine()
    Dim J As Integer
    On Error Resume Next
    Sheets(1).Select
    Worksheets.Add
    Sheets(1).Name = "Combined Results"
    Sheets(2).Activate
    Range("A1").EntireRow.Select
    Selection.Copy Destination:=Sheets(1).Range("A1")
    For J = 2 To Sheets.Count
    Sheets(J).Activate
    Range("A1").Select
    Selection.CurrentRegion.Select
    Selection.Offset(1, 0).Resize(Selection.Rows.Count - 1).Select
    Selection.Copy Destination:=Sheets(1).Range("A65536").End(xlUp)(2)
    Next
    End Sub
