Compiling Multiple SWFs to Single SWF

Hello All,
I'm building out a Flash / Flex viewer and I'm looking for a tool / software that will recompile several to many SWFs into one SWF file. I have an XML file and would like to load that into a compiler that would compile the SWFs into a single file. Please let me know your thoughts and thanks in advance.
I appreciate your help.
Rob

Hello Kglad,
I appreciate your reply to my post. I built an XML loader and have the ability to load the individual SWFs (decompiled PDFs) into the Flex viewer. I can view each page(SWF) in the viewer but by adding another SWF layer (XML Loader) I break the search functionality. I'm using PDF2SWF to convert the PDFs to SWFs. I would like to be able to manually add addendums to the converted SWF files via XML and then compile them into one "master" SWF that loads into the viewer. I would also like to be able to determine the order of the SWFs.
Again, thanks for your help.
Rob

How to use aggregator to create a single swf file from multiple files

Hi everyone,
I am working on the client's requirement where i have to create a SCROM 2004 based video. Its basically a PPT inside the captivate file. And it has around 175 slides in the file. Some of the slides have animations, voiceover. I am facing a problem during PUBLISHING the file into single SWF file format. Whenever I Publish the slides as SWF, it creates number of SWF files, Swf skin of the player and other manifest, Scorm 2004 files.
I want only one single SWF file in which every slide should be incorporated in it. Dont know, why it is happening? I tried aggregator for this also, but it didnt worked... The Skin.swf has been easily added and no other files are adding. It shows me an error: "Name.swf is not a AS3 Captivate file ....."
I am new to this. Please help me out as I have a very short deadline for this.
Thanks and Regards

Maybe you misunderstand: this is a user forum, not online help by Adobe staff.
Sorry, but if you are that impatient, you'll have to pay for online support. You post a question and expect to have answers within minutes?

Want a single .swf like before

I just want a single .swf like I iused to be able to publish
out of v1 of captivate. Is there a way to do that?

Hi again qptress
Captivate 3 brings quite a wealth of new features to the
plate. You have already mentioned grouping. But there are others,
such as;
* Ability to randomize, copy, paste, import, export question
slides
* Two new question types
* Ability now to automatically size text buttons
* New object type called a "Slidelet", that allows
presentation of a Caption AND an Image on the same mouseover
* New mode of recording audio narration - You may now watch
the slide or project play while you narrate
* New "Multiple mode recording". You may now record a single
time and create both a Demonstration and a Simulation based off the
single recording.
There is more. I'm just hitting the high points.
As for the full motion bits, it certainly sounds like you
launched Captivate, selected the "Full Motion Recording" mode and
recorded your project. Certainly, when you do this you will end up
with multiple .SWF files to distribute.
Cheers... Rick

How to publish a single SWF file?

Hello, I need to know how can I publish a single SWF file
(like the EXE option).
I've tryied to publish many times, but the Captivate creates
many SWF files, including the skin.swf file, but this one I know
how to remove.
I'm using Captivate 3.0.
Thank you!

Hi there

Loading .FLVs dynamically into a single .SWF

Hey guys, so here's my issue. I've got a site that I'm
working on with a friend of mine who is a software developer. His
comfort is with .net and asp.net. The site we're doing has a media
section where the clients want to be able to upload videos in .flv
format and have these uploaded movies populate a dropdown list.
Instead of having them upload a .swf of an flv player and the
actual .flv movie, we would like to have a single .swf that loads
these .flvs dynamically. So, basically the problem there is that
the location of the .flv file is usually hardcoded, either through
actionscript or through the component parameters window inside
flash itself. So I figure the solution is to have the flv player
inside the swf call to a variable in the database, and when each
video is selected in the dropdown, it is set as that variable. Do
you guys have any tips on that code or any other solutions to my
problem?

Yes, you must embed them rather than load them from a url at runtime:

Video and skin in single swf file... sigh....

Hi all,
This may be an obvious one to some of you but I have been
tearing my hair out for several days and cannot find detailed
information on what I am trying to do anywhere...
I have a requirment to convert several short DV video files
to SWF so I can publish on a web page. The finished products need
to be a single SWF files.
Importantly they also need to include a control skin.
I have been trying to use both Flash CS3 and Captivate 3 to
do this with no success. (I have found info on how to do it with
Captivate, i.e. remove borders etc, but that presents some other
problems which I won't go in to here as it's a different topic)
Is what I am trying to do possible inside Flash ? Surely it
is?! Can I import a DV video, add a control skin and publish it all
as a single SWF ?
I believe there are shareware third party products that can
do this, but I really want to use Flash and I can't understand why
it appears to be so difficult. (unless I am missing something
obvious...)
So if anyone coudl help that would be fantastic, even if
that's just pointing me in the direction of some reading material..
Cheers.

It is. :)

You can, but be aware that video -- especially sizable video
-- works
best when the FLV file is situated outside the SWF. I
understand that your
project requirements dictate otherwise, which makes this a
bit of a
challenge, but you can put everything into a single SWF. It
just means
you'll be building your elements by hand and will control the
video as if it
were a movie clip (that is, a MovieClip class instance)
instead of an
FLVPlayback instance or Video instance in conjunction with
NetConnection and
NetStream instances.

Well, again, heavy Video files aren't really designed to
play inside
SWFs. For whatever reasons Macromedia/Adobe chose, video is
ideally
designed to be controlled as an external asset.
In your case, you won't be able to use the FLVPlayback
component. You
won't even be able to use the older Media components or the
component-less
Video object solution. You'll import your video asset to the
Library, place
it inside a movie clip symbol (which will stretch to an
incredible length),
then place your movie clip on the Stage and give it an
instance name. Once
it has an instance name, you can refer to it with
ActionScript. The
MovieClip class entry of the ActionScript 2.0 Language
Reference (or 3.0, if
you're uasing AS3) will give you everything you need to know
(and can do)
with movie clips.
ActionScript will give you access to the total number of
frames of that
clip, as well as the current frame. You can tell the playhead
to go to any
of its frames, play, stop, etc. In this way, you can mimic
many of the
capabilities of the FLVPlayback component -- though with less
precision.
The "skin" of your video player will be determined by you
... by button
symbols for the buttons (or you could use movie clips), as
well as other
graphic elements. It's going to be a totally
built-from-scratch project,
and you'll have to program the buttons yourself. How would
you rate your
comfort level with ActionScript?

A single .swf output file?

I import my captivate simulations into my Authorware
programs. This requires a single .SWF output file. I want to be
able to use the skin (border) feature and produce only 1 single
file. Can this be done? Anyone have a work-around...
Thanks,
kshasmith

Hi there kshasmith
So you want to eat all that cake and still have some to take
with you, eh?
I think you would be able to accomplish this the old
fashioned way. That is, the way we did it in Captivate 1. Notice
that if you DE-select the borders check box, you STILL end up with
the playback controls. They are just plopped on top of the bottom
of the movie. Sooooo, if you click Project > Resize Project...
you can increase the height of the movie to make room for the
playback controls.
Steps:
Click Project > Resize Project...
DE-select the "Maintain Aspect Ratio" check box
Add 35 pixels or so to the value in the Height field
Choose the option to Keep project the same size and fill the
background with color
Choose the color your skin would have provided
Click the drop-down and position the project in the Top
Center
Click the Finish button
This should result in a single .SWF movie that is basically
identical to a skinned Captivate movie using two .SWFs.
Give that a go and see how you fare.
Cheers... Rick

Not able to publish project as a single swf File

Hello Captivate experts.
I have a problem publishing only one swf file with Captivate.
My project consists of three slides. The first one is a introduction Slide, the second and the third one only contain one swf each (swf that i also created with captivate).
These files are the files who always get published together with the main .swf. So after publishing I got three swfs instead of only one
I know that a topic like this has been discussed, especially because of the new feature of Captivate 4 wich allows to export only one file, but so far i haven't read anything about swf files that can not be included. (I only found that flash video can not be inserted into a single swf).
I realized that this problem only occurs with swf files created with captivate. Swf files created with Flash don't result in a septerated file.
Did anybody have this problem before? Does anyone know a workaround?
Thanks in advance
captiware

HI Captiware,
When you insert a swf, which was created from Captivate, as animation into Captivate and publish => the swfs are kept external. This is by design.

Creating single .swf file without border causes control bar jump

If the goal is creating a single .swf file and the answer is
to simply uncheck the border checkbox, there's a small problem. If
there is a Captivate control bar -- in my case a full length
stretched one -- it will ride up and over the Captivate movie,
covering some of the movie. In my case the control bar is riding up
and over several buttons referenced in the project, screwing things
up considerably.
How can we keep the control bar from riding up -- or more
specifically perhaps being loaded over top of the project -- such
that it obscures part of the project?
Quick answers would be really fantastic!
Thanks!

Thanks Paul,
That did work. I use a pretty stripped down control bar so
adding in 27 pixles works. A cohort mentioned that Captivate 1
required a similar work around -- though it only produced a single
file. It'd have been nice to have known before her co-worker.
It's too bad there's not some verbage somewhere -- maybe in
the help -- that explains that adding a control bar to an exisiting
project will result in the toolbar obscuring some of the project --
how much depending on the size of the control bar.
It'd be great to have a little checkbox that would allow the
project to expand the exact number of needed pixels so that the
project and control bar were nearly mated together.
To come full circle, after I've done this and gotten the two
together, I have to resize again -- this time down -- for my
project.
So after making it bigger to fit the control bar, I resize it
again to make it smaller, make adjustments to the text -- which
doesn't seem to scale -- and to the caption boxes that don't mate
exactly anymore and publish. What I found is that the file size is
now closer to the original "larger" project file.
I find this curious, as I was finding when the control bar
was on top of the project before learning this workaround that the
file size for a smaller resolution project was actually turning out
larger. That never made sense to me.
After the workaround, it's actually close to the same size.
Thanks for your help!

How to compile multiple RH projects in a single go ?

I have more than 100 Projects to be compiled. Is there any option in RH 8 to compile multiple projects in a single go.
Please Help .
Thanks
Neeraj Malik

Welcome to our community Neeroj
If all the projects are simply variants of a single project you open in RoboHelp, you could use the Batch Generate feature. But I'm very doubtful that's the case here.
I suppose you might investigate using the command line compile feature. Perhaps you could accomplish it that way.
Click this link to read about Command Line opertations
Or crack open the help system for RoboHelp and look at what it says about Command Line compiling.

Creating single SWF file

Hi,
I have several mp3 files that I use in my Flash animation but I want to publish this animation as a single SWF file. Don't want the mp3 to be also made available along with the SWF. Can you please tell me how to do this ?
-Thanks

Since I am not sure if your question was about security, you can use Sound and SoundChannel classes to stream mp3s at runtime.This way you don't need to include these files with your SWF and sound stream is more controllable.
There are many tutorials on how to do that, inclusing Adobe documentation:
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/media/Sound.html
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/media/SoundChannel.htm l
As for the security, DRM is a big expensive thing that is not affordable for the majority of us. In addition, there are tons of free stream sniffers on the web that extract media very easily.

Captivate 7 - How to publish into a single swf file?

Our Authoring tool has been designed to cater for Captivat swf files for video uploads. Now that we have upgraded to Captivate 7 the swf - is merely a 'holden cache file' the video content is saved in the .mp4 file. Our programmer tells us that it will take some time to reprogramme this. Is there a way within the Captivate 7 publishing settings to still create a .swf file which will be able to stream the entire video content when uploaded or to generate a single swf file with all content?
Thank you so much! We are trying superfast to adapt to all the different changes and really appreciate you input.
Peter

OK, only solution I've found is to use a 3rd party program - try cutePDF.
Thanks for nothing HP!

Export a fla as single swf files

Hi,
is there a hint or workaround how to export (save) all frames
of a FLA file
as single swf files (like
you can export a FLA in single JPG files)?
Would much appreciate if someone has a hint for me.
Thank you in advanve
Peter

Hi,
that hint does'nt help. The problem is that I want to have
all frames out of
one FLA file stored as SINGLE swf file.
Example: Source: test.fla with 5 frames exported to:
test_001.swf,
test_002.swf, test_003.swf ...
Any idea how to do?
Kind regards

Unable to create single .swf in Captivate 3

I've downloaded the trial version of Captivate 3 and
I'm unable to produce a .swf that I can use. When I Publish, I get
a folder that includes two .swfs, an html file, and a couple other
support files. I need a single (1) .swf that I can post to a
server, and then click on a link from an e-mail or Web site that'll
play it back in the Flash Player and it includes the skin, etc.
Is that a functionality not available in the trial version?
Thanks.

Hi Ambitguy and welcome to our community
Well, you can't have it both ways.
What I mean by this is that you mentioned you wanted to see
the skin. And therein lies the rub. That additional .SWF is needed
to provide the skin you are wanting
If you want a single .SWF, click Project > Skin... >
Borders tab and DE-select the "Show Borders" check box. This will
eliminate the _skin.SWF. The side effect is that the playback
controls (assuming you are including them) will move up and cover
the bottom part of your movie.
And no, it's no limitation of the trial. The only thing
crippled in the trial is how long you have to use it before you
have to pay, and the fact you cannot disable the "Movie Expiration"
for what you create using the trial. Once you get the full version,
you will then have to open things you created using the trial and
DE-select the expiration.
Hope this helps a smidge... Rick
