Converting a flash movie to a gif

I have a movie clip API that allows a user to draw diagrams
on my site. When the user hit an OK button I need an action script
that will convert that to an image file so that it then can be
stored in a db.

I don't use it much but the BitmapData class should do what
you want. However, you will need to get the routines for various
image formats.

Convert a flash movie to something else

Let's just say I have 2 .flv movies I want to convert into a different format. How to do it, without compressing them in the process?

Try HandBrake - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Convert Quicktime (.mov) file to a Flash movie?

I have Flash CS3 that came with Adobe Creative Suite. I Never
used it but can it convert a Quicktime (.mov) file to a Flash movie
so I can play it on the web? If so where do I start? I also want
the viewer to be able to stop and start the Flash movie. I guess I
need a skin or something?
Also I'm confused about the difference between a FLV and SWF
file. Which one do I need for the web?
Thanks,

not really - you can export the MOV to an FLV and run that
through the flash player at runtime. You
can also import the MOV into flash doc. depends.

Flash is not a video editor - i would get yourself quicktime
Pro ($30 US) and open your MOV and
export as an Image Sequence - then from flash import the
first image into it - flash will detect the
numerically named files and prompt you to import them all -
they will end up as individual images in
keyframes on the timeline.
But sounds to me like you are trying to use flash to edit
video - not recommended as flash was never
intended to be used this way.

BPM Workspace can't display the flash movie with IE

Hi
We have the following problem, we have a BPM project with a flash screen, when we execute the project in the workspace of BPM studio we can see the Flash, but when we published the project in BPM Enterprise , the workspace can't display the flash movie, it just display the panel without buttons and fields. This happen just in Internet Explorer, in other browsers we can see the flash.
Any idea or solution ??
Thanks in advance

Actually, I got it working now...
It seems that I have to have all the files in the same folder
as the page it displays on!
Historically I would dump a standard flash clip (not a
converted movie with buttons) into the /images folder.
I tested this intitally in a /video folder (just to keep all
the files in one place) which would display the clip but not the
buttons but as soon as I moved the files in the same directory as
the page itself (which is the main index.html) it worked fine!
So if anyone does read this is there a reason for that as I
would like to keep everything in separate folders!
Cheers, J

Flash movie not displayed correctly in IE 8 on some Windows OS

Has anyone seen this problem?
I'm using CS4 to export a basic flash movie with embed tags pre scripted...
And the issue is that on some OS systems using Vista or Windows 7 and IE 8 as a primary browser, it appears that IE 8 is not displaying the flash banner completely.... its CROPPING it off... This is very strange because the banner works fine in FireFox, IE7,Opera,Chrome but not I.E.8 on some OS systems...
If you google "Flash not displaying correctly in IE 8" you'll get alot of people with the same issues but no real definate fix...
Are there any suggestions as to what i could try?
Do i need different flash embed tags? Or is this a user issue?
Please Advise as soon as possible...
Thanks

I'm sorry, i forgot to explain that I didn't upload the flash published html because it did and produced the exact same results.
The flash published still got cropped off on 1 vista os(I.E 8) running from a laptop and 1 windows 7(I.E. 8) latop os...
Its good to hear that you're able to see it clearly... however in my QA efforts, i've been asked to fix the issue or drop the flash banner all together.
I've tried every which way, i've even converted the embed tags (not uploaded by the way) to a js script and it STILL gets cropped of on 2 ie8 run OS systems...
And now i'm not sure what else to try on my end.
I'm currious if because this is an XML driven flash banner, this may be an issue? But it still doesn't explain why some people can see this in IE 8 as you can and others get a cropped banner like in my screen shot sample.
Again i invite everyone in the forum to take a look at the sample links, as i'd be curious to see who else is seeing this.
By the way "kglad" Thank you so much... please keep the suggestions coming... but everything you've suggested, i've tried.
This is very perplexing. Is this a setting issue? or is there some setting on the user side i'm not aware of? Either way, as usual... the flash developer is blamed so i must find a solution.

Link to screen shot sample on a Vista and Windows 7 running IE 8 browser

Again... eagerly await feed back from you and the rest of the forum.

Is there a better way to position a flash movie than ap div?

I'm creating a new website(not yet active) and have a great flash movie for the home page. I've place it in an ap div and of course it moves to a different position in different browsers. Is there any way I can get it to display correctly, or is there a better way to position the movie? Thanks.

Of course. The following code is for the home page:

Problem: Flash movie plays on desktop, but not on website

Hi, I'm new to Flash but have successfully created a Flash Movie that works using Firefox and Safari on my (iMac) desktop, but not after I upload to my website.
I started with an flv video, imported it into an fla document along with a playback skin then published it creating an html file and two swf files. I've checked the html file, and it looks fine. The flv file is only 17MB and I've uploaded all 5 files to my site on:
http://www.cantata.co.uk/temp2/minorswing.html
but all I seem to get is the control skin's "sending data" pole turning.The movie never arrives. I can get much bigger mpeg and wmv movies up on my screen very quickly.
Can anyone suggest what the problem may be? I'm running Snow Leopard on my Mac (OX 10.6.6). I've tried using different videos but nothing seems to work.
Here's the relevant html generated by Flash
<div id="flashContent">

Many thanks if you can help

Thanks - I don't know what as2 is. I'm using Flash CS5. When I import the flv movie file, I'm asked to choose a skin and then a window comes up to tell me that the address of the flv file with respect to the other files will be minorswing.flv by which I take it to mean that all the files need to be in the same level of folder (directory). All five are in the same folder on my Mac and in the same folder on my website. I can't see how I can influence the program in choosing a different structure or outputting different html in the Publish Settings or elsewhere.
I would have expected the relative structure of the files to be maintained between my desktop, where I can play the movie in my browsers, and the website, where I can't. I was surprised there was no "src" param name in the html, and I did try inserting one, but it made no difference, so I assumed the default for the html is to be in the same folder as the html and that the minorswing.swf file would contain information on the whereabouts of the flv file and the skin swf file.
Is there a way of reading or editing the swf files to include an absolute url?

Editable regions and Flash movie

Hi,
I am trying to insert a flash movie into an editable region
of a child page, but I keep getting the following error: "Making
this change would require changing code that is locked by a
template or translator. The change will be discarded."
I have read previous posts about the same issue, but none of
them answers my question. I tried creating a new template and a
child from it as a test deleting the css links (like some one
suggested to do) to try to identify the troubled css and I kept
getting the same error in the new pages. I hope someone can help to
identify the issue and the solution. The region where I want to
insert the movie is called "FinalMainContent."
BTW, I do not know how to write code... Sorry!
Thanks, in advance, for any help you can provide!

For some reason, they do not automatically play in new Firefox. The movie only play when use click on "play" button.
Should I have to convert these movie using higher verson of flash? could you please help?

what's not playing at your link?
double check its publish settings so you do NOT have "paused at start" checked.

Creating a DVD from flash movies (flv)

Does iDVD 6 support flash movies (flv) importing?

Does iDVD 6 support flash movies (flv) importing?
No. You could probably convert the files to DV video (which is supported) using VisualHub at http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/

How To Get Adobe Flash Movie To Work On Another Computer?

Somebody please please help me.
I use a English language Windows operating system, forgive me.
I made an interactive book in Adobe Indesign CS 5. The content, which are all graphics, was all originally created in Adobe Illustrator CS5, but I exported it into SWF.
The end result was that I have this interactive book, a mirror of the printed version – which itself is formatted in Adobe Indesign CS5 – that I exported to Flash Movies.
On my Computer I can operate the interactive book and all is fine, I can see the interactive version of the printed book I have Adobe Suite CS 5.
However when I download the end result to a CD Rom and try to play it on another computer, which has no Adobe software, it doesn’t work. My questions are the following
1. What software does another computer that is working on Microsoft Vista have to download so they can see the developed interactive book?
2. What software does another computer that is working on Apple OS have to download so they can see the developed interactive book?
Will someone who has a non-English OS, for example Japanese or Chinese, need to download anything else to see the developed interactive book?
Thanks In Advance
I'm Going Mad.

Thanks again for your reply.
Eventually what I've done is convert the swf files to exe files and they work on all PCs, no matter whether the OS is English, Japanese or Chinese.
The way I did it was from
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/212109
'to convert a swf to exe just open the swf alone then go to file > create projector this will create a standalone exe file that will run on virtualy any PC computer with or without the flash player '
The above is for anyone else who has to make a digital interactive book.
Thanks though ʇɐb ɹəuəllıʍ and you have a nice weekend.

Exporting from flash movies without quicktime

I used to convert flash movies in dv (for further editing in imovie or Final cut express). With the latest QT update this is not possible anymore (and a lot of my projects are unreadable...). Anyone knows an (possibly inexpensive) way to convert a .swf file in dv or something else digestible from QT or visualhub? (visualhub relyes on QT support for converting flash movies, so this is not doable...)
Thanks in advance.

Buy a cheap external HD and install an older version of Tiger (and QuickTime) on it. Use http://perian.org and QuickTime Pro to make the conversion.
QuickTime 7.3.1 no longer supports Flash media formats.

Centering a Flash Movie

Here's my problem:
I've created a Flash movie I've saved on a CD as a .exe
projector file. The .exe file will automatically open once the CD
is placed in the computer's CD drive. When the movie is opened, I
want it to play in the center of the computer monitor. Thus far
I've not been able to figure out how to configure Flash so the
centering on the monitor will occur. I know in Director, you have
an option you can choose to make the centering occur. Is there a
way in Flash to have the centering take place. Even if it means
performing some Actionscripting.
An additional Note: I know I could use an FS Command to make
it so the movie will place full scrren no matter the scrren monitor
size. But since my Flash movie contains Bitmapped images whose
resolution quality depends on having a stable monitor size, I can't
use the FS Command because my bitmapped images get distorted.
Any help in this matter will be appreciated.

you can use the stage.allowscale method to stop scaling and
also make
the entire window cover the screen. It also has align to you
can center
or otherwise position it in the window
a more comprehensive solution is available if you convert
your swf to
an exe with mProjector it includes a full set of window
manipulation
commmands include center
here are the docs for that commands

Text blurry when converted to flash video

I've been exporting my movies from FCP as 8 bit uncompressed to use as a master for converting to flash via the Flash 8 encoder.
The resulting images look great except for text on title cards that were created with text generator in FCP.
I've done numerous tests at various settings, but the text, after the Flash encoding, never looks pristine as it does in QT.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I don't think you're gaining anything by exporting a DV sequence to uncompressed 8 bit. If you want to improve things, try editing in a ProRes sequence instead from the get go. 10 bit color, and it should play the DV in RT without having to render it as long as your computer is fast enough. But when you recompress a DV seqence to something else, you really can only lose quality. You can't get better by upcoverting the DV, but your titles will look better in 10 bit prores. Keep in mind that once you create something (say a title) in a DV sequnece, it becomes just that... so if you were to create the title in a ProRes 10 bit sequence, theory says that it should look better.
Also FWIW, the Boris Title 3D titler is vector based, not bit-mapped like the text tools are. So it should look nicer all around.
