Converting to mpeg with Flash MX4 professional

Hello peops! ,
I have been searching for a few days and I'm tired! So I thought
I would resort to the forum here for an answer. I am using
Flash MX4 professional on a Mac with Mac OS 10.3.9. I can't
seem to find the answer to convert a swf. file to a flv. or further
yet to a mpeg. I have tried to publish and export, but get the
error message, (version of quicktime doesn't have handler).
I have tried to export and publish to lower flash 5. I have
tried to export and publish to QT 6.5, but can't export to mpeg.
And I found ffmpegx. to try and extract mov. file to flv.- mpeg.
ff doesn't recognize mov. file from flash. I have found many
conversions to flv. file for Mac OS 10.4 and later, but none
for Mac OS 10.3.9. I am stumped! If anyone has an answer
please share it!
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Vlaf (Flav),
the main thing for converting a flash swf into a flv is to make sure that the timeline is not embeded inside a moveclip (meaning that the timeline of the movie is on the MAIN timeline....and not nested somewhere else.
if this is right, then it should export correctly. If it still fails with the Encoder....try an alterative encoder caller "Super"(its free)...and does a great job!
unless specified by your client or target advert host, always try to use a minimum of 30 frames per second and you should be good to go.

Starling with Flash Professional CS6?

Hi - Quick question to somone who knows.
Can you use Starling with Flash CS6 professional, or do you need to use Flash Builder?
I have an animation for IOS developed with Flash Professional and the audio goes out of sync on the iPad. Someone recommended trying Starling and I am struggling. I have found loads of downloads, but no FLA downloads to demonstrate it.

You can use Starling with CS6, I've done some testing with it, but not much more. I just know it works fine in CS6. All you should need to do is download the classes and then follow any of the examples. Here's a barebones example that will initialize Starling and show the stats monitor:
Document Class:
package
          import flash.display.MovieClip;
          import flash.display.Sprite;
          import starling.core.Starling;
          public class StarlingTest extends MovieClip
                    private var starling:Starling;
                    public function StarlingTest()
                              starling = new Starling(Game, stage);
                              starling.start();
                              starling.showStats = true;
And then you need the Game class:
package
          import flash.display.BitmapData;
          import starling.display.Sprite;
          import starling.events.EnterFrameEvent;
          import starling.text.TextField;
          import starling.display.Image;
          import starling.textures.Texture;
          import com.greensock.TweenMax;
          import flash.events.* ;
          public class Game extends Sprite
                    private var textField:TextField;
                     public function Game()
                              addEventListener(EnterFrameEvent.ENTER_FRAME, update);
                    private function update(e:EnterFrameEvent):void
I took out the code inside update that added Sprites to the stage... but this should at least get Starling up and running for you.

Installing and using Adobe Air SDK 2.5 with Flash Professional CS4

Hi,
I am trying to install the Air SDK 2.5 with Flash Professional CS4 with the intention of creating a program to use Actionscript 3 to communicate with the UDP interface using datagrams. (The server is the IL2 device link interface) As I am very new to this development environment I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions.
1) Can I use datagram sockets with Air 2.5 with Actionscript 3 and Flash CS4?
2) Is there special procedure for installing the AIR SDK 2.5 or do I use the instructions layout in "How to Overlay the Adobe Air 2 SDK for Use with Flash Professional - Flash professional CS4"?
3) If I do use those instructions, when I edit the namespace for my application do I set it to 2.0 or 2.5?
4) As a stepping stone to building my program I was trying to try to build the Actionscript 3 DatagramSocketExample program that is published by Adobe. Unfortunately I am getting a '1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: DatagramSocketDataEvent'.
Is there a step by step tutorial on how to get the example code up and running?
Thankyou for your time and patience with my noob questions
Ian

This was part of the AIR 2.0 beta release note, but I used this for 2.5 and it works nice.
You can try it too an make sure you use 2.5 wherever the not says 2.0beta2.
Goodluck.
How to Update Flash CS4 to Use the AIR 2 Beta SDK
If you use Flash CS4 Professional to build Adobe AIR applications, please follow the instructions below to manually update the version of the AIR SDK to use version 2.0.
Update Flash CS4 Professional to version 10.0.2 at http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html or select "Help > Updates... " from within Flash CS4.
Quit Flash CS4 Professional if it is open.
Navigate to the Flash CS4 installation folder. The default location on Windows is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\" and on Mac OS "/Applications/Adobe Flash CS4/"
Within the "Adobe Flash CS4" folder you should see a folder called "AIK1.5". If this folder is not present repeat step #1.
Rename the folder "AIK1.5" to "AIK1.5 OLD" or delete it if you do not need to save a copy of it.
Make a new folder called "AIK1.5"
Download the Adobe AIR 2 SDK from the labs website and uncompress the contents of the folder to the new "AIK1.5" folder you just created.
Copy the "airglobal.swc" file located within the "Adobe Flash CS4/AIK1.5/frameworks/libs/air/" folder into the "Adobe Flash CS4/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/AIR1.5/" folder.
Flash CS4 is now configured to use the AIR 2 beta 2 SDK.
In order to take advantage of the new AIR 2 beta 2 features, you will need to update your application descriptor file to use the "2.0beta2" namespace.

Converting QT movie with pauses to Flash

I hve exported a Keynote 4.0.3 presentation to QT and it looks great. It pauses where it should. The task is to convert this to a flash video and retain all the pauses in the correct spots (without having to learn Flash cs3 or actionscript). I have a piece of s/w that will do the QT to SWF conversion but it loses all the pauses.
How can I convert the QT movie (really an animated slideshow) to Flash with pauses intact? Is there any 3rd party software?
TIA

For what it's worth, I tried manually adding chapter markers to my movies in QT Pro using those same instructions - didn't work for me (iDVD didn't recognize the chapters).
I found another application called Metadata Hootenanny (free) that easily adds chapter markers. When I did that, iDVD recognized them and automatically added a chapters sub-menu when I imported the movie. This was all in iDVD '06.
I've tried this quickly in iDVD version 7 (imported the same chapter-embedded QT movie as above) and it did the same thing (automatically added chapters sub-menu). Hope this helps.
Regards,
Bill

Hello, I have a problem with Adobe flash cs4 Professional, the tool, : Trace Bitmap

So anyways, I was trying to make a Sprite animation using Adobe Flash Cs4 Professional. And While someone gave instructions on how to do so on Youtube, it said to use the Trace Bitmap tool in the top where tools are listed. So when I click, a downloading bar pops, and its loading so it can load it and do whatever the Trace Bitmap tool does. So anyways, when its like half-and-a-quarter done, one quarter stopped downloading, and to exit Adobe Flash Cs4 Professional, I have to activate Task Manager, and the tool dosen't work, help please.

Did the Flash plugin crashes also happen with a previous version (10.1) of the Flash player?
If you have submitted Breakpad crash reports then post the IDs of one or more Breakpad crash reports (bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx). 
You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the about:crashes page. 
You can open the about:crashes page via the location bar, like you open a website.

Can the usb camera converter be used with a flash drive or scaning device?

can the usb camera converter be used with a flash drive or scaning device?

No.
iOS does not have scanner drivers nor does the connector supply enough power.
Flash drive would kind of work, would need to have a DCIM folder-probably wouldn't see whole drive(?)
Then again this exists, uses wifi:

Problem with Flash video/dropdowns in Mozilla

Am trying to add a flash video to a webpage using a
Dreamweaver extension called Active Slideshow Pro by DMXZone.
The page can be viewed: www.faith.org.uk/Testindex.html
In IE7 it works fine. The video shows and the dropdowns of
the menu work correctly.
In Mozilla Firefox the video works but the dropdowns do not
show.
If I remove the block of coding which is generated by the
DMXZone extension:

The page works in both browsers and the menu dropdowns appear
correctly.
I would be most grateful for anyone's advice on this.

A discussion with Adobe support lends the idea that MPEG
layer 4 might be an issue. That since these videos come from DVD
perhaps encoded with MPEG layer 4 that that could be the reason tha
all of them have this problem. (Some were done using AVI - I have
to check and see if that makes a difference)
BUT
According to the PDF from Adobe Design - Flash Video Encoder
Wizard - By Tom Green and Jordan L. Chilcott
Flash should be able to convert an MPEG4 file. (Well it does
but they all stop after 30 sec.) Now how do I solve this problem?
All the videos still stop after 30 sec.s
quote snip snip>>
Flash Video Encoder Wizard
By Tom Green and Jordan L. Chilcott
The first thing you have to understand about the use of video
in Flash® is the original
video must be converted to a format Flash can read. This
format is FLV (Flash Video)
and you can either use Flash, the Flash Video Encoder, or
third-party software to
create the FLV file. If you use video-editing software such
as Adobe® After Effects®,
you can also export the file as a FLV file. If you are a
Dreamweaver® user, the current
version of Dreamweaver—Dreamweaver 8—contains a
feature that allows you to add
an FLV at the click of a button.
The purpose of the Encoder, therefore, is to convert the
video file to the FLV format.
When you installed Flash Professional 8, the Flash Video
Encoder application was
also installed on your machine. If you also have QuickTime,
Adobe After Effects,
Avid Studio, or Final Cut Pro installed on your machine,
they, too, were given the
capability to use the Encoder when it was installed.
If you will be converting a video to the FLV format, the
video must be in one of
these formats:
• AVI—Audio Video Interleave
• MOV—QuickTime 4 or later
• MPEG—Motion Picture Experts Group

Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004 Video Update does not work

When I import an MPEG video into Flash MX 2004 Pro, it works
every time except when I try to edit the video and create mulitiple
clips. If I try to create clips, it lets me go through the import
process, right up to when I click Finish. When I click Finish, it
just goes back to the first Import Screen (where it asks whether
you want to import the whole video or edit it first). It does not
import the video at all. This seems like it is an obvious bug. I
have tried installing the Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004
Video Update and that does not help. I'm on a Windows XP machine
with Flash MX 2004 Pro v. 7.2. Thanks in advance for any help.
Kurt

I'm on a Mac and don't had this problem. But I do watch for
video issues on this site and haven't seen this – I might
have missed a few, but most Flash users are on Windows so I think
it would be common if it were something wrong with Flash in
general.
Then again, what do I know? Because the more I'm thinking
about it the more I think I might have had this problem. But I
really can't remember. And sorry to say the solution was to not use
the import function to edit my videos.
You also might want to just see if it is the format of the
file you are importing. Perhaps a different source will work
better? I'm just grasping at straws here.
If you have many of these to do and a budget I suggest
getting a third party tool like Squeeze. Otherwise if you have some
third party editor you might want to use that.
Good luck!

Can't manipulate symbols with Flash CS5 3-D rotation tools:

Please help! I am just learning to use Flash CS5 Professional (aided by the "Flash Basics" tutorials of Lynda.com). I am presently trying to manipulate symbols as motion-tweens with the 3-D rotation tool found in the Flash toolbar. At the moment I'm trying to take a single word originally created as text, now a symbol, and animate it with motion-tweens so that it appears to be twirling on its x axis or y axis as though it's tumbling through the air like a coin.
My trouble is that I can successfully get the symbol to motion-tween itself through one half of a single rotation. But nothing I try seems to work to have the symbol complete its rotation all the way around without the symbol wanting to suddenly flip and rotate in the other direction to complete the full 360 degree rotation. Every trick I use, the symbol wants to tween back the way it came to finish its rotation. This is happening whether I try to rotate type as a symbol, or whether I use other objects (rectangles, ovals, etc.) I've created and then converted to symbols and then movie clips (which I have done in all cases). No matter what I try, this program is not cooperating. What am I doing wrong. My Flash CS5 often behaves as if it's buggy (I'm running it on a brand new state of the art iMac, with the latest version of Snow Leopard as my OS). But even with all it's other little bugs, restarting Flash doesn't seem to clear up this mystery. What am I doing wrong? Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Berzerk Contempo

Thanks for writing back. No, I have not found anyone but you to even respond to my query. So much for the helpfulness of Adobe's much touted forums website.
Yes, you have articulated the problem nicely. This is exactly the trouble I am having with the 3-D tool!!! I've tried creating in-between key frames to help guide the correct/desired rotational movement, but even with these key frames, the motion-tween invariably "glitches" the rotation animation back to link to the original key pose the wrong way. I've tried full rotation of both type and objects via various axis, and this problem always surfaces. Seems like such a simple thing to tween for the 3-D tool. But my Flash CS5 is not up to the task, apparently, --and neither it seems are Flash Adobe Forum readers.
It's so sad that Flash is treated by Adobe like such a ******* child. Once Adobe's brand was synonymous with workhorse programming, and the integrity to fix what was wrong with a program quickly to make it better. But most of my professional colleagues warned me to stay away from BOTH Flash CS3 and CS4 because of their unreliability issues!!! What a sad state of affairs for Flash. Cartoon animators like me are crying out for a program which does what Flash does, minus the crashes, glitches, unreliability, and counter-intuitive user interface Flash has become infamous for. Industry wide, Adobe has gained the reputation of having turned its back on the animation community, because "there are not enough of us to matter monetarily." And so, by extension, it has left itself and it's ailing Flash program ripe for being bested by some hungry developers with the concern and the attention to give to perfecting a 2-D animation software program which actually delivers what it promises.
I keep clicking the "software update" button in my Flash program, thinking Adobe's next update will actually improve its performance. Dream on...
