Converting to swf

Premiere doesn't export to .swf so I've been trying to find online converters that will allow me to do so. However, with each one comes a new glitch in the .swf - is there a simple way to export from Premiere or convert to .swf?

Well, a swf file is a Flash file, but you're trying to create a flash video, which is an flv file which would then go inside of a swf file.
For example, the videos you see on YouTube and other similar sites are flash, but the player is the swf file while the videos themselves are flv files.
If you have Adobe Flash, it comes with a built-in converter to make your video files flash video files and it also comes with video players built-in. Then from flash, you export your project as a swf file which includes the player and can either include the video as well or it points to the location of the video.

How to edit a Animated Gif file and convert to SWF

I am using the creative cloud with fireworks. I chose the free trial with buying in mind if I saw it work properly. I simply want to upload an animated GIF file and then download it as a SWF file. I saw someone on youtube do this and it's not that if I get on the correct page I would not know how to do that but I just cannot find how to get the GIF into the software to edit. It has just simply put them in the creative cloud folder which can open them on IE> How do i make it available to edit and convert to SWF please? Thanks in advance.

If its animated you'll want to convert it to an FLV file and embed it in your webpage.

Otherwise a standard JPEG or PNG image file should suffice.

Convert AS2 swf to AS3 swf

I have a swf (written in AS3) that loads other swfs into it.
There are no issues when loading other AS3 swfs but there is a
problem loading AS2 swfs. I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
flash.display::AVM1Movie@35d3a51 to flash.display.MovieClip.
Is there any way to convert the AS2 swf into a AS3 swf so it
will be compatible with my loader? I cannot go back and change the
AS2 swfs because I do not have the fla files. Or is there any way
to incorporate AS3 code that will load AS2 swfs properly? It seems
hard to believe that Adobe would neglect this backwards
compatibility issue. Thanks

Hello Andrei1,
Thanks for looking at my simple AS3 code. The AS2 swfs that
I've been working (and having difficulties) with are components
that I've purchased from places like www.flashden.com. Some are
image transitions (such as "Dynamic Image Draw found at
http://www.flashden.net/item/dynamic-image-draw/7532)
while another is used to create a looped banner rotator animation
(IMG_loop, a free d/l from www.afcomponents.net). I have another
that uses an .xml file to configure a slideshow animation.
You mention "needing to do more" if AS2 scripts inside its
swf are to be run by the parent AS3 fla; what would these lines of
code be?
In researching my problem further I've since realized that
most of these issues deal both with the version of AS used, as well
as the version of the Flash player the fla is set up to animate
for. In particular, the "Dynamic Image Draw" component requires
that Flash Player 8 or 9 be used with AS2.
Given that many of my purchased components are like this,
I've since changed my main fla movie from AS3 back to AS2 and have
learned that the scripting needed to call individual multiple swfs
into it at various points in the timeline is MUCH simpler!!!!! One
single, easily interpreted, line of code vs. 5 lines using
variables and much more arcane (to me) function calls.
I started my file with AS3 figuring that I'd be better off
learning the new version of the language; much stress and
forehead-rubbing later, I've seen just how much easier and
understandable AS2 is to learn.
I recognize that there are likely very strong arguments for
the more structured coding approach used by AS3, but for someone
like me who wants to generate customized Flash presentations with
little fuss, I'm not qualified to make them.
Perhaps this is a no brainer for those many flash gurus out
there, but for me this tiny bit of wisdom has been hard fought for!
That being said, is there an easy way to convert a swf file
created using AS2 to something that AS3 can work/interact with?
I've come across a free d/l product called actionscript bridge, but
haven't been able to understand how to get it to work.

How-to Convert Animation (swf) to flv video clips

Hi,
Has anyone here on the forums ever created flv video out of
animations i.e. swf files.
Kind Regards,
Boxing Boom

to convert a swf file to avi or mov you need a third party
application to accomplish that, there are few of those google it.
In case you want to export a .fla animation to a video
format, just go to File -> Export -> and select the
appropriate container (avi, mov) change the output settings on the
dialog box and you're ready to go.

How do you convert a swf or mp4 file into flv using creative cloud programs?

I am trying to embed a video as HTML5 with Flash fallback into my Dreamwaver site and only have the swf file of the video.
Please let me know if you have any ideas about how to convert a swf or mp4 file into flv, without loosing pixels and quality of the swf file.
Thank you!

If you have MP4 video, you can use Pickle Player which has built-in Flash fallback for Mozilla. No conversions required .

Converting Flash/SWF to HTML5

I.
Following Ned's advice I'm posting this message on Dreamweaver's forum (after posting it in the Flash/Actionscript 3 forum).
I'm not a programmer, so this question might sound a bit noobish.
I have this flash project with an advanced button - here's the code:
portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,btnOver);
portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,btnOut);
portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickPortfolioToGoToWebPage);
function btnOver(event:MouseEvent)
    event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("Rollover");
function btnOut(event:MouseEvent)
    event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("Rollout");
function clickPortfolioToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void
    event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("ClickPortfolio");
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.fudzilla.com/"), "_blank");
In order to comply with the HTML5/CSS3 "new standards", I converted the swf file to HTML5 with Google Swiffy. The problem was that it doesn't support Actionscript 3, so it was converted as a looping movie. Question: Is it even possible to retain the Mouse events? Or do I have to make a HTML5 for the Rollover, another one for the Rollout and one for the Click? Again, I'm not a programmer.
Forgive my noobish remarks...
***** UPDATE: I got the code and downgraded to Actionscript 2.0 and it worked. *****
One question though: is this good practice? Creating my animations in Flash AS2 and then converting the SWF file to HTML5 using a SWF/HTML5 converter? Will I have any problems? I suppose it's not an elegant way of doing it...

Hi
If you want your animations to work on HTML5 devices including mobile devices, one solution is to convert the flash content to video and use the HTML5 <video> tag to embed the video on a webpage.
Of course this works only if your content is non-interactive.
FLABACO (www.Flash-Banner-Converter.com) is a Free, online tool which converts Flash (SWF) to video. It generates excellent quality video which can be used with HTML5 to work on all HTML5 devices / mobile devices.

How to convert an SWF to a format that...

Converting a swf to quicktime mov file

I created a swf file useing Flash and need to convert this to a mov file. I watched a training video and under Publish Settings > Format their should be a Quicktime mov option. I do not have this option on my CS5 Flash version. Also, if I try to export as a mov file, nothing happens. I have QuickTime Player version 7 on my computer. It just will not show up as an option in Flash. How do I convert a swf file to a mov file without going online and purchasing a converter?

I tried using the movie export option. A popup comes up titled "Recording Flash Content." It freezes and does not ever finish creating the file. I tried downgrading the player from Flash Player 10 to Flash Player 5. This did not work either.

Converting from swf to avi or mpg?

I've been searching for a way to convert the swf file that is
generated in Adobe Captivate to an avi or mpg.. but every
tool/converter i have tried fails to do the job for one reason or
another..
Is there a converter project out there that works?
Thanks

You could publish as an exe and convert that to AVI.
Go to this web site for a tool that also converts SWF
http://converter-exe-flash-avi.qarchive.org/
or Google SWF to AVI for a list of sites with that software.
I only did the search, I do not have any experience using any of
these.

How do I convert a .swf to .flv

Hi,
I'm currently developing content for a flash e-learning
environment that requires .flv extension. I'm using Captivate 3 for
the task of creating the content, but have not found a way to
export or convert the .swf output of Captivate to make it .flv
I'm totally at a loss - can anyone help?

I'm not sure this will help, but what I know is that the FLV
format is designed for streaming or progressive download of video
from the server to the user's browser by converting it to the flv
format via an import procedure into a Flash doc. Normally I use
Flash to import a movie into a Flash file layer, add a sound layer
for, say, a background music loop, on another layer and publish it
as a swf and flv, using the Component Inspector to set the rewind
to "true" or "false".
This process creates two required files: the final swf and an
flv which calls the swf when the page opens or other event occurs
on the web page. The user experience is absent the jerky appearance
that often occurs from swf alone or movies alone.
The video component that is imported into my Flash doc as
described in my first paragraph above, can either be a .mov from
anywhere or one I create in Flash and export as an .mov
I don't know about formats other than .mov I think it depends
on your final deployment, i.e. web, dvd, whatever.
I have not used captivate, but if it will create a .mov for
you, should do it. You may have, however, other controls to build
in as well. Flash 8 and above allows you to do that in the process
of creating the .flv
Then, you must load the .flv and swf onto the server at the
same level. Or, you must make other code changes so the flv "finds"
the swf. A different path can be entered using the Component
Inspector in Flash.
Hope that helps.

Can't convert the swf to MovieClip

I have a problem where i have an as3 project loading in an
AS3 SWF which contains another AS3 SWF containing a videoplayer,
and i'm getting the type coercian fail error as above.
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
work_client_overlay@39e9e0b1 to flash.display.MovieClip.
at WorkClient/externalLoadComplete()
at Function/
http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply()
at MethodInfo-37()
usually when i load in an SWF I put something like
var mc:MovieClip - new MovieClip();
mc = MovieClip(ev.currentTarget.content) //where
ev.currentTarget is a loader
Then i find that i can trigger functions inside the loaded
SWF by using
mc.SomeFunction();
but this isn't working in this case and the only reason i can
see is that there is a videoplayer loaded inside the SWf i'm now
loading in....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Greg

I solved it. The main class of my loaded SWF needed to extend
MovieClip and it was only extending Sprite.

How do you convert a SWF to JPEG?

We have 10,000 SWFs (and their FLAs), but need to create a
JPEG of each SWF to see a thumbnail of them in a DAM.
Aside from the very manual method (make screenshot of the
SWF, resize it and convert it to a JPEG in Photoshop/Bridge) what
are my options in order to either A) automate this process OR B)
come up with another process using either the CS2 or CS3 suites?
If there is another process to do this, what would this be?
Remember, I am starting with a SWF and I want a JPEG, but I
am keeping both. I have seen plenty of information on how to embedd
JPEGs into SWFs, but I am not interested.
Anyone have any ideas on this topic?

You say you have their FLA's. The image should be in the FLA
right? The original is linked inside as well right so you should
already have the original somewhere that you could work from
instead of going through the FLA file. Now, if you added other
graphics and so forth to in the FLA and want to export that
instead, goto file/export/export image and select JPEG Image.
Not sure if you can automate this though. You might be able
to make an Applescript to do this, perhaps. Otherwise I suggest
getting some interns in there ;-)
