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.

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 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?

How to publish a single SWF file?

Hello, I need to know how can I publish a single SWF file

I've tryied to publish many times, but the Captivate creates

how to remove.
I'm using Captivate 3.0.
Thank you!

Creating 'packaged' SWF file with Flash Prof

Hi Experts,
I have a simple requirement, however, I have spent some time trying to find a solution to it and I'm a novice so would be v grateful from input from those more experienced.
Firstly, I've created with Adobe Captivate an SWF file which I have been able to reference in an aspx page and when I view the website, it runs fine (no other file is referenced to run this). Example of the below code in the aspx page I have created:
object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="500" height="400" id="Untitled-1" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="progressive2.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#aaaaaa" />
<embed src="MY_VIDEO.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"
width="500" height="400" name="Untitled-1" align="middle"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
My objective is this. I have a final edited FLV video file. I also have Flash Professional. What I want to do is create a single SWF file (like with the Adobe Captivate example), which will include the video and the skin for the progress bar, volume etc and then reference this in another aspx page for the website.
I want to be able to have the same 'packaged' SWF file, as in the captivate, created from this FLV video. In Flash Proffessional, I've imported the FLV into the 'stage' and added a skin through the wizard. But trying to publish or other options, I've not been able to get this single 'packaged' SWF file to run correctly in the website, via the same apsx code as above.
Am I missing a trick here? I would presume it would be fairly simple as I don't want to edit the video, more I want to embedded it with a skin in the one SWF file. I would be grateful for any pointers.
Many thanks in advance.
Mark

You wrote "I've imported the FLV into the 'stage' and added a skin through the wizard" from this I conclude that you choose the deafult option, that says "load external video with plyback component" (only this one offers you a skin wizard). But when you deploy that swf to a server it still needs the flv source (search Help for FLVplayback), and even the Skin (its an extra swf) must be depoyed to the server. What you instead want to do is option 2: embed FLV in swf. There are some disadvantages to this solution: the longer the video, the more probable it is, Audio and Video will get desynchronized, and: you can`t use Adobes premade skins for the controls

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.

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

How to create the SWF file which was included surrogate pairs.

I would like to make sure how to create the SWF file which are included surrogate pairs.
The error of outside the scope of unicode occurred when I compiled(mxmlc) the as file which was set surrogate pairs to 'Unicoderange'.
Ex, I set the ' '(UTF-16 is '20B9F') to 'Unicoderange'.
However, I cannot add the surrogate pairs.
The error of outside the scope of Unicode occurred when I compiled the AS file.
The reason of error was that the Unicode(UTF-16) of surrogate pairs is invalid.
Then, I read the following pages.
These pages are written that unicode-range supported surrogate pairs.

I've been able to create project jar files in Eclipse by selecting Export from the File menu, then choose Java - Jar file - and provide the required information, name, destination folder etc. But when I do this, I do not export other jars on the build path this way nor do I expect to do this. I am only concerned with creating a jar file of my own work. A jar file does not "contain" other jar files. If the jar file contains the main method, and requires other jars for it's execution, then you may wish to include a reference to required jars on the class path entry of the Manifest file of the jar file you create. I'm not sure how to create a Manifest file in eclipse though..

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.

oconndav,

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?

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

So Wat to do? Is there any way to get out as a single swf file from captivate.

Dear friends,
I am beginner in Adobe Captivate. We have a E-learning
project. We are using Dockers as our LMS. Previously we were using
Flash for all. Now we are trying Captivate for better and faster
results. I have few swf files and i inserted al files in Captivate
and i published. So instead of getting single output, am getting
all the swfs, skin swf and html file. Html file is accessing all
swfs and works. But it is not working in Dockers. Single swf will
only work in Dockers. So Wat to do? Is there any way to get out as
a single swf file from captivate. please Help mee.
Thanks
Flashlover

If 'Dockers' cannot handle a .zip file as the content and
instead
requires a single, uncompressed content file, then it is not
SCORM-compliant. The SCORM specification requires the LMS to
handle a
'pif' file (most common is .zip) which contains the lesson
and the
required manifest file. If Dockers doesn't support that then
you can't
do SCORM-compliant content.

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

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.

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

Different versions of animated image in single swf file

I am making a game which has several objects (beds, crates, tables) that can be placed on a grid.
The objects are created in flash and exported as individual .swf files. Each object can be rotated. To do this I create 4 frames in each .swf and draw a different version of the image in each frame. This allows me to 'rotate' an object in actionscript by simply going to the next frame of the swf movieClip.
This simplifies things a lot for me, as it follows logically that an object will have one image file (swf) for all orientations. However, I've hit a problem in that I would like the object to have an animation. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this? or perhaps another technique I could use.

I think It's best to explain with an example. Let's say I have a television that I draw in four different frames with different rotations. The first frame has the television facing in a south west direction. The 2nd frame has a south east facing television and so on. This is what I have at the moment. What I'm wanting to do next is add an animation to the television, e.g. display something moving on the screen.

Creating customised swf files using CF?

Hi all.
This is a bit of an integration question.
Marketing create wonderful swf brochures using InDesign to
let them have those cool page turning features. They embed urls
into the document to invite the reader to "click to make a
booking".
Fine so far.
What they have asked me is if there is any way we can
dynamically build these brochures so that:
a) clients can build their own and/or
b) the urls can have some dynamic content
For the latter, they want sales consultants to be able to
generate a brochure and send it out and all URLs in that brochure
will include the consultant ID (for clickback tracking and other
stuff)
I could do this easily enough using a PDF and CFDOCUMENT but
they want the final format to be SWF and to have all those
page-turner extras.
Is this even possible at the current state of Adobe
integration?
Regards
Neal

I think you are trying to explain how to load two swf's one with action
script and loading an other swf file which should be non action script.If
you read my requirement carefully.I have all the same type of swf's and
these swf are automatically created as a form of output for xcelsius dash
board software.Iam capable of creating individialu ipa files from these swf
files.So when I try to combine the same kind of swf files the first error
its giving is the file name which I have used in the xml.in the main file
name for the swf file its not considering the two swf file name in the
initial window.so the adt package in the command line is not understanding
the file name from the xml and the command prompt and giving error this swf
file does not exist.So please consider how to combine two swf files with AS3
into one ipa file.These swf files are not editable,Let me know if you find
any idea to achieve this

UPK: Can it create a .swf file for embedding into Articulate?

We are combining a policy and systems training course. The policy part of the course is built in Captivate and the Systems part of the course is built in UPK. I am able to easily embed the Captivate Policy section into Articulate, but am struggling with the UPK Systems section. It appears that I can insert it as a web object, but that requires server access by our learners and it opens in a seperate window that the learners will have to close as IE won't auto close.
If UPK could output a .swf file, or if there was some way to convert the player.exe or topic.odtpc files to a .swf file, that would be great...any suggestions?

Hello,
Many UPK customers are using their existing Flash content in the concept frames for topics, sections, and modules. This is quite easy to do. Since Flash content on its own isn't very easy to deploy, Adobe Flash has the option to create HTML pages that act as a "home" for the SWF files generated. You'll need to use these HTML files when you copy your Flash content into a UPK package. Once you have all of the files and folders created with the Flash content in a package, all you need to do is create a link to the main HTML page. I don't have Flash or Captivate installed, so I cannot provide exact steps, but I hope this helps.
EDIT: Oops! I just realized that I misread your question. I'm not familiar enough with Captivate or Articulate, but UPK can be treated like a collection of web pages. The UPK web pages require all the folders that come along with the published player as they contain style information in CSS files and more advanced stuff in Javascript files. If you can pull in all of the UPK files and folders, it should be possible to link to specific topics per the steps described in the UPK product documentation, specifically Content Deployment.pdf.
Best regards,
Marc
