Creating Website Flash in Premiere

First, I have to admit I hate working in flash CS5
I have to create flash slide shows that change very frequently for our web site. I have created various 648 x 280 images in PS and then use premier to create a video and export it to FLV4. What I cannot figure out is a way to play it on the website. Seems I need to convert the FLV4 to SWF. I do not need the video to link to other pages, just play and loop.
Any ideas would be appreicated.
Bob

Thanks for all the suggestions!
I was able to make the project work in both Flash CS5 and Flash Catalyst.
Flash Catalyst was a quick fix to getting the Premier video into a SWF that I then loaded the php code into the web store.
Flash CS5 Pro did the same thing and facilitated adding clickable links along the video timeline. This was accomplished by basically doing all the wrong things according to tutorials and advise. Here is the process.
Develop a video sequence comprised of flat art and/or video in Premiere Pro. You can use all of the transitions and effects to create a video that is appealing and alluring.
Export as a FLV (note, not FL4 as it will not load on the timeline)
Open FL and import the video from your computer file
Select the second option to load the video on the timeline as SWF. Note, this lets you add an action track at the frame transitions so that you can assign a URL to that segment of the video
Use Code snipets to add the URL go to action and change the URL to the page you want in the action center. Copy that action frame and paste it into the frames associated with that segment. As a suggestion, if you are like me, all the majority segments have the same duration, so you can copy the keyframe sequence and paste it into the frames associated with the other segments. Then change the url in each segment by selecting all the frames and changing one to the URL you want. It will change all in that segments action track.
Export to SWF.
If you are using it in an html page, you will have all that you need. In my case, I upload it to the server and then reference it in the php code.
Again, thanks for all the help!
BTW, the issue with using a exported SWF relates to audio sync with the video. Since I do not use sould files for my work, it is not an issue.
Regards,
Bob

Flash or Premiere better for animations and movies in web design with Dreamweaver?

Hello,
I am recreating my personal website, and need to know which program (Flash or Premiere) is best to create animations that will be brought into a prerendered scene from 3ds Max. I have modeled television monitors that will flash and flicker with icons and text, but bringing video and animation into a scene like this for web developement is beyond my experience. I am using Dreamweaver CS3 to redo my website, and during my education we were never shown how to bring in this type of animation to a website. I do have experience with all of the above mentioned programs, unfortunately its far from an experts understanding. Any help is greatly appreciated, and if more details and information is needed please feel free to ask questions if my rambling is confusing.
Many Thanks!

Unless you are animating vector elements and/or buttons (which would suit Flash), either app can be used.

No "create new review" in Premiere 5.0.3

OK, I have the latest upgrades for all the Adobe programs and Flash too. CS Review works like it is supposed to in Photoshop and Illustrator. The problem is Premiere.
I don't get an option to Create New Review in Premiere. All I get using the orange (not Blue) CS button (or in Window>Extensions>Access CS Live) is "CS Review>Learn more".
I have tried all the suggestions on the forum.
I have been able to create a Review when directly logged in to Acrobat. I cannot directly upload anything from Premiere. I have to export an F4V or an FLV from Premiere and then go to Acrobat to do an upload. This begs the second question..the more important one at this point:
I have uploaded a 16MB F4V file to my Review and that went fine. Now when I try to upload another movie with a larger frame size which gives me a 66MB F4V file the upload always fails. The 16MB one is almost too small for review. I am still in the testing phase with the whole deal and wanted to see how the Review handled a second movie..I guess I have to put on the end of the first one and was curious if the time codes would match the separate movies. I would prefer to have the 10 movies I have to upload listed separately in the Review and not be appended if that is indeed what would happen.
With terrible upload times and the apparent inability to handle larger file sizes I am at my wits end. I have spent too many hours trying to get this to work correctly from Premiere, which I think may help the upload problem.
I guess the only other option will be to go back to Vimeo for review...without any interaction and thumbnails in PDF etc.

How to display a music album in a iWeb created website on MobileMe

Hi There
I have several songs and some Music videos that make up a Music Album (mine that I have made myself do I have the copyright to them) that I want to publish on my iWeb created website (hosted on MobileMe)
How can I get the whole Album to import. I have try dragging the things from the media side bar, I have also just tried dragging the whole album direct from the iTune Library, but no matter what I try it displays all the songs and the video as separate files and wont import them as a whole album.
Can someone tell me how to get them as a whole album
Thanks
Jason

Do you want to have the visitors play each of the songs and videos? You can use a flash based jukebox for the audio files and a video jukebox for the videos. You would only have to upload the files to your server once and then link to them there. With these methods the files don't load until you select the play button thus allowing the page to load much quicker.
Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site has a number of such examples on these pages: Music Players and Video LightBox Audio Jukebox.

What is the best way to create a Flash site

Hello Everyone,
I am realtively new to flash. I created the splash page of
our site in flash but 1st off it takes to long to load as it is.
But I would like to create the entire site in Flash. What is the
best way to create a Flash site, and are there tutorials out there
or any really good books, resources, or online classes to learn
Flash well. I understand the basic of flash and have created
banners, and other flash materials.
Can anyone help?

For me, as a noob, It's all about creative problem solving.
For lots of stuff, there's no right or wrong solution, but you have
to figure things out on your own. I, too, have built sites from the
ground up, and then rebuilt them even better. It's the only way to
really learn it well. Books, online forums, help docs all sort of
help, but it all comes down to how innovative you can be with
integrating them all into a site that is completely yours.
This might save you loads of headaches: avoid using scenes,
unless you are doing only animation. Keep each of your 'pages' on
their own keyframe, and use 'gotoAndStop' to navigate through them.
This is perhaps the easiest way to create a website quickly.

Flash to premiere cs3 then export to HD

Hi
What i need to do is Create a Flash swf, then import to premiere through third part plugin (flash ants, is this good?), then add some audio, then burn it to DVD.
The issue is getting the a good quality video from the export from premiere. i have tried to export as HD 1080i 25 high quality but when i play back the output its all jittery is this due to my machine, i have a pretty grunty one though.
Eventually i would like to create a dvd but it looks like you cant have HD when using Encore so how do i retain the quality?
Also what size should i make my document in Flash. i have tried 720x480 but this proved to be insufficient. i tried doubling that and then shrinking in premiere which seemed to work quite well when exported ad HD (thou jittery).
The reason i want to do this is because we have an expo coming up and i want to create a profile for business i work in. This profile will be displayed on a 40inch HD LCD and run from a DVD where the dvd will have to loop.
The only programs i have are adobe create suite CS3 so we will have to work within these limitations.
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated
Thanks

The reason i want to do this is because we have an expo coming up and i want to create a profile for business i work in. This profile will be displayed on a 40inch HD LCD and run from a DVD where the dvd will have to loop.
My best advice is to create the whole thing in Flash and run it from a Laptop. Just skip the whole 'video' idea on this one. It'll ruin your whole day.

How to create a flash automatization script?

Here's the situation. I have a font support library, however for each font I have to manually create a new swf file, such as Tahoma_14_bold.swf - which is a lot of work.
I need to create a Flash automatization script (extension or command, NOT AS3 code) that automatically opens up a file, changes the font of a pre-existing textfield on the stage to, for example, Tahoma Regular 10 with bitmap font setting, saves it as Tahoma_Regular_10.fla in a destination directory, compile, then change the font size to 11, save it as Tahoma_Regular_11.fla, compile and so on and so forth, up until all fonts are created.
The end result would be 30 or so swf and fla files for each possible variation of the font.
How would I go around doing this? Is this at all possible?

1. Efficiency:
Application has a fontStyle manager. The application never (outside of debugging purposes) creates textfields by itself. All textfields used to display text are created by a call to the fonts manager, like "fontsStyleManager.createFont("header1");"
As such, each fontStyle has an associated font SWF and other textField parameters. The website owner can specify which particular font SWFs are to be loaded at start, and all unused font SWFs are highlighted, to be deleted of the list.
2. Flash font embedding sucks
Flash embedding sucks. I've had whole projects refuse to compile and not even display any messages. I had fonts that changes sizes and font faces. I've had fonts not embed at all, even though I specified explicitly for them to be included. Embeding by code and at runtime is cleaner, and it works
3. Neccesity
Embedding fonts from Flex embeds all European characters including German, Greek, Norwegian and so on.. except Polish. In here I can specify my own precise character set using the flash IDE.
4. Fonts in Flash are complicated
Normal, vector fonts are embedded easy. Size doesn't matter, as the font can clearly scale to any size and remain nicely anti-aliased. Embeding a Bold style doesn't mean yhou embed a Regular. Bitmap fonts are embeded by font size, that is, embeding a 14px bitmap won't make it possible to use a 16px. In addition, embedding a Bold doesn't embed a Regular bitmap font. What's interesting is that you can take a 12px embed font and set the TextFormat to, say, 22px, and get a very interesting-looking pixel effect, as the font gets scaled up.
5. Flexibility - the ability to see a completely different set of fonts in your project without having to recompile - priceless.

Creating a Flash Video Slideshow

I was wondering if there was a tutorial somewhere on how to create a flash video slideshow similar to this website: http://slideshowpro.net/video/slideshowpro_for_flash#num=891929&id=album-42765 . Frankly, I don't even know if that's the correct term for it. The idea is to have one skin (Flash Player) on the site that plays videos with a list of various videos to choose from below. Furthermore, it should play it like switching channel on a TV, like on the site above, not like on YouTube or Metacafe (where a new page opens up with the video). This would be kind of like switching channels on a TV. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Flash in Premiere Elements Image Quality issue

Hello,
I've decided now that I am going to create animated films in Flash and then edit them in Premiere Elements. the problem is, is that when I export it from Flash to Premiere Elements the Image quality is detiereoreted (i.e fuzzy, blurry, out of focus, general ugly to look at). I first realised that I couldnt use an swf file in Premiere and isntead I should use an AVI. So I did. Problem is I'm still having the same problem. the Image quality is still terrible and doesn't equal up to the origonal image quality. And then tried Uncompressing it and all that did is make the video clip jump over about 80 frames and still the image quality is terrible. Is their one little thing that I'm doing wrong or Am I altogether not getting this right.
Programs I'm using:
Macromedia Flash MX 2004
Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0
Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0 (currently not working)

The MS DV CODEC should be installed on your system already. Whether Flash can Export to it could still be an issue. I'll have to check my version of Flash (think that it's Studio 8, but I've had it around from version 2) to see what all of the options are.
I've been handed many Flash animations that were Exported as .MOV with the Animation CODEC, and these have edited fine.
Other than the huge file sizes, AVI [Uncompressed] should work fine too. You might have resource issues, but that would depend on your system, more than on your NLE. I've used these with no issues many times.
Another likely candidate would be the free Lagarith Lossless CODEC. I use it for intermediate transfer and it edits fine in PrPro. I would assume that it would be the same in PrE, but cannot verify this.
On Monday, I'll be on my workstation with Flash and will tell you the exact version, plus the Export options available.
Good luck,
Hunt

Cannot load iweb created website onto iphone.

Cannot load iweb created website with iphone. I have tried with 2 iphones and they couldnt load the page. I also have tried with windows 7 internet explorer, safari and in Leopard also, they'dd all work.
All I get from my iphone is : Safari could not open the page because the server has stopped responding.

I think I found your problem Safari on the iPhone does not like "framesets"
Safari on iPhone does not support:
Events: mouseover and mouseout, including :hover styles and tool tips, (but it does support onclick and event listeners). Safari on the iPhone does not support the document events of onkeydown, onkeypress and onkeyup, the form-field events of ondblclick, onmouseenter, onmouseleave, onmousemove, and onSelect, and the window events of onresize and onScroll. This is not an exhaustive list, so test your event handlers before listening to me.
window.showModalDialog()
Plug-ins: Flash or Java, and plug-in installations. Do not ask users to download Flash.
File-size: Non-streaming files of over 10MB. CSS, JavaScript and HTML files are limited to 10MB per file. JavaScript is limited to 5 seconds of execution time. Safari for the iPhone does support gzip compression, so compress!
The iPhone does not support gifs, png or tiffs over 8 MB and jpgs over 128 MB (but does support larger streaming media files).
You can use iFrames, but avoid framesets.

In Flex 3 how to Stop and Replay .swf animation created in Flash

Hi
I have an animation file that is created in Flash (I think
CS3). In Flex if I import it inside a SWFLoader or if I import it
as an Image. It plays once and stops. Then I can not replay it. I
also can not pause it when its playing.
I have tried few things based on help and code available in
the Web to of no help. I have tried to convert the swfLoader
instance to a movie clip like so to stop
var c:MovieClip = swfLoaderHeaddress1.content as MovieClip;
c.stop();
<mx:SWFLoader x="53" y="116" width="206" height="255.3"
visible="true"
source="assets/animations/curatorial/ZoomHeadress_2nd.swf"
id="swfLoaderHeaddress1"/>
It does not work.
I have not created the .swf animation, I am not sure how it
is done. I belive it may not be using any ActionScript as I know
the artist who created it does not know ActionScript. Does
something need to be done inside the Flash to support the stop and
play? Or is there a way to restart/replay stop a .swf animation in
Flex 3 no matter how (and whether or not its developed using
ActionScript) its developed in Flash?

One way is she has to add some AS code to the animation, or
you can do it yourself.
In swf there must be something like this:
var connReciever:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
connReciever.client = this;
connReciever.connect("fromFlexToSWF");
function myFunction(parameter:SomeClass):void {...}
And in Flex:
var connSender:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
connSender.send("fromFlexToSWF", "myFunction", [..args]);
The other way: in case with just play/stop there is a way to
resolve this by using that Flex Component Kit (or maybe "Flex Skin
Design Extension", i do not remember), it is something like she
just adding labels to animation frames then she exports it with
Flex Kit and then you can work with it like with an object with
"states".

Emailing Invite created in Flash doesn't work

I created a flash invite for a client and cannot get it to deliver correctly through email. I've tried everything that I have found here and it won't show up in some of the emails that I have tested. (mine is the only one that works). I then tried exporting the flash to a gif but the quality is really poor. Any way to correct that?? I can't believe that this so complicated. Is there a piece of code that I am missing? Can this even be done successfully? The last animated invite I did was in photoshop and was nearly as complicated as this one and didn't want to mess with it.
Help. Client is getting anxious, and if I have to rebuild in Photoshop I need to get started.

What I Learned...
It seems there is no simple way to do this. So this is what I did, I exported the swf as an animated gif. It wasn't great but it worked in "most" emails but not all. Because of the that we went with a traditional, "click here" to view your invitation email. We considered using constant contact or a similar program that would embed the gif, but the client didn't want to have to enter all the email addresses. I decided I didn't want to spent the time to rebuild or use the png files in Photoshop.
This isn't something I will be recommending to future projects. It's just to dicey making sure that it works in every email format.
