Crop multiple swf or fla in a folder

Is there a way that I can crop a specific area of multiple swf or fla files that are in folder? With a script or program? I tried many programs but all are for file by file..

I want to load these swf files inside html file not in a flash file. So i need them to crop them.
As there is not a "crop tool" in flash.. Can I resize the document and re-locate them with a script? Which is close with what crop do approximately.
thanks

How to bundle a .FLA and multiple .SWF files in one .EXE?

Hi,
I have a .FLA file which uses loadMovieNum() to load various
.SWF files when each one is called by the user clicking on a
button. Each .SWF file also uses loadMovieNum() to call a second
.SWF file. When I publish the .FLA file as a .SWF file it all works
beautifully.
Now I need to package the entire project into a Windows
projector .EXE file for offline use on a computer without the Flash
Player. When I publish the main .FLA file as a .EXE file, the .SWF
files still load, although they blink before fully loading and
displaying steadily.
What I would really like to do is to bundle all the .SWF
files into the .EXE file so when I send the finished project to the
end user, they only have to deal with one file, rather than a
folder with the .EXE file and multiple .SWF files.
Is there a way to do this?
I am using Flash 8 Professional.
Thanks,
Cam

Since this isn't going to be web-based, why not include all
the external swf files into the same Flash file and then use
attachMovie?
This will allow you to create one .exe file that would
contain EVERYTHING. Since you aren't worried about loading speeds,
you don't have to load the movie clips, but can simply create one
large Flash file.

NON-Flash User Wants to Edit and "Recompile" an SWF or FLA file...help??

Hello!! Although I am NOT new to Mac, I have NEVER attempted to edit an SWF file and I'm seeking an EASY way to do so. I think I might be CLOSE but I'm wasting time trying to figure it out so I'm posting here for some help...hopefully!! :-))
I also apologize because I did NOT know where to post this question so KINDLY direct me if I have posted in the wrong place!
Soooo, I have an complete, original .swf flash movie. It is a Holiday greeting but the VERY LAST frame has text that is NOT RELEVANT and I wish to change that text.
It appears that the text I want to change is (I do NOT know the correct term) a "layer" of graphic content for the last frame.
So, I have done TWO THINGS: I have used the Flash Decompiler app to (1) create an .fla file and (2) DECOMPILED the entire .swf extracting ALL the resources/objects that are used to create the original .swf animation. I have NO IDEA what to do with the .fla file...I know it is used to edit the animation but I do not have software to manipulate the file.
BUT, in the decompiled files, I HAVE LOCATED the one resource...a TEXT RESOURCE...that I wish to change. This extracted text resource is named "Dynamic text 293.swf", saved as in .swf format.
Now HERE is where I am STUCK!!...and I THINK this is the direction I would like to go:
1. Open the Dynamic text 293.swf file in a format that allows me to EDIT THE TEXT I wish to change. HOW DO I DO THAT?? Can I convert it to a jpeg, edit the text, and then BACK to an .swf file?? Can I simply CREATE a JPEG and somehow SAVE IT as an .swf file to REPLACE the Dynamic text 293.swf file? Is there an EASIER/DIFFERENT way to edit the text in this Dynamic text 293.swf file?
2. After editing the text in the Dynamic text 293.swf file, HOW DO I "RECOMPILE" the folder of alllll the extracted resources from the original .swf animation, NOW with this NEW/EDITED Dynamic text 293.swf file, and RECREATE the full .swf with the changes I made??
Again, I do NOT have FLASH or MACROMEDIA or any of those apps :-/ I DO have the .fla file conversion AND have isolated the SINGLE extracted resource file (Dynamic text 293.swf) that I want to edit.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP Greatly appreciated!!
Scott

That's a problem, since the format changes between jpg and swf when converted
probably won't just go back to their previous state, less the changed section.
The converter you have, is it a freeware to convert swf to fla; or what does it say
that it can do? In some cases, a flash video can be copied (perhaps illegally)
through use of a software such as Ambrosia's SnapZ ProX and a movie of any-
thing playing on your Mac can be copied. So, a movie could be paused at the
end where the unwanted content exists, so the copy would not have it recorded.
Snapz ProX - Ambrosia Software: (not freeware, has 'free trial' version)
http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/
Otherwise, there are a few shareware and freeware editors for swf content; to
some degree or another they either convert content or allow some editing.
And this may only work as far as the item's creator allowed, if the file is locked.
' swf fla freeware editor Mac OS X ' - google search:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=swffla+freeware+editor+Mac+OS+X&btnG=GoogleSearch&aq=f&oq=
I'd tried some basic editing of swf files a few years ago, and was able to only
convert the string of images into single-frame jpgs and work on each one,
but could not get them back into an swf. Perhaps graphic converter or other
software could do something for these; but I am inexperienced in all that.
Good luck & happy computing!

Using 1 movieclip in multiple swf's. possible?

Ls,
I was wondering if it is possible to have a movieclip that you can like export and then share in multiple .swf files.
This, without importing them from external libraries in the .fla files afcourse.
So like i have a movieclip containing different type tile bitmaps (i do that why im asking)
I use these tiles in the editor and in the game .swf;
Changing the(adding to) graphics has me importing the mc from from one .fla into the other.
Is it possible to make mc in a .fla, export it and dynamicly import it?
Or can I read the library from the other .fla dynamically?
Regards,
mac

So, and I'm asking not arguing, all i have to do is make a .swf with all my movieclips in there and no code.
correct, but you must assign a class to each movieclip in the swf's library that you want to use.
Then load the swf and use the assigned class in my code in different modules.
yes
Then, when adding graphics to the movieclips, i dont even have to recompile my code?
correct, any change to the graphics of your movieclips will be reflected in all the swf's that load that movieclip containing resource swf. no code needs to be redone or recompiled to reflect the graphic changes.

Multiple .SWFs in one HTML page

Hi all,
I'm trying to post multiple .swf objects into one html page. The first .swf object plays fine, but the second one does not load. I've searched all over for the answer, but I do not know what to do (plus, I'm a Flash noob). My page is http://users.wpi.edu/~cdaley_jw/animation.html, so please feel free to check out my code.
Dreamweaver tells me that swfobject.registerObject does not exist, or something like that, but I see this code being used elsewhere. I have swfobject.js in my main folder, too. I haven't the slightest clue what I'm missing.
Thank you very much,
Chris

I'd suggest you get the second .swf working BY ITSELF on a separate, new, blank page before worrying about how to get two working on one page. Your problem may have nothing at all to do with the fact that there are two .swfs on the page.
Looking in the cach after downloading your page,
http://users.wpi.edu/~cdaley_jw/Daley_Christopher_Walk_Cycle.swf
is downloading... but it's only the player, not the .flv file that it's looking to load and play.
http://users.wpi.edu/~cdaley_jw/Daley_Christopher_Walk_Cycle.flv
does exist on the server at the address above but is not being called by the video player... the .swf. So the problem may be that the url to the .flv is wrong in the .swf or is missing completely.
You'll have to fix that first and then worry about 2 swf on one page. So step back, get that second .swf working on a page all by itself, then move on.
Best wishes,
Adninjastrator

Basic preloader for multiple swfs?

I've looked at 100+ discussions around the web, not one good answer.
I want some AS3 script equivalent to the following script (which I've made-up):
loadallthefollowingswfs.intocache("home.swf", "products.swf", "contact.swf");
I want a bunch of different swfs, all of which are in the same directory, to be loaded into the cache prior to viewing any of the swfs.
I would like to put this script into the first frame of an index.swf
Upon loading ALL of the swfs into the cache, it will move on to frame 2 of the index.swf and continue forward.
All of the other discussions around the web state to either "have each swf load once it is opened" (I don't want that, I want them all preloaded into the cache prior to viewing any one of the swfs), or the discussions say "you should combine all of the flas into a single fla and just preload that one swf file (I don't want that either, I want seperate fla/swf files).
Anyone have any suggestions on how to load multiple swfs into the cache when accessing one frame of an swf?
Thank you.

Greetings,
Actually I just want to ask you guys about how will I be able to use these snippet? I tried to insert a trace inside the else area of the if statement, but, didn't showed up any results in the output window...
BTW: I just paste this snippet inside a new layer new flash file and saved it along with the two .swf files.
var swfA:Array=["home.swf","works.swf"];
var index:Number = 0;
var targetMC:MovieClip=this.createEmptyMovieClip("targetMC",this.getNextHighestDepth());
targetMC._alpha = 0;
var mcl:MovieClipLoader=new MovieClipLoader();
var lo:Object = {};
lo.onLoadInit = function(target:MovieClip)
index++;
if(index<swfA.length)
loadF();
else
// all are loaded. do whatever
trace("Load Ok...");
loadF();
function loadF()
mcl.loadClip(swfA[index],targetMC);
here's my code
var swfA:Array=["home.swf","works.swf"];
var index:Number = 0;
var targetMC:MovieClip=this.createEmptyMovieClip("targetMC",this.getNextHighestDepth());
targetMC._alpha = 0;
var mcl:MovieClipLoader=new MovieClipLoader();
var lo:Object = {};
lo.onLoadInit = function(target:MovieClip)
index++;
if(index<swfA.length)
loadF();
else
// all are loaded. do whatever
trace("Load Ok...");
loadF();
function loadF()
mcl.loadClip(swfA[index],targetMC);

Need Preloader for Multiple SWF files

SORRY FOR THE DUPE POST, THE OTHER CAN BE DELETED. MY ADOBE
ID PROFILES WERE MESSED UP.
Hi forums, I'm new to Flash. I did the following:
1. Created a complex home page, about 3.5MB in size, due to a
large graphic I had to use many times over and couldn't make into a
symbol (long story). It's called INDEX.SWF, with accompanying
INDEX.HTML file from Flash
2. Split pieces of the INDEX.SWF file into multiple SWF files
to make it load faster
3. Created multiple layers in INDEX.SWF using loadMovieNum to
call to multiple SWF files from step 2
This works OK, but I think a preloader would optimize my page
animation. However:
1. I don't understand how a preloader file gets recognized on
the site load. If I create a file called PRELOADER.FLA and publish
it, how does the site know to use it first? Does it need a special
name?
2. Once I understand #1 above, I might be able to use some
sample preloader files I've found. It seems like all I have to do
is change the actionscript to point to my main file, but not sure
yet. I'll get to that next once I understand how the file even gets
recognized and loaded. Thanks for your help!

IE running under XP can't handle multiple SWF files, Why?

I noticed that IE 8 running under Windows XP cannot handle multiple swf files in one page.
Up to about 10 files is no problem they are loaded and we can play them ( buttons that start a small audio file).
But more of these files in one page will stop IE.
Firefox ( 3.6.28) runs them fine.
And also IE 8 and/or Firefox under Windows 7 handles them perfectly.
Has anyone any idea what can cause this and how to resolve this?
Thanks,

Sorry...I still don't get it. What is it about Windows FUS that keeps iTunes from running running the process twice? It can run many other non-Apple windows apps in multiple user sessions (commercial apps, open source apps, audio/video apps, networked apps). I can even run two different virtual machines at the same time under two different user sessions.
Why can iTunesHelper.exe run twice but iTunes.exe cannot? Why can I run Safari at the same time? Quicktime Player runs fine under multiple user sessions.
Blaming it on Windows and/or FUS sounds like FUD. Can anyone give a valid technical reason? Semaphores? Mutexes? An admission (and explanation) that the Windows version is purposely crippled?

How to load multiple swfs to my main flash file??

I am using the following code
In actions for Frame 1:
var myrequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("A.swf");
var myloader:Loader=new Loader();
myloader.load(myrequest);
img1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickButton);
function clickButton(event:MouseEvent):void{
    stage.addChild(myloader);
img1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_5);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_5(event:MouseEvent):void
     gotoAndStop(13);
In action for Frame 13:   (img2 is another button)
img2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, unloadFunction);
function unloadFunction(event:Event):void{
     stage.removeChild(myloader);
This code works perfectly fine. My only problem is, How do I get multiple swf loaded. When I tried to copy and paste the same code for the other swf, but the following errors appear. I'm pretty sure theres a way to have multiple swfs (btw the multiple swfs will be linked from different frames).
Scene 1, Layer 'PAGES!', Frame 2, Line 7 1021: Duplicate function definition.
Scene 1, Layer 'PAGES!', Frame 2, Line 2 1151: A conflict exists with definition myloader in namespace internal.
Scene 1, Layer 'PAGES!', Frame 2, Line 1 1151: A conflict exists with definition myrequest in namespace internal.
Can someone please help me with this. Thanks

You define the same variable or function names more than once in a file. But you can reuse them in other frames. Try something more like the following in frame 2....
myrequest=new URLRequest("A.swf");
myloader.load(myrequest);
leave all of the rest out for starters... the same function from frame 1 can be re-used without rewriting them. I don't know what the deal is with img1, but if you need to change what it does, then add that back in.

How do I add multiple URL's to a Bookmarks folder?

Safari question: How do I add multiple URL's to a Bookmarks folder?

Ok...
Click the Bookmarks icon left side of the Safari toolbar then select Boomarks in the sidebar.
Locate the folder then try dragging url's to that folder that way.
If that doesn't work, from your Safari menu bar click Bookmarks > Add Bookmark then click the, "Add this page to" pop up menu then select the folder you want to save that url to.

Can I use multiple swfs in iOS app?

Hello everybody,
I have to create an app for iOS from an existing Flash project.
On the stage of the main flash multiple swfs are loaded dynamically .
Is it possible to compile, in addition to the main file, all the other swfs too?
If I load the swf in the "Included files” on “Setting AIR for IOS” menu, they are copied as swf, making impossible to use the app on iPad.
Thanks to all

Thanks,
I left a component in the external swf library...
Now it works!

Exporting to a .swf or .fla from InDesign CS6 - issues with timeline when opened in Flash.

Hello,
Looking for help with exporting files for Flash. I have tried both .swf and fla exports from InDesign for the animations I have created. The .swf file will play fine in Flash player but I am having no luck using the .swf or .fla file in Flash. The .fla file will open in Flash but there is no time-line. I can import the .swf file into Flash, but again there is no timeline - all the graphics and elements are visible in the library.
- Is there a particular way the file(s) have to be exported from InDesign in order for them to appear with a time line in Flash?
- Are there particular do's and dont's when it comes to creating InDesign files that are going to be used as Flash animation?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Jamie

The page turning animations in an exported swf are accomplished via ActionScript—they are not timeline based tween animations. You might be able to decompile the swf and get to the code, but I've never tried it. Google SWF decompiler.
When you export to fla the animation ActionScript code is not included, so you lose the page turn animations. Each spread is saved as a MovieClip and the clips appear on sequential keyframes of the root timeline. With an fla it's up to you to write any animation code.

Adding multiple swf files to Dreamweaver

I'm trying to upload multiple .swf files to my website with
no luck. I've done this with previous versions of Dreamweaver but
with CS3 I'm finding it won't happen. I've done the Insert ->
Media -> Flash action as before and exported my files to be read
in Adobe Player 8 but nothing then happens after the files have
been uploaded yet locally everything works fine. I've uploaded a
scripts file also but all of the .swf files are linked from
different folders, could this have any effect?
What am I doing wrong?
Chris.

Generally making sure that the SWFs are at the remote
location where you think they are supposed to be (and where the
code thinks they are supposed to be) as well as making sure that
the active content JavaScript file(s) are uploaded and are present
where the page is expecting them to be. Beyond that, for anyone to
see what is wrong with your page(s), you have to post a link to
your page(s).

Loading multiple swfs using air 3.6 for ios

Adobe, can you please provide us with the code to load multiple swf files for ios. Please provide examples. The code below loads multiple swfs, but the swfs stall, so this does not seem to be a solution.
Code description: A flash file made up of 4 frames with forward and back buttons that navigate from frame to frame. The code loads three different swf files in frames 2, 3 and 4.
Frame 1:
var myLoader:Loader;
var loaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain, null);
if(myLoader == null){myLoader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); }
else {myLoader.unload();}
Frame 2:
myLoader.unload();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("file1.swf"),loaderContext);
Frame 3:
myLoader.unload();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("file2.swf"),loaderContext);
Frame 4:
myLoader.unload();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("file3.swf"),loaderContext);

I've just tried loading, unloading and then loading again same SWF with 2 library objects linked for AS3 export. It worked both on simulator and on device in debug mode. When I look inside swf it does contain AS3 code.
So is my swf a pure asset SWF? Or Intellij Idea 12 that I'm using does stripping automatically?
And then I've read your comment at http://forums.adobe.com/message/5217325#5217325 and run 'swfdump' utility on my .swf file. Looks like there's no ABC2 code, that's why app was able to load, unload and load again the same swf.
