›Cut‹ imported FLV for SWF's output length

Hello!
I'd preferred to post my question on a better place, but I did not see one (as stupid as I am) .
My question is a simple one. I got a video (als FLV) and emebed it into an AIR project. Now let my video has have an opening and maybe a closing sequence which I do not plan to export into my SWF wich is result of my work. The video (here) ›is‹ the maximum of timeline.
How can I control that only from begin frame/time-stamp to end frame/time-stamp my SWF is exported, everthing before or after is cut (or igenored)?
I do not paln to cut the project itself, save it as a cut version, no need to. It is just good enough to me to mark begin and end of the sequnce written out to SWF. Do I finally need to deal with ActionScript?
Markus Erich

Was my request so misunderstandable..?
Can I set a ›left‹ and a ›right‹ margin for the SWF «snipplet» that is exported from the total project; dicertly within FlashCS4?
Or do I neet ActionScript to control this?
Or ist this impossible?

Create a new document with settings appropriate for SWF or XFL output.

I'm studying up for the CS4 ACE exam, and I'm stumped on something. In the "Laying out a Document" section, it says: "Create a new document with settings appropriate for SWF or XFL output." There isn't really anything specific to creating a document for flash, except that you wouldn't add bleed. I can't find anything online that addresses this. Am I missing something here? Any document can be exported to SWF or XFL. This seems rather ambiguous. What is there to know about this?

You're right that any document can be exported to SWF or XFL. I'm not sure what you're going to be asked on the ACE exam, but here are some resources:

Can final cut import .swf files?

I need to purchase screen capture software and have found Screenography from Vertical Moon. The only problem is it can only output to flash. Can final cut import flash and if not is there any other decent software out there?

Cheers. Just purchased Snapz Pro and its great.
You might want to try:

You have to export to quicktime or something else first then import into this software and it will convert to flash.

Setting output length of desired values for a Field in Smartforms.

Hi,
I'm working right now on 4.6c system and I have a field declared as "String" in the Global Definition, on viewing the output in the print preview i find that it is printing only 255 characters while the actual field value is more than that (somewhere around 600+).
Could you please help me out in as to how to declare this particular field in Smartforms.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Divaker

check this
Re: Output length restricted to 255 when running ALV report in background
in that case u have to create a new Print Format which can give u complete data in while prining.
format will be like this
65*512.

Controlling FLV and SWF scrubbing at the same time

I have a flash project with an imported swf animation and an
imported flv video. So far I have made a play and pause button that
can play and pause both objects at the same time. Is there way to
make a scrub bar that can control scrubbing through both objects at
the same time.
The FLV and the SWF are the same length and all the
animations in the SWF file are timed to a separate audio file from
the flv I am using so when the flash file is play without any
controls, the swf and the flv play n sync. I have been able to make
separate scrub bars that control the video and the swf separately
but when ever I try to combine the code it does not seem to work.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this starting from
scratch?
for reference:
my video instance name is : myVideo
my swf instance name is: mySwf

Ngarraud,
Try this:
*Multicast Rate / Transmit Power*
Launch Airport Utility.
Select your Time Capsule on the left.
Click "Manual Setup".
Select "Airport" from the toolbar at the top.
Click the "Wireless" tab.
Click the "Wireless Options..." button.
Check the setting for "Multicast Rate".
This setting controls the range at which you allow devices to access your network. Lower is better if you want access throughout the house. But this setting won't improve speed. Tesserax has a nice explanation of this setting in the following quote:
+"The Multicast Rate option sets the threshold throughput level a wireless client must obtain in order to be "accepted" by the base station. The lower this value, theoretically, the greater number of clients that can connect, especially those at greater distances from the base station. At the opposite end, the higher this number, only those wireless clients that can achieve the higher throughput value will be able to connect.+ [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6736587]
Next, verify that your "Transmit Power: is set to 100%.
*Interference Robustness / Use Wide Channels*
Finally, ensure that "Interference Robustness" is checked (For certain network configurations this setting will say "Use Wide Channels. Verify that it is checked nonetheless.)
Help Doc states: +"You may experience network performance problems if a microwave oven or other source of interference is used frequently near your base station or Time Capsule. To help minimize interference, turn on interference robustness."+
Let us know if this was helpful.
Cheers!

Can you fix your help project (via coding) after importing a topic from an output file by mistake?

Yes - I admit it - I imported html topic files from an output folder of another RH project into the help project I am currently working on (the source files were lost and I needed to bring over a lot of legacy content in a hurry). However, I completely forget that the RH output html file contains unique Java scripting that is used to render the topic properly in a browser, but that same Java Script causes havoc when you open it up in as a source file in another RH Project. Needless to say, it has caused numerous weird things when I went to publish and view my files (but, surprisingly, you don’t really see or notice them in the RH Design WYSIWYG view or preview mode).
The bad news is that it took about 2 weeks for me to notice the issue (the help output is viewed on a special console running Linux with a QT browser that I only view occasionally). The good news is that is that I figured out what the problem was (that took some hours) and I can restore my help project back to a time before I did the "naughty deed".
I am now at a crossroads - do I:
Try to re-enter all of my content from the last two weeks? (Actually, to avoid repeating the same mistake twice, I will need to re-enter the text manually and NOT cut and paste from the RH output files!)
Or locate and find the offending HTML coding in my topic files (if that is even possible)? Has anybody documented what the RH output file JavaScript code injects into your files, and what files they affect?

OK - here is the documentation of this weird issue (hopefully, you can read the htlm code in the screen images):
1. In this topic, I cut and pasted some text into the table you see at the bottom of the screen. I had to reapply the “TableBody” style to this text. After doing this, I moved my cursor to the “Keyboard" text on top. Notice that it is displaying the "TABLEBODY" style, although visually, it is displaying the correct style on screen (“Heading 1”).
2.     In HTML view, notice the addition of the class= “TableBody”> code for this “Keyboard” text.
3.   I then reselected Heading 1 for this “Keyboard” text.
4.   Notice that the class= “TableBody”> code is now removed for this “Keyboard” text and has just the proper <h1> tagged assigned.

RFC export variable with different output length.

I have an RFC returning language from R/3 with Datatype SY-LANGU. When I run RFC from R/3, I see language being returned in two chars. But I get only one char when I run the same from Web Dynpro.
When I look at Web Dynpro model dictionary, It is imported with fixed length '1" and external length as "2".
From ABAP Dictionary it is of one char, But output length is two chars with some conversion routine.
Is it possible to get language output in web Dynpro with two chars with out changing the signature of the RFC?

Hi,
I think you can achive this.
You can involve value attribute context for this tranformation.

Recommended size for .SWF on website???

Hi there,
I'm producing an interactive video piece for my New Media masters project. I've put it up on my website, and was wondering out of curiousity, whats the recommended upper limit for the size of a .SWF file on the internet to run smoothly? I realise CPU and internet speeds vary greatly from machine to machine along with RAM, but is there a general upper limit which shouldn't be exceeded for .SWFs?
My project's .SWF is currently at 260kb. It also pulls in .FLVs that are between 800kb - 1.5mb and .mp3s between 1.5mb - 2mb via XML.
The latest prototype of my project is at www.keithwoods.co.uk if anyone's interested and would like to leave me some feedback on this post on how smoothly it ran on your particular machine and any other comments welcome.
Cheers!

Thanks for that Ned,
I had a feeling I was going about it the right way but just wanted to check.
I remember hearing something about the 10 second rule for a webpage to load, and if it was any longer than visitors would get impatient (goes to show what TV's done to our attention spans!)
I don't know if I've made this one up but is it recommended that webpages shouldn't really exceed 1mb if you want it to load quickly, or is that not as important now broadband is becoming more prevalent?

Timer over flv or swf

Is it possible to put a flv or swf on a frame and in a frame above or below or for that matter on the frame itself have a timer that I could time to be the same as the flv or swf. I would like to do the in actionscript 2. The idea behind this would be if I had a 30 second video I could set the timer for 30 seconds so upon completion, or in other words after the 30 seconds it would gotoAndPlay the frame requested. If so, would you have the command to do so?
Thanks,
mark

I have initially loaded it as an flv using the file/import/import video. I don't know how else to load it, but if there is a better way, I am certainly willing to learn. I am making a quiz with video answers so I would like to keep this is AS2 since I know how to do this. My initial thought was to create a timer that would keep the frame with the video open long enough for it to play then specify a frame to go to. I have looked online and found alot of code to do this, but I haven't found anything that works. I realize that I am new and probably don't have the knowledge, so I am looking for a simple solution if possible.

Importing & controlling external .swf in Captivate 5

Hi,
I have a main file built in Captivate 5. This file has static slides with text and graphics, in one slide, I have to insert a demo which is smaller in dimension.
So I have recorded this demo as a separate Captivate file and published as .swf.
I have then imported this demo .swf in the main Captivate file as Insert > Animation.
But I am not able to control this demo(Play/Pause, Slider) by the main Captivate control bar.
Please help me regarding this.
Regards,
Sachin

Hi,
Please publish the demo as FLV/F4V instead of swf.
Insert the FLV into the main Captivate movie as FLV object - Insert FLV or F4V file.
In the Properties panel for the FLV, Select
Skin - None
Timing -> Rest of slide. Uncheck "Pause slide till end of video" option.
Check "Synchronize with Project option".
Preview the movie.
Now it is possible to control the Play/Pause of the embedded FLV from the main Captivate movie timeline.
Do let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Sushma

How do I convert from AVI or FLV to SWF file?

First, I'm a complete Flash novice...this is the first time
I've dealt with any FLV or SWF files. So, please forgive my
ignorance on these topics. I have several small AVI files and have
successfully converted them to FLV format via Premiere Pro CS3 and
Adobe Media Encoder. But the client is also asking for SWF files of
the same videos. I've looked and looked for a way to save SWF
files. I tried pulling the video into Flash CS3, and saving as SWF,
but since I know nothing about using Flash, I don't seem to be
doing it correctly...seems like I'm getting just a single blank
frame. I've looked at the dozens of third party programs that claim
to be able to convert FLV to SWF, but the one I downloaded "Free
Video to Flash Converter" generated an SWF file that doesn't seem
to be playable anywhere. If there is a click-by-click method for
using Flash to perform the conversion, I'd be ever so grateful.
Again, please forgive my Flash-ignorance. Thanks for your help.

Why doesn't Flash have a built-in capability to convert FLV
to SWF? It's an obvious need and there are 3rd party programs of
varying quality that do it. Why should people who have already
purchased Flash need to look for something that handles this OK and
then install it on their machines?

FLV to SWF to embed in a PDF?

Hi All,
I have been given a pdf (possibly built with InDesign?) and
two flv files. I have to embed the video into the PDF. How do I do
this, or more accurately, what is the best way to do this.
I have Acrobat Professional 8 and the Professional Studio
suite, including Flash Pro 8, at my disposal. I think I need to
convert the flv to swf (how is this best achieved) and then embed
the swf into the PDF using Acrobat Pro 8 (how is that best
achieved)?
The video's are no longer than 1.30 minutes, fairly static
(man speaking at a desk and woman cooking).
Thanks for any pointers.
Nick Barling

With the link tool of Adobe Acrobat you can overlay a link which does nothing.

Need help with FLV type SWF playback in flash movie

Hi,
I have three external SWF files from a client without FLA
sources. The SWFs were done 3 years ago by someone else so there is
no way to modify the existing SWF files. These contain no
interactivity but may involve nested clips on the main timeline.
They are AS1 or AS2 files so they need to be done with AS2
scripting to keep it simple.
I need to call these SWF files inside another flash movie and
play them in a player window as if they were video files with
play/pause, seekbar and volume controls. The needed functionality
is similar to FLV players. My controls will use custom graphic
buttons and sliders mimicking the look of CNN video player window.
Does anyone know a good tutorial on how to script these
controls for SWF?
Most likely I think I will load it in a clip and I am
thinking that I will need to get the duration of the loaded swf in
order to set up the seekbar.
Thanks in advance,
Attila

I think your professor, or somebody, gave you directions with ActionScript 2 programming. In AS2, what oyu have here would have worked just fine. But, in AS3, you need to use a fairly different approach. Your buttons, and their instance name, can remain the same. But now, in AS3, you have to add event listeners in the following manner:
yourButtonName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, yourListenerFunction);
In your case, you can do one of two things - A) assign a unique listener function to each button, or B) assign the same listsner to both functions:
A)
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startPolygon);
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopPolygon);
function startPolygon(e:MouseEvent):void{
    polygon.play();
function stopPolygon(e:MouseEvent):void{
    polygon.stop();
B)
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, controlPolygon);
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, controlPolygon);
function controlPolygon(e:MouseEvent):void{
   if (e.target.name == "start_btn") {//Test for the name of the object that dispatched the CLICK event
      polygon.play();
   } else if (e.target.name == "stop_btn") {
      polygon.stop();
When I'm using several buttons that do the same/nearly similar things, I favor approach B over A, as it keeps me to jsut one single function to deal with.

Adding .flv or .swf in dreamweaver on top of background image

Hi,
I added an image background 1900 x 1200 in dreamweaver, which will serve as my background image for my web site. I would like to incorporate my .flv or .swf on top of my background image. Although, when doing so, the .flv or .swf gets placed under the background image and not on top. How do I place the .flv or .swf file on top of my background image in Dreamweaver CS5.
Thanks

Hi
This sounds as though you are not actually using a background-image but just placing an image on the page. To get any help people will have to see your page and the code, can you provide a link to a live page?
BTW: Your background-image size is way to big for most users monitors, just thought you should know.
