Edit a .swf file to place animation part in PPT.

I have windows 7 64bit installed with adobe CS6 full suite. i am trying to learn more about flash and adobe products in general. however i have a project i need to complete with power point slides were i want to take this packetsniffer.swf file and it to my MS power point slide. i need to open the .swf file and edit a couple slides out of it. I only need the one animation in it. how do i do this with adobe flash or some other application. then i will need help putting it in the power point slide show as a slide animation. thanks

An FLA is the source file you use to make a SWF. The original creator of the SWF file would have it.
There are many SWF decompilers out there, some paid, some free. You'll just have to Google it and experiment.

Editing a swf file with Adobe Flash cc or Dreamweaver

Hi,
I have a .swf file which is embedded in to a html file, I need to make changes in the swf section of the file which Dreamweaver can not help me with it.
I tried to click on the swf file and take it to Flash cc, but still I can not edit and make changes.
If I dont have the fla files, I can not edit the .swf file at all?
I have all the applications of the creative cloud but couldnt find any of them helpful in this matter.
Is there any help?
Thanks,

I have no experience with any decompilers beyond possibly attempting to trial one once. The only one I have seen recommended is made by Sothink.
Here is a link to a page with a tool that has an interface you can use to determine various properties of an swf file, including the Actionscript version.

Edit a SWF file from Dreamweaver in Flash

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7acf. html

If you've created the FLA file then rendered the SWF, you can locate it in your disk
If you're using just a SWF file such as a player.swf or something similar that you downloaded from a website, I'm sorry but you're out of luck! DW requires that you have the FLA source to edit the SWF file that you're using within DW.

Modify or edit a .swf file

Hi,
with the option to modify or edit a .swf file?
Can you give clarifications?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply,
but I don't have the file.fla.
What can I do?

How do I edit a .swf file in edge animate? How do I save it as a swf file?

Hello, I need to edit the actionscript in a swf animation file. How do you do that with Edge animate?

There is no such workflow for swf files.
Edge animate only understands html, javascript. SWF files are alien to it.
You should be using Flash Professional CC, for generating the swf files.

How to edit a SWF file

Hello,
I'm a newbie so please try to help me with a simple solution.
I have a flash banner that is designed to run animation
continuously, I need it to stop running after 15 seconds. What's
the easiest way to do so?
This is very important for me so I'd appreciate a swift
reply.
Thanks.

You consider everybody, who wishes to edit SWF and has no
FLA, as a stealers. You're not right
I hope you aren't implying that statement coming from me. I
said nothing to that effect. Why would you even be reading a post 2
months old? I'm sure the answer was either found or the post is no
longer relative.
quote:
Many of such people are pretty legal owners of the Flash
contents, they want to modify.
Legal or not, if an advertiser requested a swf file to stop
after so many seconds, why not either provide someone the flash
file in order to be able to do it, or have the originator do it
themselves? I am/was not questioning the legality of this
alteration, but was questioning the fact of why the flash file was
not provided to pascalinam and/or why he was attempting to alter
something that could easily be done by the originator.

Having problems when exporting .swf file as an animated gif

Hi:
I was wondering if anyone has ever had any issues exporting a
flash file as an animated gif? When I do so, the image quality is
very compromised and the animation is distorted. I know this is not
very specific question, but I have never encountered this issue
before, and I am trying to help a co-worker. I don't understand why
it looks exactly the way we want it to look as an swf file, but not
as an animated gif? Can anyone point me in the right direction as
to what to look for as the potential source of this problem? I have
the swf file, although this would not be very helpful as I don't
have access to the flash file (but I can send it to you if that
would help). We tried unchecking the feature to optimize the image,
and changed the color pallete to adaptive, but this didn't solve
the problem. I also tried removing any unnecessary layers prior to
the export. Basically, I'm not sure as to how to proceed and what
may be causing the problem. I also want to mention there is a
placed image on the stage. Could the type of image placed be
causing the problem when exporting to a gif file, but not as a
.swf? If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it! Thanks.
Sara

I also wanted to mention that the swf file uses sound. I am
reading an old book that I have on Flash and it's saying that Flash
and Shockwave Flash enter a special mode when they encounter a
stream sound in which the animation is forced to keep up with the
sound track, if the animation frames can not be drawn quickly
enough, some frames are skipped. I am also reading that the
animated gif format does not support sound. Again, the only
reference I have is for a very old version of flash, and I'm not
sure it applies to CS3. I am now just thinking that the sound may
be the issue.

Edit/change swf files in pages based on DW templates

I have seen how to make banners or pictures editable by using the »Editable Tag Attribute« function. But when I want to do the same with a swf banner I don't get the option SCR in the popup menu, but: ID, CLASSID, WIDTH and HIGHT instead. I have tried to add other attributes as well, but none of them seem to work. Do anyone know how to solve this problem, so I can define a knew swf on every new page?

I would do this by creating the circles in Illustrator and assigning them with a formula in Excel so they can just come in with the merge.
Use this formula, substituting your values
=IF(A2>75,"Green.jpg",IF(A2>49,"Yellow.jpg",IF(A2<50,"Red.jpg",)))
Then just have placeholders for the circles. (note that the title of the column must begin with '@ for DataMerge to see this as an image field. (Make sure the csv file is in the same folder with the images.)

Are SWF files editable?

Sometimes a client asks me to do something that I think is
impossible, so I'm asking just in case the universe has changed
since the last time I poked my head outside my office. Don't want
to get caught with egg on my face.
Is it possible to edit a .swf file? I have a client that sent
me a couple of .swf files but needs a completely new sized banner
ad. I could probably rebuild the whole thing but then it would take
longer than I'd like and more time than he probably wants to pay.
So I'm asking. Is it possible?
Thanks to everyone out there in the universe

haha Walter, I had to smile when I read your Spears/monks
comment. :)
Even more important, Walter hit on an interpretation of pcgs'
question that
didn't even occur to me. Absolutely! As long as a SWF wasn't
protected --
though protected SWFs can be unprotected, too, with 3rd party
software --
then yes, it can be imported into a new FLA and edited.
Useful as that can be for some purposes, importing does
convert all
motion to frame-by-frame animation, which tends to increase
re-published
file size in contrast to tween-based animation. In addition,
directly
imported SWFs leave behind their audio assets and any
ActionScript they may
contain. In a sense, you're importing the vector equivalent
of a video file
or animated GIF. Decompiling -- at least, with SoThink --
gives you a
working FLA out the gate, complete with audio, code, and just
everything
(that I can see) that was in the original source file. But
again, the
assets are no longer named in a useful way, and if memory
serves me, neither
are those of imported SWFs. So any which way you slice it,
it's best to
work with original source!
Thanks to Walter's suggestion, I'll also mention that
external SWFs can
be loaded at runtime, which *does* maintain audio and coding
(see the
MovieClipLoader class in the ActionScript 2.0 Language
Reference or the
Loader class in the ActionScript 3.0 Language Reference). I
don't think
pcgs is looking for this last approach, but now that I'm
thinking outside of
the box I was stuck in last time, I thought it might be worth
the mention.

How to I make my animated vector images better quality when exporting to a SWF file?

I created an interactive PDF and SWF file. My animation only works on the SWF file, but the vector image is low res. On the PDF it doesn't animate (which I know,) but it's high res. However, the SWF file animated, but looks low res. Thoughts?

Changing text to an image should never be considered since there is no content for the SEO spiders and the images will slow your page download time to a crawl.
This page shows web safe fonts and also how you need to use hosted fonts if you want something different...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Fonts-Colors.html
The above method uses an HTML snippet and, since this is fairly cumbersome, is only suitable for adding features like special headings. It does allow you to add text shadow using CSS rather than all these wasteful PNG images.
To use hosted fonts on a whole site you would need to add CSS styles in the head of the HTML doc for every page of your site. But its not low tech and, if you could do this, you wouldn't be using iWeb!

How to edit or modify a .swf file?

I am trying to edit a .swf file and make some changes in the css styles.How to edit or modify a .swf file?

You need the fla file that created the swf. You edit the fla and publish the swf. Swf's don't usually involve css styles.

Opening and Editing SWF files

Does anyone know if there is a way to open and edit a SWF file.

No, you have to have the fla file to edit. You can purchase/use a decompiler to convert the swf into an fla file, but I have no experience or recommendations to offer regarding that... only hear-say--towards the negative side

Editing an SWF or FLA file

I have both the FLA and SWF files for a website template I
bought. I am trying to edit the file in Flash CS4 using the
following instructions. But I never see any of this code - all I
get are errors and the Movie timeline. How do I get to the code to
modify it? I'm a total novice at Flash but I want to learn.
Flash CS3/CS4 - additional changes
There are some differences between Flash MX 2004 and Adobe
Flash CS3, and therefore you need to make some small changes to the
FLA file if you want to edit the FLA file
To do this you need to open the photographer.fla file, go to
the act layer, and then in the first frame you will see the
following code:
stop();
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "T";
_root.pagen=0
_root.loadVariables("text.html", 0, "POST");
You should replace it with the code below and then save the
changes and export it as an SWf file.
stop();
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "T";
_root.pagen=0
_root.loadVariables("text.html");

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!

Swf file inclusion

Hi,
How can i embedd a swf(flash file) in the login of the enterprise portal .i changed the images and text using the logon par file downloaded to nwds . i want to embed a swf file in place of the images in portal login
Thanks&Regards
Prasad

You have to Change the Logon Page Image using NWDS.
To change the image in the logon page follow thest steps
1.Import the logon par file to NWDS
2.Place your image (logo.swf) in the folder dist-->layout.
3.In the imported project goto dist>portal-inf>umLogonPage.jsp
4.In that use this coding format
<embed src="<%=webpath%>logo.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="151" height="110"></embed>
5.Deploy ur project and check by running it in NWDS itself.
6.if u get correct result then make it as a default logon page by changing authschemes.xml
Note:
This is to change only the logo image.u can change the any sap images and the texts also in the same way by replacing the concern image codes.

Swf file has stopped playing in 'live' browser only

Hello everyone,
Hope you can help with this, whilst working on my site one of the swf files stopped playing when viewed in the browser (live). The file plays ok from Dreamweaver from both local view and remote view. Went onto web server cpanel and played the swf file ok from there as well. Have checked the code and all seems fine, I wasn't even working with that file when it went wrong, all I done was replaced a png picture with a swf file on a different part of the page, this new swf plays fine along with all other swf files on my site. I have uploaded and syncronised both the page and swf files again but still no joy.
I really am stumped for an answer, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Stuart

Here's the link, but after 3 hours of not playing it started to play by itself after I added a favicon (which still isn't working) to the index page.
That is really strange and a bit worrying as it seems to have a mind of it's own. It also happened once before on another page when I was adding content to the site. I was able to kickstart that one by uploading the page again from local.
The swf file which wasn't playing is midway down page showing drawings.

At least it's working now although I feel scared to touch the site in case I loose it/another again.
Thanks for the reply.
