Embedding a Flash animation in a Flash Site

I'm looking for a solution to the following problem. I am
developing my website in Flash and I would like to show examples of
interactive flash animations I have developed. I imported my my
.swf animation to my flash site library, but when I drag and drop
it to the stage the following happens:
1. The animation plays from frame to frame without stopping.
2. Elements which were hidden (off the stage) in the
animation now show up on the stage.
3. When I open the animation in edit view (double click the
animation on the stage) the entire animation appears as individual
frames on one timeline.
I would like to maintain the interactivity of the animation
on the site (i.e. buttons, tool tips) and I suspect there is a way
to embed the animation in the flash site while in flash.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You don't really want to add new files that way. In addition
to the problems that you list, you will also be making one, large,
file. This means that it will take longer to download, and possibly
play poorly.
You should keep these independent .swf files as they are, and
"import" them using either AS2's loadMovie() or AS3's URLRequest()
to bring each file into your movie.

  • I can't open a flash animation made in Flash CS6 in CS5

    I created a Flash Animation for a school project in Adobe Flash CS6 at home, and at school which uses Adobe Flash CS5, I can't open the flash file.  Is there anyway I can make this happen, because until then I can't work on my project.

    Flash Pro CS6 supports saving as a Flash CS5.5 or Flash CS5 documents(fla and XFLs).
    You can save this to either of these formats using the File->Save As option

  • Cannot View Flash animations after Installing Flash Player 9!!!!

    Ok I installed the new FLash 9 player... ever since I did
    this, all flash animations show up blank, no red x, nothing,m just
    plain ol empty space where the animation should be... I tried all
    the "so called" fixes, from adjusting the registry, to uninstalling
    and reinstalling with reboots, and same thing happens. Flash works
    fine in Firefox tho, but not IE!
    Someone please help! i know i am not the only one who has
    this problem. We have a few other machines here at work with the

  • How to add a flash animation into another flash presentation? Help!!!

    I made an animation and I am wanting to add it to a flash portfolio that I am now creating. I am creating the portfolio so I can send it to potential employers. I am new to Flash but not to Illustrator, Photoshop or InDesign. I am adding several different files from those other programs to the porfolio and want to add a few Flash creations also.So how can I easliy bring the Flash animations into the Presentation? I want the animation to play in the same timeline but I don't want to have to recreate the whole thing or recreate the portfolio. What type of file format does the animation need to be to play? Can this be done?

    In AS2 you can use loadmovie to load a .swf into another .swf.

  • Flash animations jerky (was: Flash advice sought)

    I created a 4-minute Flash, with many PNG images.
    I checked "Allow smoothing" in all image Properties panels.
    FPS is 30.
    But the Flash is still jerky, not a smooth animation in a number of spots. Need a solution.
    I outputted the Flash to a a movie file, then made it into a MP4 in  Media Encoder and uploaded to Youtube.
    Still see the jerkiness in the motion.
    I am using Adobe's CC 2014-2015 latest apps.
    Please advise what I can do to eliminate all jerky motion. Thank you.

    your swf has poor performance, or is what you call 'jittery'.
    here's an excerpt from a book i wrote, Flash Game Development: In a Social, Mobile and 3D World
    Optimization Techniques
    Unfortunately, I know of no completely satisfactory way to organize this information. In what follows, I discuss memory management first with sub-topics listed in alphabetical order. Then I discuss CPU/GPU management with sub-topics listed in alphabetical order.
    That may seem logical but there are, at least, two problems with that organization.
    I do not believe it is the most helpful way to organize this information.
    Memory management affects CPU/GPU usage, so everything in the Memory Management section could also be listed in the CPU/GPU section.
    Anyway, I am going to also list the information two other ways, from easiest to hardest to implement and from greatest to least benefit.
    Both of those later listings are subjective and are dependent on developer experience and capabilities, as well as, the test situation and test environment. I very much doubt there would be a consensus on ordering of these lists.  Nevertheless, I think they still are worthwhile.
    Easiest to Hardest to Implement
    Do not use Filters.
    Always use reverse for-loops and avoid do-loops and avoid while-loops.
    Explicitly stop Timers to ready them for gc (garbage collection).
    Use weak event listeners and remove listeners.
    Strictly type variables whenever possible.
    Explicitly disable mouse interactivity when mouse interactivity not needed.
    Replace dispatchEvents with callback functions whenever possible.
    Stop Sounds to enable Sounds and SoundChannels to be gc'd.
    Use the most basic DisplayObject needed.
    Always use cacheAsBitmap and cacheAsBitmapMatrix with air apps (i.e., mobile devices).
    Reuse Objects whenever possible.
    Event.ENTER_FRAME loops: Use different listeners and different listener functions applied to as few DisplayObjects as possible.
    Pool Objects instead of creating and gc'ing Objects.
    Use partial blitting.
    Use stage blitting.
      16. Use Stage3D
    Greatest to Least Benefit
    Use stage blitting (if there is enough system memory).
    Use Stage3D.
    Use partial blitting.
    Use cacheAsBitmap and cacheAsBitmapMatrix with mobile devices.
    Explicitly disable mouse interactivity when mouse interactivity not needed.
    Do not use Filters.
    Use the most basic DisplayObject needed.

  • When importing a flash animation into captivate flash will not call external files

    Is there a way to import flash into captivate and it still be able to call external files (ie. sound, video xml)? When I import flash into captivate it will not call any external file.

    Hi all
    Wow, I was so hoping fellow Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst would pop in on this thread.
    Why? Well, Paul sent me a way cool gizmo a while back that hacked the Info button. It used an external file for some of the information! So somehow Paul managed to sort what it took to insert a Flash object into Captivate and have that object extract data from an externally located file.

  • Flash animation in hidden layer

    I have created a page with a hidden layer which contains a
    Flash animation. The Flash animation plays and in the end it should
    call another page which it does. As long as the layer is hidden it
    should do nothing but when the layer becomes visible it should play
    it's content and get the page. This works fine in IE but in Firefox
    the animation starts playing immediately and gets the page even
    though it's hidden. Can anyone help me out here?
    Thanks in advance!
    Robin Meeuwsen

    Hi Robin,
    Except for the sarcasm, I do agree with Alan and Bonnie
    - Don't see a hidden layer and the animation plays as soon as
    you open the page.
    If you try the flash forums, they may have some advanced
    action scripting which would maybe let you achieve what you want -
    the movie should play only when the layer is visible.
    In my opinion, some user interaction or external trigger
    would be required with the flash movie (not the layer/html content)
    to trigger a change - make the movie stop or make it play.
    A suggestion for you-
    You need to apply the fix for active content so the flash
    movie doesn't show an alert "click to activate and use this
    control". Incase you're using dreamweaver8, if you update to 8.0.2,
    the fix comes with the update. The update is available on the Adobe
    site.
    If you have an earlier version ths site linked below may
    help:

  • Get border when resizing flash anim in dreamweaver

    Hello, I'm needing some help , I'm not sure weather its something i'm doing in dreamweaver or weather I need to export the flash anim with the document properties just a little bit smaller than the flash anim when exporting when in theory shouldn't have to do?
    the problem I'm having is I export a flash anim out of flash I make sure the document properties and the flash anim line up so theres no visible boarder when exiting.
    when I'm at the button stage and drag onto the stage to be able to export, ( sometimes I find that the flash border - say if my anim is 220 by 185 . when i click on it (dragged button with movie inside from libarary to stage)
    the stage - as I am told I can't export a flash anim with an alpha white off the flash stage I have to make the stage the same size as the button -
    So i make the stage size 220 by 185 when I'm dragging the button to line up to the stage I find sometimes its off?
    Is there a better way to export a flash anim as it is without having to change stage properties then dragging the button to fit the stage then get url options ect.
    anyways. I am finding that I am having to make the stage size (in flash ) a few extra pixels smaller than the box button 220 by 185 so what i'm doing is making the stage say 218 by 183 to then draggin the button inbetween the lines on the doccument border in flash. then exporting.
    I find if i Don't do this sometimes in dreamweaver, when I open dreamweaver instert app div then import swf into the app dif then resize the swf I get a boarder.
    But even then I find sometimes if i do an app div then insert media swf and resize the swf i get a border, say if i make the boarder properties in flash red.
    sometimes I get a red boarder.
    but on other pages say i have a about page I resized it its fine then on another page import app dive then impor the exact same swf file resize it it suddenly gets a boarder (i'm testing using red backround in flash when exporting as a movie.
    why do sometimes I get a boarder around swf in an app div when importing into dreamweaver.
    thanks kindly

    I read this twice and still don't quite know what you're asking.  Flash questions are best posted in the Flash forum.
    Animations used in Web pages should be sized appropriately before you bring them into Dreamweaver.   Same goes for static images.  If you need a 200px wide banner, design it at 200px wide.
    As for APDivs, honestly don't know why you would need one. A regular CSS division (no positioning) is all that's required for 98% of layouts.   http://apptools.com/examples/pagelayout101.php
    For answers to layout questions, we need a link to your test page.

  • Flash animations run slowly on Internet Explorer 9

    Hi all,
            I recently downloaded and installed the Internet Explorer 9 RC from Microsoft and updated my Flash player to version 10,2,152,26 .  I am having issues running Flash animations and other Flash objects within that browser. All of them, even the animation on http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about is sluggish and jerky on my computer. On the flash videos on YouTube, the entire page will not even render, and a black box will show up where the video is. I will be able to hear the audio from the video, but the video itself will not play. I cannot control anything on the page, and my CPU usage skyrockets to 100% and holds there. I have not been having this problem on any other pages, and I have IE9 set to software rendering as opposed to GPU rendering.

    3 GHz single core AMD Athlon Processor

  • Integrating Flash Animation Components in Standard iPhone Application

    Hi there,
    Will it be possible in Flash CS5 to use a flash animation in a generic OpenGL ES Frame as a GFX component ?
    For example I have a OpenGL ES Frame were I am drawing polygons, rasters and stuff with standard Objective C, and I would like to add, on top of that, a Flash animation generated by Flash CS5. The kind of thing we can do with Scaleform for example.
    That would be just great ^^
    Fabien

    In the Flash CS5 Beta we have seen this was definitely not possible.

  • Help starting off with Flash animations?

    I just started to make flash animations using Adobe Flash CS4, but there's something I just don't understand.
    To create an animated object, I know I have to create a new movie clip symbol, animate it, and then put it in the main scene. But when I drag the symbol from the library to the main scene, only the first frame of the animation is copied! How can I copy the entire animation of a movie clip symbol to the main scene?

    If I'm correct, you say that I should press enter to play the animation, but pressing enter does nothing when I'm in the main scene (in fact, the Play command under the Control tab is greyed out). Right now I can see how my animation is going by going to Control -> Test Movie, but then it creates a swf file and then plays it, which means I can't play from a specific frame (right now my animation is small so it's ok, but having to go through all of it when it's longer will be problematic!). Anyway, thanks for the replies.
