'Error Creating Flash Movie File'

It says "Be sure the destination file is not locked or on a
locked drive. Also, check that the file name is not too long."
I don't see how either of those could be a possibility. And I
get this whether I'm testing the file or publishing it.
Anyone have an idea what's going on?

It's not just Mac, I'm also having the same problem in
Windows. CS3 and CF8 both running on the same machine. After I use
DW to preview my site in the browser, then making changes in Flash
and attempting to republish or preview in browser again, I get the
same error. If you try to modify or delete the SWF file Windows
won't allow it. It's like CF is keeping the SWF file open after
closing the browser?
I am only able to free up the SWF by restarting the CF8
Application Server service.
A real pain in the butt!!

Flash CS3 says"Error creating Flash movie...not enough memory available."have 100GB of virtual mem

With large .fla files I often can't get Flash to output .swf files. Usually I get the message "Error creating Flash movie. There was not enough memory available." Sometimes though Flash looks as if it has finished publishing (although slightly too quickly to have really done it), and then there has not been a .swf file created.
Sometimes it's simply a matter of restarting Flash and trying again a few times until Flash decides to cooperate. But now I have a file that just seems like it will never output. My computer has 3 GB of RAM and 100 GB of virtual memory. The .fla file is 152 MG and the .swf would probably be about 20-25 MB.
If there is a workaround in CS3, that would be great. If not, I would upgrade to CS5, if I knew that it would not have the same problem.
I was told by at least two people at Adobe support that the problem has gone away with CS5, but I downloaded the CS5 trial version, and it will not output a .swf of my project. In this case it doesn't give the error message, but just fails silently.

Has this memory limitation been fixed in CS4 or CS5? I have to say, I'm geting really fed up with having to
spend hours coaxing Flash to output .swfs. Is there a reason that it can't use the
3MB of Ram available to it?

Error creating swf movie file

Hello,
I'm trying to create a virtual world but every time I try and publish it, it says error creating swf movie file. Here's a video to show you what i mean:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRAAGoQK80A&feature=youtu.be

Hi foxxy123,
Two things that I noticed in the video:
1) You are not saving the file before publishing.
2) Flash warns you about the fonts missing from your system while opening the file.
"The document contains one or more fonts not available on your system. The text will display and publish with the font mapping below:"
So download and install the fonts on your computer "Blaster" and "Blaster Infinite" and save the file before publishing.
It doesn't seem to be saying error creating swf movie file, it just says something about the font not being right.
The message warn you that you have an anti-alias mode set on text and it requires you to have embedded fonts to use anti-aliasing. If you do not want to see that message anymore, then select your text blocks and set the anti-alias types to Use Device Fonts.
You can disable the warning message in the preferences dialog
Edit > Preferences > Warnings > uncheck "Warn on text needs embedded font".
Hope this helps,
Thanks!

Title error creating flash movie...not enough memory

that's the message I get when I try to publish the project
I'm working on currently in Flash CS3.
I have 4 GB on my computer and no other programs running.
The size of my working .fla file is 405 megs.
Can anyone please help me with this?
Can someone please help me and tell me what to do?

Creating FLASH movies without Macromedia??

What would be the easiest way to create FLASH movie files? Every time I try to do it with Macromedia I end up juggling three apps (after spending an hour or two in the manual) and having to interface with the net before I can see my results.
Is there some app out there that will let me output directly from Final Cut, or that will allow me to just export to a Flash from a Quicktime master?
All ears,
Ben

Aie yie yie,
Thank you guys. I remember I did make an flv file using FCP and Quicktime Conversion - And again with the Flash 8 Video encoder. I think my first dilemma (not being able to just see it immediately) has been solved by using Perian (I'm about to try it out). The second problem is the whole embed thing with the web. I've read through the Macromedia instructions a number of times ... always get lost in their assumptions that I know what their lexicon means. I've put hundreds of Quicktimes up, Windows Media Player, all kinds of formats, no difficulty ... I only put up one Flash file six months ago, with the help of a web designer, and was foolish enough to think I would remember the moves months later. Not.
Thank you for your help,
Ben

Playback of sounds from flash movie files in authorware

Ive imported a flash movie file into authorware but the sound
is not playing back. In flash, I created a movie that includes
graphics and sounds. The movie plays perfectly when I open the
flash player but it doesnt play when imported into Authorware. Ive
tried publishing the flash file as quicktime but had a problem with
the handler on my computer. Does anyone have any
suggestions?

If you click the 'Options' button on the Property panel for
the Flash
movie, is the 'Playback > Sound' checkbox actually checked
in the
resulting dialog box?
When published as QT, what does 'had a problem with the
handler on my
computer' mean? Do you have QT installed on the playback
machine? Are
you using Insert > Media > Quicktime?

How to create a movie file of java 3D animation without altering the code?

Is there a way to create a movie file of a Java 3D animation without altering the source code of the Java 3D animation program???
Because as what I observed, most of the forum recommends extracting the bufferedimages of the animation. And, then using the bufferedimages to do a movie file. In this way, I will need to add in new code in the animation program in order to extract the bufferedimages.
So, is there an alternative way?
My objective is write a program to create movie file of any Java 3D animation.
Pls advise me. Thanks a million.

I'm curious as to why FRAPS will record java3d and
not a java2d app? is there something that Java3d
sets that makes it recognizable by fraps? or?? could
someone or messengers ( =D!) explain this for me?Seems that only in JDK 5.0 or later, does the 2D api automatically use a DirectX or OpenGL rendering pipeline (if available).
Further, these automatic pipelines accelerate polygons and the like, but not low level Graphics2D bit blitting operations.
There are JOGL apis that allow better control over acceleration, and are considered 'thread safe' (single threaded) whereas DirectX pipelines are not.
Interesting demos of this here:
https://jogl-demos.dev.java.net/applettest.html
and
http://www.hardcorepawn.com/RandomGL/
Fraps (commercial) and Taksi (opensource) will reveal that you are actually using acceleration, since they intercept the pipeline at the openGL (and DirectX) level.

Okay, so I try to download and every time it says "There was an error creating a temporary file that is needed to complete the installation". Anyone know how to fix this?

HELP!!!! PLEASE!!!!!

CS4 will not create a movie file, it just stops!

Can anyone help, I am at my wits end trying to create a movie file and have tried over half a dozen formats without success. Everything appears to be going well then it just stops! It was fine the last time I tried it 3 months ago.
Waiting in anticipation for a Premiere Pro expert to come to my aid.

Steve

Export a Flash Movie File

Can you Export Flash Movie files to other formats?? Don see
an Export to other File options.
Would like to Export a Flash Movie or SWF file to a Quicktime
or IPOD MPEG File.
Anyone know where to do this? Do not see an Export to File
option to that Format on Flash Pro CS.
Thanks

Without seeing your movie, its difficult to tell where the
problem may be. My first guess is that the data rate is to high.
You will probably need to choke that back in some way: lower the
data rate for the compressor, reduce the frame rate, reduce the
image size, reduce the color depth, etc.
When you select to export to QT, for example, a new window
opens to let you select some basic settings. At the lower right of
that window is a button titled "Quicktime Settings...". Click that
button and a new window will open that will allow you to set the
compressor, frame rate, quality, etc.

7.7 upgrade: Error: There was an error creating a temporary file

*I get the following error when trying to upgrade to 7.7*
+"There was an error creating a temporary file that is needed to complete this installation"+
*When I got to launch iTunes ver 7.6.1.9 I get the following message*
+"The registry settings used by iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes. iTunes was not properly installed. If you want iTunes to retrieve CD information from the internet, you need to reinstall iTunes"+
The problem I have is I cannot uninstall iTunes using ADD/Remove Programs nor can I upgrade.
Anyone have any suggestions?
BTW, when I launch iTunes it works but I have not hooked my iPOD up yet for fear it will erase.
Thanks!

Ensure antivirus is disabled. McAfee interfered with my iTunes installer resulting in this error. When I temporarily disabled McAfee, the installer completed successfully.

Export for flash-movie file conversion.

I want to prepare files for the highest quality possible for conversion to flash-movie files. I recorded in HDV- edited in HDV- send to Color in HDV- and now my question is if I should send it to FCP from Color in 10 bit-uncompressed to keep the highest quality?
Also at the end exporting from FCP- should I change my sequence settings? Again I need the very highest quality for later conversion to a flash-movie file, and was told that uncompressed is the way to go??
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks- Adam.

"Keeping" the quality isn't really the issue-- if you're working in HDV, there's nothing to gain by going to Uncompressed, because you weren't working in Uncompressed in the first place. The exception to this is color grading and graphics: ideally, you would be working in a higher quality sequence such as ProRes (Uncompressed is probably overkill) in both FCP and Color.
Of course, I can't honestly say that any of this will make a difference in a Flash movie-- Flash is for web delivery, and to bring it down to a bitrate suitable for the web, you'll likely lose anything you might have gained from this process.

After Effects error: Creating a resource file

Hi everyone
I'm administrating a machine with several users mainly using After Effects. The machine runs on Windows 7 64 bit.
I recently had to install videocopilots Optical Flares. Everything runs fine on my admin account but if i open AE on a user account i get an error message while on the loading screen. It says:
After Effects error: Creating a resource file "c:insert path to OpticalFlares.aex here" (might be a bit different in english as i translated this from german)
Every user has full read and write permission on the AE support files folder. Has anyone ever had such an error? All other plugins work as they should on every account.
Thanks for any hints!
Michael

I still think it is a permissions/ user privileges/ policies/ security issue - if it runs on one account, it is unlikely the plug-in is damaged or you installed the 32bit version in CS5 or vice versa. I strongly suspect the plug-in is unable to probe your graphics card and thus never initializes. Perhaps it's being blocked by some security tool or your user account doesn't have the permissions to load system drivers. The latter can be fixed by changing the respective entry in your group policy editor (gpedit.msc). The respective point would be in Computerkonfiguration --> Windows-Einstellungen --> Sicherheitseinstellungen --> Lokale Richtlinien --> Zuweisen von Benutzerrechetn --> Laden und Entfernen von Gerätetreibern. And of course temporarily turn off security stuff to verify it's not the problem.

Is there any form to create a movi file from 3D Array in CVI?

Hi,
Anyone knows if using CVI, it is possible to create a movie file (avi) from a 3D Array? And if yes could you tell me how to do that without any commercial dll?
Thanks
Hiram Hernandez

Hola Hiram:
Existe una manera de poder guardar .avi de un arreglo en 3D. Te envío un poco de documentación de cómo poder hacerlo. Necesitaras tener instalado NI-IMAQ.
