Export as non-Flash file?

Hello,
I've inherited some tutorial files that were developed in
Captivate, but I'm now working in an environment where Flash is not
deployed as standard. Are there any alternate Save or Export
options available in the current version that do not reply on
Flash, either as an Application or ActiveX?
If not, can anybody suggest a method to re-purpose the files
for a non Flash environment?
Many thanks
Chris

Hi jerosejr
Sounds like you are pointing at only the skin.SWF? My might
wish to try pointing at the Main.SWF instead. If you really want or
need the playback controls, try DE-selecting the Borders via
Project > Skin... > Borders tab. This should banish the
_skin.SWF and force the playback controls into the main.SWF.
Cheers... Rick

Quicktime Pro Export as a Flash File

I have Quicktime Pro, I need to export video as a flash file. Is that possible?
The video was created with my iPhone 4S.
Thanks,

You can use FFmpeg to do this.

Trying to export a older flash file in player 8, having issues.

i have this flash file that is written for player 5. i had to
republish in player 8 to take advantage of the anti aliasing
features available, however, i seem to have a problem with a
secondary swf that gets pulled in to the main movie. the secondary
swf targets player 5 as well. when i republished for player 8, i
got these compiling errors. can anyone tell me why this won't work
if i publish in 8, but works publishing in 5?
while (Number(n)<19) {
n = Number(n)+1;
bn = "kv" add n;
duplicateMovieClip("kv", bn, n);
setProperty(bn, _x, Number(getProperty(bn,
_x))+Number(n*getProperty(bn, _width)));
setProperty(bn add "/b", _x, getProperty (bn add "/b", _x) +
(random (20)+1));
it must be a syntax issue as the original code is AS1.0. Does
anyone know what this would need to look like to work publishing
for player 8?

The only real problem is that "add" is no longer supported.
It should be:
while (Number(n)<19) {
n = Number(n)+1;
bn = "kv" + n;
duplicateMovieClip("kv", bn, n);
setProperty(bn, _x, Number(getProperty(bn,
_x))+Number(n*getProperty(bn, _width)));
setProperty(bn + "/b", _x, getProperty (bn + "/b", _x) +
(random (20)+1));
But this will have yet another problem if the "n" is not
defined prior to the while loop. Flash 5 assumed undefined
variables were 0. Flash 8 assumes undefined variables are
undefined.
But a newer and improveder version of the script would be
something like:

Exporting FCP to Flash File

So I am creating an intro to a website and I want to include a video I made in FCP and then create links in the video to two seperate websites. So basically this website page is index or front page of two other websites.
I know that I will have to send the video to Flash to create the hyperlinks and page setup. But does anyone have any experience with exporting from FCP to AdobeFlash?

I use this: http://www.on2.com/index.php?365
But many people just export as QuickTime h.264 and then change the resulting file's extension to .flv.

Quick white "flash" at beginning of exported flash file

i've created something i've exported to a flash file that is embedded into an html file. when i load it (on a black background -- color doesn't matter) i get a quick but noticeable white flash just before the animation itself begins.
the background of the file is black. it seems as though keynote is inserting a frame before the actual layout even begins to load.
anyone know a way around this?
thanks!
mike

When is this happening? Please indicate whether it is during the playing of:
-the preview in iDVD,
-a disk image,
-or a burned DVD.

IMPORTING FLASH FILE IN CAPTIVATE

Hi!
I have an interactive training module created with Flash. It has buttons, videos, and quizzes.
Now, to make it compatible with SCORM. I was advised to use Captivate.
Is it possible to export the whole flash file in Captivate? Please help.
Thank you very much!

If this was all developed in Flash then the best bet is to use the Pipwerks SCORM wrapper to make your Flash file compatible.
More info here: http://pipwerks.com/
You may be able to insert your Flash file as an animation into Captivate, but this won't make it SCORM compatible. You might be able to recode the Flash file as an interactive widget and make it have a Success result when the user passes the module. Then when you insert it into Captivate you can set the interactive widget to have a score.
More information about coding widgets can be found here:

Exporting to Flash files

I have created a number of projects, flash output, and they
all come out to be 4 or 5 files. Is there any way I can publish to
a single non exe file?
I have read a thread (link at the end) and have carried out
the instructions to remove any full motion in the project, but it
is still publishing my project to 4 files
.swf - main file
.swf - skin file
.htm - the one that brings them all together
.js - no idea what this does, but it doesn't work without it
Any ideas or suggestions gratefully appreciated.
Many thanks
Anne
these
are the instructions I followed

Interesting Library, but for me the opposite is true
You may notice that the SVG motion tweens are a little smoother than flash, this is because they are completely time-based
the exported svg stutters, while the flash one runs smooth

Help me publish/export CS3 Flash file as Quicktime Video, no controller

I am working on a simple timeline animation and would like to publish/export my flash file as a quicktime file with out the default controller. I can export it no problem with the controller. Also I tried publishing it as a QuickTime with Flash Track (.mov) and I get this error message. "QuickTime does not support Adobe Flash track beyond Flash version 5. You can however, export a QuickTime move with Flash rendered as video by selecting File > Export > Export Movie.
Also, does anyone know if transparencies are ok if publishing as a QuickTime movie?

QuickTime 7.3.1, and higher, no longer support Flash (.swf) in playback. Previous versions did allow .swf format as a muxed "track" if "Published" from Flash applications as version 5, or lower.
To turn off the controller (none) use the Movie Properties / Presentation tab.
QuickTime does allow levels of transparency and also "alpha channels" in most image formats that support them (.png).

Hi, I have the same issue??
Even when exporting as an interactive pdf.
My problem is that I am trying to figure out how to export my swf embedded file into an interactive pdf.
I have created an interactive presentation with buttons, effects etc. After which I exported to swf so that all the effects work.
But when placing the swf file back into indesign and exporting again as an interactive pdf it doesn't work at all, all I get is a white screen. (I need a pdf for clients basically, they dont want any swf or flash files.)
Even though after placing the swf file, in the media window I ticked play on page load as well as chose a cover image for the swf file. Still just a white screen when exporting.
To repeat, I need to know how to convert my swf file into an interactive pdf.
Any pointers please would be great I have some swf presentations I need to change into pdf as soon as possible or before tomorrow to be exact before our monthly meeting with clients.
Please help

Keynote and Flash export. No sound in the flash file

Oh well...
Here I am again. I have recorded speech for my slide show as a narration and there is a sound file on every slide. The sound files are mp3s (Exported from Audacity as mp3 ID3v1). Come to playing the show and the sound doesn't play. All the builds still play correctly but sound there aint. How do I fix it?

That parameter just has to do with playback from your computer. From all the reading that I have done lately it seems that Flash 6 only supports 3 differnet type of sound files.
Supports PCM, ADPCM and MP3 audio/sound playback for the speaker and headphone.
http://www.flashdevices.net/2006/04/sony-psp-flash-player-6-supported.html
This would be why all those other types of files that you put in a project wont export. Flash 6 doesn't support them. Also looking at the release notes (tucked away in the Macromedia/Adobe archives) Flash Player 6.0r40 and later supports MP3 files with ID3 v1.0 and v1.1 tags.
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/releasenotes/player/rn_6.html
Now I tested my Flash file with ID3 v2.0 tags and if worked fine. I think it has something to do with give the taags to the player so the player can do something with them (check the link above). Also having flash player 9 might have something to do with it. Anyway the ID3 v 1.0 tags are more compatable with software than the v2.0 tags. So I would use v1.0 anyway. I think that is what iTunes/QT uses anyway.
Also another thing that is weird about this whole saga is that I checked the Audio MIDI settings earlier in the piece. They were set to the correct setting. Audacity must have changed it back (of maybe something else did). But I did notice a little white noise when I did start playing my Audacity tracks (like a skip on a LP). Happens when the setting is changed. But the strange thing is that I have no idea what was causing it to change to 96000 Hz. I suppose it doesn't matter too much but rather that know that it happens. (I do remeber a time when a Flash file did it. I have a slow conection and I think that the player did something weird. That's another story)

How to make exported Flash files as small as possible?

I am producing some Web Presenter videos, and they are going to be embedded onto a website.
This is my current workflow:
.Import video and then Key it in Adobe Ultra
.Import keyed footage into After Effects to allow me to set pixel dimensions for composition
.Render as flash file
Currently, I am rendering them as .Flv (web small) in the settings, but the files are coming out at 8-12mb, and the video is only 60 seconds long. I have seen some guys get flash videos of this length down to 3mb.
My question, am I rendering under the most sensible settings, or is there something better I should be doing? I need to keep the files small, but without losing much quality.
Here is an example of a recent Web Presenter I did: http://www.ukpostbox.com
I did the filming and presentation, and a friend (who has since died) did the editing. It will give you an example of the effect I'm looking for. Also, is the 'start' button something I can add myself, or is that normally done by the web designers at the clients end?
You might need to explain everything in simple terms to me as I am very new to After Effects, and this type of editing system.
Thanks,
James.

You may also have to edit the export settings.
When you export to flv with the preconfiguration "web small" you shall dig in it and adjust the data rate (lower it until you get the quality you want).
Sadly, encoding isn't a skill that have a long curve of learning, and relying on pressets is just the first step (and encoding much depends on what is in the frame, so it's a science by itself as soon as you want more control on your outputs). Also, AE is a compositing system, not an encoding software, so if you have the Production Premium, Master Coolection or Premiere, you should definitly want to export your project from the Adobe Media Encoder.
One of the most important step in downsizing the size of your video while keeping quality is to do "dual pass" encoding, and AE can't do that.
The great thing is that you can import an AE composition right inside AME, so you don't need to do a temp encoding.

9-scaling issue re-exporting from flash file

Hi,
I seem to have come across a consistent bug which is preventing me from progressing. I am creating assets in Flash which I am exporting as a swc file to be used in a Flex application. I have created a simple scrollbar thumb asset which is basically a rounded cornered rectangle and have added 9 slice lines to ensure the curved areas are outside of the scaling area. I convert the asset to a flex component and export as a swc file. When I test this asset in a simple swc inspector tool (built by one of the devs on my Flex project) I can manipulate the height and width and the 9-scaling works correctly. My problem occurs when I close the originating .fla file and close flash, re-open and without making any changes to the flash file re-export as a swc. When I do this the 9-scaling no longer works!
Has anyone experienced a similar problem? I am running a Mac with CS5 installed, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ed

Its been resolved. Thanks

Hi MooksGoo_howdy
There's a fair bit of discussion of this topic in http://forums.adobe.com/message/4635231#4635231.
In general you have to manually create the file/folder structure the SWF expects in the hosting environment. There's no way for Muse to know what files the SWF depends upon, if any, and where they need to be located.
A SWF that has external dependencies will never work in Muse Preview or Muse Preview in Browser, but can be made to work on a published/uploaded site by manually using an FTP client to create the file/folder structure the SWF requires.

Exported Flash files make annoying clicks in Windows IE

On Firefox and Safari on OS X I can embed a Flash file exported from Keynote in a web page and view it with no problems.
However, at every slide change in Windows Internet Explorer, there is an extremely annoying clicking sound. It seems this is by design in IE -- any refresh is supposed to generate a click, and the change from slide 1 to slide 2, etc., apparently counts as a refresh.
(For what it's worth, in IE the URL is appended with #SlideFrame_1, then #SlideFrame_2, and so on. That suffix does not appear in either OS X browser. The click happens at the transitions from #SlideFrame_n to #SlideFrame_n+1).
I want to embed the exported flash on a web page and auto-run it, but Windows users will hear an irritating click-click-click until they navigate away from the site -- which they'll probably do quickly before they go crazy from the sound!
Any ideas on how to export Flash movies in a way that avoids this, or any tools to modify the Flash file so IE doesn't think it's refreshing?
(FYI -- while I'd prefer to export Quicktime, it's only on about 60% of my site visitor's browsers, while Flash is on over 95%).

Greg,
Have you found a solution for this problem? I too am experiencing the same problems.
Best,
Terence

Running flash file from non-english folder

I am trying to run a flash movie located in a folder with non
english characters (japanse, chinese). (Using latest flash 9
player)
The movie does not play at all. Moving the movie to another
folder with english only characters works fine.
Also, it seems that this is something that has changed in the
latest version of flash.
Previous version of flash 9 seems to work correctly.
Any ideas?

Hi Jim.
Sorry, I thought I read that somewhere that a Flash file can preview your whole project before you Burn it.
Can you give me any insight on my other problem about the Code 25-Not Enogh Space on Disc Problem I'm having?
Also do you knkow of a good 3rd Party software I can use to burn ISO files if Encore cannot do it.
Thanks
