Exporting Hires Bitmaps in Flash 8

I have encountered a problem.
How can a printer business get hires bitmaps from flash
vector art,
needed to overcome the gradient fill problem of printing
through eps files..
It would seem that Flash 8 exports the artwork up to 300dpi,
and,
thereafter exports less and less of higher res bitmaps,
almost as if there is a memory cap in the program.

What kind of settings did you use?
Go have a look at Robert Reinhardt's bitrate calculator for
the best possible quality:

Photoshop save as hires Bitmap

Hi there
I'm currently working on some banners which have to be printed on 4m94 x 1m05. I have a wood texture background and the foreground will consist of images that have been cutout in Photoshop.
The banners will be exported from InDesign to PDF. Now I wonder what's best: importing the background texture in InDesign and placing the other images on top of it (which means that I need hires bitmaps with transparant backgrounds), or should I create the banners in Photoshop (whole composition) and save them to hires bitmaps?
Another question: how can I save a hires bitmap in Photoshop? Or what is the definition, the settings etc. of a hires bitmap?
Thanks!

In Photoshop »bitmap« is often used to refer to 1-bit-bitmap-images, so the term is problematic on this context.
Or what is the definition, the settings etc. of a hires bitmap?
That would depend on your requirements really – please ask your print provider.

Another question: how can I save a hires bitmap in Photoshop?
Save a psd, that format supports transparency.
As for hires: try to work with what image data you have, if upsampling is unavoidable you could do a Forum search (of the old platform Fora) as that has been treated repeatedly.
As for doing the design in Indesign or Photoshop:
Difficult choice as both have drawbacks.
If you have sufficient RAM, work with Smart Objects and do the final output properly (in a format that supports vector data, pdf for example, and the correct Color Space) Photoshop is a viable option.

Problem with symbols while exporting a gif in flash cs4

I am using flash cs4 to export a simple animated gif for a button on my website. However, when I export the gif the movie symbols will not play, what am I doing wrong here?

Well, for some reason, I've managed to be okay with the idea that all software relying on links is prone to crushing at any given moment during execution of a project, Yes this includes After effects, Illustrator, Indesign_name it. However, one thing I cannot understand or even come to terms with the idea that Flash CS4 cannot export a project of 162mb. My library is organised, My scenes are in perfect order, I do not even use 3rd party componets in my projects..... but for some reason, I cannot export let alone publish an application file from FLASH CS4.
My first thought was maybe some thing was wrong with the "flash.ocx" extension, so I took a walk and visited the Adobe site to get an update, but still after re-installing it nothing seems to put a smile on my face_( I've spent sleepless nights on this animation and all I need is to just export/ publish it, however flash exports it halfway and out of a blue the export dialog and the incomplete file vanish) Some times I even wonder wether there is a vortex on my desktop.
Another problem in this category am finding is with flash player in my browsers, if it runs in exlporer, then it won't run in firefox, and when I check in the control panel after installing on both browsers, I am so suprised to find 4plugins of flash player, which is not the case with my friends laptops which use 1plugin and an activeX control for the web browsers.
Any help is very welcome, Am using Dell studio-xps Laptop running a 64bit Windows Vista OS, 4bg Ram, 1 Terabyte HDD and yes Intel Graphics media card with dedicated memory of 1gb. (Of what use are they if I cannot export a small file of 162mb, am even ashamed to mention it, heeeeeelp )

Problems exporting a movie in Flash CS4

I'm trying to export a fla file to a mov file in Flash CS4.
My fla file is 152 mb. It is a 5 minute presentation I created with a 39 second f4v file (video clip) in the file.
I go to Export / Export Movie. I select Quicktime (mov). I keep the default settings and it starts to cycle through. It gets about half way and I get a message "The export operation failed because it ran out of memory"
I'm running this on a Mac Pro, System 10.5.8. I have 4 GB of memory. My HD is 232 GB with 155 GB available.
What is the problem and how can I get this to work?

Option in properties panel: render - export a bitmap

Hi - just come across this.
Therefore should we always use render - export as bitmap - it will be kinder on all CPUs of all platforms.???
When would I not use it then?
I suppose I can - but can I code this in ie: character.exportAsBitmap at design time or is it ONLY for mcs on stage. ie: Can I import mcs an apply that???
Cheers

I understand that you need the newest version (InDesign CC 2014.1) to accomplish what you want with EPUB.
But if you have a Creative Cloud subscription, you can download BOTH that version (the current one) AND also install InDesign CC (which came out in 2013), as well as InDesign CS6. All can be installed simultaneously!
As I described above, I think you unintentionally muffed it by installing a trial on top of your installation. Both should be uninstalled.
Then with Creative Cloud install the latest version and make sure it's working.
To download an older version from Creative Cloud, select the Apps menu in the CC application. Scroll down till you see "Filters & Version" In that section, you will see the older versions which you can also install.

Export quicktime movie from Flash CS6 hangs

I am trying to export a very short flash animation as a quicktime video from Flash CS6 but when the "Recording Flash Content" progress bar gets to the end nothing happens. I am able to click cancel and the x but nothing has been created for me.
If I wait long enough I get the error message "The export operation failed because it ran out of memmory" How can I fix this?

Hi Tomlijagogo,
Can you try the solutions in this post? Flash CS6, QuickTime: The export operation failed because it ran out of memory.

Export image sequence from Flash

Hello,
I made an short animation in flash (Only about 3 seconds) and I am wondering if there is a way to export the animation as an image sequece. I could've sworn I've done it before but I can't find any information on how to do it. If anyone can give me information on if this is possible and if so how to do it I'de appreciate it. I am using Flash CS3, and I just need to get the animation exported as individual images.

yeah i get the idea of guide layers and how useful they are. just dont want all my rough layers visible when i export an image from flash.. my point being you never had to hide guide layers before publishing on old versions of flash which i think makes more sense.. why would you ever want to see a guide layer on a published image?? anyway, i discovered this only happens when using actionscript 3.0 but not 2.0 so, ive gone back to 2.0

Not able to export quicktime movie from Flash CS5 or CS6.

Hi! I am not able to export quicktime movie from Flash CS5 or CS6. When I export it the progress bar is showing and says Recording Flash content and nothing happens

I havent exported any videos in the past from Flash. The movie is around 45 seconds and the size is 470KB.
I tried both, the memory and the hard drive.
In the attached image you can see the settings and in the other image you can see the progress bar that remains without something to happen.
I dont mind what type of video to export it can be also .avi but again I have troubles there. It is very large and the animation is distorted.
The animation consist from two scenes. The first one can be exported without any problem but the second one cannot be exported. May be because it has some masks layers and guide layers?

JRC for Eclipse 2.0: Export to PDF with Flash Objects in RPT file

Hi,
We've a few reports created with Flash objects in it ( from Xcelsius). We are trying to generate the reports and export it to PDF using the new JRC for Eclipse 2.0. The exported file size is big ( 600MB) but there is no flash object or data in it. Can you please help us with this one?
Thanks,
Bala

Hi, Ted. Thanks for looking into this.
I asked a similar question last September in this [thread|CR report with embedded SWF: Export to PDF displays nothing;. It's my understanding that exporting flash objects to pdf is not support in CR 2008.
In CR 2008, when I export a report containing a swf to pdf, the flash file is not rendered in Adobe Reader. It looks like there's just a picture. In fact, in CR, if you r-click on the swf and do Format Flash... | Flash, you can change the picture used for export and printing. The default picture is what I'm seeing in the pdf.
I'm creating the swf using Xcelsius 2008. In XC 2008, if I export to pdf, the flash object is rendered. Why the difference?
The same Adobe reader is being used in both cases.
I'd be glad to send an .rpt with embeded swf for you to test.
Thanks again.

How to diagnose flickering exported JS animations from Flash CC?

Quick stats on my system:
Macbook Pro Retina 2012 running OSX 10.9.3
Flash CC 13.1.0.226
I'm not experiencing an error so much as a lack of understanding about how to diagnose Flash CC JS export issues. Here's the backstory:
In 2012, my company started working with an contract sprite artist. I was using the CS5.5 Creative Suite, and we were exporting normal png sequences from Flash for use in the game. After about 8 months, my cofounders and I realized that we could both reduce the load time for the game and also allow our artwork to be dynamically scalable by switching to JS exports of our art rather than the raster sprite sheets. Here's the blog post we wrote about it: http://blog.codecombat.com/hacking-our-way-to-vector-artwork-in-html5
At the time, I didn't have Flash CC, and was reliant upon the CreateJS plugin to export the required JS files: CreateJS Developer Center | Adobe Developer Connection After another month or so, our contractor upgraded their version of Flash and we started having compatibility issues reading FLA files, so I upgraded as well. After doing some reading, I concluded that the CreateJS plugin was now incorporated into Flash CC as the HTML5 doc type, which was confirmed when I checked out the publish settings and resulting files.
This is all a rather long winded way of saying that we have legacy artwork created with an older version of Flash but are now importing all of our artwork from JS files.
Fast forward to today and we have two big issues:
1) We can't figure out how to reduce the filesize of JS exports. As discussed in our blog post, vector artwork has upsides and downsides. One of the downsides we've found is that complex art that uses a lot of shapes ends up being substantially larger (in terms of filesize) than the appearance might otherwise suggest. Raster exports skirt this because a pixel is a pixel, but vector exports scale with the complexity of the source FLA. I'm not a Flash expert, and when we get files that are particularly complex, Flash either runs out of memory exporting them to JS files or we get files that are far too large to reasonably use. To be clear, the "out of memory" error isn't a problem because even if Flash finished the export, the resulting files would be too large for us to use (plus, I've done some digging and found a tutorial for correcting the out of memory error). Our artist is not familiar with the intricacies of the JS Flash exporter, so when we get a file that's too big or breaks the export, neither of us can really figure out a way to correct the problem. We have three questions in particular:
     a) Where can you view shape data that Flash is going to write to the JS files?
     b) Is there any way to edit said shape data inside the Flash CC interface?
     c) Is there any way to optimize shape data in Flash? For instance, in Photoshop, you can flatten images and export a psd with 500 layers as a single JPEG, is there any way to do something similar to shape data in Flash?
2) Exports frequently break in weird ways. Many of the sprites that we created a year ago haven't needed to be re-imported into our game engine for some time. But every once in a while, I need to go back and fix, improve, or tweak an existing sprite, and then I run smack into the issue of reconciling files that were created without thought to JS exports with our current system. Just last week I was running into this issue in a big way and I made a screencast for our artist (since we work remotely) that I hoped might give him a better idea of the problem: Flash Errors - Treasure Chest, Flippable Tile - YouTube
The two files mentioned in that screencast are both old (treasure chest) and new (flippable land tile). We have a few questions:
     a) Why are the treasure chest frames "flickering" in the html5 preview? The problem doesn't appear inside Flash and is inconsistent between files. There are two FLA files: one in which the treasure chest is empty, and one in which it's full. The empty animation doesn't throw any errors, either when converting to the HTML5 doc type or on export, but the resulting animation flickers. The full treasure, on the other hand gives me 21 lines of these errors when I do the conversion (not when I export): "Blend Modes(Layer) is not supported in HTML5 Canvas document, and has been converted to Normal in an instance of Movieclip <Path>." The result in both cases is the same: the animations flicker, and neither our artist nor us can figure out why, or for that matter, even begin to troubleshoot it. This SO issue seems to describe the problem, but was never resolved, and I can't find anything else that seems to address it: CreateJS Publish of Flash Project Flickers - Stack Overflow
I've uploaded the files involved to a public dropbox folder which I think you'll be able to access (Dropbox seems to be having some problems at the moment): Dropbox - flash_debugging
Since my questions are fairly involved, and my goal is to gain a better understanding of the UI, not simply resolve an error, I'd be happy to pay for someone's expertise/time in getting me up to speed. You can get in touch with me at george [at] codecombat.com

Hi George,
I have taken a look at the files full_treasure_chest.fla and flippable_land.fla that you have shared via drop box and found that they both uses blank keyframe(s) followed by Keyframe(s). This was an issue and has been addressed in the latest release Flash CC 2014 (released on 18 June, 2014). Can you please install the latest build 14.0.0.110 and try this out?
Thanks!

Export in EPS on Flash CC ?

How can I export image in EPS on Flash CC?
In CS6 it was still possible.
This is absolutely essential to me.
Please help me.

Would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums? This forum is primarily for end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with a wider developer audience.
Thanks,

Export file formats from flash?

Hi, I have an issue concearning existing file formats for export in Flash CS4.
According to the user's manual in Italian I have found, http://help.adobe.com/it_IT/Flash/10.0_UsingFlash/WS0E26E472-1533-4297-A904-59476E8E1935.h tml
available formts include EPS and AI.
As far as AI is concearned, I have this option but exported AI files are hard to open in Illustrator, since a number of problems appear.
If I separate all groups in Flash and then export to AI format, Illustrator finally opens the AI file, but changing the colours and the shape of my design.
Moreover, no dialogue box for Illustrator version options appear when I choose AI for export, as is described in the support page.
As to EPS file format, it is not in the export file dialogue box, the formats I have are JPG, PNG, GIF, EMF, WMF, BMP.
My point is that I draw in Flash, then I need to export the designs in Illustrator for print optimization, but the content changes dramatically, if I actually can open the files.
Caould anyone help me?
Silvia

I am unsure about the Illustrator export, as I have never needed to do this, nor do I have CS4.
The EPS reads as a printer option, not an export one:
"An EPS file can be printed with a PostScript printer. ... This format has no definable export options"

Why my macbook pro freezes when I export pictures to usb flash memory

I am a new mbp user and mainly organize my travel pictures using my macbook but recently I cannot export my pictures to "burn" or copy to other flash memory.
I have been diligently backing up using the time machine but as the file size grows i think I am running out of memory. Or is that the reason why?
Can anybody help?
Many thanks

Exports from Keynote to Flash doesn't work

I am trying to create an automatic slide show and export it as an .swf (or anything) to run on a web site and it doesn't work. For documentation of my tests go to: http://www.equalivote.com/abKeynoteExportTESTS.pdf

Another thought: If you need it to be flash, could you export the slideshow to quicktime, then put the quicktime movie into a flash project? I'm not too familiar with flash but it seems like that would be worth a try.

Exporting to video in flash cc and getting no sound

[email protected]

Can you also try this -
Add a blank keyframe or a keyframe at the starting of the sound in the timeline layer. Does this help in playing sound in the exported video?
