Exporting to Flash, missing library item?

I am using Flash 8 (also tried CS3, but flash 8 seems to
import Captivate much better) and Captivate 3.
I want to create a project following the steps outlined in
this adobe article.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/cpvideo_03.html
(this is the link to page 3 where the steps to exporting to flash
are outlined)
I am unable to because an item the author says should be in
the Flash library is missing. From the article:
quote:
1. Import the Macromedia Captivate project file using the
Import to Library option. Be sure to deselect the audio import
option (remember, the audio portion is in the FLV file) and any
other Macromedia Captivate feature that you did not use in your
demo.
2. Upon import, open up the Library panel and locate the
Macromedia Captivate content. It will have the same name as the
original Macromedia Captivate project file but with a CPT
extension.
3. Drag it to the Stage and name the instance captivate_mc.
If you omit this step, the resync code will not work.
But I am not seeing any "captivate content file".
Anyone have any thought/suggestions?

Well I guess captivate 3 must export slightly different than
Captivate 2. I had to basically manually create the movie clip the
article talks about. When you export from cap3 to flash it puts
everything on the scene 1 timeline. So I copied ALL the frames
& layers, created a new movie clip and put it all into that new
movie clip symbol. Just kind of a pain to have to do it manually,
but not a big deal.

  • RE: Missing Library Items CS6

    Hello Everyone.
    I am Downloading the Missing Library from this Link, Is this  the correct Link ?
    http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/using/download-library-content.html
    After I Downloaded the Zip Folder, Where Do I need to copy paste the Items ?
    I looked under Adobe/ Adobe Encore CS6, but  I Dont see any folder called Library.
    Please let me know where I have to copy paste the files
    Thanks.

    >Where Do I need to copy paste the Items ?
    It tells you at that link
    Depending upon your operating system, copy the Library, main, Styles, and Template folders from the folder containing the extracted library content to the appropriate location: 
    Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS6\
    You will then have
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS6\\Library
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS6\\Library\Corporate
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Encore CS6\\Library\Education
    ...and so on for all of the folders

  • Flash duplicating library items on save - urgent help!

    Hi All,
    I am very new to flash and wasn't sure if this was normal function or not (whichever way its very frustrating!)
    I am using Windows vista 64 bit and Flash CS5
    I am creating a flash animation for a web banner for work that is very simple, first layer some text moves across, next 3 layers a single image appears and disappears etc...
    However every now and then when I save the file, it saves then when I look at my library items instead of have a couple of png's and their respective symbols (all named appropriately) there is like more then double - usually a whol bunch of images with no name - but duplicates of the images already there and abunch of symbols that area lso duplicates my originals but all named things like "symbol 13" etc..
    I decided to start saving as a new file each time - and each time the file gets bigger - went from 444kb to 13.8mb last check!and each time I delete the addition library items and each time I save there are more again, last time i went from 17 items to 69, the time before that i Had about 14 items and it went up to 43 on save.
    I was supposed to have this flash finished by tomorrow but a 15 odd mb file is no good to use on the company website!
    Please help!!
    Many thanks all
    Jess

    Hi Kglad,
    I tried what you said but nothing actually changed in terms of full screen.
    The 3rd video now plays, yet if I try full screening video 1 and 2 they just show video 3, even if video 3 isn't playing.
    Plus, the sound for video 3 still doesn't play.
    I tried different settings in the HTML and flash tab, changing dimensions, changing mono to stero and putting the sound at 48khz etc, nothing though.

  • Flash CS5 - Library item contents disappear

      I have a large library that I am organizing of vector only files, some imported from Illustrator.
    When I re-name some of the items other Movieclip items in the library lose their contents and all that is left is an empty symbol.
    I repeated this several times and tried to find workarounds. Like duplicating the symbol. This worked for the one item but then it deleted another symbols contents.

    Another test.
    The original symbol name is:
    utility_industrial_crate_metal_001_3x3
    I rename it to :
    containers_industrial_crate_metal_001_3x3
    The new symbol, containers_industrial_crate_metal_001_3x3, seems fine.
    Symbol utility_industrial_scaffolding_crates_001_8x3 where the symbol was nested shows blank a symbol. I right click on the blank symbol to swap symbol and the old symbol name is still visible in the swap symbol modal.
    I save and restart the file and the original symbol utility_industrial_crate_metal_001_3x3 re-appears in the library empty.
    I use a lot of nested symbols in large libraries so this is a major bug.

  • Multiple Body tags error when using library items

    Hi all,
    I have a navbar that I created in FW and exported as a DW
    library item. When I drag and drop the library item (navbar) into a
    site page, I get an error every time I try to save that page. The
    error states that the body tag was in the wrong place and has been
    moved to the right place. The problem is never fixed though and I
    keep being spammed by the error dialog.
    In reviewing the code, it appears that the library item has
    its own body and preload. So adding the library item to the page
    causes a duplication of the body tags and preload images code.
    Any thoughts as to how I can fix this or avoid it would be
    greatly appreciated.

    You are right, no <htm> <body> or css styles go
    into a library item.

  • Adding Flash Library items to a Flex App

    Ok, this should be simple but like all things critical to my
    flash projects they end up being hacks or major work-arounds.
    Essentially, I need to add a Flash Library item (set to export as a
    default class in Flash 9 Preview) - to my Flex application. I won't
    go into why but just consider the need for Flash interface for
    graphics creation a requirement for now. Seeing as this was no big
    deal (attachMovieClip in as2) before how would i go about this in
    as3/Flex? Please provide example - not just theory, if you can as
    I've almost read every theory/method out there but no up to date
    examples and nothing my designer brain can grasp.
    Here's what im doing so far.
    - Created a flash movie with a graphic movieclip set to
    export on first frame / class name as default of name of movieclip
    - this object doesn not live on stage but in the library (unless
    the workflow needs to change but i'd rather it not as there will be
    other objects to load in as well)
    - Using the Image class to load in swf. All is good so far.
    - So how do actualy add a child of this swf (one of the
    classes compiled in this swf) to a member of my Application?
    Heres what i was thinking i could do -
    var myLibObject:Image = new Image();
    myLibObject.source = "packages/MyLibrary.swf";
    myCanvas.addChild(myLibObject.Circle); // Circle is a
    library item/class in the flash library / Obviously this doesn't
    work but not sure how classes within the flash document class are
    referenced

    This seems to work - Let's say you have a 50 or more items in
    your library.swf and you want to load them all one at a time. Would
    this mean that you would be loading the swf file 50 or more times
    or does it load the entire swf the first time and then subsequent
    calls to this swf are in flash memory?

  • Flash Pro CC to CS6 fla issue - Bad library items and new library items with unicode names

    I've noticed a strange issue when opening fla files in Flash Pro CS6 that have been edited in Flash Pro CC. If there are library items in the fla with names that include symbols such as ">" or ".", unicode named symbols are created and the original symobls are unuseable. There are many symbols that cause the issue and the symbols just have to be a part of the name.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1) Create an fla file in Flash Pro CC.
    2) Add a single movieclip to the library with a symbol name of ">".
    3) Save the file.
    4) Open the file in Flash Pro CS6.
    Results:
    Library contains 2 symbols, one named ">" and one named "&#062".
    Expected:
    There's one library symbol named ">".
    After that double clicking the symbol named ">" will do nothing and instances of the symbol will have all their content removed.
    This issue is breaking a JSFL script I wrote that loops the library items. When the script attempts to access item.layerCount the script errors out. My team is blocked from using Flash Pro CC in combination with Flash Pro CS6 because of this issue. The only good solution I can think of is to all switch to CC at the same time to avoid converting our fla files to CS6 from CC.
    Any info on a fix for this issue would be appreciated.

    The dialog you get when you open the FLA in CS6 is that new features may not be available in CS6 so you should save it to a new file to avoid corruption. There's no "save down" from CC to CS6 (yet). So opening the file in CS6 isn't advisable in the first place.
    That said, library items are supported between them both so to your point, yes, I get the same exact behavior. A single symbol named ">" in CC produces 2 library items in CS6 named ">" and "&#062", and the original item is lost. Although I'm not sure where I'd classify this issue being you shouldn't be opening a newer version file from an older version of the application. I did also try XFL, same issue. If they decide to create a save-down to CS6 and this still exists, I'd consider it a bug.
    As for a fix, I think about the only thing that comes to mind is identify the characters causing issues and run a JSFL in CC to rename the library item temporarily to something you know will work fine. Then once back in CS6, run the JSFL opposite to convert them back to what you want. e.g. "this > that" to "this XYZ that" in CC, then "this XYZ that" to "this > that" in CS6. Shouldn't be too hard to map as long as the replacement is unique.

  • Flash Pro CS5.5 - 10 seconds to select a library item?

    Something very annoying happens in CS5.5. It was already happening in CS5, but with newer version it got even worse.
    When I select a complex library item for the first time, just clicking on it, somehow the library has to render another preview (the item is already visible on stage, so a new rendering happens).
    During this "rendering" time, Flash hangs for up to 20 seconds, depending on how large or complex is the clip.
    Also, when the message "Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts." is triggered in the output panel (even 30 times in a row) then the waiting can go up to 30 seconds.
    Probably, the library renders s different preview, maybe to accomodate components, or live-preview items? who knows?
    This makes navigating the library tedious and annoying. If by mistake I click on the wrong item, I have to wait so long before flash works again, and this can happen several times during a work session.
    Is there a way to disable this "feature" in library?
    thanks

    Thanks for the help Sharad but I don't think this is the problem.
    Indeed I have two partitions on my mac air, but the one where OS X Lion is installed (the one with /Applications) is a non-case sensitive one. If I try to install on the case sensitive one, then, the Installation software does not allow me to continue. The /Users/fbnascimento is on the other hand in a case-sensitive device, althought it did not prevented me to install it on OS X 10.6. I have no idea what it might be, but as far as I can tell, it might have something to do with: "Install on Snow Leopard -> Trashing it withouth uninstalling -> Trying to reinstall on Snow Leopard". Maybe there is some uninstalled component I'm not aware of...
    I've tried to download a new Flash CS 5.5 from adobe, the same error. If I copy a Flash App from another machine it does not run either.

  • How can I "search" for Library Items?

    I am developing a site in flash and have over 800 Library Items. My problem is, I need to edit a portion of a Library Item and cannot find the Library Item, and NO, I did not delete the Library Item because when I go to preview or test the flash document, the Library Item is there in the movie. Is there any way to search for the Library Item? I am using Flash Professional 8..
    Thank you.

    I'm not sure how you would search for it if you don't know how to identify it.  You should be able to doubleclick on the object on the stage to open it up for editing.  When you do that, the stage area will display the library name of the object at the top of the stage border in a tab.  Things are ordered alphabetically in the library, so if you know the library name of the object you should be able to narrow down where it is.

  • Mac Projector Crashes When exported From Flash CS5.5

    Something strange that i noticed, when i had exported a presentation for a Mac,
    on a 64 bit windows 7 using flash cs5.5.
    the applicaton gets the paths of a few swfs from an XML file
    and loads them one after the other.. there is a small bit of interactivity.
    .. tested this projecter on various versions of MAC, it crashes often,crashes earlier if i switch applications.  what follows here is a part of a report that was generated on an  OS X 10.7.3,
    works fine if the projector is exported from flash cs5.
    i need it to work when exported from flash cs5.5.. any suggestions on what i need to change in my application so that it works when exported from flash cs5.5?
    Your help would be appreciated Thanks in Advance

  • Exporting to Flash Issues

    Okay, I have done EVERYTHING I can think of to get the export
    to Flash to work with Captivate. However, I am at a loss now. I
    keep getting this really weird error message: "Windows cannot find
    '#$^&\Flash.exe.' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and
    then try again." Does ANYONE know what I am doing wrong???
    I already followed the directions provided in an adobe
    article. Just FYI.
    Thanks,
    Liz

    If I can just step in here for a moment... You must have
    Flash installed on your computer; not just any Flash but
    1) the full program for creating and editing Flash objects,
    and
    2) the right version for compatibility with the version of
    Captivate you are running. With that in mind, the Flash Player
    isn't what it is looking for (with all respect to you, Andrew).
    If you have Captivate 1, it is looking for the executable
    file for Flash 2004MX, and for Captivate 2 or 3, it is looking for
    Flash 8 (or CS3 will do also).
    If you do not have the proper version of Flash, Liz, that is
    the problem. If you do have the right version installed, you might
    have to re-install. It may be looking in the default folder and you
    have it installed elsewhere, or when you installed Captivate 3, it
    might have missed that install, so it couldn't provide the link it
    needs to open Flash when you export from Captivate.
    Try this before pulling out your hair:
    1) Check to make sure you have the right version of Flash
    (see above)
    2) If you do, open it, then open a "New Flash Document", then
    go to "File > Import > to Stage" (and be sure you have the
    *.CP file-type selected in the Import navigator).
    Have a good one!

  • Exporting to Flash Question.

    My client created individual Captivate demos. I would like to
    import them into flash and place them on a custom background with
    logo as well as build a flash menu to jump from Captivate section
    to section.
    I'm wondering if when exporting a file to flash then opening
    up in the Flash environment how will Flash build/ display the
    content on the timeline, how much can I edit it and will it publish
    out of Flash and display fine? Is there anything from Captivate
    that will get lost in this process such as audio or playback
    quality, etc.... I would try this myself but I'm on a Mac, our PC
    has the Captivate demo with no flash (I believe you need both
    programs in order to have the export option available) and I don't
    want to purchase flash for this computer if it won't do what I need
    it to.
    Hope someone can help,
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Hello Jason,
    Please find below the current Captivate 2 Export limitations:
    508 compliance: At this time none of
    the 508 compliance extensions export to Flash. If this is a
    critical aspect of your project, you may want to consider other
    options to address all of your accessibility requirements in Adobe
    Captivate.
    Interface skin: Skins are not
    exported through the Flash export function. This means that if your
    project uses the new Adobe Captivate 2 menu feature of skins, you
    must manually recreate that functionality in the Flash
    environment.
    Navigation bar: Adobe Captivate
    currently does not export the navigation bar used in the interface
    skin. If you use this asset in your project, you must manually
    create or add it to your Flash project.
    Advanced compression: Advanced
    compression occurs specifically as part of the Adobe Captivate
    publish process.
    Slide transitions: Transitions added
    to slides are not exported to the Flash environment. If you prefer
    to use transitions, you must rebuild the slide-level transitions in
    the Flash development environment.
    Real-time synchronization: Adobe
    Captivate does not export items recorded using the "real-time"
    option to the Flash environment. Although the objects exist, the
    export process does not retain the timings.
    You can learn more about exporting to Flash by reading the
    excellent article by Scott Young -
    Exporting
    your Captivate project to Flash

  • Spry widget menu bar as a library item - problems

    I created a spry vertical menu bar and made it a library item.  The original works great, however when I insert the library item into its own div tag on another page, the submenus will not pop out, either in DW or the browser view. The div tag is the correct size and I made the z index high enough. Here is the code of the page that works properly:

    I understand about having the script and  link element that connect my page to the dependent files in the SpryAssets folder in the header and the JavaScript function cal at the bottom on each page. I don't know what else to do - HELP!

    Welcome to the Dreamweaver world!
    Well, having your index.html page at the top/root level is important, as that is the default page by which people will enter your site.
    Having other pages in folders is fine...I do it all the time in order to keep departments or categories of information sorted.
    One characteristic of having pages in folders is that the hierarchy of files in folders (perforce) puts them at different depths in the site.
    This is not inherently a bad thing! Just one to remain aware of. When you look at your site files in the Files Panel, you can see a graphical representation of those different levels.
    But the nature of a library item is that it is identical in all its instances, which is what makes it useful...change it in the library, and it changes site-wide. The down-side of that identity is that when your files are at different depths in the hierarchy, their links back to, say, home (or any other same file) will change depending on the depth. You can see this if you make a link on a page, then drag the page (in the Files Panel) to a different depth...say, into a folder when it started at root level, or vice versa. Check the link, and you will see that it automatically adapted to the new path.
    Library items do not do that; they do not change, so some of your links will be 'wrong' when you refer to pages that have different paths than the ones originally set up in the library item... because of the change in hierarchy.
    All this is, of course, reliant on your creation of the site in the first place, as defining the root folder's location on your computer gives Dreamweaver a starting point for handling (juggling?) all the location-information for your site's files.

  • Linked library items via MovieClipLoader?

    So, some of you may have run into this before. I know there
    is a known issue with importing an SWF to a MovieClip using
    LoadMovie - in that, any library items in the SWF that have linkage
    IDs can only be attachMovie'd within the MovieClip itself, and not
    in the main timeline (or any other timeline).
    However, I'm ok with this limitation.
    I have a project where I'm creating an empty movieclip on the
    main timeline, called "clip_1".
    I then use a MovieClipLoader object to load an external SWF
    ("buttons_1.swf") into clip_1.
    This works.
    However, buttons_1.swf has several button clips with linkage
    IDs set. What I want to do is, after buttons_1.swf has successfully
    loaded into clip_1, then do something like
    clip_1.attachMovie("btn_play", "play", 1);
    where "btn_play" is the linkage ID of a button in
    buttons_1.swf.
    This does not work... and it probably should given that
    apparently some people get a similar thing to work with
    loadMovie(). I want to use MovieClipLoader, however, because of the
    built-in error catching and completion features of that class.
    I cannot use the "runtime sharing" workaround for this,
    because I will have a potentially unlimited, unknown "button" SWFs
    that will be used. The main movie will load the appropriate button
    library at runtime, but I can't know in advance what all the
    libraries will be, and after the main movie is published, ideally I
    cannot go in and edit it again (want to have it dynamic as possible
    from the beginning).
    Any help would be appreciated. I know this is a confusing
    issue.

    Oops! Missed some quotes:
    var mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("test_mc",
    this.getNextHighestDepth());
    var mclListener:Object = new Object();
    mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
    // child movie contains MCs with linkage IDs
    // attach an instance of "testclip"
    var _d = target_mc.getNextHighestDepth();
    target_mc.attachMovie("testclip", "clip"+_d,
    _d,{_x:30,_y:30});
    var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    mcl.addListener(mclListener);
    mcl.loadClip("child.swf", mc);

  • Spry Menu w/ templates or library items

    I LOVE the new spry menu, but I'm frustrated with how to
    insert an existing menu onto subsequent pages. I tried to add the
    menu to the library but that didn't seem to work. Should I use a
    template instead? I can't seem to find documentation on this...am I
    missing something? Any advice?

    Not sure what that is...tried to look it up in the help
    file...is it this?
    var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar1",
    {imgDown:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif",
    imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});
    If so, how do I attach it? Also, how do I edit once it's a
    library item? I seem to lose that lovely spry interface in the
    property manager.
    If there is any documentation that you could point me to I'd
    be grateful. I'm afraid I'm not finding it.
