Extracting sound from an .fla

I created a custom sound for an old .fla. I don't have that
original sound anymore. I've pasted it into my new .fla but I need
to make a change that cannot be accomplished within the tools that
Flash provides. I need to make my changes with an external editor.
Any idea about how to extract that sound?

Ok, so I found a solution. It's not as clean of a solution as
I had hoped but it worked. I just used
Audio Hijack to
record the sound as it played in Flash, then made my changes. I
still would be curious to see if there is a way to extract a sound
from an .fla somehow.

Extract sound from movie

Hello.
I have a question.
Is it possible that extract sound (.wav form) from movie file(.mov form)?
Please give me a advice.
Thanks.

Export the file from the PC as quicktime.
Either that or try MPEGStreamclip on the MPEG2 file to Demux the audio from the video.

Extracting image from a "fla" doc

Hi everyone:
I am a total newvbie in Flash. I was given a file with a
"fla" extension. I need to extract the images from this document.
How do I do it?
Thanks for any help I can get.

drag and drop the image from the Library (CTRL-L) onto the
stage, then click file > export > export image. or, you can
right click on the image in the Library and choose properties to
see where it might be located on your computer.

How to extract sound from video

Is there a way to extract the sound track from a video file (avi, etc) using java ?
I've searched everywhere for this and it seems that it can't be done with java, only with c# and others.... This would be annoying, since i really like java and wouldn't want to write C# code...
The only 'solution' I've found is running an external application (with Runtime.exec())...
If I'm wrong please point me in the right direction.
Thanks

"Use the right tool for the job." If you know it can be done easily with C#, go with it. It's widely accepted that Java is not very good for multimedia applications.
But if you really have to do it in Java, perhaps JMF can help.

How can I extract data from a sound file in carbon

hello,
I am a student and I start recently learning carbon. I have to do a application which can read and extract data from a sound file and use that data to do some kind of visual representation of the file. I would like to know if someone can give some directions, tutorial,some code sample etc.
thank you for your help

hello orangekay
My idea is to create an application that can read a sound file( AIFF, MP3 or other) in order to extract some kind of data ( numbers or any values) and use that data to represent the sound file visually.
I dont know which kind of data can be extract from a sound file, and in which way i can manipulate that data to became a visual representation of the sound file. this is what I want to do as my second assignment for a subject at school, introduction to programming. has to be done based in carbon.

Why is audio disappearing from Extracted Sound Track File?

I extracted the +Sound Track+ from a .mov file which was originally a .wmv file I'd edited and saved in QT Pro. Regarding the original movie from which I extracted the Sound Track, +Movie Properties+ indicated the +Video track+ as being +Sorenson H.263.+ The Sound Track extracted was +MPEG Layer 3.+
+MovieProperties/Audio Settings+ displayed Sound Track as a Mono audio track.
The extracted sound track appeared in a new QT Window/Player as "Untitled".
I hit play and the audio track played. I saved it as a Self-Contained Movie, hit play and it played again, no problem.
( +Movie Properties+ still displayed the +Sound Track+ Format as MPEG Layer 3/Mono)
I quit QT Pro and turned my attention to other projects in other applications.
Later, when I booted QT Pro and tried to listen to the Extracted Sound Track File, I hit play and the playhead moved, but there was no audible audio, or indication of audio in the equalizer display. It was as if the audio had disappeared. Opening +Movie Properties,+ the +Extracted Sound Track+ still appeared as MPEG layer 3/Mono and the track was still enabled.
On a hunch, I opened and played the original Movie from which I'd extracted the sound track. After that, I hit play again on the Extracted Sound Track Window/Player and voila! -- the audio miraculously reappeared and was fully audible. I don't understand. Why is this happening? I did save the Extracted Sound Track file as a self-contained movie. It doesn't make sense.
More to the point, _how does one extract a sound track and save/process it such that the extracted sound track remains intact with full playback capability, without first having to play the original movie from which it was extracted in order to make the Extracted Sound Track file playback._

Thanks RT...
The curious thing is, if I boot the computer and open the +Extracted Sound Track+ file in Quicktime, it's hit or miss. Sometimes the audio is there. Sometimes it's not. If I however, play ANY other Quicktime Movie on my computer and THEN open the +Extracted Sound Track+ File, the audio miraculously reappears. What can it be?
I've got Streamclip. Haven't used it much but I'll try your approach and export the file back to a Quicktime Format.

Extract graphics from fla

Hi,
I have a load of FLA files with large libraries of vector graphics.
Is there a way of forcing Flash to create an export(jpg or swf)of all the graphics in a library without having to manually drag them onto the stage or into a scene before publishing or exporting them?
I'm thinking there might be an SDK or utility or something that can read fla files and export everything programmatically.
Any ideas?
TIA,
Paul.

Great thanks. Here's link to a decent example showing how to export images from an FLA library:

Problem:
I upgraded Leopard to Snow Leopard. Everything worked fine for a month. To free up disk space I deleted some of the iPhoto flders (modfied and original images). Everything worked still fine. Shut down the computer. Next day it was incredibly slow. At the same time the indexing was running. I stopped indexing, but stll slow. Every operation took minutes. I tried all the tricks that I found in the internet (repaired file permissions, repaired disk, cleared PRAM , moved big filed from desktop, etc.). After 24 full hours of trying all this I decided to erase the hard drive and reinstall, directly from the Snow Leopard Install disk, but it fails after downloading the packages. Below is the part of the log. Then I tried to use the old Leopard install DVD to reinstall Leopard, it then sais estimated time 12 hours or so and eventually crashed, spitting out a lot of "reportcrash" in the log. What is going on? I'm running out of options. Any advice? Would zeroing the hard drive help? If nothing else I plan to buy a new hard drive, since the only explanation I have is that there is a problem with the hard driven although the disk utility says it is OK. I need a bigger one anyway. Any ideas? Thank you!

It sounds to me like your Internal Hard Drive is failing.
I recommend you buy a new one, that is a good candidate for replacing the old one, but install it in an External enclosure and Install a fresh Mac OS X on it from the DVD. You can boot your Mac from any attached drive.
The new System can be used to get some work done, check your emails, and takes the pressure off resolving this immediately. You can also attempt to salvage files off the old drive if needed.
Once things seem to be working, then move the new drive inside the computer. Failures at this point may be due to bad cable, which has been a problem in some of these MacBooks.
Use security erase, write Zeroes, one pass, to re-write every block on the old drive. Any block discovered to be bad will be replaced with spares the drive holds in reserve for this purpose. If more than 10 blocks are pared on one pass, "Initialization Failed!" will be the result. Although you can try the erase again, there is some question whether you want to trust this drive with your precious data.

Extract audio from dvd

I am trying to extract audio from a DVD I have previously made, when I open it there is nothing in the Audio_TS file. I have seen the previous post about video files. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=596051&tstart=15
I would imagine that it would work the same way. I tried streamclip but it says I am missing a the mpeg-2 component. I did not think I needed this for a non-comercial DVD,
I would like a simple way to use a sound clip off a dvd if that is possible. thanks

follow Daniel's excellent suggestion (hardware solution).
to get just the audio (parts of) from a DVD is no trivial task…
the mpeg2 playback component is needed, because that is the codec in use on any videoDVD
the AUDIO_TS is allways empty on a videoDVD, it is only in use for SuperAudioDVDs.. (rare HiFi format)
the audio of a dvd is well hidden, "woven", muxxded (=tech term) into a data stream… tools as mentioned bbdemuxx demux that stream, in a second step you have to convert the file into something... usefull....
get a few cables, as Daniel said...
Plan C)
invest in tools as Ambrosia's Wiretap which records any sound, your Mac produces... you playback the DVD on your Mac, and you record simultanously the sound... needs additional $$ software and the same amount of time as Daniel's suggestion…

Extract text from pdf

Hi, is it possible to extract text from a pdf file using the command line to get an output like you would get by using the File menu and then 'Save as text..."?
I also noticed that in the installation folder there is a small executable called AcroTextExtractor which sounds interesting, but I was unable to figure out how to use it.

what's wrong with using automator for this? this certainly seems the easiest. I'm not aware of any built in apple script commands that will do this. But You should also ask on the Apple script forum under Mac OS Technologies.

Extracting information from a table based on different criteria

Post Author: shineysideup
CA Forum: Formula
Hi Folks
I have a bit of a strange one here.
I need to extract information from a single table based on different critera.
Sounds simple enough but here's the tricky part.
This table is a table that contains the build of a product. All the parts that are used to make the product and also the sub-parts that are used to make the primary product parts.
Example:
I have a part that is in the product and the part no is 1111. This part is actually part of another part that is part no 1112
What I need to do is display part no 1111 with all of its details but then also show that it is also part of part no 1112.
The way the table holds this information is as follows.
Seq_No Parent_Seq_No Part_No
The seq_no is item no that is given to the part number. If the part is a member of another part then there is also a parent_seq_no.
Everything needs to tie back to the seq_no and the parent_seq no as the part itself can be used in a parent or it can be used on its own. This way you can actually have the same part appearing in the list several times but the seq_no will be different for each one. If the part can be used in two different sub-builds (with each part being used twice in each sub-build) and also on its own once then you would have 5 different seq_nos two parent_seq_nos.
What I need to do is to list all of the parts but then also when a part is part of a parent_seq_no I need to be able to display the parent seqno but also the part_no for that as the parent would also be listed as an individual item in the part list.
At the moment listing the part_no, seq_no and parent_seq_no is easy but when I try to list the part_no for the parent I jsut keep getting the original sub part again. I can do this with a sub-report but with what I need to do with the data after listing the parts a sub-report is not an option for me.
This make sense?
Thanks

As long as the chain only goes one link deep, you should be able to Alias the table and link it (left outer) from the child part to the parent part. Then build a Detail B (or Group Footer if that's where you're printing) and conditionally suppress is if there is no "Parent Part".

How can I extract vocals from a track to use as an acapella?

Hi, just as the title suggests I would like to know how to extract vocals from a song so I can then use it as an acapella using Audition CS5?
Also whilst I'm here, again using audition CS5, how can I determine the bpm of whatever sound file I have open, and furthermore how can I then match the bpm from another sound file to match the bpm of the track I'm working on?
Thanks for your time
Dan

Your success with isolating vocals from a song depends almost entirely on how the song was mixed, and will vary greatly. There is no perfect solution, though many times the artifacts that remain can be minimized within a mix. Generally, you'll have the best success with music where the vocals are panned to a specific location in the mix - usually dead center, but the tool can be used to isolate any position in the stereo field - without too much instrumentation spreading into this area. Bass sounds are usually mixed center as well, so you may need to to some additional EQ or Spectral removal of low frequencies after you complete the extraction step.
The tool you'll want to use in Audition is the Center Channel Extractor effect, located under the Effects > Stereo Imagery menu. Start with the Acapella preset, then change the Extract parameter to Custom for some additional control. Select the region you wish to isolate (it's often better to isolate passages separately as, for example, verses can be mixed very differently from a chorus) and begin playback with the effect open. Use the Power button to temporarily bypass the effect so you can note the differences.
Adjust the Phase Angle and Pan parameters to maximize the vocals while minimizing the instrumentation. Use the Frequency Range parameters to help reduce some of the low-end and high-end mix that is not associated with the vocals. The two vertical controls on the right allow you to adjust the levels of what's being isolated vs. everything else. (Flip-Flop these to make a Karaoke mix.) Under the Discrimination tab, the most important parameters will be the Crossover Bleed and Phase Discrimination controls. You can adjust the FFT parameters under the Advanced tab, though I wouldn't recommend it until you're comfortable with the tool. You don't necessarily need to know exactly what ever parameter does, but listen closely while you make adjustments and you'll begin to understand how each parameter affects the result.

Take Sound from a DVD

I was wondering how I could take the sound from a DVD and turn it into an MP3 file. Any thoughts?

With MTR 2.6.6:
Change MTR to Title Only (if you want the entire title to be a single audio file) or Title - Chapter (if you want one chapter per audio file), select the "D" button, then hit the "Streams" button. In the stream selection drawer, select only the AC3 track you want (or PCM if that's all there is). Then, extract the title or chapters you want. In the current version of MTR, you'll need to extract one chapter at a time if you want them to be separate, but in version 3.0, there is a MUCH better interface for chapter selection.
With MTR 3.0:Need To Donate To Get
Rip the DVD with MTR 3.0 in Title - Chapter mode, with 'demux streams' enabled, only audio tracks enabled (ac3, dts, and pcm, not m2v or subtitles), and 'merge chapters' disabled. This will output the audio from the selected chapters of the DVD, typically as AC3 files.
Once you have the AC3 or PCM files extracted, you'll need to convert them to a usable format. For AC3, get the freeware app mAC3Dec to convert them to MP3 or AAC. For PCM, get PCM2AIFF, or AIFF from PCM and convert them to AIFF format, which you can import into iTunes and convert to MP3.

Extract data from SolMan to MS Access with VB RFC

I am trying to create a database that allows me to extract data from SolMan directly from MS Access. The command I want to run is ZSPROJECT_GET_SOLAR_STATUS (I think this will do what I want it to). I am doing this in VB within Access and need to extract the data into a table for use with reports I have created. Currently I do this manually by running a solar_eval transaction and export to Excel, then import into Access. I would like this to be automatic as the users will not know how to do the manual extract.
Can anybody help me out?
Scott

I am an intern at the project with no SolMan or SAP training. We have a similar application that is web-based that was developed by someone using XML and a SOAP RFC, but since my application is in MS Access, I was hoping to do it through VB.
I don't know what version of SolMan it is, does 4.0 sound right?
I guess that I need to talk to someone from SAP on this project if I can find them to get this setup? I don't know if this is a generic transaction or not, but the one I use currently to extract the data is
solar_eval
so I'd like to automatically run this and extract the data using Access to put it into my table; rather than logging into the GUI, running the transaction, choosing the variant and layout, export to Excel, and then finally go into the database to import the data and run my reports.
Any thoughts on how I could do this besides what I'm trying to do which seems like it may be difficult?
