.fla into swf files

Okay here is the deal. I downloaded a template for oscommerce
that has a flash header (this flash file is main.swf). I am able to
make the adjustments that are needed in Flash 8 but once I try to
save it as .swf it tells me that I am unable to save it as an older
file. It says that I can try to save as "save as" but everytime I
save as main.swf it tells me the same thing again.
Also is there anything special that needs to be done in my
FTP program to upload flash files correctly?
Thank you for your time guys.
Mike

Edit a SWF file from Dreamweaver in Flash
If you have both Flash and Dreamweaver installed, you can select a SWF file in a Dreamweaver document and use Flash to edit it. Flash does not edit the SWF file directly; it edits the source document (FLA file) and re‑exports the SWF file.
In Dreamweaver, open the Property inspector (Window > Properties).
In the Dreamweaver document, do one of the following:
Click the SWF file placeholder to select it; then in the Property inspector click Edit.
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the placeholder for the SWF file, and select Edit With Flash from the context menu.
Dreamweaver switches the focus to Flash, and Flash attempts to locate the Flash authoring file (FLA) for the selected SWF file. If Flash cannot locate the Flash authoring file, you are prompted to locate it."
But I don't see "Edit with Flash" option. Maybe because I have a trial version of Dreamweaver?

Versioning of fla and swf files

Hi there,
I am working on a small flash project with one other
developer and we email fla and swf files back and forth. So far
date/time stamps and file sizes have been good enough for "version
control".
I am familiar with versioning systems for development but
what about after a release? How can I determine a released swf
file's build version? Date/time stamps can change with copying and
development could have already progressed and multiple version of
the same swf file are out there...
I am surprised that there isn't a built in mechanism to
assign a version number to a fla/swf file (e.g. as part of the
publish profile) that one can then view via the files properties
dialog... or perhaps somebody has to show me the light... :)
Does anybody have a recommendation on how to give a fla/swf
file a version number that can be checked once the file has been
released?
Thanks,
Dan

.. or, Plan B), use QuicktimeX' ability of Screen-Recordings to record while you playback those files in their app.
The resulting mov can be treated as any other movie in iMovie.
Vector-graphics, interactive formats, etc are of no use in an video-editor ...

How to insert landing site and impression code into swf files

Hi guys!
i got problems.
Actually, i dont have knowleage about tracking and clicks.
I want to find out how to use it and use it in swf files.
i want to insert landing site and impression code into swf files but i dont know how to do it.
i want insert two link below into swf files.
Impression:
http://impgb.tradedoubler.com/imp?type(inv)g(xxxxxxx)a(xxxxxxx)
Click:
http://clk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=xxxxxx&a=xxxxxxx&g=xxxxxxx
Can you show me how to do that?
Thanks for your helps.

You would need to creat a invisible button or movieclip on a new layer on top and have it fire a external javasctipt function you create in the HTML header that will then call those URLs .

Is there any way to compile FLA files into SWF files on the command line?

I am using Adobe Flash CS4 Professional on Windows XP. To facilitate automated nightly builds, I have been searching for a way to compile my SWF files from the FLA files under source control, but without luck. The tools in the Flex SDK looked promising, but we do not use Flex. Thanks!

Seen these?

ActionScript 2.0 to be able to embed URL into SWF file?

Hello,
It seems that the web based newspaper who is going to publish my ad banner doesn't have flash player 10 (or 9). My ad banner was made in Flash CS4 / ActionScript 3.0. Instead I now have to change the code in my invisible button to ActionScript 2.0 to be able to publish it in flash player 8. What is the ActionScript 2.0 code so I can make the same embed URL into my SWF file as I did with the following ActionScript 3.0:
function linkToSite(evt:MouseEvent):void {
     var url:String = "http://www.IMAGESofFISHERMEN.com/?p=50#more-50"; // replace with your url
     var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
     navigateToURL(req, "_self");
urlBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linkToSite);
Regards
Maria

As far as I know, the Flash player version should not be of any significance to the host service. It is the Flash player in the site visitor's web browser that decides matters.
In any case, that code would become...
urlBtn.onRelease = function(){
     getURL("http://www.IMAGESofFISHERMEN.com/?p=50#more-50", "_self");

Loding swf files into swf files

Hi,
If i have a swf fil locally which loads a number of other swf
files from a server, can i have the loaded files load other files?
I have a tool which loads different presentations from different
folders but the swf files in the presentations may them selves load
other swf files. Is there a method to handle this?
Jesper

Having one player find with relative paths folder grouped or
data based
grouped is very doable in Flash.
Look at the _url property for the player and pop off the swf
name at the end
and you have the path of the player. Then concatenate the
relative paths
from there.
The player base url can be attained with
urlBase = _url.substr(0,_url.lastIndexOf("/")+1)
then you concatenate
Ex:
aChildFolder = urlBase + "theChildFolderName/"
aSiblingFolder = urlBase + "../theSiblingFolderName/"
Then concatenate the swf name to those.

thanks for your reply,
To describe the problem in greater detail:
I work for a company which produces presentations in flash.
Each
presentation
has a folder of its own on our server and these folders are
organised under
the
companies who ordered them. The presentations are composed of
a number of
swf
files which are loaded into a main presentation control file.
Now i am
looking
to build a tool which can load each of these presentations
depending on what
the customer would like to see. I would like this tool to be
plased in a
folder
of its own so i dont have to place one in each presentation
folder.
But my problem is that when i try this i find that most
often flash cant
handle the relative paths in the movies loaded by the
presentation control
file. Example: If i in the presentation load a file with a
graf and the graf
contains a button with an onRelease = function() {
instance.gotoAndPlay(2) }
flash has a very hard time determining which movieclip to run
the command
on.
Is there a way to handle this?

Print the reviewer the original document the course content
was initially built from if they want it in print format. To expect
a flash SWF to print the same way as a Microsoft Word document way
is just stupid, think of the SWF's timeline and number of
movieclips (and movieclips within movieclips) and how much
information can be contained within it and how it might not always
be in a linear format (eg. like a Word Doc) = your answer which is

Converting wmv files into swf files

I have not been using Flash for very long and I have some wmv
files I would like have show up as swf files for a project I am
doing. But I can not find way to covert them over. Is there a way
and if so how. Thanks for any help.

First convert the WMV files to FLV format(Use Flash video
encoder.)
Import the converted videos to flash.
It is easy to use an FLVPlayBack component with a suitable
skin(controls-can be selected from a list) and given the path/name
of the converted video(example.flv);

Working with multiple fla or swf files

Hi am working on a large flash presentation that
combines several clips that I previously developed in Flash8 and
new ones that I have created in Flash CS3. I need to combine these
into one presentation. I know that I will have to save my CS3 clips
back to Flash 8 to use them there or open the 8 and save them to
CS3 to get everything into one version. However, can you tell me
should I import fla files into a single fla presentation and output
to a swf or import the swfs? I am finding that the text effects
that I developed in SwishMax are then lost regardless of what I do?
When I view the finished file, all of the text effects are gone.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Michelle

Unless you save the attachments to an app they are not stored anywhere on the iPad apart from with the email in Mail.
There are a number of apps that support word documents e.g. Apple's Pages app, and QuickOffice HD and Documents To Go. Jpeg pictures can be saved to the built-in Photos app (they should go in the Camera Roll album if you save them).
For PDFs there are free apps such as iBooks and Adobe Reader where you can save them to.
To save an attachment press and hold the attachemtn after you've opened it in the Mail app and you should get an 'open in' option appear.

Merging ActionScript into existing FLA or SWF

Hi Folks,
Are there any tools or tricks to do this? I'm trying to take
existing (arbitrary) FLA file (or SWF) and merge in bunch of
ActionScript code into it so that resulting FLA file (or SWF) ends
up executing my ActionScript when the Flash presentation starts up.
I'm interested in tools that will allow me to do this using
command-line - I don't want to go through manual procedure of
operning up the Flash 8 editor, creating new layers, coping the
code into first frame, etc. I would like all this to be done
automatically through a command-line.
I look into Flex but it seems Flex cannot deal with existing
FLA files and you need to start with a XML definition file. This
doesn't help me as I have bunch of existing FLA and SWF files I
need to work with.
Since it is possible to decompile SWF into FLA, I imagine
there must be a way to hack it (e.g. through binary patch).
Any help would be great. Thanks.

The Path to nowhere - help! swf files not showing in browser

i need help with getting a swf file to show in the browsers. (it previews in dreamweaver)
created a website in dreamweaver cs4. created a simple slideshow in flash 4.
on the index.html page inserted the flash file.
it previews in dreamweaver BUT when i text in browsers it shows as a white box.
have been reading through all the info about paths etc.
can you simplify this entry below from adninjastrator on the adobe forums sept 19 2011???........
"Still looks like a pathing problem to me. For review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

i am not sure why this sounds so foreign to me.....
i understand the page code instructs the browser to find and load the flash file from a path.
i do not understand "/2812gtbros.swf (i.e. start at the root of the site and look for that filename in that location)
i have the html fla and swf file in the folder on my computer named 212GTflashpics (2012freelance/2012gtbrothers/212GTflashpics/2812gtbros.swf) and i have it in the website folder GTbrothers1 with all the images scrpts sprys and html files
the files be in the website folder o
in your previous Question...
"This line -
<param name="movie" value="/2812gtbros.swf" />
is telling the browser to look for the flash file in the root of the website. Is that where it is?"
what is before the / in the value=" /2812gtbros.swf? wouldnt that tell us the path of the file?
thanx

SWF files doesn't show in flash

I converted some videos into swf files. I opened them in flash player and they all look fine, but when I imported one in flash and put it in the scene the only thing visible was a small white circle, like the one that appears at the center of the objects when you select them. It couldn't be moved, it could barely be selected and it doesn't show up when testing the movie. I don't need to edit the video in flash, I just want to put it together with other elements, something similar to this http://mawichan.deviantart.com/art/Oban-WEB-PAGE-381429374
I have the suspicion that they don't work because they were not originally made in flash, since I have worked with swf files in flash before, but those were banners previously made in flash.
However I would like to hear the opinion and/or advice of someone who knows more than me, I am still a beginner.
Thank you.

video files should be played in flash using the flvplayback component (or using the netstream class), not converted to swfs. ie, create a fla, add an flvplayback component to your stage and, in the properties panel, assign the component's source to be your video file. (use a relative path.)
