Flash cc .swf file question

Hello
i am at a stuck point on a project I am working on which includes editing a pre built flash player banner in the .swf file format. My problem is I need to change where the links are directing to in the flash banner but have no xpieriance in it. I installed flash cc and noticed it won't let me open a .swf file so I could try and give editing the link a go.
I Did download so-think swf editor and decompressor with no luck as I don't understand it's mechanics, but really want to be able to find a permanent solution for future projects to come within the adobe cloud applications I am already working with.
my question is what are my options for being able to edit swf files do I have to turn them into .fla files and if so how would I do that as I already attempted to simply rename the files .fla instead of .swf but flash cc found problems with that.
I am very much stuck and am encouraging any guidence I could possibly get to find a resolution to my problem, please help!
thanks
Erik

You cannot edit swf files... they are the result of publishing the fla files that create them. You need to acquire the fla files and edit and publish them in order to have the swf with the changes. If you are not able to acquire the fla files then you probably do not have the legal right to use the file.

How can I save a Flash or .swf file in AVI format without losing quality?

How can I save a Flash or .swf file in AVI (or another video) format without losing quality?

As long as you don't have code in your animation then just hit File->Export->Export Movie, then configure the options.
Here's an article on exporting sound, images and video. Just skip on down to exporting AVI and it explains the process. The codec is in the Video Compression section. When you click Settings for Video Compression, the codec is in the drop-down at the top. There's various kinds but to get lossless quality AVI you'll have to choose Uncompressed / None for full quality. Again, the file will be huge and you'll need to use another program (like Adobe Media Encoder) or Microsoft Windows Media Encoder, etc, depending on what format you intend to compress it ultimately.

Playing Flash Movie .swf files in iWeb

This is my second post. The first was about generally not being able to publish my website in iWeb in Argentina. Discovered it was due to the 12 kilobytes a second upload speed!
This query is about trying to get a flash movie with .swf extension to play on my homepage in iWeb
www.edgold.co.uk
Ive made a flash movie on my girlfriends PC. Why? Because she has Flash installed.
Ive transferred it to my Mac and it plays with a programme I downloaded called SWF & FLV Player - no problem there. For the love of trying I cant get it to play.
Ive gone to 'Insert' in iWeb, clicked on Choose and selected the swf file. Ive put it in position on my homepage and published it. Then Ive opened the HTML page thats found in iDisk using TextEdit so that I can change the html to get the flash plug in to play it.
I found all the details on website by 'Vertical Moon'
http://www.verticalmoon.com/tutorials/general/iweb/iweb.htm
Ive followed every step to the letter but where they seem to slip up is that the swf file isnt played by QuickTime. QuickTime on my Mac doesnt want to know! If it was played by QT then I'd have a chance to change the html from 'writeMovie1()' to writeflash1() but there is no sign of that code in the html file let alone having to change it in JavaScript.
At the end of the day Ive got an swf file (Flash) that I want to stiuck on the front page of my website to play over and over. Ive spent over 18 hours on this non-stop and its time I called it a day.
Please can someone tell me how to get iWeb to make friends with it!
Ive looked at lost of other sites about free Video code generating but none of them work!
Cheers
Ed
(Im in Patagonia - documentary photographer...sorting a good site helps me secure sponsorship and future exhibition venues. Your help is appreciated!

Alancito
Thanks for replying and the great info on getting a QuickTime to play automatically.
Please can you continue to help as Im having no luck.
I will write below briefly whats happening.
I made a QuickTime in iPhoto as was suggested. I dropped it into iWebs 'Media' button under the 'Movies' tab, in a folder. I then dropped the QT file onto my web home page. It shows with a control bar at the bottom of its window for playing it.
I published it OK. The live website shows the QuickTime movie BUT you have to click play to start it. So I then I opened the html file in iDisk in TextEdit.
I tried and tried to find the html code for the QT Movie. I read and re-read the whole html file from top to bottom and found no sign of the QT Movie. Then I went to 'Edit' and 'Find' in TextEdit and typed Movie. It came up with a bit of code which says writeMovie1();
I guess that this means it is talking about THE movie in question but there is no more code to
do with 'true' or 'false'. If it said false Id change to true but writeMovie1(); just looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
stuck almost at the bottom of the html file page.
Please help...remember Im using iWeb 06
Thanks...I hope Im close to solving this now. All I want is to play the QT automatically.

Importing a flash Catalyst .swf file in Flash CS5 ?

Hi,
I found Flash Catalyst by luck while browsing the Adobe website and downloading the Flash CS5 trial...
One simple question....
Can I import a .swf file created in Flash Catalyst into a Flash CS5 .fla as an element ?
I created a scrolling text attached to a custom made scrolling bar in Flash Catalyst, and I would now like to use it in my Flash CS5 project...
Well, I will be waiting for your responses...
Thanks in advance for your help !
Gilbert Gour

Unfortunately you can't import an SWF from Flash Catalyst into Flash CS5. Flash Catalyst uses the Flex Framework for building the its SWF. Flash CS5 does not use the Flex Framework and doesn't know what to do with that kind of file. You can load an SWF from Flash CS5 into your Flash Catalyst project, though.

SWF File question...PLEASE HELP

I've been asked to edit a Flash web site. The page they want
me to edit has a form on it, but they only have the .swf file. I've
opened it in Flash and am able to make the required changes, but
they thing I wanted to know is will the form be affected if I then
re export it as a .swf file or will it still work as it did before?
Thanks for your help,
Lucy

Lucy4,
> The HTML file is for a seperate form on the site.
Okay. Sometimes people provide two versions ... a "jazzy"
Flash version
and a "plain vanilla" HTML version. If that form is a
different one
altogether, then the variables required by form-mail.pl might
have nothing
to do with the variables required by the script to which your
SWF must
submit. Until we know how form-mail.pl works, we simply don't
know what to
send to it.
It *might* be the case that form-mail.pl was written to
receive *any*
variables. You won't know until you try. Send whatever
variables you like
and see what comes out at the other end (whoever it is that
receives the
email sent by the Perl script).
Then again, it might be the case that form-mail.pl requires
a certain
set of variables. If those variables are different from the
ones you showed
me in that HTML form, you'll have to find out what those
variables are.
That only makes sense, right?
> So does that mean then that I don't need to add any
> additional code to the HTML page that the Flash
> form will be on?
An HTML page *could* have both an HTML form and a Flash
form, by why
would a developer do that? It would confuse people ... you
can already hear
them asking, "Which form should I fill out?" When a developer
produces two
versions, they're both completely separate. Some developers
like to provide
site visitors with a Flash version of the site and a
non-Flash version of
the site -- but they're never provided side-by-side on the
same HTML page.
Your Flash form has nothing to do with existing HTML on the
page --
other than the <object> and <embed> tags
necessary to embed the SWF in the
document. There shouldn't be a form on the SWF's HTML page at
all.
> Also I've added the following code to the submit button

> if (!realname.length) {
> EmailStatus = "Please Enter your name before Sending";

This code might work and it might not. Without know what
it's supposed
to do, I can't answer the question.
First, you're checking of an
object, realname, has a length property greater than zero.
The way this is
written, you're coincidentally checking of the realname
object has a length
property at all. My question to you is, what sort of object
is realname?
Is it a String? Is it an Array?
My guess is that it's a String (after all the String class
does define a
String.length property), but if so, where is this string
coming from? Does
realname represent an input text field somewhere in your SWF?
If so, you
should probably be referencing that text field's
TextField.text property.
In other words, you presumably have an input text field in
your movie, and
that text field's instance name is realname. Since realname
is an instance
of the TextField class, you'll use the TextField.text
property to retrieve
the text inside that text field. And since TextField.text
returns a string,
you can use the expression realname.text in place of your
string in the
expression myString.length. Combined, that would be ...
if (realname.text.length == 0)
... or ...
if (!realname.text.length)
Does that make sense to you? If it doesn't, that's fine, but
it means
you need to familiarize yourself with what it means to use
objects in
ActionScript.
The next part ...
EmailStatus = "Please Enter your name before Sending";
... might mean something, too. But I have no idea what
EmailStatus is. Is
that a variable you'll be using later? There is no
EmailStatus entry in the
ActionScript Language Reference, so this must be something
you've defined or
written somewhere. Without that description from you, I have
no way of
telling you what EmailStatus is for -- or, for example, if it
can be set to
a String, as you've done here.
> loadVariablesNum ("snowMailPHP.php", "0", "Post");
> EmailStatus = "Sending...";
Now, this part may be fine. I don't know what
snowMail.PHP.php is.
Presumably, it's a form handler. If so, it's either a form
handler that can
handle exactly the variables you'll be sending or any
variables at all.
Your second parameter, "0", is incorrect. That needs to be a
Number, not a
String (see the loadVariablesNum entry of the ActionScript
Language
Reference for details).

How to detect end of flash movie (SWF file) in Javascript

I have used Dreamweaver CS4 to integrate my SWF file as shown
below. So far so good. See GoToNext()
my website
What I wouldd like to do is have the SWF movie trigger a
javascript function in my html page when the video is stopped
playing (i.e. when it is finished) There are no controlls in that
SWF file - it is basically am add banner. I would think this would
be easiest done by rasinng an event in SWF that is communicated to
javascript, where I can add an event listener, and thus trigger my
function.
How can this be done in the simplest way?
<div id="bodyFlash"
class="clearfloat"><p> </p>
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="760"
height="150" id="FlashID" title="Chillifire Banner">
<param name="movie" value="flash/chillifire.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />

<param name="expressinstall"
value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="flash/chillifire.swf" width="760" height="150">

<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
<param name="expressinstall"
value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />

<div>
<h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of

on the last frame in the banner file you can use the

Director mx 2004 won't display Flash 8 swf files & other Flash media

I have created a Flash 8 Project which has audio, video (which are converted to swf files fom flvs), flashpaper. This application is driven by XML.
However this application works fine outside director, but when I import the main swf file into director mx 2004 and RUN it, director won't display the videos (but I can hear the audio from the videos), Director wont show graphic images(eg menu icon movie buttons, and flash buttons). Also I can launch external files (eg text file) from flash, but again it won't work via director.
ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE

ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE
I suggest there's no need to shout.
Try linking the Director cast member to the external swf file instead of fully importing it. You also should have the 10.1.1 update in place - this is particularly important.

Server won't display flash html/swf files

I have a set of html/swf files that are "set" exacly like a dozen other nearly identical files that are served correctly by a hosting site but this set only displays a Flash Player upgrade icon on Foxpro and a blank page on IE. My client Flash Player is the latest and works fine for the other dozen nearly identical files. Of course the initiating fla file displays correctly with CS5.5 Flash itself.
I've run out of ideas about what causes the problem and how to fix it. Any ideas please?

Thanks for your response. I've resolved the problem. This one troublesome file was not "set exactly". The Publish Settings "output file" field designated a non-existent folder that was a remnant of a deleted folder. Flash did it's best to sensibly respond.

Swf file question

One thing I haven't learned on flash yet...and I'm sure it's
quite simple...is how do you run a swf file without it having to
have the support files that go along with it?
i.e., i want to send someone a completed swf file without
having to also send the fla file etc..
I'm assuming it has something to do with embedding.
Any help will be appreciated.
=)

You should be able to send the swf file by itself. If the
other person has the player to support it installed, then it should
play for them.

Printing Flash or SWF File

Hello all,
I am attempting to print a page of my flash file from within
flash (in the root of the file) and certain things are left out, as
they are left out on the actual flash 8 viewing screen.
I also tried compiling it and then going to print from SWF
file on the page I wanted a print out of, that worked better but
still very distorted. I'm just wondering how I can go about
accomplishing the goal of printing out various pages of my flash
file.
Also I know that like internet resolution is like 72dpi but
the flash file I'm not sure what resolution it is at, is there a
way to check? I'd like to print the various pages of my flash file
at the highest possible resolution, so knowing all that thank you
all for the help!
Travis

Your flash file is at 72 dpi unless everything is in vectors,
then it is resolutionless... is that a word? Basically vectors are
scalable to infinity, but bitmaps get fuzzy after a few zoom steps.
Increase the screen resolution on your monitor and zoom in on the
stage to 300% or more, then take the screenshots and change the
resolution in photoshop. Using the zoom you can get more then the
72dpi out of it, if you know what I am talking about.

Flash CS5 SWF File not functioning in Captivate 5

Hi,
I have an Interactive SWF File created in Flash CS5 that has an Intro screen with a button to continue etc and it opens to a presentation with several buttons, and works fine.
I bring the SWF file into Captivate 5. It shows fine in the Slide, but when I test it or publish it, two things happen.
It stops after a second and disappears. I have set it to play for the duration of the animation, but it makes no difference.
If I extend the timeline out to several minutes then it will stay, but although the Start button works, nothing happens, it just sits there.
how do I get the Slide to stop and stay so that the user can take their time interacting with the animation. ( I dont how long someone will spend on the presentation)?
Why doesn't the interactivity actually work?
Cheers
