Flash cs3 Slideshow movie

I need to recreate the opening slideshow movie that plays
here:
mogullife.com
I need to change the pictures and the song. but it still
needs to be a moving slideshow that doesnt stop or have thumbnails,
but the music can be turned off.
I have created exactly what I want on a keynote presentation,
but when i export it to flash, it doesnt keep the transitions. Also
each image and each transition has different timing.
Can someone please guide me in the right direction? Should I
use the slideshow presentation or action script? help me.
you can reach me on ichat or myspace.com/samanthadarling
any input is appreciated.
thanks

Oh I see. No, it's just short words, upper and lower case. Nothing else as you described. The text was typeset in Flash.
I did some further testing, like switching fonts (again), enlarging the text bounding box, exporting the movie without anti-alias, converting the text to a shape (break apart twice), all to no avail. Most curious.
I should add that the text displays perfect in the .fla file. Just buggers up when I export to a .swf.

Flash CS3- exported movie cuts off right side edge of my fonts

I made a movie in Flash CS3. The exported SWF shows that the right hand side of some of my letterforms (made from a non-converted font) are clipped off. Switching fonts produces similar results. Is there some glitch in the program that I am no aware of?
Thank you-

How to export height quality gif frm Flash CS3?

Hi,
When i export a .GIF movie from Flash CS3 , the movie quality is not good, here is some dot dots in the gif movie.
How to export height quality gif ? . Kindly explain pls as soon possible...
Thanks & Regards
Mohan

GIF is a color restricted format with on/off support for transparency. There's really no settings you can tweak to output a better GIF. You have a drop-down during GIF sequence export to allow transparency, select the amount of colors (up to 256) and you can choose dither to save a little filespace. The only 2 things in there that really matter are dither and amount of colors used to export.
If your content is very similar (e.g. not a lot of complex gradients/shadows/etc) and is limited in color use turning down the amount of colors used and dithering is your only option.
Make sure you're exporting the GIF via "Publish Settings" so you get a single animated GIF and not file->export->movie because this creates a separate sequence of GIF images for each frame.

Quicktime movie export from Flash CS3 is skipping frame.

When I try to export Quicktime movie from Flash CS3, the
resulting mov file is skipping frames. i.e.: The movie is showing
frame number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 12, 15
etc...
As you can see the frame number 7 is repeated 3 times and
frame 8 and 9 are nowhere to be found.
The last configuration I used is 960x540, Sorenson video 3
medium quality, 25 fps, keyframe every 25 frames. 6400 kbits/s.
I tried various configurations,with different codecs and even
with keyframe all frames and I always get simillar problems.
Anyone have an idea what is going on, and how to fix this?
Thank you,
Olivier.

The QT exporter in Flash is honestly my least favorite
feature - not the feature itself but how it
works (or how it doesn't work in some cases). For me it is
almost unusable unless you have a very
short timeline, small stage, lower frame rate - like AS
generated effects or something - otherwise,
for true frame accuracy to video output - it is not reliable
enough and not fast enough for any real
world production environment.
So typically for me - I love SWF2Video (www.flashants.com) as
it takes any SWF and makes it into an
AVI that is frame accurate no matter what the frame rate is -
quite incredible - enough so that I
always felt it should have been bundled with Flash (as well
as Wacom tablets).
Harmony is an incredible product - as is SOLO and TBS (Toon
Boom mStudio) - each of those programs
are dedicated animation programs designed for output to video
- Flash has a lot of hats to fill and
it was never really designed for animation to video even
though many of us have found it suitable
for all intents and purposes as an animation program for full
production.
But all in all - the quicktime exporter doesn't really
deliver how we would expect it too I am sorry
to say - I only hope it works as well as it does on the Mac
(Mac users could always choose to export
to Quicktime Video but not PC users).
For now if I am exporting to video I keep it all on the
timeline or nested in Graphic symbols or use
the SWF2Video tool.
hope this helps.

Flash CS3 hard crash on Debug Movie

I've logged this bug but wanted to post it to the boards in
case anyone else is having this same problem. It's been going on
since I purchased Flash CS3 pro and has been really crippling my
development workflow because I can only get the debugger to work
maybe 1 in 4 times.
I also tried reinstalling the latest Java hoping that might
help as the bug referenced Java.
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Debug Movie (Flash CS3 IDE) with licensed off-the-shelf
Flash CS3 Pro.
Notes: "About Flash" shows version as: 9.0
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\Flash.exe properties
shows version as 9.0.0.494
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html
"Adobe Flash Player Update for Flash CS3 Professional (9.0.2)"
never seems to "take" no matter how many times I apply it and
restart.
Results: Immediate crash of Flash IDE
And unable to re-open Flash IDE by clicking on an FLA file or
Flash Shortcut, which give the message "Windows cannot find
'[filename]' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try
again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click
Search." Must restart or logout in order to be able to open Flash
again.
Expected results:
No crash, debugger should work.

It's been a year since, still not solution!?
I am having similar problem for the last 6 months!!

Help!! Flash CS3 and CS4 "Test Movie" very slow on OS X

This is a problem that, having read many forums, affects a
very large amount of people, though Adobe doesn't care at all. It
only affects OS X users. I know that it has been addressed many
times in different forums, but I never actually stumbled across
anyone having found a solution.
When I use Flash CS3, and I make any animation, even the
simplest tween, and I preview it with Test Movie, the result I get
is an extremely slow playback. Something like half the FPS it
should be.
However, when I export the SWF and preview it in the external
Flash Player or in a browser, it's just fine and fast.
Another interesting thing is that in CS3, when I open the
Help panel, the problem with Test Movie only happens like 20% of
the time. In that case, it only gets solved if I restart or Log Out
at least. I have no idea why the Help panel being open solves the
problem, this only shows that this is probably a little graphic
user interface bug, or something similar, that could be solved very
very easily.
In Flash CS4, there is no Help panel, so there is no solution
to the problem.
It would be nice to be able to press Cmd + Enter to see the
movie, and not have to do File > Export > bla bla bla, open
Finder, Find the SWF, double click it, wait for the browser to
open... etc...
I have a brand new 2.5 GHz MacBook Pro, and Test Movie runs
faster on my 900MHz Pentium III PC!! Funny...
Here are some links I found about this problem:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-878
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb407896
http://www.kirupa.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-258991.html
This is quite ridiculous, and on Adobe's Support page, the
solution is "Do not use Test Movie."
And the funny thing is that they didn't even bother to fix
this in CS4...
So basically if something doesn't work, Adobe's solution is
"Don't use it."
I guess they're right!
Please, tell me if anyone has or does not have this problem
or knows anything about it!
Thanks,
Mate

Need help with Different approaches to setting variables in a Flash movie in Adobe Flash CS3 Professional Version

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Flash CS3 Professional version of Flash
software,
I need help and guidance on
Different approaches to setting variables in a Flash movie,
what I should do in the fla file, and in the html file.
Thanks, Gil

Hi petro_jemes,
Just a little claritification, you need to add the value to the variable "[string]$ou", and also change the language in the variable "$emailbody" in the function "Get-ADUserPasswordExpirationDate".
I hope this helps.

Can't do Publish/Publish Setting a movie in Flash CS3

I installed Flash CS3 while still keeping Flash 8. When I try
to publish/publish setting a movie, an alert pops up saying 'No
valid HTML Templates are available to complete this operation'.
Probably there was a conflict so I uninstalled both Flash
CS3, Flash 8 then installed Flash CS3 but the problem still comes
up. What is that?
Thanks in advance.

Hey,
First of all, thx for the answer.
The publish location is fine; it publishes to the same place,
like b4 the problem. Nice thought though.
What kind of problem could it have? And can it be fixed?
I've tried to rename it. Nothing.
It's a template that I've bought and I have the source file
in a ZIP, so every time it happens, after i've done some changes, I
copy them one by one, and then I publish it again and I'ts fine.
I'm sick of doing it...
What it be possible for you to check the file?
Thx,

Flash CS3 interface: The movie explorer

Hi there,
I am new to this forum and new to flash as well. I've been
playing and doing lots of Swish Max and recently wanted to try
Flash CS3. The thing is that I can not wonder how to get the
complete tree structure of a movie. I am lost without it. I've seen
the movie explorer only shows one level of dependency and that is
to complicated to follow.
Can someone explain to me how could I get something like
that?:
Here is the
image...
What I want is a general overview of
all the objects in my movie, but showing all the
dependencies (e.g. One is contained into another, and this one
contains another one... )
(I would also like to know how can we make appear in this
structure the objects named by it's instance name and not by the
names Symbol1, Symbol2 etc (not only the Instance next to it-
Symbol1 <myInstanceName>, but the instance's name directly
and all alone)
Thank you very much.

Problem on flash, cannot play movie error(Adobe Flash CS3 stop working)... help guys...

Just a minute ago my .fla file can be played. But after several minute when I added movie clips and animations. It just crashed down I guess, Adobe Flash CS3 stop working. I'm using Microsoft Vista operating system. I have an antivirus subscription which is McAfee with automatic update. I think it's a virus or what? I dunno what to do. I got a long way already with my animation on my file. When I will start from the very beginning it would be a mess and it will consumed a lot of time.
Four to five attempts of testing the movie:
error msg: Adobe Flash CS3 stop working.
After several minute, test the movie again:
error msg: Flash CS3 memory overload, I dont know the exact error message.
I inspect the microsoft dialog and views the problem, it says APPCRASH, Flash.exe and has several .dll and other components did not load.
Need help,
Godspeed us all,

first, open flash without opening a fla. if it opens ok, create a new fla and save it. close flash and reopen the new empty fla and test it.
if that all works ok, open your project fla. save it with a different name. close flash, reopen the renamed project fla and attempt to test it. any problem?

Flash CS3 and CS4 "Test Movie" extremely slow, ridiculous.

This is a problem that, having read many forums, affects a very large amount of people, though Adobe doesn't care at all. It only affects OS X users.
When I use Flash CS3, and I make any animation, even the simplest tween, and I preview it with Test Movie, the result I get is an extremely slow playback. Something like half the FPS it should be.
However, when I export the SWF and preview it in the external Flash Player or in a browser, it's just fine and fast.
Another interesting thing is that in CS3, when I open the Help panel, the problem with Test Movie only happens like 20% of the time. In that case, it only gets solved if I restart or Log Out at least. I have no idea why the Help panel being open solves the problem, this only shows that this is probably a little graphic user interface bug, or something similar, that could be solved very very easily.
In Flash CS4, there is no Help panel, so there is no solution to the problem.
It would be nice to be able to press Cmd + Enter to see the movie, and not have to do File > Export > bla bla bla, open Finder, Find the SWF, double click it, wait for the browser to open... etc...
I have a brand new 2.5 GHz MacBook Pro, and Test Movie runs faster on my 900MHz Pentium III PC!! Funny...
Here are some links I found about this problem:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-878
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb407896
http://www.kirupa.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-258991.html
This is quite ridiculous, and on Adobe's Support page, the solution is "Do not use Test Movie."
And the funny thing is that they didn't even bother to fix this in CS4...
So basically if something doesn't work, Adobe's solution is "Don't use it."
I guess they're right!
Please, tell me if anyone has this problem or knows anything about it!
Thanks,
Mate

1) Every post I see that you have made recently reflects on problems that are most likely associated with your computer that are causing problems with your software. 1st thing I would look at with your problems (and I do not mean just this one) is a conflict with another program, ei antivirus software, etc. Trying turning off programs one by one, relaunching your CS programs, and see if you can find a culprit.
2) With that kind of attitude you are only going to receive just as friendly/helpful solutions. Just because SOMEONE ELSE doesn't solve YOUR problem does not mean that THEY are ignorant.

Flash CS3: Help me make my movie play, please!

URL: http:schoolsignsonline.com
This is an electronic sign company, so I'm trying to put a Flash movie of one of their signs onto their preexisting site. No sound, no skin, no controls, just the movie, looping endlessly.
I imported an .avi video (from a PC) from the client into Flash CS3 (on a Mac), and made sure my stage was the same size as the file parameters.
Saved the file. Tested the movie in Flash. **The movie plays just fine**. It's a picture of brightly colored balloons ascending on a black background.
I publish the movie.
I copy the .fla and .swf into the flash folder at the root level of the site on my local server.
I go into Dreamweaver CS3 to insert the movie using their Insert>Flash into the div I've created for it on the index page (which uses server side includes for the nav & footer only - no PHP involved - so each page has an .shtml extension).
I test the movie in DW by clicking on the green arrow in the properties toolbar. Nothing but white. Movie doesn't play, or if it is playing, it's only white.
What the heck. I save the page, letting DW generate the script.
I upload the revised index page, the flash folder (with the .swf and .fla files in it), and the Scripts folder to the site on the remote server.
Go to a browser. Nothing but white where the movie is supposed to be.
I asked about this on the Adobe DW group on Yahoo Groups, and they really didn't know, thinking it was a Flash problem. One of them said the movie couldn't be found. Dang it! This is a script that DW generated when I placed the movie into the page! I don't know anything about JavaScript (yet), so I'm not going to muck about in the code to break it.
BTW, the HTML for the page with the movie on it no longer validates - I hear this is typical of a CS3 Flash insertion by DW.
Can anyone PLEASE help me figure out what I've done wrong? What other info do you need from me?
Thank you in advance.
Theresa

For the Flash-generated html file, you basically want to copy the script tag in the head section....
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
into the same place in the head section of the real file.
and copy the entire section of code in the body starting with and including...
<script language="javascript">
if (AC_FL_RunContent == 0) {
.... all the stuff between....
</object>
</noscript>
into the div you mention
And in the case of what's shown above, you would want to have the AC_RunActiveContent.js file in a Scripts folder.

Flash CS3 ActionScript and "Test Movie" on Mac

I recently switched over to a PowerMac and Flash CS3 from
Flash 8 on a PC.
I've been on a PC forever but wanted to migrate over to the
Mac as XP and Vista and the headaches we all know about.
So, within Flash you can "Test Movie" and a little test
window pops up displaying your swf.
It has always been the case on the PC, and my friends with
Flash 8 on the Mac tell me it's the same for them, that you can be
writing in the Actions panel and then hit "Control/Apple - Enter"
and the ActionScript actions you just typed will be reflected in
the "Test Movie" pop up. In other words it the "Test Movie" window
acts as a constantly updated reflection of the latest edit to your
Flash piece, regardless of whether you've "Saved" the .fla document
itself.
This is part of the normal work flow to me. Write some
actions, edit them, when they are right, I save. But in the
meantime, as I'm writing I can keep hitting "Control/Apple - Enter"
to watch the changes of my edits and I'll see them.
Well, on my new Mac with Flash CS3, the "Test Movie" window
never updates to the latest edit. Whether with hot-keys or with the
cursor/menu selection, the window will not reflect the latest edit,
UNLESS, I close it first. If I close it, and then hit the
hot-keys/menu for "Test Movie" then it will load my latest edit
(regardless of whether the .fla is saved). So it seems that closing
the pop up "Test Movie" window prior to is the only way to ensure
getting the current edit/actions to preview.
If you write a lot of actions script, then I'm sure you can
agree that adding that "close the window" step into your work flow
is really really a headache. And, if I can't find a way around
that, sadly, I'll have to migrate back to the PC, ugh, and Flash
CS3 on it, which still acts as it always has, with "control-enter"
faithfully launching the current edit.
Any ideas? Have you experienced this.

You have to switch the focus back to the application and then
to the test window. Evidently between Flash MX04 (the one I have to
test) and CS3, they made it so that just clicking in the AS editor
window doesn't return the focus to the application. In that case
the Testing Environment intercepts the apple-enter and just
re-tests the already compiled version.
If you click the application window, then click the
actionscript window, it will recompile the swf. However I
personally don't find apple-w to close the window so
onerous.

Is Vista and Flash CS3 performance issue solved?

My performances in Flash CS3 are very poor. When I try to
scroll up-down/left-right I got slideshow. When move the
framecursor to view the frames I also get slideshow. Searched
google, do the compatibility settings and the only batter thing I
get is smoother scrolling of the code. Nothing more. Is this
solved?
Im running C2Duo with 4gb 800 ram with Vista x64.
Should I go back to Flash 8?

I have an old AlBook G4 1.67 2GB and I actually think CS3
works great. There is a huge thread about this very issue going on
at the moment so you might want to take a look there. I never had
Flash 8, but MX04 also ran just fine on my laptop.
As far as player performance, it has sped up a lot with AS3
and Flash plugin 9. (Even if you publish AS2 for Flash 9!). I Don't
know if there is true parity between the systems, but it is
certainly faster.
I've always thought it a good idea to develop on a Mac. If
you can make your animations look smooth and good playing back in
the Mac version of the player then you know they will look good
across the board. I can't tell you how many sites (thankfully fewer
these days) where I go and everything just crawls and chugs along.
It is usually due to over high frame rates and excess transparency
or animated raster images. (And I'm talking about the kind that
even if it did move smoothly it wouldn't be worth it!)

Error embed / insert Flash CS3 9.0 swf in Acrobat 8.1.2

Goal: embed Flash swf file in Acrobat pdf.
Software: Flash CS3 9.0, Acrobat Pro 8.1.2, Mac OS 10.5.2 (all updates applied as available 3/27/08). If it matters: Quicktime Player 7.4.1. All swf files are associated to open with Flash Player 9 (9,0,115,0).
Hardware: PowerMac Dual 2GHz G5, 9.5 GB RAM
Error Description: This error is seen on 2 out of 3 PowerMacs; the 3rd PowerMac will inexplicably work. Here is what is done to receive error: Open pdf document in Acrobat. Select Movie Tool from Advanced Editing Toolbar, choose swf file from Desktop (pdf file is also saved on Desktop to eliminate network considerations). All defaults are retained in dialog window, when "OK" is pressed, status message "Initializing authoring system" appears and remains indefinitely. "Cancel" is pressed and produces following error message window: "Cannot create the movie annotation because the movie could not be loaded. This can occur if the file cannot be found or the URL is unreachable (make sure proxy server settings are correct)."
Adobe Support claims Leopard incompatibility with embedded Quicktime 7.3.1 (I have updated to 7.4.1). Also, AS recommended file association of swf to Flash Player exclusively. Have taken all actions recommended...still have problem.
Anyone have any ideas?

I believe that the latest version of QuickTime which you no doubt have installed does not support the latest version of Flash (9.0). Since Acrobat depends on QuickTime for multimedia in Acrobat 8 Professional, this feature breaks.
What needs to happen is for the next version of Acrobat to support Flash directly, not using QuickTime.
