Flash Movie export with Keynote

Hi, I am using Keynote this time mainly to make a Flash movie for a website. However, when I export the movie to SWF format,the file is quite large (About 9mb) too large for use online.
Does anyone know, is there a way to reduce this filesize? I looked to see if it is possible to make the canvas smaller than 800x600, as I only really need it to be about 500x400. Didn't see a place to make it smaller than 800x600.
Any reccomendations would be great, thanks.

There is a program that reduces flash file sizes
http://www.eltima.com/products/flash-optimizer-mac/
It compresses the file size, not sure if it resizes the dimensions

Flash movies made in keynote are not working in firefox

I have just finished a 65 page iwebsite at
www.acendedmasterscards.com
it is a card reading with a flash movie - made in
keynote for each card. It looks beautiful in
Safari but in firefox I get a blank white bit
instead of the movie. Help! I would also love
comments on the site! Karen.

I join in the other's congratulations as your site is wonderful. I really enjoy it and I have bookmarked it that I too can post a link to it when I get to an appropriate place in my web building. I will inform you of it.
I really like what you did with flash and I was trying to do something similar using keynote but I was exporting to a podcast instead of flash and it was never working right. I now thanks to you might try to do it in flash.
As far as the other browsers are concerned you might ask the question on the keynote forum as well perhaps one of the experts there will have another idea as to why it does not work. In the mean time keep positive thoughts and perhaps safari will become the new ie since it has been released to windows.
Thanks for sharing

Keynote Movie Export with Manual Advance doesn't work posted on MobileMe

Hi,
After exporting a Keynote Presentation to Quicktime with Manual Advance function checked the Manual Advance function is working perfectly.
However, after I post the same Quicktime movie on my Mobile Me gallery (or a webpage via iWeb) the Manual Advance only works on slide 1 taking it to slide 2.
When I click to advance at slide 2 it returns to slide 1 instead of going to slide 3...
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Clayton

This could be the old bug that causes this if the movie wasn't fully loaded. Try waiting till the movie fully loads (if it's not showing a progress bar, just wait a few min as it will probably load fully in that time). Then try it again. In my tests with older versions (haven't tested 09) this was the case...clicking on anything before the movie fully loaded sent you back to slide 1.

MOV exported from Keynote - last slide disappears, audio continues playing

I have a series of three mov files that were created in & exported from Keynote. They are audio & slide shows that are to autoplay on a website. Two of the files function as expected once embedded in the website, one does not; the last slide drops out (displaying a white screen) while the audio continues for approximately 30 seconds until the mov file ends. To add confusion to the issue ALL the files play as expected using Safari (on Win & Mac). Using Firefox on Mac delivers the "broken" results. Using ANY browser on Windows yields the broken result.
Any suggestions from anyone as to what could be causing this? A link to the website I'm talking about is below. The problem file is on index2.html

Hi,
Since I am trying to do a number of things with Keynote, I read these discussions looking for opportunities and pitfalls.
I read your message, and saw your outcome as an issue. Since I've yet to add the soundtrack to my current project, I needed to know more about the outcome before I proceeded, in order to adjust accordingly.
I took my project, and added a song as the soundtrack. I played the slideshow, and the soundtrack played along, across the slides as it should. I then began to record the slideshow, but the soundtrack came playing through the speakers and was being picked up by the microphones, so I offed the speakers, donned my headphones, and re-began the recording. The soundtrack was playing (in the headphones), and I was narrating across many slides.
I played the recorded slideshow, and all was present - soundtrack and recorded narration.
I exported to Quicktime, sending the output to a new folder so that it could easily be found, along with anything else that might be generated. Upon completion, there was only one movie file in the folder. I opened and played it in Quicktime. It was perfect - slides looked good, narration was there, and the soundtrack was playing in the background.
This outcome appears to be your objective, so I'm not sure what I did differently than you, but from this experience, it works as should be expected.
Good luck.

How to have Flash movie resize with rest of webpage

Hi,
I ran a search for this but couldn't find anything. Is there code I can write into my webpage (using dreamweaver) that will make my flash movie get larger along with the rest of my webpage when the viewer zooms their internet explorer 8 browser? Here's a link to an example. Looks fine when page is viewed at 100% but above that everything zooms except the movie.
www.empowerments.net/canary.html
Thanks for your help,
James

Thanks again for your time but it seems we're not on the same page (pun intended!).
I do appreciate you trying to help me and I understand how easy it is to misread the question perameters.
When your reply said "The Zoom does create a white space because it "zooms" the background image and text only.
The Flash content isn't set to zoom with it apparently"
it actually just stated what I said was the problem in my original post.
I've already said the flash content looks fine at 100% and is only a problem when zoomed in by the internet explorer browser.
The help I'm looking for is maybe a tip on some html code (like rescale = true or something) that I can write into the web page (via Dreamweaver) that tells the flash content to scale up with the rest of the page when zoomed.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?
Thanks again for your time and willingness, Mac=Win=Me!

Aligning flash movie edges with jpg's in HTML

I have created a flash movie that is 766 px wide by 750 px
high. The html page that the flash movie is embedded in uses jpg.
images to fill the remaiming browers area. (so it appears to the
viewer that flash movie and html page are one seemless page)
The problem I am having is matching (aligning) the edges of
the flash movie with the jpg images. I can get it very close, but
it never seems exactly right. (The edges of the flash movie have a
gradient and some color change.)
You can view my work in progress at:
http://www.awitest.com/index_silver.html
My questions is: is there a simpler, less time consuming way
to get the edges of the flash movie line up correctly with the
jpg's in the html???
By the way I have Design Premium CS3, if any of those other
programs can help with this problem.
Thanks for any advice!

yes, is is.
you can use this link.
http://de.selfhtml.org/css/eigenschaften/positionierung.htm#position
the dicription is german, but there are no problems to use
the code, i think.
working with cs3, i use the html of flash an delete all the
java-text. it's possible to use the objekt-tag in the
div-tag.

Flash movie slowing with each loop?

My main flash movie is made up with scenes, on each scene I have used the UILoader component to load external swf content to the main movie, the first one works fine but gradually with each loop the movie slows down, i have a globe in one scene which is looking really juddery... Can anyone help?
Thanks
Darren

First off, you should not use scenes - they have never really worked all that well, and just lead to problems. Aside from that, if you're adding listeners to your loaders you need to remove them - or use weak references, which you should always be doing anyway. Have you looked at task manager to see if successive loops are using more and more ram and/or more and more cpu cycles?

Load flash movie which with sound problem

Hi, all,
I am doing a flash which with audio, the audio about 3-4 mins. But when i use another flash movie to load that flash mov with sound (using load movie function), cannot hear any voice. Why is it?
The flash movie with sound is use actionscript to attach the sound, when i test the movie, it is work. When it comes to load from another movie, it doesn't work. Anyone can help me to solve it?
Thanks.

What version of Actionscript are you using?

FCPX movies exporting with green vertical lines on them... please help!

My videos appear fine in the viewer, but when I export them, there is vertical lines over the entire video (see screenshot) (screenshot won't insert into the message, i'll keep trying!). This has happened with 2 different projects, from 2 different events. The resolution of the project is 720p.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Merry Christmas!

Never use the Finder for movie spec information. It's not always accurate. Use the movie inspector of the QuickTime player.
Set the viewer to 100% and see if you see the lines after you've rendered the video.
Your video is in a non-standard format and looks as if it's in the MPEG-4 framework. It needs to be QuickTime and standard definition video specifications. By putting this video in a 720p project it is being hugely scaled to match the frame size. This is a really bad idea.
I don't know if optimization will work on this video, but try transcoding it and seeing of it will optimize. Export a portion of the project.
What version of the software are you using? It doesn't sound like the current version.

Sizing the Flash Movie Window with HTML

Hello,
I don't know why I'm having such a problem with this, but I'm
trying to open my Flash Player in a locked dimention (600 x 450).
what's happening is an <a href is opening the html file
published with the swf... which in turn of course launches the
swf... I've been trying to make the swf pop up at 600x450 but so
far no luck. It just pops up as the same size as the previous
window. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? oh, i'd also like to
have the swf pop up without the menus/toolbars/etc.
Thanks!

You don't say or show what you've tried, so it's difficult to
show what
you've done wrong.
From your description it sounds like you want to open a new
custom
chromeless window. To do that, you need to use the Javascript
window.open() method.
You can find thousands of examples in this forum with a
simple search.
You can also google "window.open" and get thousands more
examples.

SWF movie export on frame-by-frame basis WITH actionscript

Hi there,
I know they're two ways of exporting flash movies:
Export the whole timeline. This only allows timeline animations and gets messy because you have to cram up everything on the main timeline.
Realtime-Export via Quicktime. This is a "full blown" export, but heavily dependent on CPU power or speed of harddrive, depending on resolution.
I also work a lot with music programs and there is an option called "mixdown". This will render the whole song - as fast as the processor is capable - to a WAV-file. So time doesn't matter anymore, notes don't get skipped, etc.
I would like to see something like this in flash, too. WITH actionscript.
I just want flash to export one frame for each "onEnterFrame" event, NOT when the timer tells you, it's time for a "next frame". So this would mean not to trigger the onEnterEvent when the appropiate time has passed, but to trigger it, when the next frame can be exported.
Libraries like "TweenLite/Max" are capable of doing frame-based animations, independent from the timer, so everything on that end is pretty fine.
Would be so great if that was possible in any way.
Is it already in CS5? Or maybe an option in CS6... argh, so many years to wait...
until then, I have to measure the fps, look out for the lowest number, export at THAT framerate (in most of the cases just 4 or 5 fps, even on a very fast computer - just because 2 or 3 frames happen to render slower than the other 200) and afterwarts set it to 25 again (I use Blender to do this)

Greg-
Good Lead - Thanks.
I learned that having skinned components (which this uses)
keeps this preloader from working properly. The results were
unstable. It looks like a great little preloader for other things
though.
I also learned that it's a problem that others have
encountered and that hasnt been solved yet...
...."hello Adobe?"
Thanks again for helping me understand this.

Flash swf movie player with chaptering

Hi guys, I'm looking for an off the shelf paid flash player (or free if available) that will allow me to play SWF's (not FLV's or videos).
I have 5 .swf animations (1.swf, 2.swf, 3.swf, 4.swf, 5.swf).
I would like to have a player that if i click play, will play through the 5 animations one after the other seamlessley - however i may wish to skip through chapters (each .swf will be a chapter) by clicking ahead on a playhead or by selecting a chapter title from a drop down.
The chapters need to be seperate swf's because they will used individually aswell as as one piece.
So in effect I really simply want a player to watch all my flash movies concurrently with the ability to click ahead in the player and have it load the relevant .swf if need be!
Any suggestions?

Though this is not an extreme task to achieve, I'm not aware of any "you don't need to program anything" kinds of templates that allow you to quickly sequence a series of SWF files. But, I understand this kind of requirement if you aren't an AS3 programmer yourself (or maybe you are, and you just want to save time, which we all do!). Many times it can be worth paying $40 for some template/component versus taking the time ourselves (1 hour, someteims dozens of hours).
If this were programmed from scratch, it would be a combination of these concepts (sorry, no code here):
The Loader class to load in your other AS3 SWF files
Using an ENTER_FRAME event (in your application, not in the SWFs, which I'll assume you don't want to edit) to know when a SWF has reached the last frame, at which point you unload the current SWF and load a new SWF.
An array that lists out your SWF files.
Detection of when the final file has completed.
In addition, possible some UI controls that would:
Allow for the pausing/playing the current SWF (which would only control their main timeline; dealing with nested MovieClips with their own timelines would require add'l work).
Allow for the instant skipping to the Next or Previous SWF file.
Allow for the Restarting of the presentation when the final SWF has completed (or the option ability to loop to the 1st SWF at this point)
The end result would be your template, that could be made fully reusable by coupling it with a really small XML file:
The XML would become your list of SWF files
This could also control which UI controls you have available
Hopefully this gives you a general (abstract) sense of things you'd need to program (or find somebody to program...at which point the'll have their own take on how they'd do this).

Develop Flash Movies in Flex ?

Hi there,
is it possible to develop 'classic' Flash movies just with
Flex?

It is
possible but I wouldn't want to do it. Here's an example.
Suppose you want to make a butterfly move around and flap its
wings.
In Flash, you've create a symbol for each wing and one for
the butterfly body. Then you'd create a Butterfly MovieClip in
which you animate the wings flapping using the timeline and
keyframes.
To move about the screen you place the Butterfly on one layer
and create a guide layer for it. On the guide layer you'd use the
Pencil tool to make an eratic line. The Butterfly will follow this
line, flapping its wings as it goes.
To do that in Flex would be quite an undertaking. You'd have
to work with the ActionScript drawing commands (moveTo, drawTo) to
make wings and the body. Then you'd have to figure out how to use
the TweenEffect to get the wings to move correctly. Then you'd have
to figure out some algorithm for moving it around the screen.
I'd say the Flash version could be done in an afternoon or
less. The Flex way - who knows?

Flash Video Exporter plugin for FInal Cut Pro

Does anybody know how to install the Flash Video Exporter
plugin for Final Cut Pro so it shows up as an option in FCP?
I want to create FLVs directly from FCP.
Thanks

Scroll Down - its about mid page
This is on the intro page:
Note: You must have Flash MX Professional 2004 installed on
your machine to use the Flash Video Exporter with your video
editing application. The only exception is using the exporter in
Demo Mode.

Settings for converstion of Flash movies

Hi,
I have to convert movie clips of all formats (.mov, .dv, .wmv
or DVD VOD) to Flash to put online.
Can anyone help me to set best audio (bitrate, Hz) and video
(width 320 px, bitrate, framerate...etc.) to get the smallest .SWF
Flash movie file with the best/cleanest movie clips? Is there a
standard somewhere that people follow to do such conversions?
Thanks.

Have a look at Robert's Bandwidth calculator, when clicking
on the "grid size" you'll get a list of recommended frame sizes and
settings.
