Flash moving pics in a frame

I've imported a PSD file with layers into Flash. Now I want
to create a movie file with photos moving and changing within a
masked frame on the page. Is this possible?

Hi Gerald,
I did try both of those options, but I am still only moving the box..I have tried switching to the direct selection tool..taking my time holding it down on the box...but, still I get the box or the box on top. I know what you are saying about the layers, but it is merely a giant text box over a smaller box with a vector image in it...I just want to move the vector image and not mess with the text...I have to say I love InDesign, but quark did this so much easier....
oy.........
thanks for all your-help...if-you think of anything else...please let me know...
thanks!

How to export a flash project with a changing frame rate to a video

I have a Flash project that is a series of roughly 1000 images. The result of the images is a simple animation, and there is music imported on a separate layer.
There are moments in the music that I wanted to line up with certain frame changes, and there are sections of the music that I wanted to match up with a faster (double-time) frame rate.
I used this code in several places in the a code layer:
stage.frameRate = x;
The result is exactly what I want in SWF -- the animation speeds up and slows down at the exact right moments to match up with the music track, but it seems like it's just not possible to export this variable frame rate project to a video file?
According to the accepted answer on this post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4019538, it seems that:
The export function in Flash Pro doesn't transcribe *frames*, rather it plays the Flash animation and records it like a camcorder
If that's true, then I would think there is a way to record a variable frame rate project into a video -- does anybody know if this is possible?

That or Premiere would both get the job done. After Effects might be more desirable as it has a feature called Time Remapping (right-click on the video layer, Time->Enable Time Remapping). You can add keyframes to any point in a video and then drag them around to speed up or slow down the video. That'll allow for very precise tweaks.
Finally all I'd suggest is when you jump into your next project, make a quick dummy test project to see if the software you're using is easily capable of producing what you want. It'll solve the headache of completing the project only to land where you are now. Now you know Flash won't play nicely with scripts and Export Movie. If your desired end result was always a video I'd probably use video editing software to make the video. There's some free stuff out there if you really look, but no, it won't be as nice as After Effects or Premiere by any stretch. Although when you see how amazing After Effects is, you'll probably want to buy it .

Comment flasher un pic à travers LabVIEW

Bonjour,
je suis entrain de programmer un microcontrolleur STM32w108 (sous IAR). Est-il possible de flasher le pic à travers LabVIEW?
Merci,

There is no native way to flash a processor from LabVIEW. You'll either need to call an external program to do it (if you have access to such a program, you can use System Exec to run it), or you'll need some code already on the processor that can receive new code over some interface (serial, CAN, etc) and write it to the processor's flash memory. I've seen sample code for this for Microchip's dsPIC processors, perhaps similar sample code exists for your system.
If you happen to have access to the LabVIEW Embedded Toolkit, and it supports your processor, then there may be an easier way to do this.

Moving pics between accounts

I just want to check that this information is correct: To move photographs from one account on my computer to another account which is synced with a color iPod, I should just export my pics from iPhoto as 'orginals', burn them to an DVD, then import them to the other account's iPhoto.
Correct? Is there is an easier way - moving folders of photos from one account to another if I have administrator rights?
How do I move a video clip from one computer to another computer - iTunes bought clip?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

You can use the instructions in this article to share your iPhoto library.
To move the video clip to another computer, locate it on your hard disk, and then copy the file to an optical disk, an external hard or flash drive, or use a direct connection between the computers, such as Ethernet, AirPort, or FireWire, to copy it.

Script for moving playhead to last frame, then exporting jpg?

Hi,
I have a lot of Flash files for which I need to export jpgs of their last frame. Could a kind soul out there guide me on how to write a command for moving the timeline's playhead to the last frame, then exporting a jpg (at Full Document Size, 72 dpi, 96% quality)?
A million thanks,
Kevin

private function snapshotLastFrame():void
gotoAndStop( this.totalFrames );
_bitmapData                         = new BitmapData( stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight );
_bitmap                              = new Bitmap( _bitmapData );
_bitmapData.draw ( stage );
saveImageJPG( _bitmapData, "test.jpg", 96 );
public function saveImageJPG( bitmapData:BitmapData, fileName:String, quality:int ):void {
            this.jpgEncoder = new JPGEncoder( quality );
            this.fileReference = new FileReference();
            this.fileReference.save( this.jpgEncoder.encode( bitmapData ), fileName + ".jpg" );
Keep in mind that you need a few extra libraries to be able to create a jpeg.. (AS3CoreLib) can be found at googleCode.

Flash CS 4 to Quicktime frame issues

I'm rendering short (3 min.) Flash movies to Quicktime. The
movies are H.264, 1280 x 720, 15 fps, and I'm working on the
fastest machine Apple currently makes. Flash can't seem to complete
the task, as it leaves artifacts from earlier frames in subsequent
frames. It's very annoying.
Is there a setting I can tweak that will make this program do
what I bought it for?
Thanks in advance for any help.

You appear to be discussing features built-in to Dreamweaver that involve Flash content, so you may get better information from the Dreamweaver forum in regards to using these feaures.
It is unlikely that Dreamweaver 2004 would be compatible with Flash CS4, though compatibility is not really an issue since Flash has little use for Dreamweaver to do nything it needs to, and Dreamweaver is pretty much just a fancified text editor, where if you needed to incorporate Flash CS4 content you could have Flash publish the html code and then paste that code into the html file in Dreamweaver.

Moving pics location and removing images from iphoto

Here is the basic breakdown.
1. Imported pics from camera into iphoto.
2. I want to remove some of the pics from iphoto.
3. I do not want to use delete due to I want to burn/move a copy to CD or a different folder on my HD.
4. I moved a couple for test purposes from my iphoto lib to my home folder.
5. Reboot.
6. In iphoto I can still see the photos in the smaller views. but when I try to full screen the photo I get an grey screen ?x type of thing.
I do not want the small pic either.
Advice or direction?
Thanks.
T

T Slap:
To add to Terence's suggestions I'd like to expand on:
3. I do not want to use delete due to I want to burn/move a copy to CD or a different folder on my HD.
To copy those photos to another folder use the File->Export->File Export menu option. This will copy the files to the location of your choice.
To burn the photos to disk so that iPhoto can access them at a later date then use the method described by Terence. To burn just the jpg files to a disk without the iPhoto format use the Export route again to a folder on the desktop and then burn that folder via the Finder.
And do not take the warning about messing with files via the Finder lightly. As you found out it can really mess up the library.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Flash to Flex movieclip single frame loaded problem

Hi all,
I have exported a small movieclip (which has 10 frames consisting of a classical rotation animation) as swc from Adobe Flash CS4. I did this from the Library panel by setting the properties as:
- Export for ActionScript 3 (Class name given)
- Export for frame 1 (Deselected)
Afterwards I copied this component to Adobe Flex (Flash Builder 4 Beta 2) libs directory. I then created an instance of the movie clip in Flex with the new keyword (var myMovieClip:MovieClip = new MyMovieClipClass()).
So far so good. The problem arises when I try to navigate between the frames with nextFrame() and gotoAndPlay() etc. The problem is that - only the first frame of the movieclip seems to be loaded - I found it out by checking :
if (myMovieClip.framesLoaded > 1) {
//then log this --BREAKPOINT
When I try to debug the application it never stops in this breakpoint. So, only one frame seems to be loaded.
What do you think the problem here is?Am I in the wrong direction for trying to navigate between frames of an exported swc movieclip?
Thanks in advance...

Ok, I solved the problem. The problem was in Flash I could not convert the animation to movieclip properly. I had designed the animation on the stage, so when I select the object and converted it, only the single graphics object is converted. I started with "create new movieclip" and designed the animation that way, the problem solved.
In the library pane, one should see the animation run when right clicking the component and selecting play option. Keep this in mind...

Flash player animations stopping on frame 1

In our Digital Signage application, a number of our installations are experiencing problems with the Flash player. It appears that most, if not all of them, are at Flash version 10.3.183.10.
The symptom is: Within our Windows .NET based app (which embeds the flashplayer.ocx) the SWF file is loaded and begins playing - but appears to stop all animations at or around the first frame.   We first thought it was only text that was disappearing but it seems that any object that is placed on screen dynamically (after frame 1) is not showing up.
The screenshots we are seeing will show whatever background image exists plus sometimes the beginning of a text or other object's entry effect. The strange part is that the underlying frame based scripting seems to still process in that we still are receiving the proper fscommands during and at the end of the SWF movie - and the movie will play the proper duration. Thus it seems like the underlying script is chugging along - not realizing that nothing is actually happening graphicaly. Once this problem occurs, it will then effect every subsequent SWF until an application restart or reboot.   We've seen this occasionally for a few months now but it seems to be happening more and more often. We have not been able to reproduce it consistantly in-house and it is still faily rare (Probably 20 out of 1000 units daily) - and not always the same units.
We're still working on corralating other information but that's what we know now.   It would be easy to work around if the scripting would die too (like the WSOD) - in that case we could detect missing fscommands and gracefully restart.
We will eventually get all systems to Flash 11 but that will take a little time - and we're not even sure if that will fix it. ???
Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated. A fix would be nice but just being able to detect it would satisfy me.
Thanks.

Flash CS5 movie with 2167 frames doesn't render properly when published

I have a flash animation (.fla) that I am creating in flash professional CS5.
I have not finished development but have hit a snag with completing it, because when the movie has 2166 frames or less, it publishes to swf correctly, but when I add additional frames (2167 or more), upon publishing to swf my 3D animations and text do not display in the published swf file.
I know in the older versions of flash there is a frame limit of 16000 frames, but is there an even smaller frame limit in flash CS5 of 2166 frames or less? Perhaps this limitation is only apparent when using the new features like 3D animation?
Adobe, is there a bug fix for this? Any suggestions?
Thanks

Here's the workaround I used to fix this if anyone experiences a similar problem:
Problem:
When publishing from flash CS5 with actionscript 3.0 to swf, publishing takes a long time and 3D tweens and text do not display in the published movie.
Workaround:
File > Publish Settings
Select the Flash tab
In the script dropdown, change the option from Actionscript 3.0 to Actionscript 2.0
If you have any 3D tweens, a warning will appear - "3D tweens can only be supported in ActionScript 3.0 or higher. 3D properties will be permanently removed from all tweened objects if the current publish settings are changed. There is no undo for this operation."
Click Ok
If you have any TLF text, another warning will appear "TLF text can only be supported in ActionScript 3.0 or higher. TLF text will be permanently converted to classic text if the current publish settings are changed. There is no undo for this operation. Undo history will be cleared."
Click Ok
Any text that was converted to Classic text may have changed in layout & position
review and fix all your text
Save the file.
Publish to swf and test
File > Publish Settings
Select the Flash tab
In the script dropdown, change the option from Actionscript 2.0 back to Actionscript 3.0
Add your 3D tweens back in
Publish to swf and test
If anyone has a better solution I'm still interested to hear it, as my workaround doesn't allow you to use TLF text.

Partitioning hard drive and moving pics

I have a single hard drive and the OS (win7) and all my data & pics are on a single partition.
I want want to create a new partition and move my data and pics onto it, leaving the OS on the original partition.
Will Lightroom "know" that I've moved the folders and will the LR catalogue be intact?
Many thanks.

No, Lightroom is not aware of any moves of your photos. What you need to do is move the photos using your operating system and then you would reconnect in Lightroom using these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
Unless you have some non-Lightroom reason for partitioning your hard drive, I guess I would advise you to not even bother. Of course, you may have non-Lightroom reasons for partitioning...

How is Flash Sites done - Pages as Frames?

i am wondering how are flash web sites done? having frames to act as pages? is that the best way?

Ouch, a full Flash website with only code and dynamicaly builded is quite a complex matter.
There is for sure a tutorial out there... for this, and another one for that, and so on. What I'm saying is that, it is a matter of many different bits of "areas of knowledge".
When someone dwelves for the first time into making a professional full Flash website, he discovers many kinds of new difficulty regarding what first seems to be small details.
However, most flashers, (I guess...), eventualy starts to dwelve that way one day or another, because some tricks can only be done with code...
And yes, you can dynamicaly build a form in Flash. Usualy, for my part, I will design it in Flash, on the scene, and then make the code according to the layout. For sending the data to PHP or MySQL, that should be done with code anyway. But you are right, forms are complex because of the many different kinds of fields and menus and buttons (depending of the form).
Many will use some parts of the website as predone MovieClips (like forms), inside a full coded website. There is not a one-way-only to make a full flash.
Google for those bits you want (like forms), and you will find many a tutorial.

I used to be able to pull photos from my iphone into my itunes but something has changed. I dont remember how I did it before but I think an option is missing. Does anyone know what the process was for moving pics from your iphone to your itunes?

I cant download the new iTunes soflware on my PC because I have not yet been able to sync my photos from my phone to my itunes. If I update to the new software on my pc, for some reason I can't then update my phone software. What Ive had to do the past few times is go the the Apple Store and have them load the new iTunes on my phone for me but then that means I lose all my pics. I dont remember how I used to get my photos from my phone to my itunes but i know i used to be able to. I think I lost some of my options. Does anyone know what this could be? PS: I have the iphone 3g and Windows XP on my PC
