Flash to swf options

Hi, I am trying to export my flash (CS4) file to an swf without having it contain the outside stage activity, I could not find those setting in the export options, does anybody know how to do that?

You can't do that. If you are displaying the file in an swf player rather than via embedding the file in a web page, then the player should be sized to the dimensions of the stage of the file being played.
If you are viewing the swf directly in a browser, then your only option would be to mask the whole thing such that it only shows what is on the stage, which is not necessarily a simple task.

Saving Flash 7 SWF created in Flash 8

I understand from experience that viewing Flash 8 SWF files
on the Flash 7 Player results in text not showing up. The Flash 8
text is obviously superior, but unfortunately, a major contingent
of my viewers are too afraid, too naive, or their systems are too
messed up to upgrade their Flash Players from earlier versions.
Obviously, to solve the problem, I can save the SWF as Flash 7
backward compatible; however, I am more than disappointed with the
results of this solution. The main problems with this approach is
that the text looks week and the bitmap alignment is no longer
perfect when trying to intermingle my flash content with existing
background content.
Please someone help me with a better solution by providing me
with a list of parameters that need to be in place so that my Flash
7 files created in Flash 8 look more presentable.

There seems to be come confusion here. It's not a matter of
'checking off'
options, rather of publish settings. In the 'Publish
Settings' dialogue,
under the 'Flash' tab, 'Version', select 'Flash Player 7'.
the important
thing is not to use any *features* that depend on Flash
Player 8 - these
include (but are not limited to!) filters, any of the new
text rendering
options (custom anti-alias), any of the new Classes (geom,
filters, display,
external) etc etc etc.

Again, you are a bit confused I think. Obviously they will be
different than
if published for FP8 - that wasn't my point. What I said was:

and bitmaps will
look

So, using Flash 8 to author but publishing for FP7 will look
the same as
using Flash MX2004 ('Flash 7') to create your content. You
are saying your
bitmaps shrink "compared to when exported normally in Flash
8" - I never
mentioned publishing for Flash 8.

Well yes, of course. You said it yourself - you have exported
for FP7 -
playing it in FP8 won;t magically make it look better! For
that, you would
have to *publish* for FP8.

I am a Flash developer. When I change a Flash file (SWF) and try to test it, Firefox displays the previous version even though I have cleared the cache. Clearing the cache obviously doesn't clear everything. Why?

I developed a Flash file (SWF) with a light blue start button, placed it on a web server then went to the URL using Firefox (3.6.8). Later I updated the SWF (changed the button to dark blue), replaced the SWF on the web server, opened Firefox and used Tools/Clear Recent History... to clear the cache. Then when I went to the URL to test the replaced SWF it clearly opened the previous version (light blue button). How can that happen if the previous version no longer exists on the web server? Firefox can only be opening the file from its cache, so why is the file still there if I just cleared the cache?

Your not alone!
I had the identical issue with iPhone config Utility on windows 7 64bit.
A virtual macOS on the same machine didn't have a problem, windows iTunes didnt have a problem. Just a glitch with ICU on windows
I tried everything you did and the only thing that fixed it was to change the appID or app name (I forget which I did).
I don't know where that old app data is stored on the machine, but I deleted all apps, uninstalled/reinstalled ICU and it still would populate and install the old ipa.
I also still periodically get weird errors/glitches deploying to iOS on windows.
It's like some days I need to deploy with ICU, sometimes iTunes, sometimes I need to run the VM mac... SOO frustrating.
It always works one way or another, so the app itself is always fine.
I guess I really need to look into that new direct deployment option...

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.

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

Flash Animations (.swf) with RoboHelp for Word

Hello everybody,
Sorry for my english ..... but I need an information. Is it
possible to insert a "Shockwave Flash Object" (.swf) in a RoboHelp
project (For Word) ?
Today, I can just insert movies with the extension (.avi)
Could you help me please ?

I've know RoboHelp have issues finding Word or working with the wrong security settings. What I have not known it do is affect the running of Word when Word is run alone. For that reason, I think your problem is with Word.

Can a Flash 6 SWF (AS 1) read variables of a Captivate 4 SWF (AS 2)?

I have a Captivate 4 CP that I published to Flash Player 9, AS 2.0 SWF ( and Flash Player 7 as well, which didn't help either). I load this SWF in a Flash wrapper SWF (published to Flash Player 6, AS 1.0) which needs to read the rdinfoCurrentFrame and rdinfoFrameCount variables in order to find out if the Captivate movie has completed. The logic works when I test this locally, but not in our test environment, probably because the two (Flash SWF and the Captivate SWF) are in two different directories. My suspicion is that it is due to cross-domain issue which comes into play only with Captivate 4 SWFs, because when I tried replacing the Captivate 4 SWF with a Captivate 2 SWF it worked. I tried displaying the value of rdInfoCurrentFrame in the Flash wrapper using a dynamic text box, and while it shows and updates the value in case of a Captivate 2 SWF, it shows a null value for Captivate 4 SWF. Is this a known issue? I'm playing the content in Flash Player v9.0.45.0.
Also, can someone here tell me what ActionScript version does Captivate 2 publish the SWFs to?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Mohsin

The crossdomain policy is a result of the Flash player - not Captivate. It was implemented with FP 8.0 so if you publish to that then you will have the restrictions. However, the crossdomain policy only applies to different domains - not different directories.
Captivate 4 publishes to AS2 per default.
The problem you have is due to the fundamental changes between CP2 and CP4. While your paths for the variables might work for CP2 they have changed for CP4.
I can't remember exactly what they are right now and I dont have access to my files but try these paths
movie.rdInfoCurrentFrame
mainmov.rdInfoCurrentFrame

Flash 8 SWF loading Flash 6 and 7 SWF with quality issues

I have made a Flash 8 .exe that "loadmovie"s a
Captivate(Flash 6) SWF. The animation screenshots come out blurred
when the SWF is loaded in the Flash 8 .exe. If I create a test
Flash 7 .exe, this does not happen. Any Ideas?
PS - I need to use Flash 8 because of filters and VP6
video.

It's not completely clear what you're saying.
Do you have a wrapper SWF that first dynamically loads the
Flash 6 movie? If so, then is that wrapper in Flash 8 format? If
that's the case, then if someone has only the Flash 6 Player then
it may not be displayed anyway.
If what you're doing is loading the Flash 8 movie into Level
0 of the Flash 6 movie, then this may be causing some of the mess
you're experiencing.
Normally there are two ways to catch a viewer that doesn't
have the Flash 8 Player: 1) a detection script, which usually
works, and is part of many of the HTML templates that are built
into Flash (HTML Settings panel); or 2) Put the Flash 6 movie on a
separate HTML page from the Flash 8 SWF.

How to save a flash with .SWF

Hi, I have the 'Adobe Flash CS3 Professional', and I want to
know if you could tell me how to save a flash with .SWF.
When I want to create a new project, I can chose between nine
types of documents, and I want to make a flash for a website. What
type of document would you chose if you were me ?
I can't write the name of the diferent types of documents,
because I have this programme in Spanish.
Can you help me ?
Thank you

FLA is the native source format - make your movie and then
publish to SWF -
you can not create an SWF initially - SWF is the
exported/published format
of your FLA>

Loading flash 8 SWF in adobe AIR, loses the stage width in flash 8 SWF

Currently i am using a CS3 IDE to compile AIR application.I
am trying to load the flash 8 SWF inside my AIR application.After
loading the SWF, when i try to trace the stage width inside the
flash 8 SWF , it says undefined.Not sure why..
Googling few hours not able to get the solution.
Please help me on this, urgently needed.
Thanks in advance

This is a fairly common question on these forums. Basically,
AS2 and AS3(Flex/AIR) can't communicate directly. You will either
need to use LocalConnection or use ExternalInterface and javascript
to pass info between the 2.

Loading Flash Paper swf causes all other button events to fail

Hi Everyone,
I have created a project with Flash which I am using Zinc to publish as a projector for both Macs and Pcs. Now, in this app I am loading a pdf document converted to a Flash Paper swf. The moment I load this swf file into my project, it appears as though all other button events fail. If I remove the code which loads in the flash paper swf, all buttons function as expected.
Can anyone please help me with a reason / solution for this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers!

Did that and there were no errors shown at any point, such as when publishing the .apk file.
I found a solution. I was under the impression I needed to use touch events for it to work on a tablet, and changing those to normal mouse events solved the problem. Still not sure why it wouldn't work the other way, but for now it works as needed.
Thanks!

Problem loading flash 5 swf in flash 8

The problem is this:
I am trying to load a flash 5 swf movie using the loadMovie
function.
The problem is that it loads on my computer, but it doesn't
on the client's computer! I have Flash Player 8. Could this be a
problem? Could it be that he's having an older version of Flash
player? I asked him and he didn't answer me yet. So I'm also asking
you...
Do you know what the problem might be???
Here's the code...
loadMovie("game.swf", "gameHolder_mc");
right, not that complicated! :) I can't see why it would work
on ONE computer and NOT WORK on ANOTHER.
Please, can someone help me?
Thanks

if that code works for a flash 8 player it will work for a
flash5 player or later. however, there may be other code in the
flash 8 swf that might not work for an older player.
