FLVs dropped into existing .fla files?

We are working with a set of old files, first developed in
Flash 4 or 5. They contain text, audio, and embedded QT video, and
they were published as .mov files. We've converted the videos to
.flv files and now we need to link to the .flv files, using
progressive download, and keeping all the text and audio the same.
I've looked at every tutorial everywhere and cannot find one
that shows a combination of video plus text and audio. I can get
the FLVPlayback to work
if I have nothing else in the file, and
if I leave all the frames left from the original audio and
put the video where the original .mov file was.
Otherwise, the movie doesn't play. The path is correct.
Actually, I just tested one where I removed the original .mov
and replaced it with the FLVPlayback, and this one didn't work
either.
This is my 2nd request for help. I hope I've stated the
problem clearly enough that someone will say aha! and give me the
solution. I am highly frustrated.
Thanks.

That's not quite it. The old mov files contained embedded
video files in .mov format. I've converted the original videos from
.mov to .flv files, no problem. Now I basically want to replace the
embedded .mov file in the .fla file with a linked .flv file. What
I'm doing:
1. Open the old .fla file, convert to Flash 8.
2. Select the embedded .mov file (the video), note the
coordinates, and delete it.
3. File->Import Video. Select Progressive download, locate
the .flv file, and get the FLVPlayback component into the same
keyframe and coordinates where the original .mov file was.
4. Check the parameters for the FLVPlayback - path is correct
(same folder as .swf and .fla).
5. Publish - No video plays.
If you can help me with this I will be deeply, deeply
grateful.

Loading .css into my .fla file (non-.AS file)

AS3
My .html file loads, but not my .css file.
I want to add the proper code to load a .css file, which is
for my .html file, directly into my .fla file that has the code for
the text area and scrollbar with the .html file loading
successfully.
How do I load the .css file for the .html file the same way-
the .html file loads correctly, but not the .css file?
****Right now, I get the following errors:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property styleSheet
through a reference with static type fl.controls:TextArea.
myTextField.styleSheet = css;
1120: Access of undefined property pageContent.
myTextField.htmlText = pageContent;
when I try this current AS3 code:
//Load CSS Data
var cssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var cssRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("example.css");
cssLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
cssLoaderComplete);
cssLoader.load(cssRequest);
function cssLoaderComplete(evt:Event):void{
var css:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
css.parseCSS(URLLoader(evt.target).data);
myTextField.styleSheet = css;
myTextField.htmlText = pageContent;
//Load HTML Data
function textLoadComplete(event:Event):void
myTextField.htmlText = textLoader.data;
myTextField.editable = false;
var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var textReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("htmltext.html");
textLoader.load(textReq);
textLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
textLoadComplete);

Okay - thanks.
The really bizarre thing to me is that I got this simple tutorial:
http://www.macloo.com/examples/flash/CSS_in_Flash/css_with_xml.html
I pasted the exact AS onto my stage:
// set up the textfield attributes
myTextField_txt.html = true;
myTextField_txt.wordWrap = true;
myTextField_txt.multiline = true;
myTextField_txt.condenseWhite = true;
// create new style sheet object
var myCSS = new TextField.StyleSheet();
// specify the location of your existing CSS file
var cssURL = "example_2.css";
// load CSS file
myCSS.load(cssURL);
// define onLoad handler
myCSS.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
        /* if the style sheet loaded without error */
        myTextField_txt.styleSheet = myCSS;
        myTextField_txt.text = "CSS file loaded successfully. You may proceed.";
    } else {
        myTextField_txt.text = "CSS file failed to load!";
//load the XML file
myContent = new XML();
myContent.ignoreWhite = true;
myContent.load("story_example.xml");
myContent.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
        myTextField_txt.text = myContent;
    } else {
        myTextField_txt.text += "<br /> XML file failed to load!";
Then I swap out the css file name with what I have - style_dtf.css - and it doesn't error (no output regarding CSS), but it shows ALL the code from the XML file in a big string, with all the tags and everything.
Very weird...
I even pasted the CSS from the example file into the beginning of my CSS file and still same effect.
I do have all my SWFs in a seperate folder, but for now I just duplicated my CSS and XML into both folders.

Merging ActionScript into existing FLA or SWF

Hi Folks,
Are there any tools or tricks to do this? I'm trying to take
existing (arbitrary) FLA file (or SWF) and merge in bunch of
ActionScript code into it so that resulting FLA file (or SWF) ends
up executing my ActionScript when the Flash presentation starts up.
I'm interested in tools that will allow me to do this using
command-line - I don't want to go through manual procedure of
operning up the Flash 8 editor, creating new layers, coping the
code into first frame, etc. I would like all this to be done
automatically through a command-line.
I look into Flex but it seems Flex cannot deal with existing
FLA files and you need to start with a XML definition file. This
doesn't help me as I have bunch of existing FLA and SWF files I
need to work with.
Since it is possible to decompile SWF into FLA, I imagine
there must be a way to hack it (e.g. through binary patch).
Any help would be great. Thanks.

Multiple Smart Objects into existing photoshop file

I need to somehow get bridge to---
Import multiple files into an existing photoshop file (with a predetermined size ) as smart object layers in photoshop.
The options that Bridge currently offers falls short in 2 area
Load Files into Photoshop Layers-- does not import smart objects and creates a new photoshop file that ends up being as large as the largest imported file
Place into Photoshop--only lets you do one at a time
I need "Place into Photoshop" with multiple files
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!!

I don't think it is possible, but to be sure drop this question also in the
PS forum if you already have not done so.

How can i add or create Layers into existing PDF File

How can i create or add new Layers into new or existing PDF file using DLE JAVA API (Datalogics API)

sandyrock,
The PDFL, as Adobe distributes it, only has a C/C++ interface.
The JNI APIs are developed and supported by Datalogics, the company you licensed your copy of the PDFL from. Have you contacted them? Support for their API extensions to the PDFL should be included with your licensing fee and they have many tips and ready-made examples specific to their API extensions they could give you.

How to convert a .swf file into an .fla file?

I am very new to this and need some help. I have been given a couple .swf files and I need to make edits on them. Is it possible to open these or will I need to completely remake them? I have tried in Flash Professional: File> Import> Import to stage. There is no animation or timing. It's just flat.. I also tried from the actual .swf file: File> Create Projector but it was grey'd out and wouldn't let me choose it. Am I missing something?
Thanks!!

That's what I was afraid of! Thanks for the answer

Unable to convert swf files into fla files

Hi,
I tried using Dreamweaver to convert a SWF file into a FLA file so I can edit it in CS 5. But when I right clicked the placeholder for the file, it doesn't have an "Edit in Flash" option. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks very much,
Rosemary

According to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/WSd60f23110762d6b883b18f10cb1fe1af6-7f12a.html# WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7acf
asset is reflected in Flash immediately.
Edit a SWF file from Dreamweaver in Flash
If you have both Flash and Dreamweaver installed, you can select a SWF file in a Dreamweaver document and use Flash to edit it. Flash does not edit the SWF file directly; it edits the source document (FLA file) and re‑exports the SWF file.
In Dreamweaver, open the Property inspector (Window > Properties).
In the Dreamweaver document, do one of the following:
Click the SWF file placeholder to select it; then in the Property inspector click Edit.
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the placeholder for the SWF file, and select Edit With Flash from the context menu.
Dreamweaver switches the focus to Flash, and Flash attempts to locate the Flash authoring file (FLA) for the selected SWF file. If Flash cannot locate the Flash authoring file, you are prompted to locate it."
But I don't see "Edit with Flash" option. Maybe because I have a trial version of Dreamweaver?

1080x 1920 AE Comp to FLA FILE. the xfl can't create FLV files greater then 1920x1080

I need help! My problem is the following:
I need to transform an AE comp into a FLA file (not an SWF). The comp is 1080 by 1920 (vertical) and I tried to use the XFL file but I get a 1080 by 1080 FLA file when I open the XFL in Flash. then maximum supported by XFL 1920x 1080 (the opposite).
a) I tried in AE to export a sequence of PNG to import it into FLASH inside of a movie clip, but I only can do this on the first 100 frames then it crashes all the time.
b) Use different import file types when to import to Flash?
c) Scale the comp in AE to 608x1080 and then scale on a FLA FILE?
No success!
What can I do?
Thanks a lot!

Todd_Kopriva,
Thanks man! It was very
usefull. I got to have to trick it a bit but in the end it works.
Mylenium,
I suppose that it can be done by code, but it works Todd´s way. Thank you very must!
Now, Im kind of worried of what I can lose of quality or noise on the effects, because of the transfer from AE to FLA? It all vectors, so it doesn´t loose nothing, right?
Thanks very must guys. I have the weekend to fix this so Im trying to do it the right way.

CS3 Cropped Ai file won't drop into Id via Br and remain cropped

Using CS3 with Mac OS 10.5. Created a large Ai file and defined and saved several cropped areas to use in Id. Saves fine and shows in Br as cropped but when dropped onto the Id page crop is lost. Any ideas? BTW if dropped into a Word file it stays cropped.... strange that it would work well with a MS program but not the Adobe one ;~). Also tried to just use pathfinder crop tool to create cropped Ai files instead and it wouldn't work well, indiscriminately cropped some things and not others. Any help appreciated.

Make sure show import options is checked in the place dialog

Loading external Swf into a specific area in Fla file

I'm sure this question has been asked a trillion time. But truth be told there's no good tutorial for this out there!
I am trying to load an external swf slide show into my fla file. I want to be able to load into a specific place on the stage.
I have this code for preloader that loads in an external swf, but it covers the entire swf. Is there any way of changing this slightly to allow it to be loaded in one spot?
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("Fuggles Brasserie Restaurant4.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void
var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString() +"%";
function done(e:Event):void
removeChildAt(0);
percent = null;
addChild(l);
Cheers
t

If the loaded object fills the stage, then I have to wonder why you need to locate it anywhere specific. Or is it possible you are just unloading the rest of the visuals when you use that removeChildAt(0) command such that the loaded object is the only thing remaining. In any case, you can assign x and y properties to the Loader ( I do it in the done function, but locating the Loader can be done anytime after it is instantiated)...
function done(e:Event):void
     removeChildAt(0);
     percent = null;
     l.x = someX;
     l.y = someY;
     addChild(l);

How to make a movieclip and import it to another fla file ?

Hi,
I am having one of those 'self doubt sanity' moments.
Entering melt down here !
I want to make a movieclip from a graphic map background, and some existing movieClips that reside in another .fla
In this other .fla file the movieclips are in the wrong layer so by starting over I wish to tidy things up.
How do I create a movie clip from such ?
Then I start thinking, how does one create a movie clip, then bring it into another file ?
I even did a test that went:-
1) create new AS3 file
2) draw a box
3) select box and hit F8 Convert to symbol, select movieclip and name it box_movieclip
4) d/click box and made a classic tween and had box moving across stage.
5) save as and named file MovieClip_Boxtest.fla
6) open new file AS3 and import to library the BoxTween.fla and got a message saying One or more files not imported as problems reading them.
So having done the above stages 1 to 5 which made a movieclip, how do I get that into another fla file ?
having done this before I am panicking that I have lost some brain cells !
Envirographics.

When I want to move a movieclip from one fla to another I just right click it in the library and select copy. Then I go to the library of the other fla, right click the library (off any other symbols) and select paste.

Flash crashes every time I open an fla file

I installed a trial version of Flash CS3. I had a Flash 8
Professional already installed. Every time I tried to open a fla it
crashed, so I uninstalled both versions and reinstalled. I still

new fla files. This is important to my work so I would appreciate
any help.
