Help on embedding files into flash to be downloaded

I wanted to know if there is a way to embed a pdf file into a flash document to be downloaded by the customer. I want them to be able to click on the thumbnail version of the file to start the download of the high res version of that file. I am making an interactive cd so the files would be stored on the cd itself. I know I could do it by storing the files on the internet but I would like to keep everything local. Thank you so much for your time. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

You can't. The only way you can do that is store the files locally in your case in the CD and use the normal URLRequest method but instead of calling an http://whatever.com URL you call the RELATIVE url to your file for example if your pdf is saved in a folder called "pdfs" and your swf on the root of the CD then you would call URLRequest("pdfs/mypdf.pdf");

Need help converting quicktime movies into Flash files

I need to convert a QT, PhotoJPEG compressed, movie file into a .flv format. I have AE 6.5 Standard and it keeps quitting on exporting a SWV file which would could probably get me by with my client. But, again, it errors out saying something like a JPG is busy, or a file is busy.
I have FlipforMac,a purchased version. But I'm not sure if converting it into a .wmv and then a Flash file is the best route or is even possible.
Any suggestions or ideas of software that I could purchase??

i don't think you have read up on the use of flash video
(FLV). there's nothing you need that you do
not already have (except maybe quicktime pro or some other
video editing program). the FLV exporter
comes FREE with flash 8. You should be able to open your
quicktime movie in QT PRO and export to FLV
format - then use any of the flash playback components for
FLV files - best bet is to read the help
docs on this subject and go to the devnet section of
adobe.com where there are several in-depth
articles about implementing flash video into your site.

A problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash

Hi.
There's a problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash.
If I import a layered PSD file, some part the color of the lower layer is shown at the edge of objects or shadows. Instead, if I crop each layers first and import them, there's no problem.
If the higher layer has brush or transparent effects, it becomes worse.
Any help with this problem?
Thanks.

How was the original art created? Was the original RGB or CMYK? What is the resolution of the Photoshop file? Flash only works well with RGB and 72 pixel per inch resolution. If your original art is not set this way, then Flash will attempt to convert it as it imports it. Flash uses the sRGB color space. You'll get the best color translation if your Photoshop file is using this color preference.

Image problems importing Illustrator 10 file into Flash MX.

Hello,
I'm working on my portfolio and want to import an Illustrator
(version 10) file into Flash (Flash MX). The problem I'm having is
that when I import the Illustrator file into Flash, it comes out
looking blurred. I tried exporting the Illustrator file into
Photoshop and saving it as a JPEG, PNG, and TIFF (in each file
format, changing the image size to 72 dpi) and I still get the same
blurred result. I also tried saving the file for web, in
Illustrator (in JPEG and PNG formats) with no success as well.
The Illustrator file is a small collage of my graphic design
work (where I pasted graphic work done in Illustraor and made
clipping masks to collage them together), so I'm not sure if
bringing these files together maybe causing some technical issue or
is importing Illustrator files into Flash just something that will
always appear blurred. If so, is there a way I can bring the file
into Photoshop and work with it where I can import it without the
blurred appearance?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Matthew,
Here's the Help doc that talks in more depth about Smart Objects:

We have multiple request to add support for externally linked files and certainly see the value. There also are a couple third party solutions that offer linked file behavior (I'm not sure what versions of Ps they work with).

Import dll file into Flash 8

Hi!
Anyone knows if it’s possible to import a dll file into
Flash, or, if flash can connect in some way to a dll file?
Thanks in advance
Paulo

Well object expand is what I did then copy and paste, I am not certain of the reason to crop.
this is what i got when I expanded copied and pasted. so I do not think the crop is necessary it pastes as a symbol and the symbol is clipped which I think is what you want.
But if in this case you want the stroke as well once you select anyone of the countries they have no stroke according t the tool bar proxy and so it you give it a stroke using say a swatch and then expand copy and paste you get both the fill and the stroke if you desire the stroke as well.
In the case of France and Paris once you paste those into Flash after you stroke and expand then you select both the city and the country and make that into a symbol so that they are one.
And I notice from the art you sent all you have to do is select a country expand, copy, paste and then undo the expand and you are good t go do your work.

Need help uploading mp4 file into Muse

Help please!
I have a very nice quality, short animation I want to add to my Muse website's home page, but am stuck on putting the video file into the site. I have found that I need to change the mp4 into a swf (flash) file, but I couldn't get that to work either. (Flash gives me the error: "One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them." when trying to import the mp4 and mov file to convert to swf. I have tried HTML5 also, but can't seem to get the code right.
Can anyone help me get this video file into a Muse site? If that means I just copy a piece of code and put it into Muse that would be great. If it means I just have to drag and drop, that would be even better! (dreaming a little bit!)
Thank you!

Embedding HTML Into Flash?

Let me start with the fact I only know some AS2. AS3 tends to go over my head. So I'm using Flash 8
If I need FlashCS5 to do this, then, PLEASE, let me know.
Here's the situration.
I manage and build a number of sites. Many are parts of a network. The goal is to join them all as one. Both without using php (don't know php), and without having to leave primary page. A Flash Site is the plan. But that is a TON of work to re-create entire sites flash that are already large and established.
So I got to thinking. What if I embed the HTML/CSS sites into Flash itself? That way they can still make their changes and it'll effect both the HTML version as well as it's mirror/portal via the Flash site?
In Short:
I want to embed this page on one frame in Flash:
http://www.uga-international.com/About.html
And place a link to another KeyFrame that has this page/site embeded:
http://www.melholder.com/MAIN.html
How would I go about doing this?
====
Then it got me thinking even more. If this works, would it be possible to load a SWF video player (Webstunning FLV Player) into Flash and run it as if it's part of the Flash site?
I thought the Loader Component would do this for me. But it keeps saying it can't locate the "playList.xml" file. The player has outside files it referances. This eoor prevent the player.swf from playing period.
So how would I go about getting the loader to player external .SWF files that referance external .XML files?
Here are two sample pages using different .SWF files that referance external .XML files:
http://www.melholder.com/index.html
http://www.dovm.org/TEST1a/Test1a.html
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for you help and patience.
But your last statement "copy and paste your frameset encoding" just got me lost.
In Flash, I know how to use the "MyLoader" to load an outside file (but loading HTML pages in it does not work) But it only has these Parameter options:
autoLoad:True
contentPath: "URL goes here
autoScale:True
I also know how to point a button's AS2 to open a URL page.
on (release) {
getURL("URL Link Goes Here",_blank);
Those are the only pointing methods I know.
Now that I think about it. do I change the "_blank" part of the AS2 code to the name of the Iframe instead?

Other problems with loading Captivate files into Flash AS3 project

I have a Captivate file done with Captivate 3, published to
Flash player 9 that is being loaded into Flash AS3. The captivate
is a simple recording of some mouse clicks in a browser. I am
displaying the playbar along the bottom, and its buttons all work
fine except for the progress bar, where you can drag the knob and
scrub back & forth in your presentation.
This progress bar is not working as it should. I see the
mouse cursor change to a hand, but when I click I cannot drag the
knob to control the progress bar. The other buttons in the playbar
do work (replay, pause, play, back, forward).
This is a unique problem in that it is only happening when
viewed in IE (7) when loaded into my Flash AS3 project. When viewed
in Firefox in my project, or as a standalone SWF, or as a SWF
simply embedded onto a plain HTML page, it works just fine.
Does anybody have any insight?
Another thing I notice with loading Captivate files with AS3
is the the amount of output messages it displays. Rather annoying
(unless this is a "feature" I've yet to be aware of - heh)

Hi,
I know exactly how you feel, there is simple answer; replace
Captivate for Camtasia Studio 5 at techsmith.com. The weight on
those shoulders will be gone! You'll smile more, be more
socialable. One Happy Person.
I am very happy person ;)

Importing a layered photohop file into flash [CS3]

Hi there, new to the Forums here and for starters heres a
good challenge for you.
I have a .psd file with a background image and 3 layers above
this. The 3 layers have numberous layer styles and settings applied
to them.
See Image >>
I have tried importing this psd into flash by converting the
top 3 layers into movie clips (and selecting keep layers editable
in the settings) when importing. (Think I found this on a tutorial
from Computer Arts.)
While this does import the layers all the layers styles do
not seem to be displaying correctly as in the photoshop document.
I hope someone can give me a little guidance on this matter
as the resident flash guy in the media centre I work in wasnt able
to help!
The .psd file is below hosted on mediafire if anyone wants to
try it out.

Dynamically importing a .mov file into flash

Hi,
I need to import a .mov file into a flash file and create a
.swf movie. I can do it through File > Import Movies option. But
I want to make it dynamic and import the movie. I would like to use
ActionScripts rather than the File> Import options. Pls let me
know if this is possible. Let me know if you have any questions.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks & Regards,
Magesh

You can only dynamically load at runtime FLV movies.
You can automate the authoring time environment but this is
only with the Authoring tool. See

I am trying to import data characters from a tab delimited file into a table in labview.

I want the item that I am selecting to appear in a text box labeled 'selected step'. After I put all of the selected data in the new table, I want to be able to save that table in another tab delimited file (spreadsheet). This is what I have so far. Any help given will be GREATLY appreciated.

Hi,
Here are modifications to your vi to do what you are describing. It helps, when trying to work through issues like these on this forum to not start a new thread with each iteration of your question. Those of us that are trying to help can follow it better if you just "Reply" to your previous thread with the new, related question. If the question is for a totally new issue then a new thread is best, but when you are working through the details of essentially the same problem it really helps us follow it if you stay in one thread, and that usually means faster answers.
We also like it if, when an answer helps, you give us a rating (the more stars the better) as it is about all we get out of it!
