Help saving .swf files in Flash 8

Okay here is the deal. I downloaded a template for oscommerce
that has a flash header (this flash file is main.swf). I am able to
make the adjustments that are needed in Flash 8 but once I try to
save it as .swf it tells me that I am unable to save it as an older
file. It says that I can try to save as "save as" but everytime I
save as main.swf it tells me the same thing again.
Also is there anything special that needs to be done in my
FTP program to upload flash files correctly?
Thank you for your time guys.
Mike

Here is the code if it helps.

Link .swf files to Flash Player

Hello,
I have recently noticed that my .swf files are not opening with flash player. I installed flash and it does not open .swf by default.
I also tried to open these files with the .dll file that runs the Flash Player but it does not work.
Is there someone that could help me to open by default .swf files with Flash Player?
Thank you,

What operating system are you using?

To Display SWF file or Flash file in Web Page Composer (WPC)

Hi,
I am goning to add & display 'swf file or flash file' in <b>Web Page Composer</b>.
But it is not allowing me to do so.I tried by three ways
1} to upload this file directly from local machine & to add in WPC
2}By using linklist option
3}By creating KM Document iview;which contain swf file.& then adding that iview in wpc.
but at last it is not displaying though allowing to add it in WPC.

Vishal -
First... we are all new to WPC!
Second, no I don't think you need to create a new container. I think that you just need to add the swf type as an allowed type for the container.
So...
Figure out which container you are trying to add the flash file to (as you mentioned, A1, A2, etc).
Navigate to:
Sys Admin --> Sys Config --> Knowledge Mgt --> Content Mgt --> WPC --> Containers.
Edit the container you want to use.
There will be a box named Allowed Mime Types.
In here, select the "swf" mime type (make sure the check box is checked). Then Save.
At my company, we had the WPC ramp up from SP12, and are now on SP13.
I'm not sure what you get if the first time you had WPC is SP13, but for us I see two default A1 (and A2...B1..C4...etc) containers -- one that has "default" in the name and one that has "def" in the name. From what I see, SP13 WPC uses the one with "def" in the name, not "default". So, make sure you modify the one with "def" in the name.
After you make this change, you should see "swf" in the list inside the container when you are editing a page.
Is this clearer? I wish I could attach a screenshot.

Export version 10 SWF file from Flash CC

Hello,
I am trying to work out how to export a version 10 SWF file from Flash CC. Every media agency I am supplying files to requires version 10 but I can only export a Flash Player 10.3 file which creates a version 12 SWF.
Does anyone have any advice other than buying an odler version of Flash....
Thanks for your time.
Keith

you can use flash cs 6. it's part of your cc subscription.
or you can add fp 10 to flash cc. here's a walk-through using fp 9: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5511080#5511080

Help importing a .swf file from Flash CS5.5 to After Effects CS5.5

I am working on animating a person in flash. I have a main timeline and then a timeline inside of a symbol so I can move
the characters facial features (eyebrows and mouth etc) apart from moving his entire body.
I want to have multiple scenes so I am importing all of the .swfs into After Effects and putting them together.
However, when I import the .swf into After Effects, it only plays what occurs in the main timeline
and not the timeline inside of the symbol, so it is just the character moving without the facial movements.
Is there a way to fix this or a better program to import the .swfs into and make the video?
Thanks in advance.

Here's the note from After Effects Help aboutt he limitations to SWF import:
SWF (continuously rasterized) Note: SWF files are imported with an alpha channel. Audio is not retained. Interactive content and scripted animation are not retained. Animation defined by keyframes in the main, top-level movie is retained.
The limitation that you noticed---that only animation in the top-level timeline is retained---is not one that can be worked around without changing how your animation is set up in Flash.

Converting video to swf files in flash for breeze

Hello,
I am using Adobe Premiere Pro 2 and wanted to know what the
best video codec and audio codec to use when I export to create a
video file to insert into flash to convert to a swf file for
breeze? I am having trouble with the audio, must I demux it first
before I put into Flash? Or is there a audio codec that I can use
in Premiere so I don't have to demux the audio?
Also, when I insert a swf file in breeze plug-in for PPT, it
does not play the video or give me the controll by presentation
playbar I checked off. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, could use
some help, thanks.

hi,
if you work with the player component the .flv is not
embedded in the
swf. In Breeze you can only insert a single flash file I
suppose, so the
attached .flv file won't show up.

Cannot import swf files of flash player 8 into director

Since I upgraded to Flash 8 the swf files generated canot be
seen in Macromedia Director unless I am saving them as Flash 7. I
have updated both Flash and Director and the problem is persistent,
please help.

ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE
I suggest there's no need to shout.
Try linking the Director cast member to the external swf file instead of fully importing it. You also should have the 10.1.1 update in place - this is particularly important.

The Path to nowhere - help! swf files not showing in browser

i need help with getting a swf file to show in the browsers. (it previews in dreamweaver)
created a website in dreamweaver cs4. created a simple slideshow in flash 4.
on the index.html page inserted the flash file.
it previews in dreamweaver BUT when i text in browsers it shows as a white box.
have been reading through all the info about paths etc.
can you simplify this entry below from adninjastrator on the adobe forums sept 19 2011???........
"Still looks like a pathing problem to me. For review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

i am not sure why this sounds so foreign to me.....
i understand the page code instructs the browser to find and load the flash file from a path.
i do not understand "/2812gtbros.swf (i.e. start at the root of the site and look for that filename in that location)
i have the html fla and swf file in the folder on my computer named 212GTflashpics (2012freelance/2012gtbrothers/212GTflashpics/2812gtbros.swf) and i have it in the website folder GTbrothers1 with all the images scrpts sprys and html files
the files be in the website folder o
in your previous Question...
"This line -
<param name="movie" value="/2812gtbros.swf" />
is telling the browser to look for the flash file in the root of the website. Is that where it is?"
what is before the / in the value=" /2812gtbros.swf? wouldnt that tell us the path of the file?
thanx

Importing a flash Catalyst .swf file in Flash CS5 ?

Hi,
I found Flash Catalyst by luck while browsing the Adobe website and downloading the Flash CS5 trial...
One simple question....
Can I import a .swf file created in Flash Catalyst into a Flash CS5 .fla as an element ?
I created a scrolling text attached to a custom made scrolling bar in Flash Catalyst, and I would now like to use it in my Flash CS5 project...
Well, I will be waiting for your responses...
Thanks in advance for your help !
Gilbert Gour

Unfortunately you can't import an SWF from Flash Catalyst into Flash CS5. Flash Catalyst uses the Flex Framework for building the its SWF. Flash CS5 does not use the Flex Framework and doesn't know what to do with that kind of file. You can load an SWF from Flash CS5 into your Flash Catalyst project, though.

Making .swf files in Flash Pro CC: What versions of Flash Player could play it?

Hello, all!
I was recently let go from my last job. My former boss wanted me to do ActionScript work on a PowerPC Mac (an iMac G5) with a decade-old version of Flash (Flash MX 2004.) Her reasoning for this was sound: she wanted to distribute some of here English tutoring software to cash-strapped schools, so she wanted me to work with older software and hardware to ensure compatibility. Unfortunately (in this case) the only version of Flash Pro that I can legally acquire is Flash Pro CC, so I was unable to actually get my hands on anything that could run ActionScript 2. This made my productivity at work go slower than desired. Not only was I slow in picking up how to use Flash MX on a Mac (I'm primarily a Windows/Linux person) but she made it quite clear that she wasn't going to have me learning how to do the job on company time. In the end, she decided to scrap the project.
Now, that job is gone, and what's done is done, but I'm still interested in using Flash/ActionScript, and I'm also left with a question that, depending on the answer, may have saved my job if I had asked it just a couple days ago: what's the oldest version of Flash Player that would be able to play .swf files made in the current version of Flash Pro CC?
Thank you all for your time.

with a cc subscription, you can download, install and activate flash pro cs6 which supports as2.
the answer to your last question depends on what features you use of flash pro cc. at a minimum you would be using as3 and need to use a flash player version that supports as3.

Unable to load swf files in flash

Hi,
since creating all the animation in one flash file will
produce a big file i tried to split and create small flash files
and load these files in the main flash movie using the image and
swf loader component.
eg.
main.swf, sub1.swf, sub2.swf.
In the main swf , buttons are created to load sub1.swf and
sub2.swf.
The action script on button 1 is
on (release) {
//Movieclip GotoAndStop Behavior
this.gotoAndStop("sub1");
//End Behavior
where sub1 is frame label. the image loader loads the
sub1.swf file starting from this label. Everything works fine
locally but the swf files are not loading when i test in my server
or remotely.
can anyone please help
thanx in advance

I am also having a problem with action scripts. I upload
everything and still get the error message how can I solve this
problem? It's killing me.
