(How can we) Export FXG from Flash Professional using JSFL

How can we export a selection from Flash Professional as .FXG using JSFL? It appears that this is not possible... just yet! I have added this as a feature request within the Adobe Labs site for Flash Professional. Someone at Adobe suggested that I also explore the forums, so here we are. If you would also like to have this feature added, please let Adobe know by promoting the idea.
Our use case is this: we have a large Flash file with a library of over one thousand skins and assets that were built in Flash with Adobe's Flex Skins Templates. These stateful, graphical skins were used within a custom theme by several Flex 3 projects. Our ultimate goal is to bring these through Catalyst, maintaining their vectors, and use them to create Spark skins.
We've got a JSFL that can export each linked library asset, as well as any frame-labeled 'state' within these clips. However, currently we are using exportPNG, which is not ideal as it flattens our vector art into raster images. We are about to try the exportSWF option, and see what Flash Catalyst does with this. Our early attemps with importing swf's haven't been too amazing.
I'm starting to imagine some cross-product scripting in which we export symbols at a state-by-state level as .swf from Flash, then rebuild these onto layers in Illustrator, and THEN import these into Catalyst...yikes!
Anyone have a better solution?

Follow-up:
Out of pure wishful thinking I decided I would just see what happened if I pretended 'exportFXG' was already a part of JSFL. Based on the signature of 'exportPNG', i tried the following lines:
  var success = fl.getDocumentDOM().exportFXG("file:///C:/mySymbol.fxg"); 
  fl.trace("success:"+success); // output: success:true 
It worked! Fantastic! I'm not sure if exportFXG is considered still in "beta" and therefore intentionally excluded from the docs, or if it was just an oversight. But at least it gives us something to experiment with.

    HOw can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer? My old computer died with my photos on it but I want to move my photo library from my iPad or iPod to the computer I just bought. Thanks for any help you can give.

    Sorry but your iPhoto library is not on an iPad or iPod - you may have photos there (most likely low resolution copies) but not an iPhoto library - dying computers (along with software and human errors) are why you always must have a backup - now is the time to load it

  • How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program or laptop?

    How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program/computer? The songs in question are originals composed by my boyfriend in Garage Band. We have full rights to them, but they import into iTunes like all the other artists songs. His hard drive crashed and I have the only copies. I have no access to my iMac for 2 months while we tour our show and we need them on the tour. We are in dire straights if we can not access these songs and the iPad will not hook up to our equipment. Plus we need to add a track to a promotional video. So how can we access our own music?
    Thanks.

    If they are in the iPad's Music app then the only way to get them out of it is by connecting the iPad to a computer. As they aren't iTunes purchases you won't be able to copy them back to a computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, instead you will need a third-party program on the computer to copy them off - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    How can I export photos from APERTURE with a new sequence and ignore the embedded JPEG number? Have tried renumbering to no avail.
    has anyone resolved this issue?
    This is now the second big Problem with using Apple's Appeture with NO apparent FIX...
    Aperture has NO DIRECT way to Burn to a CD/DVD & apparently NO way to RE-SEQUENCE the numbering system????
    ANYONE... I wish APPLE would address/fix these 2 problems... LIGHTROOM I guess is next?

    Hi David,
    Coming in and whining loudly is rude.  We are all volunteers here, voluntarily sharing our expertise so that users like you can make the most of their time with Aperture.  Speaking just for myself:  although I do care about your success with software (it's why I'm here), I don't care what software you use.  If you want to use Lightroom, do so, and post your questions in an appropriate forum.
    Burning files to a CD is a file operation done at the system level (it is built into OS X).  Aperture lets your create sharable image-format files from your Images.  You then use OS X's tools to burn those files to a CD.  Iirc, you can set up a "Burn Folder" in Finder, into which you can export files created from your Images, and with a single click burn your CD.
    Naming the files you create by exporting your Images can be tricky.  There are _many_ possibilities.  Some things can't be done.  Sequencing can be done in a number of ways (see Léonie's answer above).  What have you tried?  What was the result?  In what way did this differ from what you expected?

  • How can i transfer msgs from iphone 4s using ios6 to iphone 5 using ios7 without removing any thing from iphone5?

    how can i transfer msgs from iphone 4s using ios6 to iphone 5 using ios7 without removing any thing from iphone5?

    Thanks for the response -I thought that may be the case. I can access all the tracks in iTunes as it's part of the iTunes Match library. Is there not a way to download the tracks that are currently on the iPhone to the MacBook? I'm not trying to transfer the purchases but download the content from the cloud.
    Have I explained myself at all well?!

  • How can i export contacts from one apple id to another apple id

    I just got a new phone - all of the data from my old phone didnt get transferred because
    I was using 2 separate apple ids - how can i export the data from the id i am no longer usIng
    to the new id

    Does the old phone have the old apple ID ?
    If it does then sign out of the old iCloud account, Keep your info on your phone, sign in with new apple ID, then merge to cloud. Give it a few minutes. You should see the other contacts appear on your new phone via iCloud.

  • HT204053 I somehow erased all my contacts from my IPHONE, how can i export them from icloud to my phone?

    I somehow erased all my contacts from my iPhone, how can I export my contacts from my icloud account from my PC?

    joephilipose,
    If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
    You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

    Hope this helps,

  • How can I export a document in IDML using VBScript

    How can I export an InDesign document in an IDML format using a VBScript ?
    If my InDesign Server instance is running, is it possible to run this script programatically (without using InDesign panel manually) ?
    Thank you.

    Hi Harbs,
    VBScript enums are a little bit different, and VBScript uses export, not exportFile (and no parentheses or semicolon). At a guess, this one is probably:
    Rem Given a reference to a document "myDoc" and a file myFileObj...
    myDoc.export idExportFormat.idInDesignMarkup, myFileObj
    But you might need to use the raw version of the enum:
    myDoc.export 1768189292, myFileObj
    Thanks,
    Ole

  • How can I combine animation from Flash with a video from Photoshop to make a movie?

    I have a project that's due tomorrow. I had to create a motion tween and animation and record a video to put in it, which I have done both already. My question here is, how can I combine my animation from flash and my video from Photoshop to make it into one movie?

    No, I am saying that this isn't the forum for help with that. This forum is for Firefox user support, and the helpers in this forum aren't versed in development issues like that - we're volunteers, not Mozilla developers and don't work for Mozilla. You are better off asking about that in a forum where other web site developers do support.

  • How can I export photos from my Iphone and show the filming time

    I tried to export my photos from my iphone, but the times of them are created time and modified time, how can they show the filming time?
    How are you trying to view the times of the photos? On a Mac you cannot see the capture date of a photo in the or video in the Finder.  The Finder will always show the date the file was created or modified, and not when the photo has been taken. The capture date, when the iPhone took the photo will be encoded in the EXIF tags of the file, and that is different from the file creation. Photo software will show you the EXIF, the Info panel in iPhoto, or the Info panel in Preview.
