How do I scale down a swf file with flash without having to manipulate original png images.

I have a swf that is 200x750 and I need to scale it down to 160x600. Is there a way of doing this without rescaling all of my png files? I tried using publish settings, but there was no result. It remained pixelated. I tried scaling it down in flash and it was worse. Is there any quick converter I can use?

Here's a web article that may be useful: http://www.sitepoint.com/steps-faster-flash/
If you are strictly concerned about bitmap images like photos, then Photoshop's Save for Web tool is very useful. You can test your images in various file formats and at various color depths to get the smallest possible file with the best possible quality. If you are working with vector graphics, then use simple shapes and flat color.
If you show us an example of the art that you're working with, someone might be able to give you more specific and useful information.

Opening an .swf file with flash player

Fash CS3 installed) but when I am on another system without Flash

You should be able to use very similar code - buy instead of
pointing to the
swf directly, it's likely you need to point, instead, to the
html file that
is usually published with the swf.
Without seeing the exact code you are talking about with
DemoShield, I'm
reluctant to offer you any alternative. Simply put, a
standard link pointing
to the correct html file should work. You can get clever and
use JavaScript
if you have specific needs, but the standard HTML link should
be fine for
your needs.
Oh - maybe you should look at Captivate's Manu builder, as
perhaps this will
offer what you are looking for.

Creating 'packaged' SWF file with Flash Prof

Hi Experts,
I have a simple requirement, however, I have spent some time trying to find a solution to it and I'm a novice so would be v grateful from input from those more experienced.
Firstly, I've created with Adobe Captivate an SWF file which I have been able to reference in an aspx page and when I view the website, it runs fine (no other file is referenced to run this). Example of the below code in the aspx page I have created:
object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="500" height="400" id="Untitled-1" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="progressive2.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#aaaaaa" />
<embed src="MY_VIDEO.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"
width="500" height="400" name="Untitled-1" align="middle"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
My objective is this. I have a final edited FLV video file. I also have Flash Professional. What I want to do is create a single SWF file (like with the Adobe Captivate example), which will include the video and the skin for the progress bar, volume etc and then reference this in another aspx page for the website.
I want to be able to have the same 'packaged' SWF file, as in the captivate, created from this FLV video. In Flash Proffessional, I've imported the FLV into the 'stage' and added a skin through the wizard. But trying to publish or other options, I've not been able to get this single 'packaged' SWF file to run correctly in the website, via the same apsx code as above.
Am I missing a trick here? I would presume it would be fairly simple as I don't want to edit the video, more I want to embedded it with a skin in the one SWF file. I would be grateful for any pointers.
Many thanks in advance.
Mark

You wrote "I've imported the FLV into the 'stage' and added a skin through the wizard" from this I conclude that you choose the deafult option, that says "load external video with plyback component" (only this one offers you a skin wizard). But when you deploy that swf to a server it still needs the flv source (search Help for FLVplayback), and even the Skin (its an extra swf) must be depoyed to the server. What you instead want to do is option 2: embed FLV in swf. There are some disadvantages to this solution: the longer the video, the more probable it is, Audio and Video will get desynchronized, and: you can`t use Adobes premade skins for the controls

HREF to open Captivate swf file with Flash Player

Hello all,
I am new to the Captivate world as well as the new window
options within html code.
Currently I am using Captivate to re-create and update a
DemoShield CBT and woudl like to call the .swf file the same way
the DemoShiled file is called within the HTML. The DemoSheild file
is called using a javascript function within a href tag.
Is it possible to do the same with Captivate files? Create a
link that will open a new browser window with the .swf being played
by flash player? (similar to simply double clicking the file within
the folder).

Editing Text in SWF file with Flash

Hio All,
I am a flash newbie. I have been asked to edit an existing
site and am coming up goose eggs. What I want to do is edit the
text in a swf movie. The movie opens up fine in flash, I can add
and delete text, but I cannot save the darn thing. Then I went to
the flash help section and the tutorials and they couldn't answer
my question, either. What am I doing wrong?
Advice is greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards - Tami Swartz

How to place a Flash swf file with a movie FLV file embedded in DW

     My hair is getting shorter by the hour or maybe missing. I have created a SWF file with Flash 8 that has an embedded FLV file that was created from a MP4 file.   The SWF file works perfectly in FLASH including my Flash nav buttons, and the movie with soundtrack and the buttons for control of volume and start stop. Now I am ready to place it on the web using DW to make the html page. What happens when I test the page on FireFox or IE is the background loads, the buttons load but do not work properly anymore but worse than that: The slide show and the control buttons do not even show up.
     I am also having trouble defining my site locally. I select new site and tell it where every thing is but no luck. All in the same directory, right now I have a image directory but I have not used them on the page as the only image is a jpg and flv file and they are embedded in the swf file.
     I know this is 2 different programs but the Flash files need to be placed in a HTML file to be uploaded, and I have to text them first.

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.

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

How to Convert standalone .OVF\VMDK file to VHD, without having a VMWare server. We have a .OVF file on USB drive

How do I Convert standalone .OVF\VMDK file to VHD, without having a VMWare server. We have an .OVF file on USB drive. Running Hyper V 2012 SP1 and need to convert this to run on our system. Basically a vender of ours has decided
not to house our servers that they used to support one of our environments. They used VMware and we are a Hyper V shop. Now they are sending it back in an OVF format and telling us to convert it to VHD. Only tool I found was Microsoft converter
tool and you need a VMware server to do that. The exporter tool is another but doesn't actually do any conversion. Can anyone help?
Thanks

If the Java application must be stand-alone you must not deploy it on WebLogic, then WebLogic will manage its lifecycle.
In this case you can use the CommonJ API and use the timermanager if it must run on a certain time. More information
of how to do this can be found here: http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=5569
If you keep the Java application stand-only and want to use a cron job you can follow the example presented here: http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=7065
Note that the example runs a WLST script, but you can follow the same steps to run your Java application.

Link .swf files to Flash Player

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,

FAQ: How do I load an external SWF file into a parent SWF file?

A ton of Flash users visit Adobe’s we site every month wondering about how to load an external SWF file from within another SWF.
Adobe's own TechNote on the subject attempts to answer the basic question, along with some common follow-up questions, including:
How do I load more than one SWF?
How do I load a SWF into a specific location in the display list?
How do I resize the loaded SWF?
How do I set its X and Y location?
Here are some additional resources that elaborate on loading content and on working with the display list:

MovieClip(this.parent).removeChild(this);

How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better?

How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better? Is there an option inside of the dreamweaver menu that I am not looking at. It would make it easier on me if I changed some things around and didn't have to do it all myself each time I used it. Just incase you was needing to remember what swf flash was, It is not a swf video either.

If I understand correctly, Sonic Kaboom.swf needs to be edited in a separate Flash authoring program and then reinserted into your HTML document.
As Murray said, Flash is dead. Nobody uses it anymore.   We use HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript animations which have universal support from Smartphones, Tablets and other web devices that can't support Flash.   Look at Edge Animate.

How can I associat ".swf" files with flashlite 2.1

How can I associate ".swf" files with flashlite 2.1? When I
install flash lite 2.0,it can do ---- click .swf files system can
autoly use flashlite to play.But now I install flashlite 2.1,it
lost this ability return as "unknow files formate".
Now,how can I reassociate ".swf" with flashlite 2.1?
first: I must use flashlite 2.1.
second:I must click .swf file directly.
I know another way to open :open the player and then find the
.swf,and open it. But ,unfortunately,I can not use this way to
open.Now I will be looking for another way.

unfortunately, the 2.1 developer edition you have installed
has not overwritten the original version integrated into the
symbian OS by the manufacturer. This means that the only way to
open the 2.1 files is to open the 2.1 player from your apps menuu,
and click on the swf file. You will only get direct access if the
updated player is in a firmware update for you handset.
