How large is a flash export?

I've built an interactive DVD presentation using Encore 1.5, and I just saw that Encore cs3 will allow you to export to flash. Does anyone know how large a flash file you end up with? My DVD project is about 1 gig, which of course is too large for your average web user. I'd love to export it to flash to put it on a web site. Any ideas?

Just built a 600 MB project into flash (A little more than 1/2 the size of 1 gb) and the finished flash files totaled 46 Meg.
Great feature and I recomend the upgrade.

How large can a flash movie be ?

i am buiilding a larger interactive site than i have before,
that contains a lot of images.
i haven't posted it on the web yet, but in testing the movie
it seems to freeze or go extremely slowly while "exporting flash
movie "
is there a limit to how much you can put in a flash movie,
and what is it ?

Probably the limit of what you can stand! There is a limit of
16000 frames in the timeline, but that probably isn't what you are
running into here.
If you have lots of images and maybe some video, and your swf
is maybe over 1Meg or even 500K then perhaps you are taking the
wrong approach. You should probably look into having external
assets that are cleverly preloaded just when they are needed.
This will cut down on publish time, but will also produce a
better experience for the end user and allow the flash player to
better manage memory usage.
Look into the MovieClipLoader class.

How do i include transitions in Flash export?

when I export my Keynote presentation to Flash, the transitions I selected disappear leaving way to a simple change of screen. I was wondering if there was a way to preserve all transitions and effects in the Flash export.
Thank you for your help!

I am pretty sure its not possible at this stage.
As most ads like Mochi etc are in fact .swf files loaded in from the web, which is not supported on the Iphone. ( as those would be actual 'Flash' files where as the app you are running is compiled to Xcode )
PS: hmm i just realised you were referring to the native Iphone Ads... well I dont know then! but is a really really interesting question! I suppose when Adobe releases a 'non-preview' version of the Packager they might open up some API to it.

How do I make Flash use the original Photoshop file, not a .png one?

Hi, this might be kind of a basic question/problem but I can't seem get Google to help me. Since I've recently started out with Flash, I guess I just missed some newbie thing out, still very greatful for help though, since this'll soon be causing a brain hemorrage...
Ok, here goes:
I'd like to draw key frames in Flash, just simple drawings/skelettons using the pen tool, basically to create the movement itself. After that, I want to export the frames that I drew as images to Photoshop in order to apply texture and colour, and then put them back into Flash again, without tampering with the Flash doc I've already created, since the animation is already done. I want the file(s) that I'm working with to remain the same files throughout the process, from Flash to Photoshop and back to Flash again, like the way InDesign works. Is this even possible?
If this isn't possible at all, I guess the alternative is to draw in Photoshop and then import the drawings into Flash, put them in order and then make any eventual changes after you've created the animation in Flash, this is less smooth though still possible. But here emerges (sort of) the same problem:
When I import images from Photoshop, create animation out of them, and then realize I have to make some changes in the original PS pic file I head back to PS to correct it. But it just doesn't work the way I want it to... If I modify the pic file in PS, then use the "update" alternative in Flash Library, Flash just tells me that the file can't be found, and does not update the image. If I choose the "edit in PS"-alternative from right clicking on a symbol that is in the library, the file opens as a .png file in PS, not as my original file! It seems to me that Flash is creating its own library, not using the existing document. Is there anyway to go around this? How do I make Flash use my PS file which allows me to change it as much as I want (as with InDesign)?
This is driving me crazy, what I'm working on is supposed to be full HD, I can't use a freaking .png file... Gah!
Very many Thanks in advance!
(If anyone has any suggestion for alternative software, that's also very welcome!)

If you start the artwork in Flash, you are starting with a vector drawing. If you export this art as a .png so that you can edit it in Photoshop, you will be translating the artwork to a bitmap image at a specific resolution. When you edit this .png in Photoshop, you can save it, as a .png, and then import that .png into Flash.
After you import the .png, place it on the stage in a new layer. Position the new artwork over the old artwork. Then throw away the original artwork. Now, when you want to edit the artwork, go to the original file in the movie's Library and select Edit with Photoshop. When you save the file in Photoshop, the updated file will appear in the Flash movie.
If you have Illustrator, you can export your original artwork as an Illustrator file. Then you can open this file in Illustrator, edit it, and save it. Then, as above, import the .ai file into Flash and toss out the original. Now you can edit the original file through the Library in your Flash movie.
Alternately, you could start by creating the artwork in either Photoshop or Illustrator. Then import that art into Flash. Now you have a link to the editor for either file in your Library. This may simplify things.
Working with Photoshop and/or .png files will give you a larger finished file than working with Illustrator files. In either case the finished resolution of the Flash movie will be the computer's screen resolution, 72 ppi.

NO Sound in Flash Export?

Just exported a large Project to Flash, but the sound is missing? Same project as DVD File and burned as DVD works fine. Please help.
JJ

I am having a similar project where CS4 Encore builds flash project that is missing sound from the initial intro, but the sound is fine elsewhere in the Flash. On the DVD build, all the sound is fine.
How I made the project: I had a single sequence dynamic linked from Premiere pro. I duplicated the sequence to "Title Sequence", and then trimmed the "Title Sequence" to just the first five minutes which was credits with a song which was audio track copied from a later section of the video that came from a camera (these were the first two chapters). I set the DVD to start with the Title Sequence, then go to the main menu. Play on the main menu goes to third chapter.
* The DVD starts, shows the two chapters with the song just fine, then goes to the menu. The flash app also shows the first two chapters before the menu, but no sound. If I click on play, it jumps to chapter 3 and there is sound, and if I use the chapter back button, I can go back to chapter 1 & 2, and they have sound. However when doing that, the chapter 1 & 2 being viewed is probably part of the original sequence.
I am using Windows XP.
I looked at Audio Hardware Settings for input, and I have no devices to Enable.

How do I make Flash not look like it's not responding?

When I run a JSFL script that is pretty intensive and in depth, Flash opens up but doesn't draw itself, and lists "not responding" in the window title bar.
My question is how can I make Flash look like it's alive (either have output show up in the output window, or have the stage update to the current frame that is navigated to from JSFL script, or put up some dialog box like the export movie progress bar)? The script sometimes takes about 20-40 seconds to run and the user may think that it's actually crashed.
I print out times of all my processes and functions, and eventually I get an output that seems reasonable. I thought printing output might help, but there doesn't seem to be a flush command for it that will force it to be written out.
Thanks.

You can't: the iCloud server won't allow it.

How to save a flash with .SWF

Hi, I have the 'Adobe Flash CS3 Professional', and I want to
know if you could tell me how to save a flash with .SWF.
When I want to create a new project, I can chose between nine
types of documents, and I want to make a flash for a website. What
type of document would you chose if you were me ?
I can't write the name of the diferent types of documents,
because I have this programme in Spanish.
Can you help me ?
Thank you

FLA is the native source format - make your movie and then
publish to SWF -
you can not create an SWF initially - SWF is the
exported/published format
of your FLA>

CS6 flash exports use 1 motion transition for all instances?

I'm using Encore CS6 OSX10.8.4. I have 1 main menu, 1 sub menu, 2 simple motion transitions. One to the sub menu and one back to main. Both only 1 second long created in AE 5.5 rendered as .mov files.
Everything looks good in the preview option. Exported to DVD and everything works fine. Export to flash and it plays only one motion transition in both cases.
I tried replacing the referenced motion video that was not recognized another and the same results. Happens in both FLV and F4V exports.
Any ideas on how to correct this? There are no special characters in my project file asset names. Tried it in chrome and firefox. Redid a new Encore file and same outcome.
I wan to use flash export to keep higher resolution than SD so I can take a screen video of navigating through the menus and use that high res video as part of a portfolio for a potentical job.
Any Help is much appreciated

There are some limitations to flash export, but I don't recall this coming up. No time to test at the moment.

How to put a Flash movie on IWeb pages

I am trying to find out how I can put flash movies on a website designed in IWeb. The .mov files are large and therefore load very slowly (and are also able to be downloaded by anyone with QT Pro I think).
Does anyone know how to put flash videos (and what format they are supposed to be in - that SWV or FLV) on IWeb? I think I have to put a flash player on the page (or site, whatever) as well.
Apple Care can't help me - and when I went for a One-on-One at the Apple Store it was a complete waste of time (I have to drive an hour just to get there).
I have found a few programs on the internet that I can buy to convert my videos to Flash (without having to spend a fortune on Adobe Flash).
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Kim

I know. Look here:

How do I stop Flash assets being transcoded?

Now that there's no DL between Premiere CC and Encore CS6 how do I get Flash assets into Encore without them being retranscoded?
I can get Encore to not transcode DVD and Blu-ray assets that I've created and exported from Premiere, but not Flash ones.
Obviously I don't want to recompress a compressed F4V file.
If there's no way of telling Encore not to transcode it, what's the best format for exporting 1280 x 720 assets from Premiere CC that originated in a 1920x1080i sequence?
Thanks!
Mark

Hi Stan,
I've tried my best to see if I can get Encore not to transcode a flash file, but I think that, since there's no flash preset (unlike the DVD and Blu-ray presets), I just can't fool it.
However, here's my workaround: I output the flash file any old way: using the DVD or Blu-ray assets, whatever. And then in the output directory it creates I can replace its created assets (in the sources folder) with my own simply by renaming and replacing my own encoded assets with the ones Encore created for me. There's a visible quality improvement doing it this way, and no unnecessary re-encoding.
Of course this is all a bit old-hat anyhow as we'll be doing it the HTML5 way with some Edge program or another any minute now! But for the moment....
Thanks for your help and suggestions!
Cheers
Mark

How large is a typical repositry?

I am trying to install Oracle Designer 6i, however, while I install the repositry it chewed up over 3GB space before finish on my server even I select the "small" option! I have to abort it for available disk space.
Here is my question: How large is a typical repositry for Oracle Designer?
Your reply is valuable to my disks arrangement.
Thanks..........John

Just built a 600 MB project into flash (A little more than 1/2 the size of 1 gb) and the finished flash files totaled 46 Meg.

How to both resize AND export to PNG at specific resolution?

I am trying to export a PAIR of vector files as PNG-24's, one at 72 ppi and the second at 150 ppi, Illustrator CC.
I also want both exported files to have a different SIZE that their existing (and of course, completely arbitrary) vector dimensions.
If I use Save for Web in Illustrator CC, I can indeed change the size, BUT I can't specify a resolution!
On the other hand if I try to do a File > Export, I can easily specify the resolution as 150 ppi, BUT I can't change the size!
If I go 'way back to my Illustrator CS4 version, there was a toolbar display of the selected object's (or group's) physical dimensions - see the attached image - but I can't seem to find it in the CC version of Illustrator.
As Retina resolution images have been around for several years, it would be helpful to be able to have complete control over how vector images created in Illustrator could be output at 150 ppi AND with the ability to specify the physical size. And, being able to write an action to export the pair of different resolution images would be even better.
Am I missing the obvious here? For the time being, I am back to my old machine with Illustrator CS4 just to export Retina-friendly images...

This is not the issue - pixels are pixels, you're right. It is a question, rather, of how awkward it is to export the different sized files from Illustrator.
Here's the problem. Supposed I have a vector file that has nominal dimensions of 385px x 91px on the artboard - can't even SEE that info anymore, as I noted. (I'm sure there's a toggle somewhere for that, but I can't seem to find it...)
I want to export this as a PNG at a smaller size, say at 62% = 239px × 57px. OK, just click and it's done, Save for Web, 62%.
Now, I need to export it at twice that physical size for the Retina version. If I didn't write down my first PNG's EXPORTED dimensions, (and I work on a LOT of these files...), when I go back to Save for Web, I have to manually remember to double the first file's EXPORTED dimensions, i.e., 239px × 57px = 124% to get my larger file of 478px × 114px.
On the other hand, if I go to File > Export, Illustrator lets me create larger files, but won't let me change the dimensions of the original file to begin with. It just makes no sense to me. If I could reset the vector's nominal size FIRST, it would be much simpler. One Save for Web, then one Export at Medium Res.

"Last slide viewed" hyperlink in Flash export

Just trying out using Keynote as a change from Microsoft PPT, particularly for the Flash export feature (as well as the lovely design features of course).
I am going to get around the lack of a Play Audio "Action Setting" by having the audio segment on a separate, self-contained slide at the end of a document. On this self-contained slide I have put a "back" button hyperlinked to "Last slide viewed". However upon export to Flash, this function doesn't work, and hangs the entire presentation.
Can anyone confirm if this is a known bug?

I wouldn't call it a bug, more like something Apple just didn't implement. I mean, I have to wonder how hard it would have been to write a flash file that itself (not Keynote) tracks where the viewer is and remembers their last "slide"
Personally, I think the flash export on Keynote should NOT be one of its selling points. If you need a serious flash movie, it's best to just use flash.

Flash Exporter vs Adobe Media Exporter

Can someone explain how After Effects chooses which exporter to use for FLVs?
I have 3 different scenarios and 3 different exporters are showing up in After Effects. I would prefer to use the Flash exporter since that one seems to give us the best results.
In CS2 on my PC when I do export FLV the Flash exporter shows up.
http://www.geniusdv.com/weblog/archives/After%20Effects%20and%20Flash%20settings-thumb.gif
My co-worker just installed CS3 and when he does this option he gets the new Flash Exporter. But he can't use it because it says for him to use the render Queue. When he uses the render Queue the Adobe Media Exporter is used.
http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/premiere/pro/export/images/vCS3_exportsettings-winmedia. gif
We do not like the results that the Adobe Media Exporter gives even when using the same settings. I never liked using in Premiere because I always had bad results and it seemed to crash a lot.
The last scenario is using CS3 on my MAC. When I do export FLV I am able to use the new Flash exporter. When going through the render queue I get the Adobe Media Exporter.
The best option would be the render queue with the Flash Exporter.
Can someone explain why there is not just one option? And why I can't set which one I want to use. We do have the Flash exporter installed on all three machines. Any help would be great!

Thanks for the reply Mylenium. I really don't want to go into the problems I am having with the encoded files. I am really just trying to understand why there are 2 separate exporters. I have done some more digging and apparently the Flash Exporter (FLV) is a quicktime exporter. Which is the one we would prefer to use. We are having errors with this exporter and sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't work.
We are mainly having difference in encode times and quality loss when using the Adobe Media Encoder. We are exporting projects that use screen shots (which is not what AE is for.) I do notice the difference in time when exporting video projects but I have not taken the time to compare the 2 apples to apples.
Like I said I just want to understand why we are getting errors with the FLV exporter by QT.

How do you minimize the export setting screen becuase mine is too big and I cant go on the export option

how do you minimize the export setting screen becuase mine is too big and I cant go on the export option

The export dialog is manipulated in the same way as any window. If you don't have enough screen real estate to grab the edges of the dialog and change it's size, then you may need to work on a larger screen, or at least increase the display resolution of the screen you're on.
