"Flare processes an SWF and extracts all scripts from it. The output is written to a single text file. Only ActionScript is extracted, no text or images.".

How load swf file (flash 8) with adobe captivate 3 without enter the HTML?

How load swf file (flash 8) with adobe captivate 3 without enter the HTML?

Hi SaSQuaCh69247,
Issue 1 :- Select the SWF file in library, right click, and
select update.
Issue 2 :- Actually it could be valid for Issue 1 also. It
seems like SWF file you are trying to import, does some action
like, importing another swf or connecting to server on the first
frame itself. Captivate will try to play the first frame of SWF
when you import them. Try creating a keyframe with the stop action
as the first frame in your SWF, and see if you still have the
issue.
Issue 3 :- The approach I am mentioning over here is
generally the last approach which I will take in such scenerios,
but since you have already experimented a little, so try this.
Go to C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application

Rename captivate_v20.dat as captivate_v20_org.dat.
Restart Captivate Application.

How to use swf file for Spark Skin

Hi all
I have little confuse about how to use swf file with Spark Skin,
in Flex3 , i use Flex Skin Design Extension for Flash to deal with skin ,
so basically , I just create a swf file and import to the project , then everything is ok
but , seem that not working in flex4 , spark skin.
1` I can't find the Flex Skin Design for the FlashCs4
2` I try to use FlashCs3 version to import the skin art to the project , but seemed not working.
3` I Google and check the Flex4 Help , seemed Spak skin need the Skin-Class , which I don't know how to use that with swf file
what I have searched is how to use FXG , or some jpg file in that skin class, none of them are use swf file.
so , is there any way that let user use the swf file to deal with the skin?
is the Flex Skin Design can use in Flex4?
Thanks

Hello,
I'm new to Flex, but have come to it from Flash Pro. I'd like to know the same thing. I think I found the answer here:
http://www.flashallys.com/blog/spark-button-skinning-with-flash-symbols/
However my question is now: Is this a good approach to use?
99% of the googling I've done tells me to skin components with fxg files. I've tried that by creating graphics and exporting from flash, but using swfs containing lots of graphics is much faster so I'd rather use that.
The other thing I've done is to create custom components using these helpful tutorials:
Creating component in flash:
http://www.webkitchen.be/2008/12/12/video-tutorial-make-flex-components-with-flash-cs4/
Dealing with Resizing with method overrides for your flash component:
http://www.psyked.co.uk/flex/creating-flex-components-the-easy-way-for-flash-ide-converts. htm
This allows me the flexibility of Flash Pro design with the layout, transistions, data binding etc from Flex.
So my question is: Is this approach (skinning spark components with swfs, and using custom swc components made in flash) a bad idea for any reason? E.g. does it create slow mobile apps?
Cheers

Some loaded SWFs may not be compatible with Flex. Try making a simpler SWF (like one that just draws a circle where you click) and see if it can be loaded and interacted with.

How to get SWF files to play in Dreamweaver CS5

I designed an interactive memorial page for my company in flash catalyst 5.5. According to the tutorial, it should be simple to insert into a webpage in Dreamweaver. Insert, media, SWF.
When I try to preview it in internet explorer, there is a blank square where the object is supposed to be. I do get an Adobe Shockwave symbol in the center but that is all. My flash player and shockwave are both updated. I can't imagine what could be going on with this. I am fairly new to web development and have no formal training but my boss is growing impatient.
Please HELP!

Wow...more learning here I see. My goal at the moment is to start a root directory. As it stands now, I have only 1 set of files in the DW "sites and servers" (Remote ftp site) I am reading that I need to also have what I think is called a "root" directory where I keep all my images in my PC. I have never done this. I go to DW and add 1 picture at a time, whether in this new slide show or any images I want to insert. I usually go to my off site server, copy the http and insert.
I am reading that I need to create a local file (folder) on my PC that somehow "links" everything. So when I go to insert this image, it then transfers it to the remote server.
I am not even sure what a SWF file is. I think it is a code as you say that somehow has all the image names in it that eventually get inserted. Again, I am still learning.
In another thread in this forum I have been asking questions regarding the public_html issues. I have seemed to have solved that by adding this text into the "Host" file box in the server configuration. Never was there. Now I know why I had to always delete this tag.
I have a folder in my PC that contains the slide show pictures. I have an identical folder in my remote server. So it plays now in both DW preview and the live site. Now my issue is I am unable to add pictures. It is like I have "done" this particulat SWF file and that code wont allow me to "add" to it. Hard to say what the deal is. I can preview these 2 new images in DW and they are in my PC folder and he remote folder, but the live version is short these 2 images now. So my only thought is to make a brand new SWF file and start over adding one picture at a time.
I read your comments about how you do it, but it is still not sinking in. I do not understand this whole file upload thing, or this complete "package" transfer. In DW you start by making a flash media with a name. The you go and add 1 image to it at a time. I cannot see an option in the square box with the "F" logo where you can dump a whole slide show there.
I do not want to seem too dumb, as I try to grasp as best as possible, but if you can explain in specific steps, even if it is a "test" 2+ images slide show, it would help.
I am going to read the help files tonight because my first challange is to get a root folder added to DW. I think this is the utmost importance as I do not have one now. My files are scattered eveywhere in my PC. It is I "pick" images from everywhere to add to the website. Although my remote has all the images I am using (and plenty more i am not)
Hopefully, after 10 years of having this site given to me in DW format, I will start to understand it as time goes on. A gift from a Digipen student who had a task of building a website, which he made for me.

How to play Swf files on the iPad??

Just as the title sated, how to play sef files on the iPad, since the iPad lack of flash support, and I don't find any program to handle with the swf files to playing on my iPad

Depending on what sites you are trying to access, you might find that some of them (probably more so if they are news sites) have their own apps in the App Store which might let you get some of the content that you want (and there is the built-in YouTube app). Also there are browsers such as Skyfire which 'work' on some sites - but judging by the reviews not all sites. If you want to play flash games then you are out of luck if you want to play on-line (unless something like the iSwiffter app work with it), but again some of them have app versions in the store.

How to import swf files into project

I am new to flash programming. I have to make minor
modifications to an swf
file. I decompiled it to the fla file but all of the sprites
which are
themselves swf files did not end up in the fla file. how do I
get these swf
files back into the project so when I make the new swf file
it will be the
same as the original one?

Hi

How to play .swf files ?

I have some .swf files on my WIndows PC that I want to play.
The instructions on a website said to:
". . . play your flash files using the Adobe Standalone Flash
Player. For this you will first need to Download the Windows Flash
Player 9 Projector content debugger from the Adobe Site [Freeware].
There is NO installation needed. Just open the downloaded
.exe and open your .swf from within the Projector.
In order to associate all .swf files to open using the
Projector, right click the .swf file and "Open with" option. Once
there, choose the location of your Projector.exe and you are done."
This worked ONCE. The next time I logged on, the computer
could not play the files.
I'm thinking that this is because the programs referred to
were not running.
So - how do I (i) find the programs on my PC and then (ii)
create shortcuts so I can run them when I want ? I prefer not to
have them automatically load at startup.
Thank you.
Bob

Flash Player is a browser plugin. It's not designed to work as a standalone app for opening FLV or SWF. The standalone player EXE is a different animal.
Folks who don't own Flash Professional aren't going to have a standalone player.
For windows users, the Standalone player installer is in the archived players technote here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
However, it's not an application. It's just an EXE. You have to launch it, then use File> Open to open the local SWF. You can also keep it on your desktop and drag/drop SWF content to it.

How to call swf file within another swf file using xml

hii,
I am facing some problem to call a swf file via xml when this xml file loaded it calls another swf file which includes a new xml file. now if i call this nested swf calling without xml it works but in case case of xml it is not showing the result. i m confused. how to nested xml file calling done in as2/as3. i need some logics. thanks in advance

This is the AS3 forum and your posting involves AS2 code. You should repost in the AS2 forum...
http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/flash_actionscript
Aside from that, your problem might lie in the following lines...
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("sub_container1", 1);
loadMovie(sub_SWFPath[1].attributes.url, "sub_container1");
You create the new movieclip, sub_container1, in the _root, but you do not assign the loadMovie to load into that same movieclip (unless you have a _lockroot = true assigned in your sub-swf). In any case, you should repost in the AS2 forum to pursue resolution.

How to generate swf file automatically on server ?

Hi. I'm new to flash and i've just learnt how to use OSMF to build a flash player. My question is very basic and i hope to put it as clearly as i can:-
Now i can create a flash player from flash builder. But in order to point to a new location for the video, i need to recreate the swf from flash builder. So how would i generate a new swf or change the video address on the server when a user uploads a new video. Of course i can't afford to build the project in flash builder myself every time a video is uploaded !
I think the answer incldes flex, that's why i'm asking here. Thank you.

For what you're using it for, it sounds like you would do better to create one SWF that can have different data fed into it, either by loading external data such as XML, or by using application paramters (flashVars). Use this data to determine the correct location of the video.
However, it is possible to compile server side using the mxmlc and/or compc compiler. For example, I use Apache Ant to compile themes on the server-side, which then get loaded into an app at runtime. IMHO, this method should only be used for compiling "resources," and not used for compiling "information," as your post suggests.

How to get swf file of any mxml file in flex1.5

hi all,
can anybody tell i have one mxml file now when i run this i
file server generate swf file dynemically ....now my requirement is
i need that swf file
so how can i get that swf file from which location i get this
file......
plz tell me aasp
thanks in advance

Rather than letting the server compile the SWF at request
time via the URL, you can pre-compile the SWF using MXMLC. Without
telling you anymore there's information in the docs and an article
on the Flex devnet about using MXMLC.

Captivate 2.0 Very Buggy After Import of SWF File (Flash 8)??

Where should I begin...
Issue 1
I just updated to Cap 2 and started using it. I have come
across a few very weird issues. Everyting works fine until I import
a swf file to the stage. After I import a swf file to the stage I
realize I made a mistake in the swf file. So I updated the swf in
Flash 8 and publish it. I then went into Cap 2 and tried to update
the file (which I noticed that the update button has been removed.)
When I go to import and import the updated file, it does not update
it. I had to close the program and reboot before it would recognize
the new file??? Sounds like a caching issue of some sorts, but very
buggy in my eyes.
Issue 2
So now I have the new file in... great! But when I try to use
one of the drop down menus from the top tool bar, the menu
disappears immeditly after I have clicked on it??? The only way to
get my menu's back is to close the program and reopen it.
Issue 3
I just recently found another problem... I was trying to work
with Cap 2 in its crazy state, and I pulled one of the bars on the
timeline torwards the end of the screen and the timeline
disappeard??? So I went to view and clicked timeline... no change.
Now I do not have a timeline??? I have tried running a reapir and I
even tried several different new projects with different swf files
to see if it was just that file and I have the same results.
Sorry so lengthly on my issues but this just sucks and I need
help!! Anybody got any ideas!??
Thank you!!

How to publish swf file as streaming html on LMS?

Hi Folks
When i try to publish a swf file it creates a html file and
works fine. but when its created in the folder. It creates a skin
file, 2 html files and standard file. When i publish it on LMS to
create a streaming flash file nothing is seen. Is there any other
way to publish. It is not a scrom compliant LMS. If that helps.
Appreciate all the replies
Thanks!

Hi again
I think you are probably still seeing the _skin.swf file
because I don't believe that Captivate deletes the files prior to
creating the new ones. So you should probably clear the folder
before publishing again. Once you do that, you should see only
three files.
Cheers... Rick
