How to embed swf in fla?

can anyone help me how to embed swf to an fla?
thnx!

If the swf has actionscript in it, then you cannot embed it and still have it work (it will lose its code), so you need to load the file dynamically instead.

Problem with embed swf in fla

hallo,
I am trying to embed an SWF into an FLA (My website)
I want to embed an SWF movie on page 4 of my website along with other content.
There are a lot of tutorials on the web, but to be honest, I get so confused, a lof of them have errors so I figured i'd ask here if anyone knows of a good, simple tutorial on how to embed SWF in FLA.
thanks so much.

The mask would be a separate layer that sits above the layer your animation is in. So if you right clicked the layer the animation is in and selected mask, then that's not masking it, it turning it into a mask. What you want to do is create another layer above it and draw a rectangle that would be the same size as the stage of the swf. Then if you right click that layer it and select mask, the rectangle will be the mask for the anoimation--allowing only what is beneath it to be viewed.

How to compile swf from fla files and folders?

Hey,
I have decompiled a swf file and got a fla file and also all kind of folders including action scripts.
How do I run this? I mean if I make some changes how do I convert it back to a swf file?
I created a swf file from one fla file but I got a file that was like 20x less in size then the original. I think it was not using the files in the folders.
Thanks!

open the fla and publish. if that doesn't work, you have errors in your decompile.

How to embed SWF in InDesign and export as PDF?

I am trying to do something that seems very simple, but I can't get it to work. I have a simple SWF animation that I have exported from Flash CS5, and I have placed it into my Indesign CS5 document. I checked these items in the Media panel:
Play on Page Load
Poster: From Current Frame
When I export the PDF, I select PDF/X-4 and choose Interactive Elements: Include Appearance. I get a still image of the animation in the PDF, but it doesn't play. Why?

Hi, I have the same issue??
Even when exporting as an interactive pdf.
My problem is that I am trying to figure out how to export my swf embedded file into an interactive pdf.
I have created an interactive presentation with buttons, effects etc. After which I exported to swf so that all the effects work.
But when placing the swf file back into indesign and exporting again as an interactive pdf it doesn't work at all, all I get is a white screen. (I need a pdf for clients basically, they dont want any swf or flash files.)
Even though after placing the swf file, in the media window I ticked play on page load as well as chose a cover image for the swf file. Still just a white screen when exporting.
To repeat, I need to know how to convert my swf file into an interactive pdf.
Any pointers please would be great I have some swf presentations I need to change into pdf as soon as possible or before tomorrow to be exact before our monthly meeting with clients.
Please help

How to embed swf files on Sandvox websites

Hi All,
Any one here familiar on working with SandVox websites from www.Karelia.com? I just designed a flash player for a new client, and now his having problems trying to embed it. The vidPlayer uses an xml file and plays the required video from the same location as the swf file.
Any help on this, really appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Boxing Boom

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 embed multiple SWF files into TinyMCE editor

Hello,
I am looking for help with Captivate 3. I have a demonstration recording that gives me two swf files, one for the actuall recording, another for the skin. The company I work for uses Helpstream for knowledge base content. The articles I enter need to sometimes have videos embeded. They use a tiny mce editor, and I'm not sure how to embed the two files together. After publishing the recording, I tried to take the object code from the html file, and use that, but that did not work.
Any suggestions on how I can do this? Is there some setting that I need to have before publshing that will combine the skin and recording into one flash file? Currently I use Camtasia, but I would like to create more advanced video content and start using CAptivate full time.
Thanks!
Marianne F

Hi there
Clicking Project > Skin > Borders tab and DE-selecting the Show Borders option will eliminate the skin.SWF from being created.
Cheers... Rick

Create a single .swf or .fla file?

Hello,
I and an experienced graphic designer who does not know how to use Flash but could easily create a flash piece with mouse changes to state from your Catalyst software. I am very, very excited about your product! I would prefer not to have to learn Flash as it seems way too complicated! In the near future, I need to create simple Flash for our Digital Reader. The files that Catalyst created for me when I selected "Publish to SWF" will not work with my digital reader as it needs to be a single .fla or .swf file not a folder of files. Hope this is not a dumb question, but how would I get Catalyst to create a single file for me to upload and play in my digital reader (which is Zmags)? IF that is possible, I will be in heaven. :O)
Thank you!
Kristina

I would like to know that too...very disappointing if that is not possible.
I need to embed SWF files on our intranet etc., and I'm not able to upload folders and assets to a web server.
Are there any software out there that can compile the assets etc. into a single file?

NON-Flash User Wants to Edit and "Recompile" an SWF or FLA file...help??

Hello!! Although I am NOT new to Mac, I have NEVER attempted to edit an SWF file and I'm seeking an EASY way to do so. I think I might be CLOSE but I'm wasting time trying to figure it out so I'm posting here for some help...hopefully!! :-))
I also apologize because I did NOT know where to post this question so KINDLY direct me if I have posted in the wrong place!
Soooo, I have an complete, original .swf flash movie. It is a Holiday greeting but the VERY LAST frame has text that is NOT RELEVANT and I wish to change that text.
It appears that the text I want to change is (I do NOT know the correct term) a "layer" of graphic content for the last frame.
So, I have done TWO THINGS: I have used the Flash Decompiler app to (1) create an .fla file and (2) DECOMPILED the entire .swf extracting ALL the resources/objects that are used to create the original .swf animation. I have NO IDEA what to do with the .fla file...I know it is used to edit the animation but I do not have software to manipulate the file.
BUT, in the decompiled files, I HAVE LOCATED the one resource...a TEXT RESOURCE...that I wish to change. This extracted text resource is named "Dynamic text 293.swf", saved as in .swf format.
Now HERE is where I am STUCK!!...and I THINK this is the direction I would like to go:
1. Open the Dynamic text 293.swf file in a format that allows me to EDIT THE TEXT I wish to change. HOW DO I DO THAT?? Can I convert it to a jpeg, edit the text, and then BACK to an .swf file?? Can I simply CREATE a JPEG and somehow SAVE IT as an .swf file to REPLACE the Dynamic text 293.swf file? Is there an EASIER/DIFFERENT way to edit the text in this Dynamic text 293.swf file?
2. After editing the text in the Dynamic text 293.swf file, HOW DO I "RECOMPILE" the folder of alllll the extracted resources from the original .swf animation, NOW with this NEW/EDITED Dynamic text 293.swf file, and RECREATE the full .swf with the changes I made??
Again, I do NOT have FLASH or MACROMEDIA or any of those apps :-/ I DO have the .fla file conversion AND have isolated the SINGLE extracted resource file (Dynamic text 293.swf) that I want to edit.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP Greatly appreciated!!
Scott

That's a problem, since the format changes between jpg and swf when converted
probably won't just go back to their previous state, less the changed section.
The converter you have, is it a freeware to convert swf to fla; or what does it say
that it can do? In some cases, a flash video can be copied (perhaps illegally)
through use of a software such as Ambrosia's SnapZ ProX and a movie of any-
thing playing on your Mac can be copied. So, a movie could be paused at the
end where the unwanted content exists, so the copy would not have it recorded.
Snapz ProX - Ambrosia Software: (not freeware, has 'free trial' version)
http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/
Otherwise, there are a few shareware and freeware editors for swf content; to
some degree or another they either convert content or allow some editing.
And this may only work as far as the item's creator allowed, if the file is locked.

I'd tried some basic editing of swf files a few years ago, and was able to only
convert the string of images into single-frame jpgs and work on each one,
but could not get them back into an swf. Perhaps graphic converter or other
software could do something for these; but I am inexperienced in all that.
Good luck & happy computing!

How to load swf files within another SWF and still maintain actionscript

Hi I was wondering how to embed an swf file inside another
swf file, If i simply import it to the stage or the library it will
become a symbol but the actionscript interactivity is lost, another
question is can I have an actionscript 2 file play within an
actionscript 3 file?
The actionscript 2 code for embedding is something like this:
don't mind the _mc titles
this.cargame_mc.onRelease = function (){
loadMovie ("Crusty Rusty's.swf", empty_mc)
empty_mc._xscale=60;
empty_mc._yscale=55;
empty_mc._x=210;
empty_mc._y=140;
Please Help its for my uni portfolio, i want to use as2, but
if i do i would lose the 3d possibility of as3, is there any way to
export an as3 file and then embed in as2, using a program or
anything? Thanks!I
I would just like to say thanks in advance because everyone
on here is so helpful!

you can load an as2 file into an as3 file (using the loader
class) and the actionscript will work in both.

Editing an SWF or FLA file

I have both the FLA and SWF files for a website template I
bought. I am trying to edit the file in Flash CS4 using the
following instructions. But I never see any of this code - all I
get are errors and the Movie timeline. How do I get to the code to
modify it? I'm a total novice at Flash but I want to learn.
Flash CS3/CS4 - additional changes
There are some differences between Flash MX 2004 and Adobe
Flash CS3, and therefore you need to make some small changes to the
FLA file if you want to edit the FLA file
To do this you need to open the photographer.fla file, go to
the act layer, and then in the first frame you will see the
following code:
stop();
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "T";
_root.pagen=0
_root.loadVariables("text.html", 0, "POST");
You should replace it with the code below and then save the
changes and export it as an SWf file.
stop();
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "T";
_root.pagen=0
_root.loadVariables("text.html");

That's a problem, since the format changes between jpg and swf when converted
probably won't just go back to their previous state, less the changed section.

How to embed the Piecemaker gallery?

Hi
I don't have any experience in using Flash, but I just found a brilliant Flash freebie on Modularweb called The Piecemaker. I want to include it in my website but I don't have any idea how. I read the documentation and I'm still confused and I still don't understand the instructions.
Here's the instructions:
HOW TO EMBED THE GALLERY?
1. Copy the packages „com“ and „caurina“ from the folder to your classes directory. It works without that,
but only if you always move these packages along with the FLA fle. If you‘re not familiar with working with
classes, check the tutorial at Adobe Livedocs
2. Open the fle „piecemaker.fa“ and try to publish it to check, if the classes are referenced correctly.
3. The actual gallery is nothing more than the empty MovieClip on the „gallery“ layer. It has the base class
„com.modularweb.imageGalleries.Piecemaker“, which holds all the code. To copy the gallery into your own
project, you just need to copy this MovieClip as well as all the elements from the library to your project.
4. Three basic properties of the gallery are assigned on the „actions“ layer. The code from this layer has to be
copied to your project, too. These properties are xmlSource, cssSource and imageSource, which
hold the paths to the XML fle, the CSS fle and the folder containing the images to be loaded. Please note
that if you embed the gallery to your project, these paths need to be relative to the location of your project.
In the folder of the Piecemaker the I downloaded it contains:
1) caurina
2) com
3) documentation
4) images
5) index
6) piecemaker.fla
7) piecemaker
8) piecemakerCSS
9) piecemakerXML
So what do I need in order to make this work in my website?

Yep,you have to look at JSR 75 (File Connection API). But:
1) You need to understand is your phone model supports JSR 75
// if prop==null, then this phone doesn't support JSR-75, otherwise you'll get File Connection API version
String prop=System.getProperty("microedition.io.file.FileConnection.version");2) You need to exactly locate on phone file system where is image gallery and/or memory card
// get image gallery full url
String imageGalleryURL=System.getProperty("fileconn.dir.photos");
String memCardURL=System.getProperty("fileconn.dir.memorycard");After all of that file opening is easy...
