Image Reel in Flash

Hi
I have about 300 images to import into Flash and then place
them one after the other to create an image sequence so that when
viewed, looks like a video.
Is there a quick an easy way of doing this other than
creating blank keyframes and inserting the individual images in
each?
Thanks in advance!

If you import 300 individual graphics, you're inevitably
going to wind up with a large SWF file that will take some time to
download and which will be extremely difficult to maintain if some
or all of the photos change.
So if the goal is to have them look like a video, use a
program that excels at that -- a video editor. Even Premiere
Elements (a cheaper consumer version of the pro Elements program)
would suffice to give you a good quality video. You could do image
adjustments, play with timings (vary the speed of playback during
different sequences), etc. much easier than you could with 300
Flash frames or layers.
The key thing to keep in mind is that your last step will be
to convert the video to a Flash video format, FLV. That way, you
can create a lightweight SWF file with the Flash video component,
and reference the external FLV. The SWF would download quickly, and
the FLV will begin to play rather quickly - the whole thing doesn't
have to download because FLV can do progressive streaming.
It's all about choosing the right tool for optimal results.
If you want a video, use a video editor. And Flash video will be an
excellent delivery mechanism for the final product on the web.

SWIM Jobs show failed but all images are in flash

I performed a software distribution on two different 3750 switch stacks using LMS 4.2.3 over a WAN link.
The Job Report shows this:
Copying c3750-ipbaselmk9-tar.122-55.SE4.tar from Software Repository to tftp-specific directory.
Copied successfully to C:/CSCOpx/tftpboot/rep_sw_3381422663941666305

Error loading image to Flash. See C:\CSCOpx\files\rme\jobs\swim\5373\3750Stack_telnet.log for the output from the device on which the image transfer failed.
Image Copy Operation Failed
Device is unlocked.
Device Upgrade Result : Failed
However, when I look at the flash on both stacks, the IOS image with the correct filesize, folders, etc. all looks right. The show boot shows it will boot to the correct image. The telnet.log file shows all the files being copied and just ends after the last file (the .bin image).
Does anyone know why this might report as failed even though the files are in flash?
I have not yet reloaded either switch as they are in production.
Thanks.

OK I reloaded one of the stacks and it came up fine.
Could this error be due to the fact that the upgrade was done over a WAN link and I did not put exec-timeout 0 0 on the line vty?

Image files in flash and fullsceen

hi @all ..
i'm sperimenting with a function to turn my flash site to fullscreen and i know that the best way to design such a site is to draw everything in flash using vector graphics ..
BUT
i have a site (wedding photographer) with lot of pictures and my logo and they are all jpg - png files ..
obviously when i toggle to fullscreen every image that is not a vector graphic is "zoomed" and you can see the actual pixels in the image and on the cornes ..
i wondered if there is a possibility to insert in the flash file the big images (like photos in full resolution of the monitor) that will be resized to small images when the site is not on fullscreen and that are displayed in their full size when in fullscreen ..
now if i put only the big images in my flash file and resize them in the flash they get unsharp because they are bigger than they are displayed (lets say they are 1280x1024 and in the flash they are displayed in 1024x768 --> they are unsharp and you see pixels.. same thing if you have 1024x768 images that are displayed in 1280x1024)
is it possible to have both resolution of the images and that they swap from one to other according to resolution of the flash file?
i think it's not possible but if it is it would be apreciated

Yeah, this forum is entirely appropriate for your question.
The problem is an old one with Flash. The reason you see the
'ghosted'
background in the alpha channel of your PNG is that you have
your colour
depth set to 16 bits. If you crank it up to 32 bits, the
anomaly will
disappear. Unfortunately there's not a great deal you can do
about it,
except to break apart the image and actually delete the parts
you don;t want
to be visible.

Display an image instead of Flash?

I'm a little green when when it comes to this stuff.
I have a site that has a couple of Flash elements that show
fine. Due to the network security on my work computer, it means
they don't show when viewed from there.
Is there a way to display an image if the Flash element
cannot be displayed?
Thanks in advance of any help.

Have you tested it with IE online or only locally? Locally IE will usually prohibit displaying Flash content.

Showing image instead of flash for mobiles?

I am just wondering if it is possible to show an image instead of flash content for mobiles?
I want to allow the adobe sniffer to do its thing when it is people using pc and mac browsers and direct them to the plug in page to download the flash player if they need it, but is there a way to sniff for a mobile / smart phone browser and if they cant view flash it will show an image instead?
Any help appreciated.

You can use Javascript to detect the browser and platform for any given user. You can then parse that information to push the content that you want to use for the result. You can find a good write-up with example code here: http://www.quirksmode.org/js/detect.html

Maximum Image file size flash can handle?

Does anyone knows the max image file size flash can load
using MovieClipLoader?
I tried 10.5 MB PNG file and Flash thinks it is loaded but,
the actual image never shows up.
Thanks,

Well it is good for that client. But it still won't work in
Flash. Sorry. You will need to slice the picture into different
chunks at 2880 x 2880 max and reassemble the tiles in Flash.
You may also run into an issue that things sometimes get lost
if there is more that 16,000 (or thereabouts) pixels difference in
their coordinates.

Why do images brought into flash from a psd appear differently when publish

I am creating a flash banner using a layered psd. The account team is happy with the look of the psd. BUT, when I bring the images into flash and publish the file, the colors look different. I import them into flash at the highest quality yet they don't look the same. Any advice?

The answer relates to color spaces (profiles) and color management in Flash.
In the other creative suite applications you work with a color space to define the colors your using—i.e., if you have #ff0000 full red this will be a different color in sRGB (an RGB color space) than Adobe 1998 (a different RGB color space). You need to have a color space (profile) to make sense of the color values.
Flash doesn't honor profiles currently, which means it ignores these profiles. By default in Flash Player 10, and the only option in all players before 10, it gives these color numbers to the operating system without a color space, so the operating system is in charge of making sense of these numbers. In Windows it will assume these numbers are in the sRGB color space, on Mac it will assume that these numbers are in the monitor's color space (on my macbook this is Color LCD, which I believe is the color space for all macbooks by default).
The way to get the colors to look the best in Flash is to make sure that the document is sRGB before you bring it into Flash. In Photoshop you can convert the colors into the sRGB color space, which will change these color values into the sRGB color space, by going to Edit -> Convert to Profile, and find sRGB in the RGB dropdown. Another way to do it if you are saving just a flat image is to use File -> Save For Web & Devices and check the Convert to sRGB checkbox on the right. Now when you bring the image in to Flash and publish it it should look right on Windows, and probably better on Mac.
Flash Player 10 adds a feature where you can say that all the images are in the sRGB color space and it will hand the color values to the operating system as sRGB numbers. This makes it work better on Mac, if the swf file is viewed in an environment that honors profiles (Mac and Windows honor profiles but most browsers still ignore profiles, but that's getting better). You can turn this feature on by putting this code into your Flash file: stage.colorCorrection = ColorCorrection.ON;. Read more on that at this link: http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2008/10/get_better_color_through_fp10.html. I also gave a presentation on color management and blogged about it, which you can read about and watch here: http://blog.elliselkins.com/2009/02/flying-through-color-space-uflash.html.
Feel free to ask me anything. Hope this helps.

Give #navbar a width that is wide enough to hold all of the buttons within it.
#navbar {

Replace #### with a pixel number large enough to hold the nav buttons.

I just really need to know... After desigining my UX, how do I go about adding the image into ADOBE FLASH BUILDER to script on top of it?

Any and all advice is welcome.

Do you have different versions of the graphic novel pages, or is there just one version of the page? If there is one version, can you crop into the page without losing anything important?
I would guess that there is one version, and that cropping into the page will lose something important. If that's the case, here's how I would handle it:
Make a stage that is 14:9. The size doesn't matter, but 1400x900 could be a good starting point.
Put down a background texture that fits well with the look of the other images. Make that fill the 1400x900 stage.
Place your page graphics so that they are within the center 1200x788 area of the stage.
Set the stage scalemode to "noBorder".
You now have a layout that will work on all devices, as narrow as iPad, and as wide as iPhone 5. All without any code. On the widest devices you'll see a bit of your background pattern to the left and right of the page graphic. On the narrowest devices you'll see a bit of background pattern above and below the page graphic. But you won't lose sight of anything important.

Why can't LR import dialog see images on my flash drive or drive drive.

Everything was working great and now LR (version 5.6/camera raw 8.6) import dialog cannot see images on my flash drive or on my hard drive. I'm using a MacBook Pro Retina running on OS X 10.10 There are no issues using the same flash card on my wife's MBP with LR for imports (uses the same LR S/W version and runs on OS X 10.10 as my MBP). Also, iPhoto and Preview can read and import the Flashcard images just fine. I'm puzzled. Does anyone have a solution?

Thank you i found disk utilities... however i was reading in another area of the community that if I reformat it on my mac that it wont work on a pc.... The whole reason for doing this is so i can give my rough editted footage to my buddy so he can combine all the footage from our unit and make one big video, and he has a pc. Also if reformatting is the cure to this problem how do i know what to reformat it to. It doesnt tell me partition sizes for each option.

MDT Image Deployment Using Flash Drive

Hi,
In my environment i am using MDT 2010 image deployment process to deploy Windows XP and Windows 7 OS images,
As image deployment is foccussed on multiple remote locations we have planned to move with USB Flash drive (Pen Drive) for image deployment,
The problem occurs here in normal system through diskpart utility i can able to get all the disks including my flash drive but in win pe mode i am unable to get my flash drive listed in diskpart utility.
so the image deployment process hangs on to the microsoft solution accelerator screen i am unable to predict the actual reason but i can predict this can happen because of mass storage driver problems.
I tried the same using USB Hard Disk and succeded with the deployment and i am unable to guess what makes difference between USB Hard disk and USB Flash Drive.
Can you just help me out on this to close the problem ASAP..
So that i can proceed with my roll out activities.
Thanks in advance,
Siva

Hi,
At last the image deployment using flash drive works for me.
I attempted the following steps,
First i converted the flsh drive to bootable flash drive using diskpart utility,This can be done in Windows 7 Operating system only.
navigate to cmd and type Diskpart,and enter the below commands,
List disk
Select Disk no
create partition primary
select partition no
active
format fs=ntfs
Assign
Exit
Upon completition,Insert windows 7 DVD to the system and do the following
Navigate to DVD Drive in my case it is G: and change directory to boot
G:cd boot
G:\Boot>Bootsect.exe /nt60 I: where I: is my flash drive
Then copy the contents to the Usb flash drive and change the first boot device of the target system to local hard disk and deploy the image
while in Win pe mode use disk part utility to check whether your disk got detected.
If everything is ok then it will work.
Thanks for your valuable time.
Thanks and Regards,
Siva

Background image blew my flash file

Hi Guys,
hope someone could help me this time, i just have this question about my background image blowing up the size of my swf file. i have a 1000x600 canvas which has the same bg image, and when i publish it, my swf file has a size of 468kb, but when i remove the background image the file was reduced to 57kb.. the image was a png-24 326kb image, and its not the file in my flash that has this file size. just wondering wut happened that it gives that huge adjustment to the file?

Recommendations:
1) I believe the setInterval activity is what ends up breaking things. Get rid of all the setInterval and clearInterval elements. Just use setTimeout instead, which you won't have to worry about clearing.
2) The file performance is likely suffering due to the size of the images versus the portions of them that actually get used. Create/crop the images outside of Flash to the size they will be in the Flash file, optimize them, and then import them. Also, if you combine all the elements that you animate at once together into one symbol (the text, background, and button), and animate that symbol instead of the different pieces separately, things will probably animate more smoothly as well.

Converting bitmap image sequences to Flash

Hello,
I use LightWave 3D to create a set of characters that are
simple talking heads. Composited in Mirage and edited in VT4, it's
all bitmap images. You can see a sample here:
Subversive
Entertainment
That version was intended for TV but isn't going to sell. I'd
like to try it as an animated editorial cartoon embedded in a Flash
player at online newspapers. But when I compress the video it
doesn't convert as cleanly as I know a direct Flash file would. I'd
like to import the image sequences into Flash and converting them
to symbols(?) or movie clips(?) or(?)...
What would be the best way to handle the image sequences in
Flash? They are currently 180 frames long for each character, but I
could reduce the image sequence to as little as 60 frames. Once the
image sequence is converted to a set of symbols(?) they would be
re-used over and over.
I imported a 180 frame image sequence and it put one image on
each frame in the Flash timeline. How would I convert that entire
image seqence to a sequence of symbols(?) that I could re-use. When
I exported it as a movie it made a .swf file that looks great but I
don't think that's what I want to work with within Flash. (I'll
create a differnt background in FLash as well.)
Whew,
Hope this made sense.
TW

after importing, select the entire range of keyframes
containing your image sequence. Right-click
over them and select COPY FRAMES.
Open Library and create a new symbol.
PASTE FRAMES into frame 1 of this new symbol.
On main timeline create a new layer (delete original layer)
and drg instance of your new symbol to
it. Now you have a nested animation that can be reused.

How do i burn an ISO image to a flash drive?

I tried to use disk utility and dragged my ISO file into the source box and then my flash drive into the destination box. When i clicked restored and entered in my password i got a dialog box saying "Restore failure, Could not validate source - Invalid arguement". If someone could help me that would be great. I was trying to burn Windows 7 so that way I could install it in bootcamp because I need Windows for school.

Launch Disk Utility and select File: New: Disk Image From Folder. In the window that appears, navigate to the desired folder and then click on Image. Give the image file a name, and click on Save when prompted. That’s it.
