Import 3D objects from PS cs4 to Flash Cs4?

I know it's a noob question but can anyone tell me how to
import a 3D object from Photoshop into Flash Cs4? Thanx in
advanced!!

Unfortunately, the 3D in Flash CS4 isn't quite the same kind
of 3D in Photoshop. Photoshop Extended can create animated
sequences as well as texturing 3D objects. As one possible work
around, you can export your 3D object as a rotating animation from
Photoshop (preferably as a sequence of images), and then import and
display that in Flash or manipulate it with Actionscript to add
interactivity.
If your original 3D input is a COLLADA file, you could import
it to Flash directly using a
Papervision3D
component, rather than going through Photoshop.
Photoshop can import COLLADA files as well, but it can't
export
them, so if you're relying on Photoshop heavily, you'll want to
use the first method that I listed above.

Problem removing Objects from the stage in Flash CS4 (AS3.0)

I have a problem with this code:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, vanish);
function vanish(event:Event):void{
     if(character_mc.hitTestObject(vanish_mc)){
          vanish_mc.parent.removeChild(vanish_mc);
There are two overlapping objects on my stage: character_mc and vanish_mc.
As soon as i start the scene[Ctrl+Enter] vanish_mc is VISUALLY removed. But the code still sees a collision somehow. How can i Entirely remove the object vanish_mc?
Thank you for help and advice.

Ah I think the problem is what my problem not which I proposed, my bad I was trying to keep it simple.
the remove code in my problem actually looks like this:
if(character_mc.hitTestObject(this["dollar_mc_"+String(i)])){
     removeChild(this["dollar_mc_"+String(i)]);
I wanted it to be that way so I could add infinite "dollar_mc_" ' s without writing myself to death with code and or getting confused.
Imagine it like a game where a character it picking up dollars, which would disappear once they intersect.
And that exactly is what gives me that argument.
Do you know a way i could write this code, or do you suggest to leave it that way...because it does run and work im just getting this argument while debugging.
Thank you for all the help~

Problem in importing scenario objects from Development to Production in XI

Dear Gurus,
I have a certain probelm happening as follows:-
We have a 3 Sytem Landscape as follows :-
Client 400-Development ,
Client 500- Quality
Client 700 - Production
When he scenario (.tpz) files of directory and integration server are transported from 200 - 500 , (ie .tpz files are transferred from the export folder of directory and repository server to import folder of directory and repository server via FTP) the scenario is visible in the namespace in 500 .
The same when followed in 700 , after importing the objects from the import options under tools in repository as well as directory , the objects are not imported under the specified namespace in it's SWCV.
Please suggest what could be done !!!!
PS: We have deployed XI 3.5.

Hi Ashish,
I hope you have done ftp from 500 to 700 instead of 400 to 700. If yes then I dont think you should run into any of these issues. Also when it is done are the objects available in import and export folders of client 700 which is your production. If yes then try to import them in production. Also make sure you dont have anything in your change list. If you have something under the change list then you may run into some issues. Also look at this blog for the folder loactions:

Not precise vector copy&paste from Illus cs4 to flash cs4

Hi,
does somebody knows if there is a solution to that or does somebody have an explanation to this ...
I have a really complex shape made in Illustrator cs4 that I need to import in flash cs4. When I import my shape in flash , my shape doesn't keep the exactly, precisely same shape. I try to reduce the amount of point with illustrator with Object->path->simplify ... It's help but not enough. My shape is to complex to re-draw one by one every single points as the original.
I did some test as in Flash cs3 and this problem dosen't exist. In cs4 you can test it do a circle , the smallest you can and zoom , you will see that the circle is not a circle anymore. (cs3 does't do it)
Help

You can copy/paste from Illy to ID by selecting the text with the type tool in Illy and then pasting it into ID. You will not be able to maintain the formatting. If you want to maintain the appearance the text will be converted to outlines.
If you need to get anything other than very simple objects from Illy to ID then you should save as AI and use the file > place command to place those objects as linked graphics into ID.
Your closing statement is irrelevant. Whether you like it or not, this is the way it is.

Unable to export from Captivate 4 to Flash CS4

Hello everyone!
I am attempting to export a captivate project over to flash CS4. However when it goes from captivate over to flash the result is basically a slide show. It does not show any of the animations that are present in Captivate. I also keep recieving an error message.
I have searched for how to solve this problem for quite a while now and so far have come up with nothing.
This is the error message that flash gives me:
The following elements in your project have not been converted. They are not supported by this importer.
508 Compliance
A swf animation slide has been imported. The following files must be made available at publish time:
Project01_slide_22_0.swf
DefaultPreloader.swf
Please make sure you publish the project to “C:\Documents and Settings\jmillard\Desktop.” Saving the project to this directory will ensure that test project will work with the swf animation slides.
Unfortunately I am on a tight schedule to get this project done and the Captivate 4 and Flash CS4 I am using are both 30 day trials, so I am in quite a hurry.
If you could please help me I'd greately appreciate it!

When you click on <Send Book to Blurb> a dialog should come up that asks for your ID and password for your Blurb account. I don't know if Blurb ships to Norway - you probably can find out at the Blurb website. But I don't think that this is the problem here since you also cannot export a PDF or JPGs.
I don't know of any specifics why this is not possible for you but it's worth trying to replace the Preference File.
This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File.
BTW: Re-installing Lr or updating / upgrading Lr does not replace the Preference File since it is designed to "survive" upgrades.

How do I import SWC files created with Flex info Flash CS4?

I've created very nice UI component using Flex 3 and I have exported it into a SWC file.
How can I import it into Flash CS4 to use it there?

Hmm... if you happen to be familiar with C#, then you may probably know about the problem of P/Invoke (this is a command that lets you access Windows API through C# code, which will apparently prevent it from functioning on other OSs).
What happens with Flex framework is somewhat similar to this. I.e. it relies to much on the features of Flex compiler and the components of the framework create a lot of cross-dependencies, which makes them barely usable outside the framework.
So, if you have time and doing this just as a matter of learning, I'd suggest you start an AS project in Flex builder and advance with it compiling it both with Flex and Flash to see if there are any differences (basically, once you see it doesn't compile / doesn't behave as you'd expect in Flash, you'll know you used something that is specific to Flex). These would be mostly meta tags, like [Bindable] for example.
And, if you need any tutorials on how to code in pure AS, then, well, there are really to many So that you can even choose what's appropriate / goes better with your learning habits.
If you like video lessons, there're tons of them at gotoandlearn.com, if you prefer reading documentation, here you go: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/class-summary.html
if you prefer forums / written tuts, then, kirupa.com, actionscript.org, flashkit.com as well as Adobe forums will provide you with a lot of information.

Imported Smart Objects from Photoshop to After Effects

When I import an Illustrator file into After Effects, I have the option to use Continous Rasterize on that layer. However, when I paste that AI file into PS, as a Smart Object, and then import that layer as footage into AE, I do not have the option to turn on Continous Rasterize in AE. It's a Smart Object that links back to the original AI file. Shouldn't I have Continous Rasterize available to me? Do I need to set my project settings differently in PS?

Shouldn't I have Continous Rasterize available to me?
No. A layer is just a layer is just a layer. That's all AE sees from the PSD file - the rasterized layer preview. It doesn't know or care where the file originated. If you must use AI content with CR, then import it natively. Whatever you do in PS with your SO wouldn't come over to AE, anyway, once you clicked the layer switch. Read up on AE's rendering order in the help.

Import live objects from Illustrator to InDesign

Hi, I want to import objecs from Illustrator to InDesign. However, I need live objects (including e.g. texts, styles, swatches). Currently, I know only two possibilities:
1. copy in AI and paste in ID. This will copy the objects but e.g. text is broken into curves, no styles are copied.
2. place AI document. This way I cannot modify the document in ID (I have to go back to AI), I also cannot use the text styles from the original document for other texts created directly in ID
Is there any other possibility? In reality I don't need to do the import via GUI. If I can make a plugin or script for this it would be enough. I have experience with creating plugins for AI but ID is very different internally. I have studied the SDK but I still did not find any possibility how to import the data.
can anybody help me? thanks.

Using LabVIEW to control an object in Blender/ importing an object from Blender and controlling it in LabVIEW

Hi,
I'm just trying to start a new aspect to my project whereby I would control a 3D graphic of a human character using inertial and magnetic sensors.
2 potential options I am considering are to create the character in blender, import it to labview (.stl, .dae or any other suggestions?) and control it from there using my 3D orientation algorithms. Has anybody done anything like this?
OR
Export the 3D orientation data to blender perhaps using UDP sockets or any other suggested technique anybody has(?) and then control the orientation of the bones of a 'rigged' character.
So basically if anybody has any experience of controlling a 3D graphic with LabVIEW data all help would be appreciated, better again if it was using Blender! Thanks in advance

Looks like an interesting project. I don't have experience with either of your suggestions, but I think the second one is more practical. My understanding is that the 3D display in LV isn't that great (although I don't have actual experience with it). The only modification I would make is to use TCP instead of UDP, which seems to make a lot more sense.
I'm assuming there should be quite a few examples online for how to write Python code in Blender to receive external commands and translate them to something in your blender scene (movement, in your case) and then you simply have to write the corresponding code on the LV side and make sure the protocols match. I would suggest you create a simple ASCII protocol. One thing to note about TCP protocols is that it's useful to have the beginning of the message encode the length of the rest of the message (let's say the first 4 bytes to encode a U32 number). That way, you read N bytes for the length and then know exactly how many bytes you have to read for the rest of the message.

Colour differences in Photoshop CS4 and Flash CS4 - help!

Hi,
I've been having problems for a while now when working with Photoshop and Flash, so now I will try to find an answer to my problem.
The thing is, when I try to take designs from Photoshop to Flash, the colours are changing/looking wrong. See my attached screenshot below.
The document in the upper part of the screenshot, is the Photoshop document. There is a blue gradient in the image and the left color of the gradient is RGB: 0/90/132 and the right color is RGB: 0/131/191.
The document in the lower part of the screenshot, is the Flash document. Here I have used exactly the same RGB colours to achieve the same blue gradient background. But as you can see on my screen, the colours look totally different. The colours in the Photoshop document looks clearer/darker.
How can I solve this problem and get the colours to look the same in Photoshop and Flash, and why do I even have this problem?
Kindly asking for help,
/Erik

No one told me to use Monitor profile, I think it was default. I have
no knowledge about calibration of a monitor, but since it's a nice
Apple monitor i figured I wouldn't need to calibrate it.
When I open the file in Photoshop, Photoshop asks me whether to use
the embedded profile (sRGB in this case) or the working space profile.
And since I always use the emedded profile, I didn't think that it
would make any difference? The problem is still that I don't know any
way to set color handling in Flash, and the colors look all different
from Photoshop. What should I do?

Flash CS4 import shape from Photoshop CS4

Hello,
I'm using flash CS4 on a Mac.
Does any one know how to properly import shape objects from photoshop to flash. The problem is when I import shape objects from photoshop it turns the shape into a bitmap masked out by the photoshop mask. This forces me to then manually go and recreate the shape object in flash.
I have tried many settings but to no avail. Any help, suggestions, or even tell me they have fixed the issue in CS5 or CS5.5.
Thank You, Jacob

Have you updated Flash to 10.0.2?
Is the Illustrator file very large/insense number of vectors involved? (ie: if you watch Activity Monitor, does the memory usage grow until things disappear?)
How large/intensive is the FLA you're working on?

hi,
i have taken full export by EXPDP( data pump) now i want to import user objects from target user of one database to another user of different database.
plz reply me solution
Thanks

Hi,
impdp 'user/user@db' DIRECTORY=DATA_PUMP_DIR(DEFAULT) DUMPFILE=FILENAME.dmp LOGFILE=IMPORT.LOG REMAP_SCHEMA=SOURCE SCHEMA:TArget SCHEMA
1.Before Import check whether user importing has read,write on directory.
2.Always Try to Add logfile clause This will help.
3.Add TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=REPLACE if you want target schema tables to be replaced by source schema table(if both has same table)

Importing Objects from SAP

Hi All,
I'm trying to import RFC objects from SAP Server. However upon trying to import the objects the SAP System is tied to ECD system. The object I'm trying to import is located at PID. How do I change the SAP System so that I can import the object from PID?
Thanks
John

Did you check the note shared by Mark? Just double click on the software component version.
Actions in the PI ESR
Call transaction sxmb_ifr and logon to the ESR.
Open the Software Component Version (SWCV) that you wish to import the IDoc/RFC into
Enter the connection details of the SAP R/3 backend system (SID, Client and Server name)
Go to the Imported Objects subnode for this SWCV and right click
Select Import of SAP Objects
Enter the Logon details of the SAP backend R/3 system
Expand the IDoc/RFC node and select the IDoc/RFC you wish to import (you can also use the search function)

Captivate 4 not exporting to Flash CS4 correctly

When I export from Captivate 4 to Flash CS4 it doesn't place the imported objects on their own timeline. Instead, it places each object into a movie symbol, which has its own timeline. The problem is that when I save it as a .swf in Flash and then I open it in After Effects none of the highlight boxes are visible.
As you know, After Effects does not see Flash symbols that are buried below the main timeline.
I opened up a project I worked on a year ago (with a different computer) and the Flash files had the exported Captivate items on the main timeline with the object on its own layer. Those files work fine in After Effects.
Can anyone tell me if they are having the same export issue with Captivate 4 not exporting its elements in Flash on the main timeline (as seen in the help file: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Captivate/4.0/Using/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119e9582981-7fff. html)?
Thanks!

I found the solution here (http://labnol.blogspot.com/2004/09/export-captivate-movie-to-macromedia.html). I'll reprint the steps here:
1. Close Flash CS4 if it is open.
2. Open Windows Explorer.
3. Navigate to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Captivate
4. Copy the RDMFISTUB.dll file.
5. Navigate to:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash CS4\en\Configuration
Note: The 'Local Settings' folder by default is hidden. If you are unable to locate the 'Local Settings' folder you can unhide it by opening Windows Explorer, select Tools > Folder Options > View, and select the option to 'Show hidden files and folders'.
6. Create a new folder called Importers. Your final path should look like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Importers
7. Paste the RDMFISTUB.dll into the Importers folder.
8. Open Flash CS4.
9. Create a New Flash Document. Save the document (or Flash may freeze when importing)
10. Select File > Import > Import to Stage.
11. Browse to and select the CP file.
12. Click OK.
Here is a comparison picture of the results. Without the steps above the imported Captivate assets will reside inside of a movie symbol (one for each slide). This is labeled "incorrect" in the image. I want each asset on a new layer in the root timeline. This is labeled "correct" in the image.
I want to go from Captivate to Flash to After Effects (because Captivate generated Flash files are unreadable in After Effects). For full disclosure, I used Captivate 3 in the steps above, but I hope this is a solution for Captivate 4 as well (I decided to stick with Captivate 3 because it worked in a project I used a year ago).
