Import from illustrator to flash not working (PNG/SWF)

I spent 2 days making some lovely pictures in illustrator,
all ready to go into flash. I first exported them into PNG from
illustrator and tried importing that that way but after clicking OK
nothing appeared on the stage or in the library. There were no
error messages. I then tried exporting from illustrator in swf
format. This time the picture appeared on the stage, with
associated symbols etc. in the library, but when I came to publish
the movie, the picture wasn't there at all. I finally tried copying
and pasting from illustrator. This simply crashed flash every time.
Has this happened to anyone else before? Or does anyone have
any suggestions as to what the problem might be or how i could go
about resolving it? Any help greatly appreciated. I'm begging for
your help. Thanks.
Adobe Illustrator CS2, Flash 8, Mac. (Png attached)

This never happened to me.
I use Illustrator 10 and Flash 8 Pro.
Don't use .png (too heavy files).
Use, as you did, export .swf in Illustrator.
But be careful with export parameters!
Which ones did you use?
In Flash, did you group the parts and convert them to a
symbo

Import from Final Cut Pro not working correctly

I have a very simple project in FCP. (Ver 6) It is a HD clip that is about 5 min long with 7 chapter markers.
I exported the project as an XML file and imported that into Premiere Pro empty project.
I wind up with two assets, a .mov with same name as the .mov in FCP and a sequence with the same named sequence in FCP.
Right clicking on the .mov and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates a new sequence with the .mov on the timeline.
There are no markers.
Right clicking on the sequence asset and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates another sequence with the same name and the .mov on the timeline.
The markers are inside the .mov and audio tracks, not up on the top ruler line where markers appear when manually adding markers.
The keystrokes to move to markers do not work.
The "Clear all Markers" function is greyed out , like it is when no markers exist.
If a "Dynamic link to Encore is performed, there is no markers in Encore.
If you enter chapter markers manually and look at the project file (an XML file) you will see indexes with the chapter points , durations and names as children named "Markers" with attribute"ObjectID='22'.under "//PremiereData"
Following , in sequential order, are subsequent objects "Markers", ObjectID='23" through "ObjectID=n
However, if you look at the project file after importing a FCP project, this same function occurs, except that it is "Markers" "ObjectID=30 with the indexes and marker data 31 through n (further down in the file). This area is empty when adding the markers manually in Premiere Pro.
FYI , the project file is littered with the word "Marker" and "Markers" throughout the file, only their attributes make any node unique.
I am at 99.9 &% finished with a VB program to create / modify nodes, values and attributes, except that the XML date changes format at the node named "//WorkspaceSettings" so I am not able to edit values to make a file that will not crash when opening.
I would very much like the import from Final Cut Pro to work, or someone explain how to work with the nodes under "//WorkspaceSettings"
Thank millions for a solution.

It's a 2007 iMac with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I had been using Final Cut Pro without any problems right until I upgraded to Yosemite. I'm hoping that upgrading to Yosemite doesn't mean I can't continue using Final Cut Pro - that would be extremely frustrating.

Cannot import from Illustrator to Flash

I am using Illustrator CS and Flash MX. I have my page layout
in Illustrator, then when I try to import into Flash, I get an
error message. I even saved the .AI file to an .EPS file, I am
prompted to save as layers or frames, but when i select either, and
click OK, I get an error message stating that parts of my file is
missing. When I try to import from the .AI file, I don't even get
the option to chose layers or frames, it just immediately gives the
same error as before. However, my files are okay when I open them.
Any ideas as to what is wrong?

Make sure your Illustrator files are downsaved to version 6.
Or perhaps just export SWF from Illustrator and import that to
Flash.
Hopefully now that ADBE and MACR can talk to each other this
will get better. However since the features in Illustrator are
exploding relentlessly, it is hard to see how Flash and the export
filters can keep up.

How do I import from Illustrator to Flash?

I some pretty complicated illustrations that I will be using
to build a FLASH demo. What is the best way to import without
wigging out the artwork once in FLASH?

from AI:
File > Export > SWF
then import the SWF into flash.
AI has had an SWF exporter for a few versions now and works
great for me everytime.

@Denyerec, Hi! Just so you are aware this is a user to user forum so the replies you will get here are mainly from users like your self. To have someone understand exactly what your problem is and respond with anything constructive you will need to supply a lot more details.
What system are you useing Mac or PC what OS? What are you attempting to do when you have a problem? Do you get an error message? If so exactly what does it say? Was Lightroom working properly prior to this problem? Is your camera a Nikon D800 also?

Import from Memory id is not working

Hi All,
In the program SAPF110V for Tcode : F110 , I have written an enhancement where when user clicks printout button then a popup will come which will ask for whether date should be printed in the check or not. for this i have used FM : POPUP_TO_CONFIRM . here i am exporting the value if user clicks no (value is 2 for NO).
exoprt statemnt written :
export l_v_answer from l_v_answer to memory ID 'ANS'.
In the driver program for check printing i am importing the value .if value = 2 then i am clearing the date that has to be printed in the check.

Import l_v_answer to l_v_answer from memory ID 'ANS'.
however the value is not getting imported here.
not able to find the reason why the value is not getting picked with import. please let me know the solution.

Transfer functions imported from Simulink through MIT not working in Labview

Hi,
I am just starting to use Labview interface with Simulink using Model Interface Toolkit (MIT). I am trying to import an integrater model from simulink. The model is very simple. An input port connected to an output port through an integrator model (1/s). Here are the steps I used:
1. Build the model in Simulink.
2. Add the NI input-output ports to the model and place the NIVeriStandSignal Probe in the model.
3. Generate the dll using NiVeriStand.tlc as the target file option.
4. Import that dll into Labview using Load Model.vi. Follow the steps given in the example file for importing the input/ output ports info along with the timing info.
5. Then use a numeric control to input value to the integrator dll and pass the output from dll to a waveform chart.
But when I run the labview VI, the output in the chart is always zero. What could be the possible reason? Please let me know if I am making any mistake in the process?
I have used Fixed time step with ode4 (Runge-Kutta) as the solver options in Simulink during dll generation. I am using Labview 2014 and Matlab R2014a.
I have found the issue to occur only when I use any transfer functions or Plecs circuit with inductors or capacitors in my Simulink model. But when I use simulink model with only constant or maths functions like add, subtract etc, this process works and gives me the correct result in Labview.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello Sachin_Madhu,
Can you build example programs with a solver included? Does the model work in The MathWorks, Inc. Simulink® Software without tying into LabVIEW? It is important that when you built the model you followed the four steps listed in this help file:

Importing from Illustrator into Flash

Hello,
I've created a text graphic in Illustrator CS2, which is stretched and with a light fill + a thin black stroke (0.1pt).
When importing into the Flash (CS3) library, I get an error message telling me that there's a compatibility problem because of the stretched text. Everything, besides the fact that the text should be stretched but isn't, looks fine in the graphic that's imported. All well and good, I go over to Illustrator and convert the text to outlines.
Then I try importing again, no error messages. But I get the problem that the outline is thicker than it was in Illustrator. Too thick. (Looks like 1 or 2pt).
I go back to Illustrator and outline the stroke, group the objects together for the sake of it, and try importing again. This time, the outline correctly displays on about 1/3 of the letters. But the rest..now have absolutely no stroke..
I then make a compound path out of all the objects. Which changed nothing, about how it imports into Flash.
I decided to just place the text as a jpeg/bitmap image in Flash, and it looks normal as in, the stroke is the right thickness and all letters have a stroke. But of course, it's pixels. And looks pretty horrible, especially where the letters get rather thin.
So I'm left clueless. Why won't the Illustrator file simply import as it should?
And how can I get it to do so?
Thanks
El

Would converting the text to Flash text in Illustrator be helpful?

Object Imported from Illustrator Changes When Rendering

I am creating a page that can be seen here:
http://www.jalc.org/springswing2010/
The problem is, when I import the lightning bolt from Illustrator into Flash, the two pointed corners in the lightning bolt are sharp and pointed. However, after rendering they become rounded. Can anyone explain how to avoid this?
Thanks in advance,
Andy

Bob, pulling in the gradient from Illy isn't working for me. I'm using ID 5.5 for Windows. I'm trying to paste in a button and it comes in as pieces and I cannot resize it properly (the gradient goes whacko). I tried just doing a simple box with a gradient so I could recreate the button, but the swatch does not appear in the panel. I tried changing the preferences and that just made it come in as a bitmap instead of a vector. What am I doing wrong?

What is the best practices workflow from illustrator to flash in cs 6?

Hello- question from an illustrator to flash workflow n00b.
I'm creating a flash experience with animated characters.
I'm building my art assets in illustrator.
I've found it relatively easy & straightforward to import assets from illustrator into flash.
I can conveniently import my layers and symbols from illustrator as separate layers and symbols in flash and manipulate them.
However, let's say after import I want to change something with an asset using illustrator. For example, I have a character with facial features, including eyes. I want to change the eyes in illustrator and have those changes then be propogated in some way- automagically or manually- in flash.
What is the right way to do this? Are there best practices for being able to go back and forth between flash and illustrator?
Thank you!
~ sae

Thanks for the reply Suhas.
I guess the answer to my question is that there is no good way. In the photoshop/illustrator workflow, I can paste a document from illustrator into photoshop and then double-click it in photoshop to open it back up in illustrator and edit the original. I have seen posts on people doing this between Flash and Illustrator with the now-discontinued Flash Catalyst- a process that was apparently called round-tripping. Ideally, this is the functionality I'd like to have between Flash and Illustrator but I take it from your reply that the answer is 'Does not exist.'

Smart Object import from Illustrator to Photoshop ( CS5 )

Hello !
Here's the thing:
I have an icon in Illustrator and I'm designing a website in Photoshop so I copy and paste that icon as a Smart Object in Photoshop and everything is perfect but when I resize that Smart Object is not perfect anymore.
*The document is 200 %
-The first icon is the original file I import from Illustrator and It's 100%
-I resize the second icon to 70%
Now look at those gray light lines around the second icon. Why is that happening ? How can I fix it ?
Thanks !
PS: Sorry for my English I just speak a little bit.

Hi, again, Sunniess.
Now look at those gray light lines around the second icon. Why is that happening ? How can I fix it ?
You may be sorry you asked. I didn't have time to bore you with the answer to that earlier.
The gray lines are being generated in Ps, so this should be of interest to anyone who works with small images in Ps.
When you export from Illy using the clipboard, Illy rounds to the nearest whole pixel. A rounded rectangle is created in Illy measuring 73x30 pixels. If you scale the rectangle 70% in Illy, the new rectangle measures 51.1 x 21 pixels. But it pastes into Ps as 51x21 pixels.
If you import the 73x30 pixel image into Ps and scale 70% , instead of 51x21 pixels, you will get either 52x21, 53x21, 52x23 or 53x23 pixels, depending on where the Reference point locator (highlighted below) is set in the Transform Toolbar. The gray lines are the extra pixels.
Why the extra pixels? The extra pixels are a form of dithering. When you scale the 73x30 imported image 70% in Ps, you get 51.1 x 21 pixels, same as in Illy. But Ps doesn't round to the nearest pixel. It creates fractional pixels. In the screenshot below, the rectangle is rendered 52x21. The lines at top and bottom are sharp because the pixel height is a whole integer, 21. But the width is 51.1. There's a decimal fraction. The gray vertical bar at right is how Ps represents fractional pixels. The .1 of 51.1. Ps can't actually make .1 of a pixel black. So instead it makes 1 pixel .1 black by assigning 10% opacity.
If the Reference point locater is set as below, you get a different result. Now the rectangle renders at 53x23 pixels. You now have gray rows of pixels at top and bottom, as well as both sides. The height is still really 21 pixels, but since it is transforming from the center and it's an odd number, Ps splits a pixel, assigning .5 black pixels at the top, and .5 black pixels at the bottom, which it represents with 2 rows of pixels at 50% opacity. Similar thing with the ends, except they are lower opacity because they represent smaller fractions of a pixel. This pretty much reproduces what your icon looks like.
Below is a closeup of the above rectangle over a blue background. The rows of pixels aren't actually gray. They are semi transparent black.
The point is, how the Reference point locator is set can have unexpected influence on the results, particularly when downsizing small images. And will be most noticable on straight vertical or horizontal edges.
As if that weren't enough, there are options in your General Preferences that affect the results of resizing images.
I copied and pasted your icon into Ps, then scaled it 70% at two different settings.
The top is Bicubic, the botttom is Nearest Neighbor.
A significant difference. And this interacts with the Transform Locator setting to further confuse the issue. But if you resize in Illy you avoid all this.
If you resize in Ps, it's good to be aware of this stuff. This all happens in Ps. It really has nothing to do with Illy. If you must scale in Ps and get noticable rows of fractional pixels, it's easy enough to select the rows and just delete them. Or fill them. That's essentially what Illy does when it copies to the clipboard.
Your English is fine. I hope mine makes as much sense.
Peace,
Lee

Flash not working in Safari 5

Flash has been buggy for me in Safari 5, ever since I updated the Flash player last week to "10.1 r53". Either Flash files don't play at all, or just the audio plays without video.
Per the instructions on these boards, I have:
1. reset Safari
2. uninstalled flash player
3. installed the flash player
4. repaired permissions
5. restarted
The issue is still there. Firefox plays Flash files, YouTube, etc. just fine. Safari does not.
I'm running SL 10.6.4, latest Software Updates.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I created a new account. Flash works in the new account. That's cool, but I really don't want to re-locate all my prefs, etc., just for a buggy plugin.
So, I next...
1. grabbed the Safari plist from the new account
2. logged out of the new account
3. logged into the old account (where Flash does not work)
4. moved the old account's com.apple.safari plist file out of the Preferences folder
5. moved the clean Safari plist file (from the new account) into the Preferences folder
6. reset and restarted Safari
7. Flash worked...for about two minutes. I tested on YouTube, Vimeo and Google Analytics. Back to Flash not working in Safari.
I then tried repeating the earlier steps.
1. reset Safari
2. uninstall flash player
3. install flash player
4. repaired permissions
5. restarted
Still doesn't work.
Just one other thing to note: whenever I pull up a web page with Flash, I get a "file not found" error in Safari's activity monitor (link is below)...could this be an error with Adobe's website rather than a Safari-permission thing?

Flash not working in photo booth.

The flash in photo booth on my iMac is not working. When I take a pic, the screen flashes but the pic is still dark. Was working fine yesterday. I did install the latest osx today. That's the only changes since then.

In case anyone is interested in your screen flash not working in the Yosemite or Maverick photo booth application, I finally called Apple today and he kept insisting it was working on his - I asked him to take a pic with the screen flash enabled and then disable it and he said it came out the same. And rationalized that it was because he was in a well lit room. I kept telling him in my old photo booth from system 10.6.8 that my face was lit up and my husband had reflections from his glasses so we went from him wanting me to reinstall my software (I refused since both computers were having the same problem - one using Yosemite and the other using Maverick) to him finally going into HIS partitioned disk that has system 10.6.8 on it to discover that the flash there reflected off HIS glasses too. Bottom line is he admitted there has to be some flaw that prevented the photo booth flash from working for Maverick and Yosemite. Whew, finally validation!

Why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
