Import Swf file corrupts in Flash CS3

Hi,
I have recorded my desktop activity in "My Screen Recorder
Pro" and export the movie as swf file. While playing it on Flash
player 9, I found NO problem at all but when I import it into Flash
CS3 (or Flash 8) to embed with my project the file get corrupted
and I could see black solids squares in between. How do I get clean
swf file which is just fine when playing in Flash player?

Probably because you used _root within your scrollbar code.
If that's the
case you can fix by setting lockroot to true, within your
scroll bar swf.
Just place a this._lockroot = true; as the first line in
frame 1's code.
That being said, it's better to simply avoid using _root.

Actions not working to imported swf files in Flash Catalyst

Hi,
I have a problem with manipulating my imported swf files (created in Flash professional) in Flash Catalyst CS5. Whenever I add any of the swf control actions to a swf file in the timeline such as 'stop', the animation ignores it and keeps replaying. I tried to add action sequence when a certain button is pressed, and also tried to create 'On application Start' and added 'stop' so that the animation stops immediately when the application opens. No matter what I do, the animation refuses to perform the actions and simply replays. The animation is a simple shape tween between 2 states with no action script attached to it. I published the animation as an swf and exported it to Flash Catalyst. Is there any suggestions whatsoever on why this is happening? Is it something to do with setting up my flash file prior to import? The only way I figured out to stop the animation from playing is adding action script to the flash file in Flash Professional however this is not what I want because I would like the animation to be controlled by components in my flash Catalyst document.
Thanks

You can make you swf a custom component with 2 states.
The first state will be empty and rename it "OFF" the second state will have your swf file and name it ON.
Then go back to your artboard/project, add your 2 buttons ON & OFF.
For the ON button add interaction "play transition to custom component ON"
For the OFF button add interaction "play transition to custom component OFF"
Here is an example swf_control

How can I import a .swf file in Adobe Flash CS4?

Hi,
How can I import a .swf file in Adobe Flash CS4?
Thanks.

you can use file/import but that would be a mistake.
you should "load" your swf, not import it.
if you want to load it and need help, are you using as2 or as3?

After effects cs6 will not import swf files...

after effects cs6 will not import swf files...keeps saying it's unsupported. why would this be? what do i need to change?

What SWF file? What source? How was it generated? SWF generated by Flex/ Flash Server may contain constructs that are incompatible and SWFs that render all their elements dynamically using Flash drawing primitives and use lots of ActionScript may also not work...

How do I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library on my laptop

How can I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library? I put the flash drive into my laptop, selected " add file to library", selected the songs I wanted from the flash drive, and it looked like they were added as the names show under " recently added". Then I removed the flash drive from my laptop But when I select one of the songs and try to play it a message saying "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" So it seems the actual files did not transfer. What do I do? I have done this. With a cd in the past with nsomproble,.

Thank you!! This worked. It does seem there should be an easier way but this did work.
Dragging the files to "Automatically Add..." is pretty easy once you know where to look. Just make sure iTunes is running when you do it; otherwise the files will just sit there until the next time you open iTunes.
(Interestingly, the way you originally tried to do would have worked fine except for one little detail: you have to first go into Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and check the box for "Copy files..." If that is not done, iTunes will reference the files on the flash drive, which of course are not accessible once the drive is removed, as you saw.)
Anyway, glad that all is now sorted. Enjoy the music!

Import swf files in CP3, but export without any voice?

Did anyone have the same problem with me?
I imported swf file in slide and published. But I can't hear any voice in the slide....
At the same time, I tried to import as flv file and published, then it works. Voice in slide can be heard with no problem.
How can I fix the problem? thanks!!

Hi,
Just a quick check. Go to menu item " Edit > Preferences" and select category "Publish Settings".
Confirm that option "Include Audio" is checked.

SWF File in Adobe Flash Player

I've created a flash animation (the backgroung is moving horizontally and vertically according to the movement of the mouse), the problem is that when I open my SWF file in Adobe Flash Player 10.0 the whole animation is shaking. (In Adobe Flash in preview mode it looks fine)
Any ideas how to fix this ?

Hi,
When you mean by shaking does it mean that the animation does not run smooth or it actually cuts frames? You might want to check if the same thing happens to the animation if you export it as an html(File--> Preview--> HTML). If that is happening it can be three things:
Video Card Driver problem: maybe update your video card drivers or something might be going on with the video rendering software
Computer Speed(which I really don't think)
Flash Driver problems: try uninstalling the flash player program and installing the latest version(I also don't think you will have problems there)
Hope this helps you,

Can Adobe Interactive PDFs play sound from imported .swf files

Hello.
I'm really really stuck, can anyone help? I'm on 10.8.3 using In Design CS6
I am trying to get an interactive PDF with imported .sfw files with sound to play ....the sound. Preview is fine in the working file - but as per the previous query on thishttp://forums.adobe.com/message/4772574 - The interactive PDF loses the sound. I tried installing ezPDF - but it's an app and I don't know how to install it to work (I think it's meant for iPADs). So...does anyone know if I can have an imported .swf file play when exported to an Interactive PDF and also work on an end users PC?...should I be able to install ezPDF reader on my MAC and get everything working?
Any help would be good as this is day 3 having called Adobe on Day 1 which was fruitless.
Thanks

Really hard to say without seeing the whole project, but my guess is that you have moved your exported SWF somewhere from it´s original location (where you exported it to) without moving Resources folder to same target location too... when you place video, audio or SWF to your layout, indesign does not embedd it to resulting SWF. Those files will be stored into a resources folder which always has to be at same root with exported SWF. Media files will be loaded dynamically from that folder at runtime.
So you can guess what happens if that folder does not exist....

Cannot import swf files of flash player 8 into director

Since I upgraded to Flash 8 the swf files generated canot be
seen in Macromedia Director unless I am saving them as Flash 7. I
have updated both Flash and Director and the problem is persistent,
please help.

ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE
I suggest there's no need to shout.
Try linking the Director cast member to the external swf file instead of fully importing it. You also should have the 10.1.1 update in place - this is particularly important.

Importing another swf file into the flash-homepage (swf is a gallery)

hi there!
have a problem that i cant resolve myself ..
i downloaded a free of use gallery from juliuswebdesign.com (this gallery) and i'm trying to load it in my flash site ..
now, the gallery works if i open it directly (i open the swf file)
BUT
when i try to load the external swf file into my site
loadMovie("image_gallery.swf", box);
then the movie loads .. the gallery is displayed the message "loading xml file" displays and then when the xml is loaded the message "loading image 1/7" displays and only the first image loads.
once the first image is loaded it will not be displayed (it remains outside of my swf file .. i can see it when i resize the window) and no other images will be loaded.
if i open the gallery.sfw file again everything works fine .. the problem is only if i try to load the gallery.swf in another swf ..
something must be wrong ..
i tryed to opern the gallery.fla file and copt everything directly in my site and the problem remains the same .. only 1 image loaded and not displayed in the gallery ..
i'ts like something in my site "blocks" the gallery beeing loaded..
any suggestions?

to the gallery's fla add the following and retest:
this._lockroot = true;

Trouble importing swf files

I would like to embed a .swf file into my catalyst project, but everytime I import a file catalyst crashes if I try to modify or reposition the file. I have tried runing the project just to see if the swf is visable, but get a message saying that there is an error in the code. I am not great at coding anything. I know a bit about HTML and CSS, and am completely stuck with this one.
I have gone to the code screen and this is the error that shows up:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOrBoundsException: -14473
Resource = Main.mxml
Path = photohome_Vfx/src
Location = Unknown
Type = Flex Problem
I have tried importing several different files, but always get the same results. The files are all photo galleries that were generated using Slideshow Pro and Flash CS3. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Hey there,
I use SSP in Catalyst projects. I may not have the answer you're after. But I might be able to offer clues to the solution by showing you what I have that's enabled me to use SSP + Catalyst successfully. I've installed the most up-to-date SSP version. My images are hosted by director. I don't host them on my server.
I open Flash and choose Action Script 3. Then I do all the other stuff you know about. I hit publish and save the .flv, .html, and .swf files on my server. I save them in a directory that holds both SSP files and the Catalyst folders. You know, the ones Catalyst publishes when you hit save to Web.
For Catalyst I use Beta 2. A clean install after removing and deleting Beta 1. I simly make a catalyst file and then hit import media type .swf file. And voila.
Then I publish to Web and when I do this I choose to publish all the Catalyst files into the directory that will get put to the server. Then I go to the server and delete the folder that says "run local." I don't need that on the Web.
If I had an overall suggestion It would be to save your Catalyst projects. Delete Catalyst entirely and re-install it. Then delete SSP and re-install it. This shouldn't take more than 15 minutes of your time. After that...reflect, repent and reboot.
Peace,
Jim

My imported swf files have lost their streaming sound. What can I do?

I am trying to import a swf I made that contains streaming sound. When I place it on the time line and press cntr enter my animation plays but with no audio. I see the symbols from the swf and the swf inside my library. When I open the swf file inside my project it is broken down frame by frame with no audio. I can add audio back into my movie clip so I know that movie clips can support streaming audio. But I would rather not have to do this.
I'm very new to flash so I am hoping there is something big that I am missing.
In addition to my previous question: I need to embed a lot of objects over and over in this project I am working on. Each object will have controls for play back of itself. Is there some reason I cannot do this?
Thank you for any advice you may have.

Thank you for your reply
Ok. I will need to maintain a libary of movie clips that contain streaming audio and simple scripts. Does anyone know of a good tutorial for importing a file at runtime? I've seen something called shared libary properties and it has a field for a url. I put a swf file on my web site and took it's url and put it into this field but nothing shows in my library. What else do I need to do?

Probs with imported swf file

Hi
I have imported a swf file which is displayed correctly
within the import dialog. After clicking OK only the placeholder of
the imported animation is seen. When running the captivate movie
the swf is not diplayed. When setting the swf to synchronize to
movie all frames of the swf are displayed but don't stop where they
are supposed to do. Unfortunately this swf file was exported from
the authoring system opus xe so I don't have a chance to edit it in
flash itself.
Maybe someone knows a solution for this prob?
T.

It sounds like the swf file may not be 30 frames per second.
I'm using v1.01 and I've had a lot of problems with swf files
loading consistently. A few times when I positioned the swf file at
the very beginning of the Captivate timeline it wouldn't load.
Moving it a half second up on the timeline fixed the
problem.
