Import SWF's that use components

I'm using a
Flipping Book component in
Flash that's really cool, and I'm trying to get the exported SWF
into Director.
When I import the SWF, everything in it works except the
flip-book component. It just doesn't show up.
My only guess as to the problem is that maybe Director
doesn't like importing the components with the rest of the SWF....
Has anyone else had an issue like this, and perhaps can
suggest a solution?
Thanks

Flash MX Professional 2004 (v 7.2)
Director MX (v 9.0)
The component does not link to any external files. It simply
references "linkage" names from the library. It functions well as
an SWF in or out of a browser, and as an .exe projector file.
I have tried both fully importing the swf into Director, and
just linking to it. The result is the same: the component doesn't
show up. This Flipping Book is not the only component that shows
this behavior - I think it's a component problem in general.
I just did a test where I tried importing an SWF into
director which used the ScrollPane component. There is nothing else
in the SWF other than the component instance and the library clip
that is scrolls. The swf worked fine by itself or as a projector,
but import it into Director and the component just doensn't show
up. There is an outline on the stage where it should be, but the
scrolling content doesn't appear - and I've tried having the
component itself link to an external swf file as well as an
internal library clip.
Is something not being compiled correctly during the import?
I'm stumped...

Navigation within swf files that use different version of actionscript

I have multiple swf files that need to link up together, the problem is this, some of the files was developed a few years ago with Flash MX and actionscript 1 while some of these files was developed recently in CS 5 with actionscript 3.
Is it possible to navigate within different version of actionscript files in the same flash player?
I found that actionscript 1 file will not work once i have navigated to actionscript 3 file.
Any suggession or solutions would be highly appreciate.

Actually, it will not work properly. Given, the code behind all these swf(s) is Object Oriented then there is a solid chance of getting them to communicate with each other without any issue. Once suggestion would be to centralize the navigation into its own swf and then dispatchEvents and have the listeners handle the rest. I am sure there are other avenues, but I would do it this way so if there any other such file(s) in the future, all you will need to do is hook the plumbing up and off it goes. Now if the code is anything but 'Object Oriented' then it will take good chunk of time to get the navigation going. However way you decide to pursue it, test it rigorously so there aren't any foo surprises.
Thanks.

Trouble importing an XML that uses DPX sequences

We are doing an offline edit using a DPX sequence. We're testing now to ensure that an XML of the sequence when we're done will work. (Our DPX is in HD, and the online house will be taking a 4K DPX version of the same piece - identical except for the resolution - for the online.) However, when we start up a new project and import the XML to test it out, it isn't making the edits to the DPX sequence that we made. Everywhere there is an edit, it just starts the DPX sequence at the beginning again. This is the same exact HD DPX sequence that we used when we made the edits.
Here is the original project:
http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/1802/i2ht.jpg
Here is what it looks like when we create an XML from that project and import it into a new project:
http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/6389/swfw.jpg
The text block you see in the thumbnail for the videos in the sequence is the slate at the top of the DPX sequence, so you can see that it's just starting at the beginning of the DPX sequence every time there's a cut. What should we be doing differently?

My apologies Jim. My understanding - which was probably incorrect - was that the XML schema that was in use by FCP7, which has since been implemented for use in Smoke, Resolve, Premiere, etc., was developed by Apple. Thanks for educating me!
XML as currently coded cannot convey sequences created from image-sequence-based media.
What has been an issue for me and a few others, which may be in play here, is relinking to media coming from a third party grading session. Smoke, Hiero, Resolve, SpeedGrade can all conform DPXs to an EDL or XML using timecode (independent of reel name, clip name, etc) while Premiere as yet does not. Premiere's relinking struggles if there's any disparity between the source file names and the file names it's relinking to. It would be great to see some more flexibility there, such as timecode-based relinking coupled with optional fields for partial clip name and partial reel name relinking.
Since the original post refers to a third party vendor doing the finish on the project, simply relinking in Premiere may not be an option. If the vendor in question is going to be conforming in either Smoke, Flame or Hiero, just sending an EDL over will just about guarantee a successful conform. I'd contact them and find out what they prefer.
Cheers!

Smart export/import - unable to import project that uses 'xml' technology

Hello,
I have smart exported project and this project uses technology 'XML'. When I'm trying to import it, there are following issues (screen) - no fix available to choose:
http://screener.tk/f/o/f/z6nRM.png
So, it seems technology 'XML' is not recognized during import, because it has different ID. On repository I'm trying to import to, XML has ID 27999. So, I manually edited SmartExport.xml file and changed all occurences of 1189 to correct ID: 27999 and tried again to import. After this change, there are no issues. But just after I start import, following error message is thrown and import fails:
http://screener.tk/f/o/f/wf8R0.png
The same issue when I'm trying to import any project that uses any not built-in technology. After importing technology on destination server, ID doesn't match. And if I change ID in SmartExport.xml, no issues but import fails due to error similar as above.
So, what is the correct way to perform succesfull import/export in this cases and how to fix "dirrerent origin" errors? Do you have any idea?

PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!

Failure When Deploying EJB Project That Uses Library Onto Glassfish

Hi,
I have a multi project application that I am developing and I am having issues testing it. I have set up a EAR, WAR, EJB, and two library JARs. The EJB contains classes that use components from the library JARs or implement abstract classes from the library JARs. I have added the library JARs to the compile-time libraries of the EJB. I then also added the library JARs to the libraries of the EAR. However when I then go to deploy the EAR onto the Glassfish server I get this error, displayed in the Glassfish log:

I am using these technologies:
NetBeans IDE 7.0 for Java EE
Glassfish 3.1
I did read that putting the libraries in this directory: <glassfish_home>/domains/domain1/lib may resolve the problem, however there must be a better way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

First of all, use a normal font when posting a question. This is just terrible to read.
You have multiple failures here. Did you actually read and try to understand the error?
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/foo/sdk/core/AbstractClassJava is not going to lie, this class is not on the classpath of the application. Either the jar is missing, the class is missing from the jar or you put the jar in the wrong place. Open up the ear using your favorite zip tool and check out its structure. What is the path to the jar inside it?
Also, open up the META-INF/manifest.mf file inside the EJB jar. Is there a class-path line in there? There shouldn't be!
A valid ejb jar requires at least one session, entity (1.x/2.x style), or message-driven bean. Apparently your EJB jar contains not a single EJB or MDB class. Did you forget some annotations perhaps?
Seems to me that your application compiles, but other than that it is very much broken.

Any factors that Development Components cannot be imported?

Dear all experts,
I am new to Webdynpro development. I have tried to open a webdynpro program developed by other developer before.
1. Copy the source code under my documents and settings, e.g. d:\Documents and Settings\xxx\.dtc\LocalDevelopment\DCs\com.xxx.xxx
2. Select File > Import and then select Development Components and logon my account to server. Supposing the component would be appeared under Local as usual. However, this time, I cannot see the component imported.
May I know do you have any idea for about? Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Anne

Hi,
You can export the DC present in the developer system and then import that .sca file into your System.
Then refresh the Developement Component.
Now right click the DCs available and select Create Project if it is available.
In the next step right click on the DC and select sync Used DCs.
Then Build and Deploy the DCs.
If you have any problem (errors) while Syncing or Building check the error log for Missing DCs.
For any guidance on importing and exporting the Development Component follow this link.
/people/srinivasan.subbiah/blog/2008/03/21/team-oriented-development-without-remote-nwdi-in-ce-71
Note: The Developement Configuration package should be same in both the systems.

Gayathri.

.SWF that used to work on Captivate 4 not working on 5!

Hi,
I have two .sfw files that used to work fine on Captivate 4 but won't work on Captivate 5.
One is a pause button, and the other is a video.
I only have the .swf files for both.
Please help!
Andressa

Captivate 5 does handle certain SWF files differently to Captivate 4. These SWF files are usually ones that use nested symbols rather than having all animation on the main timeline. The only way to fix the issue (that I know of) is to have access to the original source files used to create the SWFs and make changes there. Sorry.

Need to import .swf into Flash 8 project

I'm working on a project that requires me to use an already
made .swf file in it. I'm creating the whole project (which is a
presentation) strictly in Flash 8. This project requires a user to
be able to navigate through various menus and categories to see
what's in them. Most of the categories have a slide-show of images
that are accompanied by a voice over sound track that explains to
them what they're watching; however, for other categories I already
have a previously created .swf file that I need to import into
Flash 8. The issue that I've noticed when I just import the .swf
file into Flash is that the file plays at about 100x the original
speed. I think that it is because Flash looks at this file as one
frame and tried to play everything all at once. I also looked into
the possibility of trying to the loadMovie() function, but that is
not that convenient for me because this requires me to decompile
the .swf file into .fla and edit it so that a user has a way of
coming back to the main menu of the presentation from that movie,
unless there is a function parameter of loadMovie() similar to
HTML's "_blank" where a new window opens so that the user can close
this window without having to worry about restarting the
presentation. I hope that what I'm doing is clear, and I'm very
much open to any suggestions about what I should do about it or any
other ways of doing what I'm trying to achieve, which is to be able
to play already-made .swf files in my Flash project. To give more
details on these .swf files, they were originally created in Adobe
Captivate and exported into .swf. They play perfectly when you play
them, but it's just that there is an issue when I try to play them
from my Flash project. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Braulio
a good tutorial site can be found at
http://www.kirupa.com
and also, look in your Flash Docs, for loadClip() and
loavMovie() methods. They should get you started on some ideas to
import external content.

Importing Swf

Hi there,
I have created a flash file using codebaby and it is transparent; however, when I bring it into adobe presenter, it has a black background. How do I get rid of the black background of the imported swf file? It looks great in other tools; however, I need it to be transparent in adobe presenter. I have 7.0.
Adobe presenter 7.0.6 build 7604

Hi there,
I am using AS2; however I still get the black background, so then I tried capturing the background and using that in my background and I get a border.

Why an imported SWF created in Flash CS5 doesn't works fine?

perhaps I am not lucky. I find no answer.. perhaps im a noob (daaaah) please if you can help it would be appreciated!
I'm new in flash and flash catalyst.. but i'm not bad at all hehe. After publishing a swf from flash CS5 (that works perfect when i preview it) i want to import it in flash catalyst...
... i click on import swf and i select my swf. When i execute the project (CTRL+ENTER) in flash catalyst the motion tweens created in Adobe Flash doesn't start
Even if it works well when i run the SWF from desktop or in Adobe Flash directly

A detail that could help you guys..
I used FlashEFF2 in Adobe Flash CS5 (as a Text Effect (it's awesome)) and this effect only starts and works fine in Flash Catalyst. The motions tweens created in Adobe Flash CS5 doesn't starts in Flash Catalyst
Thanks to read it!

HELP my imported SWF

I have created an animation of a superman like character flying with the animation being his cape flapping, his eye moving occasionally, and he moves up and down slightly to imitate the movement of flight.
I exported that animation as a SWF movie.
I then opened a new document and then imported that SWF file into the library to use, but when I place it on the stage, the functionality doesn't work. The only animation that has carried over from the original file is the cape flapping. The moving eye doesn't work, and he doesn't move up and down anymore.
I'm quite new to animation in flash, so maybe I'm exporting and importing too many times or something, or I'm just not going about it the right way.
Should multiple animations be done in the same document? or should they be done individually and then all imported into a new document where they all come together?
All help and advice most welcome.
Thank you.

First of all I done all the artwork in Illustrator, then I imported the pieces into Flash and set them in position, putting on seperate layers the parts that were to to move, eg. the pupil in the eye moving within the eyeball.
For the cape, I had done what you said not to do, but it's the only thing that's working, ironically. I made the flapping cape animation in a separate flash document using 5 different images and changing to each along the timeline every 1 second. I then exported the flapping cape as a SWF movie and then imported it into the flash file where the body of the character was and positioned it where it should be.
The eyeball moving occasionally was done using a motion tween, as was the gentle moving up and down of the man flying.
Then I exported ALL that as another SWF movie so that it was one animation (which actually included 3 different animations. 2 done in the document, and one imported SWF), but it's only the flapping cape that continues to work even if I copy all the layers across instead of importing the SWF.
I know that all sounds a bit of a mess to people who know how it should be done, but I'm a bit lost at the moment as I'm not sure which steps I should be taking and in which order.
Thanks for your help with this.

Resizing imported swf files...

I have a movie clip that I want to import a swf file into,
but the swf is larger than the movie clip's area. I tried using a
resizing code for importing images that I found, but it makes the
swf very small. Is there a way to control the size of the imported
swf?

I did this recently where I had a backdrop clip that I wanted
to serve as a 'screen' for jpgs I loaded in. I wanted them to
resize to the full extent of the background clip and maintain their
aspect ratio. The backdrop clip could have different dimensions at
different points in time as well... anyhow this should work with
swfs same as jpegs.
So I'll explain it in my context as I don't know exactly
yours (sorry this might sound a bit complicated because of that).
#1 If your holderclip is called
imageHolder and it contains a single clip inside at location
0,0 called
imageBackdrop
#2 You create an emptyMovieClip inside imageHolder and use it
to load your swf into using a Loader with a listener
#3 you have some code similar to this in your onLoadInit
event for the Loader (onLoadInit lets you initialise things like
size location etc before it displays)
If you can do something like that then I think you should be
on the right track for what I think you want to do.

Import SWF or FLV Jobs

Hi, I search a way to import FLV-jobs, created with Flash
CS3.
Problem: I don't find any way to export a Flash as a FLV-file
- it takes lot of options, but nut a FLV-suffix.
Secend Question: Who can I import SWF-files into Captivate?
The only option I find is "Insert/Animation", which is used for
animated buttons.
Thanks a lot for any advice, Wolvo

Hi Wolvo
Insert > Animation is what you are looking for. It should
allow you to insert the following file types:
* SWF
* GIF
* AVI
* FLA (.FLA is the Flash source file format)
Seems odd that Flash doesn't have the capability to create
.FLV format. I'm wondering if you maybe just need some sort of an
additional file you can install to make it do this.
Cheers... Rick
