Importing Images in Flash CS 5?

Hello ! I want to make a slidshow presentation for my project, and i am using Adobe Flash Pro CS5 for this purpose. I am new to Flash Pro CS5 and I have been referring to Lynda.com Flash Professional CS5 Essential Training: from all those videos i found to my interest was Creating a Slideshow Project. So on one of the video it shows how to create a guide lines and import images and editing them one by one. Please download the video, but i am having trouble understanding it.
My question is :
1)Which template is he using , is it Animation, Presentation, Action Script 3.0 or Flash Lite 4
2)Import Images and Distribute to Layers. (*Video starting from 1:22, how did he do it, i tried Distributing to Layers after selecting 14 images and i end up with error. "Could not complete operation because of unknown error.)
Could someone enlighten me, how its done. I am getting late for my project. Here is the link.

Hello Desktopuser
the stage he is using appears to be a normal stage with no transitions that I can see. You have the option when starting a new project to use a "Simple" or "Advanced" template that have built in AS 3.0 controls to control the way the movie performs. Both of these have built in instructions on how to use them with the images basically going into a pre determined MC (movie Clip). You would place your images into this MC and put each image into its appropriate frame.
as for importing the images, not sure why your getting that particular could not complete message but my guess is that the images you are using may not be optimized for useage for Flash. meaning you may need to save them in a jpg, gif, png, etc.. format from photoshop and then import them into Flash. Make sure the files aren't huge in size as well. Not sure how many images your bringing in either so you may want to take care if your bringing in more then say 20 at one time.
hope it helps some

Importing images into Flash

I am importing images into Flash only to discover that the images (1280 x 720) are not centered on the stage. Most of the time the images are off centre by a few pixel widths or in some cases by an inch or more. I can't get them to centre unless I clear the stage and import a few times.
Is there a way to import and have the images framed perfectly within the stage.
I'm currently using Flash CS5.5
Thank you.

You can also click the two blue boxes icon under the Timeline and then drag select the whole timeline and that will let you select all your frames at once. then just position them all where you want them at the same time. I attached a screen cap of the area I'm talking about. It's right after the two white boxes.

Color inconsistency importing images into flash cs6 - cs4

After much experimenting I can't seem to solve this issue - imported images get tinted in an undesirable/inconsistent way when imported and published within flash.
images look consistent traveling between photoshop / image preview / illustrator / etc.
they also look fine on co-workers versions of flash -
the image in cs6 ( see the inconsistency between the library and the stage ) ...https://www.dropbox.com/s/ssjhvrjad9udc27/Screen%20Shot%202014-05-06%20at%205.18.13%20PM.p ng

I need to use cs6 or earlier since I am working in as2 ... this is driving me crazy and not sure what to do to solve this -
... oh, and my cc bridge color settings are set to North american/web though I don't believe it should affect cs6 and below https://www.dropbox.com/s/vem8dey694wkwon/Screen%20Shot%202014-05-06%20at%205.38.56%20PM.p ng
thanks in advance for any suggestions -

this is an interesting article - I learned a bit more about how browsers + flash handles color ... however it didn't directly apply to my issue
thanks -M

Importing Images into Flash CS4 from Photoshop 7

Hello,
I've created an image in flash, basically the image is a ring which has then been divided into 3 equal segments, each segment exists on its own seperate layer with and has a transparent background. I want to make ach of these segments into a button on flash, so I've imported them across and converted them into buttons, however the problem I have is that when it gets imported into flash, it creates a box around each segment which is what flash sees as the full button, this means when you roll over a blank piece of the segment flash recognises it as rolling over the button. Is this just an inherent problem from importing from photoshop into flash or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Sean

Check the settings:
Edit/Preferences.../PSD File importer...
And then load the *.psd file without the background.
And certainly there is no change in flash...

I got the same problem. I tried to import into Flash cs3, cs4, cs5 - constant error in each application.
But seems I've found the reason why this happened in my case.
I just deleted the installed system video codecs (divx, xvid, third-party codecs).
I do not see a direct connection with the import objects into flash. But fact, immediately after the removal of codecs it has to work.
I suspect that the reason could be a third-party codec that is associated with playing QuickTime. Maybe.
Also if it does not help you this way, I used a temporary solution.
Open the psd in Adobe Ilustrator, copy images to clipboard, paste it into flash.
In my case the images are not displayed on the screen after insert, but put into the library.
Don't touch objects, just save the file, close the Flash.
Launch Flash and open saved file. In my case in the first run was an error.
Close the application and open it with file again.
The second time the error was not followed, the images were within the document 8-)
This option made it possible to work until the issue is not solved completely (adobe, wake up!).
win7 64, cs5 (cs3, cs4 had the same issue)
Perhaps it can be useful for someone.
thx
Sorry for my English.

When importing an image into Flash, the filesize is reported incorrectly

I saved an image from Photoshop using "Save for Web" and managed to bring the filesize down to 56.5kb. When I import this image into Flash and click on the properties, the reported "Original" filesize is 1884.6kb which is a heck of a lot more. How can I import the image and retain the filesize without having to compress the image further causing a horrible quality image?

right click one of your bitmaps, click properties and tick "allow smoothing". retest.

How do I correctly import images into Lightroom?

Before installing Adobe Creative Cloud, I deleted Adobe Elements and all files in My Pictures on my hard drive so I could start fresh. I copied groups of images from CS5 Bridge on my old pc onto an empty flashdrive and tried to import them to Lightroom. In addition to those copied images, whole bunches of other images imported. Even worse, those added images were sorted strangely, not even belonging to the groups as I had them in my old pc.

Since you used the Copy import type, at least the images are also where they originally were, other than those on the flash-drive which was a temporary location for images from another location except when you plug it in.
So there seem to be two unexpected things: more images were imported than you wanted to be imported, and some of the images are in folders that don't match the date they were taken.
The folder-date mismatch might be due to some of the photos not having a taken-date in the exif information so the date they were last modified is used, instead. You should check your destination naming options in LR to see if you have things set to import into date folders or not. If not, then you actually specified that LR import a particular import's photos into a specifically-named folder that you typed the name of.
As far as how extra photos got imported, only you can answer that. It would have to do with where you told LR to import from and if you have Include Subfolders selected. There is a way to specify an Auto Import folder using LR / File / Auto Import where LR will watch for photo files and import photos it see show up in that folder, but I doubt that is the problem.
You'll have to decide on what to do now. If you have all the photos still on the flash drive, then you might want to start over. However, also think about if you want to be doing a Copy Import into your pictures folder from everywhere else, or if you want to use Explorer to copy the photos, yourself, outside of LR and do an Add import. A Copy import from the flash drive could make more sense, since that is only a temporary location for the photos, but for other photos already on your computer, an Add import might make more sense. If you use your OS copy commands to move photos from the flash drive to your computer's internal drive, you can decide what to name the folders, instead of LR choosing, if you have LR Import set to use dates.
If things aren't in completely the wrong places, you can drag-and-drop within the LR Library Folders panel to put things where you want, and you can also right-click Remove (without deleting from disk) any extra photos.
Also, there is nothing magic about the Pictures folder. You can choose to make a new folder and put your LR photos under it.
The bottom line is that LR isn't doing anything more than what you told it to do, and it sounds like you just aren't aware of all the settings enabled during your imports so unexpected things happened.

How to make a link to an image in flash?

Hi,
I´m new in Flash CS3 and I´m trying to get some
answers to my problem.. The question is
that how do I create a link to an image in flash??
I know how to make a link to a text field but I really
don´t know how this could get working properly.. :/

Link to an external URL image? In AS 2 the code is
'getURL("putaddresshere")' and in AS 3 it's 'navigateToURL("")' ...
If it's a simple image, it's easier just to import it to the
stage, save it as a symbol, put it in a timeline frame and then
code your link so on click or rollover it goes
'gotoAndPlay(framenumber)'.

How to resize image in flash

Hi guys any tips or advise on how to resize an image i know
there are various tools but is there a tool in Adobe flash
professional and how can I do it
cheers

In what way do you want to resize the image? Are you
importing graphics that you want to resize when you import them at
runtime? Do you want to resize the images to a specific size or
relative to one imported image? Or do you want to resize one or
more images for a specific purpose at runtime based on some user
input? Or is it something else?

Can't import photos from flash drive

When I try to import photos from a flash drive, the images do not stay in the Library -- the next time I open iPhoto, I can see the photos but when I try to edit them, I get a screen prompt that the "source is unavailable - can't access the JPEG". To access the photo & edit I have to use the flash drive -- which kinda defeats the purpose of "importing" them in the first place. Why are the photos imported from my flash drive not staying in the Library? I have no problem importing images from digital camera -- those remain in the Library once imported. Please help!

Thanks! A quick review of Preferences revealed the "Copy imported items to Library" was indeed unchecked -- though I don't recall ever unchecking it (as I just started using iPhoto recently). But I have re-checked it and expect the problem to be fixed. Just one un-referenced Library will work just fine for me.

Importing jpeg into Flash

When I import a jpeg image into a flash document the edges
become jagged, not smooth and straight. I tried recreating the logo
in a separate flash doc (which did not have jagged edges) and
importing into the flash doc, but had the same problem. Does anyone
know how to correct this problem?

I don't know the why of it. I don't have this problem most of the time, but I have heard it come up before--I don't remember the solution though. It may have involved importing the image into something that is already scaled smaller.
Anyways, here's a couple of things to check while waiting for someone who might know more to come along.
First, select one of the images and select Modify -> Transform -> Remove Transform. If the Remove Transform option is grayed out, then nevermind.
If that didn't do anything, try dragging one of the images out to the stage from the library and see if it is the proper size.
If you have a ton of images, it's likely that neither of the two things above is an attractive solution anyways.

Importing movie into Flash

Does anyone have any knowledge of importing movies into
flash?
I have a movie streaming in my flash file but when some
people open the exe they only see black when the movie should be
showing. And some others can see the movie. Any thoughts?

you can import them as an image sequence, then create a movie
clip out of it. File-->import-->import to stage.. Then select
all the images, and it something should pop up asking if you are
trying to create an image sequence, select yes.
