Importing into Flash a Fireworks image - advice please!

Importing into Flash using a Fireworks image - advice please!
New'ish to Flash so hope I'm in the right forum ;-)
I have made and image using gradients in Fireworks and have been using FW for ages (please see example below).
I am importing into Flash CS4 this image and want to use it with a Flash component however the image quality is really bad in Flash and I cant figure out why. I have increased the image to 300dpi in Fireworks to see if that helps and it doesn't.
I'm hoping this is a simple thing I am missing due to not knowing Flash as well as I do Fireworks.
Really grateful for any advise. P.

Hi there,
No not trying to adjust size of the image in Flash, do that all before hand.
In Fireworks I can adjust resolution but don't seem to be able to in Flash, is this def the case?

Help needed with Illustrator texture swatches imported into Flash

Hey, so I basically scanned a texture into illustrator and added it into the swatches. After drawing a character in illustrator I used the colour of the swatch I had added to colour in my character and by using the tilde button I could move the texture to see which speicifc part of the texture I wanted for certain parts.
Once I completed my character I imported him into Flash. Here is where the problem lies in, when I attempt to use the bone tool to animate him, as soon as I move a certain limb, the specific texture I had applied for that certain area causes the texture to move and make the area that I had coloured in using the swatches look different to what I initially imported into Flash.
This has been a huge problem I have been facing and haven't been able to find an answer anywhere, I would really appreciate if I could get some help with this. Thank you very much!
P.S. If i explained my situation poorly, just ask for an image and I will gladly post a few so everything's clearer and makes more sense.

How do I remove white outline on clipping paths imported into Flash?

I have been trying to import clipping paths into Flash, but the images look fine, except for the white outline around the imported clipping paths. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I could do to remove this, or what I am doing wrong? The clipping path looks fine when I drop it on the same color background in Illustrator. I'm using CS2 and Flash 8. Thanks.

Check to see if a stroke being added to the vector when you bring it into Flash? If so, just delete the stroke.

Maintaining original video size when importing into Flash

Hi All,
We've imported a number of videos for a client in order to
stream them via Flash. The problem we are experiencing though is
that flash seems to stretch the video height. For example, here is
the video on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7EWMzIXQg8
which is fine
and here is the video imported into flash:
http://www.geofframm.com/movie/frommetoyou.html
We've tried adjusting the height/width settings, but to no
avail.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Best wishes
Dave

I am using captivate 3 and I get an error whenever I try to
export to flash cs3. unknown error.
why the hell doesnt Adobe say that flash is required to
export to flash BEFORE I buy the software? I am using my pc for
captivate, but am primarily mac based and was going to edit in
flash on my mac. but captivate didnt allow for me to export to
flash at all without any kind of flash installed. I installed a
demo version of flash, but the export is coming up with an error.
any ideas out there? adobe??? I'm currently using vista OS.
thanks in advance. r

Captivate 3 is wrong size when importing into Flash CS3

I've tried exporting, publishing etc. and no matter how I
try, when I import into Flash CS3 the size of the Captivate content
(background screens, in particular) are too small. For example, I
captured a 423x424 area for my Captivate project. When I import
into a Flash CS3 project with the same dimensions the Captivate
content (screens) are more like 203x203.5 and the mouse path and
slide context starting positions are upper left corner. I've tried
adjusting some of the importing settings but can't get the screens
the right size unless I resize each one manually - and I have
around 100. Any help greatly appreciated!

Retaining transparency in After Effects, to be imported into flash

Hi
I have created a sequence in after effects using Illustrator images and the partical system. I want to export/render this out with a transparent background and in a format recognised by Flash. Then I want to bring it into Flash and play it over realtime footage from a webcam.
Anyway I have tried to:
render it out using FLV
render it out using Quicktime with RGB + Alpha and millions of colours+
Render it out using Targa etc
I have tried to:
Export it with SWF
Export it with XFL
Ant others I just cant remember.
Is it possible to bring a transparent backgrounded file from After Effects into Flash?
If so, how can it be done?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks Mairead

Animation is the one I use most often. I should be using ProRes 4444 for ease of integration into Apple's Motion and Final Cut apps but I keep forgetting it's available.
...and here's another candidate: PNG the codec, not the image sequence. It also supports Alpha Channels, and unless you're making animated lower-thirds, the file sizes are generally smaller than Animation files.
Animation uses run length encoding, so in situations with large expanses of transparency as in lower-thirds, the file sizes can be downright compact.

What is the maximum number of images that can be imported into flash?

I am not able to import images more than 47 or 48. What is the max. images imported?
As the images are sequence images and I need that to use for interactivity for rotation with Action script. So cudn't import as a swf either.
Please do let me know.
Thanks in advance.

You can load the image files into your movie's Library during authoring, or, you can import the image files into your movie at runtime. Either way, your're still using the same memory.
If your movie is designed so that the user will only ever use some of the images, then it may be better to load the files that the user selects at runtime.
In either case, you should optimize the images that you use as much as possible so that you are using the smallest possible file size and still keep the greatest image quality possible.

Mobile App prototyping for import into Flash Builder 4

I'm a bit stuck.. I would like to create the graphics for a mobile app in something other than Flash builder. I tried Catalyst, but it won't import as a mobile project.. and now I'm trying Fireworks, but it will only export as an FXG file and I can't seem to import that into flashbuilder..
so what to do??
What can I use to quickly sketch something out and then attach the actionscript for a mobile app in Flash Builder..
Thanks

With Flex Builder 3 I used to import Web services directly from my file system, is that possible any more?

JavaScripts Banners Imported Into Flash

I have a banner software that runs an Javascript to display
the banner in the ad. How can I import this into a flash movie. I
like to have those banners within flash movie?
Thanks

Junior Im the same guy called DJ-Eros, soyou know!!!
The banners are normally in GIF format to make them animated
I found somthing to import the image into the flash movei but it
only uploads the first frame of the animated gif and normally
displays it flipped and I mean like backwards. So i have to save
the image in the same manner (flipped) and then it will show in the
correct direction.
Actually i have a Javascript that I put in any html file and
does the magic. Would it be possible to invoke it within the flash
movie to execute within the movie not in the HTML page so the
result is displayed in the flash movie?

Importing into flash builder

I have two questions:
1) If I forgot or just learned about the making a seperate library for all my componets in FC - when I import the FC project into FB can I take the componets section and some how -safley move it to a lib project? - while maintaining compatability with FC?
2) if the above cannot be done - when I create a blank lib proj, export it and import it into fc - why are none of the componets showing up in the Lib componets section? they all show up still in the main projects componets section

Problems importing into 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!

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...

Variables into flash movie - Urgent help needed, please

I am hoping this is simple:
Here is my HTML code:
<param name="movie" value="orig2.swf" /><param
name=FlashVars VALUE="sname=video1.flv"><param name="quality"
value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
I need to pass video1.flv to the flash movie.
Here is the MOVIE data. I was told this is how to do it, but
I am sure it's missing something basic.
//insert sample link below
mediaDisplay.directLink = "
http://flash.xxx.com/flashgen.cgi?sname=&aname=xxxxxxxx/_definst_";
//pulls sname from param value in HTML
mediaDisplay.simplePlaylist = sname;
streamnameTxt.text = sname;
So, it should pull the SNAME variable from HTML and feed it
into player. If I type in SNAME variable and manually place it in
DirectLink line above, it works, but I need it to feed from HTML.
PLEASE HELP!!

I know how to pass the variable TO flash, but how do I get
the FLASH movie to receive it??
Again, here is the code in the FLA file
//insert sample link below
mediaDisplay.directLink = "
http://flash.xxx.com/flashgen.cgi?sname=&aname=xxxxxxxx/_definst_";
//pulls sname from param value in HTML
mediaDisplay.simplePlaylist = sname;
streamnameTxt.text = sname;

Midi loops when imported into arrange window sound pretty lifeless - please help

Hi
I am currently using Logic pro 9 and when I play the orchestral midi loops in the loop window they sound really lush. When I drag them into the arrnage window they sound really dull. I think I have changed a master setting somewhere along the line but don't know how to restore it.
It doesn't happen with the audio loops
I am on Mac OS x 10.6.8
any suggestions welcome
Rhythmseeds

Sorry to say, this isn't a bug — it's a feature!
You've just described exactly how they're supposed to work.
+Green Apple Loops are known as Software Instrument Apple Loops (SIALs). They differ from the blue (audio) Apple Loops in that they also contain a MIDI region plus software instrument and effect settings.+
+When Software Instrument Apple Loops are placed on instrument tracks, the region shown in the Arrange area can be edited just like other MIDI regions, including individual note editing.+
+If dragged onto a blank instrument track (one with an empty channel strip), the corresponding instrument and effect(s) settings are automatically inserted.+
+You can also drag Software Instrument Apple Loops directly into a blank Arrange window (with no tracks), or to a blank area below existing tracks. An instrument track and corresponding channel strip are automatically created, and the Apple Loop is loaded (the instrument is inserted into the instrument channel, along with any effects, and the Apple Loop region is placed on the track).+
+When you place Software Instrument Apple Loops on audio tracks, they are imported as audio regions (and behave like blue Apple Loops). Processing load is reduced when green Apple Loops are added to audio tracks.+
+Note: Blue Apple Loops will not play if placed on instrument tracks.+

Importing into LR4 all my images come in at 1024x683 pixels.

I've just done a huge import of over 100,000 pics. Each image has come in a 1024x683 pixels. This is not the original size. What is going on here? I only shoot Raw at a minimum of 12 Megabyte file size. I have checked all import and preference settings. All help will be greatly appreciated.

InDesign does not support pixels as a unit. All InDesign files use physical measurements for sizes, such as inches, centimetres, or points. InDesign CS5 introduced a measurement called “pixels”, but it is not pixels, it is points (1/72 inch).
When a raster image is imported, InDesign determines the physical size on the page by dividing the resolution (in pixels) by the ppi setting on the image (ppi for Pixels Per Inch). If your image has a resolution of 72 ppi, then each pixel is 1/72 of an inch, which is the same size as InDesign’s wrongly named pixel. If your image has a resolution of 300 ppi, then each pixels will be imported at 1/300 of an inch, completely ignoring the pixel unit of measure you are using. The pixels in that image will be much smaller than 1/72 inch, so the image imports smaller. Adobe made the same mistake years ago with Illustrator and nothing but confusion has been the result.
You can either scale the image up so that it’s effective resolution is 72 ppi (416.67%) or open the image in Photoshop and go to Image > Image Size and change the resolution to 72 ppi. If you do the latter, be sure you set Resample to None. Resave, then import that image and the size will be what you expect.
