Is it possible to have swf files rotate?

Hi all. I hope you can help me.
I found a brilliant file showing how to bring in bitmaps to flash from an xtml. and have them rotate in sections on and off the screen.
I'm sure there are other ways to do this but this is the one i have managed to find and adapt to my needs.
( I'm more designer than coder but i try, and this file is a code fest! I have never used an external file before to make my animations work.)
http://www.flashmo.com/preview/flashmo_224_grid_slider
I was looking at what my site requires and decided i would like this format but for swf. files to be loaded instead of Bitmaps. Is this even possible with an swf? The reason i would like to use swf's is because i would like the user to see a small (interaction optional) animation in place of each bitmap, and if they don't click anything the next one will appear by breaking into squares and the next one rolls in etc. just like the bitmaps but with swfs. Would i have to create bitmaps to be broken up into squares and rotated into view and then have it automatically load the swf in it's place and then before rolling out switch back to the bitmap? Or is there a way just to load the swf's and have them break up and rotate?
I have managed to remove the text info and dissapearing bar, as this would not be required for the animations,and I have extend the viewing time however although it's working it might not all be completely correct :S
Any help would be much appeciated and if there is a tutorial for exactly this just point me in the right direction.
I hope i can do it just with swf's as that would be awesome.
Please be aware i was taught the basics on Macromedia Flash MX as a designer and have recently bought Adobe CS4 so i'm still trying to catch up on all the new tricks and info. So please be gentle, I'm a little rusty.
Thanks
Cobie

Thanks for the reply.
Yes i think it does use the bitmapdata class. I'll try searching for swf masks tutorials and see what i get.
Thanks for the reply
Cobie
Does anyone else know of a tutorial or download file i could look at?

Is it possible to have a File Upload dialog incorporated into a Buy Module?

Is it possible to have a File Upload dialog incorporated into a Buy Module? I'd like to guide a user thru the steps to placer an order, one of which is to upload a logo file. It is so much neater to have the Logo Upload be associated directly to an order being placed, rather than having a seperate file upload which is not directly related to an order.

Not at that point no. You can add custom fields to the registration buy form and do it at that stage.

Is it possible to load SWF files from an SQL database?

Hi all, I am very new to flash (I am primarily a C'# developer!) and I have been asked to investigate the possibility of doing the following;
Create an application that allows swf files to be uploaded and stored inside of a SQL database as binary data (Why a database is a long story!)
Allow this binary data to be extracted via a http request to be dynamically loaded inside of a web page.
Now the first part was easy. I have all of my swf's uploaded and stored inside of the database. I have code that can make a request for the binary and write it to the response, so far so good. Now this is where I am stuck.
I thought I could dynamically load the swf binary data by creating a very basic swf that simply contains a movie clip holder and for now a simple loadMovie statement. My idea being that I can could provide a url for the loadMovie statement that returns the swf binary data. This is where I have ground to a halt.
I can see the call being made from the swf, I can see the data being returned but I cannot get it to render. I remember seeing an article some time agao where someone stated that they had used this method with success but I cannot find now. Has anyone ever done anything like? Is it even possible? Am I missing something simple?
I have tried to return both the raw binary data and also used response.write but to no avail. Can anyone help?

You are possibly trying to load AS3 swf into an AS2 Container at least the use of loadMovie() points in that direction. Be sure to use AS3 and target at least Flash 9 in your Loader/Main.swf. Also the AS3 concept of how to load swfs differs a lot from the old concept.
Look into the docu:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/Loader.ht ml
But the biggest Problem seems to me -what you mentioned- that Loader needs a (defined) URLRepuest and since your swf files have no "real" URL and you surely don`t want to let the user directly write to your server, a workaround would be to write the BinaryStream with AIR-functionality to a local installlation directory and load it then from there.

Is it possible to have two files with the same name on my Zen To

Hia,
Is it possible to have two mp3 files with the same name?; I.e if I'm ripping a Bach CD, there are several tracks that have the name preludium, and I hate to do the rename.
Also, will I be able to sync my Zen so that It will only recieve new files that have been added since I last connected my Zen to my computer?
regards,
Fredrik

I believe same filename is OK because the Zen Player does not really care about filename. As far as I know, the Zen database of the tracks in the player is based on the track information such as Title, Artist, Album and Genre. This means you cannot have two tracks of the same Title, Artist, Album and Genre in the Zen Player.

Is it possible to have media files copied to a new location as you import them into a project?

I have roughly 800gb of footage i've taken over the past 2 years of traveling, and I am making a single video montage... The files are located on an external drive, making them slower to work with. I have a 1tb ssd but not enough free space to copy all the files to it for sorting. What i want to do is have the files copy over to the SSD as i add them to the project, so that only the footage i'm going to use gets copied over to the SSD. The only way i can determine if i am going to use the footage or not is to scrub through and mark Ins and Outs in premiere...
So i guess my question, in the simplest terms i can ask is, Is there a setting in Premiere, like the project manager tool which allows you to consolidate used media files to one destination, but one that will consolidate files as you add them to the project? or could i do this manually by repeatedly using the project manager tool to consolidate files periodically?
Hope that makes sense...
Oh, and yes, i have considered other methods to my madness, like reviewing the footage outside of premiere before deciding if i will use it or not, frankly, i have over 4000 pieces of footage and it's just much faster to scrub through them in premiere than to open each one in vlc to review. It's also much more convenient to mark my ins and outs as i review the footage, so premiere is my only option.
Thanks!

You can easily (and better, IMHO) do what you want in Adobe Prelude. It's part of the CC subscription, and may have been included with CS6.
Open the Ingest panel, navigate to the external drive where you have your source clips, make the thumbnails in the Ingest panel comfortably large, click a video clip to enable scrubbing, and use the J-K-L keys to navigate playback through the clips. Put a check mark on the clips you want and be sure to select and set up the Transfer option on the right side of the panel before ingesting. Don't select the Transcode option.
Cheers,
Jeff

Is it possible to compress SWF files using gzip?

I am using gzip for all the files of my server but my swf doesn't seem to be getting compressed also "swfobject_modified.js" used by the SWF file doesn't get compressed as well, whereas other .js files are getting compressed. Any suggestions ?

For quite a while swfs are (by default) (g)ziped when published. You can change that under the publish-settings using the flash tab. Regarding the swfobject, I think that the code is very size optimized, whereas your regular run of the mill self-made .js is mostly optimized for readability.

Is it possible to view swf files via Creative Cloud?

I usually use Dropbox for this purpose as it works well for sending preview links to clients - however I thought as I have far more space on CC it would be a better platform for me to do this, however the file format doesn't seem to be supported. Is There currently a way to view a full swf / flash animation via CC or is this functionality which you are planning to include in the future?
thanks
Linden

I am one of many i know, like above, that use dropbox to share links to clients. Some clients are starting to block access to dropbox and we are left trying to find new ways to send easy previews to clients. I thought i had a solution in creative cloud, especially when i could share just the swf, the only functionality missing is the actually playing of the swf. This would be a huge add. I know you say "may" be included in the future, but this should get changed to a must add.

Is it possible to have a file hidden in Windows, but visible in OS X?

Essentially, I am trying to have a thumb drive with two versions of a piece of software, one Windows executable, and one Mac executable. I want the Mac file hidden in Windows, and vice versa. I found that I could use SetFile and make a file invisible, which Windows will ignore. However, it seems Mac does not ignore the hidden attribute for Windows. This is a problem for my use case. Is there any way to achieve my goal? I am open to different file systems (NTFS, fat32, UDF, ISO9660/Joliet, etc)

You could try to partition the thumb drive into two partitions, one for Mac, OS X Extended (Journaled), and one for Windows, FAT 32. Windows computers can't read the Mac partition without 3rd party software. Macs can read and write to both partitions.

Is it possible to have same file size for different dpi?

I changed one.TIFF file (300dpi, 1024X1332) to .jpg files of four different dpi. But when I checked the four result jpg files, I found out that they are all in same file size and quality.( I also have checked the property of the files in the Windows.)
I think more DPI means more data and more file size. Am I wrong?
I use Photoshop CS 5.1(64bit, WINDOWS) - which is part of my Adobe Master Collection CS5.5.
TIFF(300dpi, 1024X1332) ->
1. JPG(72dpi, 1024X1332) : 306KB
2. JPG(108dpi, 1024X1332) : 306KB
3. JPG(144dpi, 1024X1332) : 306KB
4. JPG(600dpi, 1024X1332) : 306KB
I tested a few times more with different files. and same result comes out.(same file size for different dpi)
Thanks in advance.

Yes absolutely. Great observation. PPI does not control the number of pixels, just how big they are.
Now, if you change the PPI in the Image Size dialog with Resample checked.. then, that is a different story. In that case you will be changing the pixel dimension of an image (i.e.,changing the total number of pixels making up the image) while keeping its print size.
In your test files, you will notice all the print sizes are different, because all you were telling Photoshop to do was change the size of the pixels (if or when the image is ever printed), which is really just a bit of metadata of the file.

Progressive download of SWF file - possible?

With FLV files, it is possible to have progressive downloads.
In other words, while a part of the video is playing, the rest of
it is downloading.
I want to have SWF files that contain frame based animations.
Does Flash work the same way for SWF files also? In other words, is
it possible to play part of SWF file's frames, while the rest of it
is downloading, or does it need to be fully downloaded first and
only then start to play.
Thanks for your help in advance!
hkundra

> I want to have SWF files that contain frame based
animations. Does Flash work
> the same way for SWF files also?
Yes, it works the same. Loading from the first frame to last
in the order they come.
But, take note, if you place animation inside a movie clip
and that clip is on frame
(example) 10, it will need to stop on that frame and load the
entire movie clip to
progress to the frame 11. So the streaming and progressive
loading happens only if your
content is spread across main timeline.

I can´t play swf files ... Flashlite 3.1

Hi ..my english is not good.. I have a problem.. i have test quiz on a site .. the quiz is on swf file.. and i can´t open the file .. i see only the logo from the Flashplayer and the number 9 (yellow).. what is the problem?
i have Windows Mobile 6.5 and Flashlite 3.1 v.9.1.122.125
Thx
MrFinn

Hello,
"what is the problem?"
Are you trying to read a Flash 8/9/10 content with a Flash Lite 3.1 player ?
This is not possible.
The swf file has to be compiled in a "Flash Lite 3.1 SWF" or you won't be able to read it on your Windows Mobile 6.5 phone.

Append swf file - Spry.Utils.updateContent - not work

I don't understand this
When I try to add swf file to Spry Tabbed Panels content -
everything is OK. Now - in tabbed panels content I want to insert
data from external html files. In this external file I have swf
file and text, and images. When I preview this html external file
in browser - all data are displayed correctly. When I try append
this file into tabbed panels content :
<a href="#" onclick="Spry.Utils.updateContent('apDiv1',
'products/products1.htm'); return false;">Append file</a>
only swf file in a new window are display.
If I delete swf content from external html file - everything
is ok. But if in external append file is a swf content - IE display
only swf file.
Is there posible to append html file with swf file in this
method in any way?

Hi Elaine,
The implementation of AC_FL_RunContent() suggests that it was
only meant to be run *BEFORE* the page finishes loading. Because
Spry data sets and regions load and redraw asynchronously, usually
*after* the page finishes loading, they are not compatible. As
we've mentioned above, if Spry triggers the call to
AC_FL_RunContent(), it will most likely be *after* the onload event
has fired, and since AC_FL_RunContent() uses document.write() it
will result in the entire page being overwritten by the
<object>/<embed> tag that it writes out.
That all said, libraries like SWFObject were designed to be
called even after the onload event fires, at least from what I can
tell from their samples. If you need to extract data from a data
set to create your SWFObject, you can simply attach an observer to
your data set that will tell the swfobject to do what it is you
want it to do. For example:
<script type="text/javascript">
var dsProducts = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("products.xml",
"/products/product");
// Register an observer on dsProducts so that any time it
changes data or the current
// row changes, it tells the swfobject what to do:
dsProducts.addObserver(function(notificationType, notifier,
data)
if (notificationType != "onDataChanged" || notificationType
!= "onCurrentRowChanged")
return;
// Do something with the swfobject here:
var curRow = dsProducts.getCurrentRow();
// The following embedSWF call is only an example of how to
get the "productURL" column
// value for the current row and pass it to the swfobject.
The rest of the args, are left as names to
// show you what you should be passing.
swfobject.embedSWF(curRow.productURL, replaceElemIdStr,
widthStr, heightStr, swfVersionStr, xiSwfUrlStr, flashvarsObj,
parObj, attObj);
</script>

.swf file as an iView

Dear SDN Community,
I have .swf file(demo recording) which was required to put it in the Portal as an iView. For this I have created a folder named Demo in Public Folders in "KM Content" and copied the .swf file. Now, I got the URL for the doucment I have copied in the demo folder and created a URL iView with the URL being /irj/portal/..../../demo.swf.
This works fine in Firefox but when I tried to open this iView in IE it opens with the URL http://<<server>>:<<port>>/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.navigation.toplevel/html/child.html and closes in 15 sec. Can you please advice me here how I can display the .swf file as an iView in IE.
Thanks!
Vivek.

Hi,
As already said use KM Doc IView, also check these threads:

Normally swf files can also be embedded into HTML files for better control.
