Is it possible to import a SWF with a transparent background into Catalyst?

Hi,
Here's what I'm hoping to happen. I've created presentation in Catalyst and I was hoping to import an animation I created in Flash into the title screen of the presentation in Catalyst. Problem is, I don't want the background from the SWF to cover the background of the presentation in Catalyst. I know that you can make a SWF appear transparent in an HTML file using the "window mode" when publishing a SWF from Flash. Is this at all possible?
Thanks!

I figured it out. And yeah, it is possible. The way I did it was to publish the SWF with the HTML file  while making sure that the window mode is set to transparent. I then was able to import the SWF to my library in Catalyst without the background and then use multiple instances of it. Works great.

  • How do I import a graphic with a transparent background.

    Being new to FinalCut Studio 6, I'm still using iMovie HD (6.0.4) for projects I need to get out quickly. I need to import a graphic to use in opening titles. I have it in .eps, .psd, and .png files. So far I can import it but end up with a black background. I need to be able to put the graphic in front of video clips so need the graphic to act like a title with no background or transparent.
    Any suggestions.
    I know I need a FCP training etc. But am hoping to get this project out today or by the end of the weekend. Thanks in advance for help.

    a-l-i is right, not possible in iMHD6.. (iM08 supports this 'effect').
    you can use QuicktimePro for overlaying grafics ..

  • When I copy an image with a transparent background into an image editing program like Photoshop, I get a black background

    I'm wondering if there's a way to preserve transparency, or even change the color of the background to white.
    I often need to get reference pictures for my artwork, and it is a pain to have to save every image and the black background often makes it difficult to see the image, especially when the image has only black pixels.
    Help?

    You can try to drag the image in a Photoshop window instead.<br />
    If that still doesn't work then you need to save the image and open it in Photoshop.

  • Is it possible to import Tracking Codes with Cisco WebEx Meetings Server 2.5?

    Is it possible to import Tracking Codes with Cisco WebEx Meetings Server 2.5?

    Hi,
    In documentation, you can find only what is possible and supported in the product. We don't document what is not supported. 
    At this time, there is no feature request submitted for this as I assume no one requested such a feature. If your customer really needs this feature, I advise you to reach out to your/their Cisco Account Manager, explain the feature you would like to see, so they can reach out to Product Management and see if this could be built in the next product version.
    I hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to import an Oracle 10 (export .dmp file) into Oracle 9 db ?

    hi Oracle Guru's
    Is it possible to import a oracle 10 (export .dmp file) into an oracle 9 database ?
    I tried & got the following error ...
    IMP-00010 not a valid export file, header failed verificationperhaps their is a work-around ?
    thanks

    Hi
    You can take export from a previous version and import to a later version. Having said that, there is still a workaround to do what you want.
    On 9i server add a connect string for your 10g instance. Then use 9i export utility to export 10g data. That way your export will be compatible with 9i. You can then import the data in your 9i instance.
    To create connect string you can either use Net Configuration Assistant or manually edit TNSNAMES.ORA file in your 9i server.
    Hope it helps.

  • Can I import a swf file (created in FC) into Flash?

    Can I import a swf file (created in FC) into Flash?
    ...also, do you need Flash Player 10 to play these files?

    Just did some testing here, and Flash Professional definitely does not like Catalyst projects. Importing to the stage failed silently (gotta love that), while Import to Library appeared to work - I got a MovieClip in my library. However, the clip is empty. I'd guess it is as Chris said, having to do with the fundamental differences in the Flex framework from the way Flash Pro works.
    As this did spark my curiosity, I decided to give loading the Catalyst-created project into a Flash Pro project at runtime using ActionScript. I was able to at least get the Catalyst content to appear through this method, but the effects (in this case, a simply button with a Rotate3D effect applied) was a mess.
    So the simple answer is "no".

  • How do I import animated gifs into Premiere with a transparent background?

    I have an animated gif that I got from the internet, and I'm trying to import it into Premiere Pro with a transparent background. The gif is of a video game character standing still and blinking. Whenever I import it, it always has a white background, so I need help on how to change that.
    I've gone into Photoshop and removed the white background frame by frame, making it transparent. I do this by using the magic wand tool to select the white background, then hit "delete" to turn it into that diamond grid, which means it's transparent. I then select File -> Save for Web. I preview every frame, and it shows that the backgrounds are transparent. I save it as a gif. But when I import it into Premiere Pro, the white background is still there.
    I've read many forums online about people trying to import images into Premiere Pro with a transparent background, but none of them have explained how to do it specifically for animated gifs. Every answer has always been "export the image as a png, that'll work", and sure enough, I exported a few frames of the gif as pngs, and those few frames had transparent backgrounds in Premiere Pro. But I don't want a png because those aren't animated sequences, those can only be still images. I need to export it as a gif so that it will remain animated, but gif files always have that dreaded white background in Premiere Pro.
    I suppose I could export every frame as a png, import each of those frames into Premiere Pro, then string all the frames together and tweak them so they'll be functionally identical to the animated gif, but that would take forever. I'm making a video project and I need numerous animated gifs to work with, so I don't want to do that with every single one of them. I'm looking for a way to simply import the gifs into Premiere Pro and be done with it. If there is any way to do this, please help me.

    faind on gif transparency and other cartoon animation problems : Adobe After Effects
    " The reason: GIFs don't support alpha channels. Instead, their file structure assigns a certain color value to be read as totally transparent. There aren't any degrees of transparency as you find in graphics formats that do support alpha channels.
    To use an animated gif in AE, you'd first have to create the areas of transparency, then convert the series of images into a graphics format that supports alpha channels, and there are a bunch: PICT, TIFF, TARGA or PNG, to name a few."

  • Is it possible to have video with a transparent background in dps?

    Is it possible to have video with a transparent background in dps?. Basically i've animated some elements in apple motion and want to incorporate them as an overlay (with the indesign page background showing through).

    You could do it with an image sequence but AFAIK there’s no support for alpha channels in video.

  • How do I export a keynote slide to pdf with a transparent background?

    I use Keynote for creating figures for a report I'm currently writing and layouting in Adobe InDesign.
    Unfortunately I have run in to a quite annoying problem.
    Because of the page-layout and background graphics in my main report, I need to be able to export the figures without the white background which comes as standard. I tried to remove the background in "Master & layout" (my Keynote is in Danish, not sure if it's called the same in English), which is suggested to bring background transparency when exporting to Quicktime movies. I doesn't seem to have any effect when exporting to pdf though.
    When importing the pdf's into InDesign the figures comes up with a white background instead of the wanted transparent.
    My choice of pdf over png is because of the vector graphics.
    Is it possible to export to pdf's with a transparent background?

    One option would be to export the slides as image files and bring them in Pages in that format.

  • Insert an image button with a transparent background?

    I would like to be able to use an image button with a
    transparent background. I have converted my graphic files to .gifs
    with transparent backgrounds. But when imported into Captivate,
    they have a white background. If I insert as an image button and

    possible to have a transparent background when using the image
    button functionality in Captivate? Thanks!

    I still cannot get this work. Does anyone have anymore help?
    I have .gif files for the image button with a transparent
    background. When I insert into Captivate as an image I can click
    the option for a transparent background, and the image appears in

    really want to do is insert this into my project as a button. I
    insert this into Captivate as an image button (there is no option
    for a transparent background) and the image appears in my Captivate

    (something like, use my image along with a transparent button or
    clickbox on top of the image?) Thanks for the help.

  • How to save a clip with a transparent background?

    How do i save a clip with a transparent background to export to quicktime and then be able to import it back into my timeline and have it be able to overlay ontop of another clip? Transparent clip is for lower third

    For transparency to work, you need to save it in a format that has an alpha channel. Not sure if FCE supports the Animation codec but if it does you'll want your material as "millions of colors +". The "+" means Alpha.

  • Trying to import files with transparent backgrounds into Premier Elements 10

    I am struggling to import files from Photoshop CS3 into Premier Elements 10 and preserve their transparent background. I have tried .png (8 and 24 bit), .gif and .psd files. I have tried rasterizing the type layer before "Saving for web and devices" but can't get anything to work. The imported files end up as either text on a white background (.gif) or the file imports as a black background with no type visible (.png and .psd). I have read a few forums but can't find any suggestions beyond what I have already tried. I also get the same problem if I "Save for web and devices" out of Illustrator.
    Any suggestions much appreciated.

    You have brought up one very interesting maintaining transparency question which I feel goes more to the trigger on the
    Premiere Elements Videomerge pop up than to the Photoshop CS2 Save As with or without a check mark for Maximum Compatibility
    And, I find that Photoshop CS5.1 as well as CS2 involvement in this matter is the same.
    I created three 720 x 480 pixels documents, each with a blue colored circle on a transparent background in
    Photoshop CS2 and saved each
    psd with check mark next to Maximize Compatibility
    psd with no check mark next to Maximize Compatibility
    png
    Each of them was imported into a NTSC DV Standard Premiere Elements 11 Windows 7 64 bit project.
    Each triggered the Premiere Elements 11 Videomerge pop up.
    If I checked No for the program request to apply Videomerge, then all 3 results were the same, that is,
    the area around the circle was transparent and the circle was not...just the way it was created in Photoshop CS2.
    So, why was the Videomerge message telling me "Clip being dropped contains solid background color" when
    it had transparency represented by black and did not have a solid background color?
    Even more interesting was what happened if I selected Yes to the program's request to
    apply Videomerge to create transparency for what it claimed to be seeing as "solid background color".
    The result was the same for all three cases, that is, the inside content of the circle became transparent
    and the "black background" became a "solid color".
    Videomerge is not one of my preferred Premiere Elements options.
    To avoid the Videomerge pop up, I would suggest placing a check mark next to the "Do not show again.",
    followed by No in the Videomerge pop up. When you do, you should not be confused by the activities of the
    Videomerge pop up activities and you should have no problems with the maintenance of the Photoshop
    created transparency in the Premiere Elements project.

  • Successfully imported external swf, can not put it into movie clip

    Hello all,
    I have started learning AS3 and gradually getting used to, trying to put external swf into movie clip.
    Successfully imported target swf and put into stage, when I publish this I see target swf is playing.
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    var BGLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    var BGurl:URLRequest = new URLRequest("HomeBG.swf");
    BGLoader.load(BGurl);
    BGLoader.y = 0;
    BGLoader.x = 0;
    addChild(BGLoader);
    As next step I want to put this swf into movie clip and get more control, but when I publish bellow only I see is empty background, without any errors.
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    var BGLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    var BGurl:URLRequest = new URLRequest("HomeBG.swf");
    BGLoader.load(BGurl);
    BGLoader.y = 0;
    BGLoader.x = 0;
    //addChild(BGLoader);
    var animMC = MovieClip(BGLoader.content).getChildAt(0) as MovieClip;
    addChild(animMC);
    Is anything missing?
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    You can only access Loader.content after Load completed successfully.
    Try this,
    import flash.events.Event;
    var BGLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    var BGurl:URLRequest = new URLRequest("HomeBG.swf");
    BGLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
    BGLoader.load(BGurl);
    BGLoader.y = 0;
    BGLoader.x = 0;
    //addChild(BGLoader);
    var animMC:MovieClip;
    function completeHandler(event:Event)
         animMC = event.currentTarget.content;
         addChild(animMC);
