Looping movie, Flash CS Professional

Hi all
I am in the process of building a site for a riding school
and they would like a 10 second bit of footage looping at the top
the page, the footage has been shot on a HDD camcorder in 520 x 480
I think.
The client would like the footage to across the top, 750ish
wide x about 250 high.
Is there anyway i can use Flash to get this to happen or will
I need to use a video editing program?
many thanks in advance for any help with this matter

Hi --
Generally any video or image that is resized inside of Flash
will not look
great. Ideally what you want to do is find a program that
will let you
resize the movie to the finished size. However, since you
want to exapnd the
widget from 520 to 750 you are increasing the size by 50% and
it may not
look very good blown up that much regardless of what software
you use. I
don't have any experience with "upsizing" video so someone
else might
suggest software that will do it correctly.
Also, keep in mind that if you take a 520x480 movie and make
it 750 wide it
will end up 692 high and you said your client wants it only
250 high. This
means you will either have to crop it from 692 to 250 so
you'll loose 65% of
your height. If the footage was not shot with this cropping
in mind it may
look very odd cropped this way.

  • Need help with Different approaches to setting variables in a Flash movie in Adobe Flash CS3 Professional Version

    Hi,
    I'm using Adobe Flash CS3 Professional version of Flash
    software,
    I need help and guidance on
    Different approaches to setting variables in a Flash movie,
    what I should do in the fla file, and in the html file.
    Thanks, Gil

    Hi petro_jemes,
    Just a little claritification, you need to add the value to the variable "[string]$ou", and also change the language in the variable "$emailbody" in the function "Get-ADUserPasswordExpirationDate".
    I hope this helps.

  • Making .mov to loop inside flash

    I have a seamless quicktime .mov of clouds I want to use as a background.
    I set my flash animation to loop...but at the end of the .mov file instead of looping it just quits.
    How do I get the quicktime .mov file to loop within flash?

    Re: Loop inside a loop making performance poor!!!Yup, it probably will be.
    Your nested loops have an advantage in that they give you control over the process of what is happening. Unfortunately due to several factors including context switching between pl/sql and the sql engine this process is all but certain to be slower than doing the work in SQL.
    Instead of nested loops which call a procedure define a cursor directly your routine to get the data, then use a bulk collect - you can read about them in the documentation - to load your collection. One select with a bulk collect is all but certain to be faster than loading each row one item at a time.

  • Dynamic text in looping movie clip

    Hi,
    I am looping a movie clip which has a dynamic text box. I
    need to call data from XML and place the same in the Dynamic text
    box as per the duplicated movie clip. how do i do that.
    Thanks,
    Ayush

    on (release) {
    _parent.frontFields.topTextArch.ph2TopTextBrush._visible =
    false;
    That is the script attached to my button. I can see the text
    flash for a second when I push the button but it does'nt go away
    because the looping movie clip just continually goes back to the
    first frame and makes the ph2TopTextBrush text field visible again.
    I think I know what your saying. Your saying to attach a
    script to the first frame of the looping movie clip that would
    check to see which of the 3 dynamic text fields are visible. That
    would be perfect but I'm not sure how to do it.
    What would the script that I place on my button look like?
    What would the script in the first frame of the looping movie clip
    look like?

  • Converting to mpeg with Flash MX4 professional

    Hello peops! ,
    I have been searching for a few days and I'm tired! So I thought
    I would resort to the forum here for an answer. I am using
    Flash MX4 professional on a Mac with Mac OS 10.3.9. I can't
    seem to find the answer to convert a swf. file to a flv. or further
    yet to a mpeg. I have tried to publish and export, but get the
    error message, (version of quicktime doesn't have handler).
    I have tried to export and publish to lower flash 5. I have
    tried to export and publish to QT 6.5, but can't export to mpeg.
    And I found ffmpegx. to try and extract mov. file to flv.- mpeg.
    ff doesn't recognize mov. file from flash. I have found many
    conversions to flv. file for Mac OS 10.4 and later, but none
    for Mac OS 10.3.9. I am stumped! If anyone has an answer
    please share it!
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Hi Vlaf (Flav),
    the main thing for converting a flash swf into a flv is to make sure that the timeline is not embeded inside a moveclip (meaning that the timeline of the movie is on the MAIN timeline....and not nested somewhere else.
    if this is right, then it should export correctly. If it still fails with the Encoder....try an alterative encoder caller "Super"(its free)...and does a great job!
    unless specified by your client or target advert host, always try to use a minimum of 30 frames per second and you should be good to go.

  • Can't Uninstall Flash CS3 Professional

    Yes I've looked around the web and Adobe forums. There's a whole mess of things I'm trying to fix right now so I might as well start from top and keep it compact.  Scroll down to where it says "Let's recap" if you wanna get a summary of my technical issues. It may scare away some of you, but please at least someone respond. (ps all links are put here purposefully by me)
    I joined a site called newgrounds and became fascinated by flash movies there. I found a link which lead me to Flash CS3 Professional free trial download page.  I installed the program without a single problem. But after installation & restarting I couldn't find flash in there at all instead I found these (screenshot). I asked for help on newgrounds, and got advice to install CS4 instead. First I attempted to uninstall CS3, but it will only let me uninstall the Flash Player 9 ActiveX Component and not the program. I looked this up and the solution seemed to be CS3Clean Script. However I have two problems: first off I can't backup my files like recommended because the backup drive doesn't have enough room, which means 7.63GB out of 10GB is somehow being used (screenshot). If I decided to run CS3Clean Script without backing up my data I'd get a message telling me I need to install Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. (screenshot) Which leads me to my second problem.  When I run the file to install "Windows Installer CleanUp" (just downloaded)  I get this error. What does it mean? Because I am on the Administrator's account so I don't understand why I don't have privileges.
    That's all of it!
    Let's recap:
    +Can't Uninstall "Flash CS3 Professional" Trial
    +Can't use "CS3Clean Script" to Uninstall Flash unless "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" is installed
    +Can't Install "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" because of this error
    Minor-ish problem slightly related---> Can't back up data in case something else goes wrong!
    ps Did I scare any of y'all away yet?

    Clear all registry entries manually, folders and directories
    then do the
    installation all over again.

  • MovieClip Preloader keeps looping movie

    MovieClip Preloader keeps looping movie
    I made a MovieClip preloader and everything workes fine.  The problem is the movie that I am loading  keeps looping.  Is there any way to stop this from looping?  I used  Flash CS5, AS2.
    Here is the code that I am using:
    bar._visible = false;
    border._visible = false;
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", "100");
    my_mc = new MovieClipLoader();
    preload = new Object();
    my_mc.addListener(preload);
    preload.onLoadStart = function(targetMC) {
    trace("started loading "+targetMC);
    container._visible = false;
    bar._visible = true;
    border._visible = true;
    pText._visible = true;
    preload.onLoadProgress = function(targetMC, lBytes, tBytes) {
    bar._width = (lBytes/tBytes)*100;
    pText.text = "% "+Math.round((lBytes/tBytes)*100);
    preload.onLoadComplete = function(targetMC) {
    container._visible = true;
    border._visible = false;
    bar._visible = false;
    pText._visible = false;
    trace(targetMC+" finished");
    //default image
    my_mc.loadClip("main.swf", "container");

    Thank you for responding
    The stop action stopped the movieclip preloader from looping the movie, but now it shows a black screen at the end instead of the last frame of the movie. 

  • Flash MX Professional 2004 Activation Problems

    I am having trouble activating Flash MX Professional 2004. I have had the product for many years, but it is asking again to be reactivated, probably because I have moved the vmWare virtual machine on which it is installed to a new host computer.
    I have learned that the old Macromedia activation servers are no longer available, and have tried using the information provided by http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/macromedia-legacy-activation-error.html. But that only activates me to a non-professional version. I need to use features in the Professional version.
    Is there a serial number available for Flash MX Professional 2004?

    OK, I have got my problem sorted.
    After a second call to UK customer service, I was e-mailed a serial number that they said was for Flash MX 2004 Professional. However, it didn't work with my version! My version is 7.2, and the original serial number of my product starts PFD700. The serial number given by Adobe is PFD800-00466-08280-86965. Maybe the 800 means its for a later version, don't know, but my version does not accept this as a valid serial number.
    A third call to try to get a PFD700 serial number got me a brick wall again, they insisted that was the only serial number for MX 2004 Pro they had. At this point I followed sinious's suggestion and asked to talk to a supervisor. They were on the phone, and I was promised a call back. I'm still waiting.
    So I hunted a bit harder with Google and eventually found a site that gave me a serial number. The use of that unlocked the Professional features of my version, and I'm up and running again.
    Thanks for your contributions guys, you've both helped. I agree with sinious's critism of moccamaximum, and wouldn't normally go to sites of dubious provenance for help. But after being exhausted by my efforts to get help from Adobe - who to be fair nearly got there in the end - I went hunting and found something that solved my problem. After all, Adobe themselves are publishing activation-free serial numbers.
    I've given the serial number I got from Adobe, it may help others who experience activation problems in the future.
    But I'll follow sinious's advice and not give out the serial number or details of the website I got it from. It wasn't very hard to find.

  • Hello, I have a problem with Adobe flash cs4 Professional, the tool, : Trace Bitmap

    So anyways, I was trying to make a Sprite animation using Adobe Flash Cs4 Professional. And While someone gave instructions on how to do so on Youtube, it said to use the Trace Bitmap tool in the top where tools are listed. So when I click, a downloading bar pops, and its loading so it can load it and do whatever the Trace Bitmap tool does. So anyways, when its like half-and-a-quarter done, one quarter stopped downloading, and to exit Adobe Flash Cs4 Professional, I have to activate Task Manager, and the tool dosen't work, help please.

    Did the Flash plugin crashes also happen with a previous version (10.1) of the Flash player?

  • Flash mx 2004 vs ADOBE FLASH CS4 PROFESSIONAL

    I'm am about to try ADOBE FLASH CS4 PROFESSIONAL (trial) It's
    for my daughter, she began a project at school with madromedia
    flash mx 2004. but my trial version at home is no longer available
    and she needs a little more time at home for her project. My
    question is: are these two software compatible, can she open her
    files saved with flash mx and work on them with flash CS4, then
    save, and open at school and continue to work??? I have no
    knowledge in flash animation. before getting the trial I want to
    know if I'm doing all this for nothing. As english isn't my first
    language, I don't know if my question is clear enough. thanks for
    helping me!

    ok. thank you very much for your answer, That is what exactly
    my daughter's fear. And of course, it will be the same problem if I
    have adobe flash cs3. *sighs* I will try Flash 8. Thank you again.
    Have a very nice evening.
