LOOPING SWF FILE FOR banner ad

Kinda a newbie at the flash banner thing, but I am creating a
flash banner ad for a client which will fun on a 3rd party website.
Their rules stipulate that the banner ad can only loop 3 times. Is
there a way for me to do this apart from duplicating the animation
3 times? I only have a 40k limit, so if I could make it loop 3
times using actionscript verses duplicating the frames, it will
save me some precious size.
thanks for any help you can give.

There certainly is. In fact, David Stiller has shared how to
do this exact task with us on his blog:

Good luck! Let me know if you need any more help.

Is it possible to substitute a .swf file for a .png in the pwdconfirm.css?

Presently my code in the pwdconfirm.css looks like this:
display: block;
color: #000;
background: #FFF url(../images/vfw_message_logo.png) no-repeat left bottom;
padding: 20 20 20 40;
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
border-right: 1px solid #000;
margin-top: 20px;
text-align: center;
I want to substitute a .swf file for the .png file above. I've tried it and it doesn't show up at all when I preview it in the browser. Is it possible? The link to the webpage is: http://www.vfwofwa.org/links.

Dreamweaver CS5 wont loop .swf file???

Hi there,
I am having a problem where i am trying to get a swf file to loop. I read on another thread that there is a bug in dreamweaver and although it automatically selects the loop button in the property inspector it does not add the code. But when i correct the code it still doesn't work! here is the code i am using:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="550" height="400" id="FlashID" title="openingsequence">

I have also read that it could be because the code for the .fla file has a <stop/> value at the end instead of the code to make it loop. I made the swf file from an mp4 in flash so ive never had the original .fla file. I have tried using a swf decompiler to get the fla file but it doesnt seem to have worked but this is a side issue...
I really just want to figure out how to get dreamweaver to loop my swf file.
Can someone please help me, ive spent all day trying to solve this!
thanks,
Matt

Hi
You wrote -

.fla file. I have tried using a swf decompiler to get the fla file but

First welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately without being able to edit the stop() function out of the fla file, your swf will not loop.
You could use the html5 video element for your mp4 and if you have the original video file convert it to other formats for use in the html5 video, and then use the swf file as the fall back, this would allow your video to loop in those browsers that support this.
There are also 3rd party players available that will allow the swf to loop without editing but these will only work on windows.

Using swf file for very large static image

i have a large photo that i need to use as a banner image in a website. i have tried optimizing it for the web in fireworks -- to reduce the file size obviously -- but the client isn't happy with the resolution. i haven't had this issue come up before but i see his point (to a degree), as the detail and sharpness of the original is far superior.
i have almost no familiarity with creating with flash, but i remember reading somewhere that swf files do not have the same sizes as jpeg images.
would it be feasible to include the single static image as a swf file to preserve its original resolution? i mean, would that image as a swf file be smaller than the image as a jpeg?
mille grazie.

There are two things at play here... image quality (often harmed by compression) and image resolution (# of pixels width by height). What is the real problem?
Whether you render your image as a GIF, JPG, PNG or SWF file, they will all have the same resolution.
Packing an image in SWF should be a last resort as not everyone has Flash installed. For example, iPhone users cannot see SWF.

Use a panoramic photo flash file in indesign and export it to a swf file for flipbook

my problem:
i want to export this file to swf to use it as a flipbook.
but now, my panoramic flash file doesn`t work.
is this possible?
thanks
sascha

Hi, I have the same issue??
Even when exporting as an interactive pdf.
My problem is that I am trying to figure out how to export my swf embedded file into an interactive pdf.
I have created an interactive presentation with buttons, effects etc. After which I exported to swf so that all the effects work.
But when placing the swf file back into indesign and exporting again as an interactive pdf it doesn't work at all, all I get is a white screen. (I need a pdf for clients basically, they dont want any swf or flash files.)
Even though after placing the swf file, in the media window I ticked play on page load as well as chose a cover image for the swf file. Still just a white screen when exporting.
To repeat, I need to know how to convert my swf file into an interactive pdf.
Any pointers please would be great I have some swf presentations I need to change into pdf as soon as possible or before tomorrow to be exact before our monthly meeting with clients.
Please help

Using linked flv content in swf file -for deployment on Breeze server

Can anyone tell me the procedure for creating swf and linked
flv file with Sorenson Squeeze for deployment on the Breeze server
or in Breeze Presenter? All Adobe will share is the how to this
with Flash. I feel certain this can be done but all my attempts
have failed to have the swf show the referred flv link. To
interpret the Flash procedure, it seems that all one has to do is
add /output "file name" to the swf player flve linked url, but the
published flv file only shows a white screen. It does not seem to
load the linked flv file - even if I have allowed public viewing of
the flv content.

The procedure may be the same - I'm pretty familiar wit h
that by now - but the results are not. I think the key difference
is that the linked file url addendum "/output/filename" required
from Breeze when creating the linked flv url call-out from the swf
file, does not work is advertised in Sorenson Squeeze. Before
attempting to insert this linked swf file in Presenter, I have
attempted to elicit the same interactivity just by uploading the
fwo files to the Breeze server. Sorenson does not seem to be able
to recognize that additional linked url with the additional "output
/ file name" addendum that Breeze requires. I have replicated that
same procedure in Flash 8 and the results work perfectly. I just
don't like being forced to use a 900 lb gorilla like Flash 8 to
create this simple task when a less costly program like Sorenson is
squeeze should work correctly. Frankly, I think a lot of other
Breeze authors, who are not as adept with this video encoding
process, or who want to be using a developer tool like Flash to
create their video clips. My experience with our users is that that
most shy away from using video in Breeze because it is way too
cumbersome. - Something Adobe should consider before more prospects
move over to another similar authoring program that has actually
dedicated itself to advancing their authoring software
capabilities.

UPK: Can it create a .swf file for embedding into Articulate?

We are combining a policy and systems training course. The policy part of the course is built in Captivate and the Systems part of the course is built in UPK. I am able to easily embed the Captivate Policy section into Articulate, but am struggling with the UPK Systems section. It appears that I can insert it as a web object, but that requires server access by our learners and it opens in a seperate window that the learners will have to close as IE won't auto close.
If UPK could output a .swf file, or if there was some way to convert the player.exe or topic.odtpc files to a .swf file, that would be great...any suggestions?

Hello,
Many UPK customers are using their existing Flash content in the concept frames for topics, sections, and modules. This is quite easy to do. Since Flash content on its own isn't very easy to deploy, Adobe Flash has the option to create HTML pages that act as a "home" for the SWF files generated. You'll need to use these HTML files when you copy your Flash content into a UPK package. Once you have all of the files and folders created with the Flash content in a package, all you need to do is create a link to the main HTML page. I don't have Flash or Captivate installed, so I cannot provide exact steps, but I hope this helps.
EDIT: Oops! I just realized that I misread your question. I'm not familiar enough with Captivate or Articulate, but UPK can be treated like a collection of web pages. The UPK web pages require all the folders that come along with the published player as they contain style information in CSS files and more advanced stuff in Javascript files. If you can pull in all of the UPK files and folders, it should be possible to link to specific topics per the steps described in the UPK product documentation, specifically Content Deployment.pdf.
Best regards,
Marc

Converting SWF file for publication and secure distribution.

I'm looking for advise on how to securely publish .swf files created in inDesign CS6 How to build a launcher and how to convert into iPad and Android apps.

You can't do any of that with just ID. You need access to the Digital Publishing Suite and generate the relevant ePub formats and platform-specific packages.

Creating a transparent background with a SWF file for Export to Air

I have been trying to place a SWF with a transparent background into an image component and use as a background for a widget. When I place the swf (just a simple single frame swf file) and output with any other method the background works perfectly. If I output to air then the background is a white rectangle with only a progress bar the stays at 0%. I have tried to not embed it but I get a broken link icon in the same rectangle.
What am I missing? Should the swf file have some special setting that I am missing?
I am using Xcelsisus 2008 with SP1 and FP1.
Thank you for any assistance.
Heath

While there is no means to be sure about the method in which SAP/BO creates their components. My assumption is that the component uses the WindowedApplication or an HTMLLoader object(more likely) to display each SWF file.
If this is the case then it is a known limitation in Adobe Air that we may be able to overcome by trying out the methods described in the following link: [Air Transparency Help|http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappshtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7e09.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118676a452d-7fe5]
Or try this link for more detail on [HTMLLoader display options within Air|http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappshtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7e79.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118676a3e36-7ff9]
Let me know if this works! Now I'm curious...

How to use swf file for Spark Skin

Hi all
I have little confuse about how to use swf file with Spark Skin,
in Flex3 , i use Flex Skin Design Extension for Flash to deal with skin ,
so basically , I just create a swf file and import to the project , then everything is ok
but , seem that not working in flex4 , spark skin.
1` I can't find the Flex Skin Design for the FlashCs4
2` I try to use FlashCs3 version to import the skin art to the project , but seemed not working.
3` I Google and check the Flex4 Help , seemed Spak skin need the Skin-Class , which I don't know how to use that with swf file
what I have searched is how to use FXG , or some jpg file in that skin class, none of them are use swf file.
so , is there any way that let user use the swf file to deal with the skin?
is the Flex Skin Design can use in Flex4?
Thanks

Hello,
I'm new to Flex, but have come to it from Flash Pro. I'd like to know the same thing. I think I found the answer here:
http://www.flashallys.com/blog/spark-button-skinning-with-flash-symbols/
However my question is now: Is this a good approach to use?
99% of the googling I've done tells me to skin components with fxg files. I've tried that by creating graphics and exporting from flash, but using swfs containing lots of graphics is much faster so I'd rather use that.
The other thing I've done is to create custom components using these helpful tutorials:
Creating component in flash:
http://www.webkitchen.be/2008/12/12/video-tutorial-make-flex-components-with-flash-cs4/
Dealing with Resizing with method overrides for your flash component:
http://www.psyked.co.uk/flex/creating-flex-components-the-easy-way-for-flash-ide-converts. htm
This allows me the flexibility of Flash Pro design with the layout, transistions, data binding etc from Flex.
So my question is: Is this approach (skinning spark components with swfs, and using custom swc components made in flash) a bad idea for any reason? E.g. does it create slow mobile apps?
Cheers
Chris

Where is the folder into which place the swf file for Illustrator Extensions

Hi all,
I can place swfs into Photoshop & Indesign panels folder and they appear just fine in the extension menu but wherever I place the swf into Illustrator's folders, it just appears nowhere. Can someone tell me where do I have to place them ?
TIA Loic

Hi Harbs,
thx for your answer. As I don't have Extension builder installed yet, I do extensions with Flex and csaw libs, so it is easier for me to debug placing the swf directly into the folders like for Photoshop and Indesign. Of course in the end I would have set a correct extension but for now it was better for me to do this way.
So what I understand is that there is no way to get that behaviour with Illustrator unless I do process and install a whole extension package. Annoying but well, will have to deal with it.
Thx Loic

Converting video to swf files in flash for breeze

Hello,
I am using Adobe Premiere Pro 2 and wanted to know what the
best video codec and audio codec to use when I export to create a
video file to insert into flash to convert to a swf file for
breeze? I am having trouble with the audio, must I demux it first
before I put into Flash? Or is there a audio codec that I can use
in Premiere so I don't have to demux the audio?
Also, when I insert a swf file in breeze plug-in for PPT, it
does not play the video or give me the controll by presentation
playbar I checked off. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, could use
some help, thanks.

hi,
if you work with the player component the .flv is not
embedded in the
swf. In Breeze you can only insert a single flash file I
suppose, so the
attached .flv file won't show up.
