.m4a files and Flash

Hi, friends. I would be grateful for any thoughts you have on
this subject.
The sound piece that I need to import into Flash is an .m4a
file. I've never worked with that type of file and am not even sure
why it is an .m4a, since all of the other sound pieces I've created
in Garageband have been saved as .aif.
It looks like I cannot bring an .m4a file into Flash, but I
don't know how to convert it to an mp3. There are some free
converters out there on the Internet, but when I download them I
never know what application to use to open the software. As you can
tell, I'm utterly confused.
This is my first post. I hope it isn't too long or too
convoluted. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

mp3: http://oceanboom.com/podcasts/Oceanboom-Episode-1.mp3
its my site, so lemme know what i need to tell the server guys...
it has pics in the file that you can see if you DL it to iTunes...
also, if you listen to all of it: There is no merchandise section on the site yet, and we are not selling CDs on the site yet, so don't be confused when you hear that in the podcast. I am updating the site to include these features but I had to make the podcast first because I was in Wakayama near my friend's band, and I had to interview them when I had the chance.
thx
PS - why does it automatically DL for windoze? is the server geared towards windows OS?

  • ********.m4a files in FLASH?*******

    Hello folks. I want to know if there are any work arounds for
    playing enhanced podcasts (.m4a) files via an online flash player?
    I want to use this player:
    big contact on
    my flash website. I know it will play audio podcasts no problem but
    it would be great if visitors to my site could enjoy the full
    enhanced podcast without having to necessarily subscribe to the
    feed (for those situations where you don't have full PC privileges
    eg in the library)
    Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place

    You can save a CS3 .fla file to Flash 8 - Just do File >
    Save As and set
    type to Flash 8 document. Of course any AS3 isn't going to
    work...

  • M4A files and Safari

    i have just started making podcasts and i am trying to make mp3 files as well as m4a files.
    when i click on a link to the uploaded m4a file, it just gives me a load of code in my safari browser window, BUT on a windows computer it starts an immediate download because it is recognized as an audio file. mp3 files play and download fine.
    how do i alter the m4a file when i create it to work properly in safari?
    im using ilife 06's garageband to create the m4a file by using the "export to disk" feature ( as opposed to the send to iTunes feature)...
    thx...

  • SWF file and flash player

    Quite a few people said that they cannot see my movie clip
    swf file on their browser even I asked them to go to Flash player
    download center and install the latest flash player.
    I made this file with Flash 8.
    I have read a little bit something about the stand alone
    player which call projector.
    Can anybody tell me why people cannot see my file even they
    installed the flash player 9 and also how can I study about stand
    alone something which I have no idea at all?
    My website is www. theartoftaichi.co.uk. The swf file is the
    black and white ball in the center of the first page .

    Thank you very much for your message.
    But 50% of viewer can open it but others cannot see it even
    they downloaded the Flash player 9.
    I wonder if I am asking them to download the wrong Flash
    player.

  • PSD files and Flash

    Need Help.  I'm new at this.  Bought a flash template website.  I have made text changes in the psd files that came with it. How do I link them back to Flash??  Plus, I need to add a psd file of a logo also.  Many thanks, I am trying to learn this.

    Thanks for getting back in touch with me.
    The flash website folder has 4 folders inside it. "flash", "fonts",
    "html" and "psd".  The psd folder contained the text on the buttons and
    a few other images, that had to be changed.  I made the changes in
    Photoshop and exported them back to the folder.  When I click on the
    psd file in the folder it has the correct changes.  But I can't get it
    into to flash file to review it.
    Like I said, I literally got Flash today and am stumbling terribly.

  • PHP files and Flash contact form

    Hello,
    I am creating a website in flash CS4 and I made a contact form and when I test the site out, I can type and click the submit button, so everything is fine there but it doesn't go to anything. Now I know I need a code to tell the contact form where to go, but I can't find one that works, or I may be doing something wrong.  I also have been reading about PHP but I am not sure what that is. I found a site that said to put this code in the actions panel.
    on(release){
        getURL("http://www.mail.menaceaudio.com", "", "POST");
    The www.mail.menaceaudio.com is the site for the companies email.
    So when I test it out this error comes up:
    1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program.

    The code you show is AS2, not AS3. Try searching for 'as3 form php' and you should find plenty of info.
    PHP is a server-side scripting language. You put PHP files on your server and can then call them from Flash...

  • In Adobe premiere elements 12 it wont let me add a m4a file. It says that "the importer reported a generic error". Please help.

    please help, I need to make a video and cant get in my music.

    tuckey2012
    For background information, what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
    I could ask you for a lot of details to build a troubleshooting plan. However, in this instance with .m4a file and "importer reported a generic error", I am going to cut to what I believe your workflow problem to be.
    You are working with iTunes music. To use them in Premiere Elements (any version), please convert them to .wav file in iTunes.
    To do that....
    a. Open iTunes and go to Music - File Menu/Add File To Library
    b. Edit Menu/Preferences/General and there click on Import Settings
    c. In the Import Settings dialog, go to Import Using and set for WAV Encoder.
    d. OK out of that area.
    In the Music Section/Songs, right click your import, select Create WAV Version
    Then right click the WAV Version, select Copy, and then Paste it to the computer desktop
    from where you import it into Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets
    from where you drag it to one of the audio tracks.
    Please let us know if that works for you.
    Thanks.

  • The constant update of Java and Flash in a managed account

    First off sorry if this question has been answered, I had tried a search and could not find it.  I have a lab of machines (Maverick with managed accounts) that uses Jar files and Flash applets that are downloaded to the desktop.  I would update the machines on a Friday for these internet plugins.  But then another update, either Flash or Java, will roll on the weekend and the browser is useless on Monday because Safari refuses to load the jar file or flash applet and Firefox will download corrupt jar files.  So the students cannot just use one browser.  I would prefer Firefox since it is more forgiving on the flash and allows me to have time till the end of the week to update but now there is an issue of the jar.  How can I make it that the java console and Flash will automatically update in the managed account or allow the person to update only these applications and it would not matter which browser is used?  Is there a way to use Automator for this, I have a feeling it is a no but I want to be sure?  Or is there a way on the firewall to prevent it from checking in the browser for the updates?  This is a little frustrating for there seems to be an update more then two or three times in a month and rendering the machine useless for lab.

    (Released 4/16/2014) Flash Player 13.0.0.201 (Mac only) (44.67 MB)
    That has the fixed Flash 13.0.0.201 plug-in and the debugger. in it. You just need to run the regular installer from that zip file.

  • Maximum Image file size flash can handle?

    Does anyone knows the max image file size flash can load
    using MovieClipLoader?
    I tried 10.5 MB PNG file and Flash thinks it is loaded but,
    the actual image never shows up.
    Thanks,

    Well it is good for that client. But it still won't work in
    Flash. Sorry. You will need to slice the picture into different
    chunks at 2880 x 2880 max and reassemble the tiles in Flash.
    You may also run into an issue that things sometimes get lost
    if there is more that 16,000 (or thereabouts) pixels difference in
    their coordinates.

  • ITunes Server - iTunes does not play .m4a files

    Hello,
    when enableing iTunes server on NSS326 and connecting to it via latest iTunes, connect goes OK (The name of the server changes, but this is a known bug). The music files are displayed, but .m4a Files are not played back. .wav files are played back. .m4a files are played correct via iTunes when accessed via File System. Is there any fix for this?
    Ognian

    Found it,
    looks like iTunes is very sensitiv to the tags info inside the m4a file. Get mp3tag select all m4a files, and hit Save. That's it. mp3tag saves the tags correct.

  • I am trying to Open an SVG file with Flash

    There's a list of programs that open svg files, and Flash was one of them (besides CS5). I know about Inkscape but can't open it with OSX without getting something to run windows (11) and when I went to get that it wasn't available. So I downloaded flash, and it says it's installed but there is no reference to Flash on my computer (except the install pkg). Any ideas??

    You downloaded Flash, or Flash Player?  Flash Player is a web player (browser plugin), not a standalone player.
    Adobe Media Player may do what you want.

  • M4A^^file

    all my downloaded music is unplayable!!! music files have changed into M4A^^files and MP3^^files.i can see them in the hard drive all with strange FADED icons but wont play!my music i ripped from cd's is still ok(MPEG Layer3 Audio Files)but all downloaded music files are arsed up!!
    ....H>E>L>P pls.

    Hi Jeremiah,
    Most likely is that you've misspelt a file or folder name in the path to the m4a file, which is why the server says it can't be found if you enter that URL in the browser. If the URL doesn't point to a valid file it will result in the little round ! in iTunes.
    Another possibility is to check the permissions on the file on the server - make sure it can be read by visitors as the server won't serve it up to you without the right permissions.
    Good luck,
    Greg

  • I converted aif files to mp3 files in I tunes so I could put them on a flash drive.  Now when I transfer an album to the flash drive I get both the aif files and the mp3 files in the flash drive.  How do I get the iTunes to only copy the smaller file?

    My suggestion to use the smart playlist was more along the lines of making one list with rules to show everything in your library as long as it was kind "mpeg" (= mp3).
    Smart playlists cannot be edited manually, only by changing the rules.  You can use them as the basis for another smart playlist though.
    There is added overhead to using smart playlists, so don't go overboard.
