Making a DVD out of Flash file

Okay, I have my movie ready to go. Now, I want to export it to a DVD to play on a computer and/or a DVD player connected to a TV. How on earth do I do that? I have a Flash book, have searched google for hours, and I still do not know how to make my Flash file DVD-compatible. I have the iLife Suite, which includes iDVD and iMovie. I don't know if I need those at all.
I know I could export the movie as a Quicktime file, but when I do that, the vector images that I've put animation to look grainy and there are random lines drawn in during the animation. So I don't want to use Quicktime if I can avoid it. I want to be able to make my Flash file DVD-friendly and keep the same quality.
Can someone PLEASE offer some assitance? I've asked questions on here before and haven't always gotten an answer. I think that's because I've asked some pretty complicated questions. This one seems pretty simple, though. I'm hoping someone can help me. Thank you in advance!

AVI files can used many different CODECs to format the image information. Some 'flavors' of AVI files will work in iDVD with no problems - some won't.
I use VisualHub from http://www.techspansion.com/ to convert MY problem AVI files to DV files for use in iMovie and iDVD.
Your AVI files may be heavily compressed so be aware that DV files run about 13 GB per hour of content.

DVD from multiple flash files shows "loading" across 8/600 swf files

I got tossed into the middle of editing a training dvd that is composed of several swf files. I've made minor edits to content (spelling, grammer, etc), when I re-burn the dvd there are 8 files that display "loading" in blue upon opening (all files do this throughout the dvd) but with these particular files it never goes away. It remains on the screen and visible underneath or behind the text. Nearly 2 months ago, a round of edits was necessary and these same 8 files behaved normally. Three of the eight files were not edited in either round, were fine on the last burn, and are now displaying the "loading" constantly. Would anyone have any suggestions to fix this?

The DVD is throwing a bit of a twist into it. I'm assuming you mean data DVD first off and this is all executable projector based content?
The best thing you can do to start is play the content in the Flash IDE so the debugger has a chance to show you any errors. Load the project and then run the debugger (CTRL/CMD + SHIFT + ENTER) and let us know if you see any errors show up. Chances are you're hitting a snag and it's no longer running code properly.

No matter if it's a Mac or a PC, FireFox refuses to refresh Flash files. Updated Flash files are showing up as old,out dated, Flash files. Is there an issue with the Flash Player PlugIn?

I have created a simple Flash menu for use on multiple site. They all access the same flash file. My original flash file only had a few links and tabs. The new one has more links, and a "LIVE" button at the bottom. But in Fire Fox, those that saw the original can not see the updated version in FireFox. They see it if they use Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, etc. This issue comes up on all operating systems. This issue only occurs with FireFox. I've tried clearing FireFox's Cache but that doesn't seem to be working either.
The Flash File can be found on the left side at this link:

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

Figuring Out Complex Flash Files

I had a complex flash files with all sorts of pictures,
buttons and action scripts given to me by a friend to work on but I
can only view the whole thing in SWF. Although I have MX2004, I am
plodding through an 8 text but still can't figure out the trick of
a) how to view the whole thing play on the Flash palette the
way I did simpler Flash files
b) how to easily see which timelines are connected with which
symbols, buttons, etc
Thanks so much for your assistance

there is no way, complex file is "complex" for a reason, made
of lots of clips,
timelines and action and there is no easy way to view it.
> b) how to easily see which timelines are connected with

> buttons, etc
only by studying the entire file, there is no easy "see" for
timelines connectivity.

Flash File

I'm making a website with a flash file that opens when you
first visit the website and it covers the whole screen, how do i
make this disapear after it plays. Also is there a way to only make
it play the first time someone visits my sit? (only play when home
page is reached first time, not every time the user revisits the
home page). Anything would be a huge help.

Once simple way is to create a copy of your index page call
it home.html and
within the site make the links point at that page. Modify the
flash file for
that page to prevent it from playing. Another way is to use a
preloader
sequence which uses scripting to tell if a movie has been
played ie is it at
frame 1 or frame 100. If at 100 don't play if at 0 do.
Your other problem can be cured within the flash coding as
has been
suggested.
check out the flash and swish scripting forums
cheers

9-scaling issue re-exporting from flash file

Hi,
I seem to have come across a consistent bug which is preventing me from progressing. I am creating assets in Flash which I am exporting as a swc file to be used in a Flex application. I have created a simple scrollbar thumb asset which is basically a rounded cornered rectangle and have added 9 slice lines to ensure the curved areas are outside of the scaling area. I convert the asset to a flex component and export as a swc file. When I test this asset in a simple swc inspector tool (built by one of the devs on my Flex project) I can manipulate the height and width and the 9-scaling works correctly. My problem occurs when I close the originating .fla file and close flash, re-open and without making any changes to the flash file re-export as a swc. When I do this the 9-scaling no longer works!
Has anyone experienced a similar problem? I am running a Mac with CS5 installed, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ed

Its been resolved. Thanks

CE Flash files always start at the beginning?

I have had an online Continuing education course designed,
which has the main contents embedded into .asp pages.
The problem is that when customers "log-out", then return and
"log in" again whithout closing thier browser, the fllash file
always starts at the beginning, rather than where my database
indicates.
I "think" this is caused by the flashplayer plugin "keeping"
the flash file in memory, and starting the "movie" again at the
beginning? Thus if they close thier browser, deleting the flash
file from memory, and re-starting the browser again, and "logging
in" again, it functions correctly, beginning the flash file on the
correct page (which is indicated in the database)
If this IS what is happening, can this be corrected, so that
upon "Log out" the flash file will be automatically removed,
without the need to re-start the browser?

I believe this will work for you. Does for me. Go to SysPref/Speech/Text to Speech. Check box of: Speak selected text when the key is press. Set key. Open the pdf and highlight what you want to hear. Hit key you set. When it's done with it's spiel highlight more text and hit key. It auto erases previous highlight. You'll see. It's not very ideal, but it's what is dealt.

Making an entire website out of Flash

Hi I'm new at Flash CS3 and I'm trying to make an entire
website out of Flash. This is the basic concept of what I am trying
to do
http://www.davidmurrayweddings.com/home.php.
This person's website is kind of like what I want to do with the
menu button and the words that just appear in the middle of the
picture. Now I believe once I make the first page the rest will be
easier.
I have the Flash CS3 for Dummies but it does not seem to help
as much unless I overlooking something. Sorry there was something
else I was curious on making and that is a side bar where
thumbnails of pictures are where when you bring the mouse over it
the full picture shows up in the middle. ANY help would be greatly
helpful thanks.

After burning a successful DVD in iDVD out of FCPX, how can I see the settings it used?
So I finally burned a DVD out of a Apple Pro Res file into iDVD in PAL format. My question now is how can I find out what the exact burn properties were so that I can apply the same burn properties to a project in Compressor 4?
Is it possible to see what iDVD did?

I don't know any way you can interrogate iDVD to reveal settings to the extent that you can in a Compressor project. What you could do is open up the show's VOB in MPEG STreamclip, go to File and Reveal Stream Information; that will at least give you some rudimentary info like average bit rate. Perhaps someone, with more iDVD experience, can chime in here.
The broader question is why use Compressor at all if your current workflow is doing the job to your satisfaction?
The value of Compressor is that it gives you control over the many parameters that affect size quality. and playability. The Compressor presets can give you a starting point for DVD delivery, Web, etc. From those presets, people typically experiment by adjusting the parameters until they get the desired results for their specific show. It's a little bit science and a little bit art. After experimenting, you may be able to get slightly better quality for the project you've successfully burned in iDVD by using Compressor and something likeToast…or maybe not.
Good luck.

Is there a way to import a flash file to an iphone so I could continue to listen to my course and view the power point presentation at the same time? i.e.file source from a DVD?

Got an iphone 4s and would like to know if there's a way to import files from a DVD source to my phone. I am able to transfer the audio files through iTunes. Is there a way to transfer the flash file that contains the animated slides. Is there an app that I could buy so I could view this on my iphone? Thanks!

No. You would have to convert it to a video format that your phone can handle, then sync it over and view the video. I'm sure there are ways to do this, but I don't have direct experience with them as I have no use for flash content.

What kind of Macromedia Flash Files Can I Import into DVD Studio Pro 4 ?

Hello there,
I have this silly question for you guys but I read
the Technical Specifications of DVD Studio Pro 4
at this link
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/dvdstudiopro/specs.html
it has under import
** Macromedia Flash 5 **
So I tryed to import a swf file into my project and I'm getting an incompatible file error message.
Do I have to do something with my flash file (ie: omit Action Script) or It's not posible to import a file from flash?
thank you Very Much
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I am having the same issue. I am new to compressor and DVD studio so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong.
I just compressed a 20 minute video in the 90 minute best SD compressor format. The file name end with .compressor. When I try drag the file from the finder into the assets window of compressor, I get a dialog box that says: incompatible format. How annoying!

Making a button to reset a flash file

Is it possible to make some kind of clickable object that resets a flash file? Say you're in a game and your character gets killed. By clicking on a button you you're taken back to the start of the flash file and all the variable reset to their starting positions. Basically I just want to make a button that reloads the flash file the same as hitting the reload button on your browser (except that it just reloads the flash file and not the entire web page).

you can use:
yourbutton.onRelease=function(){
loadMovieNum("thisswf.swf",0);

Can I embed fonts of all Dynamic Text objects in a Flash file?

Hi there!
I'm fairly new to Flash, so please bear with me.
I have created a Flash file which will act as our company's standard presentation / portfolio of all previous projects. I've pretty much got it running the way I want, but I've just tried it on a few different computers and realised that the fonts aren't embedded. I've used our corporate font so it needs to look right. Having read the following documentation (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Liv eDocs_Parts&file=00000893.html) I now understand how to embed fonts for one dynamic text object at a time. However, I have a lot of different dynamic text objects in the file and I would dearly love to embed them all in one step! The same embedding options can be applied to just about all objects, as they're all the same size and font.
I hope someone can help me. If you are able to help please spell things out in simple steps!! I am aware that I probably haven't yet grasped a number of the basics of Flash.
Thanks in advance,
Stuart

Static text doesn't need to be embeded. So I'm not sure what the problem you are having is. The page you linked to is for making an embedded font in your library that can then be exported for actionscript and used by code and style sheets. If you are following the instructions on the page you liked to you only need to do that once. Which shouldn't be too hard.
That is usually a different problem that having a bunch of different authortime created textfields that need to have characters embedded.
As far as I know your only hope to change a bunch of authortime/library items is using JSFL. So even if the thing I pointed to isn't exactly what you need you could keep googling a bit or use that as a template.
JSFL files are just text files so open it in note pad. Look for the line:
if(it[i].itemType == "movie clip")
and change it to this:
if(it[i].itemType == "movie clip" || it[i].itemType=="button")
Now it does buttons. You give up too easy.

White screen with flashing file icon with question mark mean

What does this mean. We are getting a white screen with flashing file icon with question mark inside the file.

It almost certainly means it can't find a bootable volume (one with OS X on it).
Which means most likely you will have to find your original system installation DVD and install it. Then you should figure out what caused the problem.
Read this to diagnose it before resorting to reinstalling the OS:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440
Excerpt:
Additional steps
If your Mac still starts to a flashing question mark, follow the steps below. If any step resolves the issue, you don't need to continue to the next one.
Select your Mac OS X startup disk with Startup Manager by restarting and holding the Option key. After your Mac starts up, restart again to verify that the flashing question mark does not appear.
If the issue persists, insert your Mac OS X installation disc. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc.
MacBook Air note: On a MacBook Air, there are two options for starting up from Mac OS X media: Either connect a MacBook Air SuperDrive to the MacBook Air via the USB port and restart the computer, holding down the C key during startup, or use Remote Install Mac OS X to startup from a system software DVD that's located on a partner computer. Once started up from Mac OS X media, skip to step 3.
Restart the computer, then hold the C key during startup.
From the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility. Don't click Continue.
Select your Mac OS X disk (named "Macintosh HD" by default) in the left side of the Disk Utility window.
Click the First Aid tab.
Click Repair Disk to verify and repair any issues with your Mac OS X startup disk.
After repairing the disk, try to start up normally.
Important: If Disk Utility finds issues it cannot repair, you may need to back up as much of your data as possible (or use Time Machine to back up to a different disk), then erase the disk and reinstall Mac OS X. You should back up important files and data before erasing a drive. Erasing deletes everything on the hard disk (including things on your desktop). Also, you can install Mac OS X onto an external disk, start from the external disk, and use Migration Assistant to transfer items from your usual internal Mac OS X startup disk to the external disk, then erase the internal disk and reinstall Mac OS X.
If the issue persists, and Disk Utility didn't find any irreparable issues, quit Disk Utility, quit the Installer, select your disk when prompted, and restart.
If the issue continues, reset PRAM. Note: After resetting PRAM, if the computer starts up normally, reselect the startup disk in the Startup Disk preferences.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, start up from the Mac OS X Installation disc and reinstall Mac OS X.
