How to add a flash animation into another flash presentation? Help!!!

I made an animation and I am wanting to add it to a flash portfolio that I am now creating. I am creating the portfolio so I can send it to potential employers. I am new to Flash but not to Illustrator, Photoshop or InDesign. I am adding several different files from those other programs to the porfolio and want to add a few Flash creations also.So how can I easliy bring the Flash animations into the Presentation? I want the animation to play in the same timeline but I don't want to have to recreate the whole thing or recreate the portfolio. What type of file format does the animation need to be to play? Can this be done?

In AS2 you can use loadmovie to load a .swf into another .swf.

Importing Flash Animations Into iWeb...

I noticed that in the few days I have had the privilege of using iWeb, I have noticed that Flash animations that I have created only show up as links on the page, and not actual Flash animations (meaning, when wanting to show the Flash animations on a website, they only show up as a small link, and don't automatically run on the website....
So, my question is this: Does iWeb support Flash animations? If so, how do you import them into iWeb without them simply showing up as links? Thanks in advance for your swift response....

Just any theme download from a site is not enough. The 3rd party themes must be designed specifically for iWeb and, as such, should have an installer included.
Otherwise, start with either the white, black, or formal themes and use graphic files from those themes to create a custom design.

Importing Flash animation into Catalyst

Is Catalyst yet capable of importing and using movie clips made in flash, or it can only use static images on layers from Photoshop and Illustrator? If not, I'd like to say that I really like the idea of making Flash animation movie clips how I usually do, but then being able to utilize them in the Catalyst environment. So for example le't say I want to create rollover animations for buttons, could I make that in Flash and then bring that into Catalyst?
Also, do I need CS4 to use Catalyst? Thanks.

Hi,
Creating transitions in Flash Catalyst does not require writing any ActionScript code. Although animation in Flash Catalyst is most commonly created via state transitions, you can also create animation without states by using an action sequence (which you can trigger from any interaction, just like a state transition).
Here are some video tutorials introducing animation in Flash Catalyst:

Hope that helps!

When importing a flash animation into captivate flash will not call external files

Is there a way to import flash into captivate and it still be able to call external files (ie. sound, video xml)? When I import flash into captivate it will not call any external file.

Hi all
Wow, I was so hoping fellow Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst would pop in on this thread.
Why? Well, Paul sent me a way cool gizmo a while back that hacked the Info button. It used an external file for some of the information! So somehow Paul managed to sort what it took to insert a Flash object into Captivate and have that object extract data from an externally located file.
Cheers... Rick

Importing Flash Animation into Captivate

I am trying to Import an animation from flash 8 into
Captivate. It allows me to do this however the frame rate of the
animation which was created in flash when imported to Captivate
changes. Does anyone know how change the frame rate of the
animation in captivate.

Hi laxmi1 and welcome to the community
Hopefully when you created your Flash animation, you
published as Flash 6 output.
I believe the standard frame rate for Flash is 12. Captivate
is 30. So you can either bump the Flash rate up to 30 and
re-publish, or in Captivate, you can adjust the frame rate to match
Flash and set it for 12. To do this, click Movie >
Preferences... > Preferences tab. From there, it should be quire
obvious what to do.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Centre flash animation into dreamweaver

Hi All,
I am a complete beginner with Dreamweaver, and having great
problems fixing the size of a flash animation I'm playing as an
intro. I have managed to get the animation in and it centred, but
when I tested it on another computer I noticed it had stretched and
for some reason it was possible to minimise the animation by using
the + and - signs whilst in the browser window. How can I prevent
this from happening, so no matter what machine you view from it
keeps the size and position the same.
Any advice will be much appreciated.

You'll probably need to spend time learning how to create things in Flash--maybe try lynda.com. Flash can be used for the animation and mouse interaction revealing text. Once you are able to create the animation in Flash, you can have Flash publish both the swf file, which is what goes into the web page, and an html file. You can copy the code from the Flash html file into the Dreamweaver file wherever you intend the Flash file to be inserted.

Import flash animation into edge animate

Hi,
I need to import a flash vector cartoon style animation into edge animate, do you know how can I do it?
Kind regards,
eugenxi

Hi eugenxi,
You can use the Export Png Sequence feature included with Flash CS6 to export a series of pngs from your symbol animation (tut by Tom Green):
http://layersmagazine.com/png-sequence-from-flash-cs6.html
Then import the pngs to Fireworks, and use John Dunning's plugin to export a symbol directly to Edge Animate:

Flash animation into dreamweaver

hey everyone, i'm new at both flash and dreamweaver and currently have a project combining the two together and i really cant work it out (i'm even using html instead of css haha) :/
Anyway, what i want to do is have a zipper (as in a zipper on ones clothes) on my main page and when someone puts their mouse over the zip, it zips down and reveals the text for that page.
I have gone into photoshop and started editing a zipper at different stages of being pulled down, but am stuck as to how i'd
a) link it together on flash/what type of file to save it as?
b) put the actual code into dreamweaver
c) have it actually working functionally to reveal my text underneath.
thanks in advance for any help, i'd be very appreciative of anyone who could give me some advice

HELP: Flash animations appear "linked" in FrontPage pages

I'm a relatively new user to Flash MX 2004.
I am creating simple UNlinked animations in Flash MX 2004,
then placing them in FrontPage 2003 web pages. Even though these
animations are not linked to any webpages, when placed in a webpage
and viewed in MSIE 6 or Firefox 1.5, the user's cursor turns into a
"hand" whenever he/she hovers over these animations, indicating
that they are linked to something. Once the user clicks on the
animation, the hand goes away. But before being clicked, the
animations appear to be linked AND they show a light "border"
around the animation. The border, like the "hand," goes away after
clicking once on the animation.
How do I get the "hand" and the "border" around the
animations to go away in a FrontPage 2003 designed web page?
Many thanks for your assistance.
Scott

when you hover over active content - i popup tooltip-like
message appears explaing you must click or
press spacebar to activate this control - when you search for
"Activate Control" or "Active Content"
then you will find millions of resources - glad you worked it
out tho.

Turning a layered animation into movie clip

I am a flash newbie so this may be a retarded question. I am
trying to turn a multilayered Flash animation into a movieclip
symbol. I have shapes on different layers that are shape tweened
and many shape hints that go with them. When I go to create a new
symbol and paste my frames the shape hints don't end up in the same
place as the shapes. Is there a way to keep the shapes and hints
together as I copy and paste frames? Is there an easier way to turn
this into a movieclip in the fist place?

Adding flash animation to PE9

A client wants to incorporate a short flash animation into a video I am producing. I was given a SWF and FLV. I imported the SWF, and best I got was a still image. FLV wasn't even recognized. I could swear I had done this with an old version of elements, but perhaps not. I am willing to install a codec or coverter. I'm not picky. I'd rather not just buy Pro 5.5 (I have Pro CS3) if I can avoid it. Any advice would be great!

Steve,
With the Moyea Flash Importer plug-in for PrPro, up to CS3, that program can Import and edit FLV's.
With about the second, or third update for PrPro CS4, full FLV (depends on the exact CODEC used in the FLV - no Sorenson Spark) Import and editing is possible.
I have the Moyea Flash Importer plug-in, and it has worked very well.
Also, there is a utility (cannot recall if it was freeware, or shareware) called FLV to AVI, that has worked pretty well for me, though not nearly so well, as with the Moyea product.
Now, there can be things to consider:
There is no direct plug-in for PrE, and the Premiere plug-in only lists PrPro.
Most FLV's are tiny in their Frame Sizes, so that is a major consideration.
Often, the FPS of FLV's will be lower, so again, another issue.

Presenter does not play Flash animation

Hey.
I've got a problem with the Presenter when trying to incorporate a certain Flash animation into the presentation. The Flash animation is just a collection of spheres who move and collide according to an Action Script Code (AS 1, not 3!). Since the whole animation is dictated by the script, the duration is just 1 frame. When I create the .swf file, it works fine.But as soon as I incorporate it in PowerPoint and export the presentation with the Presenter, the animation shows nothing more but the first frame.
I tried both settings for the .swf managment (managing by presentation - true and false), neither of those worked.
Does anybody have any idea what I can do about this?
Thank you!

Hello Dinindaerrtu - After how many weeeeeeeks. I finally have it working. You are not going to believe what my problem was... BOY! O! BOY!
I might have lost the plot as to what your problem was but let me explain what I did. Off the bat I could not even import an swf and play it in presenter. Nothing worked even although I have done it before. I know your solution was to have it run in one frame. Ok! Ok! I am so excited because I have eventually got it to work ... heee.... with help from Adobe (Kapil ... thanks Kapil). So here it comes... Ready? All I had to do was upgrad my version of Presenter. I must have upgraded my version about 4 times. My current version is 7.0.6 Build 7604.
I created a couple of tests and it works.
I am so holding thumbs that this will sort your problems.
Let me know

How to link flash animations in dreamweaver 8

Hey everyone i have been trying to learn dreamweaver 8, flash
8, and others in a short time. My question is,
I am trying to create a website in dreamweaver 8 but i am
having trouble making a link to another page of the site out of the
flash animation once it's done. I can't find a option for that
anywhere, I was able to link the table in which the animation sits
but it does nothing. For now i just have the word ENTER below the
animation so the rest of the site can be viewed.
here's the link to the site where the animation first page is
www.fatcatzcreative.com
I have spent days trying to figure this out and being the
typical man i have finally broken down and am askin for help.
Thanks in advance to all.

HTML cannot link Flash.
If you want links in Flash, you will have to edit the Flash
file's
actionscript and add the links there.

Add a link to page option with flash animations??

Hello, I see that you have an option for images if you insert an image, you have a link to html page option
But if you insert a flash animation , there is no link option?
as some research i have found that I have to do it i flash itself.
Why did you not create a link option for flash animations? as you have with images, a link option would be great for flash animations also
Is there a code I can do in dreamweaver to link flash animations to a page.
thanks, I dont know why dreamweaver flash animations does not have a link option? please put it in next release
thanks

flash animations not visible on phone devices ? i see flash animations fine from my phone
Don't know what phone you use or if what you're seeing is actually Flash, but Apple iDevices don't support Flash. Never have and never will.
     http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
Adobe has stopped further Flash development for mobile devices in favor of HTML5, CSS3 & JavaScript. See Adobe Edge Preview.
     http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/edge/
Finally, from where I sit, Flash is a fading web technology. But if it floats your boat, feel free to make a feature request.
