Narration for Flash movie

I am trying to record a narration for a Flash movie and I can't get it done with GB. I'm thinking this is because I'm a new Mac user. Any suggestions how I might do this. Flash can import audio files in AIFF, WAV and MP3.
iMac & MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If you delete or hide the PodCast track, what you "Share to iTUnes" will be an AIFF file.

Title for Flash movie (Swf file)

Hi
I want to add any title for my flash movie, As we can add any
title in HTML page with "title tag".
Usually the file name of flash file show as title like
"abc.swf"
but i want here another title like " Welcome to my xyz"
anything else....
Can anybody help me getting its solution....

Wishing to do the same thing, I've explored this with Macromedia. It appears to be a licensing problem for the Flash 5 engine. Macromedia wants a commitment of several thousand dollars (like close to 6 figures) to license the engine for an application. That's for a single applicaiton, and not a generic toolkit like JMF. I assume Sun found the same thing and balked, understandably.

Browser scrollbar for Flash movie?

The webpage for my Flash movie does not have scrollbars. On
most of the frames (I did each site page as a named frame in a
single timeline) it doesn't matter, but there is one frame where
the content stretches the full 900 px tall and you can not scroll
down.
I'm afraid I also have complicated things because the client
said he wanted everything, the whole site, 10% bigger... so I set
the movie width and height as 110% in the HTML. (Suggestions on
this are appreciated, too!)
I'm worried that if I somehow add scrollbars, it will want to
add a horizontal scrollbar to the bottom too.
I was wondering if I could add a Flash scrollbar (if it
worked with scrolling mice, that would be bonus) just on that page,
and have it appear exactly at the right edge of the browser window
and smartly sense how tall to be. Would I have to load it as a
separate movie? Any suggestions are ever so much appreciated!

Nevermind... I found out his Flash Player was WIN 9,0,47,0
while everyone else is WIN 9,0,124,0 . He upgraded & it is
working.

Export for flash-movie file conversion.

I want to prepare files for the highest quality possible for conversion to flash-movie files. I recorded in HDV- edited in HDV- send to Color in HDV- and now my question is if I should send it to FCP from Color in 10 bit-uncompressed to keep the highest quality?
Also at the end exporting from FCP- should I change my sequence settings? Again I need the very highest quality for later conversion to a flash-movie file, and was told that uncompressed is the way to go??
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks- Adam.

"Keeping" the quality isn't really the issue-- if you're working in HDV, there's nothing to gain by going to Uncompressed, because you weren't working in Uncompressed in the first place. The exception to this is color grading and graphics: ideally, you would be working in a higher quality sequence such as ProRes (Uncompressed is probably overkill) in both FCP and Color.
Of course, I can't honestly say that any of this will make a difference in a Flash movie-- Flash is for web delivery, and to bring it down to a bitrate suitable for the web, you'll likely lose anything you might have gained from this process.

Back button & Replay button for Flash movie on website

Three questions all related:
1. I need to add a "Back" and a "Replay" button to a Flash movie that plays full screen when the link is clicked on a website. I have created the two buttons and placed them on the stage. I've given them the names back_btn and play_btn. I've tried several scripts from postings on the Forum for the replay button but all of them come up with errors such as, "1119: Access of possibly undefined property onRelease through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton" when I use this script:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function()
play();
I also tried this script:
stop();
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
function playMovie(event)
play();
It didn't report any errors, but it didn't work.
2. I saw a posting that said one needs to name the movie clip and reference it in the script. Would this be the file name of the movie after it is exported? I am unclear on this.
3. For the "Back" button, would I include the whole url to get the viewers back to the previous page or is there a shortcut way to get them back there?
If you can help, please provide detailed script as I do not know Action script.
Thank you,
Marilyn

Hi, Ned:
I have a presentation completed that is already up on a website and now I need the "Back" button and "Replay" button, so whether I'm ready or not, I have to find a solution. I know I'm missing some important step. I have Lynda.com and I can usually figure out what's wrong with the lessons on there, but this one has me stumped.
I did try the code change you sent and I was unable to get the movie to replay. I'm attaching two screen shots so you'll see that I did have the button instance named properly and the Action Script correctly written. You can "Ctrl" "Scroll" to enlarge the images on your screen.

Creating Hyperlink for Flash Movie

Hi Guys
I have just created a flash movie. I have inserted the flash
into dreamweaver and when somebody clicks on the movie I want it to
take them to a certain page. If possible could I send you the .fla
file and you can send it back with it all linked up as I have been
getting annoyed with this all morning.
Thanks

Easy enough, once you know how to proceed. :)

It's possible, sure -- but that goes agains the grain (and
benefit) of
why these forums are here. A dozen other people may have a
question similar
to yours, and by participating in a public conversation about
it -- and also
working it through publicly -- you not only learn a knew
skill, but
onlookers can learn it as well.
If you want the whole Flash movie to respond to a click, you
can either
create a so-called invisible button that matches the
dimensions of the whole
movie, then set that above all other layers, or you can code
your movie to
respond to mouse clicks globally.
The invisible button approach usually seems easier to
newcomers, but
neither techniques is especially difficult. What version of
the Flash
Player are you publishing to? (Most importantly, what version
of
ActionScript?)

Playback buttons for flash movie

Hello, im having some difficulty adding a play, pause and
stop button to a movie I imported into flash.
The movie was imported using the import wizard in flash 8. I
did not add a skin because when I tried adding it , the skin would
not show through once I imported the finished swf file in
Trainersoft. ONly the movie would come through. So, then I decided
to add my own playback buttons to the movie. I imported the movie
again using the import wizard, i did not select a skin. The movie
was imported fine into flash. I added a play, pause and stop
buttons as new symbols each in their own layer. I added the correct
action scripting to the buttons, i preview movie and the buttons
appear correctly but nothing happens when I click each of the
buttons, the movie keeps playing without reacting to me clicking on
either the pause or stop button, or the play button.
Here is thte scripting im using.
For Play: on (release) {
myButton.onrelease = function() {
trace("onrelease called");
on (release) {
play();
For Pause:
on (release) {
myButton.onrelease = function() {
trace("onrelease called");
on (release) {
stop();
For Stop
on (release) {
" Movie".gotoAndStop (1) ;
I would love to hear from someone to help me out. Thank
you!!

First, create your play button. Click on it, and open up the
Properties Panel (Shift + F3). Type in:
play_btn for the <Instance Name>.
Then, create a new Layer in your Flash file, called Actions.
Click on the first frame of the Actions layer, and open up the
Actions panel (F9).
Type in:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function(){
play();
}

Code for flash movie not working?

ok, I have searched hi and low for this and found lots of great info from Wyodor on this forum but I just cannot get this to work! I have tried the code, replaced the paths and sizes relative, I have everything (swf flv) in the same directory on my server (not mobileme) but still nothing. All I see when I visit site is a grey box. What am I missing? It seems pretty straight forward. Please help! Thank you

The URL appears in two places in the code. The most important one is after
<embed src=
Enter the URL to your flash file into the browser and it should play full screen on a page of its own if it is correct.

Kiosk mode for Flash movies?

I know Flash usually optimizes projects to be as compact and
web-friendly as possible. But I only deal with kiosk type projects
that play from a local hard drive with a really beefy host systems
(quad core, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD, Nvidia 8800). Is there a setting
where I can tell my SWFs to eat up gobs of memory and CPU cycles to
ensure the smoothest playback and performance?

It is also advisable to turn off, somehow, using ActionScript
the "video smoothing" feature of the Flash Plugin, since it may
result in huge frame-dropping of the movie, during full-screen
playback.
The need to remove this feature is raised, if you use
"hardware scaling". "Hardware scaling" works fast with "video
smoothing" enabled and plays-back the video without frame-dropping.
"Video smoothing" is the main reason why most of the Flash
Video players cannot play-back smoothly HD content.
Also make sure that the video plays-back in the original
dimensions of the video and not scaled to any other dimensions (eg,
don't scale a 4:3 video to 16:9 or to "fit to screen").
Also, the resize factor of the video in full-screen mode
should be an integer, absolutely dividable by 4:3 or 16:9 or
whatever the original scale of the video is, so the video in
full-screen is not stretched to a different scale factor (eg scaled
to 4.1 : 3), even by 1-2 pixels. This will be like doing real-tme
video editing and it also results in frame-dropping.
I know this info from our company's Flash Developer, so this
is as far as my knowledge goes; I am unable to provide any other
accurate technical information or code you may use. I am also
making it clear that this info may or may not be 100% accurate, as
I am not proficient in Flash and I may have not understood right
some info passed to me by our Developer. You may use this info to
make your own research on the matter.

Including a Flash movie within a template

Hi,
I've put a Flash banner into a template and saved it. The
actual template works fine when i check it in the browser but all
the pages that are attached to the template just have a white space
where the banner should be.
Do templates not allow for flash movies?

No. I mean to make the link so that it's relative to the ROOT
of the site,
e.g.,
/flash/whatever.swf
rather than relative to the template document, e.g.,
../flash/whatever.swf
The former link will be functional on any page in any
location in your site,
since it always starts the path at the root of the site. The
latter link
will *only* work from the template page and not from any
particular child
page.

I want to add Narration to my movies. I've watched the Elements Guided Help for Narration, and closely followed their procedure. But when I click the RECORD tab, I get an error message. "Your current audio hardware selection dos not have any input channels." My question, therefore: Do I need to buy an external microphone? I have an HP Pavilion Laptop, running WIndows 8.1. I thought I had a built-in microphone. But ,maybe not. Please help. Also, WHAT KIND of microphone - exactly - should I buy? Thanks for your help.

Go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and ASIO tab and click on it.
Under the Input tab, make sure that you have your microphone selected.
Please let us know the outcome.

Linking for a flash movie

I am using the Adobe work around for the "click to activate"
issue, and the flash movie that I want to launch is going to be
launched from a link.
here is what I have:
javascript:
function demo()
document.write('<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
height="200">\n');
document.write('<param name="movie" value="demo.swf"
/>\n');
document.write('<param name="quality" value="high"
/>\n');
document.write('<embed
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="demo.swf"
height="200"></embed>\n');
document.write('</object>\n');
and the link looks like this:
<a href="javascript:demo()" target="_blank">View Demo
here</a>
what am I doing wrong? the window launchs, but the movie
won't play
I need help with this immediately as it has to go live this
afternoon!!!!!

Can you show us what you have tried? Which version of Flash
are you using? Which version of Actionscript?

Flash Animations and Movies are lagging after having played a flash game which was graphics intense heavy and frequently refreshed which caused lags, how can I fix this lagging problem for Flash?

On June 30th, I was playing a game called Lil Einstein's Manhattan project over at Newgrounds.com and the game although fine at first, later on in the advanced levels of the game, started to cause my browser to lag intensely and heavily. Now, when I try and watch other flash movies and animations, the flash doesn't run as smoothly, there are skips in the flash animations and movies, and it slows down.
I tried scan disks, I tried defragmenting my computer, I tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox.. Nothing worked to restore the Flash.
But when I view Flash movies and animations on Internet Explorer, they run fine... but not anymore on Firefox.
Other Firefox users who have played this game also reported problems as well..
How can I fix my Firefox Browser and return the Flash running to normal?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== June 30th, 2010

If you have already scanned PC with an updated Anti-Virus and still the issue exists then I would suggest some troubleshooting techniques to resolve this problem:
Update browser
Remove unwanted Add-ons
Remove unwanted Tool-bars
Repair Registry
Repair ActiveX objects and shared DLLs
In case of facebook and Zynga I would suggest to Check for Problems with your Internet Connection.Try to Update Java and Reduce the Number of Running Internet Applications.
Sometimes Multimedia content lag due to Hardware Acceleration, so disabling Hardware Acceleration should fix your problem.
Open Flash Video in browser
Right click on Video Player | Settings
Open Display Panel
Uncheck Enable Hardware Acceleration
If issue still exists then you can find some more techniques described in detail here:

Best way to export flash movie for JAVA

Here is my dilema. I get all kinds of flash movies to post to our site. I had been asking for a final output of .swf, whenever possible. Occassionally I get some videos that have a player and I wind up with .swf and some related FLV files, which we always have problems with in our JAVA environment. We have issues locating the player files, sometimes they don't play for people with particular browsers etc.. The coders tell me that it is a problem with the "base" locations, and recommend that we get a single swf file and have the videos and players embedded into the .swf. They tell me that the browser sometimes cannot find the supporting files, and that it forces them to post the flash files on the root directory. Any ideas what might be happening here?
One other thing - I currently have an embedded swf file on one of our sites. It seems pretty heavy and skips - our Flash Developer did not include a loader. I sent it back to him to compress the file and include the swf. The developer is telling me that compressing the file won't do anything for me an that we should export it as an FLV file or have the FLV load into the swf. For one thing this is not a video - so I am not understanding why we would need an FLV. Am I misunderstanding something here.
Thanks!

Thanks again Winston. (You helped me out in the past).
In my playing around, I was leaning toward AIC with a compressor pre-set of 1080i or p would give me decent results on export. I'm still a little confused over a number of the other options, and this seemed simplistic. (I'm still learning here as I go).
One question on that though if you would. Am I best off leaving the FPS settings to current? I am assuming I can experiment with that if I want to keep a computer copy, but for back to tape purposes, that seems to make sense to my simple mind.
On a side note, I was quite surprised at how good the default "large" export looks when viewed on the computer. I may keep that as my default for iTunes\Front Row.
Thanks again.

Flash type movie controller for Quicktime movies.

I plan on changing flash movies to Quicktime movies on some websites I manage so that they will play on iPads and iPhones but I want a movie controller that disappears when the cursor is not over the movie and I want a movie controller that is semi transparent like flash movie skins. All I get is the same "old" controller that has been on Quicktime movies for 15 years. How do it?

Here's my implementation of the HTML5 videos :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Movies/sublime/
http://www.wyodor.net/_Movies/sublime/camendesign/
http://www.wyodor.net/_Movies/sublime/camendesign/compact.html
Look at the source to see how it's done.
Camendesign defaults from *HTML5 MP4* to *HTML5 OGG* to QuickTime to Flash.
The compact.html page is my implementation. It's the easiest to understand and does not use JavaScript.
