Place a GIF in an InDesign SWF?

I have a GIF image that I'm wanting to place in an InDesign SWF file. Is this possible? If not, what probably can accomplish this?
Thanks!

You can place a GIF into an InDesign file. Your InDesign file can be exported to SWF.

  • Analytics in InDesign SWF or Interactive PDF

    I am starting to add video to a SWF newsletter that I make. Is there a way to track how many people view the embedded video?
    If there is does it work with the Interactive PDF option too?

    Don´t place your FLV directly to indesign. Place it to Flash Professional, add tracking code there with ActionScript and export whole thing as SWF. Then place that SWF to indesign.
    If you have audio track in your video, you probably face some issues with hanging sound. You can solve that problem by creating separate killAudio swf snippet in Flash and place it in next and previous spreads with video.... use soundMixer.stopAll(); code in it....
    Here´s a sample where customized video player made in Flash is in use, dummy magazine is exported from indesign:

  • Insert animated gif or flash files (.swf) in Form?

    How can i insert animated gif or flash files (.swf) or another type of animated files in Form?

    If you are web deployed you can put an animated gif as the image to an iconic button.
    Image items cannot display animated gifs.
    Anything else you can do through a JavaBean if you need to.

  • How do I place text from Pages in InDesign

    How do I place text from Pages in InDesign?

    You will need to export the text from Indesign as either .rtf or .doc files and import those.
    You can also cut and paste but I assume you have already tried these options and are not happy with the result, but haven't said why.

  • I want to place an image in my InDesign document that can work with an address like this (\Resources\Thumb) rather than this (C:\Users\JSmith\Desktop\InDesign thumbnail Test\001\Resources\Thumb) is this possible?

    I want to place an image in my InDesign document that can work with an address like this (\Resources\Thumb) rather than this (C:\Users\JSmith\Desktop\InDesign thumbnail Test\001\Resources\Thumb) is this possible? In a nutshell I want to point the link to an image in a directory that uses just part of the address.

    I know this is something you can do in Maya with linked files. I guess InDesign just isn't there yet.
    MW Design -  Yeah I think "Relative paths" is the right term! I want to create a Layout with an image in the center of the page - and then duplicate my folder structure with that file. With that, I want to replace the Linked image file with a diferent image file of the same name. In effect having multiple files of the same layout with different images.  I hope that made sense.  

  • Place multiple pdfs into separate indesign and export to pdf again

    Ok I have a lot of PDFs that I need to place into indesign in their own file, then re-export back as a PDF again.
    Can anyone recommend a script for this if there is one? All the pdfs have different page counts etc. and I don't need to save the Indesign file.
    I just want to put all the PDFs into their own InDesign file and reexport to PDF again. They are all A4 sized PDFs, 210 x 297mm.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks harbs
    I need to Save all the pdfs as RTF, and some of the PDFs have bad tags and won't allow me to save as RTF.
    I can batch process them in Acrobat to Print to PDF and that works for some, but not all the PDFs, it won't print some of them back to PDF.
    I have 100's of these "bad pdfs" and it would be great to be able to place them all into separate indesign files and export out as pdf again. It will be tedious to run the PDF importer and export for all of the files.
    I don't need to save the indesign file, just place and export the pdf again.
    Just looking to automate the process.

  • Attaching preloader to InDesign swf

    I exported an interactive swf from InDesign (content.swf). It is 7MB. I would like to add a preloader. I found a site that offered a recipe but the swf plays through the frames without stoping on the first frame.
    Further research indicated I was using AS2 and that the InDesign swf needs to be address in AS3. I am unable to find how to do this using AS3.
    Any help/recipies would be appreciated.
    Tina
    Here is they structure of the file with the preloader.
    Scene 1
    Layer 1: frame 2: actionscript
    loadMovieNum("content.swf", 10);
    _level10.gotoAndStop(1);
    Layer 2: frame 1: placed movie clip named: preloader
    preloader structure:
    Layer 1 has three frames
    frame 1:
    parent.stop();
    frame 2:
    kBytesLoaded = _parent.getBytesLoaded()/7045928;   
    kBytesTotal = _parent.getBytesTotal()/7045928;   
    kBytesRemaining - kBytesTotal - kBytesLoaded;   
    percentLoaded = 100 * kBytesLoaded / kBytesTotal;   
    percentRemaining = 100 - percentLoaded;   
    progress = percentRemaining;
    loadBar._xScale = percentLoaded;
    frame 3:
    if (percentLoaded < 99){ 
    gotoAndPlay(2);
    } else {
    _parent.play(); 
    stop(); 
    layer 2 has the progress text (progress) and the progress bar (loadBar)

    Since you will be loading AS3 files, you will need an AS3 preloader, otherwise, an AS2 preloader such as what you showed will fail in trying to an AS3 file, which is probably what you encountered in trying it.
    Here's a link to an AS3 preloader tutorial which I believe does what you want... loads the file separately...
    AS3 Preloader

    but just so you aren't fooled by it all... When someone is playing your game, they have already downloaded your game.  So your protection is really only protecting your files against those who are either too lazy or lack the knowledge of how to get the file from their cache.  But some protection is often better than none.

  • I can't place images from Photos into InDesign since updating to Yosemite 10.10.3. Is this an Apple issue or an Adobe one?

    I can't place images from Photos into InDesign since updating to Yosemite 10.10.3. Is this an Apple issue or an Adobe one? It used to be a simple process with iPhoto but not anymore.

    Thanks Steve. I should have mentioned that I’m still using CS6. Wonder if that’s the difference? All I get in the sidebar is Photo Booth which is useless.

  • External SWF in InDesign SWF

    Hi!
    I have been playing around with SWF files exported from InDesign CS5. You can´t write any code there, just use ready-to-use stuff. I just wonder would it be possible to create SWF file with some actionscript in Flash Professional, and place it to InDesign... and use the code there.
    I tried to make a button that would take user to frame 3. I used following code in Flash Professional:
    btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pageturn);
    function pageturn(e){
    MovieClip(parent.parent).gotoAndStop(3);
    Then I exported that file as button.swf and placed it to six page long InDesign document. I exported it as SWF. When it opens, FP recognizes my button but nothing happens when I click it. Any ideas?

    Exactly, there cannot be any code in it. If it did just need a stop, you could stop the loaded swf when the loader is completed. If you need code to run when things are touched in the loaded swf, you could add a listener to the Loader object, and then check what the target name is, and do whatever action needs doing based on what was touched.
    You're able to read frame labels and instance names from the loaded swf, so you'll have to find a way to do what you want with that limitation.

  • New technique to place multiple anchored objects in InDesign story

    Hello,
    For a while I have been trying to figure out how to insert multiple anchored objects into an Indesign story. As far as I can tell, you cannot copy multiple objects that have already been placed in a document (such as a multi-page pdf) into an InDesign story, but must copy and paste them one-by-one into the story. This is a problem for a project I am working on where I want to have a large number of 340x52 pt pdfs to flow throughout a document in a master text frame interspersed with text.
    I have now found a solution for this issue that I thought I would share in case it would be helpful for anyone. It utilizes Automator actions for Mac OS X and Microsoft Word 2011 [2008 may work also, but I don't have a copy of that to test]; I am not good with scripting but perhaps similar solutions could be found for other systems and programs.
    1. If you want to place a multipage pdf within a text frame, first it into individual files for each page (with Acrobat Pro or pdftk or something similiar).
    2. Create an Automator service or program with the action "Create New Word Document". You can also use another automator action to save the document, or save it manually (to change the filename). In the finder, select the items you want, then run the service or drag them into the Automator program you have created.
    3. Place the word document into your InDesign story. Your items will now be anchored objects ordered in your text frame as they were in the finder.
    Please let me know if this is helpful or if anyone has suggestions for doing this process is a more efficient way. I am not sure, but it may be the case that this approach would only work on Macs, as I gather from this thread.

    I might note that I am using InDesign CS 5, and importing from a document stored in docx format.

  • How to create a GIF from inside an SWF?

    I have a Flash application that allows users to arrange
    images, in the form of imported SWF MovieClips, into a scene of
    their choosing. I would like to save these custom scenes into
    static GIF files on the webserver. I'm not sure if this is possible
    solely with ActionScript or if I'd have to do some work with PHP/GD
    or Java, but I have seen it done before (Yahoo! Answer avatars) so
    I know it's possible.
    I'm very new to actionScript. So far I've found the functions
    for dealing with bitmap data but none for file creation. Can anyone
    point me in the right direction? As you may guess, it's hard to
    Google for variations of "flash create gif" because this is also a
    function of the development tools.
    Thank you for your advice and suggestions!

    I'm sorry octav20xx, was there a particular result of that
    search that you thought I should look at? Of the first page of
    results, most are links to utilities for converting SWFs to
    animated GIFs, which as I mentioned is not what I want to do. The
    rest of the results seem irrelevant to my question.
    Perhaps I wasn't clear. I need the SWF to automatically
    generate static GIF files based on dynamic user input. I have
    already done a lot of searching on Google for a solution but found
    none; this is why I am asking here instead.
    Can anyone help?

  • Place specific page of multiple InDesign docs in InDesign?

    Hello.
    I have 100 2-page InDesign documents. I would like to place page #2 of all 100 documents into a new document. I'm placing these documents into InDesign at once (via the ability to place multiple documents), but when I choose "Show Import Options" to select page #2 of the documents, I have to do this one-by-one for each of the 100 documents. Is there a way to apply the import options to all 100 documents, or do I have to do this manually, one at a time?
    I had hoped that if I set the import options for the first file, then deselected import options for the remaining 99 documents (doing a multiple document import), my original import options would stick, but they don't.
    So, hoping someone might know of a better way of doing this rather than having to set the import options for each of the 100 documents I'm importing.
    Thanks,
    Kristin.

    Scott Zanelli's MultiPageImporter (sth like that ) is rumoured to be able to do this. (Read the Comments section.)

  • Help with place a gif file

    Hi All:
    I placeed the picture http://www.cooldtp.cn/bbs/files/image004_202.gif
    into my document in Indesign CS3, but I found that the font color on
    the current page became darker after I placed it, how to resolve this?
    Thanks in advance.

    DO you mean the image was darker, or text it interacts with? If the latter, it's the result of flattening. The text has been converted to outlines when printing or exporting and loses the effect of hinting, which lets text look better at small sizes or at low resolutions. Try moving the text to the top or removing transparency from the image.
    GIF is a poor choice for image format for InDesign. Better to use non-indexed TIF or PSD.
