Playback of sounds from flash movie files in authorware

Ive imported a flash movie file into authorware but the sound
is not playing back. In flash, I created a movie that includes
graphics and sounds. The movie plays perfectly when I open the
flash player but it doesnt play when imported into Authorware. Ive
tried publishing the flash file as quicktime but had a problem with
the handler on my computer. Does anyone have any
suggestions?

If you click the 'Options' button on the Property panel for
the Flash
movie, is the 'Playback > Sound' checkbox actually checked
in the
resulting dialog box?
When published as QT, what does 'had a problem with the
handler on my
computer' mean? Do you have QT installed on the playback
machine? Are
you using Insert > Media > Quicktime?

Obtaining the full file path specification from Flash Movie and QuickTime icons?

How do you obtain the full file path specification from Flash
Movie and QuickTime icons? I want the path and the file name that
is contained in these icons. I am using a "dive" to run through the
icons of a file, and when I come upon these two types of icons, I
want to obtain the above information that is contained in them. I
certainly can look in the property dialog box to get this info, but
there are many icons in these files, and I want to generate a list
of info based upon the various types of icons that I am processing.
Thanks

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.

Launching FW from Flash Movie

Is there a way to launch FW from Flash Movie when user
presses a buttons?
Bascially, when user clicks a button in Flash Movie, FW
launches and execute some scripts.
Thanks,

Not a Flash expert, but I don't think so. Why do you want to
do this?

Export a Flash Movie File

Can you Export Flash Movie files to other formats?? Don see
an Export to other File options.
Would like to Export a Flash Movie or SWF file to a Quicktime
or IPOD MPEG File.
Anyone know where to do this? Do not see an Export to File
option to that Format on Flash Pro CS.
Thanks

Without seeing your movie, its difficult to tell where the
problem may be. My first guess is that the data rate is to high.
You will probably need to choke that back in some way: lower the
data rate for the compressor, reduce the frame rate, reduce the
image size, reduce the color depth, etc.
When you select to export to QT, for example, a new window
opens to let you select some basic settings. At the lower right of
that window is a button titled "Quicktime Settings...". Click that
button and a new window will open that will allow you to set the
compressor, frame rate, quality, etc.

Hi everybody, I am trying to create a DVD pal without menu with the program iDVD from a .mov file. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

Hi everybody, I am trying to create a DVD pal without menu with the program iDVD from a .mov file. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

(From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
Hope this helps!

Avatars from flash movies

Hi!
I want to create an application that creates small avatars from flash movies. How to solve this task better? It seems that I should receive each change of flash movie...

This forum is about C++ programming in general, and using the Solaris Studio C++ compiler for Solaris and Linux in particular.
I think you are more likely to find an answer in a forum about using Flash. Try adobe.com.

Accessing movie clip from flash swf file

I have the situation where in flash i created a simple
animated movie clip with few stop() commands on timeline. Movie
clip consists of simple animatio played on roll over and on roll
out which is controlled using actionscript. I loaded movie clip
into flash using [embed] tag but actionscript code is stripped,
there is no stop() action so movie clip loops continously. I guess
that's normal behaviour for embedded flash swf files but i would
like to know is there a way to still achieve that? Can i load swf
some other way with its actionscript and then control movie clip
from flex?

You need the FLA's to open in Flash.
You could download the free trial of a flash decompiler
(www.sothink.com). The free trial won't give you actionscript, but
it will give you all of the art in the swf.

Problem downloading files from flash movie?

For some reason, on my Mac Book Pro (running OSX 10.5.4) I am unable to download a file from a flash movie (.swf). All other macs in the office are capable, and I can download files from other sources, just not from a flash movie. It allows me to choose where to save the file, but when the download starts, the progress bar remains at 0%.
Does anyone know what causes this?

There's no such thing as Final Cut HD 5.0.4. If what you really have is Final Cut Pro 5.0.4, then you should be able to capture and edit HDV. But, you haven't told us what camcordr you have, so it's difficult to help.
The usual procdure for resolving this situation looks something like this:
1) With the camcorder powered on and connected, open System Profiler, and see if it sees the camcorder. (SP is in the /Applications/Utilities folder.)
2) If SP sees it, then with FCP not running, power down the camcorder, then start Final Cut again. When the window opens saying FCP can't find your HDV device, power on the camcorder and click continue. Try it again.
3) If Log & Capture doesn't see it, then Quit FCP, shut down the Mac, power down the camcorder. Wait 20 seconds. Power up the camcorder, boot up again, open FCP & try it.
4) If L&C still doesn't see it, then trash your FCP preferences, and try it again.
5) Report back here.
EDIT: You are using the HDV Easy Setup, aren't you?

No sound in Flash movies

About 2 weeks ago, I noticed that linked YouTube videos that
I had previously watched and listened to suddenly had no sound. A
little more investigation showed me that no flash videos had sound
any more. I've reinstalled several times, including both OS X
versions. I've used the uninstaller (which, by the way, does not
delete all of the Flash files in the Library folder). I've
reinstalled all of my browsers. No online Flash movie from any
source has sound on any browser.
Can anyone help?

I just reinstalled my system with XP SP2 and found that sound
in Macromedia Flash player (version 9) wasn’t working. I
compared it to another machine and found out that - for some
obscure reason - the wavemapper mapping was missing.
I tried reinstalling other versions of the Flash player, but
to no success … So I added the mapping myself via the
registry.
Go to the following sweetspot in your registry:
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32
Create a new String value named “wavemapper“. As
value give it “msacm32.drv“.
And that’s it, no restart necessary, all your Flash
embedded videos will have sound again :)

How can I get my sound from Flash CC into After Effects?

I have been using Flash to animate for years. I have upgraded from Flash 8 to Flash CC. I had been animating and then exporting the video part, (swf.), and sound (wav) separately, and then bringing them into After Effects already as synced files.
That option is no longer available in Flash CC. What can I do? (I am really considering Toon Boom after this project).

Haven't tried this, but you should be able to export a video file containing only the sound track from within Flash. Just turn off all the other layers. Also, although you are probably aware of this, Adobe claims that Flash CC now exports video without the bugs that plagued earlier versions. Then you should move to Toon Boom, it has its own headaches, but at least it's a real animation program.

Using sound from one Movie in another one

I have one animation movie and I want the sounds from that one on another version of the movie (another file). How can I export or copy these sounds?

Share your Project using SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME... and choose an audio only codec like AIFF. This will give you a sound file that you can use elsewhere.

Sound glitches in .MOV files.

I hope that this is the right place for this question - if it's not, please feel free to point me in the right direction.
I've recently started having trouble playing .MOV files, both from my hard drive and web pages. The video works fine, but the sound pops and stutters. This occurs on a variety of players, namely the Quicktime player and Media Player Classic. Windows Media Player and Zoom Player refuse to play them at all.
In addition to this, Max Payne and Max Payne 2 have extremely garbled in-game speech, in much the same manner as .MOV files.
My sound card is a C-Media CM8338, with the latest drivers. Would getting a newer card help? How about reinstalling Windows? Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Hi thanks! I didn't think they could fix such problems, should have thought of this myself! sorry *Feel embarrassed now* lol I've reported all of the relevant vids, just hope they help me! Thanks again!

No sound from iTunes movie download, while playing on appletv, iPad, or other

Downloaded a movie from iTunes.
The video is fine; it displays on all iOS devices.
However there is no sound while being played on any iOS device, appletv, iPad, iPad mini, iPhone, etc.
How do I request another download that contains audio?
Thanks,
Dave

Howdy, ashkimber!
It sounds like the iPad may have been muted.
The following explains how to determine if it has, and also how to un-mute it.
For what it's worth, this setting does only affect certain applications, and having it 'muted' will not mute ALL output from the iPad.
iPad: Understanding the side switch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4085
Mute
When you mute your iPad, only certain sounds are muted.
Sounds such as alerts, notifications, sound effects, and game audio are muted.
Media playback (such as music, podcasts, movies, videos, and TV shows) are not muted.
