Porting/converting an interactive DVD to Flash/SWF/FLV?

Is it possible to make a complete mirror port or conversion of an existing interactive DVD to Flash (swf+flv) so that I can put it online and interact with it with my mouse through a flash enabled browser, just like were running on a DVD player, with all the existing interactivity (menus, chapters) intact? I know about Adobe Encore CS4:
http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/e... (See "Publishing of DVD projects to the web")
but I can't see that you can import an exisiting DVD into Encore. You would first have to build your own menus, chapters, timeline, etc., then you could export it to Flash...
If this is not possible in Encore CS4, how can I do this? Thanks

It's not possible with Encore - you must have an Encore project, and DVD is not an importable source in Encore.
I don't know if there is even any software in existence which could do what you are asking.

Creating a DVD from flash movies (flv)

Does iDVD 6 support flash movies (flv) importing?

Does iDVD 6 support flash movies (flv) importing?
No. You could probably convert the files to DV video (which is supported) using VisualHub at http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/
You can try it for free.
Keep in mind that the DV files will be MUCH larger. DV runs about 12 to 13 GB per hour of content.

Flex swf loaded in Flash swf

Hi,
I have a Flex swf loaded into a Flash swf.
I have made the Flex swf transparent, so that the buttons in the Flash swf are visible.
But im unable to interact with the Flash swf buttons.
My Flex swf is working happyily
The Flex swf overlays the Flash swf.
If i change the scrollRect of the Flex swf so the Flex swf is not overlaying the Flash swf i can successfully interact with the Flash swf buttons.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Kyle

Thanks Alex,
I actually found an old post on a forum where you recommended a similar solution (mousesheld.visible = false).
This seems to work although it messes with dragging (my Popups at least).
But i can work with that for now, thanks for your help.
Regards,
Kyle

Convert mpeg or avi to flash video for Web

Hello,
I wanted to know how can you upload a mpeg, avi, or wmw to a
website and convert it to a flash video file? What software is
involved? What is the easiest method for doing this? Is there a tut
out there or a book that details this method?
Thanks,

hi, for your situation, you would expect a video converter software, to convert avi or mpeg to flash video (.flv) for web. You probably know that there are plenty of free video converter out online. like Sothink Free Video Converter which I used for while, and I am sure it supports FLV video conversion. you could have a try.

Converting Flash/SWF to HTML5

I.
Following Ned's advice I'm posting this message on Dreamweaver's forum (after posting it in the Flash/Actionscript 3 forum).
I'm not a programmer, so this question might sound a bit noobish.
I have this flash project with an advanced button - here's the code:
portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,btnOver);
portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,btnOut);
portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickPortfolioToGoToWebPage);
function btnOver(event:MouseEvent)
    event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("Rollover");
function btnOut(event:MouseEvent)
    event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("Rollout");
function clickPortfolioToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void
    event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("ClickPortfolio");
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.fudzilla.com/"), "_blank");
In order to comply with the HTML5/CSS3 "new standards", I converted the swf file to HTML5 with Google Swiffy. The problem was that it doesn't support Actionscript 3, so it was converted as a looping movie. Question: Is it even possible to retain the Mouse events? Or do I have to make a HTML5 for the Rollover, another one for the Rollout and one for the Click? Again, I'm not a programmer.
Forgive my noobish remarks...
***** UPDATE: I got the code and downgraded to Actionscript 2.0 and it worked. *****
One question though: is this good practice? Creating my animations in Flash AS2 and then converting the SWF file to HTML5 using a SWF/HTML5 converter? Will I have any problems? I suppose it's not an elegant way of doing it...

Hi
If you want your animations to work on HTML5 devices including mobile devices, one solution is to convert the flash content to video and use the HTML5 <video> tag to embed the video on a webpage.
Of course this works only if your content is non-interactive.
FLABACO (www.Flash-Banner-Converter.com) is a Free, online tool which converts Flash (SWF) to video. It generates excellent quality video which can be used with HTML5 to work on all HTML5 devices / mobile devices.

Problème interaction d'un fichier swf dans flash cs5

Bonjour à tous,
Je viens vous demander de l'aide après des journées entières à me torturer les méninges sur flash...
Je souhaite faire une animation intéractive, dans l'idée de cliquer sur un bouton et ça lance une anim que j'ai pré-réalisée sur flash.
J'ai fais mon bouton convertit en clip puis j'ai importé mon fichier swf (qui est l'animation que je veux lancer). Or en cherchant et en essayant un peu tout, je ne trouve pas quel code entrer pour que ce bouton devienne interactif et lance mon .swf (présent dans la bibliothèque).
Je ne sais pas si j'ai réussi à être claire, n'hésitez pas à me demander des précisions...
Je vous remercie par avance de vos réponses,

En As3 la syntaxe est un chouya plus complexe à mettre en œuvre qu'en As2
Pour me faciliter la vie, j'utilise menu Fenêtres/Fragments de code, ce qui donne un code compréhensible, documenté et éditable.
Mon anim comporte 2 frames :
La première contient 1 bouton nommé "boutonNext"
La seconde comporte l'anim swf posée sur la scène.
Enfin, un calque nommé Actions a été créé directement par les fragments de code.
Tout d'abord un "stop" pour que ma scène reste sur la première image, avec le bouton, puis un gestionnaire de "Mouse Click" pour que le boutonNext ait une action.
Ci dessous le code et les fichiers joints (As2 et As3)
/* Arrêter la lecture à partir de cette image
Le scénario Flash arrête/met en pause la lecture à partir de cette image lorsque vous insérez ce code.
Vous pouvez également utiliser ce code pour arrêter/mettre en pause le scénario des clips.
stop();
/* Evénement MouseClick
Cliquez sur l'occurrence de symbole spécifiée pour exécuter une fonction dans laquelle vous pouvez ajouter votre propre code personnalisé.
Instructions :
1. Ajoutez votre code personnalisé sur une nouvelle ligne sous la ligne indiquant "// Début de votre code personnalisé" ci-après.
Le code s'exécute lorsque vous cliquez sur l'occurrence de symbole.
boutonNext.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler);
function fl_MouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
          // Début de votre code personnalisé
          // Ce code d'exemple affiche les mots "L'utilisateur a cliqué sur la souris" dans le panneau de sortie.
          trace("L'utilisateur a cliqué sur la souris");
          // Fin de votre code personnalisé
          event.target.parent.gotoAndStop(2);

Converting an interactive Flash animation for iOS

Hello -
I am a bit of a Flash newbie - but we have some interactive particle simulators that had been programmed in Flash (.swf files).
I would like to find a way to convert these into some other format for use in iBooks Author.
How difficult would this be, and what kind of tools would I need to do it?
Thanks.

i think the chances of this being doable is close to zero if your swf contains any significant actionscript.
in any case, you're more likely to get more information checking with ibooks author experts because the number of flash experts that have heard of ibooks author is going to be much smaller than the number of ibooks author experts that have heard of flash.

How to keep a flash swf file flipped in InDesign export to interactive pdf...???

When I export a file to interactive pdf or another swf file it does not show the flipped version of the flash file imported in it.It shows the original unflipped version!!!.. what should i do???

from the Premiere Pro Help section about importing SWF files:
" Interactive content and scripted animation are not retained. Animation defined by keyframes in the main, top-level movie is retained."

FlashPaper hangs when converting PowerPoint t to Flash swf

I tried a very simple one page powerpoint with the word test.
I hit FlashPaper-convert to Flash SWF; the dialog box appears and
indicates it is converting but it never finished. Is this also a
bug and is there a fix?
Thx,
Dave

No you can't from a book - there might be a script for it?
I've had alook around and I can't find one.
You could place all the indesign files into a new indesign file and then export to SWF that way.
There's a script called multipage importer that would be able to automate the inesertion of all the pages.

Converting interactive DVD to IPad ?

I have an interactive DVD which I would like to be able to play on my IPad (Gen 4). It is an educational DVD with lessons for each section.
Can this be done and if so, how?
Thank you for your help.

Here is further clarification from the owner of the DVD's. Does this change how to convert so I can view on iPad?
They are NOT protected (DRM) but if I were to start making copies for friends (which I am not) then they would claim copy right.
DVD's are essentially a website on a DVD. To view them on iPad they have to be on something that looks like a
web server to the iPad.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Convert DVD to Flash?

My client wants to put his completed DVD (with videos, motion menus,etc.) on the web. We don't have access to the editable production files, only the finished DVD. Is there anyway to easily convert this to Flash format (or anything else) so we can put it on the web with it's full functionality?

do you mean rip dvd to flash flv format, then put it to youtube, I know software can do this, eahoosoft dvd ripper, it can convert your dvd to flash with high quality.

Hi Jay
Unfortunately...No such tool exist....But that would be one great tool! You'll have to reconstruct your disc in flash.
You can extract your MPEG streams and convert them to flash.
Check on videohelp's toolsite. They have a messload of great tools:

How can I convert my Tiger DVD into a CD without spending more money?

How can I convert my Tiger DVD into a CD without spending more money and time? I've spent over seven hours trying to upgrade an iMac 350 Hz OS 9.1 to Tiger. I have changed the iMac firmware to 4.1.9, but found that my Panther disc was only an OSX Upgrade, although the 3 cds are labeled as Installation Discs. Since I have a Tiger disc I thought I would use that. Unfortunately, my iMac only reads CDs, not DVDs. I tried networking the iMac to my G5, but upon shutdown, the OSX disc cannot be accessed. I copied the DVD files to my iMac hard drive, but again, the OSX disc cannot be accessed after shutdown.
Is there a way I can burn a CD from the files of my Tiger DVD to get this task accomplished?

Excuse me, but I never thought of that, nor did I have any intention of trying to rip off your company.
I purchased four iPods for my family this Christmas. I have six iMacs just sitting around not being used. I thought that I would turn one into an iPod work station, so everyone can use one computer to recharge and hook up to iTunes 7.
Unfortunately, iTunes does not work very well in OS9. Apple decided not to continue to support OS9 very well. I’ve spent several hours attempting to upgrade the iMac so I could set up iTunes 7. Unfortunately, my 3 Panther Installation Discs were mislabeled, and did not allow me to install OSX over OS9. My OSX 10.2.7 Installation Disc is a DVD, and my Tiger Installation disc is a DVD. Neither usable to update the iMac.
All I want to do is set up a dumb iMac as a network interface to my G5 because I've use all of the G5's ports for our recording studio and the iPods need external power source if they are plugged directly into the G5.
If you could show me an easier way to run iTunes 7 on the iMac I wouldn't be as ****** off as I am at Apple for not supporting the 9 older computers I own with usable help and upgrades.

Interactive PDF not supporting .swf

We are currently producing an digital publication in InDesign CS5 that we would like to export as an interactive PDF. The only way to get this to work, was to export as a Flash .swf, then place that into a new Indesign document, then export THAT as an interactive PDF. Everything works great that way, EXCEPT any objects in the original document that are .swf, do not show up in the final PDF. Is there a work around on this? Basically, a .swf-in a-swf works, swf to PDF works, BUT swf-in a-swf-to-PDF Doesn't work!

There are about fifty buttons that hide/show the various swf objects. So all the buttons would have top be relinked somehow. The swf is a scrolling text window, so we could potentially get rid of it, if we figured out how to do a scrolling text window within InDesign?
