Premiere to Flash workflow ? (Maybe AEFX to Flash)

Hopefully someone has some experience with Premiere to Flash workflows and can help me here. (Apart from encoding some flvs...I have none!)
I am shooting a number of people separately on a chroma bg so that in the end result they will appear composited alongside each other on a web page. (on a white bg).
They respond to mouse clicks with some action and dialogue.
Obviously I need to key the scenes in Premiere or AEFX (unless Flash can do a key?).
What do I supply to the Web page Author?
(I belive I should supply them with best source material)
- I can NOT produce an avi/mov from Premiere with an alpha channel
- I CAN produce an avi /mov from AEFX with an alpha channel (slow process for 100+ clips)
- what / how to do this? eg can flash files have transparency.

O.K
It is possible to encode an alpha channel into an flv from Premiere and it works perfectly (but is limited by the quality of the Keyers in Premiere.)
Will be fine for the web page project I am doing and will be a lot quicker. (Batch Encoding - woooohooooo!)
BTW: There is an Encode alpha button in the flv export settings.
(I would like to thank me for all my help)

Premiere Pro CC won't play my Flash files

In older versions of Premiere (CS6), I was able to play Flash flv files in my movie sequence. I would download the flv files from iStock as comps and play them in the movie as placeholders until I was ready to purchase them. They no longer play in Premiere CC. What happened and how can I get around this without using an old version of Premiere?
Thanks!!!

What is the best practices workflow from illustrator to flash in cs 6?

Hello- question from an illustrator to flash workflow n00b.
I'm creating a flash experience with animated characters.
I'm building my art assets in illustrator.
I've found it relatively easy & straightforward to import assets from illustrator into flash.
I can conveniently import my layers and symbols from illustrator as separate layers and symbols in flash and manipulate them.
However, let's say after import I want to change something with an asset using illustrator. For example, I have a character with facial features, including eyes. I want to change the eyes in illustrator and have those changes then be propogated in some way- automagically or manually- in flash.
What is the right way to do this? Are there best practices for being able to go back and forth between flash and illustrator?
Thank you!
~ sae

Thanks for the reply Suhas.
I guess the answer to my question is that there is no good way. In the photoshop/illustrator workflow, I can paste a document from illustrator into photoshop and then double-click it in photoshop to open it back up in illustrator and edit the original. I have seen posts on people doing this between Flash and Illustrator with the now-discontinued Flash Catalyst- a process that was apparently called round-tripping. Ideally, this is the functionality I'd like to have between Flash and Illustrator but I take it from your reply that the answer is 'Does not exist.'

Getting Big Headache, What is difference between Flash Lite 3.1 and Flash Player 7

Hello, I am asking questions about the two similar yet different programs for Pocket PC version only:
1) Which came first, Flash Lite 3.1 or Flash Player 7?
2) If I have both in my Pocket PC, will there be product incompatibility?
3) What is the difference between Flash Lite 3.1 and Flash Player 7.
4) I have a Flash Lite 3.1 but uninstall information says "Flash Lite 3.1 for Opera Mobile", did you releaase this? Is this an illegal copy? A developer's copy?
*I don't know exactly where I got it, but I got it from the HTC developer's forum: XDA-developers.com
*I also use Opera mobile, a web browser for Pocket PC's.
5) What is difference between Flash Lite 3.1 and Flash Lite 3.1 for Opera? Is the only difference is that Flash Lite Supports everything flash related, while Flash Lite Opera supports only flash in opera?
Hi, I don't expect all answers, but I hope someone or someone from adobe support can clear some things up for me.

The program under my "remove programs" list is specifically called "Adobe Flash Lite for Opera". The XDA forums people said along time ago that it was Flash Lite, and kept calling it Flash Lite, and not Flash Player 7.
Now what about this:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashlite/version/
The table shows the differences between FP 7 SDK, FL 2.1, and FL 3.1. And it's quite obvious that FL 3.1 has way more features than Flash Player 7. What does SDK mean? And why are you telling me FP 7 has more features?
With this information, can you or anyone else provide any more details and clarification?

How to get list of logged-in users from Flash Media Server in a Flash programm? (Or login/logout notifications)

Hi there,
I'm Very sorry for asking this. I guess it's a very basic problem, but I'm very new to Flash and Flash media Server and I need a very fast answer...
Currently I'm working on a Director project using a flash program which connects to Flash Media Server (I guess version 3, it's quite old). Unfortunately they forgot to make a flash method to send the actual userlist (or a notification when someone logged in or out) to Director. AND, unfortunately, they lost the source code of that flash programm, so I cannot look into it or alter it *sigh*.
Now I want to do a new flash programm which covers the old one, letting all known methods "pass trough" and building an additional method to gain the user list (or login/out notification).
How do I get the login information from Flash Media Server? (Would be good if you could provide an idea already for flash code... as I said I'm a tard at flash till now)
Thank you so much. And I hope you understand my situation asking here...
Jana

hparmar : yes, that's what I feared... I hoped it would be possible to tell the server from which application I do need the login information. What a mess.
Dimo Hristov: thanks for your offer! I already tried decompiling the flash program with the shareware version of Trillix Decompiler. It only decompiled the UI (in a terrible way) but no source code at all. It was the shareware version where I can decompile 2 or 3 programms to test the software. Are you sure the non-free version of Trilix Flash Decompiler will do..?

How to watch flash based videos without adobe flash installed using Safari

How do I watch flash based videos without adobe flash installed using Safari?

Once you have Chrome installed, activate the Develop menu in Safari (go to Safari Preferences > Advanced > Show Develop Menu). You then will see under the Develop menu the Open Page With option and Chrome will be listed there.
So each time you open a page with Safari requiring Flash, you use that menu option to open the same page in Chrome.

Saving Flash 7 SWF created in Flash 8

I understand from experience that viewing Flash 8 SWF files
on the Flash 7 Player results in text not showing up. The Flash 8
text is obviously superior, but unfortunately, a major contingent
of my viewers are too afraid, too naive, or their systems are too
messed up to upgrade their Flash Players from earlier versions.
Obviously, to solve the problem, I can save the SWF as Flash 7
backward compatible; however, I am more than disappointed with the
results of this solution. The main problems with this approach is
that the text looks week and the bitmap alignment is no longer
perfect when trying to intermingle my flash content with existing
background content.
Please someone help me with a better solution by providing me
with a list of parameters that need to be in place so that my Flash
7 files created in Flash 8 look more presentable.

> Peter, as for a list of parameters, I mean precisely

There seems to be come confusion here. It's not a matter of
'checking off'
options, rather of publish settings. In the 'Publish
Settings' dialogue,
under the 'Flash' tab, 'Version', select 'Flash Player 7'.
the important
thing is not to use any *features* that depend on Flash
Player 8 - these
include (but are not limited to!) filters, any of the new
text rendering
options (custom anti-alias), any of the new Classes (geom,
filters, display,
external) etc etc etc.

Again, you are a bit confused I think. Obviously they will be
different than
if published for FP8 - that wasn't my point. What I said was:

and bitmaps will

So, using Flash 8 to author but publishing for FP7 will look
the same as
using Flash MX2004 ('Flash 7') to create your content. You
are saying your
bitmaps shrink "compared to when exported normally in Flash
8" - I never
mentioned publishing for Flash 8.
> Hmmm, the exported Flash 7 text (generated in Flash 8)

Well yes, of course. You said it yourself - you have exported
for FP7 -
playing it in FP8 won;t magically make it look better! For
that, you would
have to *publish* for FP8.

Flash builder 4.6 with Flash CS5.5 mobile work flow

I have a mobile application built in flash professional. For captive runtime or native extensions i use the command line.
I now want to start using flash builder, as i hear this is the undisputed better coding environment.
In flash builder, i created a 'flash professional project' to work on my app with both tools simultaneously.
I thought flash builder 4.6 would give me options like captive runtime or native extensions without using the command line.
However i dont see these options at all. When i am using a 'flash professional project' in flash builder, am i essentially just using flash builder as a code editor, and all export settings are still handled in flash IDE ? Meaning i cannot take advantage of captive runtime+ ANEs unless using an 'actionscript mobile project'
Please advise.
Also, even if i use it as just a better code editor, i am not finding it better so far.
syntax highlighting seems poor
simple things like touch events.
function parameters or inside the function like e.touchPointID , e.stageX
none of this is highlighted.
or as simple as
ball.x;
the .x would normally be highlighted, but it is not in flash builder.
Basically, i am finding as a tool to use with flashIDE as a flash professional project, so far i am seeing no benefits. Please help me to discover what i am missing about this editing environments mobile work flow.
also when i hit ctrl+s to save my work, it jumps between the two programs... saving the project i suppose? hard to just quickly save as you go in case of crashes and such.

thanks

Flash not displaying photos in Flash photo Gallery

I have several web sites that use a flash photo gallery to display the photos. All worked until a few months ago when the photo were not displayed to users who used Mozilla Firefox, or MAC users using Safari for their browsers. The albums were blank, the thumbnails were blank. Yet if you used Google Chrome or Internet Explorer, all photos displayed perfectly. I have been to the Firefox forums and they point to Flash. I was using Flash 11.5.502.146, then I downgraded to Flash 10.3. To my surprise all photos display now on my Firefox browse V18.0. So there is definitely a problem with the newer Flash displaying photos in a flash gallery. What can be done to fix this?

Where is the "done" button in Flash CS4 when using Flash Builder 4's new flash component or container?

The documentation for Flash Builder 4 beta says that after opening flash from flash builder, I should click a "done" button in flash and flash should close and what I created in flash should be included as a component or container in Flash Builder. Using the Flash Builder 4 beta on Windows, when I click on the "create in flash" button on the properties panel for either the new flash component or container, Flash CS4 opens, I create something in Flash and no "done" button is present. Nor is anything present in the menus resembling a "done" option. Where is it?

Hi Jeffrey:
Still no done button. Now under commands in Flash I can convert symbols to flex components and containers and these show up in the Flash library.
Thanks:

Hi,
You may need to install FlexComponentKit.mxp to your Flash CS4 beforehand.

I apparently didn't get one. I've looked under various workspace configurations. Another thing that seems odd is that when Flash opens I get the opening panel that allows me to select the type of file and version of AS I want to use. I select new file with AS3. Any ideas on why the "done" button wouldn't be present and if the opening panel is what I should expect on opening Flash after clicking the "create in Flash" button?

Flash Player written in the Flash 8

Hi All,
How can I write flash player with flash 8? I need flash that
can play other *.swf files.
I don't know what components and functions I should use.
Please help me with this

I guess I don't understand the need for this - it is the same
as buying say a specific car and then
trying to use this same car's parts to build a new car from
it and for the same reason for having
the original car (to go places). Why are you needing to
re-invent the wheel? Everything you want to
do the Adobe Flash Player already does.

What are the distinctions between Adobe Flash Player & Shockwave Player & Shockwave Flash?

I find references to what seem to be three distinct things:
Adobe Flash Player
Shockwave Player
Shockwave Flash
Treatment of these things is interwoven and confusing:.
As an example, the Adobe Shockwave Player page at URL: http://www.adobe.com/products/shockwaveplayer/ provides a link to a page to test whether Shockwave Player is installed. That test, however, is the test to see whether Adobe Flash Player ins installed.
On my Mac running OS X 10.6.4 Firefox 8.0.1 has a Plug-In named Shockwave Flash 11.0.1.152.
Are these things indeed distinct? Is it likely that both (or all three) are needed on the same computer? The Adobe web site should clearly define the relationships at a high level of visibility.

Basically, the Flash player is just that: you can watch videos, but you can't interact with them.
To give it its full name, Shockwave For Director is primarily used for things like games, or demos where the user can interact with the animation.
The current version of the Shockwave (For Director) player is 11.6.3.633 while the current Flash player is 11.1.102.55

How do I get my site to display a flash version if they have flash or my html5 version if they don't

I'm setting up my site in html5 for those devices that do not display flash/swf files.
How do I make my site run the flash site if they have flash player and switch to the html site if they don't?
Thanks!!!

Suzy, I am a professional. I work in split view constantly. And that is actually kind of dangerous, but I know the problems.
I am very happy with Dreamweaver CS 5.5's Live View, which is not something I had in CS3. But I'm not really sure which web browser it's emulating, so I always check everything out in a real browser (actually several). I look at Firefox, and Safari and I also look at it in Internet Exploder versions 7, 8 and 9 through the use of VirtualBox on my Mac. OS X Daily even offered a complete run-it-once installation kit on their website.
The current HTML standard is HTML4, which was arrived at by the W3C in 1999. People tried to improve on that standard and came up with XHTML (for eXtended HTML) and that became a "standard," but I can see people leaving that style with HTML5.
The idea behind these new standards for HTML is to go more towards a semantic web, with tags that actually describe something about the content. Essentially, what we're trying to do is get more and more in-line style information out of the web page and into a style sheet, with tags that give search engines more information about what the content is all about.
We need people with good design-sense Suzy. Learning HTML markup and how to build stylesheets to style your pages is not simple and you need to have a little patience. I think it is very promising that you are saying that HTML5 and CSS3 are easier. When these new standards are adopted, it will be much easier to make websites and those sites will be better optimized for search engines.
If you stick to HTML5 and CSS3, you need to include the HTML5 "shiv" in your header in your page. This will retranslate all of your hard work into something that Microsoft's browsers can understand, as Microsoft made them the "slow kid" down the street.
Good luck!

Export to Flash with embedded QT or Flash video - can it work?

Is it possible to have an embedded video (either QT or Flash) in a Keynote '08 presentation and export the presentation as a Flash SWF file? I have tried saving the video in different QT and Flash formats then export to Flash using Keynote, but when I view the exported SWF file, the embedded video doesn't play. I'm unsure if it's not possible to do this or if I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks.
Lori

No, this would have required Apple to build a Flash video encoder engine into Keynote's export module. You'd think if it was already a flash movie, it would work, but it doesn't, so assume they just didn't bother building in support for embedding flash movies into a flash export.
