Problems importing into flash CS4

Hello everyone!
I am attempting to export a captivate project over to flash CS4.  However when it goes from captivate over to flash the result is basically a slide show. It does not show any of the animations that are present in Captivate. I also keep recieving an error message.
I have searched for how to solve this problem for quite a while now and so far have come up with nothing.
This is the error message that flash gives me:
The following elements in your project have not been converted. They are not supported by this importer.
508 Compliance
A swf animation slide has been imported. The following files must be made available at publish time:
Project01_slide_22_0.swf
DefaultPreloader.swf
Please make sure you publish the project to “C:\Documents and Settings\jmillard\Desktop.” Saving the project to this directory will ensure that test project will work with the swf animation slides.
Unfortunately I am on a tight schedule to get this project done and the Captivate 4 and Flash CS4 I am using are both 30 day trials, so I am in quite a hurry.
If you could please help me I'd greately appreciate it!

Check the settings:
Edit/Preferences.../PSD File importer...
And then load the *.psd file without the background.
And certainly there is no change in flash...

  • Importing into Flash a Fireworks image - advice please!

    Importing into Flash using a Fireworks image - advice please!
    New'ish to Flash so hope I'm in the right forum ;-)
    I have made and image using gradients in Fireworks and have been using FW for ages (please see example below).
    I am importing into Flash CS4 this image and want to use it with a Flash component however the image quality is really bad in Flash and I cant figure out why. I have increased the image to 300dpi in Fireworks to see if that helps and it doesn't.
    I'm hoping this is a simple thing I am missing due to not knowing Flash as well as I do Fireworks.
    Really grateful for any advise. P.

    Hi there,
    No not trying to adjust size of the image in Flash, do that all before hand.
    In Fireworks I can adjust resolution but don't seem to be able to in Flash, is this def the case?

  • AI vs PSD Import to Flash CS4 - Difference in Quality?

    I have a bunch of vector and bitmap images I'm importing into Flash CS4 from Illustrator and/or Photoshop.
    I can import the PSD directly into Flash
    and AI directly into Flash
    or
    import the PSD into Illustrator, then import ONLY an AI into Flash.
    Is there any degredation in the quality of the bitmaps, if I send them through Illustrator?
    Thanks

    hey xchanin,
    My question is whether a bitmap loses quality if it goes from photoshop through illustrator to flash. I think illustrator files tend to import a little better into flash than photoshop files.
    I do agree that vector is sharper in most cases. I try to keep all of my text & basic graphics as vector. Most of my bitmaps are full blown illustrations though.
    Thanks!

  • Importing Images into Flash CS4 from Photoshop 7

    Hello,
    I've created an image in flash, basically the image is a ring which has then been divided into 3 equal segments, each segment exists on its own seperate layer with and has a transparent background. I want to make ach of these segments into a button on flash, so I've imported them across and converted them into buttons, however the problem I have is that when it gets imported into flash, it creates a box around each segment which is what flash sees as the full button, this means when you roll over a blank piece of the segment flash recognises it as rolling over the button. Is this just an inherent problem from importing from photoshop into flash or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks

    Check the settings:
    Edit/Preferences.../PSD File importer...

  • Help needed with Illustrator texture swatches imported into Flash

    Hey, so I  basically scanned a texture into illustrator and added it into the swatches. After drawing a character in illustrator I used the colour of the swatch I had added to colour in my character and by using the tilde button I could move the texture to see which speicifc part of the texture I wanted for certain parts.
    Once I completed my character I imported him into Flash. Here is where the problem lies in, when I attempt to use the bone tool to animate him, as soon as I move a certain limb, the specific texture I had applied for that certain area causes the texture to move and make the area that I had coloured in using the swatches look different to what I initially imported into Flash.
    This has been a huge problem I have been facing and haven't been able to find an answer anywhere, I would really appreciate if I could get some help with this. Thank you very much!
    P.S.  If i explained my situation poorly, just ask for an image and I will gladly post a few so everything's clearer and makes more sense.

  • Maintaining original video size when importing into Flash

    Hi All,
    We've imported a number of videos for a client in order to
    stream them via Flash. The problem we are experiencing though is
    that flash seems to stretch the video height. For example, here is
    the video on Youtube:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7EWMzIXQg8
    which is fine
    and here is the video imported into flash:
    http://www.geofframm.com/movie/frommetoyou.html
    We've tried adjusting the height/width settings, but to no
    avail.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Best wishes

    I am using captivate 3 and I get an error whenever I try to
    export to flash cs3. unknown error.
    why the hell doesnt Adobe say that flash is required to
    export to flash BEFORE I buy the software? I am using my pc for
    captivate, but am primarily mac based and was going to edit in
    flash on my mac. but captivate didnt allow for me to export to
    flash at all without any kind of flash installed. I installed a
    demo version of flash, but the export is coming up with an error.
    any ideas out there? adobe??? I'm currently using vista OS.
    thanks in advance. r

  • Captivate 3 is wrong size when importing into Flash CS3

    I've tried exporting, publishing etc. and no matter how I
    try, when I import into Flash CS3 the size of the Captivate content
    (background screens, in particular) are too small. For example, I
    captured a 423x424 area for my Captivate project. When I import
    into a Flash CS3 project with the same dimensions the Captivate
    content (screens) are more like 203x203.5 and the mouse path and
    slide context starting positions are upper left corner. I've tried
    adjusting some of the importing settings but can't get the screens
    the right size unless I resize each one manually - and I have
    around 100. Any help greatly appreciated!

  • Autocad .dwg import into Illustrator CS4

    Can you import Autocad .dwg files into Illustrator CS4 keeping polyline widths?  Can joined polylines remained joined once imported?  When opening .dwg files in Illustrator I get very inconsistent results.  Sometimes polylines remained joined and keep their widths, other times not.  There seems to be no rhyme or reason.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    It depends on what version of CAD and Program it came from, it can come from the same source but could have been created originally from an earlier version of the application.
    I believe the newer versions of AutoCAD do not have this problem because the polylines and shapes are created differently.
    I may also have something to do with the way the CAD operator prepared and exported the file so there may actually be logic to the results.
    However I can suggest you might want to look at  plug in that can help you fix the problem if the lines are not join it is called concatenate.
    http://rj-graffix.com/software/plugins.html I think it costs $10.00
    But if the polylines are nibs from an older CAD app it will always lose it weight but since the nibs retain their color yu might be able to write some actions to select and change the weight or a script to fix all the weights.
    If this is happening with newer versions of the CAD programs I would suggest trying the old method of export and use a file in the esp format rather that dwg.

  • Problems Importing into Address Book

    Trying to import my address book from a vcf file. I get the following error:
    Are you sure you want to add 1511 cards to your address book? There were problems importing.
    My address book file has 2308 cards, not 1511.
    Any suggestion

    If you open Address Book, click on Card menuitem and select Edit Template. This will show you what the current template is and what fields may be added to the template.
    You can then edit the LDIF file when it's created to select only the desired export fields that will match the template.
    I believe when you then import into Address Book you will have an opportunity to match up the corresponding fields. Been so long since I did this I don't remember.

  • Problem importing into FCPX from SD card

    Hi, I'm having a problem importing some videos from a micro SD card into FCPX.  It is some helmet camera footage shot at 720P @ 30fps.  It's a .mov file.
    My problem is when I go to the "import media" window, I can see the files on the import screen.  I can also skim and play the files before they are imported.  The first time I tried to import them, I got an error message (which I unfortunately didn't write down). After I clicked "OK" on the error message, I could still see the file thumbnail, but if I hovered my mouse over it, the thumbnail turned black. I then restarted FCPX, and tried again.  I found that I could still see, skim, and play the file, but when I choose to "import selected" the little pie shaped downloading icon doesn't appear anymore and the file doesn't attempt to import. 
    Should I go to Disk Utility and do a "Verfiy Disk" and "Repair Disk" (if necessary) or might I permanantly delete the corrupted file if I "fix" it by repairing the disk?
    I have a screenshot of the import screen if needed, but the resolution is terrible.  I'll need to take another one if it would be beneficial to see it.
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Glen

    A screen shot would be good..
    If you have mulltple files and you know which one is a problem, select just the others and import them.
    Try copying the entire card to your HD and seeing whether it will import from your computer.

  • Problem Importing into iPhoto 11 Events after Photostream

    Before Photostream, importing my photos into iPhoto worked fine for me.  By USB cable from my iPhone or camera, I imported and elected to import all of them.  They showed up under "Last Import", but I also had the option (I forget now the procedures I followed) to sort this Last Import into one or more existing or new Events that I could name.
    I don't know if Photostream has caused the problem, but now after I follow the prior procedure and have a "Last Import" (which does show thumbnails of all the photos), I can't find out to create the actual Events into which I want to place these photos.  If I go to Photosteam, this does not help.  If I go to the automatically created, say, "Dec 2011 Photosteam" event folder, I can (painstakingly) create one or more events into which to sort the pictures in that folder--but at this point I lose many of the photos from that folder.  However, they are still in the main Photostream folder and in "Last Import".
    If I go to "Events" in the source column at the left, I do not see the new pictures (they are only in Last Import, in Photostream, and, sometimes, in the most recent monthly folder automatically created for Photostream).  If I go to the Events dropdown menu, the selections (such as Create Event) are grayed out--irrespective of whether I have Selected All or selected any of the photos in the Last Import or Photosteam folder.  Thus, I can't get hold of the new pictures to put them into the events that I want.
    How do I break apart the individual photos like I used to be able to do, so that I end up with photos divided into existing or newly created events?
    Has anyone run into this problem?  Is anyone doing the same tasks without having any problem of this nature?  Anyone have a solution?

    Okay, I think I've answered my own question, based on my looking further at other questions and answers in this forum.  I needed to control-click on one of the photos in my Photos or Last Import folders and select "Show Event" from the contextual menu at the bottom of the pop-up window.  This directed me way up in my library to near the beginning--instead of at the end (latest date) where I expected to find the event.  I then need to go to the View menu, then down to Sort Events, and then click to Sort By Date (I don't know how this had become un-selected.)
    Once I was able to find the photos, I was able to follow my old procedures to continue creating events and sorting photos--all without needing to go into Photostream (since I had uploaded into iPhoto the photos I wanted to sort by USB cable from my camera and my iPhone).

  • Problem importing into AE CS6

    Hello. I have a problem importing some footage into AE CS6. It was filmed with a Canon XA10 in PF30. My primary computer is a Windows 7 based system with plenty of RAM and a i7 processor. While Premiere Pro can import this footage and allows me to edited, the problem starts when I try to import it into AE CS6. I have the cloud and AE should be up to date with its updates. When I try to import the footage I get an error that states "After Effects warning: Error with file" I also use an Mac with Mountain Lion (at a different location) and it has no problems importing this footage into AE CS6 and allowing me to edit it. Here are the errors that I receive
    The top image is the error that I get.
    The next image is source information I get when it is imported into Media Converter.
    The bottom left image is the import screen from AE. I circled the only difference that I noticed.
    The bottom right image is some footage that AE does not have any problems with.
    I have searched the internet and someone suggested that I convert the footage to another codec like MOV. I have done this many time using different codecs (mov, h264, avi, etc) and I have converted these files on the Mac as well.. All of those files come up with the same error in AE as well as nothing in the format location in the AE import screen. I am thinking that my Windows system maybe missing a codec that is installed on the Apple. Can anyone tell me if I am missing a codec? If so can anyone tell me where I can get this codec. Any help would be great as I have been woking on this problem for a while now.

    You can drag the comps from the project window in AE to the project window in Premiere Pro. This won't work if you happen to have installed the applications individually instead of as part of Production Premium or another suite or products, but as long as you installed them together, you can drag and drop between the applications all you want.

  • How do I remove white outline on clipping paths imported into Flash?

    I have been trying to import clipping paths into Flash, but the images look fine, except for the white outline around the imported clipping paths. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I could do to remove this, or what I am doing wrong? The clipping path looks fine when I drop it on the same color background in Illustrator. I'm using CS2 and Flash 8. Thanks.

    Check to see if a stroke being added to the vector when you bring it into Flash? If so, just delete the stroke.

  • Retaining transparency in After Effects, to be imported into flash

    Hi
    I have created a sequence in after effects using Illustrator images and the partical system. I want to export/render this out with a transparent background and in a format recognised by Flash. Then I want to bring it into Flash and play it over realtime footage from a webcam.
    Anyway I have tried to:
    render it out using FLV
    render it out using Quicktime with RGB + Alpha and millions of colours+
    Render it out using Targa etc
    I have tried to:
    Export it with SWF
    Export it with XFL
    Ant others I just cant remember.
    Is it possible to bring a transparent backgrounded file from After Effects into Flash?
    If so, how can it be done?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks Mairead

    Animation is the one I use most often. I should be using ProRes 4444 for ease of integration into Apple's Motion and Final Cut apps but I keep forgetting it's available.
    ...and here's another candidate: PNG the codec, not the image sequence.  It also supports Alpha Channels, and unless you're making animated lower-thirds, the file sizes are generally smaller than Animation files. 
    Animation uses run length encoding, so in situations with large expanses of transparency as in lower-thirds, the file sizes can be downright compact.
