PSD files and Flash

Need Help.  I'm new at this.  Bought a flash template website.  I have made text changes in the psd files that came with it. How do I link them back to Flash??  Plus, I need to add a psd file of a logo also.  Many thanks, I am trying to learn this.

Thanks for getting back in touch with me.
The flash website folder has 4 folders inside it. "flash", "fonts",
"html" and "psd".  The psd folder contained the text on the buttons and
a few other images, that had to be changed.  I made the changes in
Photoshop and exported them back to the folder.  When I click on the
psd file in the folder it has the correct changes.  But I can't get it
into to flash file to review it.
Like I said, I literally got Flash today and am stumbling terribly.

  • How to Edit PSD Files In Flash Template

    Hi Everyone,
    I am new to flash and I am trying to create my first flash site using a template that I have downloaded. I can edit the first page fine, but when I click the "about us" or any other section, the standard template text, Which isn't even in english, appears. I believe that these are psd files, and I have tried to edit them, saved and replaced file on my computer, but still I get the same unchanged text on this site when I preview. Could someone please tell me how to edit and replace these files within the flash movie?

    Instance names are the reference names that you give to the individual items on the stage. Only movieClip and button symbols can have instance names.
    When you import a photoshop file to Flash you will get individual bitmap objects on the stage and in a folder in the movie's Library. You will need to select each item, one at a time, on the stage and convert each one to a symbol. When you make that conversion the name that you give to that new movieClip or button is the name that you will see in the Library.
    When you select that new symbol on the stage, look at the Properties window. You will now see a space at the top where you can give that item an instance name. The instance name is what you will use in Actionscript to control that object on the stage.
    When you look in the movie's Library, you will see the original bitmap and the symbol that you created that contains that bitmap.
    Does that help?

  • Encore won't encode some PSD files in Flash

    I have succesfully completed a DVD project on Encore (4.0)  with mpg elements edited in Premier Pro (4.0). A number of slide sequences constructed from jpgs converted
    to pds files in Photoshop (cs5) have been used, plus some (individual, single) text slides, (constructed in Photoshop) have also been included with the DVD project. All of this works
    fine. However, when I render the whole project for Flash, the text files are not included! During the render process the file details are displayed but no yellow progress bar appears.
    The Flash file is prefereable to the DVD as this enables the Flash file to be available from a central common drive or server.
    Can anyone assist me with this? I can find nor reference to these types of issues iether on the forum or anywhere on the net.

    Hi Stan
    And thanks for the prompt reply. I will try this twixt Christmas and new year. My recollection was that the text created in Premier
    when imported into Encore looked “poor” as an mpg. However I had not rendered the project in Flash at that stage. Will
    have to look at how Premier works direct to Flash without Encore?

  • A problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash

    Hi.
    There's a problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash.
    If I import a layered PSD file, some part the color of the lower layer is shown at the edge of objects or shadows. Instead, if I crop each layers first and import them, there's no problem.
    If the higher layer has brush or transparent effects, it becomes worse.
    Any help with this problem?
    Thanks.

    How was the original art created? Was the original RGB or CMYK? What is the resolution of the Photoshop file? Flash only works well with RGB and 72 pixel per inch resolution. If your original art is not set this way, then Flash will attempt to convert it as it imports it. Flash uses the sRGB color space. You'll get the best color translation if your Photoshop file is using this color preference.

  • Importing psd files in flash.  Constant Artifacts

    So I been trying to import a psd file in flash to animate using diifferent layers from Photoshop.  The problem is there's always artifacts around the image once it imports.  I can't seem to get rid of themwhen I need clean shapes to animate. When I go back to reclean the image in photoshop, it looks crisp and I don't see obvious artifacts spots as I do in flash.
    So how does one get clean image shapes from photoshop or detect artifacts before going through the trouble of importing? Any ideas thanks...

    Thanks, that's interesting to know.  I do have the file  in a slightly high res, than 72.  Even when I zoom in 200%, I don't see anything extra to clean off in the original file. Is there a way to make it more obvious, or method to tone down stray pixels in photoshop or flash.  It's still wierd that Flash would exaggerate a stray pixel, 100 fold whiling importing.

  • Add layers from other psd file and retain text layers (Batch processing)

    I want to batch process a large number of portraits adding text info from the filename (year_name_number.jpg) to existing text layers. I want to make a template psd file containg the correct labeled text layers formatted and adjusted (With bleding effects and more) How can i add layers from an other psd file to the active document and retaining the text layers editable. The place command in PS5 adds the file as a smart object, no use.
    Any ideas?
    I tried the combined action/script way, but no joy so far. Right now i am making the text layers with a action, then calling the script from the action. It works but its difficult to make different templates from adjusting a action.
    The code i am using now (in combination with a action creating the 3 text layers and other grapchical elements)
    var docRef = activeDocument;
    // strip the extension off
    var fileNameNoExtension = docRef.name;
    fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.split( "_" );
    if ( fileNameNoExtension.length > 1 ) {
                    fileNameNoExtension.length--;
    fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.join("_");
    var myString = fileNameNoExtension;
    var mySplitResult = myString.split("_");
    var textLayer = docReflayers['Year']; // define the existing text layer to a var
    docRef.activeLayer = textLayer;
    textLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
    var T1 = textLayer.textItem;
    T1.contents = mySplitResult[0]
    var textLayer = docRef.layers['Name']; // define the existing text layer to a var
    docRef.activeLayer = textLayer;
    textLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
    var T2 = textLayer.textItem;
    T2.contents = mySplitResult[1]
    var textLayer = docRef.layers['Number']; // define the existing text layer to a var
    docRef.activeLayer = textLayer;
    textLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
    var T3 = textLayer.textItem;
    T3.contents = mySplitResult[2]
    Thanks

    Here is my intended workflow:

    - A template.psd os same size with graphical elements and text layers (named "year", "name" and "number")
    - A script or action copy/pasting og adding all layers from the template.psd file to the open portrait file, retaining text layers editable.
    - A script (The one i have working) changing the text layers added from the template to text from the filename.
    - A action saving this as a PDF ready for print.
    This way i can process a large number of portraits, add names and other information and save it as a file ready for print.
    I can image it is much easier to edit a template than writing a script or an action creating all the graphical elements.
    And even better, to change this template for different customers/departments/logos.
    Basically i need a way to add layers to an open file using a batch file or script.

    OK I understand what your trying to do and now I do not agree with your conclusion you made in you first append about place being no good for you.  Its is I think a perfect solution for you. I feel you need to address the process from a new angle.
    I am very familiar with templates I use them all the time for collages which I populate with an actions.  However I do not batch this process and my process is interactive.  If you look at what your trying to do from the angle of creating a collage.  You will see what you are trying to do is automate the population of a single image collage using a single template in a batch process.  An example of one of my single image collage populated by one of my actions that has been saved as a jpeg image file.  My actions are played in Photoshop with no document opened.  After my action is play there is a single collage document in Photoshop that contains layers that can be tweaked all text is in text layers the can be edited.
    If I wanted to automate the batch population of a single collage template I think all I would need to know is three thing.
    1.) The location of the input images
    2.) The full Path of the PSD template file.
    3.) The location to store the output  file
    Looking at some of the recent threads in this forum I could almost cut and past the script you want to put  together.  There was a recent thread that had javascript code to process files in a folder and process only a list of file types.   There also was a thread that had a place function in it to place images into the current document or create a new document to place the image into.  The image was read from the web using a URL.  This thread has code to change a text layer.  At first I though you may need to open these image file to get at its meta-data to get the Portrait image Exif creation data.  But see all you need is the Filename for it has the data you want the year and name.  So the function that get the image files from the folder will give you that. The   Script needs to Open the Template PSD file and retrieve the prototype text layers text content  then the scrip needs a loop that get the next image file to be processed from the folder get filename function. In the loop the image files are place into the open template above a place holder layer like the Background layer. Then using the prototype text contents and the filename are used  create the new content for the text layer and then change the text layers content to it.  Follow that up with a save as for the output file.  Once the output file is saved delete the placed smart object layer.  When this loop ends the script will close the document with no save and end. As for the three inputs you need  the script could either have a dialog like the images processor or simply prompt you for the folders and template file.

    I have sort of the exact same problem. Extremely far away from user friendly
    I have an second issue as well: When I hook off all-day it comes up with an 8 hour event!
    And then if I put in a late start hour it pushes end time to next day due to the 8 hour event suggestion.
    All in all this gives a lot of changes just to enter an event.
    Command N
    I learnt from your input to use this fuction. At least that comes up with a one hour event as default.

  • Double-click On PSD File And Timeline Disappears!?

    Have dropped a .psd file on track V2 and want to resize it in Motion window.
    So double-click it but timeline seems to vanish and a "negative" clip or something appears in the middle left of where timeline should be.
    How do I make .psd behave like a normal clip and prevent the timeline from vanishing?
    Incidentally the .psd has a coloured shape with a transparent background.
    Message was edited by: Ian R. Brown

    Hi Ian,
    The PSD opens in its own sequence in the timeline to let you change the values of the various layers that it might be composed of. If you make a PNG, it will not save the layers or let you edit their values in FCE.
    If you want to change the motion values of the whole PSD file and not change them individually for the separate layers, select the PSD in your original timeline and click Enter to open it in the viewer.

  • Help!!! accidently saved my psd file and lost all my design

    hello forumers
    i  accidently saved my psd file and lost all my design is there a way to get it back?!??!?!pls helppppp...
    ps:i didnt delete it,i just clicked on save as wihtt he same name,but i dindt notice the design was missing,until i opened up the psd file again.
    thank you.

    This is a Mac Photoshop forum, so it was a reasonable assumption. If you closed the file you are hooped unless you can access a backup.
    Too late for this job, but you might want to install Dropbox. You get 2 GB of space for free on Dropbox’s servers, and any files saved in your My Dropbox (I think that’s what it’s called on Windows) folder are copied to Dropbox’s servers. The big deal is that you can share any files or folders with other users or other computers, so you could have the same folder on your work and home PCs and files saved on one are automatically updated and available on the other. The other big deal is that Dropbox keep old versions of files. I keep all working jobs in Dropbox and remove them only when complete and ready for archive. It is a huge bacon saver.

  • .m4a files and Flash

    Hi, friends. I would be grateful for any thoughts you have on
    this subject.
    The sound piece that I need to import into Flash is an .m4a
    file. I've never worked with that type of file and am not even sure
    why it is an .m4a, since all of the other sound pieces I've created
    in Garageband have been saved as .aif.
    It looks like I cannot bring an .m4a file into Flash, but I
    don't know how to convert it to an mp3. There are some free
    converters out there on the Internet, but when I download them I
    never know what application to use to open the software. As you can
    tell, I'm utterly confused.
    This is my first post. I hope it isn't too long or too
    convoluted. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    its my site, so lemme know what i need to tell the server guys...
    it has pics in the file that you can see if you DL it to iTunes...
    also, if you listen to all of it: There is no merchandise section on the site yet, and we are not selling CDs on the site yet, so don't be confused when you hear that in the podcast. I am updating the site to include these features but I had to make the podcast first because I was in Wakayama near my friend's band, and I had to interview them when I had the chance.
    thx
    PS - why does it automatically DL for windoze? is the server geared towards windows OS?

  • .PSD File and Photoshop Elements

    Can a Photoshop CS6 or earlier version .PSD file (drawing that was created as template) be opened and edited in Photoshop Elements?

    Thank you for your prompt reply.
    I have a few templates that were created in Photoshop that I need to change the color too. These .PSD templates are in layers and are in a plain greyscal element.  Since these templates are in layers would I be able to color these layers in PSE?
    Thanks!

  • PSD Files and iPhoto

    I use PS Elements as my external editor for iPhoto. Usually, I'll just save the file back into iPhoto as a jpeg. Sometimes, however, I'll play around with layers in Elements and want to see that version in iPhoto. I know I can always flatten the image, convert to jpeg and save (or import) that version back into iPhoto.
    But if I haven't finished with the layers so that I don't want to flatten the image, is it safe to import the layered psd file into iPhoto? (iPhoto help has a reference to not supporting files other than jpeg and tiff.) Does it make any difference if I have iPhoto preferences set to not make a copy of imported files in iPhoto, so the original file remains outside iPhoto, or (ii) I use the File-Import method in iPhoto versus dragging and dropping (someone recently tried to persuade me that dragging and dropping was dangerous, whereas an Apple Genius told me it made no difference)?
    And for subequent editing in Elements, does it make any difference if I open the iPhoto file in Elements by double-clicking or by dragging it on to the Elements icon in the dock?
    Thanks

    As you've found out layered Photoshop files are supported. Once you have them imported into iPhoto and do more editing, thru iPhoto of course, (i.e. setup PS as the editor of choice when double clicking on a thumbnail) all you need to do is a normal save and it'll be saved and the thumbnail updated.
    I believe there's an issue with alpha layers however. I've never used them so am unsure the exact nature of the issue but I don't think iPhoto likes them much.
    If you want to be able to use both iPhoto's editor and PS just revert back to "In Main Window" in the preferences and then when you want to use PS Control-click on the thumbnail and select "Use external editor" in the Contextual menu. That way you get the best of both worlds.

  • SWF file and flash player

    Quite a few people said that they cannot see my movie clip
    swf file on their browser even I asked them to go to Flash player
    download center and install the latest flash player.
    I made this file with Flash 8.
    I have read a little bit something about the stand alone
    player which call projector.
    Can anybody tell me why people cannot see my file even they
    installed the flash player 9 and also how can I study about stand
    alone something which I have no idea at all?
    My website is www. theartoftaichi.co.uk. The swf file is the

    But 50% of viewer can open it but others cannot see it even
    they downloaded the Flash player 9.
    I wonder if I am asking them to download the wrong Flash
    player.

  • Trying to edit psd file and it adds another layer

    I have a psd file that was created to use as a template (it is all text).  When I try to edit it, it won't let me, instead another layer is added to the file, instead of allowing me to edit the layer that I am in.......what am I missing???

    If it's been rasterized, you will not be able to edit it.  You'll have to re-create the text layer.  The trouble is that since it was a template, you may not have the fonts that were used to originally create the template.

Maybe you are looking for
