Pulling fla source into director

Does anyone know how/if you can pull a flash movie(s) into
Director and edit them within Director?
Here's the situation. I have three flash movies that I have
the source for (fla) that make up a preloader, the main movie and
an exit scene. I have been asked to convert the intanet web page
into a CD for distribution. Is there any way that I can pull the
FLA's into Director and be able to edit them from within the
Director console? I do not just want to import the swf. I would
like to be able to convert a Flash file into a dir file.
Any help would be appreciated.

I appreciate your help, Sean. So I can't pull the source into
Director. I guess it's off to Amazon to pick up a Director Book.
A (very) short overview:
I have three swf movies that comprise a preloader screen
(zipping images and whizbang text) that fades into the main
interactive movie. The main movie is basically an in-depth web page
(all 17mb of it) with images, text, and animations. When you click
exit, you are directed to a third credits movie. This was all
developed in Flash a while ago and has been periodically updated.
Now, the 'boss' wants to be able to market what we've got
when she's at conventions, meetings, etc. She likes the intranet
page so much that she wants the content put on CD for distribution.
I need to take out some of the proprietary stuff and add a few
other links, e-mail addresses, change around some text and add some
video clips.
After researching, it seems that Director is a better way to
go for this purpose than Flash. I guess I can still make the
projector in Flash but the more that I read up on Director, the
more that I am impressed with it's ability to easily distribute
this kind of media.
Not only that, but I guess that I am kind of proud of my
creation. I like the fact that Director is so much harder to
decompile than Flash.

  • I can't paste text from external sources into Photoshop CC 2014.

    Hello everyone,
    Since a few days I'm not able to paste texts from external sources into Photoshop CC 2014.
    I never have problems with Photoshop CC before.
    I have the new iOS Yosemite installed in my macbook.
    It's really frustrating, can someone help please?

    I have basically the same setup, except on a Mac Mini. I am unable to reproduce your problem. Double check that you are copying the original text in the first place, and then make sure you are pasting into a text layer as you cannot paste into a regular Photoshop layer -- nothing will happen. Create a text layer by clicking on a regular layer with the text tool, the T in the tool box. The new layer will show up in the layers panel identified by the first line of the text.

  • Pulling multiple variables into a single line?

    There really seems like an easy fix to this, but I'm just not finding it on my own here.
    Here's my setup: I've got four variables that are pulling data from our system: Customer Address, City, State, and Zip - for some silly reason we do not have a single variable for all of these combined.
    As such, I'm trying to include all of thee variables in one field, this is what I've got set up as of now:
    Four Invisible fields that pull this data into the form individually
    One field titled "Customer_Address Line"
    A formcalc line with the following data:
    Customer_Address_Line = CUSTOMER_ADDRESS + CUSTOMER_CITY + CUSTOMER_CATE + CUSTOMER_ZIPCODE
    I've tried various different methods to try to get this to print correctly but in the end I've only managed to confuse myself.
    The best I can get is only the zipcode to print.
    What am I missing???
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks

    Radzmar is right .....you  need the concat function to add strings together in FormCalc. Your technique is used with Javascript.
    The object names are case sensitive so make sure you have the right case. Also you can put yor cursor in the script editor wher you want the reference to the object placed, then hold down the ctrl key and move your mouse to the desired field (the cursor will change to a V). Now click on the mouse and a reference will be placed in the script editor.
    Hope that helps

  • Flash 2004 MX will not import .FLA's into the library

    I can't imagine why this is- but if someone has some
    eperience here- I would be so ever grateful.
    I can't get Flash MX 2004 to inport FLA files into the shared
    library. When I select inport/into shared library I get an error
    message that says flash does not recognize the .fla file type and
    wants to know if I should let quick time see if it can recognize
    the file. "Use quicktime instead".
    Here is what I have tried:
    Reset the file types in File/Folder under control panel to
    default- Flash- But all file types were already recognzed- -reset
    was just a deperation hope and prayer.
    Un-installed quicktime then tried to import- no
    un-installed flash- reinstalled flash- tried to import- no
    Installed newest version of Quicktime and then tried to
    import- no
    Reverted to a prior system restore point- then
    Re-installed Flash - tried to import-no
    looked in the registry but could not navigate to anything
    that resembled file extensions-
    Flash saves FLA's and makes SWF's just as it should- opens
    FLA's and sees FLA file types in the saved folder.
    When I initialize the import/to library functon FLA file
    types are not listed unless I select "all file types" in the file
    types drop down- it does recognize SWFs
    Flash did recognize FLA's until I played a Quicktime
    Instruction CD. With no further action on my part, it quit
    importing correctly-
    No viruses are found
    ?? ideas
    Thanks
    -D
    Any other ideas or work-arounds would be greatly
    appreciated-

    Thanks Shane- but when I need to share a library file- I
    select file/ import to library and that is where I get the error- I
    was able to share Flash librarys befor I played the quicktime file-
    and now- unfortunately FLAs are an unrecognized format. And I am no
    longer getting the additional mesage "do you want Quicktime to try
    and open them. Just a message that says "one or more files were not
    imported because there were errors reading them"
    But they open in flash.... which is what I don't understand-
    something has happend that flash no-longer sees the fla file type
    under the File/ Import to Library.
    -D
    Yeah, that would have been a ton of effort... Hopefully a
    little more clarification in the details...

  • Can I use/convert Flash *.fla sources to Flex sources?

    I have an older project with a *.fla source file.
    Can I use this old Flash source in Flex SDK resp. Flex
    builder too?
    Do I have to convert this *.fla source in advance?
    Peter

    I did some further Investigation on my own.  Actually YES YOU CAN EXPORT VIDEO DIRECTLY from flash to AVI - MOV
    just select export/export movie/avi
    From there you can select the output resolution and have full HD 1920x1080.

  • Because I have imported from a number of different sources into Aperture (3.2) over the years, I now have many duplicates in my library.  Is there any way in which these can be identified and lated deleted?

    Because I have imported photos from a number of different sources into Aperture (3.2), I now have many unwanted duplicates.  Some of these are in the same "file/folder", others are not.  Additionally, some of the duplicates may have different file names.
    Can anyone advise me if there is a way of identifying such duplicates in Aperture so that I may later delete them?  If this cannot be achieved within Aperture 3, does anyone know of a proven second-party app?
    Before ending I should mention that I am reasonable competent on a computer but I am not in any way an expert.  (So simple answers would be appreciated if this is possible!)
    Hopefully yours,     Jeremy

    Jeremy -- I suggest making a complete separate copy of your Library and any Referenced Masters and keeping it for a year.  "Duplicate" is, to humans, relative rather than absolute.  My use of Duplicate Annihilator turned up many useful near duplicates, most of which I couldn't quickly distinguish.  With a complete copy nearby, you can be slightly aggressive in your pruning, knowing that should you turn up something in ten months that you need (as an example: the full-size color file for a black & white printed shot that you thought was based on a full-size color Master but which is not), you'll have it.
    IME, it was much more effective to get rid of things I didn't need, than to figure out which of several possible duplicates of an Image I did need.

  • Converting excel source into csv format

    Hi,
    I have to convert excle source into csv format.
    my excel source has around 40000 records.
    Please give me the suggestions how to do it.
    Thanks,
    Venkat

    Or, if this is going to be an ongoing issue with new files needing to be converted, there are several utilities out there of various quality and price which can be considered. A quick google turned up a whole host of options for various platforms.
    I can't comment on any of them as I haven't used them, but clearly there are several converters with command-line interfaces which should be capable to be utilized as an external command in your process flow.
    Like: http://www.softinterface.com/Convert-XLS/Features/Convert-XLS-To-CSV.htm
    Heck, if you really want to have fun and DIY, I know that there are native Perl Excel modules, so you could always build your own and make it cross-platform!

  • Flash into Director tutorials?

    Hi.
    Can anybody recomend some beginners tutorials for bringing
    Flash into Director?
    Thanks

    Sure, do you have more than one button in the Flash .swf? Do
    you want to
    send something unique from the Flash button, or do you just
    want the
    button to act as a trigger for the frame change?
    You can use getURL("lingo:functionName(args)"); to call a
    Lingo function
    in a movie script.
    You can use getURL("event:functionName,arg1"); to call a
    lingo function
    in a behavior attached to the Flash sprite.
    You can use getURL("string to send"); to send data to a
    function called
    on getURL me, data in a behavior attached to the Flash
    sprite.
    The syntax for each is unique. The first two examples expect
    any
    argument to the Lingo function to be a number. You can use a
    string if
    you escape the quotation marks. The third example just sends
    a string.
    You can also send the contents of an array.

  • Data Extraction from Multiple data sources into a single Infoprovider

    Hi Experts,
    Can anyone send me links or examples on how to extract data from multiple data sources into 1 Cube/DSO.
    Can anyone send me example scenarios for extracting data from 2 data sources into a single Cube/DSO.
    Thanks
    Kumar

    Hi Ashok,
    Check the following link from SAP help. Ths is probably what you are looking for.
    [ Multiple data sources into single infoprovider|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm]
    Data from multiple data sources which are logically related and technicall have the same key can be combined into single record.
    For example, if you have Sales order item and sales order item status .
    These both have the same key - sales order and item and are logically related.
    The Sales order item - provides information on Sales order item - material , price, quantity, plant etc.
    The item status  - povides information on delivery status, billing status, rejection status....
    These are two different data sources 2LIS_!1_VAITM ad 2LIS_11_VASTI.
    In case you have few master data attributes coming from different systems ie tow data sources in different systems say completely defines your master data. Then you could use a DSO or infoobject to combine the records.
    If you want to see aggregated data you use a cube.
    ie say you want to analyzae the customer revenue on a particular material and a particular project.
    The project details would come from Project syatem and Sales details fom sales flow.
    The data is then combined in the DSO with key cutomer and sales area say.
    Then it is aggregated at cube level...by not using sales order in the cube model...so all sales order of the same customer would add while loading the cube.. to give direct customer spend values for your sales area at aggregated level.
    Hope this helps,
    Best regards,
    Sunmit.

    Hi,
    to import from multiple data sources, first configure ODBC connections for respective data sources. then you can import data from multiple data sources. When you import the data, a connection pool will create automatically.

    We are trying to close caption our telecasts. We get the captioning files done out of house, pull them back into Premiere, and then embed them. The TV station requires .mxf files with the file embedded as a 708 stream, to play on their Grass Valley K2 video servers. We have tried multiple scenarios and cannot get the captions to display.
    Whenever I export, it becomes a 608 stream, and will not play on their servers.

    Hello there,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having a problem. Thank you for taking the time to post here.
    Here are some questions:
    1. What version of PPRO are you using? MAC or WIN?
    2. Is the caption data you are embedding a 708 caption stream?
    3. When you re-import the MXF with captioning embedded back into PPRO, does it show 708 closed captions in PPRO?
    PPRO will embed 708 caption streams to MXF -- I just did this, re-imported the embedded MXF to PPRO, and I see the captions in the MXF.
    If you could share one of your files with me, I could take a look.
    Take care and thanks again,

  • Trouble Import Flash MX into Director MX

    Hi I am newbie.
    I had made a flash mx movie named main.swf. In this flash, i
    put a movieclip that loads a video named video.flv from a folder
    named Video.
