Save swf format to gif format?

Hi, I'm new to Captivate. I've created a swf file in Captivate, but want to save it, or convert it, to .gif format. How can I do this?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi there
Captivate doesn't do this. You will need to use some third party software to make it happen.
I know there are many packages out there in the wild that claim to convert SWF to GIF. I'm sure that each one is different and will probably do the job in different ways with varying results. I'd suggest using Google to locate SWF to GIF conversion and experiment with a few of them to see how well they work.
Cheers... Rick

Does Adobe Media Encoder save/export in swf format?

Does Adobe Media Encoder save/export in swf format?
If yes how?
Thanks

SWF is not a video format. That is why the Flash Video (FLV and F4V) formats exist.
The are very inefficient ways of making SWF behave in some ways like a video format, such as creating a SWF file that uses a sequence of JPEG or PNG image frames, but such files are enormous and have other problems. After Effects has this option, which was created before Flash Video (F4V and FLV) formats were invented, but that does not mean that a modern video encoder like AME should add this very obsolete feature.
The way that people create video for Flash Player is to create F4V or FLV files. You can embed or link those in a SWF file using Flash Professional.

How to save applet in image(gif/jpeg) format

Hi there !
how to save applet in image (gif/jpeg) format. i have just gone through JIMI package where serilization is there ,WHERE U CAN SORE in image format ...........can anybudy help me out.........if possible then pleeez provide me some example.
Thanks in advan...........

I think that is possible because i have seen some commercial applets that do that.
-http://www.izhuk.com/painter/
-http://www.lawrencegoetz.com/programs/signature/
Thses two saves the image in the server since applets cant write in the host they are running. Maybe it would be possible whit JFS, i don't know.
For now I am trying to store an image draw in the applet on my server.
My idea now is copying the image to a buffer or something, open a connection to the server and receive the image with a perl CGI.
There is an example with text:

I want to do something similar but with an image.

Scheduling Xcelsius report in Infoview for SWF format

Experts,
Can I know how do I schedule Xcelsius report in Infoview for SWF format.
My report is ready and user wanted this report everyday morning.
I am refreshing it manually and sending him.
I want to write flash file in a share location.
Please help me.

Hi,
Unfortunately, scheduling of the swf files are not possible at the moment.
You can manually export the swf to a network location.
Thanks,

CS5 "save as" format menu changed when creating new document

Hi,
When creating a new document in photoshop CS5 i cannot save as a jpeg or png or the other large list of file types i used to have in the save as format menu,
below is what i used to be able to save as but can only do this when actually opening a jpeg file and not when creating a new document
this is the options i have now
i haven't been using photoshop that long and am no genius with pc's so i'm a little lost here, does anyone know why this has happened and if there is a solution to this, your help will be greatly appreciated. my spec are windows 7 64bit, core i7, nvidia 260gtx.

It looks as if you are creating documents in a format incompatible with certain file types.
For example, check in the New dialog that it is set for RGB Color – 8-bit.

Hi There,
Can you tell me the Operating System and Captivate version you are using?
Also can you confirm if you are getting this issue will this one project or all the projects? Try to copy paste this project on a new blank project and then try to publish.

Adobe Reader 9 and XI do not save other formats to PDF.

I had Adobe Reader 9 on PC Windows 7. I am sure I used to be able to save other file formats to PDF with Reader, but when I try now, I get the sign saying "The printer name is invalid" and the file wouldn't be saved to PDF. I tried uninstalling Reader 9 and installing Reader XI. Exactly the same thing happens. Does anyone know what this sign means and how the problem can be solved? Any suggestions gratefully received.

Adobe Reader doesn't save other formats as PDF.
You probably had Adobe Acrobat if you remember doing this. They look similar.

Exporting graphics in SWF format

Dear all,
I have a question regarding Illustrator. I have recently produced a graphic containing a lot of gradient shading using the MESH TOOL.
Ideally I would like to export this into Flash in SWF format but everytime I do this the outines and solid areas of colour are exported as vectorised graphics but the areas containing the gradient shading produced using the MESH TOOL are all rasterized as solid pixelated graphics. Is there anyway around this? Do I have to do something to the graphic in illustrator before exporting. Any suggestions would be really appreciated. My email is [email protected] I could send you the original graphic to see where I am possibly going wrong.
Thanks and regards
Keith

If I recall correctly gradient mesh objects are just not supported in the swf export process.

Query regarding conversion of Quick Time movie files to .swf format

Hello Everyone,
Is it possible to convert QT movie files to .swf format using
any tool ?
Will it significantly reduce the file size ?
Suppose we have a QT movie file of size 3MB , when it is
converted to .swf
format what will be its size ?
Then can we play this .swf file using QT player or we require
flash player
to do so .
Kindly answer these queries.
Thanking you,
With Best regards,
Anil.

Hi Anil.
Yes, you can. You can import QT movies into Flash and embed
the movie and then
export an swf version of it. You can also convert teh video
to a FLV (Flash
video) and have a swf that provides the controls and player
for it.
> Will it significantly reduce the file size ?
File size probably will go down but that depnds on what
compression the orginal
QT has and what compression you use when importing to Flash.
I'd say start with
a high quality QT, then try various compression levels when
importing to get
the best size to quality balance.
> Suppose we have a QT movie file of size 3MB , when it is

Is hard to say - as mentione dabove, depends on what the QT's
compression is.
> Then can we play this .swf file using QT player or we

> to do so .
You'll have to play the swf through Flash. Why would you wnat
to play it
through QT?
What's the output for - CD/web? I'd suggest FLVs ratehr than
an embedded vidoe
into a swf as you can get better quality control and
playback.

I need help to convert photos in the .swf format to a format that will open on iOS

I need help converting photos in the .swf format to a format that will work on my Mac. Thanks

SWF is a Flash file that should be able to be opened with your web browser on your Mac. Probably not on iOS though.
You will likely need to find the source file for the application that created the SWF and the image will be in that. You could then export/extract the image and have it as a stand alone file.
It does look like there are applications that can do what you are looking for though: https://www.google.com/search?q=SWF+to+JPG

SWF format

Hi folks..
i developped one dashboard.When i export to SWF format it showing in small format.Please help me how to increase the size of the swf format...\
Thanks,
Yogisha

Hi Yogisha ,
Max font size you have given in your xlf file is the max font size that you can expect for a swf file in info view.
SWF size is completely dependent on your screen size ,it fits according to screen size.
so always keep the canvas size to 'Fit Canvas to Components'
Try doing the following in your infoview page
Uncheck all the tool bar options so that ur screen size is considerably good.
I hope this helps you.

Converting swf file to Gif/Jpeg/Png file

Hi,
I want to save a flash file(swf) in the server as gif/jpeg/png file. Problem is that if on the browser i want to take a snapshot of flash file then how can I convert that SWF file to gif file before sending it to server.

I used third party java library "Flagstone Software" the sample code for which is as follows:
File aFile = new File("Flashfile.swf");
byte[] bytes = new byte[(int)aFile.length()];
System.out.println("**Number of bytes in before encoding= "+bytes.length);
try {
FileInputStream imageContents = new FileInputStream(aFile);
imageContents.read(bytes);
imageContents.close();
FSMovieObject fsMov = new FSDefineJPEGImage(26,bytes);
byte[] b = ((FSDefineJPEGImage)fsMov).getImage();
ConstructingGif cGIF = new ConstructingGif(b);
catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
//throw new FileNotFoundException("MovieClip.swf");
catch (IOException e) {
//throw new IOException("MovieClip.swf");
The ConstructingGif class simply writes byte array to disk with file extension as gif or jpeg.
Now when I try to open the generated file through Photo Editor, I am being shown the error message as "Can't determine type".
Is this the problem of encoding...If so then what can be the solution?

New Cinemagraph 3.5.4.10 saves as JPG, not GIF any...

Hi everyone, especially Lumia users
Have you install the new version of Cinemagraph?
Last days I read news on WPCentral, said that Cinemagraph bumped to the new version with 720p animations capabilities. Well, it's a good news after all, so I updated my Cinemagraph. This morning, I tried out this new Cinemagraph, and capture a short animations. I put some arrangements like crossfade and color effects, and save it to my memory card as usual.
The problem is, when I tried to get the GIF files by browsing the memory card from my computer, I cannot find any. It's just JPG and NAR files, and as you know it already, JPG is not an animation, right? Where is my GIF files then? Last version (before update), I am 100% sure that my Cinemagraph save the animations as GIF, as I can see my last GIFs around early June.
Anyone encountered this Cinemagraph issue too?
