Hi,
Is it possible to tell how large in kb a flash animation is?
(like when
you right click an image)

OK... I thought there was some smart way of doing this.
Thanks.

How can I insert different sizes of Flash in a Fluid Grid layout?

I am trying to develop a simple website based on the standard template 10. For this example there are 3 sizes of each image used, to suit the 3 display sizes.
I wish to do the same with a flash animation, but cannot see how.
The "@media screen" feature is a CSS only device, whereas the flash animation has to be in the HTML code.
Being very new to web design, the answer may be simple, and I hope someone can help.

Short answer: Don't use Flash. It's not web friendly and won't work in most mobile devices.
Long answer: Depends on what you're using animations for. Look at Edge Animate or jQuery or CSS3 Transitions which work in all mobile / tablet devices:

Is Flash animation possible in iWeb?

I've tried dragging .swf files I made in Keynote into iWeb, but they just show up in a movie player and not a self playing animation. It wouldn't even show the transitions I made. Has anyone figured out if it's even possible to add Flash?
Maybe in March a Pro version of iWeb will debut along with the other new Universal Pro Apps. Here's hopin'. Other than that, iWeb is pretty dang cool.
<http://web.mac.com/archstanton1862/iWeb/TrickRacing>

I'm not privy to the details and deals made between Macromedia (now Adobe) that allowed QuickTime 4 play Flash version 3 formats. The QT 5 allowed version 4 of Flash. And, 6 allowed Flash 5. Seems they were always one version number behind.
QuickTime 7 can't open Flash published higher than version 5, still. No version 6 support and nothing about Flash MX and newer versions (now up to 8, I believe).
If you want to hide the movie controller (I do it all the time in my pages) just set the html code for controller="false" in both the object and embed tags.
QuickTime also allows "progressive download" (a.k.a. Fast Start). Again, a simple html tag is all that is usually needed (autoplay="true") for this function to work.
The feature of Flash animation that allows this speed is its use of "objects". Once created, they can be morphed into different shapes or reused without increasing file size. Video formats can't do that. And neither does your Keynote export even though it is in Flash file format.
Vector graphics (scalable) are another Flash feature but QT can do some vector graphic formats (text files are an example).
Flash files usually display quickly (small file size) and don't demand much on a CPU because of what they are. Nothing to do with the file content,
Lastly, the Flash format was never intended for "video" formats. They don't do the colors (8 bit 256 colors is the normal limit of Flash) that most graphics now demand.

Get border when resizing flash anim in dreamweaver

Hello, I'm needing some help , I'm not sure weather its something i'm doing in dreamweaver or weather I need to export the flash anim with the document properties just a little bit smaller than the flash anim when exporting when in theory shouldn't have to do?
the problem I'm having is I export a flash anim out of flash I make sure the document properties and the flash anim line up so theres no visible boarder when exiting.
when I'm at the button stage and drag onto the stage to be able to export, ( sometimes I find that the flash border - say if my anim is 220 by 185 . when i click on it (dragged button with movie inside from libarary to stage)
the stage - as I am told I can't export a flash anim with an alpha white off the flash stage I have to make the stage the same size as the button -
So i make the stage size 220 by 185 when I'm dragging the button to line up to the stage I find sometimes its off?
Is there a better way to export a flash anim as it is without having to change stage properties then dragging the button to fit the stage then get url options ect.
anyways. I am finding that I am having to make the stage size (in flash ) a few extra pixels smaller than the box button 220 by 185 so what i'm doing is making the stage say 218 by 183 to then draggin the button inbetween the lines on the doccument border in flash. then exporting.
I find if i Don't do this sometimes in dreamweaver, when I open dreamweaver instert app div then import swf into the app dif then resize the swf I get a boarder.
But even then I find sometimes if i do an app div then insert media swf and resize the swf i get a border, say if i make the boarder properties in flash red.
sometimes I get a red boarder.
but on other pages say i have a about page I resized it its fine then on another page import app dive then impor the exact same swf file resize it it suddenly gets a boarder (i'm testing using red backround in flash when exporting as a movie.
why do sometimes I get a boarder around swf in an app div when importing into dreamweaver.
thanks kindly

I read this twice and still don't quite know what you're asking. Flash questions are best posted in the Flash forum.
Animations used in Web pages should be sized appropriately before you bring them into Dreamweaver. Same goes for static images. If you need a 200px wide banner, design it at 200px wide.
As for APDivs, honestly don't know why you would need one. A regular CSS division (no positioning) is all that's required for 98% of layouts. http://apptools.com/examples/pagelayout101.php
For answers to layout questions, we need a link to your test page.

Place fixed flash animation in Dreamweaver

Hi All,
I am a complete beginner with Dreamweaver, and having great
problems fixing the size of a flash animation I'm playing as an
intro. I have managed to get the animation in and it centred, but
when I tested it on another computer I noticed it had stretched and
for some reason it was possible to minimise the animation by using
the + and - signs whilst in the browser window. How can I prevent
this from happening, so no matter what machine you view from it
keeps the size and position the same.
Any advice will be much appreciated.

Hi
You will have to place your code for the flash file inside the code for the picture frame. If you have used the picture frame as a background image then position your flash file using a combination of css rules as required.
Another way (if you have flash pro), is to use the picture frame as a skin for your flash file.

Overlay live video feed with flash animation

I am using a webcam to allow people see themselves on a screen. I would like to overlay the video with some flash animation (simple graphics of planes, cars etc.) going across the screen.
How do I achieve this?

Hi IEC,
Having just finished an app that has two ROI overlay layers ontop of a
static image, I might be able to give you some ideas. All of the below
assumes that you know basic Labview programming.
- I have not used IMAQ yet, and so am not sure what front panel control
type will render the live video images. But, I'm not sure that matters.
- If you can place an XY Graph over your video display on the front panel then we have it made
- stretch the size of the XY Graph so that the plot area matches the size and placement of your video image panel
- make the plot area of the XY graph transparent.
- you can also make the border of the XY graph transparent
- if you want a scale for your video then use the scale of the XY Graph to show the scale of your video images
- then it's just a matter of defining the XY points of the ROIs that you want to plot on the XY Graph
- if you want multiple ROIs then each can be a different color by making them different channels to the XY Graph
- if you just want a few straight lines, and want to be able to move
the lines around in realtime then you can get a little fancier:
       - turn on the cursor legend for the XY Graph
       - create two cursors for each line that
you need (a start point cursor, and an end point cursor)
       - set the color and cursor style as desired
       - in your main loop:
                 - use the XY Graph "crsr list" property to get the XY positions of the various cursors
      - those cursor XY positions become
points of line segments fed to the XY Graph to plot (draws a line
between the cursors)
       - In realtime, as you move the cursors, the line segments move accordingly
In my particular app I had to provide a mechanism for the user to
create ovals, rectangles, polygons and freehand ROIs. Then I also
needed mechanisms to rotate, pan or expand/compress the ROIs. This is a
bit more challenging, but very do-able.
Hope that helps,
RMP

Reducing CPU usage of Flash animation

Hello!
I have a simple Flash animation - fading in and out different
images. I have done it with an Actionscript (changing alpha value).
That worked ok only on new processors - on all others it eats 100%
CPU. I then tried to do it with timeline (motion tween between 2
alpha values of picture). Now it is considerably better, but on
CPUs lower than 2 GHz it still eats 100% CPU. Size of animation is
940x160. How can I do this fading correctly so that CPU will not
have to do so much calculations?? Please help me!

sent too soon - TINT to the solid white background - always
avoid alpha whenever possible as flash
will have to calculate the difference in colors throughout
the tween - Tinting is far more processor
friendly.

Flash animations in Captivate look choppy

I am using Flash animations in Captivate 3. The animations
are published to Flash Player 6 before being embedded in Captivate.
The Captivate project is in turn published to Flash Player 9.
The animations look good in the published Captivate SWF when
I run the SWF directly in Flash Player. However, if I run the SWF
in a browser (I tried both IE & Firefox, having Flash Player
9.0.45.0), the animations look very choppy and slow. What could be
the reason?
Regards,
Mohsin

Kevin & Rick,
Thanks for your responses. I diagnosed the problem. It did
not have anything to do with frame rates.
What was actually happening is that my Captivate SWF was
1024x768 originally, but when opening it in an HTML, I was NOT
loading it at 100% of its size. Instead, I was loading it at
880x660 in the OBJECT tag of my HTML, which was causing the issue.
Even when I would open the SWF directly using IE, IE would resize
the content in order to display it completely, thereby causing the
animations playing within to rescale. This, somehow, made them look
choppy.
Cheers!

You'll probably need to spend time learning how to create things in Flash--maybe try lynda.com. Flash can be used for the animation and mouse interaction revealing text. Once you are able to create the animation in Flash, you can have Flash publish both the swf file, which is what goes into the web page, and an html file. You can copy the code from the Flash html file into the Dreamweaver file wherever you intend the Flash file to be inserted.

Flash animation big but with no browser scrolls

Here's my problem,
I'm building a website that occupies full screen size (100%),
i'm doing this so i can adapt to many resolutions and not do a
fixed size site.
So here's my problem. I want a flash animation banner to be
100% too, without resizing, streching or shrinking. So what i
thought was creating a large size animation and then simply not
have the browser's scrollbars. Much like the images you can put in
table cells background.
Still i can't seem to put my large in width animation to not
make the browsers scroll appear.
Can someone help me out? Thanks

It's called crashing. Unfortunatly its common but it can't be fixed. A restore will help but not fix

Need a flash animator expert

Greetings,
For a large flash animation project I'd like to contact Flash
Animators.
If anyone could point me to a list of the best flash
animators, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hello friends, I need your help urgently. I have a Nokia 2700c and I need the answer of following questions serialwise : (1) Can Nokia 2700c be installed with Flash Player, Dictionary and PDF reader? If yes,then, how much memory size will it be covered? (2) In the internet advertisement, there is availability of PDF reader to be downloaded for Nokia 2700c with different memory capacities. Can that be downlaoded directly from the mobile? Can that be involved virus? (3) There is also internet advt for antivirus for Nokia 2700c to be downloaded. Can that be directly downloaded from the mobile? Can that antivirus itself be the virus? PLEASE REPLY.

Adding flash animation to PE9

A client wants to incorporate a short flash animation into a video I am producing. I was given a SWF and FLV. I imported the SWF, and best I got was a still image. FLV wasn't even recognized. I could swear I had done this with an old version of elements, but perhaps not. I am willing to install a codec or coverter. I'm not picky. I'd rather not just buy Pro 5.5 (I have Pro CS3) if I can avoid it. Any advice would be great!

Steve,
With the Moyea Flash Importer plug-in for PrPro, up to CS3, that program can Import and edit FLV's.
With about the second, or third update for PrPro CS4, full FLV (depends on the exact CODEC used in the FLV - no Sorenson Spark) Import and editing is possible.
I have the Moyea Flash Importer plug-in, and it has worked very well.
Also, there is a utility (cannot recall if it was freeware, or shareware) called FLV to AVI, that has worked pretty well for me, though not nearly so well, as with the Moyea product.
Now, there can be things to consider:
There is no direct plug-in for PrE, and the Premiere plug-in only lists PrPro.
Most FLV's are tiny in their Frame Sizes, so that is a major consideration.
Often, the FPS of FLV's will be lower, so again, another issue.

Center Flash animation in window?

Hi, all. I'd like to get my Flash animation to run centered
in the browser window, remaining at a fixed size regardless of how
the window is resized on screen. Is there some code I can add to
the Flash-generated HTML page to make this happen? Better yet, I'd
like it to open in a fixed-size window with dimensions matching the
Flash animation. Can anyone help me out? I'd appreciate it.

This is really an HTML/Javascript problem and not
particularly complicated. You can try a popup window as described
in the tutorial here:
http://www.tizag.com/javascriptT/javascriptpopups.php
Or you can use CSS/HTML to center the <OBJECT> tag that
corresponds to your flash movie. The easiest thing is probably to
put that <object> tag in a table like this
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD align="center" valign="middle"><OBJECT>(this
object tag is generated by flash)</OBJECT></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

How do I make multiple buttons in my flash animation?

I am new to flash, and I have no training in it whatsoever. I
created a flash animation with flash CS3 for my photography
website, and I want to link each of the images to different
galleries on my site. When I created my first button it worked
fine, but when I try to create actions to link more than one image
as a button, keep getting an error that says "1021: Duplicate
function definition." How do I make each image as a separate
button?
I used the video of this tutorial as my guide to learn how to
create a button:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/flash/articles/flacs3it_firstflash_pt1.html
Also, when I run the animation to test it, it loops, and I
don't want it to loop. How do I stop it from looping?

I used the method shown in the tutorial I mentioned to create
it (created a new layer for the button, selected the area of the
image for the button,used modify -> convert to symbol
-> button, I edited it so it was an invisible button by
moving it to the hit frame, gave the selected area an instance name
of Hizumi_btn, inserted a new layer for actions and added the code
I have attached to this post.
I assumed that I would just need to repeat this procedure for
each of the other images in my animation, but when I did that I
received the error.
I greatly appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks for the information on how to stop the animation.
Here is the code I used to create my first button.
