Swf won't import

Hi
I've created a simple swf that has 9 images fading in and out
via actionscripting. I want to import that swf into the flash
library of another flash file which will be my preloader, but when
I import the fading swf only the first image is brought into the
library as a bitmap and actual swf doesn't import.
Clearly the fault seems to lie with the original fading swf,
but what am I doing wrong? The fading swf is published for Flash 8
with Actionscripting 2. I have tried playing around with my
publishing elements to see if that would make a difference, but no
luck. Can anybody help me?
Thanks!

No .. the problem is with Flash itself .. it is VERY poor at
importing SWF
files. It strips things out (like script, sound, movieclip
content, shape
tweens etc etc)

  • IMovie Won't Import MP4 Files

    For some reason iMovie '11 won't let me import videos.  Specifically, I'm trying to add MP4 files that I copied to my hard drive from my GoPro HD 960.  For GoPro users, I used the R2 (720p) format.  They open properly in QuickTime and VLC but can't be imported into iMovie (or iPhoto).  When I select File-->Import-->Movies and browse to the directory where I saved all the .mp4 files on my hard drive, they're all greyed out.  And actually, it seems that just about no video files at all on my computer can be added (all greyed out)--even other MP4 files.
    I downloaded MPEG Streamclip but that says "unrecognized file format" when I try opening the videos.  I also installed Perian and rebooted.
    In case it helps:
    - I have an Intel MacBook running OS X 10.6.8 with iLife '11
    - QuickTime info for the video format says "H.264, 1280 x 720, Millions; AAC, 2 channels, 48000 Hz"
    - VLC says "Stream 0 (Video) - Codec: avc1" and "Stream 1 (Audio) - Codec: mp4a"
    Any ideas?  This is incredibly frustrating!

    Why iMovie Won't Import MP4 Files?
    Technically, iMovie does import MP4 video. However, iMovie only import MP4 files that are encoded with MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC data. And yet, MP4 is a video container format that may contain various audio and video codec (and sometimes even subtitle streams included). If the MP4 file is not encoded with iMovie support codec, iMovie will refuse to import this kind of MP4 video.
    How to Solve Can't Import MP4 into iMovie?
    In order to successfully import all kinds of MP4 files to iMovie, a recommended solution is to convert iMovie unrecognized MP4 to iMovie supported video format.
    iDealshare VideoGo is just the right MP4 to iMovie Converter which can convert various MP4 to iMovie supported MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MOV or DV. Besides converting MP4 to iMovie, iDealshare VideoGo also helps to convert other video formats including AVI, WMV, MPEG, VOB, MOV, AVCHD, MTS, M2T, M2TS, TOD, MOD, XAVC, FLV, MKV, SWF, 3GP, MVI, ASF and etc to iMovie video format.

  • Is this possible - Import Flash swf which then imports an external swf

    Hi,
    I was wondering if it's possible to (as the title says) to import an swf which itself imports an external swf?
    Explanation - I've got an scrollbar created in flash...and to keep it tidy i've created the scroll 'content' as another swf which is imported into  the scrollbar swf.
    Whenever i publish/render the project the scroll bar appears but the content does not.
    Is it possible to do this?
    Captivate > imports flash > which imports external swf
    Cheers
    Craig.

    Yes that shouldn't be a problem at all. You probably won't be able to see it working when you preview the project from within Captivate but if you publish it and manually copy/paste the external swf to the publish directory, it should work just fine.

  • Swf won't load on web but ok locally (believe only video playback issue)

    Hi all,
    I am very new to flash....literally first day into it.
    I converted a mov into flv and imported the flv with playback component. When I publish, I am able to see both (via the swf and the html) from my browser. Once I uploaded the swf and html onto my webserver (both files are stored in the same folder just like how I had it locally), the swf won't display the video.
    Now, I have a button (when clicked, it skips the playback and go directly to the site) and the button works fine. So, I think it is only limited to the video playback.
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi Ned,
    I was just fiddling with it and it seems to be working now.  I think your advice of putting the flv there helped?!?! Thanks a billion!
    http://www.astoryconcept.com/index1.html
    The only minor issue that I need to fix and not sure how yet:
    -it stops during the initial playback (I guess my flv is a little large 4mb and I might have to optimize it to a smaller file)
    -it didn't center itself when I drag the browser larger/smaller
    Now that it works, I want to see if I could optimize it. Wandering if there is a "BETTER/EASIER" way to take me to a url at the end of the video playback.
    What I did in here:
    I created a cuepoint at 23 second (that's the end of the video) and it will take me to a url (here: adobe.com). Below is the actionscript I had in there (using code snipper) [One is for "Skip Intro" that will bring me to cnn.com; and the other one is the cuepoint that will take me to adobe.com):
    ================================================================
    /* Click to Go to Web Page
    Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
    Instructions:
    1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
       Keep the quotation marks ("").
    skip_intro_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
    function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.cnn.com"), "_blank");
    /* On Cue Point Event Handler
    Executes the fl_CuePointHandler function defined below each time a cue point is passed in the specified video instance.
    Instructions:
    1. Add your custom code on a new line after the line that says "// Start your custom code" below.
    The code will execute when cue points are reached in a video that is playing.
    import fl.video.MetadataEvent;
    video.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, fl_CuePointHandler);
    function fl_CuePointHandler(event:MetadataEvent):void
    // Start your custom code
    // This snippet code displays the cue point's name in the Output panel
    // trace(event.info.name);
    var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com/");
    navigateToURL(url);
    // End your custom code

  • Which swf can be imported to stage?

    what are the restrictions as to which swf file can be
    imported to the
    library.
    I am asking because sone swf would not get imported. In sense
    that when
    importing them nothing happens. Now error is issued and
    nothing get imported

    I spotted it, thanks. I was unchecked, yet the swf would not
    import.
    Actually I noticed this problem while ago and posted a query
    here, but
    no-one reply. That time I did some experiments and it seemed
    that swf which
    were made by importing graphics and placing it on stage were
    OK to import.
    The swf where the graphic was placed into the library and
    then used
    dynamically with attachMovie(), work fine on its own, but
    would not get
    imported.
    PS. For the moment I do not know the FLASH classed and I am
    reluctant to
    Load at a runtime because for ceratin resons I need the
    published
    application be encapsulated in a single Windows exe
    projector. Anyway,
    before considering other ways I need to know what is wron
    with this one

  • I have a an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes. All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem.

    I have an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes.
    All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem. The movie in question is not 'corrupt' as you can watch it in iMovie direct from the SD card but as soon as you try to import it, it  just says 'error'. iIve tried moving the file to an external drive ( and other variations on this theme) then importing but have had no luck.
    Can anyone please help me.

    The mystery remains....
    Thanks for the pointers. The file type is .mts (a proprietry sony one).
    I have now found some video converter software (Wondershare and iSkysoft) at a cost. Either will convert this file for me into .mp4. This I can then import into iMovie without any problems. I've checked this on the trial versions and it worked well but without paying am left with a giant watermark in the video
    The mystery (which I still havent solved) is why did 20 other .mts files import fine and then this one not?
    If you could point me in the direction of some free .mts converter software that would be the cherry on the cake.
    Thanks

  • IMovie HD won't import from Sony HDR-HC1

    iMovie HD 5.0.2 (111) on my G5 desktop controls, but won't import from, my new little Sony HDR-HC1 1080i DV camcorder. Same was the case with my 12" 1 GHz PowerBook until, at the advice of a Manhattan Beach Genius Bar tech, I did an archive reinstall of 10.4 and a reinstall of iMovie HD on both my G5 PowerMac and G4 PowerBook and then downloaded all the updates. Now my PowerBook works, but my PowerMac still won't import. On an empty second HD in my PowerMac I installed OS 10.4 and iMovie HD ONLY (to create as sterile as possible of an environment), made the 2nd HD my startup drive, and still iMovie HD on my PowerMac will not import from this camera (although it will from an older Sony VX-1000 regular def camcorder).
    Does anybody have any solutions, or any idea why iMovie HD now imports on my PowerBook but after the same makeover still won't on my PowerMac?
    Per earlier posts, I tried playing some piano notes in Garage Band, trashing the iMovie preference files, and reinstalling QuickTime (the tech had heard QT 7.0.3 could be at fault from becoming corrupted in certain updating combinations), all to no avail.
    HELP!

    I have had import/capture problems using FW drives with FCE/iMovie5 and my 2gig iMac. My canon GL2 works fine but only when no other FW devices are connected to the FW port I use the computers internal drive to capture. If your using the G5's internal SATA drives this (below) may not apply.

  • My iPod won't import all the songs on iTunes

    My iPod Classic won't import all the songs in iTunes. Any ideas?

    Hello Tony,
    It sounds like you are trying to transfer music from your iPod to your computer. 
    Are the songs that are transferring over iTunes purchases?  Music imported from a CD or other source that is on your iPod cannot be transferred to a computer from your iPod, but music purchased from the iTunes Store can.  You can find more information at the following link:

  • How do I get my music from Media center to my iphone. Itunes won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.

    How do I get my music from Media Center to my iphone 4s. Itunes 10.5 won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone plugged into the USB port so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.

    Hello and welcome to the support community
    As you know, your iPhone 5 is not compatible with our iBook G4. To get your music in iTunes from your iBook to your iPhone you would need to migrate the music files to a newer intel based Mac. A Mac which has Mac OS X 10.6 or higher installed. Then sync your iPhone 5.

  • Media Encoder won't import MXF files from Canon XF100

    I'm running Media Encoder CC on two laptops: a macbook pro and a macbook air. Both systems are running the most recent version of Media Encoder CC (including updates) but only one will import MXF files from a Canon XF100? The macbook air imports and encodes the files without issue, however the macbook pro won't import the same MXF files and kicks the following error:
    The file /Users/.../.../.../AA0106.MXF could not be imported. Could not read from source. Please check the settings and try again.
    I could understand if both computers errored but using the same file, one will import and the other will not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Just try this and see if it will work for you.
    Open iPhoto > Preferences > General and deselect 'Connecting camera opens: iPhoto'.
    Change it to 'No Application' and close iPhoto.
    Now connect your camera to your computer and turn it on or better still use a card reader.
    If iMovie tries to open, close it.
    Your camera/card should now appear as an external drive.
    Copy/paste your video files into a new folder on your desktop.
    Eject and disconnect your camera/card.
    Now open iMovie and go File > Import > Movies... and navigate to that folder.

  • Premiere CC won't import AAC audio

    I'm trying to loop two videos together in Premiere Pro CC 2014.1. One of the videos won't import the audio, just the video track. The audio is in AAC format, the video is a MPEG-4 movie with H.264 format. Every other video I've tried imports as usual, but for some reason the audio drops off on this one. The video plays just fine in Quicktime with the audio track. When I import it, the audio track drops off and only the video track shows up.
    I didn't create the video, so I don't have access to the original working files. Anyone know any workarounds or fixes for this?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for responding, but I work for a very small company and since I'm the only one who needs CC, I have the personal version installed.
    Also this appears to be a blanket issue with all audio and video file formats, thus not likely a codec issue since the files I've tried so far should be covered by premiere's compatibility, the even play in windows media player with no issue.
    Video itself plays fine, but any audio attached to a video, or just plain audio files will not import no matter what I try.
    Sorry my info didn't help.
    Two things to try.
    Create a brand new project and test if you can import the problematic files.
    If that does not work, change the name of the folder that contains your media files. Then try to import.
    Let us know what happens.
    Thanks,

  • Can't import photos into iPhoto-- it sees them but won't import

    I've been using iPhoto with my Mac Mini for almost a year now without a single issue (that's the main reason I bought a mac). I believe I have iPhoto 08 (I bought the computer 1 year ago). I have a newer Canon point-and-shoot that I've been using. About 1 month ago I did a software update to iPhoto, so it's pretty much up to date.
    Everything has been fine for almost a year, then all the sudden, iPhoto hangs when I try to import my latest batch of photos. It will pull them into the import preview window (I can see all of them), but when I try to "Import All" it just hangs. I have to turn off the camera just to get the program to unfreeze (after patiently waiting a few minutes). For some odd reason, just 1 of the 70 photos makes it in (there are a few videos, but they won't import either).
    Here's the error message:
    Unreadable Files: 69
    The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data).

    Any ideas? I'm desperate because there's some wonderful picks of our kids on there that I don't want to lose.
    Thanks a bunch

    It’s part of the basic install of OS X. So unless you deleted it then it’s there in your apps folder. If you have deleted it, it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. You will be able to extract the installation package using Pacifist.
    Alternatively, if you’re using almost any camera +apart from a Canon+ then the camera card is visible on the desktop and you can drag the movie to the desktop using the Finder and import from there.
    No matter what camera you use, if you pop the card from it into a USB Card Reader then it will be accessible via the Finder. Card Readers are inexpensive and all round a better idea.
    Why use a Card Reader?
    Because it’s safer: Less risk of your images being lost if your camera shuts down during transfer.
    Because it saves the battery on your camera
    Because it saves wear and tear on your camera ports
    Because it’s almost always faster.

  • Organizer in Photoshop Elements 9 won't import large NEF files

    Photoshop Elements 9 won't import the NEF fiels from my new Nikon D800.

    Yes, the camera is too new for PSE9. You will have to either:
    Upgrade to PSE11
    Download the free Adobe DNG Converter Version 7.3 and use that to convert your NEFs to DNGs, and then PSE9 will be able to import them
    Use the Nikon software to convert the file to TIF, then import into PSE.
