Uploading Flash Project

I am new to Flash. Am trying to upload my first project...
Using Dreamweaver 8 in conjunction with Flash 8. I have created a
very simple slide show with Flash with a menu of text buttons which
link to several video files. The project plays perfectly in my
computer, but on the web, I'm only seeing the menu... minus the
videos. After hours of searching, I cannot figure out what I've not
done. I already had all of the video files uploaded, as I had
previously used the same ones in an HTML document. I uploaded the
.swf and .fla file that was published / exported to my Dreamweaver
files. I was anticipating seeing those video files, as they are a
part of my project... but the only files I found were the above two
mentioned. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!!! Lisa

the videos should appear to the right of the menu. I have
separate videos for each menu line. I used the flash slide show
application to build this menu. It's working beautifully here...
I'm wondering if I've uploaded all the files I should have. All of
the video files were already previously uploaded into that site, as
I had used them in a different way via Dreamweaver... so I know the
videos are operational. Do you think these files should be in a
certain order, once uploaded to the FTP host?

Embedding YouTube file in flash project

Hi guys,
Could someone please advise me how to embed a YouTube video file in particular place of my Flash project, should I do this in action panel or in final html file.
Here is exactly what I'd like to do: On this website www.aye-aye-media.com under 'Film' panel I have some movie samples, and after clicking buttons on right side I'd like to play embedded YouTube clips instead of flv.samples uploaded to my ftp. as it takes too long for customers to download them
Thank you in advance
Dom

ok, so, is it too difficult or too easy to do what I want?

Upload[flash plugin] button not working in few websites

When I am trying to upload file using general upload feature in Elance.com its showing error that my flash player is not updated or not working.
But the same is working properly when I am accessing elance.com in Internet Explorer, Chrome or Opera.
Example :
http://postimg.org/image/sxunooia1/
http://postimg.org/image/r7bmn70qx/
http://postimg.org/image/5tu6w3eyx/
Thanks,
Soumya

Thanks for the replies.
Yes I dont think that V 33 will solve my issue since its a longterm issue for me with Firefox.
I am having this problem particularly with few websites. One of them is Elance.com.
I get this error when I try to upload files in projects message section.
Does flash work on other websites? : Absolutely fine. For this particular issue I have to use IE or chrome to upload my project files in Elance.com.
Recently I noticed the same problem in Hightail.com. When the upload button never got highlighted while opened in Mozila but worked without any problem in IE or Chrome or Opera.
Are you using antivirus software/firewall that could potentially block connections (you don't seem to be using any extensions that block javascript/ads). : Currently I have Microsoft Security Essential and Malwarebytes installed. And no third party firewall.
Also, if it was a antivirus or firewall issue why the same problem not happening with Opera or Chrome since I didnt made any special changes in them for Mozila or chrome or Opera.
As of the site permission is concerned, I have checked that and its in "Use default" selected.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Which type of scheduling setting have you configured for WBS scheduling and for n/w. ?
Also, download calendar from SAP to MSP and then add column 'Task Calendar' in which select the downloaded calendar.
Check SAP NOTE 579761

Harsh.

Extracting resourse like .ai & png files from a flash project

Hi! I have been assined the task of extracting the images from old flash projects and am having a devil of a time doing so.
There are lots of programs that you can extract info out of the swf files, but these don't give you the original .ai Ilustrator files that may have been used to create the presentation with, or png files with transparent backgrounds.
Is there a plug-in in Flash that allows you to capture these items in the document? when I drag the item from the library (lets say a .ai file) to the stage and right click and copy it, it only gives me part of the item when I paste it back into illustrator... and when I drag the PNG resource to photoshop I get it with a background I do not want.
any help on this would be great!!!!
I have both cs3 and cs4 so a solution in either one would be great!

Well that is kinda what I've been doing, only its not quite that simple as doing it that way makes an image of what is on the entire stage. What I have to do is create a new project copy over all my library items to the new project, and pull over each one individually and do it that way.... if you have a lot of items in your library (which I do a lot of times since these contain a lot of animation sequenced into individual frames) this process can be quite tedious. Yes you can save out to .ai illustrator files this way as well.
I was hoping for something a little more... automatic or at least where I don't have to drop each item individually on a stage, reposition, ect...
But yes, the previous post is one way of doing it with some fooling around with.

Help! understand cs4 flash "Project"

Ok, In cs3 flash project was nice it did what i needed but
now it seems to take more time. the reason may be I'm not using it
for the reason usually used so new operations and features where
not geared to my usage. sorry for any spelling problems or
miss-usage of words.
How I use project. I use it to batch publish 10-100 files
while i go get a coffee.
so why am i writing this.
the cs4 version dose some things that i hope someone knows a
way around.
1. so i have my project file and all my flash files open(open
in project not open as a document) and now i have to check off each
10-100 files i want to publish. waist of time. i understand why its
done but anyone know a check all function?
2. in cs3 fash would hide the publishing visualy from me and
just output the file name to an output window when completed. in
cs4 it opens the file publishes and closes it then moves to the
next one. why? i don't need to see this and i feel its slowing the
process. is it?
3. ok side note cause i just dont know if its possible but is
there a way to override the publish settings for all the files to
follow one set way. example say i have 3 flies in the publish
settings file A says publish a jpeg and a swf, file B says publish
a mov and file C says publish a gif to a different location say my
desktop not the folder its in like the others. ok, now is there a
way to make them say publish as just a swf(or whatever) to say a
new empty folder named say new folder on the desktop. basically
overriding the publish settings.
ok thanks for any help and making my day shorter. if you know
of anything that might be easer please post

Best practice for putting together scenes in a Flash project?

Hi, I'm currently working on a flash project with the following characteristics:
using a PC
2048x1080 pixels
30 fps
One audio file that plays (once) continuously across the whole project
there are actions that relate to the audio, so the timing is important
at least 10 scenes
about 7 minutes long total
current intent is for it to be played in a modern theater as a surprise
What is the best practice for working on this project and then compiling it together?
Do it all in one project file?
Split the work into different project (xfl) files for each scene and then put it together when all the scenes are finalized?
Use one project file but create different "scenes" for each respective scene? I think this is the "classic" way (?).
Make the scenes "movie clips" and then insert them into the timeline with the audio as its own layer?
Other?
I'm currently working on it by having it all in one project file. But I've noticed that there's some lag (or it gets choppy) at certain parts during playback and the SWF history shows 3.1 MB with a yellow triangle with exclamation point symbol. Thanks in advance.

you would only do that if it makes your job easier. generally speaking, it would not.
when trying to sync sound and animation i think most authors find it easiest to use graphic symbols because you can see their animation when scrubbing the main timeline. with movieclips you only see their animation when testing.
however, if you're going to use actionscript to control some of your symbols, those symbols should be movieclips.

How to export a flash project with a changing frame rate to a video

I have a Flash project that is a series of roughly 1000 images. The result of the images is a simple animation, and there is music imported on a separate layer.
There are moments in the music that I wanted to line up with certain frame changes, and there are sections of the music that I wanted to match up with a faster (double-time) frame rate.
I used this code in several places in the a code layer:
stage.frameRate = x;
The result is exactly what I want in SWF -- the animation speeds up and slows down at the exact right moments to match up with the music track, but it seems like it's just not possible to export this variable frame rate project to a video file?
According to the accepted answer on this post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4019538, it seems that:
The export function in Flash Pro doesn't transcribe *frames*, rather it plays the Flash animation and records it like a camcorder
If that's true, then I would think there is a way to record a variable frame rate project into a video -- does anybody know if this is possible?

That or Premiere would both get the job done. After Effects might be more desirable as it has a feature called Time Remapping (right-click on the video layer, Time->Enable Time Remapping). You can add keyframes to any point in a video and then drag them around to speed up or slow down the video. That'll allow for very precise tweaks.
Finally all I'd suggest is when you jump into your next project, make a quick dummy test project to see if the software you're using is easily capable of producing what you want. It'll solve the headache of completing the project only to land where you are now. Now you know Flash won't play nicely with scripts and Export Movie. If your desired end result was always a video I'd probably use video editing software to make the video. There's some free stuff out there if you really look, but no, it won't be as nice as After Effects or Premiere by any stretch. Although when you see how amazing After Effects is, you'll probably want to buy it .

Emeding video in a flash project

I am trying to embed a video file into my flash project and I want to to
play till the end and jump to a different frame in the timeline. I tried to emport the video into flash and it says th
at the file is not supported. Can I not do it or do I need to convert the mpeg file into some sort of fla file?

among the formats you can play without converting:
MP3, MP4A, H.264

Uploading Flex project breaks it

Hi there, This is probably a result of something incredibly silly. A while ago I would find it easy to create a release version in FB3 and put the new SWF online. It always works, I just restructured my code to use multiple .AS files which I include in the mxml as such: Whenever I upload the project online now, the application hangs (http://eplant.mozzly.com/ePlant.html). Just sits there doing nothing. I'm wondering if I'm missing something important...what the heck could I have forgotten to do? If I pop the file into a local webserver on my dev system...it loads correctly. The application depends on a config.json file which is the first thing it pulls. The web version doesn't seem to do this but my locally hosted one works perfectly... Ack. What could it likely be?

Generally you upload all files within the bin release folder
Sincerely,
Michael

Erm, so I did the Clean project thing. Honestly I'm not sure which
file I should be using. I upload it and there always seems to be a
2kb difference. As for using the compile option - how do I do that?
heh. Thanks guys.

Upload FCP Projects and Associated Media to a Production

Hi,
This sounds very silly but I`m really disappointed and can`t figured out how to do it.
Is there a way to upload a *.fcp project and associate NOT ONLY the project but ALSO the Media that this project contains?
In other words, if I upload a FCP project and choose a Production to be associated the production is created but ONLY the FCP Project Asset is inside this production, not the whole medias.
A scan production (for the FCP file) also doesn`t work.
What works is uploading all media and associating to a production or do a Scan production into a directory with medias. But my FCP and Medias are in distinct places and a thought that FCP project could help me cleaning the Media directories (by uploading the project and after all medias are catalogued archiving them, so the rest in directories are useless).
The work around would be:
1- to do a Scan Production in the Media files and after that uploading a FCP project associating with that Production, but as I`ve said I can`t just scan the entire Media as it`s very messy and with this way I could be guaranteed that my important assets are catalogued (and archived) and the left ones in the messy directories could be quick filtered to exclusion and cleaning without worries.
2- to upload a FCP and associate to a production and after that manually move fcp associated assets to this production (this almost impossible because the limitation of 200 assets per page).
Can some one propose a better way?
Regards

No, you are correct, but unfortunately these are Elements (inside the FCP project) and not real Assets. So for instance, if you fill in the annotations on the Asset it will not show on the Elements (inside FCP projects) and vice-versa. You can`t do a lot of other things as well with elements as you can with assets.
So I would like to have a Production with all media created automatically when a FCP project is uploaded (or scanned).
Regards

Flash Project files (FLP)

Hello. I can't seem to figure something out and was wondering
if someone could explain this to me. I use a Flash Project (flp)
for version control of my flash projects. One curious/strange thing
seems to happen when I check in my files using the flp.
When I check in a file the "date modified" on my local copy
changes to be 5 hrs ahead of when it was actually modified. Only
happens when I check a file in using the flp. I have checked all
the times for both my local computer and the server where I place
the checked in file and they are in sync. Don't know what else
could be causing this.
Has this happened to anyone else and is there a solution?
Thanks in advance!

StanWelks,
> Each time I make a new project, Flash is creating a .flp
file
> What are these files for?
I think it stands for "Flash Project," but not sure. The FLP
is just a
small file that stores the locations of the various other
files that belong
to the project. Think of it as an M3U playlist.

How to export a flash project to iPhone

Hi - I'm trying to find a way to publish an interactive flash project to an iPhone using flash CS6. I'm been using Flash for years, but never published a project for a mobile device. I can design the project using the mobile templates, but my main concern is getting the thing to work the same way on phone as it does on the computer. Specifically this project will need to work on an iPhone 5s.

This article should provide you with some insights.

How to Document a Flash Project

What are the best practices that developers or designers use
for documenting or configuration/content managing Flash projects? I
haven't been able to find anything within Flash that would, for
example, print out a list of elements and properties. Is there
anything that does that?
Very much appreciated,
Tom

Thank you for your reply, DZEdward. SInce you've posted 4386
times I must regard you as knowledgeable! So, I guess the answer is
that there is no real configuration management capability for
Flash. Oh my. I have taken over a Flash project that has a few
hundred elements -- what a mess.
