Using Flash objects in Illustrator

I have a lot of vector objects (icons/graphics etc.) that
were created in Flash CS3 (not by me) and I want to use/import
these objects into Illustrator CS3 so that I can modify them
(change colors, rearrange various shapes in each object etc.). I am
not very familiar with Flash, but I am very experienced with
Illustrator, which is why I want to get the objects into
Illustrator for editing.
I have tried selecting the object on the Flash Stage and then
choosing File then Export...I select Illustrator 6.0 as the format
(the latest version of Illustrator it will export in) and save it
as a .ai file. When I open the file in Illustrator CS3 only part of
the object (~40%) appears. Many of the shapes that make up the
object are missing. If I just select the object and choose Copy
then Paste into Illustrator the same thing happens.
I've got to believe that there is an easy/more direct way of
doing this. As an FYI, each of the objects is saved as an .FLA file
and a .SWF file.
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

I moved the thread to the Illustrator forum.
You can modify the clipping path just as you do a normal path, just select it in the Layers panel and use the Scale Tool, Free Transform Tool, etc but that shouldn't be necessary, with View->Smart Guides selected you can easily draw a rounded rectangle from the upper left corner to the bottom right corner of the image and thus have it the exact size that you need. While you drag with the Rounded Rectangle Tool you can also use the Up and Down arrow keys to change the roundness of the rectangle on the fly.

Using non-Flash objects

Hello,
Please excuse me if this message has appeared twice but my
Internet link was broken and I do not know if the previous message
got sent.
I am using Dreamweaver 4.0.
I was horrified to learn from a visitor to my website that
Flash object were not showing, and would not show, unless they
allowed the download of 'Flash' software. For the time being I do
not want visitors to my site to have to allow the download of Flash
software before they can view my site.
I am only using Flash objects as Flash buttons simply to
navigate between pages, that is, change from one page to another.
Please can anyone tell me how I can alter my website design to
allow visitors to navigate from page to page without using Flash
objects.
Thank you for any help that you can give me.

This has always been the case.

Then you must not use Flash on your site for anything other
than cosmetic
'dressing'.

This is a major mistake. In addition to eliminating those who
do not have
the Flash plugin, you have also eliminated the search engine
spiders, which
will not be able to read your page-to-page links.

Remove the Flash and rebuild your navigation using ordinary
HTML devices.
Want to post a link to your page, so we can make a more
specific
recommendation?

How to read a local file using as3 in a flash object in HTML? [urgent]

My web site contains a flash object.
I want to use as3 to read some local .txt file
by getting the user directory of the file.
i know AIR can support this by sth like:
File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath
but when i open a AIR file for this, it seems
the action cant be run when i embed it in html.
And i tried to use the above function in a normal
flash file in the action script.
But it cant recognize the File. class..
How can it be done ?
It's reli urgent,
please help...
Thanks !

a web based flash app can't detect user directories. you can use the filereference class'es browse method to let the user locate a file in any directory the user wants. flash can then retrieve the file's name and type. but, as mentioned before, flash can't determine the file's directory.

How to use the index method for pathpoints object in illustrator through javascripts

hii...
am using Illustrator CS2 using javascripts...
how to use the index method for pathpoints object in illustrator through javascripts..

Hi, what are you trying to do with path points?
CarlosCanto

Using "Objects" like Illustrator in InDesign. Is there a modular way to use instances?

Let me elaborate...
(I see Object Styles but not "Objects" Panel like in illustrator)
What I want to do?
1. Use a Name plate in my document that I can tweak later, and the changes reflect in all pages.
2. I want to be able to change color, effects as well as text.
Example: Name plate that has one Title text box, one Plate number text box, two separate color background boxes, each for the Title and the Plate number
Possible solutions I am aware of?
A. Use Master Page
Add Name plate to master page.
"Pluck out" the name plate on the page (lift-off as some call it)
Move it to new location, change text (plate number in my case), don't change any box colors.
Color changes to boxes in Master, reflects in all pages. Good!
Issue: Text boxes that have not been edited in the page, still do not reflect new updated text, color changes to box is updated.
B. Use Find and Replace
Use this to find the name plate text and replace it with new text.
I have not tried it, but I am only wanting to change text style in one text box. Does this feature help to do this?
C. (please add)
My Questions:
1. Is there any other method to accomplish this?
2. When I have not edited the text, why solution A (plucking out from Master page) does not reflect changes to text? It does show changes to color background!

Thanks Willi Adelberger for this reminder (point1) It helped me to correct one "stuck thinking" I had, and helped to a degree.
I could not locate "Content Tools" but exploring now from Indesign help (content collector... was something else...)
Stuck mindset!
I was stuck thinking I need an exact same feature (like "Objects" of Illustrator or "blocks" of Autocad or Instances in Max... where each is an instance of an archetype - master)
With that, I saw no need to use styles for the NamePlate I was using. Since it was defined in just the master page, while other pages simply moved it to new positions.
But then I went back and redefined those master objects with styles
It helped to a degree
I can except for the textual content can control everything of the NamePlate text.
I still cannot simply change text like "PLATE" to "Plate" if I see such a need later (perhaps using find and replace can do).
I have now done the all but I cannot add a logo graphic (if I see a need later) to these name plates!
This is where I am not able to get an answer, if there is indeed a method to do things like referenced "Objects". Change the Object. All instances change.
PS: I ever tried a hack, by putting the text box inside another box and grouping them. So when I pluck from master (lift off) I just get the Group. I believed that since I am not touching the original "text" object in the process InDesign will keep the link intact and change in text on master will reflect changes to the pages. it did not work.

Is it possible to use 3D objects in Flash CS4 for animation?

Hi,
Is it possible to use 3D objects created in 3D Max, Blendor, iClone etc. to perform animation to make Flash Movie more realistic? Can I make nice animations like in iClone 4 Software?
If it is possible to use 3D Objects in Flash, please provide a sample Tutorial Link if you have any.
Thanks in advance.

Here are some links to 3d tutorils which u might find useful

Having to Double-Click Flash Objects in Browser to use

Hello,
Has anyone else experienced the annoying Double-Clicking of
Flash objects in your browser?
In other words, a Flash object will load and play just fine
in my browser, but I have to click it once to activate it then
click again to use buttons.
I'm assuming this might be a security setting for my browser,
but I can't figure it out.
Can anyone assist?

Ok - you really just need to use the search function here -
soon this thread will contain replies
from everyone telling you to search first - because this is
asked literally everyday and often
several times per day - yet, it seems to be the least
searched topic - just google it or search the
forum - been asked and answered several times per day for
months - not flaming, just trying to help
because so often, questions have already been answered here
many times and searching is just plain
quicker.
go here:
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search?q=group:*flash*&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
(it is the google groups archive of this forum)
and type in "active content"
over 1600 returns.
It is the reult of a Eolas vs Microsoft patent lawsuit that
was top web/tech news just a couple
months ago. Tons of resources on it - search google or
adobe.com or microsoft.com.
good luck

Shockwave Flash object in Word2007 only converting to Image in PDF using Acrobat9 Pro

I set the Shockwave Flash object to embed: True & the video is located locally, so why isn't Acrobat 9 Pro converting the word video to pdf video.
I've tried:
- using 'Acrobat' section on Word ribbon to convert
- saving Word file to Acrobat using word's 'save as' command
- using Adobe printer within Word
- opening the Word file from within Acrobat
Ive just reskimmed the Word 'advanced' & 'saving' options & I can't see any extra checks to make.
Thanks for this,
Sem.

hi thanks Bernd, 2 questions:
Can Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do this (as well as Extended - from the product comparsion chart it seems so...)?
If the full version can, does the trial version also enable this - am not really looking forwards to paying for software & then finding still yet to be resolved..?
Thanks for this, others also interested on various sites will keep them informed.

Capture onclick event on flash object using javascript

May the admins forgive me if this is in the wrong forum.
How to capture the onclick event on a web page when the click
happens on an embedded flash object?
You can't. At least not in IE. For some arcane reason either
microsofts developers or the flash guys decided to overrule the DOM
in IE.
So the onclick event is never fired, in any browsers, when
the user clicks an embedded flash object like this:
However there's a workaround. Add the wmode="transparent"
parameter. This make the onclick event okay in Firefox, but still
not IE - where the flash movie is transparent the click event
fires, but only those places.
Instead use the onmousedown and onmouseup events which fires
anywhere on the flash.

>
I tried each of the following in the the Element HTML Form Element Attributes for the File Browse item:
onClick=javascript:alert(this.value);
onClick=javascript:popupURL('http://www.google.com');
onFocus=javascript:alert(this.value);
onChange=javascript:alert(this.value);And what happened?
[A few points on good practice:
1. In the XHTML normally used in APEX 4.0 mark-up, all XHTML, including attribute/event handler names, should be in lower case: <tt>onclick</tt>, <tt>onfocus</tt>, <tt>onchange</tt>...
2. Attribute values should always be quoted.
3. The <a href="http://crisp.tweakblogs.net/blog/313/the-useless-javascript-pseudo-protocol.html">"javascript:" pseudo-protocol is evil</a>. There are a few places in APEX where we may have to resort to using it as URL is all we're offered to work with, but it's always better to use an event handler of some kind, either inline or (better) registered dynamically at runtime following the principles of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unobtrusive_JavaScript">unobtrusive JavaScript</a>. +It absolutely should not be used in inline event handlers.+
So:
{code}
onclick="alert(this.value);"
etc

Using flash shared object to have a load animation play only once

Hey all I have a swf on multiple pages, I onyl want it to
play the load animation once, so I thought I would try the shared
object to do this.
//On frame 1 on my mc if it hasnt played the file below it
should to gotoAndPlay frame 1 of my mc, logo_mc
logoload = SharedObject.getLocal("logoload1");
if (logoload.data.logoloadvar == undefined){
_root.logo_mc.gotoAndStop(30);
} else {
_root.logo_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
stop();
//at the end of my load animation frame 30 of logo_mc I am
trying to tell the shared object that its has played, so I put
something in it:
stop();
computer = System.capabilities.os;
_root.logoload.data.logoloadvar = "logoseen";
_root.logoload.flush();
But it does not appear to be responding, what am I doing
wrong there? Its the first time Ive used the object.
Any help would be great.

Wow. That is exactly what it was, thanks so much. Our IT guys are working on the problem now. Thanks again.

Copying objects from Illustrator CS3 to FreeHand 11.0.2

Working on a Mac in OSX 10.4.11, I was able to select and copy objects in an open Illustrator CS2 file and paste them into an open FreeHand 11.0.2 file, where they would be fully editable. After migrating to OSX 10.6.2 and upgrading to CS3, this no longer works - the objects selected and copied from Illustrator either do not appear (only corner indicators are visible) or a pale version appears as an uneditable low-rez image with funny colors....
Because there are so many missing features in Illustrator, it's important for me to be able to work back and forth between the two apps. Has anyone been able to achieve this (formerly) simple interactivity?

I got the following post from Danny Haas:
If you go to Edit>Special>Paste Special and then select AI/EPS from the list
it should paste just fine. It works well for me.
Worked for me too, although text was not imported as editable text. To do
that had to special paste the text separately as unformatted text, and then
reformat in FH.

I skipped AICS3, but now use AICS4 for some tasks.
The only solution I've found is to save the AI CS4 file as AI 8, open that
in FHMX and copy from there.

Flash Player dosn't work in IE 11 even shockwave flash object is activated

Hello,

I've installed Adobe Flash Player Version 16.0.0.287 (today).

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

HTML page with FLASH object doesn't reload upon a redirect

Am using: ECC 6.0 and ABAP SAPGUI development
Hi All,
I'm seeing a frustrating issue that i'm hoping others have seen and resolved.
Here is what i'm attempting and below that is the issue:
1) I have created a ABAP program in which i'm using the HTML viewer (class: cl_gui_html_viewer ) within a container that is on one of my ABAP screens.
2) I load up a web page on our (intra)network that displays an HTML page that has a nice FLASH navigation object. This navigation object operates as such - when a node is clicked it will go to another html page (on the same network) that will then parse apart what node they clicked on and via javascript submit a form in which I've defined a SAPEVENT for.
3) My ABAP program has defined the event handler for this sap event and calls the appropriate method just fine (ON_SAPEVENT). I am able to trap the event details and do some other things.
This is all working just fine, except....I want it to then go back to the first page (original page) that contained the FLASH navigation on it upon after the page that trapped the SAPEVENT is complete automatically. Easy? - that's what I thought...I tried several different ways to do this "go_back" on the html control, "show_url" (with the original URL)...even a redirect in the actual html page itself to go back.
They all DO go back to the first page, however my flash navigation object on that page NEVER shows up! It's almost like the frontend is thinking it is already loaded and will not load it again. I thought maybe I need to do a "flush" or some such - but that didn't seem to solve it. Has anyone seen this and resolved it or knows what this is? The thing is...I can completely exit out of the program - and the flash object will load just fine (but only after I wait a minute or so). What gives...anyone know?
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Am using: ECC 6.0 and ABAP SAPGUI development
Hi All,
I'm seeing a frustrating issue that i'm hoping others have seen and resolved.
Here is what i'm attempting and below that is the issue:
1) I have created a ABAP program in which i'm using the HTML viewer (class: cl_gui_html_viewer ) within a container that is on one of my ABAP screens.
2) I load up a web page on our (intra)network that displays an HTML page that has a nice FLASH navigation object. This navigation object operates as such - when a node is clicked it will go to another html page (on the same network) that will then parse apart what node they clicked on and via javascript submit a form in which I've defined a SAPEVENT for.
3) My ABAP program has defined the event handler for this sap event and calls the appropriate method just fine (ON_SAPEVENT). I am able to trap the event details and do some other things.
This is all working just fine, except....I want it to then go back to the first page (original page) that contained the FLASH navigation on it upon after the page that trapped the SAPEVENT is complete automatically.

Flash objects not displaying in Firefox (but works fine in Chrome and IE)

Well, I'm trying to embed a Shockwave Flash object into a website I'm building. It displays in Chrome and IE, but it doesn't show up at all in Firefox. It's just white space. Ive tried it on two machines, so it's presumably the code. Both the machines have Adobe Flash enabled... I'm not sure what the problem is. I've not worked with embedding Flash objects in HTML before, so, it's probably something really obvious. I just used the insert command on dreamweaver and it wrote the code that I'm using. If anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated. Here's my code:
<pre><nowiki><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="99%" height="600" id="FlashID">
<param name="movie" value="The file path" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="swfversion" value="10.1.0.0" />

<param name="expressinstall" value="../Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="the file path" width="99%" height="76.5%">

<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="swfversion" value="10.1.0.0" />
<param name="expressinstall" value="../Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />

<div>
<h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
</div>

</object>
</nowiki></pre>

If you can't post an address for a page demonstrating the problem, could you check the Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+k) and Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+j) for any messages related to the Flash media? For example, does either console show that Firefox is requesting the SWF file? Does either show an error in content type or any kind of security message?
