Converting A PDF To A Flash FLA File Without Converting To An Image First?
Basically, I'm building a digital catalogue that runs off a CD and uses a Flash 'page turning component' to display the pages. Certain pages will have links that use Flash's Fscommand call to open Word and Excel documents.
Has anyone got any bright ideas of how to Convert a PDF to a Flash FLA file without converting to an image first?
I know I can open a PDF in Photoshop, save as a PNG or JPG and then import this into Flash, however the quality isn't brilliant. If you use a hi-res image, then you get a hi-res file size...
Currently, the best way I have found, is to open the PDF in Illustrator, then export it as a SWF. Illustrator converts all text to shapes and you end up with a small SWF, yet great quality when displayed in larger sizes. As I'm currently using a page turning flash component that loads SWF files, I need the quality to be good for the 'Zoom' function.
I've found an Illustrator script that will do the hard work via a 'batch' process, so I can take a 100 page PDF and convert the whole lot to 100 SWF files while I drink tea and 'look busy' and read a magazine, but the problem I have is that I need to add a layer of buttons to several of the SWF files to add a little functionality....
I do have a SWF to FLA decompiler which does a good job, however because Illustrator turns everything into shapes, the decompiler does the same and you end up with thousands of files in the library.... Plus there are a lot of error messages when the file is first loaded...
Many layers are masked, (for some reason without a fill), so if you publish the decompiled file straight away, you just get a blank file. Once you go through and fill the masks needed, it shows when you publish, but this really is a lot of work and I've had a few pages that show when you open the SWF file, but don't show when the SWF is called into the page turning file.... Hmmm....
So in short, I'd like to take a PDF and convert it to a FLA file, add a layer of buttons and publish as a SWF file....
Anyone got any 'Pearls of Wisdom'?

Converting Swf File To Broadcast Quality Movie File
I'm using a Patrick Jansen effect in flash and if I try to export it the way I usually do for movie credits - ie export to quicktime - all I get is a grey box. The only way I can get the movie into a quicktime file correctly is to save the file as an swf then use "swf and flv player" to export each frame as a tif then recompile in quicktime.
Is there a program that will convert the SWF to quicktime in one go and keep the quality? It's for a movie, so I need it very high res.
thanks in advance,
(mac os x 10.4.9 G5 dual 2ghz, internal 250 and 350hd, external 500gb, 4gb ram)

Converting An AS2.0 File To AS3.0?
Hey everyone,
I have a CS3 file that was given to me to make some changes to.
It was written in AS2.0, but I would like to implement some new AS3.0 classes.
Is there any way to convert this file to an AS3.0 file? I'd really like to avoid re-creating the entire .fla.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

Help Converting File
I hope I can get some help here.
In a nutshell, I've made a 15-minute flash video for a friend's wedding. Basically it's a glorified slideshow, but several people asked for a copy. I'd like to provide copies as DVDs people can just stick in and play, particularly since many of them are blue-haired great aunts that won't necessarily have the latest and greatest computers, or any computer for that matter.
Does anyone out there have an angle on how to convert a Flash video into a straightforward movie format? I'm not a developer, so basically, I'm looking to pay someone to just take care of it for me.
Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Converting .txt File To Array
Hi,
I have a text file, which has large arrays in it of this format,
&Array1 = [2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, etc etc etc ];
&Array2 = [2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, etc etc etc ];
I need these loaded in at the begining of my movie (before any other actionscript can run), and converted to arrays in my Flash movie. When I do loadvariables, it just loads the text file in as a string, but I need it as a array.
How would I do that?
thanks for any help.

Converting To QuickTime File
Hello
I have a problem converting Flash 8 movie to Quick Time movie
I am using Export Movie command: selecting Quick Time file type, choosing needed options (kipping file flatten), setting Flash version to Flash Player 5, as asked.
I have a .mov file as a result, but it plays only in my computer; if I send this file to somebody else via email, it does not work anymore.
I tried to publish the movie as QuickTime – still the same result.
The size of that .mov file is equal to the size of the original .fla file, which is not right at all.
I remember, when I had Flash 5, there were no problems converting Flash movies to QuickTime movies, but now I spoke with several people, it seems like everybody have the same problem.
I would very appreciate, if somebody could help me
Thank you

WMV File Not Converting To FLV Properly
I am trying to use the Flash Video Encoder to convert a WMV file that a client provided to me into an FLV file. The audio works fine in the FLV, but the image stays stuck on the first frame through the whole movie.
This file needs to be uploaded by tomorrow. I've tried compressing with about 6 different compression settings (both in Sorenson and the newer On2 VP6 codecs).
I'm about to rip my hair out.
I even downloaded a trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 to export it and it's taking an hour to do so. My suspision is that it wont work in there either.

Converting A Simple AS2 File To AS3. Pic Loop Bar.
Hi everyone. I'm no expert on Actionscript 3.0. I'm wondering if someone had a suggestion on how to fix my AS3 code.
Here's the AS2 loop picture bar code. Works perfect.
_root.pics.onEnterFrame=function(){
_root.pics._x+=(86-_root._xmouse)/33.3;
if(this._x>0){
this._x=-300;
}
if(this._x<-300){
this._x=0;
}
}
Then I was trying to update to AS3. There's something obvious I'm missing, no?
pics.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
pics.x+=(86-mouseX)/33.3;
if(this.x>0){
this.x=-300;
}
if(this.x<-300){
this.x=0;
}
thanks kindly for any suggestions!

Converting An Number In A Text File To A Variable
I'm tried this a hundred ways, and can't seem to get it to work. I'm trying to get my flash file to read a number from an external text file (in form: &var0100=4&) and have the flash file go to a specific frame number based on this variable. This code works if I import it into a text file, but I can't get it to take what's in the text file and convert it to a variable. Here's my following code:
totalprojects = new LoadVars();
totalprojects.load("rmptext.txt");
totalprojects.onLoad = function(right) {
if (right) {
trace("done loading");
total.Number = this.var0100
if (Number(total) < 5) {
projectmovie.gotoAndStop(2);
}
else {
projectmovie.gotoAndStop(3);
}
}
else {
trace("not loaded");
}
};
stop();
Problem Converting Flash File To Animated .Gif
I've never made an animated gif from a flash file but the flash help says to simply do the following:
Flash exports the first frame in the movie as a GIF, unless you mark a different keyframe for export by entering the frame label
#Static. Flash exports all the frames in the current movie to an animated GIF unless you specify a range of frames for export by
entering the frame labels #First and #Last in the appropriate keyframes.
No matter what I try, when I export to an animated gif, the image that shows up is not animated but I only get the first frame. What could be missing and what areas should I check? Thanks in advance.
Importing Strings Into A Text File And Converting Them In The Movie For Use.
I have a text file, in that text file there are several strings that look like this.
&&S1=[room,250,1]&&
&&S2=[room,252,1]&&
&&totalRooms =2&&
Any they go on like that. Now what I am wanting to do is to load this text file and convert the strings into items that can be used in the movie.
The code I have tried using for this is
code:
function buildInfo() {
for (i=1; i<=totalrooms; ++i) {
foo = "T"+i;
foo2 = "S" + i;
foo = foo2.split(",");
trace("foo:"+foo[0]);
}
}
Now I was expecting this to make the S1 into T1 with the information from text file. This is not working, when I run the movie the trace("foo:"+foo[0]); returns the actual name of the S1 file and that is it. I am just not sure what I am doing wrong. Thank you for any help. I f I have not made myself clear enough, please let me know.
Converting After Effects Scene To Swf FILE SIZE Question
I have created an introduction for a website and exported it from After Effects at 640 x 480 into Quicktime. The clip is 10 secs long and renders out to 14 megs. I have Sorenson Squeezed it 780 KBs.
Is this a good size? Or should I try another route? Is so which one?
What is a good standard file size for the web?
Converting Flash Scripts Inside .fla Into External .as File?
Hi, I have a client that for some reason they are wanting to convert their .fla project and break up the 8 script layers of their game, and put it in an external .as file for the Flash project.
I was just wondering if this could be done could someone show me a link, tutorial or anything on how I would go about doing this, and why this needs to be done this way?
Easy implementation for future games of the same kind?
Retriveing Date Variables From Text File/ Converting Strings To Dates
Hi,
I'm trying to read date variables from an external text file. I'm using the LoadVars method and it is working fine for regular string variables. I'm running into trouble trying to convert some of those strings into date variables so I can compare the current date to the targetDateX variable from the text file. I'm working on a countdown timer for a list of different times/dates. It will display the time left until the first event, then after that event the time left until the second event. I'm running the code in a for loop and everything is working except being able to convert the string with format (yyyy,mm,dd,hh,mm) into a date variable- I've attached a sample of where I'm having trouble.
Thanks in advance for any help! :)
Attach Code
var targetDateX:String = "targetDate" + i;
//sets a variable targetDateX equal to the variable targetDate(i) so that you can read it from the text file
var targetDateA:Date = new Date (this[targetDateX]);
//attempting to set it into a date format
trace (this[targetDateX]);
//returns the variable stored with the name targetDate(i) in the text file
trace (targetDateA);
// returns 'Invalid Date'

Converting And .swf File Into A .fla File
Sorry if this topic has already been posted (the search feature wasn't working).
I was just wondering if there was any way to convert an .swf file into a .fla file. I have been doing some flash work on two computers and was copying the files to just one of them. Unfortunately I only copied an .swf file of one of them and deleted the .fla file. So I was just wondering whether there's any way to convert it into the .fla file.

could anybody convert this matlab script into actionscript
im only interested in converting kp to Q
% function to convert a given value of value of Q to Kp or vice versa
%
% function out=q_to_kp(in,index)
%
% Inputs:
%
% in: scalar or vector value of either Q or Kp
% index: String that determines whether in is Q or Kp i.e.
% index="q' or index="kp"
%
% This function uses the simple formula for converting between Q and
% Kp indices. By varying the input string the formula will work backwards
% such that Kp is calculated by Q.
function out=q_to_kp(in, index)
out=repmat(nan,size(in)); % pre-allocate output file
% check the string to see which inex is the input
if strcmp(index,'q'); % compare strings for Q input
for n=1:length(in);
if in(n)==1, out(n)=0; % if Q=1 set Kp to zero
elseif in(n)<0; % test for a negative input and display error
disp('error: Q index cannot be negative!');
out(n)=nan;
else out(n)=in(n)-2; % for any other value of Q get appropriate
Kp
end
end
elseif strcmp(index,'kp'); % compare strings for Kp input
for n=1:length(in);

elseif in(<0; % test for negative input and display error
disp('error: Kp index cannot be negative!');
out(n)=nan; % substitute NaN for the negative values
else out(n)=in(n)+2; % for any other value of Kp get appropriate Q
