Flash :: Exporting FLV Files

Exporting FLV Files?
I cannot seem to export any FLV files using Quicktime or any other program, I have installed FLV exporter and I am currently using the trial version of Flash MX pro 2004. The problem is, there is no option for exporting any files in the drop down menu in quicktime. I have downloaded the updates for Quicktime but still there's no option.

Is there any other way of exporting FLV files? Or at least inserting movies into the Media playback boxes in Flash?

Thanks.

Help Exporting Txt Files
I want to make a news header to my flash site..
I'd like to enter some text in a textbox on the site and upload that text to a txt file. Then I'd use dynamic text to view that txt as a header on my site..

How can I edit a txt file through flash? Not very comfortable with uploading the txt file every time..
I've seen some tutorial about that but it involved pearl scripts and I'm afraid that my free webhost doesn't support pearl.. At least it didn't work one bit..

I could use some help here..

Exporting Sound Files From Fla's
I need to know if there's a way you can export an exisiting sound file that's embedded into another fla. It's a really nice loop but I can't find it on the net anywhere. Thanks ahead of time.

Importing And Exporting Files
First of all can download a soundloop from this site and use it in Swish then can I import that word animation in Flash 5 . After I am finnish fine tuning can I export that file to dreamweaver. Also would still be able to access animation that I created in Swish that I have exported to dreamweaver after the 15 day trail period is up . (am i making any sense)

Exporting/Importing .mov Files
Hey,

I'm trying to Export to an .mov file from flash 8, so that I can Import it and "progressively download it from a web server" to make the file play better (and the same) on each computer. When I play it straight from the .swf file, the sound is completely off depending on the computer i play it on.

My issue is that when I Publish and create an .mov file, then try to Import that same file back into flash...nothing works. Just a blank screen. What could this be caused by? I can view the .mov file perfectly when I open it (though the timing is still off, but that's a whole other frame rate problem that I have to deal with).

If anyone could lend some advice, I'd appreciate it.

Thank you,

Joe

Exporting Flash Mx Files
I recently upgraded from Flash 5 to mx.

At first, when exporting files to create .swf and projector files everything was just fine. Now for some reason the following happens when exporting files:

1. No scrollbar apears on scrollable texts.

2. Projector files are created in Flash 5 version, even though I export in Flash 6 version.

3. Foreign language fonts, that is to say á,é,í,ó,ú and ñ etc etc are replaced by some weird symbols which make the text illegible.

Assistance greatly appreciated/Thanks

Exporting Flash Files To Video
I know how to export video's, but to AVI/MOV (windows)?

It ignores the VCam, and forces me to downgrade the .swf export to flash 5 player, so filters vanish.

How can I export my flash to a video that still enables filters (I need that more importantly than VCam)?

Exporting Multiple Swf Files From A Single Fla
Hey there,

This might be a stupid question, but I've been asked to update a presentation that has 150 different swf files (one for every frame), but only one fla and I've got no idea how the person who originally worked on this project did that.

Does anyone here know how you would export multiple swf files from a single fla or is that even possible?

Exporting Portions Of Movie As Bitmap Files
Hello everyone!

I'm developing an application that enables users to draw and combine shapes. I want to know if it's possible to export those drawings as a bitmap file. That is, if users can save their drawings - not print.

Maybe it will demand the use of a third party, such as PHP. I don't know.

Any clues?

Exporting Sound Files Out Of Flash....and Into A Folder
Hello everyone. I was just wondering is there a way to export any sounds files that are in the library to a folder on your harddrive. I wanted to keep a folder of all sounds from my fla. files in a folder and import them as I need them rather then "Import, open external library" from other fla. files. I am using MX professional. Thanks for any answer to this.

Exporting SWFs With External Class Files
Okay, I am not sure how to explain this but I am having a rather annoying problem with my Flash CS3 on the Mac.

I am still working in AS2 and many of my projects make use of external class files. Now I was working on a project and I made a change in the class, saved and then did an export to view the change. To my surprise the change did not appear to take effect so I added a trace statement and the same thing. The trace did not occur. I ended up closing Flash, opening it again and re-exporting and the changes showed up. It seemed like the FLA was not linked with the class for a moment?

I know it sounds odd, but has anyone else had problems like this when working with external class files in CS3?

I've Got An Odd Situation..
Ok I'm new to the flash business (well not really new but I haven't used it in three years so therefore I consider myself new again)..http://www.otakuvillage.com/flash/otakuvillageconstruction.html

now when I uploaded this into the server, it always loads halfway and then it stops. Anybody got any ideas as to why this may be happending? Thanks for your time I hope to get back into the flash rythm again very soon.

Bad Situation
Please help! I'm 99% done with a huge flash project. Problem is, I just added all the font embeds and the file jumped from 40k to over 100k. Because of all the fonts, the preloader doesn't show up until the thing is almost fully loaded. On a slow connection it's just a white space for 30 seconds.

I'd rather not use a javascript preloader, although if someone knows of an elegant PHP solution I'd be open to that.

As it is, I have 3000 lines of code referencing _root variables and functions, sometimes not strictly pathed. I can't repath the whole code, every single function, etc., so I'm creating a holder .swf that uses loadClip to bring the large project into level0.

The problem is, I have several variables passed in the GET data that need to make it into the _root of the large project. These get destroyed as soon as the large clip is loaded into level0, and I can't figure out a way to include them. Is there any way to force loadClip to pass variables into the clip it's loading, even when it's destroying its own _root as it loads that clip?

Please help!!! Much appreciate any advice other than "you're an idiot," which I already know...

XML Situation

Hi all,

Please Help In A Horrible Situation.
Hi everyone, nice to meet you, first time at this forum.

well.. here's my story, in my adv. computer tech class, i was supposed to do the first 3 tutorials in flash mx (6?). I didn't think he was going to collect the files so i decided not to do the tutorials..... So yesterday, he tells us that he's not only collecting it, but he's also making us present our projects. I already have the stilleto file (from this forum thank you!), but i will need the 2nd and 3rd tutorials please. Please send any links you can.

thank you

How Can I Use The IF Command In This Situation?

Looping Situation
Basically on a frame within a movieclip i have this code:

Code:
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if (_global.APOSITION == "1" && _global.BPOSITION == "2" && _global.CPOSITION == "3") {
gotoAndPlay ("play")

delete this.onEnterFrame;

}

}
This works fine. BUT I want to add some 'else if' statements to it. so it will look something like this:

Code:
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if (_global.APOSITION == "1" && _global.BPOSITION == "2" && _global.CPOSITION == "3") {
gotoAndPlay ("play")

}else if (blah blah blah bla) {
then do this

delete this.onEnterFrame;

}

}
The else if doesnt work. Doesnt seem to read it. What is wrong? Is there another way around this? I just want the code to read no matter what
