Making Banner Ads In Flash - Exporting Animated Gifs
I have been trying to make an animated banner in flash to be exported as a gif, whenever I do, the quality is awful. I thought at first it was because I had too much going on i.e. too many gradients/colours etc, but as a test I drew a grey circle on white, exported that (256 colours, smooth selected) and even this does not have a smooth edge.

can anyone offer any ideas why flash is not capable of exporting a decent gif??

thanks

Exporting To Animated Gif
I need to be able to create an animated gif that is less then 15 kb in size.

The best I can do, with just text and simple, straight movement tweens is around 30k. That's exporting at 16 colours.

I noticed there was an option for smoothing that was checked. When I uncheck this it brings the filesize down to around 5k, but I don't see anything happening in the gif when I view it.

I've attached the file I am trying to work with here.

Problem About Exporting To Animated GIF
Hi, I have a question about exporting a clip into animated GIF file. The graphics in the clip were exported, but the actionscript, which provides animation for the graphics, were not exported. Therefore, it ends up a static graphic. However, if I export the clip to swf file, everythings okay (the graphics with animation).

Does the exporting function (fla file into animated GIF file) support actionscript?
Is there any way to solve this problem?

Thank you for your reply and help

Exporting As An Animated Gif And Using In Html
I figured out how to export a flash file as an animated gif but when I try to use it in an htm file it does not play. This is the first time trying to create an animated gif with flash. I always use swf files but have a client who cannot use them. I'm creating an email with an animated header. It works great with flash but cannot get the animated gif working.

Through the forums I learned that I can publish as an animated gif and export as an animated gif. Neither seems to work. Obviously there is another step I need to take. Can someone please help me out? Thanks in advance!

Exporting SWF To Animated GIF Not Working
Hello,

I'm trying to export a swf (which I did not create) as an animated gif, but when I do this only the first frame shows up. I see in the forum others have asked this same question but I didn't see an answer that applied (I believe these are timeline animated .fla files although how do I know that or ascertain that?)

I'd really appreciate the help...

Thanks!

Serious Problems Exporting A Movie To An Animated GIF
I'm trying to export a movie to an animated GIF and, well, the resulting file is garbage. I don't mean that it looks sub-optimal..I mean that it looks absolutely nothing like the source movie at all. I've heard from others that there are significant problems with the Flash export-to-GIF routines, but does anyone have any tips for trying to improve the situation?

Thanks.

Create Non-animated Equivalent Of Animated Flash 8 Animation
Hi, I'm working with a template that includes Flash. It's bad enough I've never touched Flash before this project, but I have to actually work with someone else's engineering of one (I'm retrofitting a purchased template)! LOL

Anyway, all I want to do is to save a completely non-animated version of the animated version I've managed to perfect. The plan is to use it on sub-pages of our presentation so that people only have to experience the animation when they land on the page. Not when they're navigating around. I've already tried a couple of things including saving an image map version. All that did was present me with an error message that certain components weren't included, which is tentatomount to being non-usuable to me for now.

So, is there a way to tell Flash, "Hey, this looks great, now give me a static version of it with working links and everything!".

Thanks if anyone can help!

Animated SWF Is Not Animated When Included In Another Movie As A Clip
I have an SWF that, when run by itself, is an animation of a graphic equalizer display. But when I bring it into a new movie as a movie clip (I want to change the alpha, throw up some text, clear the txt, change the alpha, etc), the animation does not work, and all I get is the static images.

FLA is at http://www.black-diamond.com/flash_src/equalizer.fla if anyone wants to take a look at it. The one I am trying to bring it into is at http://www.black-diamond.com/flash_src/test3333.fla (the corresponding .swf to see what happens is at http://www.black-diamond.com/flash_src/test3333.swf ).

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Exporting From Flash
Ok, I'm trying to export a Flash file as an .avi to use in DVDit! and no matter what video compression I use something in the movie is compromised. Whether it's the action in the movie or the way the movie looks as a whole it comes out like &%$#! What is the best solution.

Exporting In Flash
heya,

I have made an animation that consists of about 20 movieclips on a main timeline. These all play with a _parent.stop() and a _parent.play() in each of the child movieclips on the _root timeline.

All of these movies are scenes to my main animation, so they are quite long.

My problem is when trying to export to quicktime, avi or anything like that.

It seems when exporting, flash just ignores the actionscript and treat my movieclips as if they are only one frame. So I just get an export of the first frame of every movie clip.

is there a workaround for this?

cheers for any advice.

Exporting XML Through FLASH To PHP
I am attempting my first XML/FLASH export to PHP, and am wondering is there any SPECIAL way that I need go about doing this?

right now, I am importing my XML file, into an XML object...and basically setting up a visual feedback/GUI, that displays what is currently there. this 'GUI' (check box's & inputFields) iwll then edit the nodes elements/values of this XML object.

I assume I just send the WHOLE xml object as a var to the PHP script to dump it to .txt file (.xml file). Correct?

How can I add formatting to it?..so child nodes are indented..and subsequent child nodes are also indented?

thanks for any tips/ideas.

[CS3] Flash Not Exporting To SWF
I am working on a game that has a publish setting of Flashplayer 6 and Actionscript 1.

I am using Flash CS3. I save the .fla to Flash 8 format for obvious reasons. Now the problem comes when I try to export the movie. It would go as it should behave when Flash exports movies but when the process is done, I looked into the folder of which the .swf should be there and it's not.

I tried to preview the movie as well by pressing Ctrl+Enter in the authoring environment and nothing happens as well.

Tried to export it on another folder and the same thing happens. Can somebody please shed some light on this?

Exporting Flash To SVG, Can You Do It?
Hi I have just been introduced to the concept of using SVG data for vector based animations. I have done a quick search around the web to find out if you can export flash files (swfs) to svg format, so far I have found very little. Does anyone know of any programs that might facilitate this or failing that if adobe is planning on supporting such a thing in the future. I see that they support svgs out of illustrator but that doesn't really help me with my flash movie.

If anyone has any knowledge about this I would be very grateful if you could share, this is all very new to me.

Thanks

Flash CS3 Not Exporting To .swf
Okay, so here's my issue.

I'm trying to export a website created exclusively within Flash CS3. I have had no issues up until this point with exporting to .swf or publishing to html/swf. I added a few more elements to the file, a few vector elements and text elements, nothing fancy, and now every time I export to any medium (but I specifically want to fix this for .swf so I can get this finished) it goes finishes the export progress bar, and everything goes okay (or the program crashes out), however NO FILES ARE CREATED. I'm not sure which element I added could be causing this issue (and actionscript debug finds no issues) and there are simply too many elements to try deleting them one by one.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Exporting Flash For Web
I'm making some web edits on an existing Flash based website for a client, and we're having difficulty uploading my file to the site. On my computer, it works perfectly when I go to the site, but on every other computer we've tried, it's very fritzy. (All the computers we've tested on have Internet Explorer and various versions of Flash Player, I have Mac OSX and Flash Player 9) Am I messing up the exporting of my file for web? I do Export>Export Movie> .swf >on the export screen, I've just been leaving the default settings. I'm just a graphic designer and I don't normally do Flash and/or websites at all, so if you have any ideas, please be clear!

I have Flash CS3, Flash Player 9, Mac OSX, and their website is just an HTML file that calls for the .swf file.

Exporting Flash --> Avi
Having a lot of trouble with this. I've got a very short little Flash movie that I'm trying to export as an .avi file. Trouble is that it only exports as one frame.

The movie only has one frame on the main timeline because I've compacted the animation into smaller ones and placed that on there. Is that the issue here? Does everything have to be on the main timeline?

Suggestions?

Exporting Flash 5 To .avi
Heya!

I am trying to export a movie to a .avi format, however I am just getting a black box when I view the avi movie. I have tried full frame processing (no vid compression) but then all I get is a huge file with the same result. The movie uses almost no action script except for a Stop at the end because I do not want it to loop. Any ideas what could be the problems when exporting the movie? It contains movie clips embeded in it, but when I export it to a .swf format it looks fine.

Cheers!

Exporting To Flash From CS3 - Please Help
I am having trouble exporting a video sequence from Premier CS3 as a .flv file. It works great for one Premier project I have, but all others won't work. I must be missing something.

Here's what I'm doing...

Within a Premier CS3 project, I select a sequence to export, then select:

File > Export > Adobe Media Encoder

The Export Settings window opens. Then I set the format to Adobe Flash Movie, set my settings, frame rate, bit rate, etc. and click OK. At this point it SHOULD open up a window to prompt me to assign a name to the file and designate where to save it, but nothing happens. It's almost as if the pop up window for the file name is getting stuck somewhere. Anyone experienced that? As I said, I have done this successfully with one project, but none others will work.

I am just getting back to video editing (I used to edit on Final Cut Pro years ago) so exporting to web-friendly and mobile device formats is new to me. Any help is so appreciated!

I Started Exporting To Flash 8 Instead Of Flash 6 And My Loader Quit Working
I am using a loader component which I named tstone. I was setting the ContentPath to a variable on the first frame of the timeline containing this component by using:

tstone30.ContentPath=_root.page3_tphoto30;

However, I decided I wanted to take advantage of the justify feature for my dynamic text fields and began exporting to Flash 8 instead of Flash 6. For some reason, my loader quit pulling the images into the loader. If I switch back to Flash 6 it works again. Any ideas cause this is driving me crazy?

Exporting Video And Flash
Here it is then,

Have imported a quicktime movie into flash - main timeline.
Frame length is the same as the duration of the quicktime movie.
Have added modular video controls that are controlling the main timeline.
Exported this as a quicktime ".mov"

My controls do not seem to control the quicktime movie
If i preview (ctrl + enter) i see that the controls are moving the main timeline.

But when i export/publish i cannot control the quicktime movie

I know that if i export from premiere into flash as a series of bitmaps, jpegs, whatever, i can control the movie play - but doing things this way means i cannot import the sound.

Would like to be able to import the sound and the video, maybe as separates and then sync them in flash and export as quicktime embedded.

Anyone able to help or know of any good resources?

Exporting My Flash Button
Hi there. I've gone through a flash lesson and read parts of the flash manual but nothing has helped me explain how to do this:
I'm in Dreamweaver UltraDev4 and I'd like to insert a 'flash button'. When I go to do this, there are several pre-made buttons to choose from however I'd like to select the one I've created.
While in Flash (5) I can only figure out how to export/publish as a flash file, not a button (a .swf). So - my question is: How do I add (export/create/publish??) my flash rollover button to the pre-made flash buttons list, so I can insert it as a 'flash button' in Dreamweaver? (hope that makes sense)
If anyone can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it!
