Thanks for any help

Importing Art
I am new to Flash5 and I am trying to find the best software to convert scanned art (bitmaps, gif, jpeg, etc) to vector files that can be imported easily into Flash. Most of my scanned images are hand drawn, if that helps any. I have Corel 8 but I'm having a lot of difficulty using this. Can anyone suggest a soft ware or explain how to do this with Corel 8? Thanks.

Importing SWF's
When I create an image in CorelDRAW 9 I have to export the layers as individual .swf files, then group import (shift click) into Flash to retain the layers. No problem.

What I can't figure out is how to import another set of files (an edited version of the first image) onto the same layers as the first set of files, but on different keyframes.

ie, First image on layers 1, 2 & 3 on keyframes 1, second image on layers 1, 2 & 3 on keyframes 8.

Is this possible, or is there at least a work around.


Many Thanks...Secoast

Importing SWF
I think that this question may seem amateur, but I am a designer trying to turn developer.

What i have is a main movie (Flash.swf), which contains 2 main clips (Menu, and Container). I have a method in one of my buttons that states a LoadMovieNum with the target "CONTAINER". I am trying to LoadMovie "company.swf". The movie loads into the clip perfectly, but then when i click on the buttons within "company.swf", the movies they are supposed to display does not function.
Could this be due to the code I have on each of the buttons in "company.swf"??
Since the SWF contains 4 movies (profile, history, mission, contact), I have the following code for the buttons: _root.contact.gotoandplay "appear" (no syntax here, but syntax is fine in Flash)

Do i need something between ._root and .contact ???

HELP!!!!!

PS. When "company.swf" loads, the menu clip disappears!

PLZ HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Importing Mcs
I created a simple little movie clip with two buttons in it. On its own, it works fine. The tweening works and the buttons play the frames as needed.

When I try to copy all the frames and paste them in an existing MC (in the middle of it as an instance movie clip), nothing works. Like the movie clip doesn't even get loaded. I checked to see I had an extra stop action but that wasn’t a problem.

I have NO idea as to why this is happening. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks.

Hello,

If I have a large mp3 that I want to import into Flash MX, I find myself extending the timeline about 10 ticks, then once the mp3 is imported, I am constantly dragging the timeline to reach the end of the movie.

Importing A Swf. VR Into A Fla.
im having problems importing a VR that i made into a fla.
when it is imported i can move left in it but not right (im pressing buttons to move it btw, not draggin it...)
in the swf. by its self this works fine but not when it is imported into my fla. for some reason.

here's the code to import the VR. in...

loadMovie("jamesvr.swf", "hi");
setProperty("hi", _yscale, "70");
setProperty("hi", _xscale, "70");

im not sure but i think that the swf. might be reading the stage on the fla. or getting them mixed round..

do i need to a code like

_root("jamesvr.swf").Play ();

in the fla. i know that this dont work, but am i on the right track??

anyone got a easy solution??

thanks..

Importing An Mpg
Hey Everyone, for some reason when I am trying to import an mpg into MX I got the error message:

"Flash doesnt recognize the file format my.mpg, would you like to try importing it via Quicktime?"

then if I try to import via Quicktime I get:

"One or more files were not imported because of errors reading them"


Anyone know why? I thought mpg's were an acceptable format in MX for import. Any help is greatly appreciated.

so for example, you make a nice looking flash web site to showcase some dude's photographs. then you put all his photos into a folder, and import them into the swf as you click through?

Hello, i am trying to create an interface and want to import some buttons, everytime I import the button swf into the interface fla the button stops working in the test stage, can someone please help me.

Importing
is it possible to create a button that let you browse into your files on your pc and load the directory of the file in a dynamic textfield; i need this to create an mp3 player and let you import one of your own songs. now it is working but you ave to type in the directory of your song in an inputtextfield but that is not sow handy. it's better if you just can select your song and import it.

Importing Swf
I have a site, tht i've done at flash mx, i'd like to import a movie i also have done in flash mx (another file swf) inside a scene of my site. How do I?? I know how to import it, but everytime i do it, the movie doesn't work when i test the site... why is it???
Actually wht i mean is tht if we have a site and we want to put a banner (another swf file) in it using flash, how do we???


thx

---

Importing Swf
I've done exactly as you told the message before. I added a new layer and put this: loadMovieNum(banner_flash.swf, 1); where banner_flash is the file i want to run in my site, for sure it is at the same folder the aim file is. But i had some problem when i was to position it at the stage, using "_level1._x = and _level1._y =" as you suggested. I'm using flash mx and i'm working at the expert mode, at the time i'm going to add an action script. It allways return to me messages of error (when debugging the movie). I assumed i'm not writing the script correct as it might be, tht goes bellow, take a look pls, n tell me, whr i'm doing it wrong...


loadMovie("banner_flash", "0");
_level1._x =1.9 _level1._y =5.7

thx

Importing .swf
Hello everybody !

Sorry if you thnik this question is stupid but I'm a newbie.
First, I use Flash MX.

Here is my problem. I've a got a flash movie of size 1024*768.

I decided to create a separate movie (so a separate .fla) of size 320*320. In this movie I made several animations, and one which expand the size of an object. Parts of this object get out of the viewing area but that's fine, this is what I want. When I test the .swf alone, it works fine.

When I import the .swf in my big movie, and place it somewhere, problems occur. Indeed, when I run the .swf of the big presentation, my little move is no more in 320*320 but in 1024*768, and thus I see parts of object that I wanted invisible!!!

Please somebody help me ...

Cheers

And no matter how I try to save them if I don’t use the swf the quality sucks any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks

Importing A .swf
Why is it when i import another .swf using loadMovie, whether it be into a movie clip or a new level, the content of the loaded .swf is slightly stretched. The swf im loading in is exactly the same size so i can't see why it would be a different scale. Is this a common error that i have to correct or have i made a mistake.

Importing An Swf?
Hi,

I'm fairly new to the flash game, and had a question about getting an existing .swf movie into a flash file I'm currently working on.

The .swf that I want to import is a picture scroller that I had created previously. Whenever I goto import it to stage as a .swf it just shows up as an image w/o any animation.

Could someone point me in the right direction with how to go about this?

Importing PDF
How do I import pdf files so viewers can print documents? I cannot get the import to work on this file format.

I want to have a button action bring up the file. I assumed that I would just place the pdf page on the stage and have the action of the button go to the frame. Or would this be a place for GetURL and place the pdf in the folder next to the .swf?

Any help appreciated.

Need Importing Help
Ok so I been trying to import images into flash from Adobe Illustrator in different file types. Such as Adobe Illustrator file format(.ai) and even exporting the file from Adobe Illustrator as a flash file(.swf) since it can do that.

Now when I import it into flash I notice right away I can't color it in. How can I color this work in with using flash?

When I exported the picture as a flash file out of Illustrator I could use the paint brush and color some of it but when I tryed to use the ink bottle or the paint bucket it would not allow me.

And of course it would be stupid just to use the paint brush to color in my whole picture.

So I am pretty sure this can be done since it would be pretty stupid if you can't color your picture you import in.

Importing FLA
I have 6 separate FLA files with no redundant symbol names. I need to put them all into a single FLA, each in separate scenes so they can play sequentially. I would prefer to avoid actually creating them sepearately and then importing the swfs onto each scene - it would be easier for me in the long run to have a single FLA to deal with.

Any ideas?
