Converting Swf To Mpeg And Embed In Powerpoint
hi, Background: I have a flash animation which has to be converted into mpeg format (which has to be embedded in PowerPoint) - I don't want to embed swf file, as the client may/ may not have the flash plug-in. Since Flash can't Publish mpeg, I thought : converting to .mov and then convert to .mpeg using Adobe Premiere or some other software wuld be easy.
Problem: I have a 300 frame animation that is exported as a .mov (published as flash 4 version). when i try to view the MOV file, for some reason.. it doesn't show up properly (the border seems to be white and the player controls i.e. play, stop, pause etc. - doesn't show up. It gave an error ""The installed version of QuickTime does not have a handler for this type of Macromedia Flash movie"?" and after checking MM site it says the error comes, if it is converted with actionscript that is not supported by the latest QT player (I have converted to Flash 4 format). so this should error shuldn't come, right.
has anyone encountered the same kinda problem??
Question: When i try to convert it using Adobe Preimier, it converts the MOV file to MPEG-2 format (and not MPEG) How can i convert this to MPEG. I want to embed MPEG in PowerPoint. ( i searched this site forums for powerpoint related questions, but it was not useful for me - farafiro has answered a lot of PPT questions. ).
I got another download WinMPG convert which converts SWF to AVI, but the quality is very very poor. any solutions/ ideas??
thnx for ur time!!

Converting SWF To AVI Or MPEG For TV Or DVD
Hi, I wonder if anyone is experienced in converting SWF to Avi or MPEG to be saved to DVD to play on TV/DVD player. I currently am using Flash 4 still and have downloaded FlashOnTv which works but, of course, none of the flash buttons - actions work. I have seen other bits of software which claim to convert human interaction and action scripting but the SWF files must be Flash 5 or above. If this really works I'll buy Flash MX.
Thanks anyone out there.

MPEG-4 Stream Converting
This is a very hard question. I almost posted it under 'Experiments'.
I have a D-Link ip camera, that is only able to export an mpeg4 stream to the server. Is there a way to have Red5 relay this stream in a format Flash can use?
Is there some other way to convert / broadcast an mpeg4 stream? I looked at ffserver, but it appears to do something different.

Embed Avi's/mpeg's In Flash
Is it possible to embed an avi or mpeg in a flash movie, in the same way that you could embed an mp3???
I'm not talking about importing an mpeg and converting it to a flash movie, i actually want to display the mpeg in its original format within a flash movie. This is so i can dynamically pass the filename of an mpeg from a database to the flash movie and have it play that particular mpeg.
Any thoughts?
Mpeg To Flash -> Embed In Web Page...
I have a number of mpeg movies that I would like to convert to Flash and embed in a web page. I also have Flash which came with my Macromedia MX suite. Can I do what I want with just Flash, or is something else needed for the conversion?
I've never used Flash, so I'm looking to embed the Flash movie with very minimal controls to play/pause/adjust sound.
Converting PowerPoint To Flash
I have many power point presentations that I have created and want to now convert them to flash.
I read past post's here that have said I could insert power point into flash and vice versa.
Which one do you recommend?
I am going to be experimenting with both of these processes this weekend to see which one will/will not work.
What I really want is a way to just convert the ppt files to swf. I want to be able to create these files so they have the same controls as the ppt files. I am not a programmer of script writer. Don't know much lingo either.
I did some research and found company's that have software that will do it (for an outragious price) or you can pay them to host your power point file on their web site and view it on your computer as a flash. I dont see the point in paying someone that outrageous fee when I can do this myself.
So is there anyone that has done this before that can help me with a few tips?
Thanks in advance for your time.

Converting PowerPoint To Flash
I primarily need to convert PowerPoint presentations to Flash with the best accuracy possible. I've been told FlashPaper 2 will do the job but can't get it running on my PC (1904 error message). I've given up on FlashPaper 2 and downloaded Flash CS3 Pro. I've got to believe somewhere in this extensive program I can convert my PowerPoint files to Flash. Can someone please walk me through this process using Flash CS3 Pro? -- Thanks!
Converting Powerpoint To Flash.
Hey, I am currently working with someone who wants to use a powerpoint presentation they made on a web page. So of course I instantly thought I'd use flash. I'm just wondering if there are any easy conversion methods or programs that you could recommend? I've already tried converting them by hand and it'd take a lot longer than necessary.
I preferably want something that makes an FLA as well as a SWF. Although it isn't necessary because I could always decompile it.
A very important feature is to have a "click to go to next frame" feature so it's not just an animation of the slides but I could always do that myself if it gave me an FLA.
I've looked at flashspring but only the very expensive ultra version has the click for next frame feature that I like and the pro and ultra versions don't come with an FLA.
Thanks for any help!
Converting A Powerpoint To Another Format
Hi, I know there have been other threads on this, but I have a couple questions that I didn't see on the other threads.
I know there are programs that convert a powerpoint to either Flash or video, but the one I downloaded didn't work properly. And on top of that, it had a huge ugly watermark right in the middle of the screen.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can convert a powerpoint to either video or flv, but without buying an expensive program that neither my client or I can afford?
Converting it to flash manually seems like it'll be complicated and time consuming, so I don't think I can do it (he wants this done soon).
Or is there anyone out there I can pay to manually convert this to video or flv? (I don't have much to pay, but I just want to get this done.)
thanks so much!

Converting Word/PowerPoint To SWF - Any Good Solution ?
Hello,
I'm having a hard time trying to import DOC and PPT files to Flash.
I've tried many SWF printers, but most of them just convert pages to
images (SWF Printer) and importing documents created with Print2Flash
just crash Flash CS3 !
The best thing I could find is PDF2SWf from Swftools, which keeps fonts
but here lies the problem as once imported it asks for a font
substitution and the whole text dissapears... (I only use basic fonts !)
If you know any good solution, let me know !
Thanks.

Powerpoint Flash Embed Problems
I'm having a problem with a .swf flash file in my presentation. The music from the flash file begins to play as soon as i open the powerpoint (I dont even have to play the presentation) The video of the flash file doesn't start until I get to its slide, but by then the music has ended because it started playing at the beginning of the presentation.
Anyone have any ideas as to why this could be happening?
thanks

[F8] Convert PowerPoint To Flash--PowerPoint Slide Show To Web Page
Convert PowerPoint to Flash--PowerPoint slide show to web page
Lots of beautiful or useful PowerPoint slide show can be placed on our websites with the popular Flash movie format. If you are a webmaster who is good at PowerPoint or have PowerPoint presentations to share with others, you will be interested in this article.
Of course you can put the PowerPoint presentation on a site directly as a normal PowerPoint PPT or PPS file. The file can be downloaded and viewed by customers who have Microsoft PowerPoint or PowerPoint viewer installed on their computers. But, does everyone have PowerPoint on their computer? Of course not! Thus this way is not proper to widely distribute your PowerPoint presentations.
Let’s consider the method that converting the PowerPoint presentations to html pages? Obviously by this way we can get directly html web pages to put in our web space. But the html format can not obtain the animations and transitions of the original PowerPoint presentation. And the kind of html pages may make our web site very slow!
What is the best way to distribute the PowerPoint presentation in the internet?To reply this question, there are three aspects should be taken to consideration:
1, Obtain the PowerPoint animations and transitions.
2, Easy to add to the web page.
3, Protect the author copyrights
Then which format is the best choice? HTML, PPS/PPT , or Flash? Obviously Flash is the best format which can fulfil above requirements
Advantage for converting PowerPoint to flash:
1, Preserve the original PowerPoint animations and transitions.
2, Reduce up to 90% of the PowerPoint file size.
3, Password protect the output Flash presentation. No one can edit it except the author.
4, Embed the Flash anywhere, create beautiful web page.
5, Small size file is easy to be emailed to others.

For Flash Newbies And PowerPoint Expert:Make A Homepage Flash Banner With PowerPoint.
May be it suit here!
I made an attempt to create a homepage banner with Microsoft PowerPoint and a third party tool Wondershare PPT2Flash Professional.I will show you in details in this article.
I think it’s hard to believe. But when I finished this work and publish it to web as a homepage successful, finally I believe. An idea to share it with all flash newbies and design fans pops up in my mind. That’s main reason for me to write this article.
Let’s start to create our PowerPoint work as a homepage now. I believe, PowerPoint is able to work in companion with Flash in future.
Ok, let’s begin our design tour.I will show you step by step. ^_^
My showcase: sample.swf
First, you must be sure that your PC has Microsoft PowerPoint installed. Launch the PowerPoint software. Setup it as follows:
1. File -> Page Setup. (Set the width and height as you like; I’ve set it as the below screenshot.)
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_01.gif[/IMG]
Click “ok” and the page will change as follows (The rudimental form of a banner appears.):
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_02.gif[/IMG]
2. Draw the loading rectangle by using a rectangle tool:
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_03.gif[/IMG]
Right click the rectangle -> Custom Animation -> Add Effect -> Entrance -> Wipe (other setups as follows)
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_04.gif[/IMG]
3. Insert football: Insert -> Picture -> From File -> Select a picture you want to insert
Add effects to football (three animations: entrance | emphasis | exit):
1) Right click the football -> Custom Animation -> Add Effect -> Entrance -> Fly in.
2) Add Effect -> emphasis -> Spin.
3) Add Effect -> exit -> Spiral out.
4. Insert a text box and input the sentence ““Let's publicize world cup's energy together!” in it. Add effects to the text box (three animations: entrance | emphasis | exit):
1) Right click the football -> Custom Animation -> Add Effect -> Entrance -> select one you want
2) Add Effect -> emphasis -> select one you want
3) Add Effect -> exit -> select one you want
5. Insert the photos and add effects to photos (three animations: entrance | emphasis | exit)

3) Add Effect -> exit -> select one you want
6. The final interface is as follows (please check your PowerPoint file):
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_06.gif[/IMG]
Ok, our PowerPoint banner is finished, but how to convert it to flash banner and to embed it to web?
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_05.gif[/IMG]
Yes, this tool – Wondershare PPT2Flash Professional will take up the final work.
Download from http://www.********.com/index.php?sid=6
You have two options: PPT2Flash Standard Edition and PPT2Flash Professional Edition.
After installation, you have two modes to operate this software:
1)With the shortcut icon from your tabletop. Double click it.
2)With the PPT2Flash’s plug-in mode, launch the Microsoft PowerPoint, it will show in the menu bar:
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_07.gif[/IMG]
Menu of PPT2Flash:
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_08.gif[/IMG]
You may Record Narration, Import Audio, Edit Audio, Insert Flash, Add Attachments, select Templates to your flash.
Ok, that’s all. I really hope you understand what I have written in this article.
Writing a tutorial isn’t a comfortable job. Does it suit you? Useful for you?
Is this article excellent or not? I am not sure. But I wrote it with my heart, really.

Open Powerpoint File From A Flash Movie Embedded In A Powerpoint File
hello everybody,
I need to open powerpoint files from a flash movie that will run within a powerpoint presentation.
So far I have understood the concept of fscommand and have been able to open powerpoint files from a flash projector. I have not been able to import the flash projector within powerpoint (I do not think it is possible anyway).
Note: I use flash mx 2004
Any help very much appreciated.

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'?

thanks to any comments in advance

SWF To MPEG
sometimes, we are limited by file formats, such as we can't play flash on our DVD, ususally we use some converter such as SWF to MPEG on http://www.swfkits.com/swf_to_mpeg/ , but when I want to play flash on my iPod, I need to buy another program, it is too trouble, some one show me a powerful program SWF to Video Converter Pro on http://www.swfkits.com/swf_to_video/ which can convert SWF to multiple video and does very good in audio and video synchronization, I found that because it adopts slower-playback-speed, and abstract audio other than recording, so the effect is much better than others, though these tools are useful, I want a program which integrate burning functions, so I can use it easily
