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'?

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.
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?
Converting Flash MX Preloader Into Flash 8 Script
i use this script all the time for my preloaders in MX, i just attach it to a load bar graphic and it works fine:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_xscale = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
counter = math.floor(_parent.getBytesLoaded()/_parent.getBytesTotal()*100);
_parent.counterpercent = counter+"%";
if (counter>=100) {
_parent.play();
} else {
_xscale = counter;
}
}
{
Can someone please tell me why this doesn't work in Flash 8 and if possible convert it so it will work in Flash 8, thanks in advance
Converting Dynamic Flash To Static Flash
I have a lot of dynamic text I display in my flash site that I need to convert to static flash text or even html text if need be (but static flash text would be best). Is there anyway of doing this. Google doesn't seem to search programed text very will if at all so I need to get all this info displayed as static text so google can see it. It would be a huge job to do it all by hand so I was hoping there was a way to automate the process.
thanks for any help on this.
Elasticity: Help With Converting Flash 5 Code To Flash 8
Hello
because I have to make a flash menu with elasticity effect I came upon this tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/spring.htm
All OK but the code there works only with Flash 5. I somehow managed to concoct code that works for Flash 6 but still I didn't come even close to a code working in Flash 8. I'm using Actionscript only from version 7, I do not know anything about Flash 5 and 6. So please, the more experienced guys, help me!!
The code I concocted is:
MovieClip.prototype.move = function (centerx, centery, inertia, k) {
this.x = -this._x+centerx;
this.y = -this._y+centery;
this.xp = this.xp*inertia+this.x*k;
this.yp = this.yp*inertia+this.y*k;
this._x += this.xp;
this._y += this.yp;
};
onEnterFrame=function() {
this.move (_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse,0.9,0.1) ;
}
This whole code is on the timeline of the MC being moved.
So now the only thing I need is to make this code work for Flash 8
Please, help
Attach Code
MovieClip.prototype.move = function (centerx, centery, inertia, k) {
this.x = -this._x+centerx;
this.y = -this._y+centery;
this.xp = this.xp*inertia+this.x*k;
this.yp = this.yp*inertia+this.y*k;
this._x += this.xp;
this._y += this.yp;
};
onEnterFrame=function() {
this.move (_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse,0.9,0.1) ;
}

Problems Converting From Flash 6 Player To Flash 7...
Hi
I've made a forum in flash which runs using two flash built applications, one client and one server. I recently upgraded to Flash MX 04 Pro and decided to convert both applications to run as flash 7 format however on doing so created bugs with both client and server (the details of which I won't go into as they are complex apps and the problems could originate from changes to the behavior of many different aspects of actionscript in the newer version).
So I was wondering what could be the cause of the problems I'm having? Has anyone else encountered such problems?
Just to make it clear I'm having problems converting a movie from flash 6 to flash 7 format not in viewing a flash 6 movie with the flash 7 player

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)

Problem While Converting Flash 5 To Flash 4
i'm converting a Flash 5 script to Flash 4 script.
MCscripts - generic actionscripts
MCmasknav - targeted MC for x, y positions
button - gives according x,y coordinates calling the scripts in MCscripts
Flash 5 - i used function rolloverscript.
in MCscripts:
function rolloverScript(x,y) {
_root.masknav._x=x;
_root.masknav._y=y;
_root.masknav.gotoAndPlay ("start");
};
which i called with
on (rollOver) {
_root.scripts.rolloverScript(250,100);
}
now i'm trying to convert it to flash 4.
i got this far but its not working
in MCscripts:
_root.masknav_x = masknav_x;
_root.masknav_y = masknav_y;
tellTarget (_root.scripts) {
gotoAndPlay ("play")
}
calling it in object actions of button:
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget (_root.scripts) {
gotoAndPlay ("play");
masknav_x = 250;
masknav_y = 100;
}
}
but it is not working!

Converting Flash 4 Files To Flash 5
Inching toward the 21st Century, I have acquired a copy of Flash 5 and would like to convert my Flash 4 flas to 5.
I tried this with one recently--a simple slide show ( see:
http://sherpaboy.com/SnowRompSlideshow2.htm ).
When I opened it, the stage was blank--not even the background color is recogonized. If I test movie, everything is there and the arrow buttons work. And the images show up in the top of the library window when you click on them in the library. But when I created a new scene and tried to drag an image from the library onto the state, nothing happened.
I tried searching this site and Google and I have a Flash Actionscript/Coriolus book by Bill Sanders. But couldn't find anything on the subject.
Is there a book or a site that would guide me on how to convert. Or is it hopeless?

Converting Flash 5 Actionscript To Flash 7
Hi there,
I'm making a movie using actionscript 2.0 and I want to incorporate a Flash 5 movie into it, but obviously, this uses actionscript 1.0
I've got a version of the 'Tsunami' movie found on this sitehttp://www.flashkit.com/movies/Inter...6624/index.php which uses this code:
Code:
Movieclip.prototype.tsunamiLoad = function(identifier){
indexNum = identifier;
zDest = 50;
speed = 2;
}
Movieclip.prototype.tsunami = function(){
if (_parent.hitInProgress){
zDest = 100 - ((Math.abs(this._x - _parent._xmouse)/595) * 300);
} else {
zDest = 50;
}
if (zDest < 50){
zDest = 50;
}
this.swapDepths(zDest);
zDiff = zDest - this._xscale;
zMove = zDiff/speed;
this._xscale = this._yscale += zMove;
this._alpha = zDest;
}
/////////////////////
//Javascript Function
Movieclip.prototype.submitQuery = function(queryValue){
jsurl = 'javascript:submitQuery("' + queryValue + '")';
getURL(jsurl);
}
and it also has this code on the movie containing the tsunami
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (!this.hitTest(_parent._xmouse,_parent._ymouse)){
hitInProgress = false;
} else {
hitInProgress = true;
}
}
and this code on the buttons
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
tsunamiLoad(6);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
tsunami();
}
I'm really desperate to convert this to Actionscript 2.0 so that I can incorporate it into my new movie and still use my actionscript 2 code for the rest of the movie....
Can anyone help me out?.... please
Cheers
Rob
Converting Flash 4 Preloader To Flash Mx
I have a preloader that I really want to use on my site but it was created with flash 4. I have looked at the code and have no idea how to convert it to flash mx. Could someone take a look at it? I also think it was written in some other language. I also attatched the file if you want to take a look at it. Also, here is the link where I got the preloader from: http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Scrip...-556/index.php
P = int((100*_framesloaded)/_totalframes);
trace(P);
tellTarget ("/Prozent") {
gotoAndStop(_level0:P);

[F8] Converting Flash 4 AS To Flash 8 AS Problem
Greetings...
i found a somewhat old tutorial that i am using, however i need to convert some lines from Flash4 to Flash8...
and i'm certain certain of how to properly change the syntax for a few lines of the AS...
it basically comes down to the word "add" in a few lines i believe...
duplicateMovieClip("/point1_2", "/point" add (count+1) add "_2", count);
newx = eval("x" add count);
i thought maybe i could just change it to "+", but that didn't work at all... i have only ever worked w/ Flash8, so i'm not certain what the difference is in the legacy AS...
[CS3] Help Converting Flash 6 AS2 To Flash 7 Or Higher
Hey I'm new to flash, been learning for about a month now just playing around with different open sources and am trying to integrate a high scoring system in this snake game source but it's for Flash 6 and my leaderboard only works for flash 7 or higher. I tried reading and converting myself but can't seem to get it working 100%.
The game itself works fine when you set to publish as Flash 7 except for that when the snake hits itself it does not end the game. I was debugging the movie and the m variable is coming up NaN so I believe this is the only part I need help with is making sure this code sets that variable to 1. I've attached the code I believe is the issue as well as the full coding below.
Probably a small easy fix for anyone, I just can't seem to get it.
Code:
m[x] += 1; // set current pos as "occupied" by a snake block
FULL CODE:
Code:
var score:Number = 0;
var highscore:Number = 0;
var keycode:Number = 0;
startinfo._visible = true;
gameover._visible = false;
var t:Object = new Object();
Key.addListener(t); // use an existing object as key listener (we don't waste bytes by creating a new object)
t.onKeyDown = function() { // define an anonymous method to execute when a key is pressed
c = Key.getCode()-37; // get key code (c is a variable used "locally" several times)
keycode = Key.getCode();
if (!(c>>2)) { // arrow keys pressed (c = 0, 1, 2 or 3)
if (c != q[0]) // only add to the queue if it is a new direction
q.unshift(c);
return; // save the turn in the queue and exit method
}
// If Spacebar Is Pressed
if (keycode == 32) {
x = 32*8 + 32*520; // snake start pos (left and right side of + can be viewed as x and y coord
q = []; // a queue to store key presses (so that x number of key presses during one frame are spread over x number of frames)
m = []; // create an array to store food pos and snake
createEmptyMovieClip("s", w=0); // create MC to store the snake and the food MC and reset snake counter(w)
e = 2*(m[x-520] = 2*(r=1)); // set erase counter (e) to 4, set current direction (r) to up (1) and set food on the position the snake will be over the first time to place food
}
onEnterFrame = function () { // MAIN function
c = q.pop(); // ...pick the next turn in the queue (may be undefined if queue is empty)...
if (c%2 != r%2) // ...and check that it is not undefined and not a 180 degree turn (annoying to be able to turn into the snake with one key press)
if (c != undefined)
r = c; // change current direction to the new value
x += [-1, -65, 1, 65][r]*8; // move the snake to a new x position (-1 = left, -65 = up, 1 = right, 65 = down)
startinfo._visible = false;
gameover._visible = false;
if (m[x] == 1 or !(x%520) or !(int(x/520) % 33)) { // GAME OVER if it is a snake block or outside the map on the next position
delete onEnterFrame; // quit looping main function
gameover._visible = true;
hmscSound = new Sound(this);
hmscSound.attachSound("ohhhh");
hmscSound.start(0, 1);
if (score > highscore) {
highscore = score;
}
}
with(s.createEmptyMovieClip(w, w)) { // place a snake block (or food block the first loop)
beginFill(0x00FF00); // Food Color
if (w++)
beginFill(0xFFFF00); // Snake Color
_x = x%520; _y = int(x/520)*8; // set snake block position
lineTo(-7, 0); lineTo(-7, -7); lineTo(0, -7); endFill(); // draw a square
}
m[x] += 1; // set current pos as "occupied" by a snake block
if (m[x] == 3) { // check if there is a food block on the new pos
hmscSound = new Sound(this);
hmscSound.attachSound("blip");
hmscSound.start(0, 1);
score = +(w-(e-=5)-2)*2;
if (score > highscore) {
highscore = score;
}
do {} while (m[c = (s[0]._x = 8+random(64)*8)+(s[0]._y = 8+random(32)*8)*65]); // pick a free spot to place the food, save that number, place the food MC
m[c] = 2; // set the position picked on the line above to 2
}
if (e) { // if not food MC (s[0]) then erase last snake MC and entry in array m
c = s[e]; // get last MC
delete m[c._x+65*c._y]; removeMovieClip(c); // delete the value in the array m and delete the MC
}
e++; // increase erase snake counter
}
}
stop();
Thank you for anyone who takes the time to look at this for me and explain the right way.
Converting Flash 6 Site To Flash 8
Hi,
I am using a template that was written in flash 6 and am trying to add extra functionality that requires it to be published in flash 8.
When I try this it reports an error in the preloader code. Here it is:
quote:t = this.getBytesTotal();
l = this.getBytesLoaded();
p = l/t*100;
_root.PreloaderBar.gotoAndStop(Math.round(p/1)+1);
_root.PreLoaderBar.PercentL = String(int(p)) add " % "; *** this line is reported as garbage***
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
I tried changing the "add" to a "+" which reported no errors but then the mc wouldn't load.
Any help would be much appreciated,
thanks

Converting Site From Flash 6 To Flash 8
I'm trying to convert a flash 6 file to a flash 8 file, but when i do, it screws up the menu in my flash site. the menu freezes half way down. It compiles error free.
The menu has 4 items. When the user selects a menu option e.g. Home, the home page slides down from the top and the current page slides up. When I change the publish settings to Flash 8 the page doesn't slide down , rather it appears half way down.
The following is the script and I would be sooo grateful if anyone can help me out.
Action Script
//Main Timeline
//1
_root.link = 1;
stop();
//60
_root.scroller.scroller.gotoAndStop(3);
_root.DY = stage.height+4
_root.DX = stage.width+4
//122
_root.page2.scrolledMCrecipient.gotoAndPlay("t1");
_root.page3.scrolledMCrecipient.gotoAndPlay("t1");

Converting From MX To Flash 5...
How can I convert Flash MX files back to Flash 5 files? Whenever I try to open it with Flash 5, it says, "unexpected file format"
HELP ME CONVERTING THIS TO A FLASH 5 AC
Let me explain this 2 you... i "jumped" flash 5 when learning, so i learn how to use Flash MX but i don't know anything bout flash 5... The case it's that i've made an sliding efect (allright..i took it from a site and changed it 4 my purposes) on Flash MX but i have to publish it as Flash 5, but in the Flash 5 the "sliding" doesn't work!! I know there's a way to convert this ActionScript onto a Flash 5 compatible...so any help will be great...any ideas too.
The code that's on the _root level it's:
Code:
stop();
// handle onEnterFrame event
_root.slidingObject_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root.running && Math.abs(_root.marker_mc._x-this._x)<1) {
// set position and hang out
this._x = _root.marker_mc._x;
_root.running = false;
} else if (_root.running) {
this._x -= (this._x-_root.marker_mc._x)*.5;
} else {
// wait for button press
}
};
As you can see , there are 2 MCs on the stage, the marker and the Sliding Object... and when you roll over the buttons on the stage, the marker goes to a certain position taking the sliding with it (of course)...
the Action of the buttons it's
Code:
on (rollOver) {
_root.marker_mc._x = 55;
_root.running = true;
}
What should i do to make it work on a Flash 5 file ?
P.s: Yes...it have to be Flash 5
Converting From Flash 4 To 5 Help
can some one look at this and tell me what all I need to change to make this poll work in flash 5.
on (release) {
if (answer eq "") {
verify = "Please make a decision.";
} else {
verify = "Processing information...";
if (answer eq "one") {
poll_one = Number(poll_one)+1;
poll_two = Number(poll_two)+0;
} else {
poll_one = Number(poll_one)+0;
poll_two = Number(poll_two)+1;
}
poll_total = Number(poll_total)+1;
data = "";
data = data add text add "&poll_answer_one=" add poll_answer_one add "&poll_answer_two=" add poll_answer_two add "&poll_one=" add poll_one add "&poll_two=" add poll_two add "&poll_total=" add poll_total;
loadVariables ("http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/update.pl", "_level0", "POST");
text = "";
verify = "";
data = "";
tellTarget ("answer") {
gotoAndStop ("blank");
}
play ();
}
}
this is going to a perl file then it should bring the results back into the flash itself. haveing a hard time getting it to write from flash to the perl then to the poll.txt file.
Converting From Flash 5
I started making a website when 5 was the big thing, but have since changed to MX. I've been working on this site with out a problem since then, but I guess it's been saving and publishing as a 5 file. When I tried to add an MC with some actionscript that 5 didn't support, MX let me know. So I saved the file as MX and started publishing it with player 6. Well when I publish with player 6 nothing works. The buttons only have the script,
on (release) {
gotoandPlay(2);
}
and that should be supported in both 5 and 6. So I'm kind of at a loss as to what's happening. If I publish in 5 it still works, but then my new MC doesn't because it's not supported.
You can see the page at http://students.washington.edu/wjt2. So if anyone has any ideas on what this may be, I would appreciate it.
Thanks a lot!

Converting .mov To Flash
Hi,
I'm wondering if you can convert .mov's into .swf's, or better, (although, I have a feeling improbable) .fla's
Let me give you a bit of context.
I'm trying to take a QTRV (a panoramic quicktime thing) and convert it to flash.
If there's any way, I'd appreciate if you could help,
Thanks,

Converting From Flash V8 To V7
First, let me say that I know next to nothing about actionscript. I really really need help. I am an instructional designer who, with the help of a Flash developer, created a tutorial for our client. We delivered the project in Flash v. 8. The client has come back and said that they need it in Flash v. 7. Unfortunately for me, the Flash developer has since quit. I am now left with a demanding client and no developer. Here is the problem. When I try to publish in v.7, I get the following error:
Type mismatch in assignment statement: found Void where TextField is required
var menuItem:MovieClip = mainMenuTextTarget.createEmptyMovieClip(instanceNa me, mainMenuTextTarget.getNextHighestDepth());
var menuLabel:TextField = menuItem.createTextField(instanceName+"_txt", mainMenuTextTarget.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 200, 20);
This is the only error I receive (hopefully that is a good thing).
Can somebody tell me, very, very specifically, how this code can be changed in order to avoid the error and not break all the rest of the code that references these elements. I'm desperate!
Thanks for any help!
Avi To FLV Converting Using Flash 8
I'm trying to convert an avi file that works perfectly to a FLV file using Macromedia Flash 8.
The info for the avi file is the following:
Codec: a52
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Bitrate: 256 kb/s
The FLV file is trying to converted to the following:
Video Codec: On2 VP6
Audio Codec: MPEG Layer III (MP3)
Audio data rate: 96 kbps (Stereo)
After convertion the video looks fine but there is no audio.
I tried selecting another audio codec on Flash 8 but the only codec showing is MPEG Layer III (MP3). And its gray out. No option to select something else.
Do I need to install another codec so I can listen to the audio after converting?
Thanks.
Converting Flash To .mov...
I'm trying to convert a flash movie to .mov or .avi or something that will work on youtube. I've tried a few conversion programs but they either convert only the sound, or don't work at all! I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Converting To Flash
I there any possible way to convert this menu to flash? Go to http://rmv17.topcities.com/ to see the menu. The actual pictures do not show up, but you get the idea when you click on a link and sublinks show up under it. The reason I want to do this is because if I wanted to change something in the menu, I would have to change every page which is time consuming.
Maybe there is another way to approach it?
I am open to all suggestions.
Flash Converting Help
Hello all, new to the forums, long time Flash user. Too lazy to ugprade, but I use ol' fashioned Flash 5, and I'd like to convert my Flash movie to a .mpeg, or .avi, or .mov, anything I can, now I know Flash can covnert, and I've tried countless trial programs, but the thing is, when it converts, its always such a big file! I mean, I always see Flash movies people make on Youtube converted from a .SWF and they're about 7 megs tops, I made a soundless 175x100 video and it was still 200 Megs! I don't care for the quality, it's going on my celphone, I just need to know if there's a good way to compress converted Flash movies so they're not gargantuan files.
Thanks in advance

Converting Flash 5 Movie To Avi
Hi everyone,
I just completed a flash movie that is going to be used on cd and the web. Looks great on the web, no problems.
For the CD component, the program I am using to create the autorun requires that the intro movie be in avi format. When I export my movie to avi, portions of my movie dissappear (movie clips are not showing, only animations done right on the stage) and the sound litterally gets chopped into 588 pieces, so when I play the movie in windows media player, it sounds all broken!
Heeelp! My nice movie has turned into scrap! I'm in a lot of trouble if I can't get this working... ideas?
