Hey! Is there anyway I can convert and avi file to and swf file?

Posted

You need Flash MX

 

In Flash MX, open a new document

 

Use the File Menu, Select Import then select Windows Video (AVI) and then import your video clip

 

Then export your movie to SWF.

Hey will SWISH do that?  Now I've never tried Swish, but I know some folks that swear by it for low cost alternative to Flash.

 

Hmmmm.

I don't think so. Swish is okay for basic text animations.

 

The biggest improvement from Flash 5 to Flash MX was the inclusion of video, Swish lacks to firepower of Flash for serious work.

You don't "convert" from an .AVI file to an .SWF file because they're two completely different things. ;)

 

AVI is a video file format and SWF is for Macromedia Flash animations.

 

You can indeed import video files into flash animations but that's not "converting" the AVI file to an SWF.

 

There's also another way which is to turn the video into vectorial frames.

A good example is here: http://www.egomedia.com/default2.html

Check out the "EGOTHEFILM" desktop icon and you'll see what I mean.

If you like flash animations, be sure to also check out the rest of their website, it's really cool :D

I know I've seen some tools to do this but I really can't remember where. Maybe google can help you out.

This tool can do it for you Here. Here is another Another, and here is how you do it with Swish;

 

Import the avi file into an animation program like Paint Shop Pro's Animation Shop. Then export from animation shop as a animated gif, then with this animated gif you can import into swish.
