FLA files

Post by Damster25 »

I want to submit my animation to newgrounds and it says my chances of getting on the are higher if I include a preloader. I have the FLA preloader files, but i don't know how to get them into anime studio.
Please Help me. :?

Sorry but Flash files of any type (FLA or SWF) cannot be imported into Anime Studio. You would have to export what you need from AS as a SWF file and import it into Flash and use Flash to put everything together with the preloader.

As for the soundtrack, when exporting from AS I believe it has to be an MP3 for it to be used inside Flash. I'm not entirely sure on that, as I have only exported animations for use in web banners and have not used anything with sounds in it. I believe I read it in the Anime Studio 5.6 documentation (there were tips on exporting your projects for use in Flash).

you can use swish to compile and make preloader if you have budget issues.

I have read that to export a flash with sound you must copy your have your wav file and a mp3 with the same name in the same directory. AS will take the avi when you be editing the animation, but when you export, it will take the mp3.
I haven't tried it yet, but if I remember well, this should work.
