Re: Re: [Flashcoders] exporting dynamic swf art to other apps
I actually ended up solving this problem from the other direction. It seems
that there's no magic bullet solution from within Flash or the player so I
tried a different tack and found that I can script Illustrator using
JavaScript. I'm sure many people know about this but it was news to me. In
about an hour I was able to transcribe my AS to JS and recreate my Flash
composition in Illustrator. It executes much slower than Flash, but now I
can take my composition to other mediums.
If any body's interested, here's an introduction to Illustrator scripting.

Thanks everybody for your help.

John: I just played around with this. Unfortunately it flattens all the
layers to screen resolution and I need to blow it up for print. It also
flattens it to the background, and Ideally I'm looking for a more
flexible
solution.
Joylon: That's a good point about the pdf writer only having the ability
to
pull the library assets, and not the runtime alterations. I hadn't put
that
together. It explains why I had no luck with different pdf settings.
I'm downloading some decompiler trials, and hopefully I'll have more
luck
with one of those.

This is a method used a lot by Joshua Davis, I took his FITC boot
camp
course and no, you can't retain the alpha values and presumably
filter
(not
tried w/filters).
I think you'll find that because the alpha and filter properties are
applied
at run-time the pdf you output will only embed the standard library
symbols
without any of this information.
Also, you might find you get better result printing as .ps files,
Illustrator will like them more than pdf but it still won't solve
your
problem, sadly.

Hey all,
I'm generating art in actionscript that I need to export from my
swf
and
bring into Illustrator or Photoshop for final tweaks before
sending
it
out
to a large format printer. I know you can export from the IDE
but
since
everything I'm using is dynamic I can't use those functions.
My current best method is to print the swf to a pdf from the

and
open
that pdf in Illustrator. Unfortunatly I lose all my alpha and

this process, and since I might have 1000 or more instances in
my
export
those values are nearly impossible to recreate. I've tried
adjusting
the
pdf
settings but I haven't found the right combo yet.
Does anybody here know of a method to export still frames (I'm
not
trying to
export video or motion here) from the swf in a vector format?
This issue has been nagging me for quite a while now, and I

any tutorials or tips online on how to do it. I'd really
