I've not been following this conversation, so this answer may not fit
the bill. But I regularly use ffmpeg from within Rev to convert from
various formats to Flash. It's a very versatile and free program.
Maybe there's a solution in there for this issue.

Hello Mark
The process can be automated but it would take too much effort. Let
me enumerate the steps I took to simplify it...
1- Register and download the File Format Specification form Adobe
(when I did, I agreed not to share it, sorry)
2- Take a look at the document to understand the
Thanks, Andreas.
Unfortunately, I think that the requirement to have Director
available makes this method unfeasible.
I am not familiar with the Flash format. What is the byte level and
how do I find it? Or is that clearly described in the File Format
specification?
Do you think there
Mark,
Do you think there would be a possibility to do this without Director?
You will find utilities that convert to SWF (like Video2SWF, SWFFork,
png2swf) that may do what you want.
I think what Andreas is describing could also be done by using the 'binary
write' capability of Rev that can
Hello Mark
Unfortunately Director does not export SWF files anymore, therefore
it is necessary to use Flash (the development environment which is
actually very similar to Director).
Yes, the description of how the SWF file is conformed (even at bit
level) is within the File Format
Andreas, I'm not so sure creating a SWF file from Rev is as difficult
as all that. Perhaps it may be.
In any case, on Wikipedia it says about SWF,
Although a full specification of SWF is available, it is not an open
format, as implementing software that plays the format is disallowed
by the
Hi Andres,
Please share. It would be especially interesting if we could automate
the process.

Hiya,
Content aside, that's one of the best written texts I've seen in a
long while.
If this comes naturally to you, that's a gift. If you've worked at
it, the craftsmanship shows.
This is written regardless of personal opinion (that's should not be
taken to imply anything).
Cheers,
Richard,
I agree with Luis, very well written! Regarding a compelling must-have

in this forum and I'd hate to miss out on a good idea (if you catch my

Same reason they would choose RealBASIC or XCode or Visual Studio: they

I agree with Ken, but for a different reason, unless I slept partway

However I got stuck into the creation of the file where it is needed

What about a Rev cgi running the Rev web UI? It shouldn't need

I think most of this might stem from hopeful developers, especially
newbies looking at the Rev platform and its deployment capabilities,
hoping that it will also go that extra step.

Hello
When you create a Flash animation in Director, let's say a bouncy
ball, the generated file is very small because it is not created
frame by frame but instead (the same way as Revolution does) is has
layers of graphics and small code about position (and other info) for

Ken,
I understand exactly what you are saying, and I do agree that advancing
any product into another arena can be expensive, time consuming, and
may ultimately fail. But at the same time I feel that today's market is
very web-centric, and not having a plugin or control is a missed
opportunity

Ken's post raised the question of the cost/benefit ratio of developing a
