Flash Animation
When importing a Flash Animation (*.swf) file, SWiSHmax does not import any sounds, morph shapes, external video streams or Flash clip events. Clipping (mask) layers are imported, but are not automatically set as a Mask Object in SWiSHmax. The following Actions are imported, all other Actions are ignored:
| · | setLabel
|
| · | play
|
| · | stop
|
| · | gotoAndPlay
|
| · | gotoAndStop
|
| · | stopAllSounds
|
| · | nextFrame
|
| · | prevFrame
|
| · | getURL
|
| · | fscommand
|
| · | javascript
|
| · | mailto
|
| · | loadMovie
|
| · | if frame loaded
|
| · | var = expression
|
| · | _property = expression.
|
Sound
| · | Wave sounds (*.wav)
|
| · | MP3 sounds (*.mp3)
|
Note:
| · | When importing a sound, SWiSHmax will add a Play Sound Action that will play the sound to the current Frame of the current Scene or Sprite
|
| · | MP3 sounds are imported without SWiSHmax processing it, so external programs can be used for optimum compression or quality
