Moyea .flv to .fla??
Had posted here since I use Vegas 6.0, although not really related..I had used Moyea Flash MX Std to convert my Vegas .avi files to .flv & .swf It worked great and at H.264 the smaller files look really good! Thought I had addressed a colleague’s webvideo needs but their designer is having problems with the Moyea .flv….seems they want the .fla files (original source files?). Moyea seems to no-can-do! Arrgh!
Now is there any simple way to convert to .fla or do I need to start over…get a diff application… or punt? The Moyea is working great for sending out on e-mails, etc. Can’t understand why they can’t use the .flv or .swf for web.
Any suggestions or advice, thanks!

Hi
I used Moyea on and off for years, ever since they first came out with their original FLV to AVI converter. Never had any problems.
If you client wants to have an original FLA file then those are the original Macromedia files.
I found this for you:
“An FLA file is a Flash source file that contains all the animation and graphics. To manage this file you should have Macromedia Flash MX 6 or higher…”https://www.templatemonster.com/help/after_sale_support/Working_with_Flash/Basic/article5.html
I don’t know why they need the original FLA. It should work for the web if you sent both the SWF and FLV file that Moyea created.
If I’m thinking correctly, an FLA file is the same as a Vegas VEG file but I don’t know for sure because I don’t have Adobe’s full blown flash program.
My suggestion would be to send an email to Moyea explaining the situation and see what they say.

Thanks Alan,
From what I understand the .fla is the original source file created to make the .flv, .swf files. and that’s what they want.
They now tell me to send the .avi files (which are huge) and kinda defeating the whole purpose of why I converted them in the first place.
I’ve got a support question to Moyea and hopefully they’ll offer me some assistance.
Thanks for your thorough response,

Hi Charles
I wonder what kind of problems they’re having with the FLV file you sent them. I really find that hard to believe. FLV is FLV as far as I know (AFAIK). Did you send both the SWF player and the FLV movie together?
I don’t do Macromedia or get into actual programming of Flash. I use conversion software same as you do. However I do have Sorensen Squeeze with the ON2VP codec for encoding to flash. Maybe it was your settings in Moyea? If I remember correctly you have a few choices of settings.
Again, I’d try to find out exactly what their problem is before pulling your hair out! ;-)))

Hi Alan:
Thanks again for your reply. Basically the web designer told me that the Moyea files don’t or won’t play on all browsers. That’s pretty much a direct quote. I rendered the .avi file at 50% the 720 X 480 aspect ratio and set the kbps @ around 240, audio at 22050Hz / Stereo 48 kbps… And …did two versions: one in Flash8 and the other in H.264.
I uploaded all saved Moyea output files (.flv, .swf, HTML & Jpeg )to the .ftp provided. The main user had no probs getting them to play..it’s only after the web team got involved that things got weird and so now they want .fla
Guess they can’t embed or insert the Moyea files or don’t want to on the website.
That’s pretty much the gist of how I see it.
anyways, : (

Hi Chaz
Getting into the nitty-gritty of Flash, Maybe DSE can jump in but my Flash renders are usually either 640 x 480 or more often 320 x 240 w/audio @ 22.5 Mono.
As far as not playing on all browsers, I’d wait for Moyea’s answer. Did you tell them that in your email?
I got into that encoding some test Flash videos for my Legal Video website in that folks with Firefox weren’t able to see the embedded videos. I finally found a script somewhere that would work with all browsers but it was a bear finding it. I didn’t use MX Pro for those but Sorenson as I just got the program and was learning it.
I’d tell the client that you don’t have an FLA file because you used a conversion program and you have emailed them for an answer. Then they won’t be left hanging. Mean time, Moyea’s in China but they do respond quite fast to support questions.
Keep me posted on what happens.
