Hi Todd, and thx for replying so fast.
I actually have version 9.0.2.42 installed but it seems it’s not the updated version of the script. I don’t know why. editing it solved the problem but I don’t know if it’s the best way to edit it, like I did, I’m not a dev.

In case this is useful for others here’s what I’ve found:

I’ve edited the jsx file located in the scripts folder located under (on a PC):

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS4\Support Files\Scripts\Convert Selected Properties to Markers.jsx

then open it with any editor like notepad++
and you just have to edit line 48, juste replace this
existingMarker.cuePointName = time;

by this
existingMarker.cuePointName = existingMarker.cuePointName;

the save it and you just have to create the first marker, edit it and named it as you wish then select the property(ies) you wish and run the script, so now the markers appears with the little black squares in it and all of them are named like the first one. so flash will recognize the parameters as cuepoints.
hope this is clear enough, if you need the file modified here it is https://rapidshare.com/files/320732499/Convert_Selected_Properties_to_Markers.jsx.html

hi Devon,

You have to import the psd file as a composition or composition cropped layers. once imported you’ll have a new composition and a folder with the name of the composition containing the layers. just double click the newly created composition to see all the layers in the timeline.

hope this help.

hi,

you are right about graphic type element, just that some nested animations can be transformed into graphic ones and some can’t.
For this you have to change the movieclip property in the library (ctrl+L on pc) from moviclip to graphic symbol then you have to change the number of keyframe in the main timeline to match the lenght of the animation, and finally change to loop or to play once in the property panel. I didn’t mentioned this solution cause it’s a bit tricky and you have to know what you’re doing or you going to mess the entire flash. If you’re going for this, just keep a copy safe just in case.
If you still need help you can send me the fla to check if you can go on with this solution or if the avi export is a better solution.

hi,

Only animations on the main timeline are playable in AE, animations nested into moviclips won’t. I know it can be a pain but there are some options though :
1/ ask the author to change his FLA and make his animations, if he can, in the main timeline.
2/ decompile the swf with sothink decompiler (for example there are others) and then edit the animations yourself, but this means you know what you’re doing.
3/ ask the author to export his animation in mov or avi and then import the movie in AE. You can convert the swf directely into a mov or avi too using some free software, just google for it.

hope it helps, best luck
