I have a small .swf file that I want to show on an iPhone. What’s the best way for this to work. http://www.theofficebureau.com The file was been produced in ‘Text-Osterone’
I don’t own one, but isn’t one of the main selling points of them
that they don’t support Flash at all?
Heh. Heather, it isn’t really a selling point (except to you
perhaps), no matter how much you hate Flash! The iPhone doesn’t
support Flash for a number of reasons:
Processor load and battery life. It would have an impact.
Security; Apple is seriously careful about anything that could
open up the iPhone to access from outside.
And this is the big one… Flash support would give people an
end-run around the iTunes Store. Apple doesn’t want to lose this
control.
Hi Lee,
I just so happens I was looking into this myself. I’ve a number of
Flash (SWF) banners (that were created outside of Flash itself) and I
wanted to convert them to animated GIFs.
Here is my current workflow; http://www.freewayactions.com/test/swf2gif/
It currently requires the Windows only application Magic SWF2GIF but
seems to do quite a good job of the conversion. Also if anyone can
suggest a 100% Mac workflow then I’ll be only too happy to drop this
tool for a Mac equivalent.
Regards,
Tim.

It does a good job for what I tested it on and it’s dirt cheap.
The one thing it does not do is convert from video to still sequence. But you could do that with Quicktime pro once the flash is converted to a mov file.
