How to upload and post your Flash animations

Alright, you have your animation.

Amazing! good work.

Now, go to File > Export > Export Movie


Name it, or don't, and save it.


Now upload it to filebox.me, and there you go.
http://filebox.me/view/47tqa4xd5

If you want to embed the flash in your post, then copy the direct link instead:
http://filebox.me/files/47tqa4xd5_super_cool_animation.swf
and fill in the blanks.

[swf=DIRECT LINK HERE]height=* width=*[/swf]

example:

[swf=http://filebox.me/files/47tqa4xd5_super_cool_animation.swf]height=400 width=550[/swf]

And you'll get:
[swf=http://filebox.me/files/47tqa4xd5_super_cool_animation.swf]height=400 width=550[/swf]

If you don't know the height and width of your animation, check it in the properties of your animation



protip: you can post your animations like this without having 20 posts! woohoo.

Sad when this is needed.

an alternate solution to export is just hit control+enter (i think) to test the movie, and it creates the .swf to do so. unfortunately, that way you can't rename it immediately, nor tell it where to drop it.

Alt Control Enter and yes this is halfway sad but nice job 2D

ctrl+enter makes a swf if you've saved the .fla
If you save the .fla as myfirstanimation, the .swf will be myfirstanimation.swf
By drop, I assume you mean save, it saves the .swf file directly under the .fla because in most circumstances it's alphabatized, and f comes before s unless you're retarded or something.

It basically saves the swf in the same place as the fla

intersmesting.....

Awsome Thanx A Lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great, this will keep many strangers from bothering me on msn.

I'm having trouble posting this and having my flash files actually show up

MMMMM.......good

none of the links work, except for truploader, which doesnt accept my type of file :( HELP!

i always upload my anims with fileize...do u think it might work?

I tried to upload it to trueuploader but when i click upload it just sends me back to the home page.

i already have an animation but i didnt make a RHG character yet , can i just upload it or i must make my character first ????

I just use the swf. file of my animation and upload it on fileize. If you can't find your swf. file just go to publish setting, click on the folder icon behind your swf. file and just select a destination that is easy to find and click on publish.
