ActionScript 2.0 :: Access Browser Info From Flash Movie?
Oct 2, 2009
I recently came across interesting banner that said something "You've been wasting time online for 4:30h do something useful finally, click here"What grabbed my attention, was that this flash banner actually got the time right, I logged in 4:30h ago. How did the flash know that? Is there a function that communicates with browser and checks how long it's been on? Javascript maybe? Same way it accesses getTime, getDate etc.

I came across a website recently that outputs a whole bunch of user info: IP, browser, OS, flash version, javascript, etc in a very easy to use format. It was specifically designed for remote support, in order to determine user operating environment. However, I cant recall the name of the website.

I need to be able to pass information to an open SWF from another browser window.
Here's the ideal setup:- User runs a script in a new window- This script detects an already open window with the name specified (I give a name to the SWF's window using javascript)- The script then passes information to the open SWF and closes the current window, passing focus to the SWF's window
That's how I want it to work, but I don't know how (or even IF) I can pass information to an already open SWF.

I have a PHP mailer form on my site which needs to be published in action script2 to work, but I also have a script set up to open browser windows of a certain size & location which needs actionscript 1 to work? The PHP mailer form has a "Name" field, "Email" field & "Message" field, theses can all be reset with a button. The button clears off any text in the 3 boxes to wipe them clean. The script on the reset button is:
on(release) {
_root.myForm.formNameField.txt = ""
_root.myForm.formEmailField.txt = ""[code].....
This works fine with section script 2 but not with as1. Does anyone know of a script that resets the .text field on as1 Alternatively is there any way of opening browser windows from a flash movie with browser win controls, eg. centre win, no scrollbars.

I've dynamically created a whole bunch of movieclips.
I've given each clip a name based on a variable number:
mc.name = "mc"+i;
I've also use addChild to add a couple of dynamic text fields to each movieClip, named myText1 and myText2.[code]...

I created a photo album viewer which grabs an XML file from my web site, and then parses the XML to get the paths to all the photos to be displayed by the album viewer. The code makes use of the URLLoader class to fetch the XML. The problem, though, is that in google Chrome it works-- but in IE8, it doesn't work. For example, the XML code and the image fetching code work seemlessly on Chrome. But in IE8 and in IE6, it seems to not be able to fetch such information.
I've read somewhere that you need a crossdomain.xml file at the root directory of your server. But I'm not crossing any domains! It's all coming from my server where the swf is being hosted!

Is it possible to read numbers and names from a Flash page before they are rendered by the browser ? The webpage is changing dynamically and I would like to capture the data every about 60 minutes. I have no access to the Flash website but I might be able to modify an open source browser. OS is Win 7 and I can speak a little C++.

There is a web game that I play and I used fiddler to see what temporary files it downloaded. While I was playing I deleted all those temporary files including the sounds and flash files. But it didn't affect the game at all. Why is that? I checked in fiddler and it doesn't look like the files were redownloaded.

I'm having a problem with pathways. I have a main sfw called "loadgallery.swf" and upon clicking buttons in that movie, it loads other swf galleries into a container called "movie." It is working when I test it in Flash, but not when I put it into an html page (two levels up from the swf files) and preview it in a browser.Here's the AS on a button (which works when tested in Flash):
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
loadMovie("../../galleries/swfs/gallery1.swf", movie);

I have some scrolling content (info). I've also made my own scroll bar.I want the scrollBar dragger to be positioned in relation to the info._y as the user scrolls info.I have created two vars: one that worsk out where info._y is as a percentage and the other that works out where the scroll._y dragger should be as a percentage...
Actionscript Code:
var scrollBarPercent = Math.round(scrollBar.dragger._y / [code]........
also onMouseWheel working too.I need a small bit of code that takes the % of info._y and moves the scrollBar dragger to the same % but in relation to the Stage.height...so if projectGalleryPercent = 50%, make dragger._y 50% of Stage.height using scrollBarPercent.

Ok, in a nuthsell I am looking to write a piece of actionscript using an included PHP file that connects to a mySQL databse. Depending on the result of the database, I want to know if its possible for the actionscript to then control a movie clip.Ok I'm probably not making an awful lot of sense, so I'll basicaly lay out what I want to perform (if it is at all possible).The flash file will essentialy be a map of the world and will list certain ports (i.e. New York Harbour, London Harbour, Sydney Harbour). The flash file then connects to a database to find out if each harbour has a sailing ship present. If a ship is present at the harbour, a movie clip of a ship would be turned on for that particular harbour, if no ship is present the movie clip would remain hidden.

I'm using Flash MX, but these movies might have been saved for Flash 4 (what I used to use). I'm using IE and I have tested on other browsers and it seams to have the same problem. I have two small flash movies playing as part of my site design but when I scroll, this clearly lag creating a 'white box' where the movies should be until they move. I'm pretty sure the lag is with them two movie clips. My site is at [URL] (it's on the main site that I have the lag). They are Flash 4 Swfs.

Anyway, I have a 2037px wide flash movie that I purposely made that wide so that it would take up just about any screen.
What I'm trying to do is simply center it and basically hide the overflow on smaller screens when the movie appears on the end user's monitor. I can't get it to center, however, as it always just wants to align to the left. I don't want to use the 100% feature because that distorts the movie.
I've tried using the "overflow: hidden; text-align: center;" CSS feature, to no avail. Is there a way in CSS to make this work? Do I need to use javascript or something? If so, which script do I use?

I'm having a hard time setting up my website page to center (vertical and horizontal) my flash movie in a browser. I was finally able to get it to fit screen no matter what resolution, but it looks more to me like it's aligning itself top/left.

I'd like to gain read only access to the following parameters of embedded Flash videos located on sites that I do not own through my own custom browser extension/add-on:
Time location of playback head (so I can display the current time in the browser extension via HTML5/JavaScript) Frames (so I can make capture them to an image file, save it and display image in browser extension) Original Dimensions in pixels (so I can display the original video dimensions via JS/HTML5 in browser extension)
Is this possible by using Javascript and HTML5 from a browser extension?
Would I have to use something like the SWFObject Javascript API [URL]

I created a cs4 flash movie on our website and everything worked fine. When I modified it and uploaded it, however some browsers are not loading the new movie unless they clear their cache (IE 7, Safari so far).Is there some way I can tell the browser to grab the updated version (same name) automatically?

There is a php script on a server that outputs a list of the JPGs in a folder, as a text file. My SWF reads this php file perfectly when the html/SWF is run from my browser locally (on my computer), but DOES NOT WORK when the html/SWF is loaded from a server. There is no error message, and the request never triggers the "OPEN" event.
This makes no sense to me since the URL request is made from my IP address, whether I download the html and SWF from a server or run it locally, right? Also, I can directly access the php in my browser. The PHP is running under the ModX CMS.

Stage["displayState"] = "fullScreen";

But it is not working this way, it is working when I put this type of code:
function goFullScreen()

I have tried everything to get my Flash movie to completely fill the browser but to no avail. I have made the dimensions 100% w + h as well as making all the margins 0 px. Am I missing something as when I compare my HTML source code it seems the same as others but the result is with me having white borders around the published file.
Here is the link for the source code.

I have an image gallery with a bunch of thumbnails displayed on the page in a grid-like layout. Currently, the swf sits in a HTML page set at 100% width and height. There's a resize listener that adjusts the layout so that the thumbnails all fit on the page
at once. So, as the browser window gets narrower, the columns decrease and rows increase as the thumbnails get pushed down the page.
The problem is, once the thumbnails get pushed far down far enough to go past the bottom of the browser, the overflow is hidden and the thumbs "below the fold" are not accessible. Is there a way to pass the dynamic height of the SWF, so that the browser detects whether or not it should display the side scroll bar?
