I have developed a swf, lets call it "project.swf" which will require updating over time, so to avoid a user loading an old version I will name the files thus:"project1.swf", "project2.swf", "project3.swf" etc everytime a new version is published.
I load this file from a movie called "get_latest_version.swf", into which I hard code the latest version of "project.swf". Not very efficient at all!!So heres what I want to do: In "load_latest_version.swf" can I create a way of detecting the highest version number (newest version) and automatically loading that instead of always hard coding a new version number everytime I add a new feature?
I have tried various codes (probably wrongly) and read different posts and failed to achieve what I am after. So to cut going round in circles I have just made a simple test folder. There are 3 things I am trying to achieve so that latest files are loaded instead of browser cached versions.
Everything is linked properly in the TEST folder (apart from the code to get latest non cached version)
You can download the TEST.zip folder (73KB) here- [URL] It's completely safe to download and please ignore the annoying pop up ads. I signed up for free service hence the ads.
The three things I want to achieve-
In the TEST.zip folder start with index.html.
1- There you will see >Enter Button< and >portfolio.pdf< button. Nothing will change on index.html page but the portfolio pdf will be regularly updated. So I want the >portfolio.pdf< to fetch the latest pdf always. I assume the code will go on the >portfolir.pdf< button?
2- >Enter Button< will take us to master.html page which contains master.swf. Master.html is only a container but master.swf will be regularly updated and needs to always load the latest master.swf version.
3- Load image.swf button will load image.swf. I want the button to load the latest image.swf file always.
I have a button that loads guestbook.swf. As guestbook would be updated by me I would like the latest non cached version of guestbook.swf to load always. This is the code on the button currently. What would the code look like to load the latest version from the server? You know some random number/date time stamp thing? I tried using some Googled AS2 code off the web and the button stopped working.[code]
This is a silly question.. I have been away from flash for a while and looking to get back in and also upgrade from 2004 MX. Is the Adobe Flash Pro CS 5.5 the latest version?
Let me preface this by saying: This is definitely a bug either with latest Adobe Flash Player or the streaming Media Server (in this case Real Helix):In the latest version of the Flash player (10.1.82.76) Code that worked previously in version 10.1.53.64 does not work now. This is basic code to connect to an RTMP server (Real Helix) using Netstream class. NOW the video does not even display and there is no error message . THIS ONLY OCCURS in a BROWSER . Also I am using swfobject to display the flash and I tried with latest version and the old 1.4.1 version.
private function init():void video = new Video(); NetConnection.defaultObjectEncoding = ObjectEncoding.AMF0; nc = new NetConnection(); nc.client = this;
Everything works in the IDE, but nothing works in the new player. It doesn't even give me an error, even though I'm supposedly running the Debug version. what adobe changed or how you are supposed to load external swf files now? I believe it's only 10.3.183.5 that is screwed up.
When I rollover my thumbnails I want it to load the corresponding version of a bigger picture, which is stored in the name property of each thumbnail. This works but the problem is i also want to, when clicked, goto a URL adress. But now the name property already have the path to the big version so I cant put the URL-path there. So how do I make each thumbnail find the "big version" and the url-path?
Code: //thumbnail picture thumb_Loader.load(new URLRequest(xmlList[i].attribute("thumb"))); //thumbnail BIG picture thumb_Loader.name=xmlList[i].attribute("source");
How do you force your movie to load a fresh version of xml each time it plays? Say the file I want to load is called "galleries.xml" and it gets updated often, what can I do to ensure flash loads the most recent version?
a client asked me to incorporate a flash version check in a flash application i made for him.it should read something like: "you have flash player 10.x.x.x.x.x.x.x the current version is 10.1.x.x.x.x.x.x"the user veriosn is easy to get with Capabilities.versionbut is there an url on adobe's site to get the string of the current downloadable version from?
I need to validate an uploaded SWF to ensure it meets certain Flash and ActionScript version limitations. Anyone know a good Python library to parse metadata out of a SWF?
Are there any plans to upgrade the SDK to version 8 or 9 or release a updated flash version for the Wii. It's ridiculous that Adobe has not done this already considering the sheer volume of people using the Wii web browser.
i have a Main class and a other class called Calc everything seems to works when its written fully written but when i condense it into a loop, behavior becomes different and broken posted the FLA and Class heres the working version [URL] and the loop [URL] im trying to get the loop version to behave just like the written out version,
I identify my current installed debug version? Basically, I am using Flex 3, for past 2-3 days whenever I launch any Project or debug it, I get the message box saying "Flex Builder requires a more recent version of Flash Player." It says my curent FP as 9.0.115.0 and debug version as 9.0.45.0. However, my actual FP version if FP 10.0.22.87. I don't understand why this confussion! I don't know how can I know my actual version of Debug player.
i m using adobe flash cs3 with AS3 . I have updated my flash player in version 10 and it's activeX. But while I gonna publishing it , I do not get option of version Flash Version 10 in Flash Tab of File>Publish Settings. How, can I have option of Flash Player 10 ?
I'm using this line of AS code to load in some text in a .txt file on my server:Code:myData.load("articles.txt");The problem is when I update the text in the .txt file, upload it to my server, and view my Flash movie, it doesn't load in the latest version of the .txt file that I just uploaded to the server, but an older version. It takes some time to be able to see the new .txt file through the Flash movie.Is this:-Because I need to change my Flash AS code somewhere to always load the latest version from the server (rather than look in the browser's cache)?
I've got Flash CS5.5 and am trying to build a sample Away3D 4 model viewer. I must not have the latest api for fp11, because the compiler comes back with this:
"Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: TextureBase"
The file "RendererBase.as" from the Away3D library is importing a number of files from the flash.display3D package (including TextureBase), which apparently I don't have.
I downloaded the latest debug version of flash player 11, what else do I have to do?
I've been scratching my head over this problem for two weeks now, trying to test (destroy) my router, internet connections, and flash apps to try and solve this problem. First of all, what I am trying to do: I've got a php socket server set up, and on localhost and lan connections with XMLSocket the server and flash clients work fine. But from the internet only some versions(or at least that is what I suspect) seem to connect. There is only one instance in which the connection worked, the client actually asked for a policy file... but I haven't been able to ask that guy's flash version yet. Is there anything different in the latest flash versions that prohibits XMLSocket from connecting to worldwide IPs?
I have two arrays arrscore and arrname i push the percentage to arrscore when the person has finished the quiz and the name to arrname. when the quiz is done once and i trace both of the arrays it's fine but when the quiz is done twice instead of giving all the results in the arrays it only traces the latest one.
I have an action script 2.0 that I need to change to 3.0 and was wondering how to do that.Also wondering since I did this a number of years ago, I need to have my Tsunami menu updated to the latest Flash movie.
I have a swf made in Flash CS4. It works fine in firefox and older versions of flash player in IE, but it doesn't work in recent versions of IE and Safari In this case just I can hear the music.
When trying to use the latest AMI on AWS for Flash Media Server, everything seems to work right going upstream (server connects, stream goes to server), but the F4M file doesn't seem to make any client or OMFS happy. I get the following error - "The F4M document contains errors. Error #1009".
I'm trying to create a simple disappearing action when a WheelParticle hits a special disappearing CircleParticle. Normally the WheelPartical bounces off of a bunch of other CircleParticles, but when the WheelParitcal collides with this CircleParticle, the action Pauses, an animation plays, and when the action resumes, many surrounding circle particles have dissappeared.
The problem is that the WheelParticle needs to just drop from a complete stop, but it continues as if having just bounced off of the, now non-existant CircleParticle. I'm having trouble clearing out the forces. I've tried init(), addForce() and changing .velocity amoung other things, but it keeps wanting to continue the lateral bouncing movement. I'm using the latest trunk version of APE in order to capture Collision events for sound.
I'm just about to uninstall and reinstall at this point but I'm getting my install all screwed up trying to update Flash Pro CS5.5 to use Flash Player 11. I had it fine using the MXP provided in this adobe blog. Though that's 11.0 not 11.1. It did work however.
I downloaded the latest Flash Player / Debugger .exe and the latest SWC for 11.1 and now Stage3D is no longer being seen. Clearly I screwed something up. I uninstalled and reinstalled the MXP after deleting the FP11 XML and FP11 directory but it's not working anymore.
Is there a clear cut simple way to explain how to overlay the latest Flash Player for FPCS5.5? I used the AIR overlay instructions for 2.6 - 3.1 and it worked every time. Now I just need Flash Player overlay instructions. I'm very interested to start trying to Starling framework with Stage3D. I select FP11 to export and it tells me it can't find Stage3D.
I'm working on a site (http:url...) where I'm using an elastic effect on a window that will display the conent. Here is the code I have so far: Code for elastic is on a frame:
Now all of this code works fantastic when I publish the movie for the Flash 6 Player,but when I change it to the latest Flash 7 Player it doesn't work.
