I have created some flash banner ads for a client to put into his own website, which he can edit himself using a third party piece of software (is it Blue Martini??... or something like that). I have published my banners for player 8, and normally this is fine when used within a dreamweaver html page, in that if someone doesn't have the right version of player, they are prompted to download the latest version using javascript. Thing is, this isn't happening with the site my banners are going into, and people with version 7 player are missing elements of the banner!! I'm thinking its because of the way the swf is placed into the site??? Is there a way I can control the detection and direct to a download within my flash file only? with actionscript??
I am trying to build a preloader that detects the user's Flash Player version, and then loads the matching content: if the user has Flash Player 11, Stage3D content should be loaded.
The problem I'm running into is that a preloader that is compiled for Flash Player 10 can't display Flash Player 11 content, even if it is running in Flash Player 11.
Is this true? Are there solutions other than detecting the player version in JavaScript?
Anybody have (or know a source for) an actionscript that will do all of the following:
1. Detect the broadband connection speed of a site visitor.
2. Detect the version of Flash Player they have.
3. Use above information to steer the visitor (seamlessly and unbeknownst to them) to the one of several versions (on a streaming server) of an flv'd video that is the most appropriate for their connection speed/player version combo?
Also, what range of kbps versions would cover *most* situations (e.g., 100, 300, & 450?)
My loader component works when I publish to Flash Player 7 but not when I publish to Flash Player 8, why? The publish setting are for ActionScript 2.0 on both.
I am trying to create a flash player to display images in sequence using Flash player & ActionScript. The code below has lots of errors and I can't work them out. I have programmed in other languages and am perfectly aware that something like this.
*code*var imageLoader:Loader;imageLoader = new Loader(); // 1120: Access to undefined property imageLoader*/code* OR*code*var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader(); // 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time: Loder*/code*
I have a swc plugin embedded in my product to stream live video to a group of recipients.The plugin uses the NetStream, NetGroup and NetConnection objects, the server I use to handle the RTMFP session is Influxis.One client creates a group as a publisher, and stream a live video.His Camera is enabled and I can see the video on the screen as well. The others connect to his group and play the video.Peer assisted Networking is enabled for both the publisher and the recipients.The plugin worked well in all 10.x versions (10.1/10.2/10.3)However, when upgrading to flash player 11.x, it stopped working.
-11.x to 11.x isn't working. -10.x with 11.x isn't working. -only 10.x to 10.x is working.
The server I use to handle the RTMFP protocol is Influxis.com I sent them the same question as well.The weirdest fact is that I'm using flash builder 4.6 with 4.6 sdk, which is aimed for flash player 11.1, and it is only working with 10.x flash players.
I'm having a performance problem that seem to be related to Flash Player 11.I noticed this mainly because Chrome auto-updates the flash player. So, it's now up to 11 in Chrome. During a sliding section transition, the flash player chokes and skips about 10-20 frames. In essence the content jumps, not a smooth transitions. You can see this at the following url. Using a browser with 10, plays as intended, a separate browser with 11, chokes and jumps ahead.
firstworldproblems-[url].....I have security sensitive site, that is more elaborate that I can't share here. But, the same issue is happening above.I'm using LoaderMax to load assets. Adding it to the stage and then animating them in from the left or right of the stage, using Tweenmax. The one I can't show is a series of images, 1280x640 pixels, 10 in total.Removing items from the stage when they are not visible, so I can get the CPU usage back. On Flash Player 10, this is working as intended.On 11 it jumps. I don't think it's the removing assets from the stage that's choking the player, because the above link has the same issue.I feel like this is a Flash Player 11 performance issue.
is it possible to detect if flash is installed using PHP. My aim is, that if it is installed it will play a flv file, and if not it will use another player eg; quicktime?
In some cases, such as what my client wants - Flash 6 and Flash 7 players behave slightly differently... a very annoying thing at times.Now, what I need to be able to do is to detect what version of Flash Player the user has. This will be done while my flash application is playing and then run the appropriate part of the function I am writing.Any way to detect what version of Flash Player is running from within the Flash Player?
I have tried searching for a solution on the net but to now joy.I can detect millisecondes in flash (getTimer()) but what I would like to do is detect microseconds.
Is there a way to detect end of Flash movie (OOTB, without using some sort of flash callback). Alternatively, is there a way to know the length of the movie? Update: IsPlaying() looked promising (periodically checking it), but as it turns out, nobody is creating straight forward swfs any more; now, the content is embedded in main layer and while the content plays, the main movie is stopped and IsPlaying is always false...
I'm trying to create a air-hockey game, in flash using AS3.At the moment, I am using an enter frame function to check the positioning of the 3 objects, 2 paddles and a ball, then it checks to see if they are in contact, if they are it then initiates a detect collision function.However it's checking every time the frame is loaded, and at 25 fps, this is quite a lot and the app lags.
I'm creating a website with Flash embedded into it. I understand that iPads do not support flash. I also have a non-flash version ready only to be used for iPad users. How do I detect the end user's device and redirect them to the version directly ?
I am bumping into a very strange behaviour on Flash.If you on the Flash IDE create a shape with a mask associated to it, save it and then export it as a swf, you cannotprogramatically know there is a mask (displayObject.mask is null)
Here's a simple test script to prove that: //executed on enter_frame with the root object function test(d:DisplayObject) : Void
I'm making the simplest swf for a friend who has real problems remembering the actions of a Left and Right click with the mouse. So I would like to show text when "Right" click is detected and the same for a Left click. This at first seemed an easy project but the right mouse detection has got me baffled.
I am making the flash bit of a kiosk. The swf will be running in a exe shell. Is there a way to have the swf see what is containing it (browser, exe shell, my hand, your hand...) and if it is contained by the exe shell it will call fscommands, otherwise it wont? The exe isn't finished yet, and I'd like to test my swf without it giving me security errors. I'd also like to be able to show my boss the swf in as few clicks as possible
I have two mp4 video files on webserver, i wanted to play them in flash player(flv player) on my asp.net page, but i couldn't be able to play them, i also tried to play them in quick time player the same prob occured. but i waz giving the accurate path, there were no spaces in mp4 file names etc. Does it need to have mp4 player(or codec etc) installed on webserver?
I have also some wmv files on that server , and i am playing perfectly using silver light player, and media player object on my website.
I am trying to make the SIMPLEST POSSIBLE MP# player using the player component preinstalled in flash.It is very simple, the code is as follows:
Code: on (release) { player.contentPath ="Song.mp3" player.play() } ("player" is the mp3 component)
This works if I want a single track to be selected and played.Now, I need it to AUTOMATICALLY LOAD THE NEXT TRACK, which I will input in the code.I am thinking something like this:
I have a flash game that asks the user to enter his username & password then he can start playing the game. After that the score gets saved to MySQL next to his username & password. The final step is to display his scores in the flash game. Everything works fine except for the last step which is calling back the scores from MySQL to the flash game.
I call the scores from MySQL using PHP file which sends the data to flash through XML. I can call the data from MySQL & display it in flash BUT I should enter a specific user name manually in the PHP file. The problem is that I can't make the flash game display the scores of the logged in user. for example: User A signs-in, plays the game, his/her score gets saved & then the problem occurs calling back his/her scores to the flash. In order to display User A scores in the Flash , I should replace the $username variable in the PHP file with "User A" so the scores can be displayed in the Flash file.
I've seen two answers: Adobe Flash Detection Kit - Javascript detect flash version JavaScript routines only:[URL] Simple questions: are the detection algorithms, described above, identical and if not - which way is better? Will they work the same for desktop and mobile browsers (both iPhone/iPad and Android)?
I'm totally at a loss as to how to detect if my instance of FLVPlayback component has been handed a source that either doesn't exist or it can't play for one reason or another.
There are 3 flv movie in my flash page. Is there a way to indicate in my flash page if the flv movie is already viewed on user's browser? I need to put a mark on the movie if one of them is already viewed? Am I to use Shared Object?
I am trying to use hitTestPoint to test whether the x/y coordinates of many circles are colliding with the pixels of another movie clip, but it is not working. It works fine when the ShapeFlag is set to FALSE, (circle detects the boundary box), but not when ShapeFlag is set to TRUE.I have spent hours trying to figure out what could be the issue, but to no avail.Class Ball - called by MAIN program multiple times to create instances of Ball and bounce them around the screen. If Ball collides with DQ (another MovieClip on stage), then it should stop moving:[code]
I'm working on an interactive animation for a university assignment. Here in this scene the user is able to turn a safe dial left and right either using on screen buttons or keyboard keys. The trouble I'm having is trying to write an IF statement to detect the angle of the safe dial so when the dial == an angle of rotation the scene goes on to play the next frame of the animation.
I have a slight problem when publishing to Flash Player 7 but works perfectly in Flash Player 6, below is the code:[code]In short this creates a list where the values are kept in SharedObject.I need to use a WebService so I require Flash Player 7, as I said this works as expected in Flash Player 6, so maybe someone may know a pitfall or two when migrating code form 6 to 7?
I am trying to put together a simple game and have been doing really well until I decided I am going to have to create a new class to handle enemies.What I have so far is a player walking around on random terrains and I am up to the point where I have placed x amount of enemies on stage at appropriate times. I have written their class which will hopefully eventually handle their behavior and it outputs simple trace("BOO!").
Where I face the problem is that I obviously would like to make these enemies follow the player to attack. But when I try to access the .x or .y attributes of the player, it throws an error: 'call to a possibly undefined property with static type Class'?I have tried accessing the .x using the following ways (where badger is my player instance and Main is my class definition within the properties of the FLA):
Main.badger.x Main(root).badger.x Stage.badger.x
I have also tried to access other vars and still nope..My class code is this:
