I have two large doors slamming shut and would like to execute the browser shake javascript function hardcoded into the html page for about 0.1 - 0.2 seconds.. just enough to shake the window when the doors slam shut.
How do I call the shake() function that is on the same html document as the swf object? Not from a button press, but from an event (ie certain keyframe reached).
For my current project I am working on a home page that has a series of tabs above a content box that each execute an ajax script to load new content into the content box. However, some of these pages contain a flash object called with SWFObject and when the ajax script calls the page, the SWFObject javascript is not executed and I am left with the no flash support error message.
I have tried defining a function for each video call (short of just designing a single function and passing variables to it) and having the function be called as part of the ajax function but I am left with the same results. I am not opposed to using something other than SWFObject though I have been lead to believe it is the best solution currently.
I'm attempting to bring a swf file down to Firefox to cache but not actually execute. The swf comes from a different domain.
The following approach works in Chrome but not Firefox:
new Image().src = "www.other.com/foo.swf";
Firefox uses a separate cache for images.
This approach works in IE, but not Firefox:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" data="www.other.com/foo.swf" declare="1"></object>
The "declare" tells the browser to cache but not execute it. However, Firefox complains that the request is cross-domain.
I have a web application that has javscript interspersed through the page. What happens is that safari will dump the source of the javascript code instead of executing it. I can reproduce this consistently. The page is a mashup of different forms of content: It loads flash videos using osflv and is generated via a php script on the server side. In addition the page also contains calls to Google Map's API to display a map. The content is placed in separate tabs using javascript to provide tab interaction. I am also using mootools, and not sure if that is potentially causing issues.
Here are the javascript includes:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/mootools-1.2.1-core.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/mootools-1.2-more.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script>

I want to add scripting functionality to my Adobe Flex application. I know it's possible to use the Browser control, and add the script packaged as a HTML file to the Browser control, and expose Flex objects. However I'd like to if it is possible to execute JavaScript without using the Browser control.UPDATE: I guess my question hasn't been clear enough. I'll explain what I'm trying to do.I want to make my application customizable using JavaScript ie., add scripting/plugins to my application dynamically.I realize that it's possible to dynamically execute Javascript by inserting the JS code into the HTMLLoader control. I would like to know there is a direct way to execute JavaScript without inserting it into the HTMLLoader control.

How do I replace it with a Quicktime movie?
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...
View 3 RepliesI want to display a Flash video in a popup window, and when the video has finished playing, close the window using a javascript function "closeIt":
<script>
function closeIt() {
alert("About to close...");
[code]....
How can I achieve this? I have imported a video into Flash (choosing "load external video with playback component"). This is in frame1. I thought that in the second frame I could make a call to ExternalInterface.call("closeIt") in the Actions window. I have tried this, but when I publish and view the flash movie in a web brower, I never see the javascript alert.
I am setting up a Flash based MP3 player control (The standalone version of WordPress Standalone Player). I have a situation of multiple windows with players open. One window opens the other, so I have the window.opener property available. When the child window is opened, I want to programmatically mute the audio player in the parent window.
This works in Firefox, but not in IE 7 and 8. I know little about Flash/Javascript interaction and I'm stuck. I am not getting any error messages. To do this, the player SWF object has a setVolume() and close() function. These functions are not defined anywhere in Javascript so I guess that those are provided by the Flash object. This is supported by the following lines I found in the Flash source code of the player:

I have a JavaScript function that loads a flash movie into a webpage div using swfobject.embedSWF(). I want to be able to, alternatively, load a .mov file into the same div, in the event that this is the file found instead of the .swf. Is there a close equivalent to swfobject.embedSWF for the purposes of embedding a .mov file? If not, what is an efficient route to doing this using JavaScript?
View 1 RepliesWe have a site that comprises mainly of an embeded flash object containing navigation controls. All I want is to insert a small .swf movie that will play like an intro scene to the website before the main .swf loads for the site itself. All this means is I want to call up 1 flash object, play it through and then replace it with another once finished. This seems to be a relatively simple desire but after a couple of hours worth of forum-trawling.
View 3 RepliesHow can I control a flash movie in a window from a child (pop-up) window invoked via ExternalInterface's call method?
The name of the movie is myMovie. Using javascript in the popup, I try to access a function in the movie using document['myMovie'].flashFunction(). However, since the javascript is in the popup window and the flash is in another, the browser complains that the function is undefined.
This would have worked if the javascript and the movie were in the same window.
I use Firefox.
On my page, I'm going to embed multiple Flash files that use ExternalInterface to communicate back to the page. When the page receives the ExternalInterface calls, is there any built-in way to determine which swf the call came from?
I don't mind giving each movie a guid FlashVar and attaching that to each ExternalInterface call, but I don't want to duplicate more tested functionality.

View 2 RepliesI am developing an animated homepage for a Flash-HTML hybrid website, and for the sake of standards, my solution is proving difficult.
Here is the run-down:
For Flash users, HTML page loads a variable-height AS3 Flash movie that will start at 556 pixels high, and after finishing its animation sequence, tween via Actionscript + JavaScript to 250 pixels high.
To kick off this movie sequence -- (below-left) -- I am attempting to set the initial height of the Flash movie via MooTools, so if users do not have Flash or Javascript enabled, they will see the shorter-height image area with alternative image content and HTML content revealed (below-right).
Element.setStyle sets the height just fine until swfObject runs, at which point the movie collapses since I am not specifying a height via CSS. If users do not have Flash, it defaults to the height of a static image.
So here is my question: Does anyone know how to dynamically pass a height variable to swfobject when it is set up to width/height @ 100%? Am I killing myself for no reason trying to work with two page heights?
Image Sequence: Left - Initial Flash movie with HTML navigation below Right - Resized movie at the end of the sequence with HTML nav & content below, looks the same as no-Flash version (static image)

View 2 RepliesIs there any way to execute some actionscript in a child swf from the parent without actually having the script in the child swf,or having to add a callback.I'm new to flash so i don't know what can be done,or if it's easy to do.to be more specific,i need search a array.
View 6 RepliesI've setup a very simple FLA, if you wanna see what I'm talking about:[URL]..If you fire the swf and you click the red thing (button), you will go to frame 2. If you click it again, you will go to frame 1.
Both frames contain a green mc with a "this.visible=false" action, so you shouldn't see it the first time.
Now click fast the red button. You will see the green mc from time to time.So, seems the flash movie is executing "clicks" every ENTER_FRAME (not immediately when you click the button). The sample mc I attach has a framerate of 1fps, so you can see easily the behaviour, but it's the same with 30fps.
And the same for the green mc. The "this.visible=false" line is not executing immediately when the main timeline reaches the related frame.
In the second frame, the green mc is contained inside a red mc. If you break appart this red mc, all will work as it should and you will never see the green mc (the FLA file is attached as well, so you can test).
So, my main goal is that I can never see the green mc, being it or not child of other mcs.
