ActionScript 2.0 :: Preventing Browsers To Play New Ver. SWF's In Old Players
Apr 23, 2008
Several times I was exposed to a problem where my content (made in Flash 8) was displayed wrong on some computers with older Flash players. Some objects are missing, etc.
How can I prevent browsers to play my content, unless a user has an up-to-date-version of Flash Player? It can either refuse to play it and say "press here to download newest Flash Player" or it can install the newest Flash Player automaticly (if it is possible).
I am working on a project where i need to support multiple players and platforms to play videos. Major Platforms will be: Windows PC,Mac PC,Apple Devices and Android. This is the precedence i will be following. First it will check browser support for Silverlight 3 or later then Flash then HTML5. If not any one of them is supported user will be asked to installed Silverlight. I wanted to know which pattern and strategy i should use in order to support this functionality. Currently i have investigated about some javascript api that can do this detection on client side easily and load the player appropriately.. but as many of browser could be without javascript support so this method will fails to play videos. Is there any way I can do this detection on server side and inject proper Player HTML on client end?
I am working with the open source flash player at [URL].. and I am trying to figure out how to limit one sound file at a time. I know this has been done on a number of sites but I am unsure how to approach it.
Scenario: A page has five different instances of the flash player. The user is litening to one song but clicks on another to listen to it.Goal: The first audio file automatically stops while the second starts playing instead of both playing at the same time.
Do I need to have some sort of javascript handler than interacts with the swf or something?
I am currently working for a highscore system for my games website. and i have written the code for that. it only displays 1- players. i want to display overall top players when i click on top players url and want to display the monthly top 10 players when i click on monthly top players url.How to do this. i am trying since 2 days. i am struck at this point. kindly do look into this. the code as follows. For reference kindly look inot this. i need like this.[URL]
I'm starting a blog with a hosted wordpress instance and i would like to be able to stream music using a flash player on some posts.The problem is that every player i find uses a simple param to get the file url which makes it very easy for someone to find that url and just download the file.I know that it's probably impossible to prevent this all together, but i at least don't want it to be obvious.
I am currently building a custom jPlayer instance for a streaming media file. Having modified a supplied demo, I am able to get the player working in all major browsers except IE.
I have checked the swf path many times, which is loading without fault. I think I am unable to get the trigger to load the file in IE, resulting in "Attempt to issue media playback commands, while no mediaurl is set. Use mediaurl() to set. Context play()".
I am using an event trigger CSC class to play the media "track" in my source code (not mediaurl directly).
Below I will demo the current code, however I feel it would be more beneficial if someone could construct some pseudo code for me outlining the exact requirements to get this to work, and also an explanation of the GUI button CSS handles, so that I can get these working properly too (I may need to modify the JS, which is currently the standard).
I am using IE8 32 w/ Flash 8 and jPlayer 2.1.0
I only need the following functions:
Play button (jp_play?) - this should trigger the stream and then enable multiple other classes (jp_volume, jp_playline, jp_stop etc)
Stop button (to replace play button) - should stop (not pause) the stream and disable previously enabled classes.
If it helps jp_pause gives me all the required functionality with regard to hiding elements, except the mediaurl is paused, I need it stopping.
Current code snippets:
// Instance jPlayer my_jPlayer.jPlayer({ ready: function () {
What happens is, the play and stop button works fine when running on the Flash Player. However, when I used IE to open the swf file, the movie and everything appears and working, just that the play and stop button won't work in IE or other browsers.
We have a requirement to create a video demo of certain products. What is the best way to make sure that the video plays on as many browsers as possible on all popular platforms (on Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS devices)? Current implementation: we just have Flash videos that load in a Flash player.
i started with a Multiple mp3 players project and i more complicated with that - as you see in the picture i try to do that when click on the play button for every song this switch the song that selected -first preloading + percentage the mp3 file and after play it immediately and of course there is stop button, pause button when choose a song the previously that play will be muted
I inherited a flash website about a year ago.. not sure what version it was originally done in. I've made changes on the model last year using CS3 Flash Action script 2, but don't remember the flash version when published. The audio in question is the music that plays in the background when you get on the website:
[URL]
When I changed the image of the model this last week using CS4, I published it as Flash8 actionscript 2... now, the music plays on Mac Safari and Mac Firefox, but not on the Windows versions of IE or Firefox..
this is the code called sound control
onClipEvent(load) { _root.soundstatus="on"; _root.mySound = new Sound(_level0);
[Code]....
then there's the stop() that's used when the music is toggled off..
I've tried updating the flash player in Windows to the latest release, and I even tried republishing as flash 10, just not sure where to troubleshoot this..
I've been looking for a good Flash mp3 player to put on my site, but I need to be able to customize to match the page.Does anyone know of a good one that can, for example, have it graphics changed in the .fla?
I am currently working on a project that i need to have multiple flv players all displaying the same video simultaneously. I noticed that this causes a delay on the webpage when loading and the video doesnt start simultaneously for each player, so i guess the same video is loaded over and over again. Is there a workaround to that so i can load the video once and play it on the 3 players simultaneously??
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();nc.connect(null); var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc); var ns2:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);var ns3:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
my fla video files are in the vod folder and to be shown through http they are streaming through the videoPlayer.swf file (that came with the server), right?If that's how it works, and this is the file that is the player that comes with fms, then there are a couple of things that are not that good: you can't click anywhere on the timeline, have to drag the moving timeline pointer, and the same about the volume.Where can I get another player(s) that will be more like the ones that the flash streaming sites use (youtube, google movies, etc.)
Does anyone know for certain whether any version of the Flash player is contained within MS Vista/IE7? I have read conflicting opinions but I cannot find any specific reference to Vista/IE7 actually containing the Flash player.
MS WinXP has the Flash 6 player bundled by default, so I was hoping that MS would do the same with Vista/IE7, just a newer version.
I have a stick figure fighting game I'm currently working on. I've animated the moves and the walking, ect. But now I wanna make it so the players can only stand on one mc, GameArea.I tried the script that came with part of the tutorial, but nothing happen:[code]If this way isn't a possible, then I'd just like to limit the players on how high/low they can move.
I am building a site Within the portfolio section I have an MP3 player for streaming MP3s. what I really need is to be able to create a preloader for the mp3 player, but i just cant work out how to code it.In flash, it is set up like this...On the timeline, the actions for the MP3 player are on the first frame:
The problem with this is, when flash receives rankings such as time, they are seperated by newlines () which makes them strings instead of integers as they rightly should be.
I'm using a time to string function to convert the time as integer (getTimer()) to a format HH:MM:SS It's fine ranking the times in the getTimer format but it all becomes a mess when trying to display the string format instead. (Considering times for all players are linked in the same string passed by PHP as time
time time time (000000
[code]...
The reason they are split with newlines is because the rankings are displayed in a single dynamic text.I tried converting each time in flash using the int function, but what would you do for newlines? The time rankings just comes out as '0' because of the newlines.I've also tried using this following function to remove the newlines and then possibly put each time into an array.
What would I check for in order to get each time into an array?Though I'd much prefer using a much more efficient and easy method for display high scores.
I'd like to use the same music player displayed multiple times on the same page, one for each song. But when songs are played, I want the existing play to stop. For example:
song1 song2 song3
I click to play song1, while it's playing, I decide to play song3 instead. Based on the default setup, song3 will start playing while song1 continues to play. I'd like song1 to stop when song3 starts.
I'm interested in why flash audio players need <param> parameters, when without them and only with <object> they work nicely.I have also read many posts here about audio flash players, but I can not find any good one.
Maybe I'm not understanding how typekit works. But will I be able to use typekit fonts for the closed caption text within my flash movie player? The closed caption text is not html content....it's served by an xml file and then rendered by flash actionscript.

I've been creating a site using as3 in flash CS4, however my client has a large customer base that inludes people in large companies that dont have the latest flash drivers installed on their computers and dont have the admistrative privalidges to update the drivers themselves. After testing with a select few customers my client has foud that 50% of their clients are not able to view the site prototype. I have therefore attempted to publish the site setting the Flash player to 9 rather than 10, however when I test the site all the animated elements are frozen! If anyone has an idea how to resolve these issues I'm all ears
I'm having a bit of a problem here. My audio is still playing when my swf is removed. I tried using unloadAndStop(); but this isn't working for me (either that or I'm not putting it in the correct spot. The code I have is from a template I downloaded, I didn't actually write all this. with this:
I have a xml list here. I want to filter out the players by the active tag. All players where the active tag reads "No" I want to delete so that the list only has players with the acrive tag reading "yes"
I can program the movement of a character, I can make excellent graphics being a graphics designer for a year, but I have encountered an embarrassing problem. Its a simple one too. I simply need a user to be able to enter the name they want for their character, click a button and make the name appear in a dynamic text box. The variable name of the dynamic text box is "name" and the variable of the input box is "entername".
I need to implement a realtime connection between 2 or more players, that will play a Flash game. I've read that RTMFP is a good choice to make this connection the best possible (were best=less lag between actions), but, I am quite new to this kind of things, what documentation/tutorial/guide you think would be the best to get started and finally make a good implementation of RTMFP?
(Also, I read that there are differents servers or frameworks that provide the same, like Cirrus, Red5, etc, what pros and contras have this?, taking cost into account). I was reading the adobe documentation, there is an example too, but I'd love to see some more flash game based example, even a very basic one, so I can extend that functionality and start making tests. I got it working, now, I need to know how to make a webservice for the peer ID interconnection.
I have read about the Progressive downloads which is supported in flash for playing the media files. This ia an advantageous since this eliminates the need for a streaming server. Is there any open source players to play the FLVs directly from the HTTP server.
I'm having problems with my flash game, i am making slimeball and im using the hitTest to make my ball bounce off of the players, but because my players are semi circular when it hits off the back of my player the ball still goes forward when it should bounce off the player in the direction that it came from, if that makes sense
