ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling Flash Application With Javascript For Batch Processing?
Oct 8, 2010
I'm working on a cartoon series in the uk and we use flash, 3d and after effects. I'm building a little pipeline tool to help us compositors do your job (there's hundreds if not thousands of files to be comped for a great number of shows)anyhow, we use flash for the 2d animation and we need to extract pngs. Right now it's a process I can't streamline (ie compers still have to have flash opened to choose which layers to export manually) but I'd like to be able to open flash and launch a specific javascript file ('command')

I'm working on an interactive company, and for each campaign we create dozens of loaders. A loader is a simple flash file contains the following elements:* few lines of code for eRate (counting how many clicks have been done on a banner)* a loader for the source banner from "http://....host.../..../" + w,h + ".swf"* a button that tells what happens when a banner is clicked (different portals as us for different scripts)Is there a way to automate the process of making such files? it takes a 1 minute to make 1 swf, but the amount of loaders make the work a bit longer.I'd like to see an application that asks for a list for sizes + eRate code for each one and the URL for the source banners.

I have been asking a fair number of questions here recently and have been very pleased with the responses, so here is one more for you. Hopefully I can get another solution. :]
I have a flash project acting like a menu and being published as an .exe (projector). In this file, I have a button with the following code:button1.onRelease=function(){fscommand("exec", "openfiles.bat");}
I have an fscommand folder (in the same directory as my flash file) which contains the openfiles.bat, with one line: start myfile.txt
myfile.txt is also located in the fscommand folder. When I simply click on this batch file and run it, the text file opens as it should. However, when I click the button in my flash file, a command prompt window flashes too quickly to see with some sort of error message. It says something about not finding a certain directory and defaulting to the windows directory. I'm assuming it cannot find either my batch file or my text file. I am under the impression that as long as everything is in the fscommand folder it should work properly.

Flash Player 10.2.153.1and Flash Player 10.2.159.1 are crashing my standalone application. Later with version 10.1 the application run ok, never crashes but was taking more than 90% CPU. The new Flash Player solve the problem of resources, and drop down CPU to 30%, but the application crashes always after a while, unespectly, or if I open the window of other application.
In the other hand when I disable the harware acceleration at the swf settings, the application goes crazy and start to make rapid flashes, and frame rate goes down to 8. [URL]. Right click on the Flash logo, Settings,then UNcheck the hardware acceleration in Display Settings.)
I'm on a Mac Mini Core 2 Duo with Mac OS X 10.6.7 (the last Snow Leopard these days). The graphical card is Nvidia GeForce 9400M.
I did test the application at a Mac Book Pro core i5, Mac OS X 10.6.7, graphica card Nvidia GeForce GT 330M and the application is more stable but finally crashes too.
Finally if I export my application with GPU Hardware acceleration at Publish Settings, my application crashes almost inmediatly after I open it in each of the computers.
My guess is that the new Flash Version is using my graphical proccesor in a corrupted way.

I get a working application in Flash made that lets the user click to create blocks which subsequently gravitate towards the mouse. I made the exact same thing in Processing too, just to compare speeds.However, when I run the Flash version and add around 15-20 blocks, the framerate drops to 5-10 FPS.In the Processing version I can add ~60 with no noticeable slowdown. What's the deal, Flash?
Links to each version's source:
Flash version
Processing version
Here is the source for each in case you are a wizard and can help just by glowering at the code sternly and telling it to behave:
Flash version:
blocks.fla
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

My friend has a Flash script that draws Pacman on top of his homepage. The bug is that the flash animation doesn't let him click on his page.I'm trying to convince him to use Processing.js instead, but I'm not sure whether even Processing can blot on arbitrary parts of a webpage (e.g. by using a canvas the same size as the page but letting clicks through).Processing-specific issue: Filling the canvas (e.g. background(white);) obscures any HTML elements that might have displayed under the canvas.

I'm trying to call a function declared with ExternalInterface in a Flash swf, using JavaScript.It worked once, but all of a sudden, it stopped working.I have a debug version of the Flash Player, but no errors occur in Flash.Not even a "Security Sandbox Error" or something. The only error I get is the following error in JavaScript Error: Error in Actionscript. Use a try/catch block to find error.I'm using AS3, exporting for Flash Player 10 and testing on Firefox 3/Safari 4, on a Mac.

I got two AS3 functions. One that toggles fullscreen and one that is called with javascript with ExternalInterface that only logs "Hello World". Both works well in the browser, but if I try to call the fullscreen function with javascript the same way, i get an error like this: Error calling method on NPObject! I googled that problem but that only had something to do with same domain access, and sinced it worked with the other function, it has to be something else.

we are currently working with a tv site (flash) in which we have included 3 buttons , mini , standard and fullscreen.Mini will resize the browser window into a smaller size , while standard will resize it to the maximum available width and height.The fullscreen will play the video in fullscreen which is a new flash 9 feature.
The mini and standard buttons actually invokes a javascript function which resides in the flash container html page.The javascript code contains the satement window.Resizeto .The problem we are facing is that the functionality seems to behave inconsistently in IE.In IE 6 ,all the 3 buttons works perfectly.But once we touch the scrollbar , then the mini and standard wont work , it shows a javascript "access denied error".This error does not appear when the wmode in flash object tag is made transparent.But if wmode is made transparent , fullscreen wont work.This is given in adobes website.There is no problem in mozilla firefox .In IE7 we have the same problem as in IE6, apart from this mini and standard does not work at ALL when multiple tabs are open.I would like to know if thr is any way we could overide the javascript error and why does the error not appear when wmode is made is transparent ?

I'm trying to call a javascript function from within my swf and I'm having a couple of problems which are confussing me somewhat. I'm using this to call the function from flash:
ExternalInterface.call("pgcover"); I know that this is calling the function as I have set it trigger an alert action and this comes up properly. But I don't want the function to trigger an alert, this is just for testing purposes. I instead want it to change the styling on a div. I have set up a test page where I have asigned the function to a button and this works, the div display changes from block to none. When I get the swf to call the function setup to do the same thing, nothing happens.

I have what I think is an easy question but I am having problems with it... Using AS2 / CS3, I am calling a javascript function from Flash, but i would like the value to be a variable and I cant figure out how to do it. the started code is below and I need direction on how to make "myVar" actually a variable.
var myVar = newValue_txt.text;
btnOne.onRelease = function() { getURL("javascript:testFunction('myVar') ");
}
this is a stripped down version of what i am trying to do, but i think it gets the main point across.

I am trying to call a custom method of an embedded flash like so:
var flash =
navigation_get_flash_movie_object('main');
if (flash) {
flash.continentOut(id); }
Which works great in Chrome ans Safari, but fails utterly in IE7 & IE8. The browsers throws an error that the object doesn't have such a method.
I am using the example from [URL], and now that I've tested it, it also fails at it's testing page as well [URL]

I'm trying to make it so a button I use in a swf talks to the swf's container and says...
fscommand ("javascript:changeMap('hodson.htm');")
so that in turn
function changeMap(building) {
document.getElementById('buildingINFO').src=buildi ng;
}
But that doesn't work. I also tried getURL in front of the AS instead of fscommand. basically it's an interactive map where I should be able to click a building and have information appear within a div tag to the right side.

I've got a flash file that reads some links from an xml config file. These links look like:
<url target="_blank" method="GET"><![CDATA[http://www.google.com]]></url>
Instead of a link, I'd like to call a javascript method that opens up a modal dialog with a list of items. I've tried the following based on some things I found, but I can't get it to work.
<url target="_self" method="GET"><![CDATA[javascript:loadAsModal(#modaldiv, ajaxmenu.jsp?gid=3)]]></url>
and
<url target="_self" method="GET"><script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[loadAsModal(#modaldiv, ajaxmenu.jsp?gid=3)]]></script></url>
loadAsModal() takes in an empty div that i put on the page, and then the menu.jsp which builds the menu given the group id. I made sure to import all of my js libraries on the page.

I have a simple flash socket that I use to connect to IRC servers. It has an open, close, and send method made available to JS through ExternalInterface, for opening connections, closing connections, and sending messages respectively. The socket calls IRC.io.receive in JS whenever it gets a message, which is parsed by JS into something useful.Unfortunately, whenever any of the flash methods are called from JS, they return a "__ is not a function" error.Here's the (watered down) AS, where IRC is the document class:
public class IRC extends MovieClip {
public static function open(url:String, port:int) {/* code */}
public static function close(port:int) {/* code */}
public static function send(port:int, message:String) {/* code */}
[code]....
Any call to any of the functions registered with ExternalInterface throws a "function does not exist" exception.
