I'm working on a website based on flash. The first time you visit the site there will be asked to fill in your name (for example: George) and then you continue to the next 'page' in the flash. The next time you visit the site, i want that the site automaticly forwards to the last page, and there is a text 'hi, *name*' (hi, George)
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to use Actionscript to speed up (or slow down) a video playing? Say, having it play at twice the normal speed? If possible, can you also make it that the sound does not get all squeaky? Some Videoplayers can do that, I was wondering if it is possible to do in Flash.

Is there an already made flash based player that supports fast-forwarding & rewinding of a video file? Does it handle everything or some server-side cooperation is required?
View 1 RepliesI know that there is a possibility to open a video file either using a flash player or html5 in a browser, but is there a possibility to open it at the certain place (lets say 60 seconds from the beginning) or automatically fast forward it after opening?
View 1 RepliesI need to separate the visual part of a component from the functional part of a component, so that I'm able to replace the visual one with a new one for another platform.
Declaring an instance variable _delegate with the delegate's interface isn't a problem. But how Do I forward non-implemented method calls of the visual part to those of the delegate.
What's the equivalent of PHP's _call()?
I am trying to write a function that calculates the estimated time remaining for the movie to load. I have a function written that gets that information and I run it again with a setTimeout for 1 second then take the difference... blah blah blah. My issue gets me before i can get that calculating goodness off the ground. The first time i run the function without the setTimeout it works correctly. When i use the setTimeout, it returns the boolean value "1" signifying that it ran and didn't fail. Somewhere in there it loses the value returned by the called function. Any thoughts? I'm sure this may not be the most efficient method for doing what I want, but it bugs me nonetheless why this isn't working.Here's my code:
Code:
function getDeltaBytesLoaded(target_mc) {
var sample1:Number = new Number();[code]......
I have a question that I cant quite start.I have a web site that record some cookies: name, age, sex, etc.
I would like to know if it is possible to create a flash banner that display this information, like: hello [name], how are you doing today?

Is that a way to create a flash that can read cookie's values and show then?

View 1 RepliesWe have a flash video that was created for our project, we dont the source so we have to work around the compiled flash file. We are going to host the video on our domain and the video creates a sol cookie (flash cookie) file to store how far the user has proceeded though the video. So my plan is to access this cookie to see how far the user has progressed and then fire an event when they have finished the movie.
I have been googling for some help but haven't found to much. I have found out that its possible to do in javascript and I have found some .net sol file viewers but haven't seen any examples I can get my mind around.
I have watched the traffic that gets created with fiddler and every time the next button is clicked a new request is fired with the swt file that is being accessed. I would also be happy with tracking every time one of these swt files has been accessed as well.
I'm hoping to get pointed in the right direction here. The problem I'm having is trying to figure out how to read an HTML created cookie in Flash. I have a video player that should autoplay once in a 24hour period, the next day it should autoplay again for the end-user.This is what the script on the HTML page looks like that displays the Flash player and the cookie:[code]I did some searching and found this Have a HTML page play Flash movie only once (not when revisited...) but again this is just a Flash function which never allows for a restart in a certain time period.how do I read that var x(cookie) in Flash?

I use an application which uses flash cookie to store some important information. This information is critical and should not be deleted. But I have observed that the flash cookie or the shared local object is getting deleted under the following situations. When the local history(including cookies) are deleted by the browser. When flash is upgraded in the system.
This is adversely affecting my application. Please let me know, if there is a way to forcefully retain the 'shared local object' by placing some kind of lock on it. It will be better if this can done programmatically.
I am trying to pass a cookie with multiple name/value pairs into flash and I would like to know if someone know how I can do this. I know that I need to pass the vars from the cookie to my Flash Params but I am not sure how I would do that, given that this is a multiple array cookie.

View 1 RepliesI've got a page that has a flash banner on it with a small animation. In fact, I've got four versions of this banner, and I'd like to be able to load a different version each time someone visits the site. Can someone please help this rank amateur devise a script that will allow me to do this? It has four different .swf files, and I need to load them such that the same person doesn't see the same .swf file on consecutive visits. Normally, I'd do this with cookies, but I just don't see how to get it done with Flash CS5 and/or Actionscript 3.
View 3 RepliesI have a very simple php script that I'm using to check and set a cookie. I'm running this script from a Flash file, but it's not working properly. If I enter the direct URL to the php file in my browser, it works perfectly. However, if I access it through Flash it doesn't seem to recognise that the cookie has been set.
Here is my php code:
<?
$expiry = date("U", mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d") + 1, date("y")));

Is it possible to read first party cookies from flash?It should be noted that we have complete access to javascript via the ExternalInterface class.So, now the question is - can we access first party cookie from javascript? Our javascript code will be loaded by a website which is not hosted by us. This makes the cookies created by that website - first party cookies. How can we access these "first" party cookies?
View 1 RepliesI want to create a flash swf file that will store a token in Local Shared Object. What do I need to do to read that token and look it up in the database on the back end? Is this possible at all?
here is a possible scenario:
User visits my web page A token is generated on the server and stored in the database Token is then saved in LSO User leaves the site (maybe shuts down his computer) and comes back later Token is read, located in the database and the user is recognized (lets say that token is a foreign key that links to other user data stored in the db)
I researched this for quite a while and all I find is that flash can use LSO to store read data for flash movie... Does this mean that the data can not be accessed by the server?
A couple questions about Macromedia Projector for flash 8 (this is going to be a windows .exe file or contained in a shell). I am creating a Flash intro outlining new features for software solution. The intro will launch and then will launch the full software. Client wants two buttons in the .exe. 1 to enable the user to "skip" the movie which will then launch the client's software. The other button will say "do not show this intro again". Kind of like when you open Flash for the first time and it shows the "tutorial and what's new" window. The in-house developer was saying something about the Windows registry, and outputting a "cookie-like" file when the user clicks "do not show this again" so that the file will not run when the software is executed again.

View 4 RepliesI am trying to create a login system where a user would be able to login inside of one flash game on say, [URL], and then that same login data would be preserved for all the games on [URL] and also the games on [URL] and [URL] I am new to shared objects in flash so if anybody knows of a way to do this in either php, as3, html, js (or a mixture of all) then that would be great.
(PS. I would prefer not to use a method that requires a javascript bridge to retrieve cookies as this is impossible for games that are played on game-portal sites where only a swf file is used)
My swf will potentially live on sites with embed codes that do not allow script access to the movie. I need to pull a cookie from response which is typically simple using javascript, but as the swf does not have access to script, javascript is not an option. Can I access cookies or the cookie header in the response? If that is not possible is there any access to the raw response, headers and all?

View 2 RepliesInside a flex app, I have a user login. The login calls a ColdFusion function as a remote object which authenticates the user and, if applicable, returns their id and access level. This works fine, but now I'm at the point where I want to also create a cookie for another ColdFusion template (called from fileReference.upload()) to be able to access later. I have tried several different methods for creating the cookie -- cfcookie, creating a cookie with JavaScript inside the ColdFusion function, and creating the cookie with JavaScript with an external interface once the coldfusion function returns to the flex result handler. All of these have been tried with a plethora of options regarding expiration, path, and domain tags.
