I need to be able to indentify if my swf external app is Flash Player or HTML document. My script is something like this:
if (running on html)
link = "photo1.jpg?n="+rnd; // no cache
else
link = "photo1.jpg";
Does anyone know how to get the width and height in ActionScript for a Flex application running inside the flash player in the web browser.
e.g. In the web browser I can use the tag to embed a Flex application (as a .swf). To the embed tag, I can provide the dimensions. I would like to get these dimensions inside the flex application action script.
I have got a page which lets me control some devices in a local network. However, some of the advanced settings can be set only using an .exe file which is located on the computer where I run the configuration page. I would like to have all the configurational tools "in one place" so it would be nice to have a kind of link/block/button/flash animation/whatever which - after being clicked by the user - would run a specified .exe file. I think that it is possible somehow, because I've seen MMO games which are launched using a webpage. I also suspect that html/javascript will not let me to do something like that, so maybe the answer is Flash?
View 6 RepliesI'm having a problem where a Flash project hangs when I run it in my browser, but not when I run it locally. That made me wonder if there's some program or service that enables AS3 developers to see AS3 errors encountered by their users - errors that cause the Flash file to crash, for example. I'm talking about what you'd normally see in the console in Flash Professional; can this be written to a file or displayed to the developer in some way?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to get my swf to show the url of an attempted file loading operation when it fails (IOError). For some reason (security?) it works fine in the flash debug environment, but it doesn't in the browser.
In flash it shows:
Code:
[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2035: URL Not Found. URL: file:///MacBook%20HD/Users/Iveshortenedthis/main.swf"]

View 4 RepliesIn 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?

So I want to check if app is on, how to do such thing?
I am developing a test as part of an e-learning module. The test has a timer on it, basically to dissuade users from looking up the answers online while doing the test.
I just realised however, that the framerate and timer are choked when a browser tab is invisible. In other words, when the user opens a new tab, the timer freezes! How can I get around this? The final product will run on an LMS, so going full-screen is not an option.
Flex Builder doesnt show any errors in my code, until i compile.the browser dies after the swf is running a few seconds.

I tried setting the browser as active windows and using SendKeys but it does not work. Is there an alternative ?
View 1 RepliesThis may sound like a strange request, but I need to be able to determine:
1. What browser domain the current swf is executing in (that is, the page that hosts the swf is displayed in a browser, what is the domain of the page)?
2. What server domain the SWF was loaded from (ie, what the URL domain was for the SWF)?
I believe both of these I can get via javascript and ugly workarounds and pass them in, but what I need is actually to get these values (at least #2) from inside the SWF without relying on the javascript in the hosting page.
Specifically, what I'm trying to determine is if the SWF is executing in a page from the same domain as it itself was hosted/loaded from. I want to fork on this test and create different behavior for a SWF if it's "hot-linked" (that is, loaded onto a page on a different domain from where I host it).
I've looked into flash.system.SecurityDomain and ApplicationDomain... both these have properties called 'currentDomain' which would seem to be the value i'm looking for (for #2), however this object is a static variable that I can't seem to get any information out of or transform into any kind of useful string that I can look at it's value and test with it.The only info I've found on either of those two classes all relates to passing them to LoaderContext and such, when you are loading external resources.I do not want to load anything, I just want to determine how and where the SWF is executing.

View 3 Repliesit seems that Flash was supposed to run in a sandbox in the browser. But, if Flash can get data from a remote server, can it similarly get data from localhost IP on the same machine? In other words, can I use a Windows app that provides a TCP socket on localhost to feed data into a Flash app?the answer is yes at least for the case of an SWF file hosted in the file system, URL...(turns out the localhost access error can be fixed if you add the SWF app to some security whitelist). Still wondering if this can also be done for SWF apps hosted on the network.
View 1 RepliesI read that using Flash Builder 4.5.1 you can create one application and run it on a mobile device, in Internet browser and in Desktop AIR. However, I created a mobile application and the only option to run it is 'Run as mobile application'. Is it really possible to run the same Flex application in browser and on mobile?

View 6 RepliesI have a Flash website that moves from page to page by jumping to various frames in the timeline. Clicking on a button causes a jump to a specific frame. It is necessary to have stops in several frames. I'm trying to run an mp3 player in the background. The player is running on it's own layer. It works when I launch the page and when I go from page to page until I hit a frame with a stop at which point, the player stops. How can I prevent this?

View 2 RepliesI've created a Flash file that reads from several different xml files and displays them when requested. When I run the Flash player, (by pressing Command-Space within Flash), it all works flawlessly. But when I open it within a browser, only one of the xml files loads, the other two just spin away on the preloader.I have another Flash file that is doing the same thing. A click on a scrolling new list should take you to another web page. In Flash Player it works fine, but from a Browser nothing happens
View 3 RepliesSo I recently got a new laptop. It came installed with Windows 7 64-bit and Internet Explorer 8. However, after installing the current Flash Player update, IE started freezing. I would open certain pages, and the browser would become unresponsive, leading me to end the program. I would try it again, and still the same result. The culprits were always the same, hotmail and tvshowsondvd, among others. Internet Explorer 9 was released a few days later, so I uninstalled IE8 and installed IE9.
The browser worked fine for a few days, but then it started to do it all over again, with the same web pages! Then I noticed something, all these pages were heavy in flash objects. So I tried uninstalling Flash Player 10 and guess what, it started working! No more problems loading pages. I can no longer view flash objects, especially on YouTube. I haven't had the problem since, but I need Flash Player installed.
which way to go to produce a swf that would function like a video player but with pictures?I would like to be able to load images and then use its sliders to 1) browse through images sequentially (similar to browsing through individual video frames on a timeline) and 2) beable to zoom without losing the ability to drag the picture in the view pane (ScrollPane doesn't work as when I change the size of its contents through myscrollpane.content.width, I can't drag it).

For some reason, I can get this file to play in the web browser, but I can not get it to play in my flash player.
File:
http:[url]......
The file is a file that uses cURL, to load the song from the saved url. I am thinking that it is a cURL thing, because when displayed in my google browser, the load bar doesn't load on my page, but on the link below it does display.I use other songs in the same flash player by just linking to a different id number and those songs play fine in the player. Why does this song do this, and others don't?

If i add a pre loader component it fails to run...but again perfect even across a network if i run it in flash player
