ActionScript 3.0 :: Retrieving The Windows Locale (Not Flash Player Language)?
Sep 10, 2009
I have been trying to experiment with Flash's support for multilanguage documents. However, whatever locale I set in Regional and Language Options on Windows XP the swf file always assumes an "en" locale. I simplified the document down to:import flash.system.Capabilities;trace(flash.system.Capabilities.language);And this also always gives "en".I read somewhere (not in Adobe's documentation!) that Capabilities.language gives the language of the Flash player. Is this correct? If so, is there anyway of retrieving the locale that is set in Regional and Language Options?
I'm creating an XML driven language selector which places the current language's flag (depending on the user's locale which is passed through a Flash Var parameter) at the top of the list. I've got all this working so far BUT i'm having trouble with the results. I want to be able to add onRollOver and onRelease functions to the newly created movieclips but it just ain't happening! The onRollOver function would be a bit of movement for each flag and the onRelease would call getURL using the url for that language which is contained in the XML file.
Code: sideFeather.swapDepths(10000); var x = new XML();
I've recently encountered a problem whilst coding when trying to upload local files to flash. With Flash Player 10 you can use the following code to load local files into flash.

This is not available in Flash Player 9 which is causing me issues as I only have a copy of CS3. All I need to do is retrieve a local jpg from the users computer and temporarily display it in my flash application. So to clarify, uploading to the server isn't required unless this is the only way to do this with Flash Player 9?

I have a mp4 file which is to be used in an application. Currently i am in the stage of figuring out the technology to be used for this job. I am familiar with flex and am hoping that i be able to use it for the application. But i can not figure out a way to play the file in flex. I have been able to play the file only in windows media player and that required the installation of three codecs : Mp4Audio.ax, Mp4Video.ax, Mp4Src.ax.
As i see it, it will be very convenient if i could embed a windows media player plugin in flex or i could specify the audio and video codecs in the flash player
I have just created a Flex 3 project. I understand from the flex-config file that the mininum requirement for Flex Builder 3 is Flash 9 or above. I have Flash player 10 on my machine but when I launch my application in firefox. it gives the following error:
Flex Builder cannot locate the required version of Flash Player. You might need to install Flash Player 9 or reinstall Flex Builder. Do you want to try to run your application with the current version?
Just installed Windows 7 RC (7100), and got the latest Flash player for IE8 and Opera. My site [URL] has a music player I created that plays (streams) MP3s from a Flash Comm Server I run. The player works fine with Flash Player version 10.0.22.87 on other platforms, but not in Windows 7. Once you pick a song, it should start immediately. Even clicking the play button doesn't work. The symptoms make me think there's a problem establishing the netconnection for streaming. Wondering if anyone else has Windows 7 specific problems with Flash player?
For ages we have used the Flash Object in a .NET app for managing the development of eLearning. The embedding is done (I presume) in much the same way that IE embeds flash object (e.g. using a COM object which maps back to Flash10c.ocx)We are testing our application on Windows 7 RC 64-bit edition but the .NET application is unable to instantiate the Flash control, raising a "Class not Registered" error. Although the OS is 64-bit, the .NET app and Flash object are 32-bit and should work together without problems. I have confirmed that the IE browser (32-bit version) on the Windows 7 (x64) does indeed instantiate Flash files OK.

I have received a CD Rom with an .exe file on it. I only have an old Windows XP box (from 2001) but it doesn't play on it Is that possible?

Sorry we only have Macs here so I'm a bit out of the loop when it comes to Windows machines.ed some light on this or confirm before I request another disc or purchase a vista CD ROM?
The admin guide for flash 8/9 suggests there's a .msm (merge module) for windows? I'm not seeing a merge module for flash 10. Does such a thing exist and if so where?
I'm developing a flash application by using actionscript, Flex SDK and text editor. I want make my flash application support InternetExplorer, FireFox and Chrome on Windows. But I'm developing it on Mac OSX.
How compatible is flash player of Mac OSX with flash player of Windows?
Do I have to test the application not only on Mac OSX but also on Windows?
How about compatibility with flash player of other OSes, for example, Android, Linux, Wii?
I have a ActiveX control hosting a flash-player which is in turn running a flash file trying to access data from a web-address.
In an old Windows Application version of my application everything works fine and the flash file is able to access the web-content.
However, in a newer Console Appliction version of the application it can no longer access the web-content.
Is there some kind of difference between a Windows Application and a Console application in terms of security/permissions that might affect an ActiveX hosted flash-player?

I've read Microsoft added streaming of some kind in Windows Media Player for Windows 7, could it be interfering?
I have problems with flash games and some advanced flash applications.Problems occurs regardless of browser.My computer is next:CPU: 2.8GHz hyper threadRAM: 1.5 GB (3 pieces)GPU: Nvidia 7600 GS Gigabyte.When it runs some flash game e.g. Facebook Pet Society, CPU load goes high as 80 to 100 %. It is very annoying thing since I am starting to loose my mind how to solve this.All other applications are running very good. This means games, 720p HD videos etc etc.
Can I convert a Flash file to Quicktime or Windows Media Player? If so....how? (Also, is swf the only file format on Flash?) I've been reading I need to download some converter to do this.
Has anybody had Flash player debuuger suddenly stop working for no reason whatsoever. What I've found so far: - No exception screens popping up.. in ANY browser. Reinstalled debugger version of flash player, no go. - Flashbug not showing in Firebug - No trace calls visible in FlashDevelop - Flash IDE behaves normal.. all trace calls visible - Firefox updated about the same time but problem seems to be on a wider scale This started approximately, on Sunday 8th Januray (or saturday).
I am using Windows 10 media Player SDK and embedded windows media player into my application ( a typical video player with additional functions).In order to play flash files in Windows Media Player, I have the following patch / plugins installed on the same computer
1. Adobe flash player 10
2. Media Player 10
3. ffdshow-rev2265_20081028_clsid.exe
4. osflvsplitter.1.0.0.4_nt.exe
The application typically downloads a xml file (play list) from the designated server and then downloads the list of media available in that list.On successful downloading of the media files, which includes MOV, WMA, DIVX and SWF files, the player is expected to play the playlist continuously and each file once (one after the other).So, my player plays first file - abc.mov, then second file xyz.wma and then the third file klm.swf... and here it stops! It won't go further. The SWF file loops continuously.I have stop() in the last frame of the SWF file though.I am not able to move the player ahead playing other files.

I'm working on a project that I want to export as a .avi file. I'm using Flash 8. I can go through the steps of exporting the movie fine, but once I try to play it in Windows Media Player, I get this error:
"Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."
I've tried playing it in VLC and DIVX player as well I got similar error messages. This is a time sensative project,
I'm trying to make Windows Media Player style controls into my movie. I know how to do stop, play, and pause already, but I don't know how to do the progress bar. I tried searching in the actionscript help menu. I couldn't find any actions that retrieve total frames in the movie and current frame number.
I am working on a short animated story, which has a scrubbable timeline and chapter headings. I used TimelineMax for sequencing it. For the most part, it is working fine. I am seeing some strange behavior that pop up, though: sprites disappear, functions stop responding to user input, seams of the sprites become transparent -- all small issues but pretty hard to nail down because they happen in Mac only.
So I am wondering what is wrong with Flash, and why it misbehaves on a Mac?
Anyone know of a skinnable audio player (or something similar to Windows Vista audio control in task bar) that i can embed in my website?

I have a flex application being developed in Spanish, and I'd like to build it using a Spanish locale. However, the only locales installed in my SDK are en_US and ja_JP. Is there a site or resource where I can get other sets of locale files?
Does anyone know how I can get operating system locale name from my flex 4 application? I'm just interested in any information about locale.Is it possible?
it doesn't display the necessary language, English only. after the encoding has been changed, it also doesn't work.probably the font should be changed into a standard one, but i don't know where to do it
