I wanted to know how to connect my flash embedded in html to servlets or through javascript and get values from and send to servlets or through javascript.
View 1 RepliesI'm developing a Flex application that employs BlazeDS with Tomcat on the backend. The Flex client authenticates through the ChannelSet which in turn creates an authenticated session on Tomcat. From then on, all of the client calls are authenticated transparently. However, I have a regular HttpServlet for uploading files, which does not get the session information from the BlazeDS servlets.
Is there a way that I can get the Principal object in the HttpServlet? I know that I can get the session ID from the BlazeDS servlet, pass it to the client, and then send that along with the upload request.

What im i doing wrong? i tryed everything. right now i just got it in a iframe but i dont want that iframe.
View 1 Repliesfriend and I are working on this Flash application that retrieves data from a IBM DB2 database and displays it. We read somewhere that Flash can't connect directly to a database, thus some middleware is required. So we are using JSP or servlets for our middleware. The problemIn our best (but limited haha) knowledge, we understand that we need to first declare an XML object, and then use a Load method to invoke a servlet that accesses the database and fills the XML object with records of the database. Finally it'll return the filled object back to Flash. Are we correct in this sense?Er, the problem is, we have no idea on how the servlet code works. We can successfully connect to the DB2 database and retrieve records, thoughBtw, we did try loading a XML file into a XML object. However, it's wierd. This is our XML file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test>

I have made a html file in which a swf is embedded with swf object. this swf contain dynamically loaded audio files. It works fine in offline but when it is uploaded it does not show the movie(swf is not playing) I see only empty space. i thought that it may take time to load, but even after waiting for long time the swf did not play and it shows blank white space.

I want to make it so that when I click anywhere on the embedded Flash element, it takes me to a destination URL.
Here is my current code, which does not produce the desired effect:
<div class="contentdiv" style="margin:-72px 0 10px 0px; cursor:pointer;" onclick="location.href='http://example.com/';">
<object height="410" width="720">

Right now it is making the space behind the .swf file clickable for the link, but the Flash element is not clickable.
If the right thing to do is to edit the .swf file somehow, I don't consider myself a Flash developer, but are there any resources on where to get started or how to do something this basic with an existing .swf file?
How should I change the following code if I want to put my flash object into a directory named "flash/", I tried changing the value to "flash/photo.swf" but it didn't work.

When i embed a flash video in HTML it works in IE and in Firefox but not in chrome. I've looked it up and I've found that chrome adds two attributes to the embed tag, width and height. i have already set the width and height attribute in the embed tag in pixels but from some reason chrome changes it to percentage. when i inspect the element and write pixels instead of percentage the flash is visible again.

I am using an embedded flash movie in my web page. I would like to show some alerts on the page when the movie has played for x seconds, pause the movie while the user views and dismisses the alert and start playing the movie again after that (or the user can press the play button, not important). The important parts being - the app being able to find out if x secs worth of movie has played, pausing the movie then and showing an alert. Is this possible using a php/javascript code within the web page? Or will I have to do this within the flash movie itself?

I am a motion media designer trying to incorporate some of my work for a client into a website for her Christmas gift. I am trying to resize a .swf to match the browser size, as the fixed size is really messing with my otherwise-resizing layout. Every time I set the width/height of the .swf to "100%" or "auto", the movie gets cut off at the top and bottom under the div containers. When I change the size of the container to 100%, I get a long, thin movie. I've copied my code below, Feel free to criticize anything else about my code, too--I'm a CSS virgin.

I can view it in my browser by going directly to the file however when it is embedded the photos will not load. The images it loads has to be in the same directory as the .swf file and as i stated it clearly works when going directly to the file but not once it has been embedded.
View 1 RepliesI made a smooth scrolling scrollbar in Flash - it works fine except when I upload it to my server/domain the scrollbar lags a bit and is not really smooth. The swf runs very smooth on my desktop but when embedded into html and uploaded, the movie clip that the scrollbar is scrolling doesn't animate smoothly, it jumps. Is there any way to make it go faster?
View 0 Repliesi have a flash inside html. now what i want is when i open the html in browser it goes fullscreen without clicking any 'full screen/normal screen' button.
View 1 RepliesI'm considering taking on a new project for myself - nothing particularly major - but I've a few questions that I'm certain anyone with some serious experience with Flash might be able to answer for me or perhaps (hopefully) guide me in the right direction for alternatives.
So I have an idea for a horizontal menu that I want to design using Flash (I've only experience with AS3 - odd as that is? - so that'll be how it'll be designed). As I'm coming to understand it's difficult/impossible to have the embedded flash interact with other portions of the HTML, so for every time that a menu item is clicked, is the only way to go about moving to that page just having the entire page effected - ie each page (home, port, etc) has to also include the embedded flash as well, or can I just have it affect some subwindow or section of the page, instead?
would this be considered a bug in my code (AS3 and Tweener) or a problem with the SWF and its interaction with HTML?When I test the SWF in Flash, there's no breaking it.I can't break it at all works exactly like it's suppose to.When I embed it in Flash, it breaks in an odd way.I have two buttons, left and right. When the buttons are clicked, images on stage move in the direction they're clicked.When embedded, if I click a button really fast, the images start tripping over each other. Strange thing is, it's only to the left button and not the right, but the code is exactly the same for the right & left movement. If I click the buttons slowly everything works as expected.All of this while again everything works great in Flash itself. No errors.So, at the very least I'm trying to find out if this would be considered a but with my code or a problem with the browsers and the Flash player.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if i can convert all my flash websites text into HTML so that flash can get it from external .html files.
View 6 RepliesOn my HTML page, I have <div> with an <iframe>, which references another page, that contains a Flash SWF object. If I set any of these:
display:none;
visibility:hidden;
opacity:0;
filter:alpha(opacity=0);
on the <div> that wraps the <iframe>, the SWF object sometimes remains in plain sight, while the <div>and <iframe> go out of view as expected.

This should work in the latest versions of Safari, Chrome and Firefox on a Mac and in the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer on a Windows 7 machine, and it should fail (no errors but the hiding behavior doesn't occur) in Safari on a Windows 7 machine.
It might be pertinent to note that one thing I've noticed about the SWF objects that have passed and failed are that the ones that have failed all revolve around video content whereas the ones that have passed don't. Granted I haven't tested more than a half-dozen objects, but that's quite a coincidence. :)

I've embedded a flash object in a form, and anchored it to the 4 borders. And when I resize the window, the flash application resizes too... but it tries to keep its proportions, showing unaesthetic black bars instead of change its width/length proportion.

View 2 RepliesIs there a way to set focus to the embed HTML element using JavaScript? Test case: embedded YouTube videos on a page.
I have no control over the embedded Flash element. So, is there a way to set focus on it by using only JavaScript?
I read somewhere that calling the element.focus() method works only in IE. I need a browser-independent way that works in Chrome/Firefox.
I am making some improvements on a web-site that has a youtube video embedded in its home-page. I have not added this code myself, but it looks like:
<object width="380" height="307">
<param name="movie" value="[URL]" />
</param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
</param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
</param><embed src="[URL]" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="380" height="307"></embed></object>
I have a small ux problem with this embedded object: When scrolling the page up or down using the scroll-wheel of the mouse, it stops working when the mouse cursor is hovering over the video. Are there any html / css / param settings that I can modify to avoid this? See the site itself for a working example. I experience the problem both in Windows 7 64bit and Ubuntu 11.10 64bit so far.
My flash media player is not playing automatically when my webpage loads. I have changed the settings from 0 to 1 (which should auto start the file), but still does not start the song automatically. This occurs in IE, FF, and Chrome.
