Flash :: Automating Program With Python Using Pywinauto
Sep 9, 2011
I am trying to send a couple basic text commands to a flash program running in Firefox on Windows 7, but I am unable to get pywinauto working for me. Right now, I have just been able to accomplish the very basic task of connecting to Firefox plugin-container by directing it to the path using the following code:
Is there a way to imprt a python program into flash, so that you would get what you would see in python, but in .swf file (I'd like to make a text-only game for Kongregate)
i need a simple python lib that check the uploaded files to my webserver are flash media (FLV), by reading the flv header (metadata) and not the mimetype extension.
I experience strange behavior of sockets in Python (3.2). Client connects to my application using Flash. Most of the time there is nothing unusual but sometimes python crashes in a way that should not have taken place - enter into infinite loops. Below I attach to the loop code and error message in the log. Python hang on bytesRecived = sock.recv(64) and receive b'' witch is visible in log.
Does Adobe Flash expose any Automation or hosting interfaces through COM or a DLL in %systemroot%system32? I'm working with Python and wxWidgets to host a flash application to monitor lunar phases.
I am using python and webapp framework in app engine for backend and flex 4 for front end.I would like to pass a string form backend to front end, so i write the following code in the main.py:
I have created a flex application in the Python Gae sdk and I got the error 2048, so I put a crossdomain.xml under the static folder. The crossdomain.xml is following:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd"> <cross-domain-policy> [code].....
However, I still got the error 2048. Therefore, I would like to know is anything I need to configure or miss in my case and how to fix the error.
If swf file is embedded in html it is easy to call ActionScript methods via ExternalInterface using JavaScript. Now I want to use the swf file outside of a browser and still be able to access its methods, but now I want to use Python to call ActionScript. Is it possible? There is so little information about it in the Internet. Probably I can use AMF (pyAmf) for this, can I?
I wish to get some data from a flash site. Now it is not possible to get the data directly from html. Now I have noticed using firebug that a xml file is sent to the browser containing the data I want, when I click on certain parts of the flash site. Is there any way to automate this?
How do I go about automating conversions from powerpoint to flash?I want a user to be able to upload a powerpoint file into my web page and on the server I want to convert the powerpoint to a flash movie. Is there any preferred method for doing this?
My goal is to make a flash/as3 program that would pull multiple sets of data (images and texts) from the database and compile and save a flash video project for each one. What might be the best way to go about making this work? I checked but wasn't able to find a function that would publish the flash project in it's current state, so I don't think I can execute the entire process in a single flash/as3 file. My only other option is to have some other program/batch file take care of the querying the database and compiling multiple flash/as3 movies by starting up a flash program and passing it the parameters of the data it needs to build 1 complete project for 1 set of data. Is there a program to create .swf files automatically? Is it even possible to pass in init params to flash/as3 project?
I'm trying to find out if there is a way I could embed a Python back-end into an AIR application? I'm looking to employ an approach similar to the one outlined here to implement the business logic for my application, but additionally, I would like to provide the user with a single binary which they can load. I don't want the user to have to fire up a seperate server process to make this work.
I've got twenty .swf files and respectively .as extensions of them. In each file there's my e-mail, but I don't have access to that e-mail anymore, so I want to edit each file to remove it. Is there any way I can change my e-mail in twenty files and compile them afterwards in an automate process via some script ?
Im trying to add an exit button onto my program so when its clicked it exits the program completely.. I've tried some of the suggestions on the forums but they arnt working. what I have been using and its not working..

I need to program a timer for a typing tutorial program. It needs to go to 5 minutes. When the timer gets to 5 minutes the movie has to go to frame 13 which displays the results of the typing test.
I am trying to create an automated program in Python that deals with Flash. Right now I am using Python Mechanize, which is great for filling forms, but when it comes to flash I don't know what to do. Does anyone know how I can interact with flash forms (set and get variables, click buttons, etc.) via Python mechanize or some other python library?
I'm trying to generate an embeded flash widget on a page with Python using a dynamic parameter. Here's the code I currently have.[code]...
The {{query}} parameter is passed through as a URL parameter. I'm not very technical, but I think the query value needs to be encoded for the flash to work. How do I encode the flash parameter?
I'm doing some crawling with Python, and would like to be able to identify (however mperfectly) the flash I come across - is it a video, an ad, a game, or whatever.I assume I would have to decompile the swf, which seems doable. But what sort of processing would I do with the decompiled Actionscript to figure out what it's purpose is?
Would it be technically possible to embed Python into a Flex/AIR application by compiling CPython code using Alchemy? (I'm guessing the project should be called Flython.)
I have created a flash program and I would like to run a second flash program from inside the first. To explain, say I am running a program that draws a circle and fills it with a color. Then, I have designed a second program that will divide a circle into sectors by entering percentages, to turn that circle into a pie chart. Is there a way to be running the "draw a circle" program and have a button that opens the "divide the circle into sectors" program in a new window and then passes information from that program to the first program. I am sure I will have to send the information from the second program to an XML file and then have the first program recieve it from the XML file (which I can do), but I don't know if I can run the second program from inside the first program.
On Linux, YouTube places temporary flash files in /tmp. Nautilus can display the duration (Minutes:Seconds) of them, but I haven't found a way to extract the duration using python.'
note: using django/python/javascript/flash So its been two days since I'm stuck at the error. I did the things you told me to and found a couple of ways around it but nothing worked. These are the results.Javascript does not receive the normal string it has to be a json object so. in views.py
somestring = json.dumps("HELLO WORLD")
which renders this in HTML
"HELLO WORLD"
and in javascript it is rendered like this
a240527176321_quote_hello
Now, since it is a json object I need to convert it back in flash. But when it gets in flash where I receive it like this
I'm looking at switching programming languages due to some unavoidable roadblocks. However, before I dedicate myself to a whole new language, I need to know if it is possible for me to play .swf or .flv files underneath other GUI elements if I am using OcempGUI and pygame?Will using those two libraries back me into a corner, to where I cannot use other python GUI libraries without a lot of time-consuming patching?
