I'm looking to use the Smart Seek options with netStream in an upcoming project. Currently, we are using Flash CS4 and it seems this API is not available. Am I correct on this? Is this only available in CS5 as far as Flash Professional goes? What about Flex? Which version of Flex is required to access the smart seek API? Or am I misunderstanding this, and the Smart Seek API is server side only AS?

I'm developing a flash application that is getting information from a remote server using a URLLoader. I have a function that will create a request for information based on the product ID. When there is an error, I want to fall back to an alternate URL, but to create the alternate URL, I need to know the product ID. What is the best method to determine which URLLoader failed (and which product request failed) so that I can regenerate the new URL?
My functions are below:
function loadData(productID:String):URLLoader {
var productURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("/path/to/product/" + productID);
var dataLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

I'm trying to load the jpg out of an mp3 (I'm doing this in Flash, but that's neither here nor there), and I've pulled open a few MP3s in a hex editor and while the rest of the tag is pretty clear, the image part is a mystery. There is a label "image/jpeg" but then I expect something resembling a byte length for the image or a string key that demarcates the end of the image
View 2 RepliesI'm creating an online multiplayer game in which I want to prevent players from joining a game using multiple clients/accounts on one computer. I can't simply do a server sided check for the IP-address because I still want e.g. people in the same office to be able to play together.Therefore I'd like to generate some kind of computer ID/hash on the client which it sends along to the server. I know that is easily hackable, but it will stop at least those "cheaters" who can't or won't change their client software.Is there a way to generate such an ID/hash in my game client? It's made in Flash and AIR (there are two versions, browser and desktop).The value doesn't need to be globally unique, because I will check for IP-address + ID

I use Flash to develop a movie that runs when a user installs a new version of my companies software, and allows the user to access the user documentation and software installations at the click of a button. I use ActionScript to control the flow of the movie based on radio buttons that the user selects so that they are only provided with information relevant to them.I have been asked if Flash can determine whether a program is installed on the user's computer which can then be used to determine the flow of the movie.

View 2 RepliesWe have an old Flash application that has worked fine for years, but intermittently fails on latest versions of Firefox. Using the same version of the Flash Player, the application runs fine in Internet Explorer. Recompiling the product is risky, and I'm trying to fully understand the problem before resorting to that. I'd like to be able to point to a known browser or player bug, but I can't really say where the problem is yet.I've gather the following information using Charles Proxy:The Flash application gets a list of files it needs to load. It requests a file then waits until the Flash Plug-in dispatches an Event.COMPLETE before requesting the next file. During this process I can see the HTTP requests and server responses. When the application "hangs", Charles Proxy reports that the response actually completed; however, Firefox's status bar shows "Transferring ..."
Sometimes for an extended period, I can't recreate the problem at all. At other times, the hang-up happens over and over again.Finally, if we switch to using https instead of http, the problem NEVER happens. Because Charles Proxy shows Status Complete while Firefox shows that a Transfer is still occurring, I speculate that the problem is actually in Firefox. I believe that Firefox is failing to recognize when the file actually finished loading, and therefore it fails to tell the Flash Player. The end result is that our code gets no Event.COMPLETE from the player and cannot continue requesting files.
Is it possible to use JavaScript to detect whether a .swf file has loaded completely within a web page?Assume that the .swf file is pulled from a 3rd-party website and we don't have access to its source code.
