I have written a basic chat client that talks to an XML Socket server. When it starts it connects to the socket and works fine. However, when I close the Flash Player it is still occupying a connection to the server. I am trying to determine how I can trap the close of the Flash Player and programmatically close the connection to the server before the program exits.

View 7 RepliesFrom a Flash object, I would like to be able to detect the presence of a webcam that the user might grant access to, without actually asking the user whether they want to grant access. This is to streamline a large application that has extra features if a webcam exists — if there is a webcam, the application will present several dialogs that lead up to the normal cam-security prompt, but if the user doesn't have the hardware, I want to skip over them altogether. Requesting access to the cam before those dialogs won't make sense to the user.
It appears not to be possible to call Camera.getCamera() without the security prompt happening. Is there a workaround? (For instance, could I, perhaps, call getCamera in a hidden Flash object and inspect its return value, or does it block until the user acknowledges the security prompt?)
In 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?

View 3 Repliesran into a sticky situation the other day where a douchebag anti shockwave moron showed me our shh doesn't work: we obviously detect if flashplayer X.X exists and we do print some html mirror accordingly but for some, idiotic I might say, reason, if it is there and it is disabled, the detections still return true - well who the heck wants to know that then, ah? totally a case of sour grapes I might say - yes, it is there, but yeah well it's useless...
so anyhow - web's full of gr8 workarounds for detection etc... is there an actual proper reliable code to detect no flash, even if it's disabled?!

View 6 RepliesI know how to detect if Flash player is installed in a browser. I'm using the hasFlashPlayerVersion() function of swfobject for that. However, I can't seem to find any documentation on how to detect if the plug-in is installed and just disabled. I didn't see any documentation in the Flash Player Detection Kit that checks if the plug-in is enabled either.

View 1 RepliesI have a platformer engine. Which i can draw out the level. But if the player is moving up hill I want it to rotate according to the angle of the boundaries.

What I'm trying to do is have a cleanup/data save function run when Flash detects that the player is being closed (i.e. user clicks the X to close button on the flashplayer window).
Is there some event that fires when this happens, or a deconstructor I can put in my Main class to make this happen? I've searched around a bit and not found anything for a standalone flash app.
I need to access information in my XML. The information I need is not stored on every object in my XML, only on the parent. But how can I check if there is a parent or not, so it wont throw an error when selecting the first object in the tree (having no parents)?

I add a movie clip on a displayobject like this : (mc is a MovieClip with frames on it)
Code:
mc = new Mc();
levels.addChild(mc);
So here it is, my mc is displayed on levels object..For debug reason at each frame in my mc object i use :
Code:
trace("mcMoves on "+parent )
//it traces "mcMoves on [object Levels]"
Now i want to remove it (and all the objects displayed on the level object) like this:
Code:
while (levels.numChildren) levels.removeChildAt(0);
levels = null;
So everything disappears, but it still trace :
"mcMoves on null"
so my object just disappear from my view, not from the code, how can i erase my object for good ?
I read that my NetStream object will dispatch NetStatus events : he really does. cool...I am tracing them, because it is also supposed to trace "pause" status, when the player is paused and also "unpause" events : he never does. not cool.My goal is to be able to detect "NetStream.Pause.Notify" and "NetStream.Unpause.Notify" to show the logo of the company over the movie, when playing is stopped.Basically I used that :
ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, elError);
public function elError(e:Object):void

I'm attempting to make a platform game. Each level is contained within it's own MovieClip, which has it's own class. Each of these classes extend the Level class, which provides basic functionality for all levels.
Each individual level has a numPlatforms variable which stores the number of platforms in that particular level. I currently have a for loop that runs from 1-numPlatforms and sets the level area (the image, more or less) the platform contains:

Is there any way to check if a variable exists within a MoveClip? I've trying comparing it to null and also to undefined, but neither works.
