In a div, we use swfobject to embed a flash player. We wrote the flash player in action script. During the initialization of the web page, we use javascript to resize the div to make the player best fits the browser. The enclosed flash player registers an OnResize event listener and handler. The question is the OnResize event is not called when the enclosing div's resized. (The OnResize event does get called when we drag to resize the browser afterwards.) Could the be caused by the Flash VM is not fully ready when the div's being resized? What is the best way to make sure the OnResize event is called in this case?
I want to resize a image using flash resizer.java script browse and upload a image and send to flash resizer and flash resizer resize the image and send back to javascript.Is it possible to send and receive image from javascript and if yes then please let me know what I need to do on flash end and how i can make javascript accessible to my flash code.do i need to load my full sourse code or javascript done there job with SWF only.
I dispatch a custom event from an event dispatcher (following solution Inherited a class from EventDispatcher in Flash but custom event not received) and I add a listener in both dispatcher itself and in main. trace shows that only dispatcher receives this event not main. How to make main also receive the event?[code]
I am having trouble using a custom event in flex. I need to dispatch an event from inside two nested components and receive it in the main application file. The basic set up is a main application file importing a custom "gallery" component.
My page uses both flash and javascript. Currently, I have a video player which makes use of commands like "videoP.sendEvent('PLAY');". I'm building a new, custom player and have never used the sendEvent() method.I've always used "setVariable" with a listener.
I'd like to NOT alter the code in my html page and make use of it's sendEvent() functionality. So, I guess my question is ... how do I RECEIVE the event? The player is already targeted properly within my html. I just need to tell my flash doc to execute the information it receives.
I'm having a bit of a problem here. As per the title, my flash swf file works fine when tested from the IDE, but when I publish it and open it through the browser, the stage doesn't seem to resize along with the window.I post below a bare-bones example. The "back" movie clip should resize, only it remains at the starting dimensions
having a problem while resizing a flash object using jquery in Safari only on the following site:[URL]..When you navigate around I call javascript events when the flash object needs to change height and when that happens there is a quick flash where everything goes crazy and then it goes back to normal. Really weird, and I cannot figure out how to fix it.[URL]...
Let me know if you need any more info. I have drawn a blank fixing this one.
I was wondering how to achieve the native scrollbar effect which TheFWA (thefwa.com) has managed to do pretty well (I am not a fan of Flex scrollbars).and implemented the technique, as I am calling a JS function through ExternalInterface every time, when the flash object changes size. This JS function simply resizes the div which holds the flash object, which creates the native bars.Unfortunately, when I resize quite rapidly (from 800 to 1800 height, for instance) the flash object simply gets warped for several milliseconds (as if it hasn't changed its size, but simply got pulled in all directions). After these milliseconds, things get back to normal, but the whole situation is really visually annoying.
Originally I thought that it's simply a timing issue, but after a bunch of attempts to set a delay, the effect was the same ... just delayed.How can I resolve that? I know it's technically possible. Just take a look at TheFWA, and see how smoothly flash and the browser are communicating with each other to make the native scroll bars work, without any flickering, or mismeasurement
I have a problem understanding Events and event handling.I have a movieClipA wich contains several other movieClips (a1,A2,A3, etc..)MovieClipA is parent of movieClips (a1,A2,A3, etc..)
In movieClipA I use the following code: ... addEventListener ( "Pieter", pieterFnP ) ; dispatchEvent(new Event("Pieter"));[code]....
When I execute the application, function "pieterFnP" is fired, but "pieterFnC" NOT.
I have a flash video player in a div inside a webpage, I'm trying to create a button that will resize this div to fill the whole page and hide everything else behind it. Has anyone tried to do it?Problems:1. It causes the flash to reload and the video to restart2. In some cases a flash banner from the webpage overlays my video player no matter what z-index I give it.
Most flash-based browser games don't seem to resize properly when the user resizes their browser window (i.e. ctrl+mousewheel). Example of bad resizing: Boxhead The Zombie Wars. Please refrain from playing for a moment, lest you forget about my question.
Some (surprisingly very few) actually do resize properly. Example (at least in Chrome): D.N.8
Is there a simple or standard technique to accomplish proper resizing? How do you do it?
I've decided to add keyboard capabilities to my program. All my functions I have written require a mouse event to be passed to them. I'm just wondering if there is a better way to run these mouse event functions rather than to take out the contents of these functions and create a new function that is called within a mouse event function OR a keyboard event function. What I mean is I am starting to change the mouse event functions I have to only have one line inside of them which will run a separate function. This same separate function I will run using a keyboard input as well.
Which is a better approach for this? ActionScript3 or JavaScript+PHP? Any open source tool? After a long search, the only good example I found was this [URL] but I'd rather have a flash alternative.. Also I don't need all the extra functions such as filters.
I'd like to create an animated background for my latest gig using Flash. My only issue (as of right now) is different browser sizes. I know a way to make a standard background resize (meaning no nasty scroll bars) using Javascript, but it's not working with the embedded movie.
Is anybody else finding their flash website event.RESIZE isn't working in Windows 7?My website works fine when I run it at home in Vista, however at work in Windows 7 it just does not work and I have no idea why???! Essentially the bit that says portfolio works should stick in the top right corner on resize and the mute and sound button in the bottom left.
I am trying to learn JavaScript and I am wondering whether JavaScript has a event listener just like ActionScript's ENTER_FRAME. Basically, I want this event listener to listen "all the time" not just wait for any particular instance (mouse click, keyboard event) of event.
I am looking for a consistent way to determine when Flash is going to be unloaded. I need to handle this event in order to call a tracking API once rather than each analytical event.
how to consistently (across all browsers) handle this
In IE, if flash has focus, and receives a keydown event, it does not appear to bubble the event up through the DOM (I can't capture the event by listening on document, however the same listener can capture key events from html siblings, so I know my listener is working).
However, some other plugins on the page (I am looking at you windows media player) still respond to key events that initiate in flash (and I need to prevent that from happening)! It seems that the key event initiated in flash takes the bubble express highway straight to the top (where the top is whatever is above document in the DOM hierarchy). I have tried terminating the events in as3, and tried different wmodes... neither approach works.
I need to capture the event raised when a flash video ends. If possible, I'd like to distinguish this from a user clicking the stop button.
One thing to be made perfectly clear:
I DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER THE PRESENTATIONS OR THE SWF FILES.
What I'm looking for is simple (I thought) js automation of the client player object, not more complex interactivity with the presentation itself. I thought this would be really simple stuff, but a dozen Google and Bing searches later, I can't find anything about it.
I'm wondering if its possible to resize flash with javascript. I can't change any code in the flash object alone all I have is html, javascript and php to work with. Heres what I've found so far:
[Code]....
Content Embed is the embed tag and content object is the object tag in the flash. This works in chrome (and probably firefox) but not ie. In internet explorer I get the error: Unable to set value of the property 'height': object is null or undefined Here is the example page I have been using:[URL]
Can I dispatch events from javascript to flash player? I am trying to do so by calling dispatchEvent() on flash player dom object but the event is not passing inside flash player.
Environment: Windows 7, Internet Explorer 8, Flash ActiveX 10.1.53.64, wmode=transparent
Just wrote a small test page that you can load in IE and Firefox or any other Browser.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

So clicking any colored shape should produce an alert (except for the green one in IE, not sure why but I hope that's off topic and not related to my issue).
Clicking the Flash container in Firefox will work Perfectly fine. You should get alert boxes in this order containing: span, div and body. Flash bubbles the event to the HTML. But this is not happening in IE.
So why is Flash in IE not bubbling events to HTML?
Edit: As mentioned by Andy E this behavior can also bee seen in Google Chrome which to my knowledge is not using ActiveX to embed the flash movie into the page.
I wondered if anyone can provide any information on how flash events relate to the DOM event model.My issue is this:body > div > object.The div has a mousedown event which calls 'preventDefault' on the event object.This shouldn't bear any relation to a click event within the objects swf however in IE9 it prevents the swfs mousedown event from firing..I'm struggling to understand how swf events fit in with DOM (presumably they continue to bubble up from the object element?) and why a click event on a div would affect a childs swf click.
I have got this script working from How to get mouseup to fire once mousemove complete working within the jQuery (document) scope.Later on I added a flash object inside the body.and when I click on the flash object the mousedown event fired, mousemove event fired, but not the mouseup event which where I want to unbind the mousemove. But when I click on non Flash area, mousedown works, mousemove works, and mouseup also works. It works like I wanted it to in Chrome, but not in Firefox.Here are the codes, and I called handleMouseDown in $(document).ready
handleMouseDown: function () { jQuery(document).mouseup(function() { Log("unbind.");
I'm using SWFWheel to get the mousewheel events in actionscript 3, and I have a small flash window amongst a full html page that needs a scrollbar. The flash scrolls properly, but the whole HTML page scrolls with it. How can I disable scroll to html when over the flash?
In IE, if flash has focus, and receives a keydown event, it does not appear to bubble the event up through the DOM (I can't capture the event by listening on document, however the same listener can capture key events from html siblings, so I know my listener is working).However, some other plugins on the page (I am looking at you windows media player) still respond to key events that initiate in flash (and I need to prevent that from happening)!

Is there something I might have missed?
