A few months ago, I started noticing a small annoyance in Flash and the Flash Player. This small annoyance quickly became a rather large inconvenience, so I recently started googling a solution. Nothing to be found, unfortunately.Here's my problem:When I open a swf file with the standalone Flash Player (any version), the size of the player is set to the size of the last swf file I loaded with the "File - Open" dialog. By the way, when I use the file dialog to open files, the player resizes appropriately.An example:I open a swf with "open with - Flash Player" and the Flash Player sets its size to 320x240 instead of the swf's size, 640x480. Or I open a swf that should be 550x400 and it opens at 320x240. The Flash Player always uses the dimensions of the last file opened with "File - Open."
This problem even affects the Flash CS3 built-in "Test Movie" player.The problem is a little difference within the "test movie" player. It seems to keep whatever the dimensions were the last time you resized the player yourself, and full screen mode doesn't work properly.I tried upgrading, downgrading, editing the
I am interested in doing automated testing against a Flex based UI.I have found out that my best options for UI automation (due to being C# controllable, good licensing conditions, etc)all seem to require that I compile test hooks into my application.Because of this, I am thinking of recommending that these hooks be compiled into our build.
Warning! Automation enabled applications expose all properties of all GUI components. This makes them vulnerable to malicious use.Never make automation enabled application publicly available. Always restrict access to such applications and to RIATest Loader to trusted users only.
Working with a SWf where it's worked all along, loading data from url...But, now, if you switch from Flash Player 10 to Flash Player 10.1, I get the standard security sandbox violation:[code]The crossdomain.xml is still in place and if I downgrade to FP 10 (or earlier), it works as expected.
anyone know of some code that will allow the timeline to be scrubbed through using a slider -- similar to that of a quicktime / Media player slider used in video / mp3 players ??
I am completely new to this with flash and action script. I checked the Flash MP3 Player tutorial and I wonder how I'm doing a previous button and a volume scrolling button in action script?
I have a game that will work better in Flash Player 11 (with Molehill) but also works in 10.3. I'd like to get players to automatically update to 11 with express install as much as possible (after it's released, of course), but don't want to force them.I tried this way of embedding it with SWFObject:
I'm integrating a Flash-free web site with Facebook Connect.Loading it in Internet Explorer 7 (only in IE 7, not IE 6 nor IE 8) I get the famous IE information bar saying that the current web site requires the Adobe Flash Player and asks me if I want to install it.
If I remove the code needed to the Facebook Connect integration (some facebook-hosted javascript files), IE does not ask me to install Flash anymore.As I've already said my web site does not require Flash at all and with IE 6, IE 8, Firefox or any other browser I'm not asked to install the Adobe Flash Player.Is this normal? Does Facebook Connect require Flash? Does it need Flash only with IE7?

I'm attempting to create a top-down TRON light-cycle style game in Flash CS5, working in AS3. I've been looking into having a player-controlled sprite (a UIComponent) leave a trail as it moves across the screen, avoiding other lines and trying to get to the "exit". The player-controlled sprite will be controlled by the keyboard.I've looked at "snake" games to try to sort out the best way to do this, but I'm not sure that it's the best base to start from.
I'm looking for a flash uploader that doesn't need javascript/jquery. I'm not familiar at all with javascript so my attempts at flash/js hybrid uploaders have all failed to integrate with my script.
I want to implement something like a pick-and-change selector, like this one here, what tools can i use to accomplish something like that? Is flash adequate? Which has the shortest learning curve? I was told by my friend to use 3d max.
How do you or your company require designers to deliver their assets to coders? Do they deliver a PSD? A series of 24-bit PNGs?
If you are a coder, what would you include in a best-practice guideline to designers? If you are a designer, what questions would you like to see answered in such a document?
Im developing a flash based image gallery with a spin effect. at once you see only few images but you should have the option to reveal more images similar to this design [1]: http:[url].....jpg [Flash Photography Template]: http:[url]....I need the logic, should i just play with the tweens or it could be dynamic with action script?
Does anyone know for certain whether any version of the Flash player is contained within MS Vista/IE7? I have read conflicting opinions but I cannot find any specific reference to Vista/IE7 actually containing the Flash player.
MS WinXP has the Flash 6 player bundled by default, so I was hoping that MS would do the same with Vista/IE7, just a newer version.
Recently struggling with weird IE9 + Flash problem I came over multiple advices to use classid and codebase attributes specifically for IE. But couldn't find any explanation of why they might be required or what they simply do. Any good writeup on this topic anywhere? Side-question: Can I just make classid value up out of my head or it should be generated according to some rules?
I'm interested in why flash audio players need <param> parameters, when without them and only with <object> they work nicely.I have also read many posts here about audio flash players, but I can not find any good one.
Maybe I'm not understanding how typekit works. But will I be able to use typekit fonts for the closed caption text within my flash movie player? The closed caption text is not html content....it's served by an xml file and then rendered by flash actionscript.
I've been creating a site using as3 in flash CS4, however my client has a large customer base that inludes people in large companies that dont have the latest flash drivers installed on their computers and dont have the admistrative privalidges to update the drivers themselves. After testing with a select few customers my client has foud that 50% of their clients are not able to view the site prototype. I have therefore attempted to publish the site setting the Flash player to 9 rather than 10, however when I test the site all the animated elements are frozen! If anyone has an idea how to resolve these issues I'm all ears
How many instances of Video, NetStream and NetConnection would be needed for multiple videos? Not sure that's the right question but essentially here's the objective:
Currently, I'm working on an interactive product tour, parts of which are to consist of short video clips, each covering a feature. While only one such clip will be playing at any given time, I'd like put them all at the application's fingertips as part of the initial preloading process before launching into it. The idea is to provide a seamless instant-play user experience without hitting the breaks before individual segments.
I need to implement a realtime connection between 2 or more players, that will play a Flash game. I've read that RTMFP is a good choice to make this connection the best possible (were best=less lag between actions), but, I am quite new to this kind of things, what documentation/tutorial/guide you think would be the best to get started and finally make a good implementation of RTMFP?
(Also, I read that there are differents servers or frameworks that provide the same, like Cirrus, Red5, etc, what pros and contras have this?, taking cost into account). I was reading the adobe documentation, there is an example too, but I'd love to see some more flash game based example, even a very basic one, so I can extend that functionality and start making tests. I got it working, now, I need to know how to make a webservice for the peer ID interconnection.
I have read about the Progressive downloads which is supported in flash for playing the media files. This ia an advantageous since this eliminates the need for a streaming server. Is there any open source players to play the FLVs directly from the HTTP server.
I am trying to embed audio players in a drop-down content tooltip. I will eventually have lots of these on a page.My problem is this:When I close the div the sound continues to playI can also make them play at the same time.I would like them to autostart when you open the div, but when I do that they both start at once before you've even activated the drop-down content. I would rather not do the whole site in flash.
Apparently Adobe added more features in flash video with each successive flash version, so earlier versions of flash video are only compatible with the same earlier version of the flash player. I'm trying to find out which video features are compatible with each of the flash players. This is because I want to create video for the lowest possible version of the flash player, so more people will be able to view it.
I have a flash player that plays an MP3 from my website. On one of my pages i have around 20 of these flash players embeded on the website. i've seen on other websites so when the user presses the play on flash player #1 and then while that's playing, they press play on flash player #2, it would first pause and stop flash player #1 and then start flash player #2 and so on.
I have just created an xml/flash mp3 player in flash 8 for a website that I am working on using Lee's excellent tutorial. Everything is working perfect except for the scrolling titles. His code had it so that the title would scroll across and then reverse back but it really didn't work with the titles of the songs I was using no matter how much I altered the code. I wanted the titles to scroll from right to left and then repeat over and over until the song ended or the person clicked on the next button. I have managed to get the titles to scroll once in one direction completely but then nothing else happens.
// Text scroller var size:Number = 35; var textPos:Number = 0;
I have a web site that displays a column of flash videos. The page is w3c-valid. The problem is that the page loads very slowly and sometimes crashes my web browser. Until the page is fully loaded, the videos are slow to respond and play. Is there a way to make these videos load their preview images only? What should I do to speed the page up? The videos are 360x264.
I am working with the open source flash player at [URL].. and I am trying to figure out how to limit one sound file at a time. I know this has been done on a number of sites but I am unsure how to approach it.
Scenario: A page has five different instances of the flash player. The user is litening to one song but clicks on another to listen to it.Goal: The first audio file automatically stops while the second starts playing instead of both playing at the same time.
Do I need to have some sort of javascript handler than interacts with the swf or something?
We have an issue were the server session associated with a Flex client times out when the browse file dialog is open for a time longer then the configured session timeout. It seems that on some players, the playback is stopped when browse or download on a FileReference is executing. This also causes remote calls to be blocked and hence our manual keep-alive messages are not sent to the server, resulting in a session timeout. I searched for some info on this in the docs and found a notice of it, but it does not explicitly list the players it does (not) work. Would anyone know were I could find a complete list?
