Actionscript 3 :: Flash Async Calls With Mouse Click Permissions?
Nov 19, 2009
The current workflow is as follows:
user clicks a button sends a Loader to see if the user has permission if the user has permission uploads a file
Unfortunately, this gives:
SecurityError: Error #2176: Certain actions, such as those that display a pop-up window, may only be invoked upon user interaction, for example by a mouse click or button press.
It appears that as a security feature, Flash 10 disallows certain functions (such as uploading a file) unless it is preceded by a mouse click or button press. However, since I am first loading the request for permission, it no longer see the MouseEvent event (presumably in the stack) and thus throws a SecurityError.
Often, but not always, the first few clicks on the "Allow" button on the Flash camera permissions dialog are ignored. This is very frustrating for users. And for me, when I'm testing code! I'm afraid I don't really know what else to say about the problem to give more insight. My hunch is that it has something to do with getting focus on the embed element, but that is merely a guess.
I am working on a flash video recorder.When the video recorder applications loads , a camera permission dialog box opens asking the user to either allow or deny access to the camera or microphone.The problem is that on mac firefox the the user is not able to click on the allow or deny buttons.In fact the entire flash dialog box does not respond to any mouse clicks. When you right click on the flash area to manually open the security window it opens .But even here there is no response to mouse clicks.Using the keyboard i am able to shift focus from allow button to deny buttons or any other part of the dialog box but nothing happens on pressing the enter key.In short, the recorder application freezes at the very first step in mac firefox.
I will call flashObject.httpRequest to complete a http request via flash. The problem is there is no reference about httpRequest is an async method or sync. It is important for my application.
private function httpRequest (uri:String, param:String="", method:String="GET"):void { var
I'm having a weird situation that only seems to occur in IE. This may or may not be related to my other post ("Need to worry about thread-safety?"), but I'm not sure, so I'm putting this in a separate thread.I have a setup in my my flash app to load an arbitrary number of different sounds, but with an limit on the number of sounds being loaded simultaneously. It works like this (psuedocode):
EDIT: In other words, it starts loading up to the first, say, 5 sounds, and then after each one finishes loading, it starts loading the next sound in the queue.It works fine on everything except IE. And it will work on IE as long as the files aren't cached. But if they are cached, then in IE (and only in IE) the flash app will hang and produce a trace like this:
a b start callback start callback
[code]....
And after roughy 50 of those "start callback"s the flash app hangs and it never gets to any "end callback" or "c".It seems that loadSound is deciding to call onLoad synchronously, instead of asynchronously as would normally be expected. But this never seems to happen in anything but IE, even when the given browser has it all cached. So apparently it's either calling onLoad the wrong way in IE, or flash events like onLoad are susceptible to race conditions and need to be written accordingly.
I have 4 invisible buttons that all do basically the same thing. I am learning how to consolidate my code using functions and I'm stuck on this one. I am using onRollover, on Rollout and onReleases in a frame actionscript. The code is below for 2 of the buttons.
I'm trying to build an app, which should have Flash Player control, which plays SWF from server (certain URL). For Flash Player ActiveX you have to save SWF file to a temporary location to load it and play, isn't it? You'll have to create a corresponding link that you can pass to the Flash Player ActiveX and then delete SWF file after it is played. Of course, high security level can't be guaranteed, but I think it's good, if at least no temporary files are created (can be intercepted LOCALLY). So the question is how to make Flash Player ActiveX be able to load SWF file directly from any source without usage of temp files?
I just started playing around with as3 and I have a function for mouse clicks that draws a shape on each click. However the mouse click event does not appear to work unless I click a movieClip object I placed in the middle of the screen. Is there a way to make the mouse click event recognize when I click anywhere on the screen?
If I "Right Mouse Click" on a Flash SWF file embedded in a page and click "Print" it prints just the flash, in perfect colour etc etc..How can I achieve this exact operation, but as a button in Flash? So it prints just as if I did the above operation.
As an extra, if you know how - Is there any way I can default the page to print out "Landscape" too ?
If you press left click and dont release it, and then press right click (contextual menu appears) and then left click again, the first "drag" action is never released.
Its like, I need to make that my right click says: "hey left click, your job is done, you can go home now".
I'm making the simplest swf for a friend who has real problems remembering the actions of a Left and Right click with the mouse. So I would like to show text when "Right" click is detected and the same for a Left click. This at first seemed an easy project but the right mouse detection has got me baffled.
In one of our project we are using flex for front end, blazeds/java in the backend. Its an existing code where services are prewritten. I have to make calls to 3 services in the backend (basically 3 remote objects) and get their result and store the result in an object and show the data of this object in a view. Now in front end we are using Flex and Parsley Framework. I was thinking of the following approaches.
1) Making commands for each service call and storing the result in a shared object (model) and then displaying this model in the view. In this approach the problem is some services are needed in some other web pages, but they donot need the same model. How should i handle this scenario ? Should i make a asynchronous remote call and fetch the result and then again dispatch and event with the event object storing the result.
2) Making a service call , wait for the result then make another call and wait for the result and then make other call, not sure if this is the right way ?
I changed the mouse cursor using a tutoral from this forum, but when I press the right mouse button,the standard mouse cursor reapears.How to prevent that?
I'm developing Greasemonkey scripts for a website. I do not control the Flash file.
Question: Is it possible to simulate a mouse click on a button/movie clip in a Flash object embedded in a web page? Googling only shows ways to simulate a mouse click on a DOM element, and ways that require the ActionScript to be changed to implement a JavaScript interface. Or is this simply impossible?
I am trying to show the first image of my image gallery when it is loaded. How would I go about simulating a mouse click event that will pass an event value to a function?
I have Flash var array that I want to swap for another array on mouse click. It currently loads the initial array into the empty MC perfectly. Now I need it to swap to var productTxt2 when the user presses buttonMC. My code is below.
AS2 code: var productTxt1 = new Array( "Product Name 1", "Price 1", "Headline 1", "Copy 1"); var productTxt2 = new Array( "Product Name 2", "Price 2", "Headline 2", "Copy 2"); _root.createEmptyMovieClip("productInfoMC", 0); [Code] .....
i had to klick the ball... that kinda teaches me something new instead of teaching me, whats wrong ok i really dont get what i messed up with my editing of the second post, which was just a copy of my first one (i dont get why).
I have trawled for days and found other tutorials, but not one specifically like this, where the user clicks on a link and the site pans to a specific section on the same page, an 'x y co-ordinate' I guess. I am looking to create basically the same style of movement from the above example.
While creating an application, I ran into a unique question. I did some research and understand KeyboardEvent and MouseEvent separately, but how would I code them to be dependent on each other?
Let's say I have a button. When you click this button, a number in a dynamic textbox will increment. If you were to be holding Ctrl, however, the number would decrement.
I am trying to have two guestures on a SpriteVisualElement which I thought should be pretty simple implemented: Mouse_Move for sweep Gestures and mouse click to enable.. So I have 2 Eventlisteners on my stage:
[Code]...
The main problem is that every type of sweeping on the screen also fires the taphandler().. how to identify the correct event? I tried to to my taphandler only if(!event.buttondown) but no success.
I want to create a high performance server in C# which could take about ~10k clients. Now i started writing a TcpServer with C# and for each client-connection i open a new thread. I also use one thread to accept the connections. So far so good, works fine.
The server has to deserialize AMF incoming objects do some logic ( like saving the position of a player ) and send some object back ( serializing objects ). I am not worried about the serializing/deserializing part atm.My main concern is that I will have a lot of threads with 10k clients and i've read somewhere that an OS can only hold like a few hunderd threads.
I am looking for a way to simulate a mouse hover/mouse click. What's happening is a bar is autoscrolling and checking to see if there is an active button 'below' it. Sort of like a bar rolling along a music staff and checking for notes.
I have this website I am developing. It has multiple pages that I would like to connect to each through a flash horizontal menu navigation. Here is a link to the site for your consideration. WebsiteI am trying to make it so that a mouse click is dispatched on the appropriate flash button when the page starts up so that the highlight menu tab will appear over the correct button.Here is the actionscript for the flash:
Code: import caurina.transitions.*; var button:MButton;
