Actionscript 3 - Sample Code For Aggressive Flash Ads (browser Takeovers, Floaters, Etc)?
Jul 13, 2011
I need sample code for a school project that involves showcasing/demonstrating stereotypical annoying Flash advertising tactics—for instance: spanning the whole screen, disabling the back button, making you wait before the close button appears, spoofing a virus scan, spawning a ton of popups, etc.
I have to turn in my own Flash source code for this project. I'm new to Flash, though, and I'd really like to find some sample code to work from or even just direct links to .swf files.Of course, these malicious and intrusive ads are everywhere when one doesn't want them, but now I can't find any good examples. I've spent hours clicking around on the seediest sites: free Viagra, guaranteed lottery winnings, URLs longer than my address bar—the whole gamut, basically.
I'm using Firefox with Adblock to inspect the list of blocked items on each site. I've also been using Firefox's "Page Info" command to inspect for media, but so far the only Flash ads that have been showing up are pretty tame.So can any of you point me to some obnoxious Flash ads? Anything I can grab with a browser addon like Flashgot would be great. Source code would be ideal, though I don't expect to find that.

Does flash pause its execution somehow if the browser tab in which its residing is inactive? developed a multiplayer game using cirrus and when I tried to play it by switching tabs, aking a move in each tab, there were some inconsistencies regarding the way the game executed as if the inactive tab pauses the flash execution and then resume once it was active.

difference between key code and character code. For example, the number 1 (one) and the character ! (bang) both have the same key code but different character codes. Likewise, the number 7 from the row of numbers and the number 7 from the numpad have different key codes but the same character codes.
I'm programming a music rhythm game in Adobe Flex and would like to bind keyboard keys. This isn't a problem, but I certainly would have a problem, say, setting the default keys to A, S, D, and F and telling the user that this is the case.If you take a look at the documentation for flash.ui.Keyboard, you'll see that there are constants for keyboard keys to key codes. However, these are only available in Adobe AIR and not the browser. This makes sense since not all operating systems and keyboards are alike (or present!), so key codes can vary.
So, how can I assign default keys that have meaning instead of picking key codes and praying?My only sane thought is to store the character codes for the key bindings and then provide an character code to String mapping so I can tell the user what to press. However, my gut tells me that this will break in subtle or not-so-subtle ways. Like CAPSLOCK.

I am working on a game. All behavior was as expected, and I got no crashes when testing on my machine using FlashDevelop and the Flash Player. But if I open the .swf in Chrome directly or through the Kongregate test area, the game crashes 100% of the time that that function is called.

The selectDebater function is not new, and has never had a problem.

My sample templates are missing, all that shows now are Cateregory: Advertising and different size banners. I searched my harddrive and found the rood folder where they are stored but only the folder for Advertising exist. I haven't deleted anything, so could it have been a glitch at installation, I had startup problems with Flash constantly crashing at the splash screen and finally had to uninstall and reinstall.

If I wanted to code a desktop-based game, I could pull some XNA code and UDP sockets and make a decent multiplayer game. I would have an extremely clear of how to code the game I wanted.But if I wanted to code a browser-based online multiplayer game, how would I do it?ou can't use XNA....I've been looking at some questions and I'm seeing PHP and ASP.NET and Silverlight and Flash and Java as the alternative languages...I really don't understand how it works. I mean, for a desktop-based game, you're opening a UDP socket and accepting clients and transferring data, updating player states, drawing the results using XNA. But in a browser, how do you open a socket and stuff? How does that concept work, communicating to people in realtime through a web-browser.

do you know any browser-side component, in HTML/Javascript, Flash, Applet or Silverlight, that would allow source code edition with syntax highlighting and auto-completion.
CodeMirror has a good syntax highlighting support but does not seem to support auto-completion.If no such editor exists do you know any way to implement auto-completion using HTML and javascript or any other browser-side technology ?

where is the source code for the multicastplayer sample that is located in <installed directory>AdobeFlash Media Server 4 oolsmulticastmulticastplayer directory? The StrobeMediaPlayer does not use the same html code and does not playback a rtmfp multicast stream.This is the code used in the multicast sample player to pass the manifest.f4m file into the player to playback a Multicast Stream which is not used in the StrobeMedia player sample.
var flashvars = {}; <!-- Add manifest file location e.g. flashvars.manifest = "manifest.f4m"; --> flashvars.manifest = "manifest.f4m"; <!-- Enable debugging --> <!-- flashvars.debug = "true"; --> <!-- Adjust buffer time  - default is 4 seconds --> <!-- flashvars.bufferTime = "10.0";

I'm working the last two weeks on a module which uses computeSpecturm() to analyze FFT data from a mic. I'm currnetly trying to figure out a way to detect the pitch on each 'sample' of this sound. Does any one know how to find the fundamental frequencty or how to use auto-correclation on the FFT to get the pitch?

The reference doc ( here ) tells us to download the sample application: Included in the project distribution is a collection of samples called the Spring BlazeDS Integration Test Drive. This samples project is set up to be built with Maven and then imported into Eclipse for running the application via WTP.
The samples in question, must either be spring-flex-testdrive-spring3.zip which is linked to in the document or spring-flex-testdrive-spring3.zip based on the notion that this is release 1.5.0.M1 (docs and samples).After I configure maven as described with the proper environment variable:
MAVEN_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"
I then execute (per instruction) the command to install: mvn clean install from the extracted samples directory (in my case C:spring-flex-testdrive ), I receive the following error:
C:spring-flex-testdrive>mvn clean install
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[ERROR] The build could not read 1 project -> [Help 1]
[ERROR]
[code]....
I have managed to get a "Spring BlazeDS" application working (with Flex), but now I'm at the point where I need to implement security, and if the samples would compile and run correctly.

in other words, suppose I want to send data, like text, programmatically from a Windows app (such as a browser plugin) to a Flash app running in the browser. Well, conceptually, an example of this might be a Flash instant messenger with a textbox and button "Send"; so let's say I want to be able to programmatically paste the text and press Send or otherwise activate it. That's NOT what I am trying to do here in reality (i.e., no,I am not trying to spam other people's chat rooms or anything)but just an illustration of a similar situation.I can include in it whatever widget or hack that may be necessary.The reason why this problem is arising for me is that AFAIK the SDK that is providing me the data I want cannot be directly accessed from Flash, so I need a way to pipe the data from a regular app into Flash. can I have the Flash app interact with other apps through localhost IP? Or are there draconian restrictions on which server Flash in browser can and cannot interact?

I've placed some of my videos flv and f4v in the vod/media and webroot/vod folders with sample files provided. My files were checked with flvcheck and passed. When I load the embed code into a Dreamweaver HTML file and save the page to the webroot folder as instructed, the provided sample files play in my Firefox browser. However, when I edit the code to insert my files in strict accordance with the instructions concerning codecID and extension, I get the following message on the Browser "We are unable to connect to the content you've requested." My videos are less than 30 minutes in length and were encoded H.264 using Adobe Media Encoder and as I said passed the flvcheck.

I have a PHP mailer form on my site which needs to be published in action script2 to work, but I also have a script set up to open browser windows of a certain size & location which needs actionscript 1 to work? The PHP mailer form has a "Name" field, "Email" field & "Message" field, theses can all be reset with a button. The button clears off any text in the 3 boxes to wipe them clean. The script on the reset button is:
on(release) {
_root.myForm.formNameField.txt = ""
_root.myForm.formEmailField.txt = ""[code].....
This works fine with section script 2 but not with as1. Does anyone know of a script that resets the .text field on as1 Alternatively is there any way of opening browser windows from a flash movie with browser win controls, eg. centre win, no scrollbars.
