I am trying to put a Flash ActiveX control into a Windows Form but I am running into a problem: a lack of documentation. The best I have found is a site called "F-IN-BOX" that has some documentation but much of the API is still a black box. For example, some property will take an integer or a string and provide no clue about what it wants. Another exanple is the FlashVersion() function that inexplicably returns 655361 on version 10.
Incidentally I'm having the same problem with Apple's Quicktime OCX. I've searched both sites and Google and I'm starting to wonder if either of these companies provide documentation for any of their products. Does anybody know where I can find documentation for either of them, even if it's the unofficial variety?
I've been working on a framework in AS3 that I want to release, but first I obviously need to prepare some documentation for it.I've noticed that quite a few sites have the exact same layout, functionality etc as Adobe Livedocs, which has let me to believe that there's something open source out there for creating online documentation.
Ideally the system would be specifically suited for documentation in ActionScript 3. I don't have a requirement in terms of the documentation being automatically generated either - if there's something out there that looks/works nice I'm happy to manually create the documentation (provided it comes with tools for easily adding classes, arguments, etc).
My external container isn't able to set FlashVars since I upgraded to Flash version 10.1.53.64. What's the matter ? A simple for loop didn't list anything in the loaderInfo.parameters object (for (var val:String in loaderInfo.parameters)).
It didn't happen with any older Flash version.

I likely have collected all information in the web, but still facing the problem.I am trying to host the Flash ActiveX in a C# program and establish two-way communication between the host application and the ActionScript contained in my SWF file.On the ActionScript side, I use the ExternalInterface class.[code]

I have a ActiveX control hosting a flash-player which is in turn running a flash file trying to access data from a web-address.
In an old Windows Application version of my application everything works fine and the flash file is able to access the web-content.
However, in a newer Console Appliction version of the application it can no longer access the web-content.
Is there some kind of difference between a Windows Application and a Console application in terms of security/permissions that might affect an ActiveX hosted flash-player?
Which implementation is running here: [URL] I have Vista Bussines SP2 but problem also exists on Windows 7 Home Premium. On IE 32 bit the capture image is flickering on my moves. This is very annoing. I compile my project with additional settings: -swf-version=12 -target-player=11.0 On for example Firefox this work much better but problem also exists. And external library is set to newest playerglobal.swc downloaded from Flash Adobe download site.
[URL] how to build ShockWave ActiveX in C++ builder 2010 as I had a transition from c++ builder 6 to c++ builder 2010 and much used to it, however it's possible to build it in c++ builder 6.
It's been a while since I've done any AS3 dev. but now I'm working with CS5. I remember back in the good ol' days of CS3, You opened it up and there was a whole list of classes and it allowed you to drill down into each and see great examples and full documentation. Now, whenever I click on help it brings up this awkward and overly complex AIR interface. I don't like this! Is there anything like the old interface?
Does anybody know of a tool that will allow me to create ASDoc style documentation with a Flash CS4/AS3 application? From what I hear ASDoc only works with Flex.
I am trying to host a flash object inside an CAxWindow, I have managed to insert a shockwaveflash (SWF) and its working fine. I am trying to find all available API's that are available in the flash ocx. I am unable to find any documentation for the functions in the IShockwaveFlash interface.I know that Adobe doesn't have a documentation for using flash in VC++ but I was wondering if anyone can point me to a place where I can find an UNOFFICIAL documentation for flash.ocx or code samples as the only API that I could find and I'm currently using is "PutMovie".
i'm writing pure ActionScript, without MXML, to create AIR applications.
when i try to reference the documentation by Command + Clicking on code (in this case i Command + Clicked on "Sprite") i receive the following error[code]...
The docs I can find for flash.globalization.DateTimeFormatter are here In those docs, the examples show the use of an important method called setDateTimeStyles(). However, there is no such documented method! Same goes for format().
I feel I'm missing something or am looking at dated/incomplete material (or am a complete idiot). Where is the correct/best documentation?
PS: I'm finding I have this general problem (missing/incomplete docs) quite frequently and this question could actually be "Where is the 'correct' flex/actionscript documentation? Or is it just bad?", but I'll be very specific (and non-inflammatory) to try and improve the odds of a clean answer...
does anyone know how/where to download actionscript 3 flash platform full documentation in packed HTML files. What I want is to have a local copy of the following doc: [URL] We are currently using a local copy of FLASH4 actionscript docs, which is quite out-of-date.
If your Flash app is in the middle of some code, such as a method, or the AS on a frame, and it gets a callback from an asynchronous event, how does it handle that? Is execution halted on the current code to handle the callback? Or does the currently executing code finish first?
I can't seem to find any white papers or documentation on the threading behind Flash.
In VB6 the main form loads a full screen .swf animation played by the ActiveX control ShockwaveFlash. If I rightclick on it (the control while playing) a small rectangular form says "About MacroMedia Flash Player 5" then the second form should be loaded (when animation is over) but Runtime error 401 says "Can't show non-modal form when modal form is displayed". I know the cause of this error and can fix it. But do you know a way about how to make ActiveX control ShockWaveFlash itself ( thru its properties maybe) not respond to right-clicks at runtime?
-----------------------
P.S No reason to right-click there, but as you know users can do anything.While the animation is playing mousepointer is set to invisible, yet still the error.
I just spent 3 days making a drop-down-button-menu. It looks great.I added it to the HTML of my website, but everytime you load the page, you have to download the ActiveX control...How is it that people have drop-down-button-menus that are flash-based, yet they don't make you download the ActiveX control? Should I just scrap my buttons and try to use CSS, or HTML, or Javascript?
I have an activeX control for a network camera when it is installed on my PC. I want to use that network camera in actionscript by loading its activeX control, but don't know how to do that.
I need to fetch a flex application from a process in C#.
How can i get access to the externalInterfaceAPI when the flex application is running as a Application?
EDIT: After further reading it looks like it is possible, as from what i understood, a flex stand alone application is a ActiveX "container", so what i need is to get access to the ActiveX container, and from there the externalInterface API.)
