Flash :: Run Without The Application Opening A Browser?
Feb 28, 2011
I'd really prefer my actionscript 3 project to launch in a debugger window outside of a browser, but it always opens into a browser. I browsed through the preferences
my organization is in the process of building a touchscreen interactive kiosk. We've designed a flash application to run on the kiosk to display information about our business, our publications, etc. We'd also like to be able to access our website through the flash application. We're having trouble figuring out how to do that effectively. The best we can do is to have the application launch Internet Explorer in a seperate window. This isn't so bad if we run IE in kiosk mode, however it becomes difficult/impossible to navigate back to the flash application (or to close the browser) without a mouse and keyboard (which users won't have access to).Wondering if there's a way to open or access a browser inside of the actual flash application, so users can access the flash menu, home buttons, etc and easily navigate back to the information contained in the rest of the flash application.
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:
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.
I'm trying to figure out why my Flash button opens the link in a new browser tab, when it should just replace the page with the new one.
I'm using Flash CS4 with AS3 code, the button in Flash receives variables from an XML file and then knows what URL to pass when the user clicks the button. "Request" is the variable being passed for the URL. The website uses PHP and everything works except opening a new tab.
The main line of code for this is:
navigateToURL(request, '_blank'); [I know this WILL open new tab]
I have a flash form with input text fields. I am sending the data to a 3rd party server. I can send the information via getURL but I want to send the data without opening a browser window so I am utilizing sendAndLoad. It works great locally but not through a browser (tested in IE and Firefox). I have verified that all the variables and urls are in the correct case, I have tried both Post and Get, I have tried network and local..
Here is the file - click on the second image...[URL] Here is the code... on (release) { if (first_name.text.length == 0) { error.text = "** First Name Required **"; } else if (last_name.text.length == 0) { error.text = "** Last Name Required **"; [Code] .....
but now I have a new one! After fifth click browser keeps opening hundreds of new tabs! I think it's because flash keeps playing movie. There must be some kind of loop and every loop flash opens new tab. I tried to add stop(); in few different places but still no result.
I have an .exe in fullscreen mode with different links. If I click on one link, the browser opens up in front of the .exe and shows the link. but if I leave the browser open and go to the .exe and click on another link, this link will be open on a new tab, and the browser wont be brought back in fornt of the .exe. so the user wont know that the link has been open.
I have a main contents page and what I want to do is when the user click the button for a section then the relevant swf will load whilst the contents page closes. If this can't be done then is there a way to just get the relevant swf to open up in a new flash window?
I have done the following:
PercentageOfAQuantityBtn.addEventListener(MouseEve nt.CLICK, GoPercentageOfAQuantity); function GoPercentageOfAQuantity(evt:MouseEvent):void { navigateToURL (new URLRequest ("02 Percentages.swf")); }
This code however loads the swf file in my internet browser instead of a new flash window.
I'm developing a Application in Flash Builder 4.5 to control an server application, also not a classical Website. All is Spark and I set the minHeight and minWidth-Properties for the , because i have an Image and Navigators, and there becomes a strange effect, when the browserwindow is sliding smaller that the min-Properties.The content and there scrollbars are already controlled over the parent containers, thats not the probelm.
Summary: What i expect from a upToDate-Application is:When the Browserwindow is larger than the min-Properties, but too small for the content, the Application respectively the container should control the scroll bars.If is the Browser-Window smaller than the min-Properties, i expecting scollbars from the browser. I think, in this case, the html-wrapper needs knowledge about the min-properties.
I need some little 3D rendering in my browser application. Unfortunatly the Internet Explorer 8 is not going to support WebGL, Canvas 2D or SVG. And the Windows XP users can't install the IE9 (which supports at least Canvas 2D). What do you think about Plugin-based alternatives?
I mean Silverlight with XNA 3D seems not to be supported any longer.Flash has a bad reputation if I ask Apple. What do you think about Unity3D?Are there others?
i am loading some pages/images from some folder whose path is specified in the Xml used like this:
<page src="user/_IMAGES_//image_0002.png" />
I am using Chinese /Japanese text in this Now the problem is that when i run it in the flash it loads those pages and when i load it in the browser then that file doesn't load anything.
I have a textField on my stage named 'adBuy', which when clicked I want to open up my browser with the defined in URL request. However when I click on the 'adBuy' textField on my SWF it opens Coda, the piece of software I'm using to write this small piece of code?[code]
I am creating a conduit bending tutorial. On the main timeline of this tutorial SWF, I have a button that loads a trig calculator into an existing movie on the stage. I would like to have this calculator open in seperate internet browser window outside of my SWF.
Ok, basically so when you click my movieclip button called "Email" it opens ur browser, and emails the message you put in the input box called "email_text", with the title you put in the input box called "email_title".I know php, and html, and other languages, is there a way to use PHP in flash? or have the php in a document and call a function in that php document and email it?
IE
function phpemail(msg, title) { mailto(msg, title) }
etc...
thats not proper php code, but an example and in flash open that php file and call it?
I followed this tutorial [URL] put the proper actions on my button, the button calls the window in a blank page but it does not have the settings in the javascript no scroll, no resize and a preset window size.
The tut is from Flash 5 and that was before the "ACruncontent" file flash uses now in cs3. window opening the way I need it is critical for a client.
I am trying to make a button to execute exe files. so I made a windows projector file and its working fine. But the problem is, i need this to happend when working in browser. how to embed the exe files in browser or atleast in another swf file, so that i can call .exe in browser itself.
Is there a way to launch an Adobe Air Application from the browser? I am developing an application that uses webcam, and when the user enter on my site, I need to start this adobe air application installed on the user computer.
I'm wondering how I can display an Open File dialog box, select a text file, put the contents of the text file into a textarea component via a button... I'm not really used to Flex so I don't know where to start or exactly how I'd go about doing it? I'm doing this for an Air application.
I am trying to modify this tutorial on exporting the flash movie to a jpg. On the completion of the flash file, using AS2, there is this method:
Code:
// copy is complete, send the result LoadVars to PHP listener.onComplete = function(target:MovieClip, load_var:LoadVars){ loader.label = "sending to php..."
[code]....
so i mean...I am using sendAndLoad as appropriately right? then why does my flash movie STILL open a new window (pixels.php) after the script gets to this point? I am also open to new methods of redirecting, assume i cant stop pixels.php from opening, how do I close the current window, so at least only 1 window will be open to the user?

I'm using getURL to send a string to a 4D webserver for tracking purposes. I'm using "_self" for the window and not using GET or Post and the string is the full http address including the path pointing to the 4d app with the variable appended to the string in XML format...the send works and is recorded by the 4d server..but a browser window opens which is don't want (it's unneeded and interrupts the flash)..is there a way to send with getURL without invoking a browser?
I've trawled the forums but still trying to get new browser window to open from my site so far have used Properties to add URL which works fine - but doesn't open a new browser window - not sure if this (text) needs to become a button with actions
I've got one main SWF loading other SWF files and these need to run a php script. I'm nearly there, but need the php to run in the background without opening up another browser window.
I have a problem. I have flash application which loads data from XML files. When I start this application in Google Chrome all XML files loads except one, the largest (100kB).
