It goes like this, we need to detect if the display is a Projector (or if the system is connected to a Projetor).the catch is this should be done from within the browser.so is it possible to do so by using anFlashActiveX (this does constrains to a single browser, so not an option)searching so far only reaveals display resolution. expecting if there is something still out there.
View 2 RepliesI want to know the type and version the browser that the user is running from within my Flex 4 application. I know I can get that information by using ExternalInterface to call Javascript. I know I can get that information from the server. I'm looking for a way to get that information directly from actionscript. I mean, isn't there a global variable or something that keeps this information?

How can detect that the flash movie projector is active window
View 1 RepliesI am building little games never anything too big. I'm having fun. I'm getting the following error message 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.
It's got to do with the varObject variable I pass into the hitTestObject (at the end of the code) a. I exported the moveclip for actionscript and gave it an instance name so what's the problem???

So for instance, I've got three .as files called 'Helicopter.as, Game.as, Blue.as'
and I also have a .fla file called Helicopter.fla (These files are all suppose to link together, to make the helicopter game) . In the Game.as file, I have the following;
[Code]....
Flash doesn't recognise the original Helicopter symbol (in the Helicopter.fla file, because I deleted it). But I want the system to detect the 'circle' drawn using API (In the Helicopter.as file). And I have no idea how to how to name the API drawn circle 'Helicopter', thus I'm getting an error. So how do I name the API circle to 'Helicopter', so the Game.as file recognises it.
To clarify when I ask about browser to browser communication I mean without a server in between forwarding message. I would like to implement something like this for a game. If p2p in websockets isn't possible are there similar alternatives?
View 1 RepliesI am using flash 8 or flash mx, and I want to open a web site and some pdf files. I have my projector set to fullscreen but when I open a web site or a pdf file these files open behind my projector so my final user doesn't realize that the pdf files or the web site is displayed. How can I force the web site or the pdf file to open on top of my projector or is there a way to minimize my projector when I click these buttons so the user realizes that these files opened.
View 1 Repliesall my getURLs launch the browsers fine, but if the user allready has a window open, the browser launches behind the projector causing the user to minimize and tab over to the web browser. this only seems to happen on a pc.is there any way to attach something to either the first frame of the flash to close any open browser windows? i know this is a bit of an annoyance for me, as well as many others, from a usablitiy standpoint, but this is the last tweak my client is not budging on.[code]

I really need your help on a project I'm doing for work. I have searched the posts but haven't been able to fix my issue. (I'm using Flash CS5 and AS3.)I've recently been given Flash + the job of creating flash presentations for flat-screen displays around the building. The movie only needs to be played on click every now and again so it isn't running 24/7 or anything.So far I've managed to create a simple vector-based movie (a couple of minutes long) and created a projector, which runs perfectly on my computer.I eventually need the exe. to run on the following computer/screen we've already bought for the job:At the moment the movie runs significantly slower on this pc, with the frame-rate struggling, especially with some movie clip zooms and alpha fades.Have you guys got any ideas what I can do to increase playback performance? Have I made any newbie mistakes? How would you maximise frame-rate performance fullscreen without losing too much quality. I've created the movie to the resolution of the screen (1366 x 768). Was this the right thing to do or should I create it smaller then blow it up?
The movie plays fine if I exit fullscreen and reduce the window to about half size. Being new to Flash, I'm afraid I don't really understand why this is the case? The processer is running high but isn't at max, and with 2GB memory I thought it would be able to cope.I've tried lowering the frame-rate from 24 to 20, turning off hardware acceleration on the projector, chopping the movie into smaller swf's to play arfter each other. Nothing seems to be making much difference with those zooms at fullscreen. I've also read that preloaders don't do much for projectors so I can't use that. Is it better to embed text with the swf or have it separate?I really would like to avoid this but, Is the only solution to re-do the movie with less zooms etc?As you can see I haven't got much scripting other than frame 1 and play movie clip commands (not shown), would creating the zooms in AS3 improve the performance?

I have this code, and in the end, where I am trying to removeChild(ball) I get an error:

we are developing a small application wih Flash CS3 which will be released as a standalone Flash Projector.exe.
We want to have a link to our website in the flash application that should open our webpage in the Default Browser of the System.
We tried:
PHP Code:
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.google.com"),"_blank");
But when I click on that link in our standalone.exe, on my system "ultraedit" gets opened and it tries to open a path on the local system and the webpage adress after that. "C:ProjectsInflationhttp:\www.google.de".
I have a Flex application that connects to a BlazeDS server using the StreamingAMF channel. On the server-side the logic is handled by a custom adapter that extends ActionScriptAdapter and implements FlexSessionListener and FlexClientListener interfaces.
I am asking how can I detect which "flex-client" has closed a connection when for example the user is closing the browser? (so I can clean some infos inside the database)
I tried using the following:
1. To manually manage the command messages:
@Override
public Object manage(final CommandMessage commandMessage) {
switch (commandMessage.getOperation()) {

I am so stuck with this I have a full flash site and a HTML5 site (made in Hype)All I want is the index file to detect if Flash is installed, if yes go to the flashsite and if not, then it should, load the html website.Here is my index file. Where do I put the redirect code?
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

This is my code currently it checks a csv document to display correct advert. Projector keeps on crashing
ActionScript Code:
//import controls
import flash.events.Event;
import fl.containers.UILoader;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[Code] .....
Need to refine code, I thought maybe using a Loader instead of the UILoader so that I could use the unloadAndStop command to release memory leaks.
I'd like to make a call to a function and send either a string or an integer...
function getImage(val:*):void{
if(val == String){
switch(val){
case'next':
loadNext();
[Code[ .....
and vary my function accordingly...
Hi guys I get this coercion error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Shape@41754601 to flash.display.
When I create an instance of a MovieClip from my library:
var childmc:ChipEasy = new ChipEasy(); Canvas.Map.Tiles.addChild(childmc);
When I try to access all the children like: for (var i:int=0; i<Canvas.Map.Tiles.numChildren-1; i++){
var mc:MovieClip = Canvas.Map.Tiles.getChildAt(i);
}
I'm currently working on editing the pages on my website but for some reason these errors are apearing. Also some of the text that should be on the .swf disapears. Any help will be apreciated
This is error I am getting:

I'm using a Flash tool to transfer data to Java. I'm having problems when it comes to sending multiple objects at once. The objects being sent are just generic Object objects, so it's not a case of needed to register a class alias or anything.
Sending one object works fine. Once I start sending multiple objects (putting the same Objects in an Array and sending that), it starts getting weird. Up to three objects in an Array seems to work fine. More than that I get different errors in the readObject() function, such as:
[code]...
If it's going to crash with an "unknown AMF type error", it does so immediately i.e. when we try to read the object, and not when it's trying to read a subobject. In stepping through the read code, it seems when I pass an array of objects, if the length is <= 4, it reads the length right. If the length is bigger than that, it reads it's length as 4.
Is there a way to detect the type of a DisplayObject with a switch case statement?I noticed that you can check if the displayobject compared to the type returns true or false.
Trace(mydisplayObj is Sprite); //return true or false
Trace(mydisplayObj is MovieClip); //return true or false
But isn't there an option to get the type of the displayObject directly?
like,
switch (typeof(mydisplayObj)) {
case Sprite:
break;
[code]....
Has anyone used or is aware of a service browser to test AMF calls?I am looking for a tool similar to ZamfBrowser ( http:[url].... ), but one that works for the Java environment.ZamfBrowser is geared towards AMFPHP.The idea here is to provide a service browser, that allows developers to test Java services using the AMF protocol, without having to go through the Flex UI all the time. There has got to be something out there already for this, but I can't seem to locate anything..... It's kind of funny and strange that a service browser exists for AMFPHP but not for regular AMF calls in a Java environment.
I would imagine something exists under Blaze or LCDS? ...Trying to find it in the docs but can't seem to find anything ....The best alternative I can think of at the moment is to use FlexMonkey to record stuff, and then to simulate it using that....which is okay I guess but still sucks because you have to go in and create the Flex UI first, whereas with something like ZamfBrowser, you simply point it at the service calls,it tells the server-side developers if their code works, etc. generates the required as3 classes for you... and makes the integration process much easier in a large team.
I want to create an application for P2P video transmission. In more details, I need the following:
-User can switch on a web camera by clicking a button in an application.
-Application starts to take images from the web camera and sends them to a certain location (given by a port and IP address).
-Application starts to accept images send by another application and display them (images) in a window.
I would prefer to have everything in a browser. I know that everything can be done with Flash Player from Adobe (an example is Url...But I would like to know if the same can be done with JavaScripts.I am sure it the application can be written in Java. But can I use Java to have everything in a Browser.
My client needs to let a user record a message from the browser, then export the message as an audio file (e.g., WAV).How is this best accomplished? Flash, Java, HTML5? By best, I mean something that is straightforward to implement and also broadly supported.
View 3 RepliesI 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.
