Java :: Workaround To "selectFiles" Function Call On Flash Object?
May 16, 2011
I'm more of a server-side and javascript programmer. I have never done much with Flash. I have a robust html form based on flash based swfuploader and I need to test it with Selenium 2 / WebDriver.The problem is, thatmovieContent.CallFunction('<invoke name="selectFiles" returntype="javascript">' + __flash__argumentsToXML(argumentArray, 0) + '</invoke>');\is not supported in Flash 10 ...What are we supposed to do ? If it was possible I could js.executeScript(script); But now I have to do some sort of movieContent.click() in my java junit/selenium tests but it doesn't trigger the select file window, it doesn't do anything.
I have a RemoteObject returning a 'Schedule' class. I've created a client side RemoteClass to map to it. All properties of the class instance are coming in fine. I just not clear on how I go about calling methods on the class. How would I call a setter on startdate?
package classes.remote { [Bindable] [RemoteClass(alias="com.site.data.schedule.Schedule")] public class Schedule { public var id:int; public var modifydate:Date; public var startdate:Date; public var enddate:Date; }}
here is the action code I add to the last frame of the flash object
URLLoader("javascript:mainFunction();");
The object loads but the function is not called. I can call the function other ways such as using an "onclick = mainFunction()" event on a button for example.
I have an AS3 program that calls a function multiple times. The function must return multiple variables, so I created a class for the function to declare an object containing all of these variables. For example, here's my class:
package { public class PER { [Code].....
Let's say the calling program calls the function, which returns the variables into data_set1 (where data_set1 depends on input variables arg1, arg2, arg3) using:
var data_set1:PER = function_name(arg1, arg2, arg3);
The calling program does some stuff, then calls the function again, but returns the variables into a new variable name, data_set2:
var data_set2:PER = function_name(arg4, arg5, arg6);
My intention is that data_set1 and data_set2 are different (e.g. not linked together).
My question is, given that arrays are passed by reference, will data_set1 be modified to agree with data_set2 upon the 2nd function call? Why or why not?
How to call java/c++ methods from flash cs3/flash 8.0 ? i required both flash and c++/java codes... tell me wher to keep those places.... to run and see the desired output..
I have a swf that should be able to load another swf in runtime. Then I would like the loaded swf to call a method of the parent, loader swf, like this:
Code: parent.closeForm; But when I compile it, it throws this error: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property closeForm through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObjectContainer.
I've tried: Code: if (parent != stage){ parent.closeForm; }
So flash won't run this code at compile time, but it always throws that error. Here is the code of the LOADER swf:
Code: private function loadForm():void { var loader:Loader = new Loader() var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(formPath); loader.load(mRequest); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFormCompleteHandler); [Code] .....
How could I write an expression that should call a function of the LOADER swf without having this compile-time error?
Im trying to use flash to call up a java script window I have two buttons to open 2 different windows on the same page but the problem is for some reason only one link is opened by the two buttons. Each button opens the montage link any help as to why the mogo button dosn't open the right link? Below is all my code
<----------My flash code for the buttons----------->
I need to get a javascript var in my Flash application. I like to be able to just set a variable in the javascript (client constraints) rather than define a function.
Can this be done? I am trying to use the ExternalInterface.call()
I tried with flex and java in the backend. In this, I am able to upload files till 100 MB using remote object (blazeDs) where we will read the file as byte array and send it to the java method. If the file size exceeds after that, then I get the run time error in IE.
Assume I have the following java class public class Square {
[Code]...
Inside an actionscript class, using RemoteObject, I invoke the java method SquareDAO.findById(Long id) an I get an Object with the following: But I don't get the area. How can I invoke the method getArea() ?
I am making a Scrollbar component and I want a script to call a calculation function for resizing the scrollbar when a new data is loaded.I was experimenting with Object.watch but it's use is beyond me. I don't understand if its the thing I need.Can Object.watch call a function when say a dynamic textfield's data is changed?
I have video player chrome buttons designed with HTML/CSS. The full screen button needs to tell Flash to go full screen, but Adobe forbids this Javascript-to-Actionscript interaction.I'm making a web based video player that supports many plugins - Flash, VLC, HTML5, iPhone's Quicktime etc... I would like all these players to share the same chrome buttons - play, pause, mute, volume slider, resolution picker, and full screen. These buttons are layed out with HTML/CSS.[code]This has caused me a lot of pain and agony. Whenever I need to make a change, I update the HTML and JS. This change is reflected across the VLC, HTML5, and whatnot players. But since Flash does not share the same HTML chrome buttons, I have to duplicate the changes in Flash/AS. So I'm looking for a better solution that reduces the amount of duplicate code. It doesn't have to be stylistically clean. I just want easy maintainability.
I have a website with a simple Flash animation behind some text and semi-transparent images as a background. I have used swfobject to embed it and set wmode opaque to make it display correctly in most browsers.For browsers without Flash, the user gets a static background image instead and would not know they were missing anything. However, Android users get the flash background on top of everything as per the known issue with how Flash content is rendered in the Android browser making the site unusable.
I have added a crude browser sniff javascript function to the swfobject code to prevent it from loading for any user agent whith 'Mobile' in it:
<script type="text/javascript"> if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Mobile') == -1) {[code].....
The only problem I have left is for Android users browsing with 'Mobile View' turned off as the user agent pretends to be a desktop version of Safari (I think). I do not wish to disable the Flash animation for all Safari users. Is there a way of blocking it for just Andriod users - even if they have 'Mobile View' disabled?
Possible ideas include:detecting the Flash version with JavaScript or Flash. Does Android use specific versions (version numbers) of Flash which are different from the desktop equivalent? blocking the specific user agents used by Android devices with 'Mobile View' disabled.
There was a recent Flash vulnerability found that allows for the potential of malicious attacks when someone uploads a flash file or a file embedded with flash (for example, a gif overloaded)According to the article, even a simple image can be hijacked.In php, the typical ways of checking a file type are by extension, and by mime-type.Using the simple example of an image, how would php properly vet a file (as is recommended in the article). Mime types can be spoofed, as can extension, and if the file is piggy-backed, what is the workaround?
I'm working on a function that replaces an existing movie clip with a symbol from the library and then designates an "updater" function for the new instance. I have the first part working as intended, but I'm not sure how to approach creating the "updater" function.I've considered using event listeners, but I'm not sure if that is my best option.The following is a excerpt from my code. This code is on the timeline of a movie clip. The movie clip is on the main timeline with an instance name of slideUpPanel_mc.
ActionScript Code: var window_mc:MovieClip = window_mc; //window_mc as it exists on the timeline var windowUpdateFunc:Function; //reference to updater function in window_mc
How do you call the microphone built into a computer to turn on when a user visits a site? I've heard that there a number of different ways to do so, but I'd like some advice on the best way.
To provide a meta-level view, I'm planning on having the mic pick up noise and display it as a graphic equalizer (of sorts) but not record it.
I get the alert but I can't get the lightbox window to display. When my as code makes the ExternalInterface call I get what looks like a page refresh and a blank browser window.
