Javascript :: Complex FlashVar Objects Using SWFObject?
Nov 10, 2010
Is it possible to pass native JavaScript objects such as arrays and hash-map-like objects to Flash Player with SWFObject?
I basically need to pass an array of objects to Flash from JavaScript in the Flash variables, so this is my code:
[Code]....
When I get the object in Flex, I simply get a String that looks like this: "[Object object], [Object object]" which leads me to believe that my array is being serialized into a String before entering Flash. Is there any known workaround?
And yes, I do need to pass Flash variables in this manner, since they'll key off some loading which is necessary to do before the application starts.

let suppose i have a object named "data" which has a callBack function named "closeItem" which does something. So i have flash file which has a close button. on click of that i am calling this function which closes this item. So issue is? If i pass this "closeItemFunction" as global function this works fine. but if a pass this function as a "data.closeItem" this doesn;t work throwing some falsh error. so i just wanna ask that "does flash only call gobal scoped javascript function" ??

Is there a way I can pass complex objects like sprites or timers through LocalConnection? It seems like you can naively pass simple objects like String, Number, Array thru the LocalConnection. But I can't seem to send other data types.I read that you have to use the method "registerClassAlias()" within the receiving SWF file before that SWF file can accept complex objects. For example, when I attempt to send instances of Sprites or Timers, I get the following error:
"Error #2044: Unhandled AsyncErrorEvent:.text=Error #2095:flash.net.LocalConnection was unable to invoke callback sendState.error=TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Object@b9210b1 to flash.utils.Timer."
How can I send complex data types or are some data types not send-able?

I have been trying to fix my collision handling for hours now, but it seems like I am running in circles. To be blunt, my collision handling sucks. It is easy to break, and hardly works on complex objects(like water in my case, see the test at megaswf . com / serve / 1577272)
For collision detection I am using the collision detection kit, or CDK.My level is made up of different large MCs, such as a "wall" MC containing all of the smaller walls, such as water, a tree, or a wall. CDK allows me to hittest the single walls by hittesting the large one, and not each one individually, making it easier for myself.My code has a lot of repetition(8 directional movement), so I will put a "//..." to simplify.
Main.as:
ActionScript Code:
public class Main extends MovieClip[code]......
I have literally been working on this all day, and only feel like I'm making it worse every time I change something. You don't have to spoon-feed me code, the idea should be enough...

Are there any libraries for animation groups of objects in as3? I need something like this: for example, I specify an array of images and creates the animation of all objects in the array - fireworks, the spiral vortex, 3D rotation, undulating, etc. Tweenlite and other libraries not fit, because there is no pattern complex motion.
I need to quickly apply complex animation paths to the set of objects.

have a imageHolder_mc wich is calling the image from the local drive / server, and this container is inside of PictureHold_mc and that inside of Image01_btn.image01_btn.pictureHold_mc.imageHold01_mcand all this for 1 image tobe displayed in the website. But I am going to have something like 300. This is for example HomePage to ProductPage to SpecificIndividualProduct.I have created an instance but DO I NEED TO DUPLICATE ALL _btn and _mc all the way down? Or is there any better ways.And next question. I have done Home Page with 18 images called from the local drive but despite of Preloader showing 100% loaded page look empty for about 30 sec. and suddenly all images starts popping out ramdomly.

I have a flash file with an xml file as flashvars. when I use this code it works in every browser, but not in IE 7 or higher.
OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
WIDTH="530" HEIGHT="410" id="usa_locator" ALIGN="">[code]....
After reading a lot, SWFObject seem to be a good option. All u need to do is:
1- Include swfobject.js in header
2- Create an empty div for the flash object to be included
<div id="myContent">
<p>Alternative content</p>
</div>[code].....
The only problem I have is: I don't know how to pass the flashvars via a url for an xml file. It seems to me that SWFObject does not support this. Instead, you need to create a list of flashvars as
var flashvars = {
name1: "hello",
name2: "world",[code]....

Am I using the code improperly or is there a flaw in SWFObject? If you go to the URL below you can see that it the flash file (an MP3 player) shows up perfectly fine in Chrome. However, in both Firefox and IE8 it loads a blank white box. If you mouse over the box the pointer changes to a hand as if its registering the buttons, just not actually displaying them. Link: [URL] (MP3 player should be displaying in the right-hand empty column)

Several months ago for a project at work i developed a video player using flash, external interface and swfobject.js. I used external interface to facilitate communication between javascript and actionscript. This works great. Currently I am working on an extension to this that requires me to extrapolate logic from what i already written. I am using the same swf file in both applications, but in the extension i can't get the flash object to recognize my calls. Since i am using the same swf object i know that my problem is in the javascript, i just don't know where. I am using the JQuery Library. Without further adieu here's my code.

Having a problem with SWFObject reporting the correct error message for users running OSX 10.5 and below. (Currently getting the "Unsupported Operating System" swf loaded with links for the user to update there flash player) The problem with this is proceeding to the default links provided causes conflict with OSX 10.5 and below since Adobe directs them to update to Flash 11. Which will not work on that os! So what I'm trying to figure out is, IF I can detect OSX 10.5 and below with SWFobject and direct them to a 'noflash' method (ie: if you would have no flash installed to begin with).

I have a chat application that I built using Flex. The application on page load is hidden by setting the <object> in the page height to 0px. I did this because I need to be able to talk to the swf with javascript and setting the object to hidden really does "hide" it. In other words it treats the swf like it is not loaded on the page at all.I have an HTML button on the page that says "chat". When you click the button a couple of things happen. First I show the swf by setting the <object> height to 330px and I also tell the swf what person I am going to be chatting with by passing in a user name variable using javascript.On Windows using FF and IE my javascript can't find the swfobject.getObjectById("myswf") if the <object> height is set to 0px. Sometimes it can't find the swf at all event if height is set to 300px.The javascript calls work perfectly on OS X in any browser and it works on windows using Safari.

For my current project I am working on a home page that has a series of tabs above a content box that each execute an ajax script to load new content into the content box. However, some of these pages contain a flash object called with SWFObject and when the ajax script calls the page, the SWFObject javascript is not executed and I am left with the no flash support error message.
I have tried defining a function for each video call (short of just designing a single function and passing variables to it) and having the function be called as part of the ajax function but I am left with the same results. I am not opposed to using something other than SWFObject though I have been lead to believe it is the best solution currently.

Is it possible to use Flash JavaScript API with YouTube videos? The only function that I got to work reasonably is "Zoom". TotalFrames() gives "1" and TCurrentFrame('/') is always "0". Other functions seem to do nothing. For testing this I'm just using the live Google Playground Demo with "ytplayer" as the movie object. Most of what I want to do can be done with the Google API, but I still feel uncomfortably unclear on the three way relationship of YouTube videos, swfobject, and Flash.

As you can tell by the title, I am having some trouble with AS3 ExternalInterface and jQuery / swfobject.

It's giving the first alert ('init') but then not doing the last one. I'm completely baffled and hope someone can point out my mistakes! (there's bound to be a massively obvious one somewhere)

I have several variables which i use to call flash movie, but i dont want to include that on document.ready because first i need one variable from jquery ajax response.
var flashvars = {
"debug.enabled":"true",
"background": "#000",
"uploadUrl": "UploadImage.ashx?id=" + var_from_ajax}
I have defined var_from_ajax outside document.ready.
My Ajax success function is
success: function(data) { var_from_ajax = data.id; swfobject.embedSWF("movie.swf", "divID", "600", "400", "10.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);}
But looks like i cannon embed my movie with variable from ajax request..

I am developing an animated homepage for a Flash-HTML hybrid website, and for the sake of standards, my solution is proving difficult.
Here is the run-down:
For Flash users, HTML page loads a variable-height AS3 Flash movie that will start at 556 pixels high, and after finishing its animation sequence, tween via Actionscript + JavaScript to 250 pixels high.
To kick off this movie sequence -- (below-left) -- I am attempting to set the initial height of the Flash movie via MooTools, so if users do not have Flash or Javascript enabled, they will see the shorter-height image area with alternative image content and HTML content revealed (below-right).
Element.setStyle sets the height just fine until swfObject runs, at which point the movie collapses since I am not specifying a height via CSS. If users do not have Flash, it defaults to the height of a static image.
So here is my question: Does anyone know how to dynamically pass a height variable to swfobject when it is set up to width/height @ 100%? Am I killing myself for no reason trying to work with two page heights?
Image Sequence: Left - Initial Flash movie with HTML navigation below Right - Resized movie at the end of the sequence with HTML nav & content below, looks the same as no-Flash version (static image)

Here's my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>[code]....
It works with Firefox and Chrome, but something's not quite right in IE6. Sadly, one of the project requirements is supporting this browser, so even if it workis in IE7, I need to work this out.I know there's SWFObject, but I'd rather not use it (we are loading already a bunch of JS files, we don't want more).Even this won't work:
<script>
document.write('<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HPPj6viIBmU&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param [code]....
It seems that IE6 ignores the <object> tag, here's the code it embeds.
<EMBED src=http://www.youtube.com/v/HPPj6viIBmU&hl=en_US&fs=1& width=480 height=385 type=application/x-shockwave-flash allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></EMBED>

check this page: [URL] For whatever reason, the flash slideshow moves over 1 pixel when opened in Firefox on my Mac. All other browsers render it fine, but only on Firefox it leaves a 1 pixel white gap on the left!
I am using the most recent version of SWFObject. This unfortunately is a garbage Weebly site and I cannot use jQuery in the system so I can't do a real gallery... so let's save the whole "don't use Flash for that" pep talk. It's a favour for a friend and I am already aware of better ways to do it. :)

I'm using swfobject to dynamically load a flash object into a div, and I'm wondering if there's an easy way to display a loading animation until the flash object is ready for display? In this case, I'm loading an embedded Issuu object, and you can see an example of Issuu loading via swfobject here. Depending on your connection speed, there is typically just a blank white space while the flash object loads, and it'd be great to indicate progress with a loading animation if possible.

I have a video that is meant to start playing when a user clicks on an image and said image opens a FancyZoom overlay. It works fine in every browser except IEs. If I place the video in a div that is not hidden (display:none actually), the video starts as expected. So it seems there is a problem with either Flash, JW Player, SWFObject or any combination of these when trying to load a video in a hidden div.[URL]..
