Javascript :: Executing SWFObject With Ajax Reloads
Jan 12, 2010
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.

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..

With swfobject 2.2, how do you specify the desired version of flash you require? I need flash 10, but swfobject won't perform an upgrade install with the provided expressInstall. swf in the swfobject 2.2 distributable. How do I get an upgrade install to occur for flash 10?

I have a flash within a holder div (flash container). I use swfobject to insert the flash object (if it makes any difference). I want to resize that holder div to make it smaller in width, when I achieve the "second level" in my "flash application". (with jQuery .animate() function). What "flash application" mean: I have a human body on wich I can click in different body areas. That is the first action - and the effect is to zoom onto that specific area of the body.
Then I can click again on a more specific zone into that area - and the effect consists in fetching some stuff via ajax. (it's some medical stuff, diseases etc.) - that's the "second level" in my "flash application". Then I can click on that stuff fetched via ajax - that's when I resize the flash holder. The problem is that, because of this resizing, my flash reloads and comes back to it's original state, without that zoom level. This reload appears in the "second level", and not when I click on the stuff fetched via ajax and the flash holder resizes. But that's the cause of the reload, because without this resizing, it's all ok. The problem is just in Firefox, I tested it in IE6,7,8, Opera 10, Safari latest and Chrome and there's nothing wrong there, the flash does not realod. Hope you understand what I'm saying here :) if not I cand send you a private message with the URL to see what I mean (I can't make it public)

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" ??

We have a website which displays status updates throughout our various facilities (they all have LCDs with a fullscreen IE page I point it to). Right now I go to my management page with a WYSIWYG-editor, type in the messages/updates, which saves it to a .txt file (alert.txt) and it updates the page on the screens via AJAX. The page on the screens checks for updates at a set interval of 5 seconds. What I want to do now is play a sound to alert when an update is given (the screen only displays critical network errors and such)[code]I've tried adding the sound clip via an embed HTML code (created a Flash object that plays it once upon loading the Flash object) to the text file, but this causes it to play once every iteration. Even if there are no changes.

My company has some software which we use to acquire data and interact with some hardware. If we wanted to put a mockup on a website which allows the user to get a feel for the UI (gather some data, change some settings etc.), what are some good methods to do so?I'm thinking either some clever javascript or flash. I've done some JS before but only to style elements of a page. I did some stuff with flash about 8 years ago and found it really fiddly.
So my questions; Are javascript/flash reasonable solutions for this or is there something better. What is likely to be the simpler/quicker route? Is there a better way to achieve the end result?] The demo doesn't need real data, just some fake/dummy example stuff is fine.

I want to use Adobe's Blaze DS via ColdFusion through Ajax. I know enough ColdFusion and JavaScript to do what I want to do, but I want to add long poling into the application and it looks like the only way to do that is through Blaze DS...but I don't know enough about Flash/Flex to finish the job.

Is there a way in any browser to find out who (which piece of code) actually sent an Ajax request? What I mean: in firebug one can monitor network activity (in the Net tab) but there is no way of guessing where the request was initiated from.
Does anybody know firefox/firebug extensions or maybe other browser's extensions to show request source (whether it is javascript code in particular file at particular line or browser plugin Flash/Silverlight/etc)?

I am looking for a javascript based preloader that can handle .SWF (flash) files. I'm very much aware that it is possible to preload a flash file by using another flash file, but I was wondering if anyone knows about an AJAX preloader that can load swfs (also, a progressEvent would be a nice extra) and then add the flash file to the HTML document. I did quite some googling but it seems that there is no such thing out there. Is it überhaupt possible?

I have two large doors slamming shut and would like to execute the browser shake javascript function hardcoded into the html page for about 0.1 - 0.2 seconds.. just enough to shake the window when the doors slam shut.
How do I call the shake() function that is on the same html document as the swf object? Not from a button press, but from an event (ie certain keyframe reached).

I have an AJAX web service call that returns a chunk of HTML that I then apply to a DIV element on my page.This works fine for any html element except a flash video which comes up with 'Movie not loaded'.I've double-checked the html that is being returned and it's all fine, and it works if I don't use AJAX, but when I use AJAX and then add it using JS it doesn't seem to attempt to load the playlist.

I'm attempting to bring a swf file down to Firefox to cache but not actually execute. The swf comes from a different domain.
The following approach works in Chrome but not Firefox:
new Image().src = "www.other.com/foo.swf";
Firefox uses a separate cache for images.
This approach works in IE, but not Firefox:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" data="www.other.com/foo.swf" declare="1"></object>
The "declare" tells the browser to cache but not execute it. However, Firefox complains that the request is cross-domain.

Is it easy to implement Flex Ajax Bridge with ColdFusion? Where can I learn how to use it? My frontend is pure HTML+JS and I just need the push capability. I thought of using Websocket Event Gateway and Server Sent Event (aka EventSource) but seems like they don't have much browser support quite yet. Any pure jQuery short/long polling option Any good Server Sent Event polyfill solution available for older browsers?

I have a web application that has javscript interspersed through the page. What happens is that safari will dump the source of the javascript code instead of executing it. I can reproduce this consistently. The page is a mashup of different forms of content: It loads flash videos using osflv and is generated via a php script on the server side. In addition the page also contains calls to Google Map's API to display a map. The content is placed in separate tabs using javascript to provide tab interaction. I am also using mootools, and not sure if that is potentially causing issues.
Here are the javascript includes:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/mootools-1.2.1-core.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/mootools-1.2-more.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/sifr.js"></script>

I want to add scripting functionality to my Adobe Flex application. I know it's possible to use the Browser control, and add the script packaged as a HTML file to the Browser control, and expose Flex objects. However I'd like to if it is possible to execute JavaScript without using the Browser control.UPDATE: I guess my question hasn't been clear enough. I'll explain what I'm trying to do.I want to make my application customizable using JavaScript ie., add scripting/plugins to my application dynamically.I realize that it's possible to dynamically execute Javascript by inserting the JS code into the HTMLLoader control. I would like to know there is a direct way to execute JavaScript without inserting it into the HTMLLoader control.

There is a number of Flash and AJAX based uploaders around. I need a file upload component for an existing form in an existinc application, so I have very specific requirements for it. Maybe somebody knows one off the top of their head and saves me a lot of research.
I need a file upload component that has a progress bar and "upload" button next to it (= standalone functionality, no connection to the submit event of a surrounding form).
It should be either Flash or Prototype based. No JQuery or Moo, as the app runs with prototype.
If server-side scripting is needed, it must be PHP. No Perl, no ASP.
On successful upload, I need a custom Javascript function triggered. (I need to update a file list that is displayed on the same page.)
The possibility of filtering file names before upload (no Umlauts, spaces..) would be a plus.
I will try to give this question a bounty in a minute if I'm allowed to.
Edit: I can't seem to open a bounty. Do I have to wait first?

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.

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.

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.
