I am looking for a consistent way to determine when Flash is going to be unloaded. I need to handle this event in order to call a tracking API once rather than each analytical event.
how to consistently (across all browsers) handle this
I am trying to learn JavaScript and I am wondering whether JavaScript has a event listener just like ActionScript's ENTER_FRAME. Basically, I want this event listener to listen "all the time" not just wait for any particular instance (mouse click, keyboard event) of event.
View 3 RepliesIn IE, if flash has focus, and receives a keydown event, it does not appear to bubble the event up through the DOM (I can't capture the event by listening on document, however the same listener can capture key events from html siblings, so I know my listener is working).
However, some other plugins on the page (I am looking at you windows media player) still respond to key events that initiate in flash (and I need to prevent that from happening)! It seems that the key event initiated in flash takes the bubble express highway straight to the top (where the top is whatever is above document in the DOM hierarchy). I have tried terminating the events in as3, and tried different wmodes... neither approach works.
I need to capture the event raised when a flash video ends. If possible, I'd like to distinguish this from a user clicking the stop button.
One thing to be made perfectly clear:
I DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER THE PRESENTATIONS OR THE SWF FILES.
What I'm looking for is simple (I thought) js automation of the client player object, not more complex interactivity with the presentation itself. I thought this would be really simple stuff, but a dozen Google and Bing searches later, I can't find anything about it.
In a div, we use swfobject to embed a flash player. We wrote the flash player in action script. During the initialization of the web page, we use javascript to resize the div to make the player best fits the browser. The enclosed flash player registers an OnResize event listener and handler. The question is the OnResize event is not called when the enclosing div's resized. (The OnResize event does get called when we drag to resize the browser afterwards.) Could the be caused by the Flash VM is not fully ready when the div's being resized? What is the best way to make sure the OnResize event is called in this case?
View 1 RepliesCan I dispatch events from javascript to flash player? I am trying to do so by calling dispatchEvent() on flash player dom object but the event is not passing inside flash player.

Just wrote a small test page that you can load in IE and Firefox or any other Browser.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

So clicking any colored shape should produce an alert (except for the green one in IE, not sure why but I hope that's off topic and not related to my issue).
Clicking the Flash container in Firefox will work Perfectly fine. You should get alert boxes in this order containing: span, div and body. Flash bubbles the event to the HTML. But this is not happening in IE.
So why is Flash in IE not bubbling events to HTML?
Edit: As mentioned by Andy E this behavior can also bee seen in Google Chrome which to my knowledge is not using ActiveX to embed the flash movie into the page.
I wondered if anyone can provide any information on how flash events relate to the DOM event model.My issue is this:body > div > object.The div has a mousedown event which calls 'preventDefault' on the event object.This shouldn't bear any relation to a click event within the objects swf however in IE9 it prevents the swfs mousedown event from firing..I'm struggling to understand how swf events fit in with DOM (presumably they continue to bubble up from the object element?) and why a click event on a div would affect a childs swf click.
View 1 RepliesI have got this script working from How to get mouseup to fire once mousemove complete working within the jQuery (document) scope.Later on I added a flash object inside the body.and when I click on the flash object the mousedown event fired, mousemove event fired, but not the mouseup event which where I want to unbind the mousemove. But when I click on non Flash area, mousedown works, mousemove works, and mouseup also works. It works like I wanted it to in Chrome, but not in Firefox.Here are the codes, and I called handleMouseDown in $(document).ready
handleMouseDown: function () {
jQuery(document).mouseup(function() {
Log("unbind.");

I'm using SWFWheel to get the mousewheel events in actionscript 3, and I have a small flash window amongst a full html page that needs a scrollbar. The flash scrolls properly, but the whole HTML page scrolls with it. How can I disable scroll to html when over the flash?

View 0 RepliesI need to catch a hover event on top of a flash object, so I set the wmode and created an invisible div on top of it to attach the event listeners to. Thing is, I can't click the flash object. The cover is swallowing the clicks, and the things I've tried to go around this have made a mess of the hover events. This is the 30th problem I ran into in 2 days time and it's driving me crazy xD.

I'm using Javascript's mouse event to pass information about mouse position to flash and show the specific animation frame depending on mouse position.
The problem is, when mouse is over flash object, it doesn't fire javascript event anymore. I've tested it on Chrome and it seems to be working, but Firefox doesn't want to cooperate.
My flash object is located in the middle of website and has transparent background. It has to stay this way. Also, I'd rather not move the action to the ActionScript for two reasons:
Website's width is not constant (different browsers for example) so I'd have to push viewport's width to the flash too, which will complicate the script, also mouseenter events etc. I don't know AS very well.
The code: (I'm using jQuery here because it's also used somewhere else on the page, previous mockup used plain JS)
function viewport()
{
var e = window
[Code]......
My code is
try {
if (MovieClip(this.parent)!=null) {
if (MovieClip(this.parent).imagename!=null) {
var t=MovieClip(this.parent).imagename;
var url:URLRequest=new URLRequest(t);

My loader unload event not calling?
I am developing an AIR app. In the main app I have a module loader 'mainModuleLoader'. I am creating modules as separate mxml files using the <mx:Module> tag. And I am loading such a module in mainModuleLoader dynamically using actionscript. Everything works fine.For the module which I am creating as mxml files, I would like to know how to add an unload event handler. So that, whenever I call mainModuleLoader.unload(), the unload event hander is triggered from inside the module.mxml. I have tried the following without any success.
<mx:Module creatingComplete="init()" unload="unloadHandler()"/>
<mx:Module creatingComplete="init()" remove="unloadHandler()"/>
The problem with the second statement above is that it triggers the unloadHandler even if some child is removed inside the module. I have also tried to add the following in the action script.
private function init()
{
this.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.UNLOAD, unloadHandler);
[code].....
here my code
----------------------------------------------------
if (MovieClip(root).gmapimage!="") {
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event. COMPLETE, onLoaderReady);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Eve nt.UNLOAD,unloadHandler);
var fileRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest(MovieClip(root).gmapimage);

i want to remove all object and variable set or remove on Event.UNLOAD event(see my function unloadHandler()) but UNLOAD event not work for me anything wrong...
My problem is understanding the load/unload event. What I have at the moment is a test file. There is one button that loads an external swf (carnival.swf). This seems to work ok as far as i can tell, although I think the way I have hidden the button once the SWF loads is wrong....anyway... On the carnival.swf there would be a "back to main page" button that would simply remove the carnival.swf from the stage and reactivate the button on the main swf, which in the future would have other buttons that would load other swf's on to the stage.
View 2 RepliesI would like to know if it is possible to trigger a jquery function to hide something after a Mouse event in flash.
I want this to run when something is clicked in flash:
$("#googframe").click(function() {
$("#googframe").hide();
});
i know how to monitor a click in AS3 but how do i get it to trigger this.
I need to create a java/html button that, when pressed, queues my flash animation to begin. I believe I understand how it works on the AS3/ExternalInterface end, but I am unable to test it as I do not know how to properly code something to test it with on the Javascript end.
View 2 RepliesI'm just trying to understand a difference between IE, Chrome and Firefox. I have the following code on a page:
$('object').live('click', function(){
alert('Fired');
});
I then populate the page with some Flash controls (in my case, I'm using Uploadify). When I click on the Flash control, I see the alert in Firefox 4. However, I do not see the alert in IE8 or Chrome (I havent tested any other browsers).
I'm embedding a flash object in an html page and calling windows.onload to initialize the Flash movie. The problem is that the windows.onload does not wait for the Flash object to completely load. Is there way to make sure that the Flash object has fully loaded?

<head>
<script>
var falshObj = null;
function pageInit() {
thisMovie();

The only way I have found so far to capture the browser window close event from actionscript/flash is actually to capture the event in javascript, and then use a javascript/flash data passing from the javascript callback.
Something around those lines:
window.onbeforeunload = clean_up;
function clean_up()
{
var flex = document.${application} || window.${application};

View 2 RepliesI have a flash application written in actionscript 2.0 that shows vector architectural maps and works perfectly on common web browsers. There are many interactions with javascript functions called by user events on the webpage, such as zooming to a certain x,y point. This event is usually accomplished via the mouse wheel.
Now I have to make sure that the thing works on tablet pc, in particular the Galaxy Tab. The first thing I have to fix is that, obviously, there is no mouse wheel and the user naturally tries to pinch zoom the flash application, with the result of zooming the entire web browser.
What I need is to listen to the multitouch gesture and, when a pinch zoom event is called, disable the default zooming event and call a javascript/flash function that allows my flash app to zoom only the objects that need to be zoomed: in few words, the browser stays still and only a part of the flash zooms in or out.
I already have working javascript functions to call flash object functions for the zooming purpose, so I just need to connect them to some android things that tell me when the user tries to pinch zoom in and when he tries to pinch zoom out (and possibly the x,y point of zoom).
I'm using a custom right click context menu for a flash app (overriding the default adobe menu). For this Uza's right click solution [URL] works well.
However, flash player plugin (for Firefox/Chrome etc) has a bug which breaks usage of international characters when its using WMode for the html embed. WMode="widnow" works.

The issue can be seen better here -

I need to capture the right click event fired from Flash player plugin to the web browser container without using WMode on the html embed tag (ie. WMode="window")
I want the current swf to unload and the new one to load only after a transition occurs. Is there a more efficient way to do this than if. switch()?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a school project that requires me to load external .swf or .jpg files. I currently have all of the buttons working and are loading an external .swf file on to the screen. The problem I am having is that when I go from one button to the next the loaded .swf stays on the screen and the next .swf gets loaded on top of it. I know that I need to unload the file but I am not sure where to put the code for the unload or what code exactly to use. I would like when the button is pressed to unload the previous loaded .swf and load the new .swf without having a separate button to unload.
