Php :: Switching Drupal Form Widgets Based On Flash Detection?
Feb 25, 2012
I have a client where some of their employees have flash installed and some don't. So always using the swfuploader module widget isn't going to work and it doesn't gracefully fall back to HTML. In fact it just leaves a non-functioning button in its wake.
So what I would like to do is detect when they don't have Flash available and switch to the standard Drupal File Upload widget. Now in my head it seems like this would only work if done on the server-side. But can that even be done reliably on the server side?
Also, can this on-the-fly widget switching even work in Drupal or will it pitch a fit?
I've got a web site up and running that allows the user to choose a dark or light color scheme
But on the project detail pages, there are Flash videos that also change slightly based on which color scheme is selected.
[URL]
If you start playing the video, and change color schemes, the flash player will change to the right color, but on refreshing, it doesn't remember that change. How do I modify to code below so that the Flash player reads the correct color scheme and takes action?
Pertinant code is here (full JS file is here: http://www.centerline.net/lib/js/site-unmin.js): //Switches color of Flash Video player on detail pages function updateColor(color) {
I am having problems with my collision detection. basically when I hit a solid tile my character's body is half way in the tile already. here is my code.The properties wY and wX are my game world positioning. Not the stage positioning. dx and dy is the velocity the character is traveling. This first snippet of code is within a game loop. The focus point of my character is centered on the x axis
I am using Flash MX 2004, aka Flash 7, and Actionscript 1. What I have is a movie clip that plays on frame one. Its a variation of loading screen. What I want to do is make it so that when the movie clip is on its last frame (frame 100), then it switches to frame 2. NOT frame 2 of the movie clip, but frame 2 of the overall project.
Code: if (_root.loader._currentframe == 100) { _root.gotoAndPlay(2); } (movie clip is called loader)
I have also tried naming frame 2 "finishedLoading" and just "2", but it still will not go.What happens is, when the movie clip animation is finished and on frame 100, it just sits there. I had to put a stop(); in frame 1 so that the animation could play, but it stays stopped. This was all done after I tried the logical approach where inside of the movie clip on frame 100 of the movie clip, I made an "Actions" layer and on frame 100 keyframe, I put:
Code: gotoAndPlay(2); I also tried Code: gotoAndPlay("finishedLoading"); and Code: gotoAndPlay("2");
I have even resorted to the last resort. I put tried to make a variable so that when the movie clip is on frame 100, that "var finishedLoading" would be set to true, and then: Code: if (finishedLoading == true) { // } Inside of the comment would be gotoAndPlay(x);
I currently have an SWF that is reading and displaying text, images and an ID number via an XML file. What I wanted to do was switch the text and graphic based on a URL.
For example the if the url was www.somedomain.com/about/ the SWF would then read the XML file and see that based on the domain ID the "about" text and images would load.
Here is what my Actionscript looks like
Code: function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { _root.headers = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
I haven't been using Flash long enough to know if I'm using Flash 8 Actionscript or Flash MX 2004 Actionscript, etc. I don't really know the difference or where to look so an explanation about that would also be helpful.I do know I'm using Actionscript 2, in CS4.Basically I'm needing help switching between sounds based on visibility of other items.I've got 15 buttons; buttons 1 to 5 making one of objects 1 to 5 visible and turning the others off, and buttons 6 to 10 and 11 to 15 doing the same for items 6 to 10 and 11 to 15 respectively.I'm trying to make three sounds play when a point on the timeline is met. Sound 1 is dependant on which of object 1 to 5 is visible, etc.Everything I've tried has either not worked or ended up with sounds overlapping/playing oddly. I can't find anything on the internet specific enough to help, so I thought I'd ask specifically.As I've said, I'm relatively new to Actionscript.
I have a email form in a custom component that is put in the main application when switching to the email state. When someone searches something it will switch back to the search state. But when the person eventually goes back to the email state the contents of the form is still there. I tried doing a creationComplete and running a function that makes the fields have no text such as email.text = ""; but this doesnt work.
i'm having truble with this tutorial! i don't know if i have done it right i mean ive done the whole tutorial start to finish, but when i uploaded the files to the server...it wont workhow do i check, ive already put in my htdocs folder of my apache sever and it works but not on the webserver?
<? here's the code as in the tutorial" $Subject = "Test E-mail";
I had to put the entire "form" and the buttons in a movieclip itself, that lets the form and the other text "fade in". The problem itself happens when the fading in occurs : The movieclip that holds the form starts blinking between the form and the thank you page for as long as the parent movieclip is playing the fade in. When the fade in stops (stop on parent movieclip) the blinking stops. I don't know how this is possible as the first action in the form movieclip is 'stop()'

What I am trying to accomplish is creating a flash based form. Basically a form that people fill out if they want to book an event. so there would be several fields to fill out. Name, Date and Time of Event, Contact Number, ect. there would be text fields to fill out and combo boxes. I just want a simple form where people fill out that info, it makes sure that everything is filled out before submitting. then when you submit it, it sends the info to a master email... where we can check it and get the info. does any one know of anything similar that i can use as reference to help me accomplish this?
I've got the "Flash-Based Email Form Using PHP" working fine, when I use it on a regular swf. But when I use it loaded into a different swf, the text fields are invisible! It's working fine, and I get the messages, but I can't see what I'm typing! Seems like every textfield I add is invisible, not matter what. (input text).
Next I'm going to make a game with ball physics on it so if anyone can tell me how to make ball physics with bouncing from angled objects.Also, I need the collision detection to be based on movieclips because I need to be able to modify the levels in the game.
I want to create a photo browser web widget that can be embedded in a web page (e.g alice's blog) but I am not sure whether I should go the flash or javascript route. Flickr went with a flash based widget. Why would they do it in flash over javascript? why would you chose js based widget over flash.
I bought a static flash site from flashden. But the developer does not reply my questions. I want to add widgets such as flash google earth or photo galery, video galery as an external swf but I could not. How can make this?
Working on a site where I want site admins to be able to upload swf and/or flv files inline in a content's body together with text,images, etc. I'm currently using the WYSIWYG module (with CKEditor). Basically, what I need is something like [URL] but for flash content. I've looked for something similar but without success.
I am an ActionScript developer and I am working on an interactive SWF that gets loaded by Drupal. I am using SWFObject 2.2, the Facebook API for Actionscript, and the SWF Tools module for Drupal.
The purpose is to allow the user to create a picture and then post it to thier newsfeed. The interaction with Facebook works great when I load it into a static html page using swfobject.embedSWF(), but when Drupal loads it (via SWF Tools) the swf loads but the Facebook methods do not work. For example, Facebook.init(APP_ID, onInit) never returns. Normally Facebook.init(APP_ID, onInit) will return a success object if the user is already logged in, or a fail object if the user is not. When my swf is loaded by Drupal this does not work.
I've triple checked the SWF Tools configuration, and as I said, the swf loads and works, but just can't contact Facebook.
I embedded flash to my site using this:print swf('myflash.swf');into my page.tpl file however it is not recognizing the orig dimensions when using this:print swf('myflash.swf',array('height'=>400,'width'=>700));But the flash is showing up, only the dimensions had the problems. I have been searching and searching around in Google and drupal forums to no avail for a few days now..
I've contacted Adobe sales and tech support, and realized that I need to talk to someone who actually develops with these tools.I want to develop some simple graphical widgets with the ability to reload themselves via an xml-socket a couple of times a second. Which Adobe tool should I buy-- Flash Builder, or Flash Pro?
Not sure how to describe this issue, but I only get it in Firefox and not any other browser. When clicking around, the page sometimes blows up with the attached pic. Sometimes it has even more characters than that, and you can see things like LAME encoder referenced. Anyone know what the deal is? All site caching is disabled. I am no pro with flash so I don't know what is causing this. I am using the Boutell XSPF player due to its support of Autoresume, if that helps. I added it to the list of players, and have the flash embed code in a block. I am achieving this using the Drupal Audio module and submodules supporting it.
i have downloaded a flash component "Fade In Fade Out Slideshow".and included mu images in it.i don't know how to include it in drupalits index.html page is
After working for a prolonged time on a programming problem, I start to get coding tunnel vision. It makes it harder to draw back and look at the problem from farther away. Hence my question: I am using a Drupal 6 site. When a menu option is clicked, the page opens and a Flash SWF file needs to played in a ThickBox. After 8 seconds, that Thickbox closes.
Opening the SWF file in the Thickbox when a link is clicked is no problem, just like closing the Thickbox afterwards; that's basic javascript. For that I use these:
[Code]...
But opening the Thickbox on load? I can add a link for the user to click, but it should open automatically. I figured out the PHP to have it only open on one specific page. From the Thickbox manual, I learned to open links to images - but not how to open it when the page loads.
I am trying to create dynamic variables to post to a form based on the content of some xml.I have loaded 15 objects which act as buttons into my movie and each button will trace the exact title as wanted. What i want to know is that when i click the button the title is stored in a dynamically created variable to be used later for posted to a php form.
PHP Code: // sprinkles function function GenerateSprinkles(sprinkles_xml) {
