Cform type="flash" and javascript?!?!

In a cfform type="flash", can I used
javascript within? For example, if I used
<cfinput name="button"
type="button" value="I validate this
information is correct and wish to submit for
distribution"
onSubmit="javascriptscriptcall()" >;

I tried this without successs.
<script type="javascript">

Cfform (flash) and javascript integration

I've been searching and shooting in the dark for 2 days and
can't get this to work...
I need to have my flash form button execute a javascript,
return the value to the form and then I need the form to submit and
take advantage of cfform's validation.
So far, I get the javascript to change the value of the form
field without submitting the form, but when I add the submit line,
the form submits before the javascript returns the changes.
Here is my sample:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function changeSomething(x,z1,z2)
var z3 = "window.document."+z1+ ".SetVariable";
if (x != "ABCDEFG")
eval(z3+"(z2+'.text', 'INVALID Name')");
</script>
<cfsaveContent variable="prevalidateIt">
getURL("javascript:changeSomethig('"+name.text+"','Step1','name')");
submitForm();
</cfsavecontent>
<cfform method="post" name="Step1" preloader="no"
format="flash" width="960">
<cfformgroup type="panel" label="Step 1" visible="yes"
enabled="yes">
<cfformgroup type="hbox" visible="yes" enabled="yes">
<cfformgroup type="hbox" width="200" visible="yes"
enabled="yes">
<cfinput type="text" name="name" size="12" maxlength="11"
width="12" label="name" validateat="onSubmit" validate="maxlength"
required="yes" />
</cfformgroup>
</cfformgroup>
<cfformgroup type="hbox" visible="yes" enabled="yes">
<cfformgroup type="hbox" visible="yes" enabled="yes">
<cfinput type="button" name="Submit" value="Submit"
onclick="#prevalidateIt#" />
</cfformgroup>
<cfformgroup type="hbox" visible="yes" enabled="yes">
<cfinput name="Reset" type="reset" id="Reset"
value="Reset" />
</cfformgroup>
</cfformgroup>
</cfformgroup>
</cfform>
My javascript is of course way more complicated than this one
and goes through several steps of validation of the form field. It
will ultimately be used on multiple fields in the form.
Has anybody else tried to do something similar.
Thanks!

I ran your code. It appears to work as expected. The only
major change is that I corrected the typo
javascript:changeSomethi
ng.
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeSomething(x,z1,z2)
var z3 = "window.document."+z1+ ".SetVariable";
if (x != "ABCDEFG")
eval(z3+"(z2+'.text', 'INVALID Name')");
</script>
<cfsaveContent variable="prevalidateIt">
getURL("javascript:changeSomething('"+name.text+"','Step1','name')");
submitForm();
</cfsavecontent>
<cfform method="post" action="#cgi.script_name#"

Can't play Foxnews videos. Trying to use latest Firefox, Flash and Javascript is enabled. Ad plays but video hangs. Anyone else having this issue?

Have tried both Mozilla 12 and 16, have reloaded Flash several times, have enabled Javascript. Ad seems to play but video does not, only seems to occur with Foxnews.

You can check the Flash status [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html here]. If you have any external Windows ad blocking applications, or if you're using a proxy you can try to adjust the settings.
Additionally, the Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Interaction between flash and javascript

I want to make a player separate from my swf file in my web page
and according to this link
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/publishexport/scriptingwithflash/scriptingwithflash_03. html
I make two button which play and stop the swf but I need three more buttons which control sound (mute , increase volume , decrease volume)
any suggestions ...?
thanks in advance

Your going to have to unpack your array no matter what, so no.
You can make your class factory with your huge case, or, if you have the source for your lib you could modify the constructor, but its the same amount of work:
Was:
public function MyClass(s:String, n:Number, d:Date){...}
To:
public function MyClass(s:*, n:Number=0, d:Date=nul){
<case code here>
If you have a decent platform, or even javascript, you could maybe think about writing a parser that will generate the class factory case based on the constructor signatures.

Flash and Javascript

Orginally posted in Flash Gen Forum, someone reccomended I
try it here.
Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work and how to make it
work?
I have an flv (flash 8) that's being loaded externally into a
swf called player. I have cue points that are created at run time.
The first javascript function executes but all of the other
ones seem to fail. I'm positive flash is recognizing the cue points
because i can here the browser click when it tries to execute the
other javascript functions. But nothing happens.
This is the code I'm using and yes javascript functions are
present in the html.
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
if (eventObject.info.name = "graphic_on") {
getURL("javascript:MM_swapImage('serv1','','images/servicemenu/servicemenu3on.gif',1)");
else if (eventObject.info.name = "db_on") {
getURL("javascript:MM_swapImgRestore();
MM_swapImage('serv2','','images/servicemenu/servicemenu5on.gif',1)");
else if (eventObject.info.name = "print_on") {
getURL("javascript:MM_swapImgRestore();
MM_swapImage('serv3','','images/servicemenu/servicemenu7on.gif',1)");
else if (eventObject.info.name = "mail_on") {
getURL("javascript:MM_swapImgRestore();
MM_swapImage('serv4','','images/servicemenu/servicemenu9on.gif',1)");
myflv.addEventListener("cuePoint", listenerObject);
I'm using swf object to write my flash to the page.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Perhaps the dreamweaver and flash versions are slightly
different.
Have you considered using SWFObject instead? I personally
prefer it and its even (apparently) used by Adobe on some of their
own sites.
http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/
I also remember reading about a dreamweaver extension a
couple of weeks back that someone had made for SWFObject, but I
haven't tried it:

Flash and Javascript communication

Dear All
I am creating a CD version course where passing data from
Flash to html. Because of Flash player 8 security reason, a popup
is flashing. To avoid that I have tried to write a .CFG file in
system32, but that is not possible on user's machine.
Is there any other solution to aviod that Flash 8 security
popup?
Thanks and Regards

If you use player 9 you can set the value. Here's more

Cfform type="flash" not working in safari

Yes, I know that only a developer would be using Safari with
windows, (firefox has been a little buggie lately)...
However, it appears that flash is not working. I get a
picture that looks like a blue lego.
The strange thing is that when I go to the adobe website, the
flash presentation on the main page appears to be working...

I have the same (unresolved) problem as the original poster. This occurred following an install of Lion Dev Preview 2 on top of 10.6.7 on my Macbook Air (3, 2). The Java / Missing Plug-in errors go beyond Safari, though. I've logged a good 4-5 hours of support calls with Apple, but all the many rounds of uninstalling/reinstalling of the plug-ins, the OS, Safari, and so on has not been helpful.
Actually at first Mail would not open at all because Mail 5 had been installed and simply putting 10.6.4 from the SL USB didn't fix that until I deleted all traces of Mail then re-re-installed SL. I am having this problem with iPhoto as well, but I imagine that if I can find an iLife disk then that problem is solvable. This simultaneously also screwed up some iPhone/iPad related features but, again the Java / Flash issues seem MUCH more of a mystery and, combined. I think I've tried every combination of preferences in Safari, as well as uninstalling and reinstalling Java/Flash at least 50 times in slightly different ways...
Thanks for any potential insight or speculation!!
Various details follow below...

Is there Adobe Flash player and JavaScript for iPad

I want to watch a tv episode. Told needed adobe flash and JavaScript. Are these available for iPad?

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
1. Puffin
2. SkyFire
3. Photon Flash
4. Browse2Go
5. Swifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

Flash and browser integration

hi,
i am trying to find out if there is a way to control the
window which holds the flash movie through flash, for instance,
make it scroll up or down, or somehow control the flash movie to
react the windows position... i have seen it somewhere in an advert
where oranges are being squashed when the flash banner is scrolled
up the window... i wish i had the link to give you an example..
anyway, any help will be apreciated.
thanks.

you can use javascript to control the browser window and you
can use the externalinterface class to communicate between flash
and javascript.

Flash and internet explorer warnings

Hello!
I am new to flash so I am really sorry if my question is too stupid for this forum.
I want to include some flash banners or movies on my website but everytime that I load my website with internet explorer i get the yellow bar on the top of the page saying that the active x needs permission to load the page but this does not happen with Firefox.
Does anyone know how to overcome this problem or where can I get a tutorial to learn how to do this?
I have seen that some sites have flash movies, javascript and banners included but dont get any warnings.
I would appreciate any help!
Thanks

Hello and thanks for your reply mldb88!
It is a problem with internet explorer and I know what I should do when that happens but I am concerned about other people that will visit my website. As you might know there are a lot of people using internet explorer and some of them might get scared with this kind of warnings and I would really like to avoid that.
But like I said on my previous post, I have seen that most websites that have flash and javascript included in the page, I dont get these warnings on internet explorer when i load them and I would like to know if there is some code or something else that I should include on the webpage to avoid this warning which seems to happen only with internet explorer.
Thanks!

Javascript, Flash and Bookmarks

We are using Captivate 8 to create our courses. On slide 3 through 12 I have one web object per slide which brings up a web page containing a streaming video player that points at a video hosting company that we rent space on. Our website is hosting the HTML containing the steaming video player used for each slide.
On each of these slides (3 through 12) I have some JavaScript (upon page load) which is trying to set the suspend data and making sure that the current slide is being bookmarked. I have tried calling the suspend data call and even the set Bookmark call and both have the same results: Nothing happens.
I am testing it out on a PC running Flash and am using Fiddler to watch the transactions. Once the videos have started (starting on slide 3), I do not detect any activity to update the bookmark information going back to our LMS.
Once the student is past all of the slides containing the video web objects, then the bookmarking seems to start working correctly again.
It appears that Captivate is converting the slides to a Flash Movie with iframes used to display the video itself. But it appears that while the flash movie is playing the slides with the videos, no communication goes on between the course and the LMS.
The videos on each slide is only about 5 to 10 minute long.
We are having more and more students who get somewhere past the 3rd video slide and then their session times out for some reason (usually inactivity) but when they attempt to restart the course, they taken back to the first video slide again.
We are not ready to go exclusively HTML5, so I need our bookmarking to work with the Flash-version of our course.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have used 2 different approaches and neither one seems to work.
The first was:
/* Calling a self-invoked function to not pollute the global scope and immediately destroy the scope chain */
(function(){
var KeepItActive = {
checkComms: function() {
this.showConsoleLogs = 'no';
try {
this.currSetExitResult = SCORM2004_CallSetValue("cmi.exit", SCORM2004_SUSPEND);
if (this.showConsoleLogs == 'yes') {
console.log("Result is type of " + typeof this.currSetExitResult);
console.log("Set Exit to Susspend worked = " + this.currSetExitResult);
if (this.currSetExitResult || this.currSetExitResult == 'true' ) {
this.currSlideName = SCORM2004_GetBookmark();
if (this.showConsoleLogs == 'yes') {
console.log("Current Slide Name = " + this.currSlideName);
} else {
if (this.showConsoleLogs == 'yes') {
console.log("Set Exit to Susspend Failed");
} catch (err) { //otherwise assume failed.
if (this.showConsoleLogs == 'yes') {
console.log("The Catch of the try-catch feature was activated");
KeepItActive.checkComms();
The second was:
/* Calling a self-invoked function to not pollute the global scope and immediately destroy the scope chain */
(function(){
var KeepItActive = {
resetBookmarks: function() {
try {
var strBookmark = null;
var callReturn = null;
strBookmark = this.SCORM2004_GetBookmark();
callReturn = this.SCORM2004_SetBookmark(strBookmark);
} catch (err) { //otherwise assume failed.
if (this.showConsoleLogs == 'yes') {
console.log("The Catch of the try-catch feature was activated");
SCORM2004_GetBookmark: function () {
     SCORM2004_ClearErrorInfo();
     return SCORM2004_CallGetValue("cmi.location");
SCORM2004_SetBookmark: function(strBookmark) {
     SCORM2004_ClearErrorInfo();
     return SCORM2004_CallSetValue("cmi.location", strBookmark);
KeepItActive.resetBookmarks();

Using CSS and Javascript to display a div with flash in it, mozilla reloads the flash file!

I am using CSS and Javascript to display a div with an
embedded flash object in it. Mozilla Firefox reloads the flash file
when the div is displayed! (I dont want this to happen, as it's
unexpected functionality, my expectation would be that the flash
file would not change it's state at all, and would remain in
whatever state it was left in.)
I was wondering if anyone has come across this issue and is
there something I can do to prevent this from occurring?
To be more specific, I have a single HTML page with 8 flash
files embedded in it (yeah I know, it's a bit much). I am then
using CSS and Javascript to display (via a numbered link (with an
id)) an equivalent numbered div tag containing the flash file.
Mozilla Firefox reloads the flash object that is in the div.
Internet Explorer will not do this and will instead, load the flash
object only upon initial view of the flash object. All subsequent
links (in IE) will NOT reload the flash object on the page. I'm
guessing this is some kind of difference in the flash player as an
Active X object and the plugin, or is it just IE being clever? Or
am I way off?
Anyway, here is the code...
