Flash Ad External API not working in IE7

I'm using the Flash AS 2.0 External API to call a Javascript
function in a page that adds an item to a shopping list when a
Flash Ad is clicked. This is working in FireFox 2 , Safari, and
IE6, but does not work in IE7. I tested the Flash Ad locally in
it's own html page and it calls the function in IE7. An example of
the ad can be viewed here:
http://ads.beta.groceryshopping.net/Shop/WeeklyAd.aspx
The issue may be tied to Ajax.

the solution can be found here:

Can't get External API to work in IE7

I'm trying to get a Flash Ad to call a Javascript function in
an Ajax page. I'm using ActionScript 2.0 ExternalAPI to call a
function in the page that adds an item to a shopping list. I can
get this to work in all browsers except IE7. It even works in IE7
when I put this Ad alone in a basic html page, but as soon as I put
it in an Ajax page it does not call the function in IE7.
I appreciate any help or suggestions

Thanks for the input. I'm not familiar with Ajax so it helps
to know if there are any known issues. I assumed it was an Ajax
issue because the same ad works in a non-ajax web page that uses
frames. The ad is being served through DoubleClick, here is the
rich media code that embeds the Flash Ad:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>

</SCRIPT><NOSCRIPT><A TARGET="%t"
HREF="%c%u"><IMG SRC="%h/1146572/HormelFallBack.jpg" alt=""
BORDER=0></A></NOSCRIPT>
the ad can be viewed here:

Flash buttons not working in IE7 and Chrome

Here's my website where the problem is occuring www.bakercreative.co.uk
As you can see the Flash buttons animate, but when clicked they should go to a new html page.
I've tested it in IE8 and Firefox without any problems but it's not working in IE7 and Chrome.
Does anyone know what the problem is? Could it be the html code or the flash file itself?
Thanks

Hi, Glad you were able to solve that issue with the buttons and Chrome. Any small thing can cause big problems!! LOL
I'm sure IE7 will test out ok, IE6 did Your website is very nice and has a variety! I hope it all comes together for you.
Thanks,

Flash Player 10 does not work in IE or Firefox. What could it conflict with?

I'm using Firefox 3.6.8 (and sometimes IE 8.0.6001.18702IC) on Windows XP Pro, SP 3.
For some weeks now, I have been unable to hear any sounds on anything Flash-based, from YouTube to games at MSN.com or embedded videos on any site using Flash. Initially I had assumed it to be because of having QuickTime installed because I know QT likes to hijack everything. I uninstalled QT (and Real Player) and Flash Player then reinstalled Flash Player (and Shockwave Player just in case) and guess what?
Yup. Nothing. When I uninstalled everything, I used a program called Revo Uninstaller, which includes a registry cleaning option. I then used Abexo and WinASO's registry cleaners to make sure I got everything else that even looked like QuickTime off my hard drive.
When I reinstalled Flash, the following programs appeared in C:\Windows\system 32\Macromed\Flash:
Flash 10i.ocx (10.1.82.76)
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX (10.1.82.76)
FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.82.76)
genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.dll (10.1.82.76)
NPSWF32.dll (10.1.82.76)
KB931433
FlashInstall
Install
Flashplayer.xpt
When I check IE's "Tools" and look for add-ons, it says that Flash (Shockwave Flash) is enabled. I even enabled the other Adobe add-ons for Acrobat and such just to be sure. Firefox shows Shockwave Flash and Shockwave for Director both to be enabled. The Flash control panel settings don't help: I have all sites set to store about 100 KB on my computer to make sure there's enough room for everything but still nothing.
Before anyone asks, my audio drivers are up to date, thanks to the manufacturer's website. I have DirectX 9.0c installed and everything else works fine. I can play audio and video elsewhere with no problems. It's only Flash that's showing me this trouble and there's no hint as to what else could be interfering with Flash.
Any ideas?

Well, great. I tried the uninstall/reinstall before, but not with the uninstaller, so I was hopeful that this time might do it. No such luck. The video still plays, but no sound.
All the sound settings are working with everything else from games to media players. I set Windows' firewall to allow both the ActiveX and plugin for Flash, just in case.
In the Flash folder, I now have:
Flash10l.ocx (10.1.102.64)
Flash Util10l_ActiveX (10.1.102.64)
FlashUtil10l_Plugin (10.1.102.64)
Genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
FlashUtil10l_ActiveX.dll (10.1.102.64)
NPSWF32.dll (10.1.102.64)
And the setup and text files that went with 'em.
I've also done a system restart since then and zip.
I went through IE and Firefox and looked for any file associations (like .flv) that I could manually change over to using Flash, but no go. The settings panels for Flash have all been set to allow YouTube specifically (as a test) and to allow 10KB of storage space for all affected sites.
Now what? I'm really not looking forward to a reformat and reinstall, but it's looking like that's what it's going to take.

Something is strange with your list of modules; you list FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.102.64), but this is really 10.1.85.3
I recommend that you uninstall Flash Player completely (using http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html), then restart Windows, and delete all remaining files in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash.
Next reinstall both ActiveX (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe) and the plugin (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe).
After that, if the problem persists, have a look at this page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83739.html

Camera flash of iphone 4s not working

Camera flash of iphone is not working can not take a picture with flash??
Please suggest a solution.

If you bring up the shortcut bar from the button of the screen by swiping upwards, can you switch the torch function on and off?
Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
You will not lose data by resetting.
Did you make sure that the flash is activated in the camera app? Did you try to switch it off, take a photo and switch it back on again?
To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the camera. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

Flash Banners not working in IE7

Hi,
On our websites we sell advertising space and allow our
customers to use flash banners as advertising. We have had this
system in place for several years, but all of a sudden it has
stopped working in IE7, much to the displeasure of our customer.
The system we have had in place is that we ask our customers to put
the following action script in their banner:
on (press)
getURL("fscommand:click");
When the banner is clicked it calls the associated java
script:
function Banner1234_DoFSCommand(command, args)
if (command == 'click')
window.open('
http://www.website.com')
This use to work in IE7, but doesn't seem to any more. This
system still works in FireFox, Opera, Chrome, Safari and IE6. If
anyone has any idea why this would no longer works in IE7 it would
be much appreciated, and any kind of work around would be
fantastic.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi,
I have managed to solve my own problem and thought that I
should share the solution for any one having a similar problem.
The problem was that the flash file I was displaying was
stored on a different domain to the website I wanted to display the
flash file on. This activated a little documented (as far as I can
tell anyway) and rather annoying feature of IE7 called
"Cross-Domain Protection". This feature appears to prevent you from
clicking flash files that are sourced from other domains, so to
solve the problem I moved the file to the same domain and it works
fine.
We store many different file types and various pieces of
content for our websites on different domains to the ones they are
displayed on, and I have only encountered this problem with flash
files, why this would be the case is beyond me, but there it is.
Thanks,
Ryan

External Display not working (descriptive details in post)

Hello
Background:
I have been using a black Macbook (last year's model - before the aluminum ones came out) and connecting it to a VIZIO VW22L HDTV10T (television/monitor) via a mini-DVI to VGA adapter.
This setup always worked, although it was a bit finicky (I'd have to plug it in before closing the display to get in to work in clamshell mode, for example). I get the feeling from reading other forum posts that this is the normal case, though (which so far has been my only real gripe with OS X).
Anyway, back a couple months ago I wondered if this finicky-ness was partially caused by a messed-up preference file, so I decided to try and fix this. In the ensuing tweaking, I somehow caused my Display preferences to disappear.
After much effort trying to fix the problem, I eventually called Apple support, which ultimately recommended that I reinstall OS X. I didn't do that, and continued to work at the problem. I eventually was able to bring it back by going into my Time Machine backups and restoring all the Display preference files (I used old preferences from back when I got the external HD, so I knew they'd be "uncorrupted). However, now I'm having problems with my external display, namely that it is not working.
This problem started early this year, so it might have been caused by the 10.5.5 update, but since I had all these other problems going on, I'm not sure if that was the case.
Problem:
The Macbook doesn't seem to recognize the display, or is having problems routing video to the display, or something.
If I plug the display into the Macbook while it is running normally, the Macbook LCD will flash blue (like it picked up a new display), but them come back to normal. The monitor will go out of sleep mode for a second, but then display a "No signal" message. If I attempt to "Detect Displays" the Macbook screen will either flash blue (as before) or just do nothing.
If I have the display plugged in when I start up the Macbook, everything will proceed as normal until the time the desktop would be displayed. Instead of this, I just see a blue screen (like some generic desktop before any background is applied). The menu bar, the dock, and icons do not show up. However, I can hear various audio cues telling me the computer is running fine except for htis problem (email notifier going off, etc.).
I know the problem is not faulty hardware, because when I boot my Macbook into Windows, everything works perfectly. It therefore follows that it is an OS X problem. I downloaded both Cocktail and Applejack and run various repairs on them (most notable repairing preferences), but nothing has changed.
Any suggestions about how to try fixing this? If there's any technical detail I've missed, let me know.
Thank you in advance to everyone who tries to help.
-Richard

I have same problem. MacBook Pro (new, 2014) upgraded to Yosemite. Had been running with ViewPoint high-resolution, 27" monitor, HDMI. I tried Thunderbolt connection -- it connected, but it would not allow the external monitor to run at its native resolution (2560x1440). It would only display properly using HDMI. Just 3 days ago after I installed the latest OSx software update, and my external monitor problems started. On startup, my MacBook screen flickers non-stop. I can fix problem eventually (after several tries) by disconnecting the HDMI cable, turning OFF the external monitor power, turning external monitor back ON and then plugging in the HDMI to my MacBook Pro. This is very inconvenient.
I will try using the Thunderbolt cable. When I tried it in the past, it connected, but it wouldn't display the native resolution of my external monitor (which is 2560x1440). Can only get this resolution now with HDMI.

Flash drag and drop not working on Firefox for android browser

Drag and drop functionality is not working using Firefox Browser for Android on tablet. We tested with flash action script 2.0 & 3.0 content, both have same issue. Specs of the tab and OS are as follows.
Android - Kitkat 4.4.2
Tab models - Lenovo A7600H and Samsung Tab4 T531
Please refer to a previous case raised on the same issue here at this link (Case 1029615) - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1029615
Additionally, we observed that the object on which Drag and Drop event was triggered, is moving little bit when we double tap.
Does Firefox provide any libraries to support Drag and Drop functionality on Flash? We are using Geekoview api to execute flash content in our app. Will the same support be provided in Geekoview as well?
Are there other folks facing the same issue? Is there a solution or workaround to get this feature running?

Flash on Android is no longer supported by Adobe. While Firefox does support basic functionality we mainly focus on legacy video applications. You may run into issues with Flash and Geckoview. I doubt we have any resources to support that configuration.

Macbook (Late 2007) External Display Not Working

I have an acer x243hq 1920x1080 external monitor which works with my Xbox 360 (vga cable) and my friends macbook (early 2008) but not my macbook
when plugging the external monitor into my macbook using the minidvi to dvi adapter the macbook screen goes light blue and flashes continuously until i remove the cable, the external monitor is just black (does NOT display "no signal") when the cable is removed the cpu seems to have been running at 100%.
i have tried using my friends macbook hard drive in my macbook and the problem is still there therefore the problem must be hardware related?
i have all current updates
Thanks for any replys on how i can fix this

Have you downloaded the Mac OS X (10.5.4) Combo Update? I posted my problem, very similar to yours, and in researching it I found it at: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1054comboupdate .html. It might just be what you need!
My problem is that I am running 10.5.7, which I blame for my external display not acting like it did when I was on 10.5.6! One expert at Apple Support told me to erase my HDD, reinstall Tiger, upgrade to Leopard again, but only to 10.5.6! Has anyone any idea as to when 10.5.8 is due out? Is there a Beta?

FABridge.addInitializationCallback not working on IE7

I have a jsp page with two swf files that are initialized
using the Adobe Flash Detection script 1.6
I am also using the FABridge.js to communicate with the swf
files from javascript.
I have two problems
1) The FABridge.addInititializationCallback method never
works on IE7.
FABridge.addInitializationCallback(bridgeName,callback);
If I register a handler on IE7 the callback NEVER gets
called. The same code runs fine on FF2
2) The display of the swf on the page is not 100% reliable.
90% of the time the swf initializes and displays correctly but 10%
of the time it doesn't display. If I reload the page then usually
it fixes the problem.
I find it is more reliable on FF2 than on IE7 though
occassionally it fails on FF2 as well.
I have tried adding delays using setTimeout to the swf
initialization code etc but so far nothing has really helped.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Perhaps it's a bug in the Beta version of IE7. I wouldn't
worry about it
until the release version.

Preloader in external swf not working

I have several external SWFs that are loaded into my site and
each one has a preloader. When I run them by themselves the
preloader works fine, but when it is embeded into the main SWF the
preloaders do not work. Any ideas?
here is my actionscript -
lBytes = _root.getBytesLoaded();
tBytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
percentLoaded = Math.floor((lBytes/tBytes)*100);
loader.bar._xscale = percentLoaded;
loader.percent.text = percentLoaded + "% of " +
Math.floor(tBytes/1024) + "K loaded.";
if (lBytes>=tBytes && tBytes>0) {
if (count>=12) {
gotoAndPlay("enter");
} else {
count++;
gotoAndPlay("preload");
} else {
gotoAndPlay("preload");
}

I am experiencing the exact same problem on my site -
www.expansiondesign.com
It works in flash player but not when live (tested safari and
firefox)
I don't know if you are using the same script as I am paul.
I execute the following when each image button is pressed:
button1.onRelease = function () {
startLoading("image1.jpg");
which runs this:
function startLoading(whichImage) {
loadMovie(whichImage, "_root.image_holder");
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
infoLoaded = _root.image_holder.getBytesLoaded();
infoTotal = _root.image_holder.getBytesTotal();
percentage = (infoLoaded/infoTotal*100);
_root.loader._yscale = percentage;
_root.loader._visible = true;
if (percentage>=100) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
_root.loader._visible = false;
Thanks,

Flash Global Security & Links Not Working?

Hi all,
I am absolutely near some sort of breakdown with my Flash website....I really hope someone can help!
I am building my portfolio website; I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 (on Mac) and inserting Flash animations in the centre of a table in each Dreamweaver page. All was working fine until I built the Contact page animation on Flash last night. I linked in some external websites to my Blog, Flickr and Twitter and also need a button to launch the user's default mail client.
When I tested the animation (CMD+ENTR) in Flash the links appeared to be working, if after a few clicks. I then inserted the Contact animation into the Contact.html page on Dreamweaver and tested it in Safari. A dialogue box came up regarding something about security settings and Flash 8 (makes no sense as I am using Flash 9); and I ended up on the Global Security Setttings panel page on the Adobe website. I selected the entire folder the website is in on my hard drive under "Trust Files in these Locations". Now the ENTIRE website's flash animations are not working. There are links to internal pages of the site (i.e. a link to the "Contact" page in the animaiton on the Home page) which are now not working either. No error messages come up when I test the movie in CS3 either. I have refreshed Safari, restarted the Mac and redone the folder on the Global Security Settings panel. Also loaded the entire website onto a PC this morning, all links not working either.
Actionscript 3 on the Contact page looks like this:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
//---Blog Button---\\
var getBlog: URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.myblogsdomain.com");
Blg_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, eClick);
function eClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(getBlog, "_self");
//---Twitter Button---\\
var getTwitter: URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.twitter.com/mydomain");
Twt_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, eClick1);
function eClick1(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(getTwitter, "_self");
//---Flickr Button---\\
var getFlickr: URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.flickr.com/photos/mydomain");
Flkr_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, eClick2);
function eClick2(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(getFlickr, "_self");
//---Email Button---\\
var getMail: URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:[email protected]");
Eml_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, eClick3);
function eClick3(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(getMail, "_self");
I'm not 100% sure if the e-mail AS3 I set up is correct, but as none of the links are working I can't test it. I cannot provide a link to the website as it isn't uploaded yet, and I don't really want to upload it not working properly.
Any help at all would be gratefully received, I'm really, really on the brink of some sort of breakdown. Thanks.

Thanks Samuel.Wong and Ned Murphy for the information.
I'm not actually sure what happened but my website suddenly started working again today, I think possibly by selecting "Always Allow" on the Global Security Page as well as inserting every individual file as well as the folder under "Trusted Locations" has also done the trick.
The external links appear to work when I test the movie in Flash CS3, but the same warning comes up once the movie is inserted into a Dreamweaver html page and tested in Safari. However I think when the links (all except the email ) appear to be working in Flash then it should be just fine once uploaded onto the server. Many thanks for your advice once again.

External links not work

Hello,
I have a word document that has external links. Text that
links to other page or other url.
When I convert my doc (word document) into a swf using flash
paper 2 the links not work. There are still highlighted but no
linking is taking place.
please help me.
Thanks
Alejandro

I am having the same problem. At first I thought it was
because I had converted an excel file but I tried the same
information from a word document and the links do not work in the
browser or if I view the SWF file separately. Additionally, when I
convert the word file to a pdf none of the hyperlinks to pages or
documents work but the links to email addresses do.
