Ajax for Flash in IE problem

Currently I'm doing a project that requires to deploy ajax
with a Flash object. I use the fscommand for Flash to communicate
with javascript in order to do the Ajax.
I create a flash file name ask.fla. In the file I make a
button and add the script for it like this:
on(press)
fscommand ("send_var", 1);
I have read in the manual of Flash how to make flash
communicate with javascript, and I have configure the publish
setting of HTML file to run "Flash with FSCommand" .
I have another 2 files namely: ask.php and ask_get.php.
The content of the ask.php file is:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>ask</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff"
onload="makeRequest('ask_get.php','?test=10');">
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>


<div name="myspan" id="myspan"></div>
</body>
</html>
The content of the ask_get.php is:
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
id="ask" width="462" height="410" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="ask.swf" /><param
name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor"
value="#ffffff" /><embed src="ask.swf" quality="high"
bgcolor="#ffffff" width="462" height="410" swLiveConnect=true
id="ask" name="ask" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>
</object>
The purpose of the two file is that when the file ask.php is
called, the code in the even <body onload> will call the
makeRequest function, which replate the <div name="myspan"
id="myspan"> with the code in the file ask_get.php, so that the
flash object is embed indirectly in the file.(but it will be shown,
and some how I use it to make the ajax for the page).
When I run the file ask.php in my webserver in Mozilla
FireFox, it run well, the flash file can call the javascript
function, but when I run the file ask.php in IE, the flash file can
not do anything, it can not call the javascript function.
You can check this by running the file ask.php in both
FireFox and IE in your webserver (IIS or Apache).
If the code to embed the swf object in php file is written
directly in the very php file the swf object can contact with
javascript very well and correctly
, as you can test it by running the file ask1.php in both IE
and FireFox in your webserver (IIS or Apache) , when you click the
button, it will show you the message "HELLO" which is call from a
javascript function.
Here is the code of the file ask1.php, which embed the flash
object directly in the php file and it works well in both FireFox
and IE:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="

xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>ask</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff"
onload="makeRequest('ask_get.php','?test=10');">
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
id="ask" width="462" height="410" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="ask.swf" /><param
name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor"
value="#ffffff" /><embed src="ask.swf" quality="high"
bgcolor="#ffffff" width="462" height="410" swLiveConnect=true
id="ask" name="ask" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>
</object>
</body>
</html>
The problem is when I call an object by replacing the <div
id=...> with the code for the flash object from the ask_get.php
file, only FireFox can call the javascript but IE does not.
So anyone who know the reason why, please tell me. Thank you
very much.

Be sure your HTML wrapper is embedding the flash object correctly in IE. In all other browsers it can be embedded as an object of a specific type. IE has always required a separate install of an activeX with a certain CLSID.
Look up SWFObject and use that to embed your SWF to be sure that it's being embedded properly for each browser, or use the HTML generated by flash and make sure your publish settings that you have "FSCommand" selected in the drop-down so flash can talk to the browser.

Solution for flash player crashing problem

This fix works pretty well, as all the latest versions of flash crash continuously, on almost every video.
First, download these two items:
Flash player Uninstaller
1. Flash player Uninstaller - http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe
Flash 10.3.183.25
1. http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
[Editors Note: I updated the link to point to the Flash Player archives page, instead of the non-Adobe site. Please, ALWAYS download Flash Player directly from Adobe to ensure you have a valid, authentic copy. Malware distributors often attempt to trick users into installing malicious files by naming them as legitimate software programs. Wherever possible, always download software from the author's site.]
Run the Uninstaller (with browsers closed).
Then run the new Installer. You should not have problems anymore.
This version also switches from full screen and back, smoothly (without freakin crashing).
So far, it is running smooth as a lamb. I have no idea what is wrong with the other versions of flash player, but it is annoying. Even the very latest version crashes.
I am back to enjoying videos again, hope you will be too. :-)

Here are 4 links. I hope these are right, never looked at this data before.

The freezes, crashes, green screen, etc occor basically on any video. for ex https://vimeo.com/50512991 , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfulqRdDbsg
Basically if i am doing nothing and just let it play a freeze, crash, green screen, etc will occur sooner or later. But skipping through the video will also result in such behavior.
I have these GT220 drivers (306.23) installed already.
hardware acceleration is permanently off indeed.
Here's a list. But you know, i think i have ruled out the plugins and addons already because i also used flash on a fresh Firefox install and on a complete new profile without any plugins and addons installed.

Problem while installing LiveCycle Mosaic ES2 Plugin for Flash Builder 4

I am trying to work on Live Cycle Mosaic 9.5 and I have downloaded FlashBuilder 4 and trying to configure the mosaic plugin "LiveCycle Mosaic ES2 Plugin for Flash Builder 4" in Flash Builder as per following directions given on adobe site:
     "Add the following two update sites via Window > Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites (names below are suggested/optional):
Name: Galileo Location: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/
Name: RIA Tooling Location: select the LiveCycle Mosaic ES2 Plugin for Flash Builder 4 ZIP file.
Install RIA Tooling Feature: In Help > Install New Software, choose ("Work with") RIA Tooling Site.
Select and install Adobe LiveCycle RIA Tooling."
But I am getting the following error:
"Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Mosaic Tooling Feature 9.5.0.0-20100629-2-241916 (com.adobe.livecycle.ria.tooling.feature.feature.group 9.5.0.0-20100629-2-241916)

Please, suggest me how can I solve this problem to configure mosaic plugin on flash builder 4.

I think that in addition to adding the dependency on the galileo HTTP location the instructions should also advise you to 'check for updates'.

Any ideas please?

Would you mind posting your question on the Flex Kit for

Flash player 10 problem for Flex textinput in Chinese

I make a application to capture the user textinput in Chinese.
I test this in windows xp using xp default text input editor.
In flash player 9, the input editor is located at close to the textinput field and move according to the text.
however for flash player 10, the text editor is located at upper left corner of the location and does not move according to the text.
any idea ?

Are you using Flex 4 controls on FP10? They use a different input mechanism
which is still not quite working well with IME.

"the activex control for flash player could not be registered" - Solutions Roundup

I recently ran into this problem on my computer:
http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems2.jpg
I am a Flash developer (as in I write SWFs, I don't work for Adobe). and when I updated IE to 10.2, "the activex control for flash player could not be registered". Since I am a developer, I also have Firefox and Chrome installed, with Flash running without problems. For a long time now, Internet Explorer has used a different version (ActiveX) to the other browsers, which use plugins. I am a strong supporter of Flash, it's great to develop with and has a very wide feature set which is growing all the time, unlike fixed technologies/standards. However, the weakest part is the install process - I don't understand why their is a Download Manager. Google Chrome does it's best (so far) by managing the install/update process entirely in the background. Anyway, it was in my best interest to try and get to the bottom of this.
For the record, on the problem machine I have Windows 7 with IE8, but I have seen almost identical symptoms with IE9, Windows XP SP3, as well as various iterations of Flash Player (10.0, 10.1, 10.2 and even some final editions of version 9).
First I tried the standard support here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
Basically, doing the manual uninstall and manual install of the latest version (without using the download manager, or have IE open). This did not work. I also tried the Microsoft "subinacl" program, together with "reset_fp10.bat". This didn't work either. However, you should try all of these things first before progressing further.
A quick note about people who had tried running the following at a command prompt: "secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose"
I didn't do this, because on investigating further it didn't seem to work with Windows 7, only Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 - though there was a few threads where this had fixed the problem for some users.
For my solution, it is recommended you use the manual uninstall / installers, so you should have them downloaded ready to use.
I then heard about problems with permissions in the registry with the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
So I opened regedit.exe (start - run - typed "regedit.exe"), navigated to the key and sure enough, I couldn't open it - permission denied - even though I had an administrator account. If for some reason, you can access this key (and any subkeys), then it's likely the following fix will not resolve the problem.
I then done further diagnosis, by using Process Monitor to try and install Flash Player, and I got the following:
http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems.gif
This shows all the access denied errors the Flash Player install was experiencing when trying to write to the registry key. This confirmed that this was the problem. I only stress this because several people said it was unwise to tinker with the registry. Though this is common advice, this is the only known fix for this precise problem at present, since you need to manually adjust the permissions yourself. I don't know who is at fault here - Microsoft or Adobe - but let's just get Flash fixed...
The solution:
Firstly, you may want to backup your registry, or the exact key. I didn't do this so I've provided no instructions on how to, but it is recommended for the paranoid. Also make sure as much software is closed down as possible - browsers, IM software, any junk in your system tray. As way of example, I happened to have "BBC iPlayer" installed and running in the background which uses Adobe AIR and Flash Player, so I exited that too.
1) Open regedit (start - run - type "regedit.exe"). You may need to right click on it and select "Run As Administrator", but I didn't as my account was already administrator.
2) Navigate to the key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
Click on it to confirm that you cannot access it (you will get an error) - if their are no problems - this probably isn't the cause of your issues.
3) Right click on it and click Permissions, and ignore any message that may pop up.
4) Under "Group or Usernames" click "Add". Type your account name name, or "Administrators" in the box, then "Check Names" to format it correctly, then Ok.
5) Now on the next screen click the checkbox to enable Full Control (this will also automatically enable "Read" permission too).
6) Click Advanced, then the "Owner" tab at the top. You will see that their is no "Current Owner". This is what we will now fix.
7) Click on your name to change the owner to (I went for Administrators). Also enable the checkbox entitled "Replace Owner on subcontainers and objects". Then click Ok. You will get an error message, which you can try clicking Retry to, but hit Cancel - this is not a problem.
8) Click Ok a couple of times and this part of your registry is now fixed.
9) Now it's a simple case of running the manual Flash uninstall program, then finally the manual Flash installer (for Active X - not the Firefox/Chrome plugin versions). To my surprise, after a couple of days looking into this - I finally had a solution and Flash in IE once more. If you are using Firefox too you may find Flash is no longer installed their (the uninstaller removed it). In this case just install via the Adobe site or try to watch a video on You Tube and you will be prompted or linked to the install.
Hope this provides a good round up of the possible solutions to this problem. Hopefully Microsoft or Adobe can find out what causes this issue in the first place so we don't have to go down this route for much longer. Chrome's implementation of Flash shows how effortlessly things can work!

They will stay on the screen. However, Process Monitor is only intended for advanced users. It is recommended that users try to navigate to the troublesome registry key using regedit, and see if they can access it or not without an error. This is far easier than trying to use Process Monitor, which is very complicated.
I used Process Monitor to confirm that it was just that key which was causing the problem, and not others. Process Monitor is not to be confused with the new Resource Monitor which is accessible via Task Manager in Windows 7 (and possibly Vista). If you must experiment (and Process Monitor is very useful for diagnosing many deep-level problems if you know what you're looking for) Process Monitor can be downloaded from here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
It replaces the older Sysinternals "FileMon" and "RegMon". For those interested in the technical side, I had to setup a number of filters to be able to get the results display as in the screenshot. First of all to just show Registry events. Then to just show events from the manual Flash activeX installer executable. The I added a filter to show only non-successfull results. And finally, for the purposes of the screenshot, added a filter to just show those with "Access Denied", since other non-critical errors are also picked up due to missing keys because installation has not yet been fully completed I guess. When experimenting, most of these filters were applied using the "is not" boolean logic, which will make sense if you experiment with the program.
Without adding any filters, it picks up so many events (hundreds per second) that it's otherwise unusable. e.g. 40,000 events within the first few seconds of opening the program. For this reason, I recommend simply using Regedit to diagnose the problem with the particular Flash registry key.

Wish list for Flash Tutorials

Hi,
Going through the tutorial videos, sometimes I have to call a friend to find out what the word I can't grasp is. Example, on one of the tutorials, the lady says "in the authoring environment", but I could not hear the word "authoring" properly. My neighbor friend thought she was saying "operating environment". But after searching the help pages for "Flash environment", "authoring" came up and was able to finally guess the word I was not able to distinguish.
This happens to me frequently. My simple wish is for those videos to include caption text. Hey, they do it for most TV programs nowadays, why not tutorials. After all, tutorials are so much more important to be understood.
Just a thought ...
Regards,
Ronald

Oh well, if they prefer to hide ... they'll never know what
customers want.
BTW, I have two other [major] problems with the tutorials.
1. When I bring them into full screen they eventually freeze. I have to scale them back into normal size video.
2. After about an hour away from the PC, the pending tutorial starts to play on its own. Last night while I was sleeping, my PC started to play the last tutorial on its own. It just happened now. While having dinner, the current tutorial started to play again, as if it had a mind of its own.
Or ... is there a problem with my flash player installation??
Regards,
Ron

Color management for flash player with hardware acceleration

I have tested the color management for flash player 10.2 with and without hardware acceleration (GPU) on different PCs with different video cards.
Videos that are played via flash without hardware acceleration on PC have proper color as designed in After Effects.
When I switch on hardware acceleration, the color shifts, for example green becomes lighter, although grey values are OK. I have tried this by writing a small Flash programme for playing a movie; I wrote two programmes one with color management as described in the article "Color correction in Flash Player" http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/color_correction_as3.html and another one without color management. In both cases I got the same color shift when hardware acceleration was turned on. From the result I concluded that color management does not work when hardware acceleration is on.
My question is: are there any plans to have color management for flash player with hardware acceleration (GPU) in the near future?
We need to play complex high definition movies streaming through a high speed local area network that need hardware acceleration to avoid stuttering.

Hi, LOL at my screen moniker. That's interesting that the FF beta has an Option for that. The only problem, is that I have heard that each browser must UNcheck the H.A. I'm sure you'll find out.
Hope that works at least for FF. Let me know if you have time.
I've been checking out Apple TV and Google TV. Just saved the links and some info, haven't had time to go further. I'd prefer Apple TV over Google tho.
I have a 55" HD Sony/Blu-ray Surround Sound Speakers, etc. I hooked up the VGA cable for Internet, and WOW on the Screen/Monitor!! Now I'm thinking about the iPhone 4 with VZ too, on their pre-order list for 2/3/11!
Hard to keep up with the Technology, moving faster today for some reason.
We are under the Snow & Ice warning, getting it now. Hope I don't lose power! If so, I'll be offline for sure.
If I find anything on that H.A. for IE, I'll let you know.
Thanks,

Why being asked for Flash Player update in Acrobat 9.5.2?

In trying to view a PDF created in Captivate (for Flash Player 9) viewer is being old cannot see the PDF without updating Flash Player (running Windows XP). The problem is not there using Acrobat Reader 9.2. I thought Flash Player was incorporated into Acrobat Reader?
Wondering if anyone can clarify.
Thanks very much,
Susannah

It used to be, but in the updates for the Acrobat 9 Family (and in the Acrobat XI Family) it has been removed. See here for an explanation.

I've Tried Everything for Flash Player HELP!!

I've read all the posts on here and still can't find a solution to my problem. First of all.......under add/manage addons There is a line that says Shockwave Flash Object and it says it's Disabled. The thing is that the enable and disable button are grayed out and not just for trying to change that for flash but anything else under add ons. What is the world is the deal?
I have IE9 and have uninstalled totally Flashplayer and reinstalled as per instructions on these posts. But still when I go to certain sites it says I need to download Flashplayer.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been trying to figure this out for days! I even tried to install an earlier version of Flash Player and still won't work.

There are TWO different Flash Player Plugins for Windows -
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Are you 100% sure you installed the correct one?
Also Shockwave and Flash work together but are different plugins. You need to have Shockwave for certain Flash content, but Flash Player for ALL Flash content.

How do I get Active X control for flash player registered?

I have been having problems with flashplayer. I continue to get different messages when I try to download. The latest message is: Active X control for flash player could not be registered. What do I do to get the system working?

Looks to be a permission issue. Do you have administrator priveleges on the machine?

ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered - no solutions work

I am getting the "ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered" when I try to install 11 on IE9 (Windows 7 64-bit). I have tried everything that has been suggested in other posts and forums to no avail. This is driving me crazy and hindering me from work. Can someone please help? Thank you!

I just had this issue and have been searching and searching for a way to fix this issue. I have a Windows 7 64 bit system and this was happening with IE 9. But I have found the solution.
Go to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/494/cpsid_49419.html and follow these instructions. This worked for my system and I was able top install the newest flash with no problems.
Make sure you are logged into a Windows Administrator account. If you are not, you will not be able to use SubInACL.
Download SubInACL from the Microsoft Download Center.
Follow the installation instructions. Make sure you install SubInACL (subinacl.exe) to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools.
Download the reset_fp10.zip file.
Open the fp10.zip file and extract the reset_fp10.cmd file to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\.
Both this file and SubInACL (subinacl.exe) must be in this directory.
Double-click reset_fp10.cmd. A command window will open, and SubInACL will run.
Do not use the machine while SubInACL is running.
After SubInACL finishes, you will see a prompt "Press any key to continue".
Install Flash Player from the Flash Player download page.
To confirm that your installation succeeded, visit the About Flash Player page. At the top of the screen, you should see a message that reads "Adobe Flash Player Successfully Installed."

The activex control for flash player could not be registered. Please help!

Can't install flash player. Keep getting activex control for flash player could not be registered. I have tried all of the solutions provided on this forum. Running windows 7 32-bit running IE8.
Please help.

Hi, Did you use the Administrator Account? If you received that message it is usually a Permissions Issue.
We have had several reports this past week of a Virus(AntiVirus8 or AV8) that can set a Kill-bit on the very Registry Key that FP uses for that ActiveX Control.
You may want to look and see if this is perhaps the problem. This needs to be ruled out first before we proceed, because if that key has the Kill-bit, then it wouldn't matter what you do.

The activex controls for flash player could not be registered

the activex controls for flash player could not be registered
i have had this problem for a while and cannot seem to get around it please post anyreliable suggestions

Just to add some additional misery to this thread. I have this exact same issue. Windows 7.
The issue started several weeks ago, when a flash update failed to install. Everything seemed fine other than every reboot, this flash update would fail (and in fact would "hang"), but flash itself continued to work.
Yesterday, it stopped completely. It said flash wasn't installed. I've tried:
1. Completely uninstalling flash (it is not in Add/remove programs) but using the techniques and videos offered by Adobe to remove the files, using their uninstaller, etc.
2. Perform the fix as outlined in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987370 which including installing SubACL, the batch file, etc. The batch file ran successfully, but did not solve the problem.
3. I've tried Windows System restore, but it doesn't seem to go back far enough.
4. I've tried the fixit identifed above in this thread and while it solves certain problems, still doesn't solve my issue.
5. I've tried installing using the stand alone EXE and MSI from Adobe.
6. I've tried the 11.9 beta.
None of these have worked and all result in the "failed to register" error. I'm currently using the flash built into Google Chrome as I needed to have some working flash component.
Anyone else have any ideas whatsoever short of a Windows reinstallation?
