An old chestnut - embed flash in email ?

Hi all,
years ago we used to embed tiny flash files in email messages and they worked (sometimes) giving
the recipient a rich (or annoying) email expereince.
Then it all died out and the mail clients were taught to strip out the swfs.
So in ten years Flash has come a long way and so has email - does anyone know if we can do
this again yet ?  Any workarounds for the common mail clients ?

I belive it is possible purely theoretical but the
email-clients will most likely scream out security warnings all
over the place when the reciver opens the email if it even gets
through the virus scanning and spam-filters.

  • Embed flash video on website...

    About a month ago, I asked for a code to embed a flash video
    on my website, but now I am stuck. I was told to convert the videos
    to .FLV, which is fine. I can do that, BUT in the coding, I am
    confused because the 'file name' in the code ends with .swf. I am
    SO lost because if the video is converted to .flv how would it work
    if the name in the code ended with .swf? I am VERY new at flash,
    and beyond converting the videos to .flv, I'm lost.
    Also, if I can figure this out, would I need to add any other
    details to make sure the code works in both IE and firefox?

    You will need to use the following <object> code for IE
    and <embed> code for
    Mozilla browsers. Replace "your_video_file.swf" with your
    actual file name
    in both places.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • How can I download an old version of Flash?

    The newest version of Flash broke my billing system back
    office. The developers of this billing system are based overseas
    and are extremely unreliable so I cannot depend on them to fix this
    in a timely manner. It could be 2 days or 2 months. I just don't
    know.
    In other words, the newest version of flash broke the program
    I need to do my job. I need to rollback to a previous version as
    soon as possible.
    I found a file on this forum called "fp9_archive.zip" which
    contains old versions of flash. However, everytime I try to install
    any version besides 9r124. I get this error:
    "MessageBox: 12582960,"The version of Adobe® Flash®
    Player ActiveX that you are trying to install is not the most
    current version.
    Please visit
    http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
    to obtain the latest, most secure version."
    Please help me! I am not a developer or an IT guy. I am just
    an accountant who foolishly clicked "update flash" when I was
    spammed to update it. Now I am banging my head against the wall
    because there are no clear and concise directions on how to roll it
    back.

    Jason,
    I am no expert but I was looking to solve a problem I have
    and I ran accross information that may help you.
    How to get previous versions of Flash Player (Note: Adobe
    supports and recommends the latest Flash Player.)
    If you are a Flash developer and require a previous version
    of Flash Player for testing detection schemes, refer to "Archived
    Flash Players available for testing purposes" (
    TechNote
    tn_14266).
    Adobe has made these archived players available for download
    at the request of the Flash developer community. Adobe Technical
    Support does not provide support for the installation or use of
    these old players. These are not intended for general use.
    The following may help you solve your problem.
    Error while installing older version: The version of Adobe Flash
    Player ActiveX that you are trying to install is not the most
    current version
    If you previously installed a later version of Flash Player
    for Internet Explorer, you may be prevented from installing an
    earlier version. For example, if you installed Flash Player
    9,0,115,0, and attempted to install version 9,0,47,0 the
    installation would fail. In this case follow the instructions in
    "Safe versions security restrictions when installing Flash Player"
    TechNote
    kb402435).
    Here is more information I found about unistalling that may help
    you.
    But I would try TechNote kb402435 above first because it
    looks like it is directly related to your problem.
    Uninstall all previous versions.
    Before you install Flash Player for any Windows browser,
    uninstall all previous versions. For instructions on removing the
    player, please see "How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in
    and ActiveX control" (
    TechNote
    14157).
    Note: All applications must be closed before you run the
    Flash Player uninstaller. Quit all running applications, including
    all Internet Explorer or other browser windows, and all Instant
    Messenger clients. Check the Windows system tray carefully to make
    certain no applications which might possibly use Flash Player are
    still in memory.
    Good luck.
    Regards,
    Bob

  • My old itunes id was an email that no longer can be used, therefore, I can not change the password for that account.  Everything that I purchased under that id name will not play.  How can I fix this?

    My old itunes id was an email that no longer can be used, therefore, I can not change the password for that account.  Everything that I purchased under that id name will not play.  How can I fix this?

    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed.  If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.

  • Old versions of flash installed with Photoshop

    It is not clear to me if this is the correct place to post this question, but I hope this is a better place than in the forum on flash in web browsers.  If anyone can suggest a better place to post this, please let me know.
    I have kept the copy of flash that I use with Firefox up to date; it is now at 10.0.22.87 and is correctly (I believe) installed in c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash.
    The other day I installed a recently purchased copy of Photoshop CS4 and then ran the updates that were offered for that.
    I use the excellent Secunia Personal Software Inspector (secunia.com) to tell me when I have insecure out of date software installed and it now tells me that I  have older copies of flash components as follows:
    - in d:\program files\adobe\adobe extension manager CS4\ I have NPSWF32.dll v 9.0.124.0
    - in the ...\adobe\adobe device central\required\opera\program\plugins I have v 9.0.115.0 of the same dll  (and I do nt use Opera!)
    - and in ...\adobe\adobe bridge CS4\browser\plugins\ I have the same dll at level 9.0.124.0.
    Given that some of the Flash updates were to fix security holes, why do I now find myself with newly installed out of date flash components?
    I have tried running the flash removal and reinstall tool from the Adobe website but that did not touch the out of date copies in the Photoshop folders.
    Why do I have to have multiple copies of Flash on my system?  One should be enough and it would be easier to keep up to date.
    How do I update these old copies of Flash?    I am wary of just deleting the old copies.... There probably lies trouble!
    David H-S

    The way I always used to get old versions of the installer was to download from the link corresponding to the release I wanted.  All of these links appear to now point to the same version.  Here are the links for the Netscape compatible and ActiveX installers under each of the three listed versions (clearly all pointing to the same file)...

    I'm sure weebly have instruction for it and would be best to
    try to search the site.
    In most cases you upload the file to some folder and define
    the path in your embed tag,
    or upload to your hosting space and direct that path to the
    file there.
    As I said, each company practice differently, check with
    them.

  • Embed flash file without using IFrame UI

    Hi all,
    Can any one tell me how i can embed flash file without using IFrame UI ?

    Hi
    To run a flash file you will definetely need a platform for which you need a shockwave player or a simple browser window. From webdynpro, the purpose of making it run through a IFrame is at runtime, the frame acts as a window for the flash file to run. Hence its the direct option of running it. Otherwise, you need to use a external window to invoke it seperetely in a browser window to run the file.
    If you have any specific issues, do let us know, or else its the best option @!
    thanks

  • Embed Flash into Java Application

    Hello Friends,
    I need to develop a Java Swing application which can display the menus using Flash. So basically I want to embed flash in the Java swing application such that when the user clicks a button in the flash menu, the menu will pass a command to the Java Swing application and vice-versa.
    I am looking to use Flash this way, because using Flash we can create really good looking and smooth menus as opposed to Java Swing. I also want a solution which will be platform independent.
    Please let me know how to do this. Atleast give me some pointers or website tutorial which will guide me in this.
    Thanks a ton.

  • Has anyone managed to embed flash content within there responsive HTML5 website?

    Has anyone managed to embed flash content within there responsive HTML5 website? I'm aiming to get my client gallery Flash based but don't want to sacrifice my responsive HTML5 layout to achieve this.
    I feel the Flash gallery would be more secure than my current option,
    Thanks in advance
    Katie xx
    http://www.katiegarcha.com

    It dawned on me what the problem was, in my Actionscript, I am using a XML sheet to call the pictures in the gallery. The XML sheet is located in the same folder as the actionscript, but not in the same folder as the html page, hence the Flash working when it is directly called but not when it is somewhere else. Once this dawned on me, I remembered that I used "short" urls for the images thinking of them all being in the same folder as the actionscript, but not thinking about their relative link from the location of the HTML page. So, I believe that if I change the relative urls to fit the location of the HTML instead of the location of the SWF page, it should work.

  • Radio Buttons for Flash PHP email.

    Hi.
    I need to add a sign-up form for services to a flash AS2 web site.
    I found a very simple example of a Flash/ PHP email form at Kirupa.
    It works fine, but I need to add some radio buttons.
    My web site will offer various services.
    Ideally I would like to be able for viewers to sign up for a service by clicking the appropriate right radio buttons
    F.ex;
    •   Service 1
    •   Service 2
    •   Service 3
    •   Service 4
    The email should reflect the choices made by listing the text on the selected services (radio buttons).
    Please download the FLA and the PHP file (at the bottom of the tutorial) here:
    http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_email.htm
    I have uploaded a working version here:
    http://gggraphic.com/flash_mail/simple_flash_mail.php
    How do I add and script the radio buttons with both AS and the PHP to make it happen?
    Thank you on beforehand for your help
    ggaarde

    Hi Again
    Maybe check buttons would be a more natural option for this. You should be able to select more than one service.

  • How to embed Flash .flv video?

    Hello guys,
    I am wondering, is there any way how to embed Flash video onto my web page?
    And regarding QT video template on iWeb's Movie page, can I drag any kind of QT ? Like H.264 QT for example, or is it just for Mpeg2 QT?
    Thank you so much for any advise.

    What is your video codec you are working with? NTSC (and PAL) DV is about 13 gigs/hr uncompressed. When you export your QT movie from your editing application and convert the file to flv you are compressing the video at that time with a determined bit rate and video dimension. quality and file size comes down to math. File size = bit rate x movie length. Quality is bit rate in relation to dimension. Surprisingly enough the recommended video encoder for flv is Flash Video Encoder application that comes with Flash. Sorenson Squeeze is arguably the best flv video encoder. Visual Hub is not recommended if quality and efficiency is desired. Flash Player is a browser plug-in that that allows web visitors to view Flash videos on your website from their web browse. Most already have Flash player installed and you can insert a script that checks to see if the visitor has Flash player installed and if it doesn't a window will appear informing the visitor that they are required to instal the Flash Player in order to view Flash content on your website. A URL is also provided to direct the visitor to the Flash Player download page. Insert this script into the <head></head> of your site:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function MM_CheckFlashVersion(reqVerStr,msg){
    with(navigator){
    var isIE = (appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1 && userAgent.indexOf("Opera") == -1);
    var isWin = (appVersion.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") != -1);
    if (!isIE || !isWin){
    var flashVer = -1;
    if (plugins && plugins.length > 0){
    var desc = plugins["Shockwave Flash"] ? plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description : "";
    desc = plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"] ? plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"].description : desc;
    if (desc == "") flashVer = -1;
    else{
    var descArr = desc.split(" ");
    var tempArrMajor = descArr[2].split(".");
    var verMajor = tempArrMajor[0];
    var tempArrMinor = (descArr[3] != "") ? descArr[3].split("r") : descArr[4].split("r");
    var verMinor = (tempArrMinor[1] > 0) ? tempArrMinor[1] : 0;
    flashVer = parseFloat(verMajor + "." + verMinor);
    // WebTV has Flash Player 4 or lower -- too low for video
    else if (userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("webtv") != -1) flashVer = 4.0;
    var verArr = reqVerStr.split(",");
    var reqVer = parseFloat(verArr[0] + "." + verArr[2]);
    if (flashVer < reqVer){
    if (confirm(msg))
    window.location = "http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash";
    </script>
    Then replace <body> with this:
    <body onload="MM_CheckFlashVersion('9,0,0,0','Content on this site requires the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. Do you want to download it now?');">
    Beginning with Flash Player 9 h.264 QT movies are now supported for playback. Simply change the file extension from .m4v to .flv to convert the h.264 video to Flash video that can be viewed from Flash Player 9+ on a web browser.
    hope that helps!
