Capture onclick event on flash object using javascript

May the admins forgive me if this is in the wrong forum.
How to capture the onclick event on a web page when the click
happens on an embedded flash object?
You can't. At least not in IE. For some arcane reason either
microsofts developers or the flash guys decided to overrule the DOM
in IE.
So the onclick event is never fired, in any browsers, when
the user clicks an embedded flash object like this:
However there's a workaround. Add the wmode="transparent"
parameter. This make the onclick event okay in Firefox, but still
not IE - where the flash movie is transparent the click event
fires, but only those places.
Instead use the onmousedown and onmouseup events which fires
anywhere on the flash.

Associating two events with submit button using javascript in jsp

Hi
How can i Associate two events with submit button using javascript in jsp. Firstly it should insert the data to database and secondly it should close the same pop-up window

Have something like :
<input type="submit" name="submitbtn" value="Click me" onClick="function1(); function2(); " />
You just call both functions sequentially, it's that simple. Although using javascript to work with a database, that seems a bit tricky.

Unable to capture onClick event of htmlb:image in a controller

Hi,
I am trying to capture onClick event of an htmlb:image (which is present in my view) in DO_HANDLE_EVENT method of my controller.
Surprisingly, when I click the image, page does refreshes. But the event in not captured in do_handle_event method. Control never reaches that method. Whereas if I put onClick event of a button, it is easily captured in do_handle_event method.
Ex. code in my view is:
<%@page language="abap"%>
<%@extension name="bsp" prefix="bsp" %>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb"%>
    <htmlb:image id      = "searchimg"
                 src     = "consvalue.jpg"
                 onClick = "search" />
    <htmlb:button id="searchbutton" onClick="search"
                                 text="Event Test"/>
Now, the button event is captured, but not the image event.
Any idea why this might be happening?
Regards,
Kaushal

Hi Kaushal,
are image and button enclosed by <htmlb:form> ?
Please post your of do_handle_event, where you look for the event.
Regards,
Sebastian

Capture onclick event on the Download Link of a File Browse Item

I'm using APEX 4.0.1 and need to create a javascript:popupURL after a file browse item's onClick event fires and before the download dialog popup appears.

Onclick event in flash

Hello,
i have an flv movie file that i need to convert to swf and add an onclick event to it. i was able to do the first step by importing the flv movie and export it as swf. how can i add the onclick event? this swf will be an advertisement for a product and onclick i need it to redirect to a specific URL.
thank you in advance.

Create a new layer with an invisible button (set its alpha to 0) and add the clicking code needed.
The first thing you need to do to make it useful code-wise is to assign it a unique instance name. So while it's selected on the stage, you enter that unique instance name for it in the Properties panel... let's say you name it "btn1"
In AS3, to make a button work with code, you need to add an event listener and event handler function for it. You might need to add a few (for different events, like rollover, rollout, clicking it, but for now we'll just say you want to be able to click it to get a web page to open. In the timeline that holds that button, in a separate actions layer that you create, in a frame numbered the same as where that button exists, you would add the event listener:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);
The name of the unique function for processing the clicking of that button is specified at the end of the event listener assignment, so now you just have to write that function out:
function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
   var url:String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";
   var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
   navigateToURL(req, "_blank");

Handling 3d objects using JavaScript for Acrobat 3D Annotations API

I am trying to learn how to handle 3d objects with this manual: http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_3d_api_reference.pdf
When I execute some code, for example,
myTimeHandler= new TimeEventHandler();
myTimeHandler.onEvent= function( event )
console.print( "Current simulation time is:" + event.time );
console.print( " second(s)" );
runtime.addEventHandler( myTimeHandler );
I get an error like this:
TimeEventHandler is not defined
Why?
P.S. I have 3d object in the document, and can get it with function getAnnots3D.

You have to run the code in the context of the 3D annotation (by attaching the script to the annotation's properties panel, or by right-clicking the active 3D scene and choosing "run a javascript". You cannot run it in the console.

Javascript attach onClick event

I have some Flash 3rd party objects on my website that are
used for various reasons. I'd like to know when a user clicks on
them, but I don't have access to the source.
Is it possible to attach OnClick events to a Flash object via
javascript? Or is there a recommended way to receive notification
when a click occurs on the Flash object?
In Javascript I can get the object in question, but I haven't
found a way to attach onClick events. Please help.

You can set up systems to catch click-throughs, but they
require the correct line of code to be put into the Flash movie
(which you've said you can't do)
I take it you've tried adding an onClick="..." attribute to
the object tag?
e.g. just test it with:
<object onClick="alert('This works!');" etc
>...</object>
Then try clicking on the movie and see if an alert box pops
up... I can't say I've tried it though, it's quite likely when the
Flash is active it handles all mouse responses so the javascript
might not detect them

Trouble Passing Values Using onClick Event

I have a page with a div, <div id= PF_Text_Panel></>, containing text describing an image, the image is in a separate div. Using CSS the text panel is on top of the image and covers about 1/3 of the image’s left side. A slide effect, handled by the function Slide, targets the PF_Text_Panel div. The function Slide is triggered by an onClick event allowing the user to slide the description to the left and reveal the entire image.
The function Slide contains an if statement. The if statement is used to determine if PF_Text_Panel is open or closed using the variable SldPnlState as a flag like this; if the variable SldPnlState ==1, then run Slide. The other part of this function, which actually slides the div is an instance of the Slide Effect, inserted using Dreamweaver CS4.
The variable SldPnlState is set using the function setSldPnlState
The function setSldPnlState, initiated by an onClick, passes a value to the variable SldPnlState, in this case it can be set to either 0 or 1 by separate onClick events
To test if the variable SldPnlState is being passed from the onClick event to the variable I included the function printVar which writes the value of the variable SldPnlState to the screen.
I believe that the Spry effect Slide portion of the function works because if I go into the code and manually set the variable SldPnlState to 1 the function Slide works and if I set it to 0 the function Slide does not work.
This the bug:
printVar indicates that the value is being passed the variable SldPnlState, it displays either a 1 or 0 as expected.
The function Slide does not work however, when the variable SldPnlState should be set by the onClick event passing the value using the function setSldPnlState. It does not seem like the value is being passed from the onClick event triggering the function or that somehow the script stops running.
You can demo the page at: http://dg-ad.com/Slide_Effect_Logic_Parameter.html
Attached is the code, if anyone has some suggestions I would really appreciate hearing from you

<script src="SpryAssets/SpryEffects.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

var SldPnlState = (1);
function setSldPnlState(flagToggle)
SldPnlState = flagToggle;
</script>


<script type="text/javascript">
if(SldPnlState==1)
function MM_effectSlide(targetElement, duration, from, to, toggle, transition, fps, horizontal)
Spry.Effect.DoSlide(targetElement, {duration: 500, from: 0, to: 200, toggle: true, transition: 2, fps: 750, horizontal: true});
//-->
</script>


<script type="text/javascript">
function printVar()
document.getElementById('test_display').innerHTML = SldPnlState
</script>

</head>
<body id="wrapper">
        <div style="padding-top:50px;">
        <a href="#" onclick="setSldPnlState(1);">Set var SldPnlState to Flag Status Set Open (1)</a><br><br><br>
        <a href="#" onclick="setSldPnlState(0);">Set var SldPnlState to Flag Status Set Closed (0)</a><br><br><br>
        <a href="#" onclick="printVar();">Print Flag Status to Screen</a><br><br><br>
        <div id="test_display" style="border:#9CC thick groove; width:50px; height:50px; margin:15px; text-align:center; font-size:36px;"></div>
        <a href="#" onclick="MM_effectSlide('PF_Text_Panel');">Slide Panel</a><br><br>
        </div>
<div id="PF_Text_Panel" style="border:#9C9 thick solid; height:250px; margin-top:25px;">
<div id="PF_Text" class="PF_Text">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var panelWidget_1=new Spry.Widget.HTMLPanel('PF_Text');
    </script>
</div>

Thanks so much for taking a look at this. The whole reason I am doing this is that I couldn't find a state indicator flag in the Spry.Effect.DoSlide effect.
I see that the htmlPanel does not have a bearing on the problem as you mentioned but not having the javascript doesn't matter either. I am using the Spry.Effect.DoSlide effect, it is in the head, in the function with the if statement, and it is making the div"PF_Text_Panel slide which works fine including the if statement. If I set the var SldPnlState = (1) it works set it to 0 and the slide effect is disabled. I need to be able to change the variable using an onclick event.
The problem as you mention is with the function SldPnlState = flagToggle; This is what I need to do. I need to pass a value to the variable SldPnlState from an onclick event. As the function Slide is set up, with an if statement, the div will slide if SldPnlState=1 and the slide function will turn off if SldPnlState=0. However when I do the onclick="setSldPnlState(1);"event there is no effect on the Slide function. The value seems to pass to the variable tSldPnlState since I can get the value of this same variable to display using the function printVar() which will display 1 or 0 depending on which onclick event I run. It seems like the I can pass the variable from the onclick event it's just that if statement in the function MM_effectSlide never sees it. I don't know enough to trouble shoot this. But I will take a closer look at the SldPnlState = flagToggle; part as you suggest.

How can I use onClick event on singleSelection tag???

Hi, all.
I've used Jdev 9.0.4 and UIX xml.
I've tried to fire onClick event on sigleSelection tag. But onClick event could not be used.
Strangely onClick event on Button tag works well.
My code looks like this.
<script>
<contents>
function AlertMessage(){
alert("You got it!");
</contents>
</script>
<button text="Auto Generate" name="generate"
onClick="return AlertMessage();"/>
<singleSelection selectedIndex="0" text="Single" name="GGFF" id="GGG"
shortDesc="AA"
onClick="return AlertMessage();">
Is there any problems in my code? Or this problem is oriented from jdev9.0.4?
Please help!!!

Sorry, this was a bug in the UIX version shipped in JDeveloper 9.0.4. It has been fixed in JDeveloper 9.0.5.

and in
do_handle_event I'm using followin code
DATA : button_event TYPE REF TO cl_htmlb_event_button,
         event1 TYPE REF TO cl_htmlb_event.
event1 = cl_htmlb_manager=>get_event( runtime->server->request ).

    WHEN 'approveClick'.
      button_event ?= event1 .
<   some code >
ENDCASE.
when i clicked the button it is not going into do_handle_event
I'm unable to capture onclick event of button .I tried it by keeping some break points .But couldn't be ableto capture it
Here I'm using MVC pattern .When one check box clicked in view of another controller the page which contains this button will be displayed.Do i need to write any additional code for it

There are 2 kind of break-points.
1. Session break-points - This will wok only to debug normal ABAP codes.
2. External break-points - This will help you to debug BSP/Webdynpro application.
Set the external-break point to figure out whether its triggering the events or not.
<b>
To set the external Break-points:</b>
Before settings the external-break-point, you need to Active External break-point for HTTP. YOu can find this option in
SE80, in
Utilites--> Break-point/External break-point or Utilites--> External break-point --> Set External break-point
or if you dont find, then
utilities-->setttings -> ABAP Workbench -> look at the debugger tab
& find the external Debugging check box or External Debugging user ID. Give SAP User ID
Also have a look at this..

AnyChart: Dynamically add/remove series using javascript

Hi all,
The examples on the following page they dynamically show/hide series using javascript without any server side action.
http://www.anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/users-guide/livesamples/js-series/index.html
It seems they can do this because they add the chart to the page using javascript and so other js scripts can access a reference to the chart object. Looking at the code generated when you add a flash chart using Apex, it appears they are embedded flash. Does this stop us from using javascript to manipulate the chart object?
Has anyone managed to do something like the example in the page above using the built-in charting of Apex?

Between me and another poster we've sort of worked out a solution here - Re: Apex 4.0.2 Manipulate Flash Charts using Javascript?

In PowerPoint I Have Shockwave ActiveX Control - How do I Get Shockwave Flash Object?

I'm running the latest versions of Windows 7 and PowerPoint via Parallels on my Mac. I want to insert a Flash movie into a PowerPoint slide. The instructions I've found tell me to look in Developer section->More Controls, find Shockwave Flash Object, use it to insert a Flash Object, and then to edit the Movie property of that object. But, I do not see Shockwave Flash Object. Instead I see Shockwave ActiveX Control. The properties of Shockwave ActiveX Control do not include a Movie property.
I have gone to "http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/" and clicked the option to install the Shockwave Player, but the site says the Shockwave Player is already installed.
How can I get the Shockwave Flash Object for PowerPoint into my installation?
Thanks very much in advance to all for any info.

Hi Vik.. I don't use Powerpoint but I do know about Shockwave Flash Object. It is in the manage add ons and installs when Flash Player is installed. It is an ActiveX Control and if you have the latest FP installed, Flash10d.ocx should be listed on the same line. It may or may not list the version #, which would be 10.0.42.34. It must be enabled.
Beyond that info I could give you a link to a thread that involved powerpoint 2003 and 2007 if you think that would be of
any help to you.
Just post back.
Thanks

Set annotation flags for link annotations using JavaScript

The JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference doesn't list Link as an annotation type[1]even if it's a subtype in the PDF specification (8.4.5 Annotation Types).
I know how to get the link objects using JavaScript, but they don't have a print property, because it belongs to its mother annotation object.
Example:
I have a scanned PDF, OCRed, with two links. Acrobat's content panels shows an annotation object with two links.
>this.syncAnnotScan();
>var annots = this.getAnnots();
returns
>null
Any idea how to set the annotation flag to Print for a link annotation using JavaScript? (flag 3 aka Print is required for PDF/A)

Hi,
Thanks for replying. But this example sets falshvars through the UI, and as I have mentioned I want this done from javascript in the document - I dont have the value for some of the flashvars during embedding.
(Using a EI call is my last resort, as I am not expected to make any modification to the SWF file - the SWF file, hitherto, was being hosted in a HTML where it was being passed flashvar params)

Flash Player and JavaScript

Hi,
I am the creator of the
Virtual Cutter.
This is a website that can be used to create clips and playlists
for a large number of streaming video formats, and currently
supports the Windows Media Player, Real Player, Quicktime Player
and Kasenna Broadband Player. I am now looking to support the Flash
Player as well, or, more accurately, Flash-specific file formats
such as swf and flv.
As I am not a Flash programmer and do not know much about
Flash files, I hope to find answers to the questions I have about
this issue in this forum.
To use the architecture of the Virtual Cutter, I need to
access the Flash Player using JavaScript.
1. Is there a JavaScript function to get the current position
of the videofile? Something like flashplayer.getcurrentposition
2. Is it possible to add buttons to start, stop, pause,
rewind the file?
Off course, to play a clip, it must be possible to play a
file from any position in the file. The Virtual Cutter therefore
generates (depending on the player) an .asx, ram or.smil file, that
contains parameters for start point and end point/duration.
3. Is there a similar file format that I can use to play only
a selection of the Flash file?
4. Is is possible to create a playlist, so a sequence of
clips can be played?
5. What Flash-specific file formats could be processed?
The Virtual Cutter is an Open Source project. If anyone is
interested in working together on this, please contact me.
Best wishes,
André Rosendaal

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."

Using javascript to detect the onclick event over a datatable row

Hi all,
I'm working with JSF 1.2 R.I. and I would like to add some javascript to my datatable to be able to control the onclick event on a row.
At the moment I have just added a checkbox to be able to know which row the user wants to select but I'm not satisfied with this solution.
<h:dataTable
value="#{person_iupopulations_Observation.customer}" var="customer"
rowClasses="evenRow,oddRow"
cellspacing="0">
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Select" />
</f:facet>
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="" onclick="getRow(this)">
</h:selectBooleanCheckbox>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Name" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{customer.Name}"></h:outputText>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
What I would like to achieve is:
When the user clicks the row (wherever, not only the checkbox) the checkbox changes to the new value depending, off course, on the user's selection.
For this purpose I would need to add the onclick event to every row and associate it to a javascript function to update the checkbox.
Can anybody help me please.
I appreciate any suggestion.
Thanks in advance!

I am looking for answers on how to use javascript to detect the onclick event over a datatable row . I have a selectBooleanCheckBox in one of the columns in the every row in the table. On click of the checkbox in any row of the table, I want to get some values from the selected row and also verify that the rest of the checkboxes in all the other columns are unchecked. I want to do this using javascript. If any of you have answers, please repsond. Thanks.
