Communicating with FLASH player via actionscript

I was wondering of there's a way to control the FLASH player
(if playing back a .swf directly from the harddrive) with
Actionscript, so that
1) the movie opens and plays in "full screen" mode
automatically
2) the application can "quit" on button-click (= the
equivalent of the user hitting the esc key on the keyboard).
Can I do that? Is there a way to communicate to the actual
"Player" application in this way? Help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks...

Sunil,
Still no luck getting the SWF to run under 11.4.402.265 with any of my Mac browsers. The SWF runs fine on PC browsers with 11.4.402.265 installed.
I confirmed that uninstalling 11.4.402.265 and downgrading to Flash Player 11.3.300.27, the one just prior to 11.4, allows the SWF to run fine again on all browsers.
The iOS note you provided wouldn't have any direct applicability since we're talking about a web application failing to load. But maybe the "Secure socket connections fail | Mac OS 10.8" issue may have some correlation or side-effect??
The debugging on this one is a challenge to say the least...

  • OLM SCORM content issue with FLash Player 9 Active X version 9.0.115

    Hi,
    Does any one have issue completing SCORM online content (flash object) via OLM with FLash Player 9 Active X version 9.0.115 using IE? I have same problem also via mozilla.
    I have two computer one with 9.0.45 and one with 9.0.115. I can complete the online course with version 9.0.45 without any issue but the status always incomplete with version 9.0.115. When using 9.0.115 it seem there is not communication between OLM player and the application (nothing showup in the java console).
    I checked Adobe website and this is what they quoted:
    ActionScript 2 getURL() and ActionScript 3 navigateToURL()calls such as getURL("javascript:myFunction();") fail with live web-server content if the HTML and SWF are in separate domains. This issue appears in Internet Explorer versions 6 and 7.

    Dharma,
    I just tried a piece of flash content using 9.0.115 on iLearning and had no issues, and this should be no different than OLM.
    Is the SCORM Adapter set up and in use with debugging turned on? Do you see information in the java console when running the content using the other version of Flash?

  • Installing Adobe Flash Player via microsoft Group Policy

    I created two MSI files as recommended by Adobe and install the flash player updates through Group Policy. I have it setup so that the MSI files get published in windows 7 program/features. so when people are on the VPN they can install it manually. When they click on the application, they get an error saying you must have administrative priviliedges to install adobe flash player 12.
    There is something in the MSI file stopping it from installing as if you publish it in Program/Features via Group Policy it should allow them to install it without administrative rights as they can install Java software with no issues.ny assistan
    Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

    Win2012, like Win 8, has Flash Player embedded into IE by Microsoft. The ActiveX plugin cannot be installed from any download here. There is a Windows Update KB patch and two registry keys that prevent it. Unless you manually remove those, the only way to do anything with Flash Player ActiveX for Win8 or Win2012 is through Windows Update.
    Those losers in Redmond (or India) only told you to get it fixed here because they REFUSE to accept responsibility for the gabrage browser they shoved down everyone's throats with IE11.
    If you're in a corporate environment and cannot use another browser, then the best you can do is repair IE (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318378) and run Windows update again.
    If you need the "standalone" Flash Player Projector, it's here: Download the Windows Flash Player 13 Projector
    If you need the plug-in for other browsers, it's here: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    But there is no updating the ActiveX plug-in from here, in spite of what Microsoft told you.

  • Flash "Spinny" loader corrupted in FF in Windows with Flash player 10

    Everywhere else I have this on our site, it works fine.
    Here is where it is broken
    In a firefox browser (2, 3, 3.5) with flash player 10 in windows xp (flash player 9 looks fine)
    Everywhere else it looks fine.  I have attached the swf file & a screenshot of what it looks like when it is corrupted.
    I have tried saving it several different ways, but currently it is saved with these settings:
    Version: flash player 9
    Load order: bottom up
    Actionscript version: 2.0
    things checked:
    - Omit trace actions

  • Trying to find the URL used when installing Flash player via ActiveX pop-up

    I'm trying to determine what URL would be used when a customer clicks on the Activex Pop-up to install Flash player. 
    I've found a document that indicates the URL used when updating Flash Player via the Auto updater, but I think they are different URLs....  Can anyone help?

    thanks guys for the replies.
    Just to clarify, I am in no way having troubles installing Flash player.  I'm a tech specialist, and have been for many years.  I am fully able and aware of how to update Flash player.
    What I am trying to get is the URL that would be used when a client click on the "Install Adobe Flash Player" ActiveX Pop-up.
    thanks for the URLs you sent, and I do have those, I'm just wondering if any can confirm "as for sure as possible" what URL is used with that ActiveX Pop up.
    Our corporate has several web-based products that do NOT work with th emost recent version of Flash Player.
    We are trying to find all possible Flash Player installer URLS that are used, so we can block them on our Proxy server.
    Thanks again for everyone's reply, and if anyone knows for sure the info I need, please let me know

  • Unable to download flash Player via internet explorer

    Hi,
    I am trying to download adobe flash player via internet explorer.  Everytime I try to download,the web page does not respond anymore.
    I closed my anti-virus, my internet explorer runs on 128-bit. 
    I really need to download this via explorer because my HP printer (vivera with scanner) is not going to work if the coreect version is not downloaded via explorer.
    Would appreciate your help.
    Thank yuo.

    Hello,

  • Difficulties installing flash player via GPO

    Hello, I'm attempting to try and deploy flash player via GPO to computers on our domain, and in testing, I am unable to get the MSI's to install after doing a gpupdate and letting the PC restart as it requests.
    I've followed the instructions Adobe has listed for deploying to AD via GPO to the letter, I have the shares on a publicly accessible location, the software assigned in the GPO, and the GPO linked to my testing container with the testing PCs. All the PCs are fully patched,  just nothing happens after a reboot. I can publish the MSI's just fine to where I can see them available to install via GPO, but I want to assign them instead. Does anyone have some insights into what could be going wrong?

    I'm still not having any luck with this, does anyone have any advice at all?

  • Does firefox have the same problem as internet explorer with flash player

    IE is having problems with adobe flash player. Before I download it on Mozilla platform I need to know if Mozilla is also having issues with flash player.

    There are some known issues with the Shockwave Flash plugin for Firefox that some are suffering from, so you will have install the plugin to see if you need to take action and how the plugin works.
    In case there are problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions, you can try this:
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
    See also:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting
    A possible option is to set the Flash plug to click-to-play by setting the permissions for Flash to "Ask To Activate" in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins".<br />
    That way you can activate the Flash plugin when you need it via the Lego block icon on the location bar.

  • Errors on my web site started with Flash Player Release a few days ago (Mar 28, 2012)

    Hi,
    I have a Flash based video player on my website.  This was designed and implemented based on an article vy Lisa Larson-Kelley.  It has run flawlessly for several years.  But, when I installed the lastest release of Flash Player a fedw days ago (Mar 28, 2012), I am now getting really annoying issues with the Flash Video Player.
    I expect that I will need to place insturctions for users on how to roll back their version of Flash Player, since this latest version is broken.
    But, many of the people who visit my site are not tech oriented (they are mostly friends and family, so, I don't expect that they will really roll back their version of Flash player.
    I am 100% certain the issue is the latest version of Flash, since these errors never occurred until I installed the latest version. 
    On my work laptop, I have an older version of Flas (10.x.x) and this probelm does not happen.  On my desktop PC at home, I have an older version of Flash 11 installed, and this problem does not happen (in IE9).  The version of Flash PLayer 11 where the issue does *not* occur is 11.1.102.63.
    On that same desktop PC, if I use Chrome, (which automatically defaults to the latest version of Flash which is 11.2.202.228, I get the problems.  So, there is no question that the issue is with the latest version of Flash and not my hardware or drivers.  I get the same problems on three different computers.
    My website has a username and password.  If someone from Adobe wants to replicate the problem send me an e-mail and I will send you the username and password.
    The videoplayer on my website is at this url:  http://www.jjjhi.com/TryMakingFlashVidPlayer/VideoPlaylist.html (but, you will need the username and password).
    The issue is that sometimes (not always) when you select a video to play, inistead of the video loading into the panel as it should (sized as 1025 x 578), instead, all you see is the control skin.  The video begins to play, but all you get is the audio.  It looks like this:
    You can recover from this error by using the skin control to make the image full screen, but, the video looks poor at fulls screen, because it is created at 1024 x 578.  You can then get the correct size by returning from full screen, but, I don't want the pepole who visit my cif\deo playet to have to go all through that.  Especially since most won't even know enough to try making the video full screen.
    This doesn't happen for every video on my web site, but, once it *does* happen once...it will happen for every video selection you make.
    This is unacceptable, and it absolutely a function of Flash version 11.2.202.228.
    Adobe:  Please fix this bug as soon as possible.
    I've implemented an HTML5 based video player and have begun populating it with mp4 versions of my video clips, but, quite honestly, the playback using HTML5 is much worse than with Flash.  I encoded the clips in the HTML5 player with the same Variable Bit Rates as in the F4V clips, and, in the HTML5 player, there are missed frames, and the audio can get out of sync.  So, I *want* to keep using my Flash Based video player, but...if Adobe doesn;t fix this, I will just dial down my VBR till I find one that is slow enough to play in HTML5 and ditch Flash.
    My HTML5 video player is here:
    http://www.jjjhi.com/TryMakingNewVideoPlayer/NewVidPlayer_option1_jth.html
    (again you need the username and password to use it, send me an e-mail and I will give them to you, I just don't want to post them in an open forum).
    Here is a bitmap of the page:  It is quite snazzy looking and is based on an excellent class from Chris Converse at Lynda.com.  But, even though it is 'snazzy looking' the HTML5 player performs poorly on an under-powered machine (like my work laptop).  It uses 100% CPU and misses frames and the audio loses sync.  The same videos encoded with the same VBR for Flash (F4V) play great, *except for the new issue described above!!!!)
    I Adobe can fix this issue with Flash Player 11.2.202.228  ASAP, else, I will  have to 'downgrade' to an HTML5 based video player, that, quite honestly does not perform as well as Flash.
    If you want to reproduce the problem contact me at my e-mail address: [email protected] and I'll send you the username and password.
    You can then prove that the problem does not exist with prior version of Flash player (before 11.2.202.228) but *does* exist with this latest buggy release.
    Thanks,
    John

    Thanks.
    I sent the username and PW to you and Chris.
    Cheers,

  • Camera just up and stopped working with flash player. SUUUUPER annoying. Any ideas?

    Hi:
    Windows XP SP3 32bit, latest updates applied
    Firefox 3.6.6 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0E))
    IE 8.0.6001.18702
    Flash Player 10,1,53,64
    HP EliteBook 8530w with built-in HP camera (brand spankin' new).
    So Flash Player today decided it doesn't want to work with my webcam. I have pulled my hair out trying to figure out what the problem is. The camera works fine with other video camera software, such as Adobe Flash Live Encoder 3.1, for example, or the various Microsoft cam tools. But Flash Player just won't see it. When I visit a website that uses the camera through flash, all I get is a black box. I never get the privacy screen that asks me if I would like to allow the site temporary access to my camera.If i go into my settings, and go to the camera tab, it shows my camera device in the dropdown box. But you know how if you double-click the little box under the dropdown, it should activate your camera and display a little video inside that box? That doesn't work for me. All I get is this:
    It doesn't matter if I use FF or IE. I've re-installed Flash Player, both the FF version and the Ax version. To no avail. I've logged into my computer as a different user, because hell maybe it's some weird dumb thing in the Flash Player cache or something. Nope.
    Now here's the super, super, super annoying part: I just recently moved to this laptop and one of the things I was looking forward to was a computer where my webcam would FINALLY work with flash player again. Yes, that's right: my old computer had this exact same problem. And in both cases, at one point the camera worked with Flash player no problem, and then at some point, it just stopped working.
    This makes me think, of course, that the problem is some nefarious piece of software I've installed, but I can't think of what that is. I know the camera was working with my new computer as early as last week. Recently I've installed a bunch of software, including Adobe Media Live Encoder 3.1, Flash Professional CS5, and the Adobe Connect add-in. I've uninstalled everything except CS5, because, hey, who wants to re-install that if they don't have to? I'll do that as a last result, but the guy sitting next to me has the entire CS5 suite installed and camera works fine for him with Flash Player (same exact hardware too), so I don't think it's that. Other than that, I dunno. I've got VS2008 and 2010 installed. GoToMeeting. Office. That's about it.
    So. Any ideas? Any thoughts on how I could even start to debug the issue? Logging or something? Any help is much appreciated.

    Yes.
    Victory is mine.
    VICTORY IS MINE!!!
    Solution:
    Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg
    Set
    AVHardwareDisable=1
    to:
    AVHardwareDisable=0
    Restart your browser. Done. Camera works now.
    I really want to shout this solution from the rooftops, because try Googling the solution sometime. I did. I failed. You will too. Hopefully if I use some more 18-point bold font, Google will index it faster, because that's the way it works right?
    I actually had no idea that Flash Player has a folder in Windows\system32 at all, and I definitely had no idea that this file existed. I am guessing some stinking app I installed decided I needed AVHardwareDisable set to 1 for some reason (effers). I found out about the location by just lazily searching through the windows registry for "Flash Player" and eventually saw it pointing to that directory. A little more poking around and I found this file.
    Those of you who actively support this forum: please keep this in the back of your mind, next time someone has audio/video input problems with Flash Player. I've found an awful lot of forum posts from people with cameras not working, and I bet a good portion of them need this fix. Reinstalling Flash Player will not fix it. Here's hoping the solution comes up in Google for the next unlucky soul.

    Everything was good unless Flash Player and Mozilla notificated that update is necessary :<
