Controlling embedded Flash player

Hi All,
I am working on a project whereby the embedded Flash player
(9) needs to be controlled from code.
The following must be accomplished:
There is a list of .swf files stored in a XML file on the web
server. (These .swf files are converted from .mpg movie files.)
The Flash player needs to load the first .swf file.
When it finishes playing the first file it must load the next
one and start playing it automatically.
This process needs to be repeated until the last .swf file is
played.
Whilst playing the .swf file corresponding text must be shown
in a textbox on the same web-page.
When the player finishes playing the last file it must
restart at the first file for the second time
and repeat the whole process the second time but now when it
reaches a certain file for the second time
the player must stop and ask the user a question. The user
will type in his/her answer.
When the answer is correct the Flash player will continue to
play the next file else show the correct answer, mark the question
as wrongly answered and then continue on to the next .swf file.
After the Flash player finishes playing the last file it must
check if any question was wrongly answered.
If so then that .swf file will be shown again and the
question & answer game will be repeated.
When all questions have been answered correctly the user will
be redirect back to the calling page.
The current development environment for the project is C#.NET
2.0
Any help in accomplishing this is very much appreciated.
Best regards,
Arjan

Hello ak_kanan,
Welcome to the forums.
Try doing the following. In the browser swipe down from the top and choose Settings, now choose Content, here where it says Enable Flash change this to Off. Now try going to the website that was not working (it will not work again this is fine) Once on the page swipe down from the top again and this time enable the Flash setting. Now reload the page and test to see if you have the same issue.
Let us know how you make out.

Is it possible to implement a c# application with embedded flash player on WinCE

I have read a great article from Mike Chambers:
Embedding Flash Player in Windows Applications using C#. I
think the solution works fine in PC environment, but I need to
develop a similar C# application with embedded flash player which
runs on WinCE environment(including Pocket PC and SmartPhone). My
questions are:
1. Is it possible to develop the C# application with
embedded flash player on WinCE environment?
2. If question 1 is possible, how can I install the
"Macromedia Flash Player ActiveX control for PPC" into my Visual
Studio .NET on PC environment for development?
3. Can the "Flash Player for Pocket PC Distribution Kit"
help to package the C# application with flash player? Do I have to
use that to package my C# application for WinCE?

You cannot do this natively - .NET does not natively support
AX controls.
You can achieve this with CFCOM
http://www.odysseysoftware.com/products_cfcom.asp
or with OpenCF.NET
http://www.opennetcf.org/ .
OpenCF is free.
Alternatively, it is possible to build your own COM wrapper
using C++ but I
don't know how to achieve this.

"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.

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?

BBC Embedded Flash Player - Playback Error

When trying to view video content on the BBC Online websites using an embedded player, I receive the following error regardless of what browser/OS I use;
This content doesn't seem to be working. Please try again later.
The Flash Player detailed error information reads;
Error code : 1024
Severity : critical
Description : No further playback is possible following a mediation error
Responsibility : MediaSelector
Could anyone advise a solution to this problem? I have Flash Player 16.0.0.305 installed.

I have this exact same issue. I've recently built 3 computers for friends, this one I'm typing from being the third.
They're all using windows 7 64bit, all have the same hardware and the same basic software. I've built them about a month apart and the first 2 work perfectly. This last one is having nothing but troubles with the exact issues described by the O.P. except my issues are across all browsers.
IE will play all youtube videos WITHOUT FLASH, but I can't play videos from a site like Steam. So when I put in the newest flash player everything goes to pot. Oddly enough though I will be able to play videos on steam, but that's because steam videos only have 1 resolution and don't try to auto-adjust. Youtube starts to cycle through resolutions, restarting each time, before finally just quitting and giving an error message. Again this happens in both FF and IE (I won't put the spyware known as chrome on any machine).
I've tried every fix and solution I can find for 2 days now and I'm at my wit's end. If I see one suggestion for hardware acceleration I'm going to snap! lol. No spyware, no malware, tried hardware acceleration, tried the official uninstall tool, have uninstalled both browsers (diabled IE from the control panel, I realize that it can't be uninstalled per se), have deleted cookies, deleted a specific windows update that someone mentioned was corrupt. I've done the hokey pokey, sacrificed a goat, thrown salt over my shoulder, and eaten a spoonful of sugar.
I'm about ready to try a fresh install. I just cannot figure out why this computer is having so many problems with flash and every other computer I've done in the last year and a half (around 12) has gone smooth as silk.

Embedding Flash Player in a wxWidgets app using NPAPI

Hi,
I'm busy working on a wxWidgets control that will be able to host a Flash Player plugin via the NPAPI (Netscape Plugin API). I've written a basic hosting component based on wxPanel, implemented the relevant NPAPI hooks and mechanisms to instantiate, configure and stream SWF data to the plugin. When executing the code under Win32/Win64, everything seems to work fine, but taking the code over to the Mac, things go a little south. I am going to try and give as much information as I can, but can post the project if needs be for further assistance.
I understand that there are operating system specific things I have to do when hosting Netscape plugins under Mac, for example using NP_Port (when using QuickDraw) or NP_CGContext when using Core Graphics, and firing events into the plugin due to the fact that there is no concept of child windows.
However, with all this done, I still have not been able to get the flash player to render itself. I am also seeing some differences in the plugin's behaviour when requesting data from the host via NPN_GetURLNotify().
If anyone has any experience with this kind of work, or has an intimate knowledge of embedding the flash player inside an OS X application, I would be greatly appreciative of any advice/help you can offer.
Thank you.

Hi Carribus,
I'm working on the same thing as you but using Qt and have painting working under Mac/Win. Are you trying to paint in windowed and/or windowless mode? Your problem might be with values of struct NPWindow.clipRect/.x/.y and passing to NPP_SetWindow(). If you are painting in windowed mode clipRect have to match the position of your control.
As for NPN_GetURLNotify() I've not got around to that fully.

Hi, I think Pat suggested the SubInACL link. It has helped users before. If you have tried it and it didn't help then I don't see any need to repeat it. What I would like you to do before we do anything else, is to take a look at the Revised Adobe Troubleshooting Guide than came out on 7/21/10. It has a section on Permissions needed to Install Flash Player and something you can do rather easily to confirm that you do have permissions.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
I just finished working with someone that had RealPlayer and the add ons and no matter how many times he Disabled the add ons, they would automatically re-enable themselves during the Reboot(during the Uninstall/Install) So you could try to Disable them and check right after running the Uninstall and after the first Reboot.
Since you used the DLM, check in your IE add ons to see if there is a getplus, get_atlcom Class or a DLM Control listed.
If so, Disable them all.
The Uninstaller is used to remove old Flash Player files. If you want to check your Flash folder, or have done so and can confirm that there are no Flash files whatsoever, then no you don't need to use it.
I would still Disable SuperAntiSpyware during the Install. The Windows Firewall would not block Flash Player, but you can Disable it if you like.
While you are doing that I'll give you the link for the McAfee Removal Tool unless you have it.
Thanks,

Full screen problem, with embedded flash player in a flash player

Hi,
I am having an issue with the flash video player embedded within a flash player movie. The issue is that when my main flash is in Full Screen mode and I try to open that screen where embedded movie player is, when it is opened the inner movie player covers the complete screen, on the other hands it should show that embedded player in normal condition with other background stuffs.
Can anyone guide me what step should I take to avoid this or if it is possible to do this kind of scenario in Full Screen mode or not?
Looking forward to your prompt help.

Volume control in flash player

I can't seem to find a way to control the volume of the ads that appear when watching videos. The ads block the volume control and are much higher than the flash volume settings. Congress passed a law, called CALM to make this unlawful, but it seems that broadcasters are not willing to comply. The volume hurts the ears and I can't find a way to control it with some kind of master volume control.
Does anyone know of a solution?

Veetle.com and Justtin.TV are two examples. I usually have my OS volume at about 1/2 and this allows me to set the volume inside Flash at about 75% The problem is that when the ads inside flash come up, they are at full volume.
The law that Congress passed states that it must be at the average volume. The ads shut off the volume control so you have no choice to lower the volume. Before, they did have a volume control within the ad. I think Hulu did this.
One of the reasons the law was passed was because the volume was set very low on the base program (tv show) then the ads would come on much louder. Congress passed a law last year that takes effect in two days stating that they must be at the average volume.
I run serveral programs and have the OS volume set so that I can here other programs, then some ad comes on a blasts my ears with no way to control the volume within the ad.
If you read the law as it is written, it must be at the average volume.
It's clear the advertisers have found a way to bypass the volume set in the Flash player
According to the law, the volume of the ad needs to be the same volume as the program.
"The bill passed on September 29, 2010. The bill requires the use of technology to ensure that commercials will be played at the same volume as the program."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_Advertisement_Loudness_Mitigation_Act
http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/loud-commercials
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20025823-503544.html
I'm not sure how the ads are produced, but simply having a volume control on the ads would at least help. It can be pretty painful to have someone scream in your ears. If someone is using headphones as I sometimes do, or self powered speakers as I always do they can suffer damage to the ears.
