Dev help os x - flash player draws incorrect movies when scaled

Hi,
I am using the WebKit on OS X 10.6 to embed flash files into my Powerpoint-ish application
This works fine as long as I do not scale the file.
If I scale the file using an offset of "bounds" and "frame" the flash
movie is drawn at the wrong size and the controls in the movie work
but are offset.
My whole application would need a big change to move to a different
method of scaling than offsetting bounds and frame so I would like
this technique to work.
I have tried subclassing "WebView" and overriding -drawRect to undo
the bounds/frame difference during -drawRect but that had no effect.
The code is below and the project is included.
Any ideas how to work around this?
Thanks,
Jim
- (void)awakeFromNib
NSRect frame = [owningView frame];
// setting float to 1.0f makes this sample work fine.
float zoom = 0.8f;
[owningView setFrame: NSMakeRect(0, 0, frame.size.width * zoom, frame.size.height * zoom)];
[owningView setBounds: NSMakeRect(0, 0, frame.size.width, frame.size.height)];
NSData* datad = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:@"triangle.swf"];
[[webView mainFrame] loadDataNSData *)datad MIMEType:@"application/x-shockwave-flash"
textEncodingName:@"UTF-8" baseURL: nil];

No, the problem still occurs.
It's weird there are no plug-in errors or something.

with fp uninstalled:
as a side note: a few weeks ago, I made a new clean Mac OS installation because of a harddrive replacement. So, the whole system is actually very tidy...

  • Please Help Me Install Flash player

    Yesterday I unintentionally uninstalled Flash player with a product named Perfect Uninstaller. During the process it states that the Item I uninstalled will be uninstalled now and forever. Every time I click "run" to install it starts for about one second and then stops completely. I'm beginning to think that they meant it and that there is some sort of blocking going on but that is just an assumption. I hope some can help. I am a novice obviously. I am using Windows XP.

  • Help after installing Flash Player

    I just installed Flash Player 10,1,102,64 and the adobe website recognizes this.  It is also listed under programs when I go to unintall programs in my control panel.  However, I can't find the program to use it.  It doesn't show up under programs on my computer or when I search for it.  Also, I can't open videos that use it.  My operating system is Windows 7 and I'm using Internet Explore 32-bit.  Please help!

    Hi, Flash Player is a browser plugin and works thru your browser. It won't be listed in your Program files, but in the Control Panel as you have indicated.
    Go to Tools, Manage addons and look under "Show"(very light text) in All addons. Shockwave Flash Object must be Installed, Enabled and version 10.1.102.64. This is the ActiveX Control for Flash Player.
    Let me know on that.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Flash Player Information - incorrect

    Checking flash player information on:
    1. Internet explorer:
    Why when I look at flash player information on the website it says "none" for browser? It should say internet explorer.
    When I check under mozilla firefox, it correctly lists the browser as mozilla firefox. So why when I'm in internet explorer, it does not list internet explorer as the browser?
    2. Google Chrome
    The flash player information incorrectly says my operating system is windows 7 (32 bit) - wrong - it is 64 bit.
    The version of the adobe flash player is not current on google chrome.
    The up to date version is 11.9.900.152 but it says 11.9.900.170.
    I understand that google chrome updates the flash player automatically but when I go to the google chrome and check about chrome - it says it is up to date. If it is up to date, why isn't the flash player version up to date for google chrome?

    This is a known problem with Internet Exploder 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.

  • I need help with Adobe Flash Player, PLEASE!

    I have been on multiple site trying to play games or watch videos (e.g. YouTube) and keep getting an error message saying I have to install Adobe Flash Player in order to play/view.  I have done this multiple times and currently have Flash Player 11 ActiveX and Flash Player 11 Plugin.  What more do I need to do because it still won't let me watch the video or play the games!
    PLEASE HELP ME!
    Additional info:  I just wound up downloading Google Chrome (but don't like it) and don't have the same problem.  So, it's only happening  when I am trying to do all this on Internet Explorer 9.

  • Help downloading latest flash player

    I have been having problems with trying to download latest free flash player. I have tried different ways that I know but nothing will help should I just delet it and start all over again so it doesn't show that I have flash player just not the latest one?

    I downloaded the zip but I can't find the file or number to do the rest. I'm not very good with computer so what you are saying to me I'm trying to do but don't know where to find things. Sorry but am trying to do it but I don't know. The only Adobe showing is the shockwave and in file if I was in the right place doesn't even show there in file. When I went to do mange add on only shockwave shows and it's said it's enabled. Does this make since(sp) what I'm saying about it?

  • After the latest version of Adobe flash player was installed, movies and tv shows will not play, and

    After the latest version of Adobe Flash Player was installed,  movies and tv shows  will not run, and most of the news videos will not play. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but that does not help.

    I have windows (crap) seven and internet explorer.  When I try to access movies or tv shows, I'm always asked to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.  When I check the programs list, it indicates that Adobe Flash Player Active X is installed.  I have uninstalled adobe and reinstalled it several times.  Do you suppose this is a virus, and I need to redo the hard drive completely?

    Hello, I have a new Mac Book Pro and I am unable to get Adobe flash player to work. When I install it it says it has been installed. But where do I see the application that it is there?

    Check your system preferences.
    My copy of flash installed as a preferance pane.
    If its there you will be able to check the current installed version and set preferences for flash and updating.

    Hi s, well congrats on getting your brother's computer up and running. On your system, you have all correct Flash Player
    files for IE and FF, as well as the SWO and SWF.
    Since the Install of Flash Player, have you installed any programs that would have added any ActiveX Controls, or any other add ons or plug-ins?
    Have you had an opportunity to see if your brother's computer has the issue you have when watching the same websites?
    Are you using any ad-block in FF(Firefox) or any pop up blocker software installed?  I can't imagine updating to FP version 10 alone would cause this.
    Is this happening only on the BBC website? Does what you watch come thru the BBC website or youtube directly?
    We have your brother's computer to use to determine what is going on. If he is able to see the BBC website and what you
    are having problems with, then we can rule out the website.
    Other browser add ons, anti-virus programs, etc. affect the browser. Even tho, no problem with vs 9. Sometimes updates
    can have an affect, even with Windows as we all know:-)
    Thanks,

  • Please help... flash player updating issues...

    trying to update version 6.0r25... i downloaded the installer
    for version r79, and when i run it, it says it cant locate the
    plugins folder... so when i try to install without it, or make a
    folder for it, the install program just freezes up....
    have tried unsuccessfully to install for the last 10-15
    minutes, and same problem.. just continues to freeze..
    could you please help with assistance on this matter..
    thanks so much..

    I suspect this is a Yahoo problem. They'll need to update
    their Flash Plaeyr detection. I wrote about it yesterday in several
    threads on this forum, and in my blog at
    http://bentimagemedia.com/.
    You should contact them immediately and let them know.
    I ran a quick test and I had no problem using chat in FireFox
    with the FP10 plugin. It only failed when I tried it in IE6 with
    the FP10 ActiveX control (see below). Make a note of this when you
    contact yahoo.
    In the meantime, I'll see if we have any connections at yahoo
    that we can ping on our side..
    <<PS: Please note that I also have 'Adobe Flash Player
    9 ActiveX' installed as I use Firefox 3.0.3 on a Windows XP SP3
    system and sometimes some website components don't function without
    this ActiveX software.>>
    This is incorrect. The Flash Player ActiveX control is only
    used with IE Windows. All other browsers and platforms use the
    Flash Player plugin.
