.Exe with Flash detection

Hey fellow Flash users,
i'm wondering if anyone could tell me how to publish a EXE
file in Flash that has an incorporated Flash Detection script.
For the moment i'm using a AS based detection for my sfw
file(downloaded from and Adobe site). Problem being that ithe final
product has to be a selfrunning demo, wich means an exe file
executing the swf file in a player.(atleast in my case).
I know it's possible to publish a SWF to an EXE, but by doing
so, the different files, AS and directories the Action scripts need
are not incorporated in the EXE file.
Is there a way to compact all the different AS files,
directories and swf files to one EXE file ?
any help will be appriciated.
greets

What you have said here doesn't make any sense to me. Flash
Detection script usually means a way to detect what Flash player
the user has installed and either adjust itself or recommend that
the user update their player.
By publishing an EXE you are bundling the player into the
file and even if the end user has a different version installed it
won't matter. The EXE will use the version that is included inside
the EXE so no detection is necessary.
Now if your problem is that the external assets aren't
included in the EXE, then no detection script is going to help.
There are two ways to address this. Just include the external
assets on a CD or something. Remember that all load paths will be
relative to the EXE. It is very easy to construct a self-running
demo of this sort. Just keep everything nicely organized.
There are also third party tools which allow for packaging
everything together into one file. I haven't used them so I don't
know how well any of them work.

Hi
Can you tell me which version of dreamweaver you are using (and flash pro, if you have it), as the code you provided has element of a number of different versions (e.g. your js flash files are reasonably new, but your flash inserted into the html body is old, but with the cs3 version of flash player indicated!). Also the detect flash file is no longer required.

Windows 8 exe with flash cs6 ?

Hi,
I'm used to create .exe for PC with Adobe Flash Pro.
I don't know windows 8 and I'm asked to create windows 8 app.
I understood several things looking to the Internet, so thanks to say if the followings are right :
- We can't create native windows 8 app for windows store like we can do for iOS and Android with Flex for example. (since next release of adobe Air..)
- If the device runs windows 8 RT, only windows astore app can be installed and used.
- If the device runs windows 8 Pro, we can used "old" exe files.
My questions now, are the followings :
- Is it possible to create "old" exe file with Flash Pro, AND run it on a windows 8 Pro tablette, AND put a tile on the windows 8 metro UI to launch the exe file ?? (I repeat I don't know windows 8 so I don't know if my question is silly or not..)
- Is it possible for that "old" exe file to get the gesture like swipe ? If yes, do I need something more than juste Flash Pro (air? flex?)
- If the answer of the two last questions is "no", what do I need to create an app running on windows 8 (RT? PRO?) that contains screens providing videos, pictures sliders and simple animated texts, putting a tile on the windows 8 metro UI (if we have to put it manually it's not a problem) ? Is there a easy solution using Flash technology (because actionscript is easy for event control and animation, and because I like Flash ) ?
Thank's for your interest,
Fabien

Do you receive any error messages when this occurs? Could you navigate to "about:crashes" and copy/paste the results that are displayed?
For working around this, I'd recommend reverting back to 11.7 until this can be resolved.
Where can I find direct downloads of Flash Player 11.7 for Windows or Macintosh?

Help installing flash detection express

I need some help installing the flash express detection
script.
Can anyone advise me on this?
1) This tutorial assumes that you have already added the
Flash 8 detection scripts to a web page (as explained in the
synopsis
of the implementation process) and have already downloaded the
Flash Player Detection Kit:
a) After you've exported HTML with Flash detection from Flash
8, move the JavaScript code found within the template's
<head> tag to the same location in your page along with the
JavaScript include, AC_OETags.js.
What exactly is it there asking me to do here?
Export what html with flash detection?
Are they talking about when I insert the swf movie file?
Not sure what there saying!
Can you advise?

I have several times tried to install adobe flash player (which I'l call ADF for short) and follow each step carefully, to the last step (apparently) stating that ADF is installed,but then I get an email from one source or another asking me to install ADF. I have gone through this routine a number if times, and have a bunch of "Install ADF" signs scatted all over my desktop (I have an iMac).
Most recently, I have received a message that, in order to install ADF, I need to uninstall all previous ADF's BEFORE I download and install an ADF, so I download the uninstall App, thinking I will get some instuction, with that download in uninstalling the ADF residuals on my desktop
Instead, what I get is a potful of UNINSTALL ADF units (which I don't know what to do with, littering my desktop.

Firefox is constantly freezing up, and I can't get it going again until I close pluginscontainer.exe which, when freezing, is quite large (sometimes even as big as 300MB). What is causing this? It seems to happen on pages with Flash.

I have already tried reinstalling Firefox, using both the BETA and Stable releases. I've cleared all of my plugins and started over with them, reinstalling Flash multiple times as well. After an uninstallation, I even went as far as deleting Mozilla from my Appdata folder on my user account and from Program Files to assure complete uninstallation.
This crash happens multiple times in a day, I can't go 20 minutes of browsing without this happening.
Also, there are multiple instances of plugin-container.exe running (right now, 5).
Thank you so much for your help, this issue has been driving me up the wall and I just could not get it to stop.

There is a known issue where multiple instances of plugin container open if history or cookies are cleared. Are you, or some utility clearing firefox cookies or history, that could be the reason. This problem continues even if plugins are disabled in Firefox.
*Are you opening multiple instances of Flash Player ?
* Is the problem reproducible ? <br/> for instance does it always crash the plugin or cause it to hang if you use a particular site ?
If you get the FlashPlayer plugin crashing use the option to submit the crash reports, it is then possible to follow them up. It is possible to stop the plugincontainer opening, but that could result in a firefox crash. Of course the firefox crash can also send crash reports out, and that could be useful.
* see [[plugin crash reports]]
* [[what is plugin-container]]
* [[firefox crashes]]
There are some problems with FlashPlayer currently under investigation, and there may be other threads in the forum about problems. (e.g. Bug 561019 - Plugin waveOutOpen hangs )
Sometimes using Firefox 3.6 is a workaround that helps with FlashPlayer problems, if you wish to experiment with that consider installing firefox Portable and using Firefox 3.6.23 (or soon 3.6.24) for tests with flash player, whilst keeping firefox 7 for day to day browsing.

Flash exe with transparent background

Hi,
   Is there a way to project an EXE with transparent background from flash (only using flash).
If not only flash,
      then what else should I use??
As I know there are softwares like NorthCode, Zinc, etc., But all of them affects the script in some way like "fscommand("quit");, loadMovie();" does not seem working.
What I exactly need is:
1) Flash projector (EXE as well as APP) with transparent background
2) I need to loadMovie (call exteranl swfs) into the main projector file.
      "note:The external swfs are FlashPaper files, so I should I have access to API, so that I could resize them, edit UI as I want."
Thanks in Advance.

Problem with Flash in XP

Hello,
I use firefox and after installing latest suggested version of flashplayer plugin I got several time a warning that the plugin had stopped unexpectedly.
I went to mozilla website, they suggested to remove RealPlayer and eventually, uninstall flash and install the 10.03 or the 11.2 version
I uninstalled it following the steps in your website but the 10.03 prevented me from playing some flipbooks I created. So, I unistalled this version and installed the 11.2 but I'm still not able to run one of my flipbooks created I always get a blank page with the title of the book in the bar but never charge the rest.
Here's a shot of what I get. It should be an .exe with built-in player and it worked till this morning.
thank you for the help to check the flipbook you can visit this link
http://wocmultimedia.com/fbooks/cilavegna/cilavegnarivistademo.exe
Very Important, the same flipbook and all others I can play if I use the HTML/Flash version with the browser so is the standalone .exe version that are not playing at all

And what are you willing to pay for this thing? I think you just better keep dreaming......

Unable to view flash content with Flash 10,0,22,87 as an Non Admin

We currently have an issue with in our Citrix farm with Windows 2003 Servers (x64, R2, SP1) Where Flash Flash 10,0,22,87 is installed and working fine when logged in as a Domain administrator but will not work as a normal (non administrative user) to confirm I've given a user who it did not work for Domain admin rights and it started working straight away. I'm using (and published within Citrix) the 32bit version on IE for compadibility reasons and have also tired this on a Window 2003 Server (x86 R2 SP1) and am getting the same results so I have to assume the issue is with Flash and not with my setup.
I've tried the following recommendations:
Remove with Adobe Flash removal tool and Reinstalling via website with an Domain admin login using the change user /install command
Remove with Adobe Flash removal tool and Reinstalling via install_flash_player_ax.exe installer with a domain admin account using the change user /install command
Allowing Domain users Modify Premissions (to both the Directories and Files) to the M:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\swflash.ocx & M:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\Flash10b.ocx
Following KB article http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/624/624850b5.html and applying the premission changes recommended
Following KB article http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19148.html and checking the registry premissions on these items
I've enabled all ActiveX and Java related IE options in Group Policy to allow the to run for the Internet Zone
When going to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ either as a Domain admin or a Regular user it confirms that "You have version 10,0,22,87 installed"
Still I cant seem to get flash components of websites to load when logged in as a non Administrative User.

this is what fixed the issuefor me:
Be sure to try this on a test machine and back it up if needed.
In the system registry
For each of the following registry keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}

Uninstalled IE with flash player, installed firefox and added flash player - doesn't work!

Hey guys,
I have just used Revo Uninstaller Pro to remove IE 9 (I think ... it's the standard built in IE taht comes with my Win7 Home Premium 64 bit OS). I had flash player installed in IE. Upon uninstalling all flash components from my computer using Revo, I did an "advanced" search to find all leftover registry entries and files/folders associated with Flash. While doing this, Revo had warned me of some files that "have recently been added" (I believe since initial installation of Flash), and gave me the option of deleting these one at a time. I cannot remember what these files included, but looking at a posting from another person, i seem to recognize some files that I *may* have deleted while removing with Revo:
Flash10d.ocx
Flash10e.ocx
FlashUtil10e.exe
GetFlash.man
install.log
swflash.inf
uninstall_activeX.exe
(again, I have no idea if ANY of the above were the actual ones I deleted, but I seem to remember seeing a couple of these at least listed to me as options to delete)
I proceeded to remove ALL files from my computer.
Then, upon installing Firefox and, subsequently installing flash on it, I noticed that some flash websites load and work properly, whereas other ones don't. I also been to the adobe confirmation page stating taht I have successfully installed and am running Adobe Flash player. Is this simply a case of missing one key component in flash?
Before the entire uninstall mission I did, I remember revo as listing more than 1 Flash programs installed. I believe I had seen two flash 11 programs installed in Revo, which I thought were just simply duplicate installations. I vaguely remember one of them being listed as Flash player 11 and the other as Flash player 11 activex? (both were removed off my system).
Are these files different and did I, in fact, need both of these installed?
Anyway, I have no idea where to go from here. Help please!
Thanks!

So what Flash Player version do you have currently installed?

Need Help with Flash Video

Hi, I have a template set up for a site with editable regions
for text. I have been trying to insert Flash Video Content, and
once I complete entering it in the popup window with settings, etc.
I get the following message "Making this change would required
changing code that is locked by a template or translator. The
change will be discarded." When I hit ok it disappears and the
video and code associated are nowhere on my page. What am I doing
wrong? Is there a setting to change in CSS templates to allow one
to insert Flash video?
Thanks for any help!

Also, you need to DISABLE the Flash detection when you insert
the video.
This is to prevent the insertion process from trying to write
that detection
call into the body tag of the child page, which is locked.

Firefox 7 consistantly crashes with flash content

This is quite frustrating. Ever since the release of FF6 the performance of Firefox with Flash related content literally sucks! The plugin container is ALWAYS crashing consistently.
It seems that in Mozilla race to compete with Google Chrome in their rapid releases has resulted in rapid blunders. If better testing was in place this crap would not be happening. Mozilla needs to slow their roll in all honesty of people that have been long time Firefox users are going to move to Google Chrome since it is not plagued with issues that are getting all kinds of loyal Firefox fans pissed off over something so simple as flash.
I have had more problems with crashing since Firefox 5 has come out. Obviously the proper testing has not been done by Mozilla. In the 3. series i maybe crashed once a year, now is daily! WAKE UP MOZILLA!
Before I go any further i have read numerous post in here with people have the same problem. I have also done some testing on my own from what Mozilla suggests, in which NONE of their solutions corrects this issue. My solution however, which is not a solution but more a work a round solves totally any plugin-container.exe crashing. It was simply to roll back to Firefox 4.01. I updated to the newest flash player via their site.
I have been crash free for days now! THIS IS NOT AN ADOBE FLASH ISSUE. If it were then i would have crashed in 4.01 as well. For those concerned with the update nag, simply go to options->advanced-> and the tick boxes. that will prevent the nag
I thought that i could re-install Firefox 7 and simply replace the plugin-container.exe from 4.01, however that did not work. It resulted in a complete lock up of Firefox 7.01, and was honestly hoping that it would be that straight forward.
I read some peoples success with the 8b3. So, I tried that, and didn't solve my problem. I crashed within 24 hours again on flash related content. ( the crash ids are for the 8b3 i listed ).
Maybe someone needs to take the plugin container, and associated components in 4.01 and incorporate it in a new release, or revert back to that engine all together so that we can have a nice web experience without all the crashes.
You can get Firefox 4.01 here:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/4.0.1/
edit: replaced random unofficial download site link.

I have found the bug thread, and have posted several posts with information and some examples of sites that provide positive crashes.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=561019
From reading the posts, it looks as if Mozilla has moved this up a bit in priority according to reading into a post from one of the mozilla's team members since I have provided information concerning the crashes.
That particular bug ( Bug 561019 - Plugin waveOutOpen hangs ) is the TOP crasher of plugins:
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/topcrasher/byversion/Firefox/7.0.1/7/plugin
As far as reporting bug/hangs. The end user has to press the " submit crash report " link to submit it. If they do not it will sit there until you go into about:crashes
For hangs that DO NOT produce a crash you once again have to go into about:crashes and click on all the reports that DO NOT have a " bp " in front of them to get them to actually submit. They will post in about 3 minutes.
So for the "400 million" said users and " hard facts tend to suggest that most users do not crash " is unreliable to state since it is TOTALLY up to the end user to submit the report providing they know how. I know from working in a professional environment 99.9% of users do not submit error reports of any kind when something crashes the OS or any program. Even with the 9 members of my team they always click "do not send" except for myself.
" Get rid of plugin container " is a non option since you run the risk of features not working as i have found when you do that.
It does seem like a Firefox issue for several reasons: latest version of flash with Firefox v4.01 works flawlessly, and Chrome and IE do not have this issue with flash.

I have confirmed his complaint. stopAllSounds works correctly
across multiple swfs on an html page using Flash player 8 but not
with Flash Player 9.
Incidentally, there is another big "improvement" (they say)
that prevents you from uninstalling the Flash 9 player without
running
their uninstaller exe. Unfortunately, their uninstaller
uninstalls all flash player versions (not just version 9) from ALL
browsers
so if just want to remove player 9 from IE you are forced to
also uninstall it from FireFox etc as well. Great, huh?

Flash detection

I've got a problem with the javascript which should detect
the flash plugin version, if it is deactivated or if there is a
flash plugin installed. I deactivated Flash in my browser. Now I
want my page to tell me that I have to activate the flash plugin.
If I try it locally on my pc everything works fine. If I try to
upload it on our server it don't work. and my page shows a broken
image and seem to find a flash version. Our server is a linux
mashine. Does anybody know something about this problem? Might be a
problem to receive the data via HTTP?

HI! below is part of the swfobject code that is located in
the HTML page.
The first part in between the divs is displayed if the user
does not have
Flash plugin installed.
The next part has the movie to be played with the version
that is needed for
it to be played. in this case its version 8.0.22
This also works with the so.setAttribute("redirectUrl", IF
Flash is
detected but is lower than 8.0.22 then goto ExpressInstall
BUT IF the users
version is less than is needed for ExpressInstall to work
THEN "redirectUrl"
is used to redirect the user to another html page.
In that case it would be
"Errors_warnings/flash_not_detected.asp".
If you go back to geoff page and scroll down a bit you will
find that he
does has some examples of flash detect, flash verison, flash
expressInstall
( which will upgrade the users flash plugin automaticly). and
has a full
tutorial.
Usually people do reply as I am now, you must of hit slow
week.
