Flash, ActiveX and FlashVars
Hello everybody.
I looked in the forums and searched, but so far I got no
solution.
Is there a simple js that takes flashvars? Or I have to do it
all over again? (since is all working with flashvars)
Flash Player for NPAPI is Flash Player for Firefox
Flash Player for ActiveX is Flash Player for Internet Explorer
Flash Player for Chrome is built directly into the browser, so there's nothing separate to install or download.

Flash MX creates .swf files. Dreamweaver CS4 creates HTML
files, and
has the capability of inserting .swf files in a web page. It
doesn't
matter which version of Flash you use to create your .swf
files; they
can be inserted into a web page in any version of
Dreamweaver.

PDF Portfolio on Flash ActiveX
Is there any way to open PDF Portfolio's SWF file in Flash ActiveX (Visual C++ project)? How to implement communications between Flash ActiveX and its container? I know that Adobe has public PDF Reference and PDF portfolio is a part of this, but I can’t find any information about viewing PDF Portfolio content.
I was looking for it but I could not find. Please, give me the directions where I can find that documentation. Give me the link or send that documentation to [email protected] I'll be very grateful for any information concerning this subject. Can you tell me also what company has implemented viewing of PDF Portfolios with this method?

Help with C# and Flash ActiveX
Hello,
I want to ask if anyone knows a way to know when a flash
movie has been played completly one time in a C# form. The main
idea is to make a flash movie playlist and when a movie finish
change the activex control to the next movie in the list.
Im using ShockWaveFlash activex Control.
Thank you in advanceI changed up the swf code to version 2 and still have the
same
problem. For some reason IE does not read the xmlDataPath.
I've even
hard coded the value both as:
var xmlDataPath1 = 'test2';
and
flashvars.xmlDataPath = "eryx/test2/gallery.xml";
Any ideas?
Here is a link to the new page:

Cannot set FlashVars with Flash ActiveX 10.1.53.64
Hi,
My external container isn't able to set FlashVars since I upgraded to Flash version 10.1.53.64. What's the matter ?
A simple for loop didn't list anything in the loaderInfo.parameters object (for (var val:String in loaderInfo.parameters)).
It didn't happen with any older Flash version.
Environment:
Windows XP SP3
Container: Excel 2003, set FlashVars through VBA code
Flash ActiveX version 10.1.53.64
Thanks,
RicoNobody has encountered the same problem?
As a precision, I can set the FlashVars property through VBA code, but the FlashVars string remains empty after setting the variable and in my Flex 3 application, the variable "loaderInfo.parameters" did not contain anything (nothing is listed using a "for (var val:String in loaderInfo.parameters)" loop.
The same program used with Flash 10.0.45.2 lists parameters set through VBA code.
Any answer will be appreciated. -
Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX and Adobe Flash Player Plugin
Windows 7 64bit / IE8
I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX and Adobe Flash Player Plugin thinking they would be reinstalled together when I installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
Now I only see the entry for Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX 10.2.159.1 listed in - Uninstall or change a program.
I was wondering how to get the Adobe Flash Player Plugin?
Thanks.These are the files listed in the folder.
Flash10p.ocx
FlashInstall.log
FlashUtil10p_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10p_AciveX.exe
I originally uninstalled Flash Player 10 ActiveX and the Flash Player Plugin
thinking they would both be reinstalled with the newer version. When I installed
the newer version of Flash Player 10 ActiveX I noticed the Plugin was missing
and wondered what happened to it. I didn't know it needed to be downloaded
seperatly and I also didn't know what it was for exactly. As it is right now
everything works and since I'm not using any other browser - downloading
the Plugin isn't required. At least now I have an idea what the Plugin it was
intended for and know it's not needed.
Thank You. -

Hi-
I hope i provided all requested system info, if not, please LMK. Out of the blue, my computer stated that I did not Adobe Flash installed when trying to watch a TV show on Hulu. Never had the problem before. So, I installed the "required" download Adobe ActiveX 10. Rebooted after installing. IE immediatly began crashing on every site that Flash was required. I uninstalled/installed at least 10 times...same problem. I looked at different discussions and the first thing I see going wrong for me is that I don't have a Macromed folder under my System.
Currently, I have uninstalled the program just so I can send this thread; otherwise it would be constantly giving me error messages.
Help?
(I'm no techy)
Thanks!Hi, You are missing a Flash file and the fact that you don't find that SWO in the addons means that for some reason FP wasn't Installed correctly.
On the edit feature, once someone replies to your message, it is voided. I'll see what I can do, but it may not be removed for a couple of days. Also, I need to mention that when you receive an email notification that someone has replied to your thread, don't use your email to respond. Page down in the message & use "visit the message page". This will take you directly to the message.
Replying via your email will post your email address on this public forum:-) In addition any links that are given to you to use, don't use the links from the email notification. Come directly to the Forum thread and use them from there.
In my next message I'll give you Uninstall/Install directions that you can use.

Error message while installing Flash ActiveX
I've recently installed Macromedia Flash MX 2004 with the
idea of using as a tool for designing webpages. Everything was fine
until I was asked to download Flash ActiveX 9.0 (which I already
had) and I couldn't. I tried uninstalling Flash MX 2004 and then
installing the ActiveX, but it was useless. Then I looked for help
at Adobe site and I got the same results: nothing. I'm thinking
that it can be some problem with the registry, because after
installing Flash MX 2004 I was warned about a registry change by
Scott Patrol (security program). However, I've posted a logfile of
my registry on other forums and I was told it was clean.
The problem is definitely not related with downloading the
files, but with the installation process, as I've downloaded the
files, and when trying to instal, the process stops at
"Registering: C:\WINDOWS\Macromed\Flash\Flash9f.ocx".
If someone can help me, I would be grateful.

Adobe flash player and labview
Hi
How can I make labview interact with adobe flash player and read variables?
Adobe flash player is displayed by internet explorer and I'm using Adobe Flash player 10, with labview 8.2I have not checked this out as I leave the Googling to you. But I will not be suprised if adobe do not have an activex player you can use for free.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

Flash ActiveX, FScommand
Hello All
I would appreciate a little guidance on a issue I'm having.
I am using A'ware 7.02 and Flash 8.
I am building a wrapper program that launches a flash-based
assessment that is designed to work with a Scorm-compliant LMS.
There has been a breakdown in rolling out the LMS, so I've had to
simulate an LMS within the wrapper, so that it can run on a network
drive until the servers are ready.
The assessment communicates with a flash-based utitlity that
directs most of the communication between Aware and the Assessment.
The only way I have been able to successfully have all three
pieces communicate with each other is to launch the two flash
pieces using the Shockwave for Flash Active X control. The problem
is there are 5 assessments and growing, each in a unique location.
I have had to have a unique sprite for each assessment because I
can't figure out how to do a relative path in the control.
I don't like not being able to add assessments without going
back into the Aware peice. Any suggestions?
I have not seen any documentation on best practices when
having three different programs communicate this way.Few questions...
1. When you refer to 'two flash pieces' in your fifth
paragraph, are these
the utility and the assessment itself?
2. IMO you'll have to learn the inner workings of the utility
in order to
have it launch each new assessment on the fly. It should be
possible to do
this, however.
3. Relative paths should not be a problem in the ActiveX
itself...rather,
you'll be using the ActiveX to control the logic of the
utility.
4. Finally a general question...if this tool/simulation
you're building is
a short-term solution until the servers are set up, is it
really worth
building? Why not just wait until the servers are ready?
OTOH, it might be
a great thing for you, as you'll be learning a lot about
Flash-AW
communication.
Additional comments....
SCORM based assessments that I've worked with send out a data
package when
the 'submit' button is pressed by the assessment-taker and
this follows a
stardard format of 9 specified fields. If you like send me
the relevant
files (including the FLA of the utility if you can get it)
and I'll try to
sort it all out for you.
Also, as you say there is little documentation on having
three programs
communicate. There is, however, a nice little piece of
documentation on the
Flash ActiveX control API, which I'll send you if you contact
me.

Flash ActiveX's CallFunction method always fails (E_FAIL)
Hi,
I likely have collected all information in the web, but still
facing the problem.
I am trying to
host the Flash ActiveX in a C# program and establish
two-way communication between the host application and the
ActionScript contained in my SWF file.
On the ActionScript side, I use the
ExternalInterface class.
On the ActiveX side, for callbacks, I use the
IShockwaveFlash::
FlashCall event, which
works perfectly in all host applications I have experimented
with. For direct calls, I use IShockwaveFlash::
CallFunction() method, which
doesn't work on some host applications (unfortunately those
I need). It
fails with COM error (HRESULT E_FAIL, "Unspecified error").
Here is what I have done so far:
1)
Installed the latest Flash Player 9, registered Flash9c.ocx
ActiveX.
2) Granted Flash
security permission to the folder where my SWF is located by
prescribing it in
"C:\Documents and Settings\myname\Application
Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust\myapp.cfg"
Before I did this, the FlashCall event caused a SecurityError
reported from the Flash player. So it makes me think that my
problem is
not a security issue any more.
3) Tested the SWF file
hosted in a browser (both IE and Firefox). The two-way
communication with JavaScript
works perfectly in both ways, so it means there's no mistake
in my ActionScript code, and the way I call ExternalInterface
methods is correct.
4) From JavaScript, I tried the following two ways of calling
the ActionScript function (called "Handshake") in the SWF movie
object:
// JavaScript code
// call directly
swfMovieObject.Handshake( "hello world" );
// call via CallFunction
swfMovieObject.CallFunction( "<invoke name="Handshake"
returntype="xml"><arguments><string>hello
world</string></arguments></invoke>" );
the both methods also worked perfectly, which means
the <invoke> xml string I am passing is correct.
5) When hosted in
VB6 and on MS Access 2003 Form, the CallFunction method
works perfectly.
6) Finally, the
CallFunction method fails to work when hosted in
Word 2003 document,
Excel 2003 worksheet,
VBA form in Word 2003 or Excel 2003, and also
in a C# program written in Visual Studio 2005.
I've seen others reporting this problem, but seen no
resolution so far. It may be that this problem occurs only on
some machines? For example, the sample .NET program here
http://www.codeproject.com/cs/media/flashexternalapi.asp?df=100&forumid=226349&exp=0&selec t=1518421
doesn't work on my machine, although it should have worked on the
author's machine.
Please help!Just figured this one out. I'm using VC++ 6 with ActiveX Flash 10. The code snippets here will call the Flash function testFunction from VC++ using the CallFunction command and the appropriate XML. In VC++, make the following call assuming that m_flashGUI is the CShockwaveFlash object added to your dialog.
CString ret = m_flashGUI.CallFunction("<invoke name=\"testFunction\" returntype=\"xml\">"
"<arguments><string>something</string></arguments></invoke>");
The key item in the xml string is the "name" parameter. It must match the name in the addCallback function in the Flash movie.
In the flash movie, have something like the following. The addCallback call is important. Without it the CallFunction from C++ will throw an exception.
// Import the flash items
import flash.events.*;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
// Associate the flash function with the external call
flash.external.ExternalInterface.addCallback("testFunction", testFunction);
function testFunction(str:String):Boolean
// Do something here...
return (true);
Good luck!
Mike
