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 advance

    I 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?

  • 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,
    Rico

    Nobody 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, 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.

  • 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 8.2

    I 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
    (Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

  • 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
