Flash ActiveX in C++ app - how to communicate?

Hello everybody!
I think that most of the people here on this forum will not be familiar with C++, but familiarity with Flash ActiveX controls is actually more than enough to help me!
Here is my situation. I'm doing some desktop application (C++), and I want to use some fancy graphics for GUI, and I think flash would be the good idea. Possible solutions include using GDI (too primitive), OpenGL (too complex for my task), Silverlight (not well supported yet) and Flash - which I will probably choose. And I need your help with some questions.
I'm using Visual C++ (MFC), so I just placed the Flash ActiveX control on the form, then loaded the SWF with put_Movie()/Play(), and now trying to communicate:
A) To communicate from flash to C++, e.g. to report when the button inside SWF is clicked. I think FSCommand is the solution here. Please tell me if any other methods exist.
B) To communicate from C++ to SWF - some mechanism to fire events in C++ and catch those events in flash (ActionScript). This is the part where I don't have any answers and need your advice.
Any kind of help would be much appreciated!

Still no reply.
I am waiting for any clue.
please help, I need it urgently.

How to open the numeric keyboard in a mobile Flash Builder 4.5 app

I would like to open the numeric keyboard in a mobile Flash Builder 4.5 app when click on a text field instead of the full keyboard. Is this possible?

It looks like this is implemented in Flashbuilder 4.6 through the softKeyboardType command:
<s:TextInput softKeyboardType="number" />
Here's a link to good article on it:http://devgirl.org/2011/11/29/flex-mobile-development-flex-4-6-cool-new-soft-keyboard-feat ures-sample-w-source/

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.

Making ActiveX Server with App Builder

OK I am writing a program in C++. I want the GUI to be in Labview and I need the C++ program and Labview GUI to communicate. So I used the app builder to create an ActiveX Server. So how do I use this? Do I use the GUI.tlb instead of the normal labview.tlb? Do I still create an application reference to Labview or do I create an application reference to GUI.exe since this is my executeable now? I can't find much documentation on this at all... Please help!

Switch over to using the GUI components that you mention. Think of it
this way, your C++ program could need to use both LabVIEW and GUI. For
that to work, most of the connection pieces have to be specific about
what they are dealing with.

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?

I still get plug in failure even after uninstall and reinstalled adobe flash to my mac os x 10.7.5 (4 bit) with flash 16.0.0.235 how do I get this fixed??? HELP

I still get plug in failure even after uninstall and reinstalled adobe flash to my mac os x 10.7.5 (4 bit) with flash 16.0.0.235 how do I get this fixed??? HELP

That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

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.

Flash activex version problem

dear all
my problem is as follows, please bear with me:
i have a vb6 application which uses flash activex control to show swf files on my forms.
when using flash10d.ocx (which was the latest at the time i first used it) everything worked fine and all flash files did their thing...
since new versions of the ocx file have been released my app doesnt work properly anymore (some of the flash files appear distorted/dont refresh/resize properly, some doesnt appear at all.)
i know that i can uninstall any version and re-install my flash10d.ocx. and if do, everything works fine again.
but that cannot be a solution, cause my end users might (rightfully) want to be updated with the latest flash they can have. and i dont even have direct contact with any of them...
any side-by-side installation i tried ended-up with vb using the latest version intalled, ignoring the older one
any comment and direction will be greatly appreciated, i've been crawling the web for some time now...finding absolutely zilch
thanx a lot in advance
E.

Hi Olga,
Please try this
Resolution
Set Flash Player Security Settings to allow the local drive to be trusted. Also see the Xcelsius 2008 Installer Release Note on Adobe Flash Player Security.
This will also occur if you snapshot or export to a local format such as PPT, HTML or Word and try to run the SWF file.
To enable trust:
1.)    Go to http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html
2.)    Select "Always Allow"
3.)    In the "Always trust files in these locations:" drop down, select "Add location""
4.)    Browse for the location in which your SWF file is located or add C:\
Hope this helps.
Regards
Nikhil

How Bridge communicates with third party applications?

Hi,
Is it possible to communicate between Adobe Bridge and a third party application using Bridge SDK?
I want to learn how Bridge can communicate with other application? Bridge SDK have samples that explain how Bridge communicates with other Adobe applications like Photoshop and Indesign. Can anyone guide me or provide me a sample where Bridge communicates with a third party application?
Thanks.

As an example, this shows one way of getting a list of selected files from Bridge via Photoshop using C#
using System;
using System.Collections;
using ps = Photoshop;
namespace getBridgeFiles
    class Program
        static void Main(string[] args)
            ps.ApplicationClass app = new ps.ApplicationClass();
            String Code = "var fileList;"+
"if ( BridgeTalk.isRunning( 'bridge' ) ) {"+
"var bt = new BridgeTalk();"+
"bt.target = 'bridge';"+
"bt.body = 'var theFiles = photoshop.getBridgeFileListForAutomateCommand();theFiles.toSource();';"+
"bt.onResult = function( inBT ) { fileList = eval( inBT.body ); }"+
"bt.onError = function( inBT ) { fileList = new Array(); }"+
"bt.send(8);"+
"bt.pump();"+
"var timeOutAt = ( new Date() ).getTime() + 5000;"+
"var currentTime = ( new Date() ).getTime();"+
"while ( ( currentTime < timeOutAt ) && ( undefined == fileList ) ) {"+
"bt.pump();"+
"$.sleep( 100 );"+
"currentTime = ( new Date() ).getTime();"+
"}}"+
"if ( undefined == fileList ) {"+
"fileList = new Array();}"+
"fileList = decodeURI(fileList.toString());";
            String RC = app.DoJavaScript(Code, null, null);
            ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
            list.AddRange(RC.Split(new char[] { ',' }));
            for (int index = 0; index < list.Count; index++){
                Console.WriteLine(list[index]);
            Console.ReadLine();

Macromedia Shockwave Flash ActiveX

How I can to capture frame from flash file to png without
background and with considering semitransparency?

Hola samsara 1970:
Pues al parecer o tienes desactivado el control active x del
sockwave Flash
Player o bien tienes activado el bloqueo de ventanas
emergentes o pop us,
pero entonces te saldría también la linea amarilla
superior que te dice que
"internet explorer ha bloqueado en aras de su seguridad....",
por lo que
supongo que será solamente la primera de las opciones.
Para solucionarla vete en Internet Explorer a
Herramientas/Administrar
Complementos y asegúrate de que en el desplegable te
dice: "Mostrar todos
los complementos actualmente instalados en Microsoft Internet
Explorer",
tras lo cual te mostrará la lista de plugins del
navegador de internet.
En ésa lista eliges el Shockwave Flash Object y, debajo,
en configuración,
activas la casilla habilitar.
That's all.

My Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with Windows 7 / 64bit

I have downloaded the newest version of Adobe flash, and it installs like normal...and I think it is working fine....but on some sites (even You Tube) and some software programs, I get this message:
Your version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with this version of Windows.
I am tired of wasting so much time with this...I read on the net that some people compiled their computer to 86...whatever that means....but no one explained how to do it.
I have a Flash professional in ADOBE MASTER COLLECTION C6 / but all programs and sites default to the normal Flash player (that constantly gets updated,

I have a similar problem, Win 7 64-bit, I did a clean install*, downloaded latests (Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player), and after restarting my computer, Win7 64-bit Action Center popped up: "Your version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with this version of Windows" with no error codes to look up knowledge base. Like seriously, no one from Adobe answered this in 9 months?! And the steps in Common problems | Flash Player sound like I need to purchase support before I file a report?
Currently, my Firefox plugins only show Shockwave Flash 13 not Adobe Flash. Do I need to install Flash plugin for Firefox? (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe)
Thanks!
* as per How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?:
1. Add or Remove programs ... Flash ... uninstall,
2. deleted all files & folders in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash, C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash, %appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player, %appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player),
3. verified that the files “FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl”, "FlashPlayerApp.exe", and "FlashPlayerInstaller.exe" in C:\Windows\system32\ (for 32-bit systems) or C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ (64-bit system) were deleted,
4. prepared to use Unlocker http://www.emptyloop.com/unlocker/ if any files couldn't be deleted,

So im trying to buy logic pro and just recently put enough money in gift cards on my account but every time i click buy app and go to billing info and then click ok it just shoots me to the first screen and did not charge for app how can i buy it ?

This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?
