Flash and browser integration

hi,
i am trying to find out if there is a way to control the
window which holds the flash movie through flash, for instance,
make it scroll up or down, or somehow control the flash movie to
react the windows position... i have seen it somewhere in an advert
where oranges are being squashed when the flash banner is scrolled
up the window... i wish i had the link to give you an example..
anyway, any help will be apreciated.
thanks.

you can use javascript to control the browser window and you
can use the externalinterface class to communicate between flash
and javascript.

Flash and Browser scroll

Hi,
I want a background MC, height [20], width [screen-width],
yposition bottom of the Browser window.
When the visitor scrolls up or down the Browser, this
background clip should always stay on its fixed yposition, at the
bottom of the Browser.
So on Scroll it would permanently update its yposition.
Is this possible?
Thank you for your help.

place your flash in a div and use javascript to detect
scrolling and reposition the div.

Flash and FTP integration

Morning fellow developers,
I'm working on a new site and we were going to dev an ind.
FTP program, but after some more consideration, we came across the
cross-browser and OS compatibility. We want to be able to upload
over 100+ files (if needed) to a server along with desc + keywords.
I see that Flash 8 has the neccessary tools to handle file
uploading, but my question is, can we have it act as a Stand alone
FTP program so that we can utilize the fastest user upload, or will
we be confined to the settings in the server INI settings.. IE
MAX_UPLOAD_TIME, MAX_FILESIZE, etc...
If possible we want to avoid using the HTTP upload as it is
noticeably slower. So if we can use flash to utilize user BW to
upload, then that would be ideal.
Any foresight is of course appreciated it. Just doing some
research right now.
Thanks for taking the time to read.

I believe the security limits of Flash for file upload are
the same as html. A script cannot specify a file on the user's
machine unless the user has selected the file through a form or
Flash FileReference class.

Flash and TAPI integration

is it possible to integrate flash with TAPI if so what would

Flash and C++ Integration

I was wondering if there is any way to use Flash as a menu
front end through integrateing it with a Game Engine.
The Specific engine we are using is Irrlicht (
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/)
which is writen in primarily C++.
Any help would be appreciated.

flash communicates with other server technologies by
importing variables (and sending them). If you can get C++ to
output a file that looks like this....
&Variable1=Value&Variable2=Value2&Variable3....
(etc)
Thats if you're not concerned with direct/constant
communication. If you're interested in that, I'd look into either a
socket server, or a flash communication server. (both of these I
know too little about to be of help).

Cfform (flash) and javascript integration

I've been searching and shooting in the dark for 2 days and
can't get this to work...
I need to have my flash form button execute a javascript,
return the value to the form and then I need the form to submit and
take advantage of cfform's validation.
So far, I get the javascript to change the value of the form
field without submitting the form, but when I add the submit line,
the form submits before the javascript returns the changes.
Here is my sample:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function changeSomething(x,z1,z2)
var z3 = "window.document."+z1+ ".SetVariable";
if (x != "ABCDEFG")
eval(z3+"(z2+'.text', 'INVALID Name')");
</script>
<cfsaveContent variable="prevalidateIt">
getURL("javascript:changeSomethig('"+name.text+"','Step1','name')");
submitForm();
</cfsavecontent>
<cfform method="post" name="Step1" preloader="no"
format="flash" width="960">
<cfformgroup type="panel" label="Step 1" visible="yes"
enabled="yes">
<cfformgroup type="hbox" visible="yes" enabled="yes">
<cfformgroup type="hbox" width="200" visible="yes"
enabled="yes">
<cfinput type="text" name="name" size="12" maxlength="11"
width="12" label="name" validateat="onSubmit" validate="maxlength"
required="yes" />
</cfformgroup>
</cfformgroup>
<cfformgroup type="hbox" visible="yes" enabled="yes">
<cfformgroup type="hbox" visible="yes" enabled="yes">
<cfinput type="button" name="Submit" value="Submit"
onclick="#prevalidateIt#" />
</cfformgroup>
<cfformgroup type="hbox" visible="yes" enabled="yes">
<cfinput name="Reset" type="reset" id="Reset"
value="Reset" />
</cfformgroup>
</cfformgroup>
</cfformgroup>
</cfform>
My javascript is of course way more complicated than this one
and goes through several steps of validation of the form field. It
will ultimately be used on multiple fields in the form.
Has anybody else tried to do something similar.
Thanks!

I ran your code. It appears to work as expected. The only
major change is that I corrected the typo
javascript:changeSomethi
ng.
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeSomething(x,z1,z2)
var z3 = "window.document."+z1+ ".SetVariable";
if (x != "ABCDEFG")
eval(z3+"(z2+'.text', 'INVALID Name')");
</script>
<cfsaveContent variable="prevalidateIt">
getURL("javascript:changeSomething('"+name.text+"','Step1','name')");
submitForm();
</cfsavecontent>
<cfform method="post" action="#cgi.script_name#"
name="Step1" preloader="no" format="flash" width="960">
<cfformgroup type="panel" label="Step 1" visible="yes"
enabled="yes">
<cfformgroup type="hbox" visible="yes" enabled="yes">
<cfformgroup type="hbox" width="200" visible="yes"
enabled="yes">
<cfinput type="text" name="name" size="12" maxlength="11"
width="12" label="name" validateat="onSubmit" validate="maxlength"
required="yes" />
</cfformgroup>
</cfformgroup>
<cfformgroup type="hbox" visible="yes" enabled="yes">
<cfformgroup type="hbox" visible="yes" enabled="yes">
<cfinput type="button" name="Submit" value="Submit"
onclick="#prevalidateIt#" />
</cfformgroup>
<cfformgroup type="hbox" visible="yes" enabled="yes">
<cfinput name="Reset" type="reset" id="Reset"
value="Reset" />
</cfformgroup>
</cfformgroup>
</cfformgroup>
</cfform>

Flex or Flash and SAP integration

Hello All,
     I am in a requirement in which i need to connect to SAP server and fetch data from it and display back in Flex builder. I am a bit familiar with Flash Island intro but not much. So my question is what are the possible way we can fetch data from SAP and display the same in Flex builder like generally we fetch data in XML format and display the same. i know a bit about iframe but have zero knowledge bout how to use.
   So do you know if there is a better format of data we can fetch data and display the same in flex builder or flash island.
   What are the possible format we can fetch data from SAP and process data in flex builder.
Cheers
Mani

1. Flex can read only XML.
Do you mean we need to fetch data from SAP in XML format and we are ready to go with Flex builder or Flash Island. does it mean there is no any other format in which we can fetch data from SAP and process same in Flex builder.
3. Create Web service of the same ejb and deploy the same on WEB Application Server.
I dont know how to proceed with this way do you mean to write some code in EJV to fetch data from SAP using BAPIs or RFC and where to save data.
it will be very helpfull if you can provide some practical example.
thanks a lot
Mani

Flash and SCORM

Dear Sirs,
I have a general query about SCORM and FLASH. If anyone can
help me here then I would really appreciate it. An upcoming project
at our organisation is a proposed full suite of e-learning modules,
developed in Flash and then integrated into an LMS.
At present, this project is at the discussion phase as a
couple of our developers have proposed this in the past. But what
exactly do we mean by having a SCORM complaint e-learning module on
a Learning management system?
Does this mean that we would have a series of Flash movies
embedded in HTML files that contain interactive quizzes built with
actionscript and that when used by someone online, communicate the
results of these quizzes to the LMS on the server so that we can
see how many people have done the quizzes or does this just mean
that the LMS would just track how many people have actually gone
through the e-learning modules just to have a look?
What are the full implications/advantages of using flash
SCORM compliant movies on an LMS? Do the flash movies have to be
developed, exported in a particular way.
I am assuming that this LMS consists of a software
application on a server that can be managed by an administrator
online?
I am sorry for all these questions but at our company we had
a series of meeting about a proposed e-learning system and I
remembered that we had a couple of flash developers who used to
work for use a while back and one of them mentioned using flash
with SCORM but like I said the discussions about this matter are at
the embryonic stage.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Keith

I'm sorry that I do not have an answer to your issue, but I
am interested on how you have created the wrapper. I am trying to
figure out how to load my captivate movies onto my SCORM 1.2
compliant LMS and I am a bit stumped. Can you share what you did?
Thanks, Fbudd

Advice on integrating Flash and HTML

I have googled and researched this topic on the web.
Integrating Flash and HTML seems like a popular topic but much of
the information is dated (using FS commands or solutions based on
2000-2004 coding and/or hacks) I am using Flash CS3 and Dreamweaver
CS3. I can use Actionscript 2 or Actionscript 3. Here is my goal
I want to use a Flash navigation in the top third of my page
and have it control and load new HTML pages in the bottom two
thirds of the page. Some of these html pages use SPRY code but most
are simple HTML pages. I prefer Flash over CSS because I have more
control and predictability. What I have found so far is three
different solutions.
1.HTML Framesets. This seems like a really good idea but I
thought using framesets was a fading technique and should be
avoided. Is this true?
2. Using the ExternalInterface class to communicate between
Javascript and Actionscript. This also seemed like a good idea but
it is not clear to me how to implement. Do I combine this with
innerHTML or some type of AJAX technique.
3. Keep everything in Flash and load different swfs into main
Flash page. I like this idea the best and it would work for most
pages but I still like html pages when there is alot of text or I
want to use SPRY techniques.
When I have posted elsewhere I get references to articles
telling me why Flash is bad or framesets are bad or innerHTML is
not standard HTML. The only thing I am sure about is that most
people are pretty passionate about defending their own way of doing
things. I am hoping someone can provide some solid information
about what is possible and how to implement a solution.

It works when you put it online... :)1

Adobe story online isn't loading. I just get the loading bar going on for hours. I've restarted my browser, deleted my cookies, installed the newer version of Flash and still no loading.

Nope still nothing going incognito, or doing it through different browsers. I guess the other thing is a an online picture editing program told me I needed to update my flash, so I tried to install it several time but am not sure if it actually did. Now some video players (that had previously worked) command me that I need a newer version of Flash. What happened?

What is the minimum browser requirements for Captivate 5? (Specifically Flash and Java)

I create a Captivate from and upload it to our LMS. When employees access the course it takes a long time for it to load. My IT department is asking what is the minimum browser requirements for Captivate 5? Specifically Flash and Java. This is occuring on PC's and a Citrix environment.

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching Adobe Community. Please accept my apologies for the same.
There is nothing in specific. When you say it takes a long time, do you mean on the LMS or locally as well?
Try updaing the Flash Player.
You can download the Falsh Player Versions from the below link:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Which browser you are using?
Also what objects you have in your project?
Does it have widgets or heavier graphics?
Also are you using any particular preloader? Have you tried using the default.swf preloader?
Thanks!

N800 Internet Tablet and Adobe Flash 9 Browser Plu...

The n800 is supposed to have Adobe Flash 9 browser plug-in, but that does not show up on the list of appliations that the device shows are installed. Also, if you go to the Adobe site, it says that the Opera browser does not support Adobe Flash 9. So, if the Opera browser does not support Adobe Flash 9 how can the n800 have it. The reason I want adobe flash 9 is because when I try to play a video on cnn.com, I get a message saying that adobe flash 9 is needed. Can anyone shed any light on this.

On the N800 type about: into your web browser.. this should show microb not opera..
then visit http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html
this should show you a Flash panel, proving Flash 9 exists

I continually get a Java error. I've uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and nothing has helped. I've updated flash and Java.

I have used Firefox as my default browser for many years. I've recently started getting a Java error message. It pops up continually. I have updated flash and java. I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox and nothing has helped. I have had to start using Chrome instead of Firefox which I don't care for but I don't have the java error with Chrome. How do I fix this problem? The error reads as follows:
Java Script Application
Error: syntax error

Your '''JavaScript''' error has nothing to do with the Java plugin . It is likely caused by an added extension (the earlier forum threads [/questions/944619] and [/questions/943088] mention disabling or updating the Social Fixer extension will resolve the problem).
You can read this article for help troubleshooting your extensions: [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]

How to copy a playlist from iTunes to a USB (keeping artist song name etc) and the files to listen and browse in a jeep hard drive

I made a music playlist on my iTunes, perfectly ordered. I get a car with a USB input to get the songs in the car hard drive, My question is: How can I copy the playlist (with artist, song etc) with the music file (but with the name and artist instead of the file name) in the usb so I can copy it and browse it in my car?
Thanks

This would require renaming the files on the computer.
iTunes is not going to do this magically when copying files to the flash drive, iTunes does not even copy/sync files to a flash drive.

Did Adobe Acrobat/reader stop providing browser integrated PDF viewing(addin) for Internet Explorer?

Did Adobe acrobat and reader stop providing browser integrated PDF viewing capability for Internet Explorer?
Hi, I have been trying to view PDF's directly on my browser (Internet Explorer 9). We used to be able to have this available. To be honest last configuration that did work was Internet Explorer 8 with Adobe Acrobat 7. But I recently tried with Intenet Explorer 9 with Adobe Acrobat X and did not work as expected (I tried to activate the add in for Adobe but the adobe addin for PDF did not show up) I have the following questions:
1) Do you still provide PDF's viewing capabilties on Internet Explorer?
2) If yes: Is there a propper Add-in we (users) are able to install for Internet Explorer?
3) if yes: Do we require to have Adobe Acrobat to have this capability? (this was my experience with IE8 and Adobe Acrobat 7)
Additional Info:
There seems to be an addin for Chrome wich works as expected (opens PDF in browser) to this current date. This does not happen on IE.
Thanks in advance.
AlbertCastle

Are you using the 64-bit edition of Internet Explorer?
The Adobe Reader/Acrobat plugin is 32-bit, and will not work on a 64-bit browser.
