Flash and cookies

My site can be located at
SITE">http://lowcostflashtemplates.com/catalog/[/F
I need my flash file to play only once so that when a user clicks
on new pages it does not repeat. I know that I must use cookies but
Im not clear on how to code it.
I have a sound file that is set to event, I dont know if that
will effect anything or not.
Also is there a way to set a time limit so that a user will
not see the file repeat unless its been a day since they visited
the site?
Thanks in advance!!

You can use a SharedObject, as suggested, or use a standard
cookie. For that
however, you'll need some PHP, or other server-side language.
Just Google
'php cookie' for loads of info. It's pretty simple really,
and there's lots
of good examples. Here's one to get you going:

    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?

    You need to either delete unnecessary files or move them to an external hard drive.
    The updates indicate I wouldn't need nearly that amount of memory why the discrepancy?
    Post a screen shot of the updates your are trying to install.  I don't know what would be causing the discrepancy.

    Every time you open page, flash reload from scratch. That's
    how it works.
    You can use frames and keep the menu in frame, which would be
    easiest solution.
    Or you could use Shared Object, something like flash's form
    of cookies.
    Make a record every time you press button, read that record
    every time you
    open the page and based on result do something with the menu
    to indicate
    that this is the clicked location, tho take note, it still
    will be loading
    the file from zero, every single time you open new html page.

  • How do you remove plug-ins and cookies

    How can I remove plug-ins and cookies from my computer?

    The exact method of deleting cookies depends on which browser you are using.  But it will be in your preferences.
    Examples:
    Safari: Preferences --> Security
    Firefox: Preferences --> Privacy
    Plugin-ins is not a clear term.  Do you mean extensions or add-ons to your browser?  If so that depends on which browser you use to maintain plug-ins or add ons.
    Examples:
    Safari: Preferences --> Extensions
    Firefox: Add Ons menu
    Do you mean internet plugins like the Adobe Flash plugin?  Those can be found in two possible places:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins  (in your home directory)
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins

  • My MacBook was acting weird so I restarted it and when I login a white screen flashes and goes back to the login page. Help?

    My MacBook was acting weird like sometimes I would log on and I wouldn't be able to type my password for a couple seconds,but it usually logged in after that. Then I left my computer open after installing the recent update after that all my applications were not responding. So I shut it down, when I turned it back on about an hour later it went to this loading screen and then to the login like usual. After I tried logging in a white screen flashed and it went back to the login/ password screen like nothing happened. Any ideas on what happened and what I can do to fix it?

    Reinstall OS X;
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Safari 5.1, OS 10.6.8 and cookie controls

    Ok, I know there are numerous threads here in the Mac Safari forum regarding the issue of Safari 5.1 and cookie control. I just thought I would start my own thread instead of continuing on something else.
    I am using Safari 5.1 and 10.6.8. I waited for a bit to update to 5.1 (did it this week), giving it since its debut on July 20th. I too am experiencing the lack of cookie controls. The three settings that exists do not seem to do what they say except that they always allow cookies.  To update from Safari 505, I downloaded the installer from Apple downloads instead of using SU function. 
    Has anyone read something that Apple knows of this issue? 
    Since installing Safari 5.1, I have done the last security update as well.
    I remember reading that reinstalling the 1.1 version of the 10.6.8 combo would replace Safari 5.1 with 505. But, has anyone tried that? Will Safari 5.1 show up in software update as well as the last security update? I am wondering if I reapply that combo if it will undo the last security fix as well (since I am assuming software update will still see the receipt for the previous ones and not call for them to be redone).
    If all cookies are coming through, isn't this a serious bug?  I have been resetting safari often to wipe them out, but they reoccur switftly.  I have to MBP's and am seeing the same behaviour on both.

    I'd use that terminal command - takes seconds (and a restart) + no download. But otherwise yes - the 10.6.8 v1.1 then the update & anything else software update picks up (not safari, obviously )
    Some people happily get a copy of just the safari 5.0.5 application & use that, since apparently it works, although I'm not sure what cookie function you'll get (easy enough to see). You'd use Pacifist to extract it from the 5.0.5 installer package, or grab it from a backup.
    Although you'd hope software update would catch the security change - I'm not sure if the combo would overwrite the new or not... on the one hand, it's newer, but on the other, it sure over-wrote safari 5.1 when i checked it... so better to be sure, I haven't checked since that update.
    If you look at the files in /System/Library/Keychains/ afterwards - if EVRoots.plist, SystemRootCertificates.keychain, and SystemTrustSettings.plist are all dated 23 April 2011, the combo rolled them back - if they're later... it didn't.
    Apple do know, since bug reports come back as 'duplicate of...' - but  there's no public info to my knowledge.
    How much of a security issue is this? Should I worry about it, or just leave it until they update to fix?
    more privacy than real security, I'd say - although there are add-ons to manage cookies.

  • Adobe 'fixes' for Flash and Dreamweaver

    According to what I've been reading, Adobe added fixes to
    Dreamweaver 8.02 to deal with the Active Content problem created by
    Microsoft when Flash animations are embedded in web pages. Since I
    have an earlier version of Dreamweaver and Flash and am having
    problems like everyone else with that issue, would some 8.02 user
    kindly inform me if this is indeed the case, and what does one do
    in the new version to ensure Flash active content runs as intended?
    Is it something that one must still manually add to the code in an
    .html file, is the correction added automatically, is there an icon
    to press....just how is the new feature/fix used and incorporated?
    I'd like to know before considering an update. Thank
    you..............frank

    http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/downloads_updaters.html#dw8
    Basically after you update if you add a flash file you get
    this code added to the html file:
    <script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
    type="text/javascript"></script>
    and that folder (Scripts) and (fileAC_RunActiveContent.js)
    are automatically created with your project. When you import a swf
    file the code that is automatically generated is also updated with
    a snippet of code to fix the AC issue:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','
    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','wid th','404','height','368','src','~movies','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.macrom edia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','~movies'
    ); //end AC code
    </script><noscript>
    You dont really have to do anything other then remember to
    upload the scripts folder to your server when you publish.

  • Flash and Fireworks combination

    Macromedia MX: I am working on an image in Fireworks and
    would like to incorporate a flash movie into this image so that I
    can put it into Dreamweaver for my website. A quick example of the
    image is a square inside a square (kinda like a TV set). Is there a
    way to layer the Flash movie into the Fireworks image so that the
    Flash movie plays inside the inner square but is not visible on the
    outer square? (since it would overlap somewhat) Would I import the
    image from Fireworks to Flash and work on it there, or import the
    Fireworks image into Dreamweaver and insert the Flash movie there?
    I am not sure how to go about this task. Thanks for any
    suggestions.

    P-C-Surgeonz;
    You can't "layer"a flash swf into an image, but you can
    "insert" the
    image and flash into your html separately using
    dreamweaver--but IMO
    importing the png fireworks png into flash, and just
    embedding the flash is
    easier. -Tom Unger

  • Bios Flashing and Recovery

    BIOS FLASHING
    We do not recommend using the MSI LiveUpdate tool to update your BIOS! It may be okay for updating your drivers, but please do not use it to flash the BIOS in Windows!
    Windows-based flashing - If you REALLY insist on flashing the BIOS under Windows, if you encounter any error during flashing, whatever you do, DON'T restart your PC! Try again until the flash is successful, otherwise your board will not start! Disable any anti-virus program (along with any other programs) prior to flashing.
    Boards with built-in M-Flash function - While M-Flash work's properly most of the time, it has still proved to be less reliable than the forum tool / manual flash.
    Before flashing your BIOS, you must ensure your system is fully stable! Any instabilities can cause a bad flash and create an expensive paper weight. Included with the forum flash tool is MEMTEST, we recommend running this for 2 or more passes prior to a flash.
    If you do not understand what your BIOS is, or what it does, please read: >> BIOS. What it is, and all you need to know <<
    Our first choice we recommend you use is our own USB flashing tool, developed by Svet.
    It is important to note, that the only way to flash the ME extension of the BIOS of modern Intel boards is through the use special processes. The bios versions posted by moderators here: >>BIOSes<< include the additional files to accomplish this. These bios are all official and are directly from MSI.
    >>>MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool<<<
    If you are unable to use the MSI HQ USB BIOS Flashing Tool
    >>How to create a dos bootable USB stick>>
    It is important to note that if any BIOS, EC FIRMWARE or any other type of FIRMWARE downloaded from MSI for a manual flash contains an BAT file it must be used. Not doing so will cause the flash to fail and require RMA.
    For Intel Users, flash via FPT
         Socket LGA 1150           : >>ME 9 FPT files & Instruction>>
    Many of the bios versions posted here: >>BIOSes<< Contain a .bat file. All you need to do is extract all of the contents of the archive into the root directory of a DOS bootable USB stick and run the bat file from pure DOS.
         Socket LGA 1155 & 2011: >>ME 7&8 FPT Files and instruction<<
    Linux users
    See this topic: >>Flash your BIOS, the Linux way! [beware the dangers!!]<<
    Modified and BETA BIOSes
    Use only at your own risk! All BETA BIOS versions posted by the moderators of this forum are directly from MSI and will not effect your warranty.The use of user modified BIOS versions may damage the board and may void your warranty. Exercise extreme caution in regards to user posted BIOS versions. Please also be aware that MSI and this forum can not be held responsible if you trash your mobo by using a modded, beta or otherwise incorrect BIOS.
    WHEN IT ALL GOES WRONG...
    BIOS RECOVERY
    In many cases, provided the 'bootblock' of your BIOS is not corrupted during a bad flash, the BIOS can often be recovered by following the recovery procedures detailed below. NOTE: this recovery method should not be followed for normal practice of updating your BIOS!
    For Modern MSI Systems, refer to:
    <<Multi-Bios Equipped Mainboards>>
    <<Single-Bios Equipped Mainboards>>
    Legacy Systems:
     For Award BIOS
    Make a bootable floppy disk*
    Copy the Award flash utility & BIOS file to the said floppy disk
    Create an autoexec.bat with "Award_Flash_Utility BiosFilename" in the content (e.g. awdfl823K w6378vms.130)
    Sample on how to create an autoexec:
    a. On Windows, open the notepad
    b. On the notepad, write "awdfl823K w6378vms.130" (without the " ")**
    c. Save the file as autoexec.bat
    Boot up system with the said floppy (it will take less than 2 minutes before screen comes out)
    Re-flash the BIOS & reboot.
    *Need a bootable floppy disk? Look here: http://www.bootdisk.com
    **Make sure you enter the correct filenames for your flasher program and BIOS ROM file!
     For AMI BIOS
    Rename the desired AMI BIOS file to AMIBOOT.ROM and save it on a floppy disk. e.g. Rename A569MS23.ROM to AMIBOOT.ROM
    Insert this floppy disk in the floppy drive. Turn On the system and press and hold Ctrl-Home to force update. It will read the AMIBOOT.ROM file and recover the BIOS from the A drive.
    When 4 beeps are heard you may remove the floppy disk and restart the computer.
     For new boards with AMI BIOS core 8 (4MB)
    Discovered by Jack The Newbie:
    Of course, the steps are similar to the standard AMI BIOS Recovery Procedure for internal floppy drives (rename corresponding BIOS File to AMIBOOT.ROM, hit CTRL + HOME after starting the system).
    What has to be done (tested on P45 Platinum):
    1. An optical SATA Drive needs to be connected to one of the Intel ICH10R SATA ports. {After a lot of testing, I found that it does not work with the same optical drive connected to the SATA Ports hosted by the secondary JMicron Controller.  Also, using an optical drive on the JMicron IDE/PATA port does not help either.}
    2. A proper BIOS File has to be renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM and burned on an empty CD.
    3. CMOS-Clear with main A/C power cable removed from PSU has to be performed. {If this step is not done, the system will reboot after pressing CTRL + Home and will not proceed with recovery procedure.}
    4. Press CTRL + Home to trigger BIOS Recovery.  -> The system should enter BIOS Recovery Routine. {Will basically work with both USB & PS/2 keyboard.  However, a PS/2 Keyboard is recommended as the system will respond earlier to PS/2 Keyboard than to USB Devices.}
    What should happen now:
    1. After pressing CTRL + HOME the LED Status should change to "Intializing Hard Disk Controller" and there should be access to the optical drive connected to the Intel ICH10R SATA ports.
    2. It can take up to 30+ seconds until the BIOS File that was renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM is found. {Drive Bay can be opened to try a different CD without turning off or restarting the system.}
    3. When the system finds the BIOS File, LED Status will change to "Testing RTC" and there should be a message on the screen indicating that the Flash Recovery Procedure has started.
    4.  Since the BIOS File is 4MB in size, it will take a while until the BIOS is actually reflashed.
    Its also possible that BIOS recovery on boards with AMIBIOS8 can be done using a FAT-formatted USB stick, containing the renamed BIOS file. Be warned, in some circumstances it may take several moments before recovery procedure actually begins. See Bas' reply below for further information.
    BIOS recovery on Wind netbooks
    See this post here:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=130509.msg982711#msg982711
    BIOS recovery on non-UEFI notebooks
    In order to recovery this type of system you will need an FAT32 formatted USB stick.
    Download the applicable bios from MSI's website and rename this bios.
    It must be re-named to either AMIBOOT.ROM or xxxxIMS.ROM / xxxxAMS.ROM  You may need to try each way to determine which one is necessary.
    Then place the renamed bios onto the root directory of the FAT32 formatted USB stick.
    Now you are ready to cover the Notebook.
    To do this, remove the AC power cord and battery. Once that has been completed, install the USB stick you prepared earlier.
    Now, apply AC power (leaving the battery disconnected) and turn on the notebook. Recovery should begin after 5 minutes.
    IF ALL ELSE FAILS...
    Locate the BIOS chip on your mainboard. If it is soldered directly to the PCB like...
    ...then you have no choice but to return the board to your supplier, or to MSI, for replacement.
    To request an RMA from MSI, open a support ticket at https://register.msi.com/ocss/
    If your BIOS chip is in a socket, like...
    ...then you may be able to source a replacement BIOS chip, either from MSI, or from a website such as www.badflash.com

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • How to Create a trigger code for turning on light bulbs in flash and animate images professional cs6

    hi,
        i designed a very interactive music website in illustrator and photoshop and i am trying to animate the main page design in flash professional and eventually publish it as HTML5. There are couple of questions i need to ask before starting
    1) should i import my design in differnet layers from illustrator into flash professional in order to make it easier to isolate and animate specific parts of the web page?
    2) i want to have a roll over effect that allows certain features in the page to turn on and off when the mouse hovers over them. can you explain how to do that? any tutorial videos i could follow
    3) what format should i use when importing my illustrator design into flash professional
    4) how should i animate the content pop out from the safe box into the main screen in flash professional (i have never used this program before, so i will be going off video tutorials and whatever suggestions/help you would have)
    **The idea is to have a content frame fly out of the safe into the screen (the size will increase rapidly and it will fade into the screen as well while rotating 360 degrees for one revolution). The content is a basic rectangular frame i designed in illustrator. The body of this frame will be transparent allowing me to embed the main page features into it eg music, videos, bio etc. All this will be done in the later process, the main issue is figuring out how to animate the content frame into the screen and also creating a click feature that allows the content to fly back into the safe and then the safe closing in.
    Secondly, the trigger code rollover effect that allows certain features light to turn on when the mouse hovers over it and turn over when its not.****

    I think you'll get most flexibility by turning on the feature that lets you keep your Illustrator layers as Flash layers. You'll also want to check the box that lets you make an Illustrator object into a MovieClip for anything that you want to interact with or address through code.
    Add an event listener for MOUSE_OVER that triggers whatever functions you need to create to turn on the features. This means that your object that you will mouse over will need to be a MC, as well as any other objects that will be addressed (for example, calling play()) will need to be a MC. You'll want to have a matching MOUSE_OUT handler that stops MC's, hides them, or whatever.
    You should probably organize your Illustrator file so that the objects you need to address are on their own layers. This includes nested objects. Name things informatively. Remember, if the first import doesn't give you exactly what you want, you don't have to save the change--you can edit your settings or the Illustrator file and try again.
    Look into motion tweens. I highly recommend the books "How to Cheat at Flash" and "Animation with Scripting." I don't really think the way they tell you to script will advance your career if you want to be a software architect, but if you just want to animate the occasional widget, it's fine.
