Flash and HTML Access Keys/Keyboard Shortcuts

I have a webpage with embedded Flash. I am attempting to use my HTML Access Keys/Keyboard Shortcuts while in the Flash piece, and it will not work until I exit the Flash. Is this normal behavior, or is there something wrong with my code?
Perhaps HTML Access Keys/Keyboard Shortcuts do not operate when the user is in the Flash piece?
Thanks for the help!

Would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums (http://adobe.ly/XnCf1)? This forum is primarily for end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with a wider developer audience.
Thanks,
Chris

Access Keys / Keyboard Shortcuts / Mnemonics

I am trying to use the SetAsFunctionKey method and FunctionKeyPress
event to define keyboard shortcuts for window widgets such as buttons on
a Windows 95 client running Forte 3.0.E.
If I add the ampersand (&) to the caption of a button, the letter
following the ampersand is underlined. Normally, in other development
tools such as Visual Basic, if you do this for a button, then clicking
the ALT key along with that one letter automatically fires the Click
event for the button. There is no other coding necessary. I basically
have two questions:
1. Is there a better way of implementing this in Forte, other than using
the SetAsFunctionKey method?
2. If not, I have the following dilemma. My application consists of a
main window and several nested windows. The nested windows do not have
their own event loops, instead, they have Event Handlers that are
registered in the parent window. Both the parent window and its nested
windows need the keyboard shortcuts and would therefore need to register
for the FunctionKeyPress event. The problem is if I register for the
event in the nested window, the registration of that same event in the
parent window is overridden, effectively disabling my ability to process
the keyboard shortcut for the parent window. I am assuming that since
there is only one event loop in this scenario, it is the only one that
receives the FunctionKeyPress event. Is there any way to make this work
without making the parent window aware of all the keyboard shortcuts of
its nested windows?

You are right Dave, Windows 95 also generates the beep. I just hadn't
noticed it before. If you or anyone else finds a way to suppress this
behavior, please let me know.

I am using forte 3E under NT4.
I also can capture the speed key press, but I cant stop the warning
beep that is generated automatically by windows. Maybe this doesnt
happen under win95, or maybe you have the warning beep turned off in
your control panel.

Which version of Forte are you using? I wrote a quick test program using
3.0.E and contrary to the documentation, I am able to capture the
Alt-key shortcut on my Windows 95 client.

I have also used the SetAsFunctioKey method to implement Alt-Key
shortcuts, but have found that because windows does not recognise my
pretend shortcut, it beeps a warning whenever the Alt-Key combination
is pressed.
Has anyone found a way of stopping this from happening (without
changing the window control panel settings).

i'm not sure what you mean by "HTML Access Keys/Keyboard Shortcuts", but your browser's shortcut keys should continue to work.

Having problems with automator and setting up universal keyboard shortcut

I have set up a service in automator to open quicktime, new audio capture, start capture. I named it "launch quicktime." I then when in to system preferences and went to the keyboard shortcuts section. I have tried in both services, and in application shortcuts to use my "launch quicktime" with the keyboard shortcut control + esc. I test it out in various applications and it doesn't work until I go to the top of said app for example safari and then go to services and select my launch quicktime. From that time on it works great. If I close safari and then relaunch it, it forgets that keyboard shortcut. What gives? I just want to be able to hit 2 keystrokes and have it launch quickime and begin an audio recording. Would greatly appreciate any help out there as to why it doesn't remember my keyboard shortcut.
Cheers,
Jon

BUG: KEYBOARD SHORTCUT KEYS DO NOT ALWAYS ACTIVATE A SERVICE (A WORKFLOW)
When you assign a keyboard shortcut to a Service (such as a Service Workflow created in Automator) using the System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts, if that shortcut key combination includes the Command key, pressing that shortcut will always successfully activate the Service. No problem there.
However, shortcut key combinations that do not include the Command key (for example, the shortcut key combo Ctrl-Shift-D) WILL NOT activate the Service in any newly opened application, until you click on the Services Menu option in that application.
For more info, see THIS THREAD.

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.

When is Firefox metro going to come to 32 bit windows 8? and can improve flash and html 5 performance!

When is Firefox metro going to come to 32 bit windows 8 and can you improve flash and html 5 performance it cant play 1080p videos smoothly I love Firefox but I'm using IE 10 for browsing and video, then Firefox for developing but want to use it for everything!

This article might answer your Windows 8 questions:

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.

Flash CS5: Is there a keyboard shortcut to move to the next keyframe?

I know there are keyboard shortcuts to move to the next and previous frames -- "." and "," but they're not really what I'm referring to. Also, these keys don't necessarily move to the next and previous frames, rather it just seems to move the red playhead instead of the blue highlighted box (which represents the current frame). This is something I'm also confused about with this keyboard shortcut.
I would like to know though, if there is a keyboard shortcut to move to the next keyframe (each frame that begins with a dot). Thanks for your help.

While I am not quite sure what you mean with
"each frame that begins with a dot"
you can use jsfl to program your own macros/shortcuts
In your case start on page 575 of this document

Flash and Html combined elements

I have a question, basically what I have is a flash site, and
one of those sections is a news section, when someone clicks on
that section i want it to open up html webpage within flash and
then be able to scroll up and down the page because i know it all
wont fit. I want to do this because it will be easier to update, i
do not want anything fancy perhaps a picture resized and some text
under it, when you select the picture it will open in a new window
full sized. Does anyone know how to do this?

Here's a good help article that should help to explain the process: Adobe Flash Platform * External API example: Communicating between ActionScript and JavaScript in a web browser

Package Flash and HTML based extensions together

Hi All,
I'm wondering if there is a way we can package a single zxp with two extensions- a flash-based and a HTML-5 based.
Is there a way, we can tell our extension to install (say) extension1 with InDesign version < 9.1 and install extension2 with InDesign version > 9.1 ?
Since our old extension was in flash and the new extension in HTML, we should be able to bundle both the extensions together and let the Extension Manager manage that in version which extension should be installed; else for any updates we need to upload separate extensions everytime. Is it possible?

Hi,
please see HTML Panels Tips: #10 Packaging / ZXP Installers

Using Flash and HTML with Sound

Hi All,
I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to Flash and want to
start using it a bit more but I'm in 2 minds as to which way to
build my site.
I would love to have the functionality still of html and
place the odd bits of Flash in on the site or just create a flash
site but place each page into a seperate html page but there are
issues with the sound. I want ongoing music to be playing but the
tutorials I have looked at seem to lead to a stop start problem
when the visitor clicks from page to page. I want to make it a
search engine friendly as possible which is why one of my options
is to put build seperate html pages for my Flash instead of having
just one.
There may be some coding issues with a couple of pages that
link into databases and I would have to link these pages to pure
html pages for functionality purposes but this would need to be
done either way.
Can anyone advise which way I should go with this and if
there is a solution to the stop, start sound issues with loading
individual pages.
Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated.
Thankyou in advance
Stephen

Flash and html "mainFrame"

I'm almost done with my website and no the important thing is
what I tested isn't working anymore. I have a flash menu (on the
root of the server) in a frame called "topFrame" and html page in
my "mainFrame" (html/projects/startpage/startpage_still.html) I use
the flash menu to load html pages in my "mainFrame" by an XML. The
problem now is when I push a button the htmlpage is opening in the
new window and not in the "mainFrame".. see below for more
details.. I hope this explenation makes any sense. Can anyone help
me with this problem?
Button action onrelease, getURL(link[p], target[p]);.
In my xmlfile (xml/projects.xml) I a have,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>

Flash and Alt+arrow key

1. Go to Youtube
2. Play a video
3. Open in fullscreen with mouse
4. Close fullscreen with mouse
5. open again fullscreen with mouse
6. Close fullscreen again with mouse
7. Press alt+left to go back (nothing happens. the focus seems to stay on the fullscreen flash maybe?)
8. Click outside of the flash and on an ampty space on the web page. Press space.
9. Now alt+left works for some reason.
This problem because also affects my mouse. I have configured my mouse to make a web browser, file explorer or any other application navigate back or forward when i tilt my scrolling wheel left or right. This is a very big comfort for me because I don't have to have my one hand on backspace to navigate, or move my mouse onto the back button. And since Firefox takes away this huge comfort, it is very (very very ...) annoying problem.
There is another weird thing but it is not a big problem.
When a text box is focused in Firefox, every time I tilt my mouse wheel to navigate back or forward, a symbol appears inside the text box, before Firefox goes back or forward.
- back ♦
- forward ♠
I am using a Logitech V450 Laser Cordless mouse.
Software:
Logitech Setpoint Control Center
- control center verison 4.60.122
- driver version 4.60.122
Logitech support: http://www.logitech.com/support_downloads
Still the main problem is with Alt+arrow navigation.
Another unrelated thing that i find a little annoying about Firefox is that when I scroll left or right with my touchpad, then instead of scrolling left or right, Firefox acts like I am repeatedly pressing the left or right key. It would be nice if it would just scroll left or right.
I still like Firefox a lot,
Thanks!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Open and close flash in fullscreen 2x with mouse click

1. Read [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78414 bug 78414]
2. Wait for the developers to fix it.

Lightroom Flash and HTML galleries (at the same time)

I cannot find any reference to such a thing but it would be great if when creating a Lightroom Flash gallery that there was the option of simultaneously creating a HTML gallery too which references the same image folder content (choice of large, medium or small) as I have situations where clients machines or bandwidth prohibits browsing on Flash galleries and where it would be good having the HTML option.
Thanks, Jeremy

Ngarraud,
Try this:
*Multicast Rate / Transmit Power*
Launch Airport Utility.
Select your Time Capsule on the left.
Click "Manual Setup".
Select "Airport" from the toolbar at the top.
Click the "Wireless" tab.
Click the "Wireless Options..." button.
Check the setting for "Multicast Rate".
This setting controls the range at which you allow devices to access your network. Lower is better if you want access throughout the house. But this setting won't improve speed. Tesserax has a nice explanation of this setting in the following quote:
+"The Multicast Rate option sets the threshold throughput level a wireless client must obtain in order to be "accepted" by the base station. The lower this value, theoretically, the greater number of clients that can connect, especially those at greater distances from the base station. At the opposite end, the higher this number, only those wireless clients that can achieve the higher throughput value will be able to connect.+ [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6736587]
Next, verify that your "Transmit Power: is set to 100%.
*Interference Robustness / Use Wide Channels*
Finally, ensure that "Interference Robustness" is checked (For certain network configurations this setting will say "Use Wide Channels. Verify that it is checked nonetheless.)
Help Doc states: +"You may experience network performance problems if a microwave oven or other source of interference is used frequently near your base station or Time Capsule. To help minimize interference, turn on interference robustness."+
Let us know if this was helpful.
Cheers!

How do you get the hot keys / keyboard shortcuts to work?

I have the free trial version of Photoshop. I am new to Photoshop, I am just starting to learn how to use it. I notice that some of the shortcuts/hot keys don't work.
For example, one basic hot key that does not work is the F7-key. The F7-key opens and closes the layers palette.
Another hot key that does not work is the spacebar. My teacher taught me to hold the spacebar down when you want to move the canvas around. When I am in handtool mode I hold the spacebar down, I then apply pressure on my laptops touchpad, I then slide my finger across my laptops touchpad in order to try and move the canvas, but the canvas does not budge.
Some shortcuts work. For example, tapping the F-key multiple times will expand and reduce the size of Photoshop.
Closing my web browser did not resolve the problem. Updating the software did not resolve the problem.
I am eager to learn Photoshop, but it's hard, and probrably a waste of time, to try and learn Photoshop when some of the softwares hot keys don't work. Anyone have a solution they can offer?
Thank you,
Jennifer
