Flash application help

hi,
i'm making a flash application installer... at the user end
the exe file will be installed.
i want to call the support files i.e; xml, sound,
pictures..etc from cd
how do i define a path since the path will change on every
machine?

Don't specify the full path, just the name of directory (if
any) and
filename
so
loadmovie("mydir\movie.swf",1);
Regards

  • Help w/speed of Flash application - Use load vars, flash remoting or other....

    I'm looking for a little help with a dynamic Flash
    application I am building with ColdFusion integrated. I need the
    Flash to load and interact with a SQL Server database as quickly as
    possible as the user interacts with the Flash application. I have
    done research and thought that Flash Remoting was the way to go
    especially when using ColdFusion with Flash, but I am experiencing
    a lot of lag time when a user tries to load more data.
    So I'm looking for some advice on what is the fastest/best
    way to pass data back and forth between Flash and ColdFusion.
    Currently I am using Flash Remoting via ColdFusion web services
    (first time using this), but again with the lag time I am receiving
    I am thinking maybe my old way of using LoadVars would be faster? I
    am also open to any other means to pass data from ColdFusion/SQL
    database to Flash that exist. I am just looking for the quickest
    way for my customers to interact with the Flash piece.
    Thanks for all your help!

    Also would like to note that internet explorer does not have this problem, I would prefer to figure out why this is happening and resolve it as I hate IE.

  • Issue with MozillaFirefox browser and Flash application

    Hi all,
                 I am new to Flash and ActionScript 3.0.
                 I have created a new flash application and executed it(.swf file has obtained). But, now I need to display the contents of .swf file(i.e., output of my application) in a browser window.
                 So, the issue is: When I open flash application in InternetExplorer browser window,  then the application/.swf file opens fine. But, it is not working well when  open it in MozillaFirefox browser window.
       Please, can anyone help me in this context.
    Thanks in advance. Reply me as soon as possible.......

    Hi Cyboide,
                   Actually, I am new to Flash platform. I have developed a flash file and (.fla and .swf files are created) this .swf file I need to use within our project(based on Java) which is to be run in localhost. So, I had followed these steps as I saw in Google Help:
    1.) I had opened .fla file(First.fla) and goto File -> PublishSettings -> Formats tab.
    2.) In this tab, I had selected .html and .swf checkboxes and deselected remaining all.
    3.) Click on "Publish" button and then "OK" button.
    So, a html file with same name as that of .fla/.swf file is created in the same folder beside thes .fla and .swf files.
    I think it is clear upto this point.
                     Now,
                                If I open my .swf file simply in a browser window(Mozilla), I can view the contents. But, the Buttons, checkboxes, Combo-boxes etc., controls have no access(i.e., any animation, tweening works well but  there is  no user interaction).
                               Else, When I open my project in localhost(Java project), here somewhere i call my flash file(i.e.,First.swf file). But, the contents of .swf file are not viewed in the case of Mozilla Firefox. But, it works well in InternetExplorer browser including my whole project(i.e., all localhost). Hence, no problems when opened in IE.
    Please reply me as soon as possible. It is the only issue to end up my project.
    Waiting for replies.....
    thanks a lot in advance..

  • Windows 8, problems to show cameras in a flash application

    I have a flash application that shows at screen the cameras that the operating system detects, and works fine on windows 7 but now, in windows 8, i have troubles with several cameras. For example firewire cámeras or screen capture driver.
    I made a simple test application:
    http://mainstream.atnova.com/test/testCamaras.html
    The same code executed like an air application seems to work, and the same webpage, running in windows 7, shows all the cameras right.
    Is there any bug on flash player for windows 8?
    Thanks.

  • Re:. Flash applications freeze periodically with sound but no video on all browsers.

    I've been having problems with flash applications on browsers for the past year or two. What happens is that when a flash video starts, my browser will lag periodically. The sound will be present, but the video will freeze, and I will not be able to switch tabs, click on buttons etc. This was most noticable on YouTube at first, but it's also occuring with other sites, and it's very annoying when a site has flash ads and it causes my entire browsing experience to slow to a crawl. This isn't just a firefox problem, I've tried IE and google chrome as well, and I have also tried different Internet connections. I've tried various suggestions to fix it, such as turning off hardware acceleration, uninstalling then reinstalling flash and shockwave, reinstalling my video codecs, but they all have no effect. Can anyone help me with this problem, its driving me nuts! My browsers are all updated to the latest version, my flash player is version 11.7.700.169, and I am using Windows 7 pro (6.1, build 7601).

    Do you notice any difference if you disable hardware acceleration?
    How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?
    What happens if you temporarily revert back to Flash Player 10.3?
    How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?

  • Font size is too small in flash applications and the "zoom" feature does not make any difference. Thanks

    Zoom dosen't work in flash applications and it is crazy small and too hard to read...this does beat out the fact you can't right click using flash in google chrome...I prefer firefox, but will go back to IE if it is the only program without such major bugs
    I have also reset the minimum text size in flash and that did not help the problem at all.

  • Output Signal From a Desktop Flash application to the COM port

    How do I script to connect /send a signal to the COM port of
    the PC from a Desktop Flash application.
    The Signals can be variables such as "1/2/3/4" . The signals
    will be send on a corresponding click in the flash application. For
    eg: if I click button "A" in the Flash application, it sends a
    signal "1" to the COM Port. If I click the Button"B", it send the
    signal"2" to the COM Port.
    Please advise if it can be done directly or through a Third
    Party software.

    Hi,
    Use the below code to load and play an audio:
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
    import flash.media.Sound;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    var s:Sound = new Sound();
    s.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoadProgress);
    s.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadComplete);
    s.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
    /* testAudio.mp3 is located at the same path where the .swf file is placed */

    function onLoadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {

  • Since 5.1, cursor vanishes with Flash Applications

    Hello Community,
    I am using OS 10.6.8, Safari 5.1
    When using a Flash Application (Gliffy, Fishville), the cursor disappears (only to reappear when you click out of safari and then mouse back in).
    Earlier versions of Safari do not show this problem.
    Suggestions to reinstall Flash and to use the non-debugger version of Flash were not successful.
    Suggestions to delete the plist were not successful either.
    Is this related to: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Flash_Player ?
    Thanks,

    Do you have ClickToFlash installed?
    Look here  >  ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Also, try uninstalling then reinstalling the Flash plugin.

    If that doesn't help try deleting Flash cookies.
