Flash beta 10 and player detection

Since installing Flash Player beta 10 for testing on my PC my
flash isn't working. Could it be that instead of taking the major
version "10" and comparing it to the required version "8", it's
using simply the first letter "1" and comparing it to the required
version "8"?

Hi slavagrov,
Did you run the uninstall_flash_player.exe before installing
the beta?
What version is being detected from this URL:

Also, if you have a URL that we can test with please include
it.

Flash MX 6 and Player 9

Hi Folks,
We have XP machines with the Macromedia Suite loaded which
includes Flash MX 6 which includes Flash Player 6.
We have content that wants to utilize other various versions
of Flash such as 9. We have loaded the distributable version 9
however the content defaults to the version 6 player as associated
within XP.
My question is how do I make my associations use player
version 9 rather than version 6? The package for version 9 is the
ActiveX version and I wonder do I need a full version for 9 to work
in this scenario?

Hi, pivous, and welcome to Apple Discussions. You probably don't have enough RAM to use Flash, and your very high Virtual Memory setting can't compensate for the deficiency. Besides, setting VM as high as you have could make your Mac unstable all by itself. The recommended setting for VM is always 1MB more than the amount of physical RAM in your Mac — in your present situation, 65MB.
I recommend that you review the memory requirements for the version of Flash you're trying to use, add at least 64 MB of RAM to what you have now, and set VM for one MB more than the amount of installed RAM you end up with.

Flash player detection kit question

Hi,
I'm looking into implementing the flash player detection kit onto our website. I found a good resource about this but had a question: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/fp8_detection.html
It looks like the flash player detection kit is focused on flash player 8. Are there any differences as to how to handle this situation for flash player 9 or 10, or will the kit work for all? Please note that I am not a flash developer, but am doing research to advise our IT folks as to how we should go about setting up proper flash detection on our site.
Thanks,
-Jeff

the flash program publishes an html with flash detection added to the html page. it detects the needed player version.
you can also use swfobject for reliable swf embedding and player detection.

Active X and Flash Player Detection

I am using the newe Flash Player Detection generated from
Flash 8 to look for Flash 6 or higher. It all works well when
tested until one user decided to remove the Active X control for
Flash but leave the Flash Player installed. When he came back to
the page he was able to see the Flash content.
1. Why can the Flash Content be viewed if the Active X is not
available?
2. Is the Active X just used in the installation of the Flash
Player?
Thanks.

What does that mean .. how can he remove the flash player
leave it
installed.. it makes no sense.
Unless, of course, he was using a browser other than IE (eg
FireFox) which
uses the Flash Player control add-on (Firefox et al do not
use ActiveX)
> When he came back to the page he was able to see the
Flash content.
> 1. Why can the Flash Content be viewed if the Active X
is not available?
If you use a browser that does not use activex controls, then
the presence
of the activex version of the player makes no difference.
> 2. Is the Active X just used in the installation of the
Flash Player?
no

Flash Player Detection

I am trying to implement flash player detection using the
Flash Player Detection Kit - the actionscript way ie. using
the 'flash_detection.as' and the 'flash_detection.swf', (not
forgetting the 'update_flash.html' file also! )
I put the swf onto my 'index.html' - it being the first page
that is accessed when anyone goes onto our site - and I altered the
.as file to direct users once they had installed FPlayer8 to a page
called trueindex.html ( which was a copy of index.html without the
flash_detection.swf on it )
All that happened when it had installed flash player 8 was to
keep going back to index.html over and over again!
Because of a desire to sort out flash player detection issues
previously, I had already changed the code on index.html to include
the java script stuff to check for version 8 ( you could look at
the source code on the index page )
I'm just a little clueless as what to do now - my main desire
is to let the un-initiated install the flash player ver8 without
having to restart their PC or do a lot of messing about!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The html wrapper code generated by Flex Builder does this
automatically if you have Project, Flex compiler, use Express
Install checked.

I Need Help for the popup message every time I go to safari: "Warning! Old version of Adobe Flash Player detected. Please download new version."???

I Need Help for the popup message every time I go to safari: "Warning! Old version of Adobe Flash Player detected. Please download new version."???

If you are talking about Safari on the iPad, there is no version of Adobe Flash for iOS and there never has been. Clear Safari, close the app and reset the iPad.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If you are talking about Safari on your Mac, you are in the wrong forum. But I would still clear the cache, quit Safari and restart the Mac.

Test player detection IE7 without uninstalling flash

Hello all, I'm trying to test Falsh Player detection code.
Trying to see if there's a way to test IE7 without uninstalling the
Flash player.... I'd like to see what it looks like to users
without the correct version of Flash...
Anyway, want to temporarily turn off Flash in a page so I can
see what it looks like to non-flash player 8 users?
thanks!
btw - using the Flash Detection Kit...

Go to windows32 and look for macromed folder, just rename it,
restart browser
and you won't have the player anymore, test it, rename it
back.

Flash Player Detection Kit License

Hi,
I was wondering what the license was for distributing the
Flash Player Detection Kit? And actually not the whole kit, just
the AC_OETag.js file itself. I can find information on licensing
the player itself, but nothing on the kit code.
Thanks,
Diana

There is no license for it. You can use the .js files as you
see fit.
That said, I am rabidly trying to get all our detection
technotes updated to let people know the following...
Note: As of the October 15, 2008 release of Flash Player 10,
Adobe recommends that developers use SWFObject2 for Flash Player
detection. For more information see the SWFObject page at Google
code (
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/)
or "Detecting Flash Player versions and embedding SWF files with
SWFObject 2" on the Adobe Developer Connection. The following
information effects the Flash Player Detection Kit, which should
continue to work correctly with Flash Player 10.

Kuler Flash player Detection

I have Flash player 10 debugger version installed and the guy
who made the script for player detection, apparently forgot to
detect this as the latest version of the player. :S

I also have flash player 10 but still get asked to install
player 10.

Flash Player Detection Kit - Help With Ad...

HI all,
I want some advice regarding the Flash Player Detection Kit ( http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/download/detection_kit/ ). I would like to embed the detection process in just one file. Hence how can I embed a detection code into the flash file, so once its exported to swf, it'll have the detection code already and no additional files are needed?
Thanks in advanced.

Seems the reasoning is a little off. If the Flash detection is in the Flash .swf.... but the browser has no Flash plugin.. the .swf would never be read by the browser... hence no "Flash detection" scheme would be implemented.
That's why Flash detection has to take place out-side of the .swf, by the browser... exactly like .swfobject does.
Best wishes,
Adninjastrator

Flex Unit 4 Beta 2 and Flash Builder

Hi
I've downloaded Beta 2 and have got the sample ant task working how I want.
I'm having problems running tests in flash builder though.
When I right click and go to execute FlexUnit tests the generated mxml file tries to use the following runner:
xmlns:flexunit="flexunit.flexui.*">
<flexunit:FlexUnitTestRunnerUI id="testRunner"/>
which it can't find.
No additional swcs were added to the compiler path in the propject properties. Perhaps I just have to add som eprevious version swcs to my lib folder?

Hi,
Unfortunately this doesn't have anything to do with the FlexUnit code itself. These are bugs inside of the Flash Builder plugin. You may want to post on their forum as well to try to get some support.
The only advice I can offer, is that things seem to work much better if I consistently use the Execute FlexUnit Tests, which can be found under the run button. They work much less well if I right click and tell it to execute tests.

Flash Player Detection Kit

社内でFlash Player のバージョン取得の為、Flash Player Detection Kitをダウンロードし使用しようか検討しておりますが、使用方法がよく解りません。マニュアルは英語で・・・。
ただ、バージョンを表示するだけで良いと考えておりますが、Ver7x以下はバージョンが表示されないようです。イントラ上ではなく、こちらのサイトにアクセスしてバージョン表示させるしか方法がないのでしょうか。

こちらに日本語の解説があります↓
http://www.adobe.com/jp/devnet/flashplayer/articles/detectionkit.html
ちなみにFlash Playerのバージョンを取得するだけでしたら、「getVersion関数」でいけると思います。Flash Player 5以上対応とのことです。

Flash builder 4 (beta 2) dropdown attributes different?? and differences between beta 1 and 2

hey guys, i had everything working before just fine, but in this beta 2, my drop down lists are not working... i realised that previously the attribute requiresSelection in the dropdownlist tag of beta 1, is now "requireSelection" and it is giving me an error on selectionChanged...
i was wondering if there is somehitng i could use other than selectionChanged??
and also, does anyone know where i can find all the differences from Beta 1, and Beta2??

Actually, the requiresSelection was renamed to requireSelection:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark">

            import spark.events.IndexChangeEvent;
            protected function ddl_changeHandler(evt:IndexChangeEvent):void {
                Alert.show("oldIndex:" + evt.oldIndex + ", newIndex:" + evt.newIndex, evt.type);
            protected function ddl_changingHandler(evt:IndexChangeEvent):void {
                Alert.show("oldIndex:" + evt.oldIndex + ", newIndex:" + evt.newIndex, evt.type);
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:DropDownList id="ddl"
                    requireSelection="true"

Tutorial: Flash Builder 4 beta 2 and PHP Data/Services for beginners

Hi fellas,
I've written this tutorial for total beginners to get quickly to FB4 and PHP. Comments welcome
Flash Builder 4 and PHP Data/Services for beginners
http://www.flashrealtime.com/flash-builder-4-and-php-data-services/

Hi,
The first issue will be the pathing differences between wamp/mamp/xampp, some use www as root others htdoc you need to setup the php services on your local machine rather than importing a project.
The created services will have a connection array declared at the top of the code that points to the mysql server, in the project default debug folder you will have the config file that has the zend and webserver path
top of service file
============
var $username = "root";
var $password = "";
var $server = "localhost";
var $port = "3306";
var $databasename = "zend";
var $tablename = "clients";
var $connection;
amfconfig.ini
=========
[zend]
;set the absolute location path of webroot directory, example:
;Windows: C:\apache\www
;MAC/UNIX: /user/apache/www
webroot =C:/wamp/www
;set the absolute location path of zend installation directory, example:
;Windows: C:\apache\PHPFrameworks\ZendFramework\library
;MAC/UNIX: /user/apache/PHPFrameworks/ZendFramework/library
;zend_path =
[zendamf]
amf.production = false
amf.directories[]=Zender-debug/services
In your main project folder you have a .model folder the file there is an *.fml file that contains your channel endpoints etc.
David.
