Flash, PHP, Javascript... and popup's

HI all,
I don't know if this is the wright place, but here's a
problem that at leat all the scripts I've seen doesn't seem to
help.
I have a web page with php. Inside it I load a Flash movie.
Inside it I have several objects that are loaded dynamically, and
at each one I give a certain int value. Lets call it "index".
When I click in one of the objects a javascript function is
called to popup another webpage with another Flash movie. When the
object is clicked, the index is passed to the javascript that
opens, thru the window.open command, a new window.
Since many people have popup blockers, and this kind of
solution is annoying, do you know of any script in any programming
language (preferably in Javascript or PHP), that can get all the
data from the main flash movie and open another php file, with a
effect similar to lightbox, and passing values to this second
window.
Has far as I experimented, this kind of solution, only works
for images. Do you know if it's possible, or have any better
sugestion?
Thanks

IFS may be excessive for what you are after. It really only integrates well with Java, and not PHP unfortunately.
From a licensing perspective iFS requires either a Oracle Database or Oracle Application Server license in order to run legally.
Maybe look towards filesystem storage instead of mysql blob, and just store a pointer to the file in the database.

Do you need to use Actionscript 3 code in Flash player 9 and above?

Can anyone tell me if I need to use Actionscript 3 code instead of Actionscript 2 code in the following situation:
I am running a swf file which is contained in a browser window (all files are contained on a CD and I have a 'trust' file set up to let them play properly). Up until now, I have been using the following Actionscript 2 code to close the browser window (the Actionscript 2 code is on an 'Exit' button within the swf):
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:window.close()");
This Actionscript 2 code has always worked and still works in Flash player 8 and lower. However, it does nothing when played using Flash player 9. Can anyone tell me if Flash player 9 won't recognize Actionscript 2 code? Is it essential to use ONLY Actionscript 3 code if you are using Flash player 9?
I am having the same problem when I try to launch another html page containing a swf (popped up from the swf contained in the main html window). I have the following code on the button to launch the popup html window. It always worked, but suddenly no longer works with Flash player 9. Here is the code I am using:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:launchWin2('webpage2.html');");
I have all the necessary background code to launch 'webpage2.html'. It works everywhere except in Flash player 9. Can anyone tell me if it is essential to use Actionscript 3 code ONLY on these buttons in Flash player 9? I am pretty new to Actionscript 3, so any help with syntax would be appreciated.
Please note that I don't want to use the projector.
Thanks!

You can use both AS2 and AS3 based applications in both Flash 9 and 10.
As for the issues you describe - perhaps Flash General Forum is a better bet:

Image Gallery, problems with Flash player 9 and Opera 9

Hi, I'm developing a slideshow in flash (and php, JavaScript,
XML).
I'm coding in classes and AS2.
I use the ExternalInterface class to communicate between
swf's and html.
The problem is that the Slideshow won't work properly in the
Opera browser,
it seems like it's working fine, but after a few click it
stop responding.
No problems in IE and FF.
I've search and search to find a solution to this problem
with no luck.
I've put up an example of the slideshow here:
http://www.coldminer.com/up/sw.php?thumbs=1
The strange thing is that when I use really simplified
versions of the code
I'm using (with no externalInterface etc) it is working fine:
http://www.coldminer.com/ftest/
Anyone who have experienced similar problems, and can guide
me to a solution.
Opera version: 9.02 (8585)
Flash player version: 9,0,16,0
Thank you!
** Edit ->
I found a solution, I replaced th ExternalInterface with the
"Flash JavaScript Integration Kit",
and all my problems with Opera was solved.

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

If the data is on a remote server (for example, PHP running on a web server, talking to a MySQL server) then you do this in an AIR application the same way you would do it with any Flex application (or ajax application, if you're building your AIR app in HTML/JS).
That's a broad answer, but in fact there are lots of ways to communicate between Flex and PHP. The most common and best in most cases is to use AMFPHP (http://amfphp.org/) or the new ZEND AMF support in the Zend Framework.
This page is a good starting point for learning about Flex and PHP communication:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex_php.html
Also, in Flash Builder 4 they've added a lot of remote-data-connection functionality, including a lot that's designed for PHP. Take a look at the Flash Builder 4 public beta for more on that: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder4/

Using Google GWT to create (Dashcode) widgets for iBook Author I would like to embed interactive widgets in iBooks using iBookAuthor. The widgets in question started life in Java but GWT has allowed them to be converted to javascript and to run on web pa

I would like to embed interactive widgets in iBooks using iBookAuthor. The widgets in question started life in Java but GWT has allowed them to be converted to javascript and to run on web pages (for example, http://softoption.us/content/node/437 scroll to the bottom). In theory, iBookAuthor can bring in most html5, and much javascript. The technique is to wrap the html in a folder, with 2 extra files, a plist and a default png and then change the extension of the folder to ‘.wdgt’. This is the technique for making Dashboard widgets for the Mac, and Apple even have the Dashcode software to do it. So what you really do is to make a Dashboard widget, then iBookAuthor can import it. So far, so good. And some folk have been doing this, for example http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/2/prweb9242432.htm http://www.panophoto.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=10417&p=158330#p158423 However, if you start with GWT and create a single page with one button and a Hello World, compile it, and get the WAR file (I use Eclipse here)… the Safari browser and others will run it properly (even on an iPad). Then if you wrap it, a proper Dashboard widget is created, which runs properly on a Mac. Then if you go to iBookAuthor and put a custom widget in the Text, then drag it in. It is accepted by the text and shown as being there. However, if you use Preview to look at it on an iPad, it is gone (or was never there in the first place). Anyone any ideas on this? [And iBook Author seems to give no warnings.] The widget is at https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46713473/Test6.wdgt.zip I have bells and whistles that I’d like to get into an iBook!
Thanks for any insights.
Martin

I do have a little to add, which might help someone. Indeed, opening a blank page and dragging the widget straight in seems good in difficult cases. But, actually, I was also able to insert successfully from the Toolbar especially to blank pages. So, it may have been something to do with the columns and stuff like that. Anyway back then the insertion would show in iBooks Author but not in the Preview on the iPad. I moved on to actual Google Web Toolkit output javascript. Basically I had three at hand to try: a Hello World with a button which went straight it, one of moderate complexity, (for example with a built in Lisp interpreter), which also went straight in, and finally a more complex one that initially was rejected by iBook Author. Author complained that there was an unsupported media file (of course, Author does not tell you which one it is, that would be too easy). [Remember, this was a proper working Dashboard widget which could be installed on a Mac]. Among other things I had read remarks about .gif files. When looking through the GWT war directory at the actual javascript etc files, I noticed there were two gifs there one called ‘clear.cache.gif ‘ and a second one called ‘0F89659FF3F324AE4116F700257E32BD.cache.gif’. (Now, there is obfuscation so the numbers here may be different from case to case.) The clear.cache.gif did not seem to be anything special. But the other one is an animation. It is three little boxes that twinkle (rather like a waiting spinning cursor). So, I opened that file and saved it to itself (that picks the top frame of the animation and saves only that, leaving you with an unanimated gif). The resulting widget drags and drops into iBooks Author (and seems to work properly at a quick glance). So, if you are having trouble with ‘unsupported media files’ converting animated gifs into unanimated gifs might help in some cases.

Need flash player 8 and java script enabled to play videos on ipad, need help please.

need flash player 8 and java script enabled on my ipad in order to view videos. please help.

iPads do not directly support Flash.
You can look for Flash Browsers in the App store for some options to try. Support is not 100%, but maybe one may work for you. Browsers like Puffin, Skyfire, Photon etc...
IPads do fully support JavaScript. Just make sure its turned on under Settings->Safari->Advanced->JavaScript.
If you require Java, which is completely different to JavaScript, again there are some browsers in the App store that support it. Search for "Java browsers" in the store.

How to edit bitmap which is imported in flash using xml and save the edited bitmap back to xml in flash.

hi all
It would be appreciated if any one let me know how to edit
bitmap which is imported in flash using xml and save the edited
bitmap back to xml in flash.
Is it posible to save the bitmap data in flash?
thanks in advance

Yes you can... but like I said before you need to upload the
data from the changes you make to a server.
In terms of the solution... its unlikely that you'll find one
specifically for your needs. You will have to learn whatever you
don't know how already and maybe adapt some existing examples to
your needs.
To change the visual state of a movie clip... you just do all
the regular things that you want to do to it using flash... scale,
rotation, drawing API , textfields etc in actionscript. If you
don't know how to how to do that stuff, then you need to learn that
first. That's basic actionscript.
You can capture the visual state of a movieclip using the
BitmapData class. That includes a loaded jpeg. You can also
manipulate bimatp data using the same class. You should read up on
that if you don't know how to use it or check out the examples
below for uploading info.
For uploading to the server:
Here's an as2 solution that took 15 secs to find using
google:
http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000645.php
If you're using as3, google search for "jpeg encoder as3" and
look through that info. There are also historical answers in the
forums here related to this type of thing that might help as
well.

Is it possible to create a contact form via Flash cs5.5 and package out app for desktop?

I need to create a desktop app for windows. Im using Flash cs5.5 and I wanted to know of an easy to way to create a simple contact form that would work once installed on a desktop/
Thanks guys for any input!

If you want a contact form you can either use StageWebView or HTMLLoader to show an HTML page in your web server with a contact form.
Or you can create the form with Flash textfields and then send the whole thing with a POST request to a PHP script in the server, for example.

The problem is that Google has an onmousedown attribute added to the links that modify a link if you click or right-click a result link to make the link point to a safe browsing check on the Google server.<br />
You can see that if you hover a link and you will notice that after you have (right) click a link the the URL changes to www.google.com/url?xxxxx.
You can use this bookmarklet to remove the onmousedown attributes.
<pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){var e=document.querySelectorAll('*[id="search"] a[onmousedown]'),E,i;for(i=0;E=e[i];i++){E.removeAttribute('onmousedown')}})()</nowiki></pre>

AS3.0 External Interface: Pass variables to flash using javascript

Hello all,
I am looking for a simple and straightfoward example of how I can pass the value of a variable into flash using javascript.
Specifically, I'd like to use javascript to pass the filename of an external video file that I would like to load into my flash movie.
I'd also like to call a function in the SWF that plays the movie once the filename as been passed to the flash movie.
External Inferface looks like the way to go.
I've found a few decent AS2.0 examples, but converting them to AS3.0 has proven difficult and many of the examples are much too complex for what I am trying to do.
If you have any code samples or tutorials showing the HTML/Javascript and the associated actionscript I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!
Tim

if you create a swf (eiTest.swf) and html:

         if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
             return window[movieName];
         } else {
             return document[movieName];
     function f1(value) {
         thisMovie("eiTest").jsF(value);
</script>
    </head>
         <body onload="f1('yourfilename.ext');">

"a user error"
Well I followed your book! Chapter 6 of the "Oracle Fusion Developer Guide - Working with Bounded Task Flows in ADF Regions". I think this comes back to book writer error. I found almost no mention of BackingBeanScope in this chapter. Don't you think this would be an important note?
"did you know that there is a Java API (on the RichPopup instance) to launch a popup ?"
Yes I posted in my code! If you read the above code you would see it there.
I don't really understand why the scope of the bean has anything to do with af:showPopupBehavior or AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent.
