Flash query, integrating.

Hi, I hope this thread is in the right subject area! If not,
thanks for reading.
I've recently completed a Flash survey and I'm interested how
it was developed. What seems to be clever is that you run through
the questionnaire and the SWF clearly seems to be communicating
back to a server and coming back with new material without refresh
to the Html page.
The questionnaire was quiet long and there didn’t seem
to be any substantial variables being passed into the SWF.
I’m amazed all the data was in the SWF at the start of the
survey because it was extremely fast and it had a lot in it. The
Html page throughout the whole survey stayed the same and the
browser was clearly waiting for something from question to question
because it said it was waiting!?! There were no frames and no
layers to the website and I also noticed there wasn't any
JavaScript present on the Html page either which might’ve
been assisting.
I'm not a Flash guru but would love to start/develop
something like this.
How do you think they managed to achieve this in Flash and
what AS commands do I have to look into?
If I was using Coldfusion or .asp how could I achieve this
without page refresh?
Is there a way of calling a CF or asp server side and the SWF
picking the variables up?
Sorry about the questions as they might be a bit vague but
thanks for your help in advance.
Cheers.

PHP and XML is a good start.. when connecting to mySQL i use
php then convert the data to XML in the PHP file, then parse out
the XML file in flash.

Flash player integrated in Mac Os

Hello,
is the flash player integrated in mac os directly from adobe?
Or does apple implmented their own flash player.
I am wondering whether i have to update the flash player manually from adobes homepage or does apple distribute their own update.
Jerry

No, you update it from Adobe. As all Adobe applications seem to have a few security issues, Apple's security updates generally includes a correction to these, but the latest FlashPlayer update from Adobe was a security update!
Hope that makes it all clear!
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
Note that Adobe requires you to uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, as mentioned here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=1
using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2009-001. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)

HR Create Standalone Query Integrator - LOV as parameter type?

Hi
Our customer wants to download data from a view with filters on various fields. We accomplished this using a download integrator and created restrictions via Standalone Query with various where clause parameters to the view(using HR Create Standalone Query Integrator). While this addressed customer's requirement they are seeing lot of users entering wrong data for the parameter value and causing bad SQLs hitting the database. Customer wants to make sure they dont let end users enter the wrong values in the run time parameter and requesting to make the parameter prompt value to be a LOV type where they are forced to choose one of the valid value.
Example:
Integrator Name - AP_INVOICE
SQL Where Clause – where invoice_type=$PARAM$.invoice_type
1st Parameter Name – invoice_type
1st Parameter Type – Varchar2
1st Parameter Prompt– Invoice Type Equals
Customer wants this Invoice type parameter values to be shown in a drop down list so that end user is forced to pick the valid value and download the data. How to accomplish this? Appreciate your guidance.
Thank you.

Flash query string and html

Hi,
The problem page is located at
http://gauravchandra.info/gpi/mediaCentre.html
I am using flash query string to pass a value into a variable
so that the flash file loads at a particular frame.
If you see the object and embed element, I have written
"Body_image.swf?section=flame" in the movie source. This makes my
flash movie play from a frame labeled - flame. But it is working
only in internet explorer and that too only on local machine. When
I upload it on server, it starts from the first frame everytime. In
internet explorer, it works only on local and it does not even work
on local in firefox.
What am I doing wrong? Please help as it is urgent.
Gaurav

Would this be better suited for the Flash forum?

Flash Player integrated with Windows 8 has stopped working...can't seem to upgrade to newer version Flash Player ?

One day watched videos with no problem. Next day, can't watch videos! Site says I need Flash 10.0 or higher. When I try to check what version I have, it says that Flash player is integrated with Windows 8, no need to install Flash Player. I am thinking that there are newer versions of Flash Player than what is integrated with Windows 8, but it's like I'm going around in circles, can't seem to upgrade to a newer version.

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Flash Builder and Flash IDE integration

hi,
one of the main reasons for me to get the new release of the flex builder would
be the possibility to use the IDE as coding environment for my flash projects.
as the editor of f4 is still a mess, i am very curious if adobe now implemented
the workflow into this release.
is anyone aware of that?
can i now (seamless, hehe) code my projects in FB4 while developing assets
and applications in flash4?
(still using Flashdevelop as an alternative, but honestly the workflow is crap
if you´re working under mac)...
thx for your answers
tux

Hello,
While I did see a demo of FB4, I came up with a thought about the IDE integration and that would be to take ALL the IDE's and integrate them, give me the ability to swap at top via drop down box or menu bar which IDE I want to work in.
Simply create the consistent frame work and load the additional DLLs etc for each program you own/pruchase.
I want and IDE for Flash that is the same IDE as CF. Now obviously some things will not be the same, but hey it would be closer and to me much more efficient then have three or 4 different apps open at the same time going back and forth as needed to create whatever I am working on.
If I am in Flash and need to swap to CF to tweek the CFC being used, I simply click the drop down or menu bar inside the IDE and viola there I am. I think this would cut down on a tramendous amount of overhead used by loading so many different IDE's.
An example of this is I use CF8 inside Dreamweaver CS3, I have to make an additional step to get to the help file. If we have an IDE that is the master framework per se and I am using Flash and click help it should open the help for Flash. If I am using CF then it should open the CF help files etc.

Query - Integration Event

I have a scenario where i have to create an opportunity team based on the data that user enters in oppportunity and it has to be done when new record is saved in opportunity object. We cannot use out of box workflow functionality in this scenario so in this case i have opted to use integration event in the workflow. I have planeed to develop a windows service which will timelly read the INtegration Event queue and will fetch the lastEventID using INtegrationservice. PLease let me know if this approach is correct or not. I am also facing another isssue. In one of my test application i am trying to fetch the last event ID using the integrationservice.I am hitting the particular event where my workflow is registered but still i am not able to get the lasteventId. Please let me know if I am missing something

Hi Akesh,
I think your scenario works fine, but in my opinion you missed the idea of the LastEventId. For your new opportunity you get an event (with the oppty key data like id and the fields you track). You will process these events to create your opportunity team (perhaps you have to add a opportunity query- depends on your use case). The LastEventId is a Id you get for every integrationevent query. You can use this id to delete all events which are included in this query, I guess... It is not event related.

Flash Builder Integration

Flash CS5 has the ability to integrate with Flash Builder for editing AS files but I can't find a way to make it work with existing Flash projects. The docs tell how to do it when creating new FLA/AS files but they don't say anything about existing projects. I've changed my ActionScript preferences to always use Flash Builder as my Class Editor but that makes no difference. Whenever I open a .AS file either with File | Open or by double-clicking in the Project panel the file opens within Flash. How can I get it to open AS files in Flash Builder (for a project that was created with an older version of Flash)?
David Salahi
P.S. I've even tried exporting as XFL to see if there's a way to change the settings but there doesn't seem to be anything related in the XML.

I found a workaround: create a new .FLA file in CS5 and use that one instead of the old one. After doing that, when I double-click files in the Project panel they open in Flash Builder.
This workaround is OK for simple FLA files but it's not going to be practical for an FLA of any complexity. So, I'm still wondering if there's a better way?

Flash Freeahand integration Problem

Using Flash 8 & Freehand 11
Whenever I try to copy an object from Freehand into flash,
either with Copy&Paste or with Import, My Flash crashes (closes
without any msg)
Please advise

Probably be better trying the Freehand forum if it is sill
live. This is a
forum for connecting Flash to databases.
Freehand has bugs and probably will succumb to the Adobe
Macromedia merger
if it has not already been killed with its deletion from the
Flash 8 Studio.

Adobe Flash Query and distinction Please...

Ok, so my local newspaper and news/weather station in Tampa (TBO.com) has been providing me some nice weather alerts with maps to my new 3G (previously, just txt alerts to my old LG). They have been working on a new release, which when I was notified that I would have to download a new release, I was taken to a page that requested I had to select my OS since I was detected being on a Mac OS... in doing so, I was given the options of: Intel Based Mac (As is my MacBook Pro) or a Power Mac? I tried both... and informed my OS was not capable of the download...
So I know you are anxious to remind me that the iPhone (1G or 3G) was not able to download Adobe Flash"... and I acknowledge knowing that... but when the Adobe site asked me to select which Mac OS I was running, I became encouraged that possible the 3G iPhone may be the exception since the Sept. '07 MacBook magazine indicated a yr ago that Safari wasn't supported. So not being a tenured Mac user and flipping back and forth from my WIN business Laptop frequently I admit not being as SAFARI savvi as I should be...so my question is, doesn't my MacBook Pro run on SAFARI as does the Power Mac? So what's the difference in SAFARI between the others and our 3g iPhone?? Not as if I am running the intel side of my MCPro... are there "hooks" on the MBPro enabling me to access this new Weather map, that didn't require my downloading Adobe Flash to it? Is this a hardware fix for APPLE or a simple s/w release down the road? Thanks

Flash & Webservices Integration

I have a multiplayer game (4 users) that is developed in
Flash and uses Webservices along with .NET.
The host gives an invite to other three users and then the
invite popup flashes for them. After accepting the invite the game
window should launch for other all the players.
This works fine when we are playing the game in our own
network but when the game is hosted on the test or live
environment, the Flash container window hangs randomly for one or
two players. This problem happens in Internet Explorer. I tried
Fiddler to trace the problem but with Fiddler everything seemed to
work fine.
Please help.

Yes, I also suspect that but I am not able to figure out how
to go about solving this problem. Is there a way I can check this
is communication gap problem and what would be the appropriate
method to catch the requests.

Testing the water on possible Flash Professional and Flash Builder integration

Hey,
I just wanted to throw this out here instead of the bug area to see if I'm off my rocker or I'm on to something.
Basically one of my major pains is that any application design I do, I do it in Flash Pro and I code in FB. Switching back and forth between apps just to press CTRL + ENTER seems like a) a waste of time and b) a waste of system resources.
So what I'm proposing is having FB integrate with FLA files.
When you create your product you have the option to specify a target FLA (or multiple with a build order) so that when you test your project it will actually build your FLAs in order (in the situation that the final SWF requires others) and you're off to the races.
You could also have the currently associated FLA files have a checkbox next to them which could temporally disable them for a build.
If you still need to make design tweaks later on, it's a mater of opening Flash and doing them, but it would be so slick to be able to have FB render the FLA for you in the same app (no more random CTRL+ENTER in FB anymore!)
As far as where it could go. I think it would work the best if it was just a new tab that could be added to the perspective. Would allow drag+drop of FLA files to it, drag+drop ordering and also have the checkboxes to disable any FLAs from the build.
So there we go, does that sound like a decent workflow?
Cheers!

Hi guys,
Have you considered Testing the water on doing your design work in the new Flash Catalyst software http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcatalyst/ for your skins instead of Flash CS4.
You would be able to export directly in the new FXG format and integrate it directly in your FB4 coding.
There is a tremendous productivity potential gain there.
I am planning to abandon eventually completely Flash CS4 for both design and coding and substitute it eventually by simultaneously working in FB4(coding) and Flash Catalyst(design) with input symbols directly linked to photoshop and illustrator related files.
For those of you who would like to wet their toes and initiate a quick dive, Lynda.com has already released, on june 11, an 1h40 min course on this subject. Here are the details.
Length: 1 hour
Online Training Library® exclusive!
Flash Catalyst Beta Preview
with: Mordy Golding
Flash Catalyst is a new Adobe application that is currently in beta and available for downloading atlabs.adobe.com, that allows designers to quickly create interactive Flash content and rich internet applications without having to write a single line of code. In Flash Catalyst Beta Preview, Mordy Golding demonstrates a workflow that emphasizes the intuitive nature of the tool, and shows how to achieve results in a short time. Meant to bridge the gap between designers and developers, Flash Catalyst allows the designer to work with familiar applications, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, while automatically generating the necessary code in the background for the developer. Exercise files accompany the course.
Topics include:
Creating interactive content from Photoshop and Illustrator design compositions
Turning ordinary graphics into functional components like buttons and sliders
Using smooth transitions and animation techniques
Moving content between Flash Catalyst and Flash Builder
Declarative Graphics
Flex 4 will make good use of FXG, the new graphics interchange format used with the CS4 graphics applications. Flex 4 and Flash Player 10 can together render FXG graphical elements. These include:
graphics and text primitives
fills, strokes, gradients, and bitmaps
support for filters, masks, alphas, and blend modes.
FXG graphical elements can be used in Flex 4 in a number of ways. FXG elements can be used within an MXML file or component and can also be saved as an .fxg file format. The CS4 tools will typically export an FXG using the FXG 2008 namespace. Because these files are designed to be shared between graphical applications, you’ll find that they have a stricter format to what’s used in Flex; the Flex compiler will only use the FXG-specific tags. Adobe’s new application, Flash Catalyst, will make it easy to create FXG graphics compatible with Flex 4, which you can then use to complete your application’s user interface and appearance.
New effects have been added to Flex 4 that can also be applied to FXG graphical elements. These new effects will work on both new and old components alike. Standalone effects must now be declared within fx:Declarationstags instead of the body of the application. Once again, Flash Catalyst has additional tools to help make using these effects easier.

FCP and Flash Animation Integration

I'm doing some animation in Flash and I'm exporting it as a quicktime .mov file. Next, I'm importing it into FCP and when I load it into my timeline, the resolution looks terrible. It looks fine when I load it into my viewer, but as soon as I put in the canvas, the resolution goes way down.
Does anyone know certain exporting/importing settings I can use with this method of Flash into FCP? Thanks!
Rob

Put your Canvas zoom to 100%, render the footage and see if it looks any better.

Flash Audio Integration

Hi all;
I currently have a flash file that has audio in it that isn't timeline based and is called to start playing via ActionScript using new sound();
The file plays fine up until it is imported into presenter and published, just cant hear it. I verified the use of _root isnt used and for safety measures uses _lockroot = true;
Thanks for any advice

Macro,
It's not at all surprising that testing the .swf outside of Presenter works just as expected, but fails miserably within Presenter content.
One of the biggest things right away is the use of _root. With the exception of ONE instance where using _root is necessary to work with Presenter controls, the use of it in your code block is completely off-limits in this scenario as it will interfere with other calls for _root.play(); in Presenter.
Additionally, any use of _global and _level are also frowned upon.
What I'd suggest is using _parent and see if that gets you the results you're looking for.
Otherwise, your code looks okay to me at this point.
