Flex Ajax bridge - flash player detection

Does anyone know of a Flex HTML wrapper template which
handles the express install (with history) user experiences in a
manner which is compatible with the lifecycle of the Flex/Ajax
bridge? Assuming JavaScript is enabled, the express install process
creates the embed DOM node for the SWF dynamically; however, the
FABridge scripts assume that the embed node(s) exist within the
DOM; the the initialisation of the FABridge queries the DOM for
‘bridge’ instances (i.e. embed tags with the relevant
flash vars). If the embed node is not present, the
FABridge.instances object is not initialised correctly. This causes
two problems: firstly, attempting to register an initialisation
callback in the FABridge will fail, since the bridge instance is
not known. Secondly, the ExternalInterface call from the Flash
component to signify that it has successfully initialised does not
have an endpoint to communicate with, meaning that the client side
lifecycle cannot be instantiated.
If anyone has come across a useful strategy to approach this
problem, I'd be hugely grateful for any pointers.
Thanks, Greg

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

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!

Not supported: Air + Ajax + (flex-ajax-bridge) + LCDS

I'm building an application Air (Flex + extjs) and offline synchronization with LCDS. For sure I need the flex-ajax-bridge.
But the experiments failed on Air runtime container, when ajax tried to communicate with server end data services.
And I checked the source code of flex bridge file (FDMSBridge.as):
import bridge.FABridge;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
import mx.core.mx_internal;
use namespace object_proxy;
[Frame(extraClass="FakeFlexInit")]
public class FDMSBridge extends FDMSBase
private var gateway:FABridge;
public function FDMSBridge()
super();
if (ExternalInterface.available == false)
return;
ExternalInterface.addCallback("createObject", createObject);
private function createObject(className:String, cArgs:Array):Object
From the source code, we can tell the bridge rely heavily on the flash.external interface; AND look at this link -
http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/air/1/aslr/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html
where it says -
Note: Adobe AIR currently does not support the ExternalInterface class.
which leads to the conclusion that:
Air + Ajax(HTML) + LCDS solution is not supported by AIR currently.
The ExternalInterface class environment:
Browser Operating System Operating System
Internet Explorer 5.0 and later Windows
Netscape 8.0 and later Windows MacOS
Mozilla 1.7.5 and later Windows MacOS
Firefox 1.0 and later Windows MacOS
Safari 1.3 and later MacOS
Can anyone tell me what's the version of AIR built-in browser (squirralfish)? or, will AIR support FDMSBridge soon?
Thanks!

I agree, it would be nice to have gzip encoding support in
AIR's browser component. But, I looked at what my AIR app sends
when it requests a web page, and it's not claiming to the remote
server that it can support gzip. If the server is sending the
content gzipped anyway, it's almost certainly broken. Web servers
aren't supposed to dictate encodings. Clients say what they're
capable of receiving, and servers send the data in that format if
they're capable of sending any of the requested formats.
I see only one exception in the spec.
Section
14.3 says the server is allowed to send what it likes if the
client doesn't say what it wants (true for AIR) and it cannot
support the default, which is to say, sending the raw data as it is
on disk. So, is that the case? Can this server really not send raw
data, to anyone, ever? If so, it's violating the spirit of the web,
to the point that I'd say it's broken, even if the spec does allow
it. And if the server really is capable of sending the raw data,
it's
really broken for insisting on sending it compressed when
the client hasn't told it that it can handle it; this would
actually be against the spec, not just against the spirit of the
spec.
It would seem a more sensible use of your time to fix the
server than to go and learn another technology just to work around
its brokenness.

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

Examples for using the Flex-Ajax-Bridge

All samples that ship with BlazeDS use pure Flex on the
client-side; what I would like to
have are samples that show the Flex-Ajax-Bridge in action;
using BlazeDS/LCDS as the data
exchange engine; and then use this engine's capabilities to
do Ajax stuff on the
client-side; I have found one example where Ajax delivered
data is pumped into Flex using
the Flex-Ajax-Bridge; but not the other way round ...
Another question: Can I use the Flex-Ajax-Bridge shipped with
BlazeDS with the standalone
LCDS and the CF8 integrated LCDS, too ? Or are there
different versions of the
Flex-Ajax-Bridge available ?

- get an instance of weblogic.management.MBeanHome for the WLS server from
JNDI, using weblogic.management.MBeanHome.JNDI_NAME+"."+"yourServerName"
- get MBeanServer from MBeanHome
To register your mbeans...
- invoke registerMBean() on MBeanServer as in javax.management.MBeanServer
- Note that the objectname which is passed to registerMBean() should be an
instance of weblogic.management.WebLogicObjectName
To get values from weblogic mbeans.....
- use various getters in weblogic.management.MBeanHome

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.

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↓

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 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.

Flex-Ajax Bridge general availability

We have an Ajax application; we have new requirements to
display graphs that update dynamically every couple of seconds, we
found Flex and Flex-Ajax Bridge very helpful.
But I believe the Flex-Ajax Bridge has not been completely
tested and it is only in a pre-alpha stage.
What is the roadmap for Flex-Ajax Bridge? When will it be
fully tested/supported?

Hi,
this needs clarification:
FABridge:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=ajaxbridge_1.html
is *client* side library - it allows ActionScript engine communication with JavaScript engine (two-way) to enrich client side epxerience.
The Flex/Struts is client/server integration and yes, there are existing solution I think (note: I'm not web-tier coder), see:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex_struts.html
http://code.google.com/p/fxstruts/
above seems quite dated - but it at least shows possibilities I think.
regards,
Peter

Adobe Flex & AJAX bridge & ExtJS

I have similar problem as the follow post: anyone has solution?
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2568496

Problem solved!!!
The cause was Ext panel moving around Flex <object> when rendering itself during init phase in JavaScript. That caused Flex Ajax Bridge to lose its connectivity with the object. Changed object creation into lazy one (after eveything was moved around) and works ok.

Are there release notes for the new Flex Ajax Bridge?

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.

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
