Get Flash's bgcolor param

Does anybody know how to read the value of the bgcolor param
that is being passed into a SWF so that ActionScript knows what the
current background color is set to?
In other words.... you pass a param name="bgcolor" in the
HTML code when calling the flash object... but how do you read it
into your action script?

For this case I have no control over what is launching the
flash file... all I have control over is the .SWF and want to know
what the bgcolor is set to when the SWF is being called from within
ActionScript. I'm working within a lot of constraints... but having
this value would help me out a lot. I figure it must be stored in
some read only property... it just seems like it isn't documented
anywhere, and I can't find anything in Google.

How can I get flash video to work on ipad2 ?

I have ipad2 on order - then realised does not support flash. All our training videos are flash !!! Do I cancel order or can I get flash to run on ipad2

Flash is not supported on the iPad. There are some apps that take a flash video on a web page, send it to a server which converts it to a format suitable for the iPad, but these are somewhat iffy.

Can someone help me find a workaround to get flash to work in XP Pro 64 bit, like there is a workaround for vista 64 bit?

Can someone help me find a workaround to get flash to work in XP Pro 64 bit, like there is a workaround for vista 64 bit?
I am trying to get rid of all my 32 bit apps because the more of them you run in 64 bit the less resources are available.
Firefox has a 64 bit browser they call the Shiretoko build. I love it, it's twice as fast as a heavily tweaked 32 bit firefox. Java has a 64 bit plugin that works with it.
The last holdout is Adobe.
Microsoft is making Vista and Win 7 64 bit as easy and smooth as the 32 bit versions as a means to get people to start using them.
Linux has a way to make flash work with 64 bit.
Remember when we all had a 16 bit operating system and how much better things got with 32 bit?
Adobe, it's time!.. don't you see that?
Can someone help me solve my problem? Please?

Hard disk in mums macbook failed, bought a new one, formatted it first. Have tried starting it with every possible key and I either get flashing question mark folder or a cursor.

Hard disk in mums macbook failed, bought a new one, used sata adapter cable to format it for mac first. Connected it and have tried starting it with every possible key combination and I either get flashing question mark folder or a cursor. A disk is stuck in it so I can't boot from OSX, and yes I have tried every option of starting to try and eject disk but none work. HELP ME!

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.
If you have a 2010 MBP or later, then you can use Internet Recovery. Start by rebooting the computer. At the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION-R keys until a Globe appears in the upper part of the screen. This process can take upwards of 15 minutes to get connected to the Apple network servers. You should eventually see the utility screen of the Recovery HD. You may now go about the process to install Mountain Lion:
Install Lion/Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

How do I get Flash to recognize my TextInput from class?

Hi -
I'm trying to write a class for a standard input form. I've
got a movieclip in the library and have linked it to this class.
(class included below.)
This movieclip contains several text inputs which I have
declared in my class file. I can get their ._x and ._y values, but
I can't assign to the .text value of the TextInput. Nor can I read
this value when I set it in the parameters tab in flash. It just
comes up as undefined.
It's as though flash does not recognize the instance that was
placed on the stage in the authoring environement as a TextInput. I
can trace out the instance, but Flash does not treat it as a
TextInput because I can not assign a string to the .text property.
If I instantiate the TextInput in my class file and then
position it on the stage - I can assign to it. But this is not as
practical because I can not lay things out visually in Flash. How
do I get Flash to recognize my TextInput instance on the stage from
a class file?
Thanks in advance!
import mx.controls.TextInput;
import mini.slide.*;
class mini.slide.InfoCollect extends Slide{
var first:TextInput;
var testInput:TextInput;
var last:TextInput;
var email:TextInput;
var address:TextInput;
var city:TextInput;
var zip:TextInput;
var phone:TextInput;
function InfoCollect(){
trace("InfoCollect created");
this.first = new TextInput();
this.first.text = "testing";
trace("this.first = " + this.first.text);
}

Since you are putting the assignment and trace statements in
the Constructor function, it is possible that the textInput boxes
have not all yet loaded. So, when you are trying to assign values
to them, they are not present on the stage.
Put your code in an onLoad function. That way you can insure
that all components have loaded before you assign values to them.
The onLoad function will be called when the "onLoad" event is
triggered after all of your movieclip has loaded.
function onLoad() {
---your code here---
}

[SOLVED] can't get flash to work

First i tried copying the flashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins dir, but it didnt exists yet, so i did a searh and i found. This http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … bit_System tried installing nspluginwrapper but it didnt work after restarting firefox. Tried manually installing the flashplater.so files again, since there was a dir there. Tried pacman -S flashplugin after i found that to be the most up to date way. None of this has worked, any ideas? I installed the 10.0.42.34 version. I never restarted anything other than firefox either. Thanx for any help.

Yes, sorry about the editing, i just spent 10 minutes looking for the edit buttons and then the submit buttons, my new style made them invisible:P . I had a thought though. Before i installed gnome i had installed firefox, could i have installed a second copy while installing gnome or done something else to cause me difficulty? I like firefox but i guess i'll try getting flash to work in some other browsers and see how that goes. Also, firefox isnt detecting any plugins in its add-ons section, perhaps thats a clue?

You need to upgrade to Snow Leopard, but don't need to go past 10.6.8 to run the current version of Flash.

i have Mac OS X 10.4.11 with 600 mhz PowerPC G3 how do i get Flash Player 10.3.183.20 (65.7 MB) power pc processor?

Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

How to get flash audio to play when published to godaddy

I'm trying to move all my iWeb websites to Godaddy, but can't get flash audio to work playing my mp3 on the site. With iDisk it's easy, just install the flash player in there, but how do I get it to my godaddy server and write the iDisk address into the widget code. How do I do it when using godaddy as the new host?

Download the folder of assets for your flash player from iDisk. Get there from the Finder Go menu - iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites.
Drag the folder onto your desktop and then upload it to the server using an FTP app like the freeware Cyberduck or your hosting service's file manager.
Enter the new URLs to the files in snippet code.

Should I get Flash?

I know a small amount of C++ and a lot of GUI stuff in Java,
but I don't yet know how to make graphics in either of them (much
less a 2D/3D game). I was wondering if Flash might be the right
choice for me if I am a beginning game designer and just want to do
it for fun?
I was browsing around today and all I could find was a
program priced at $699, and that seems like way too much... is that
how much "flash" costs, or should I be looking at some other
product? The link to what I was looking at is here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/?promoid=BPDEE
Is there anything cheaper that will enable me to easily
create 2D and 3D graphic games?

If you're just doing this for yourself and you're a student,
you can find Flash for cheaper than that. Otherwise, welcome to the
world of design :)
I'd hesitate to tell you to get Flash. Yes, you can script
game behavior with ActionScript, import or create graphics, and
simulate 3D effects and do a great job of it (after some practice).
However, if you're thinking that a piece of software and some time
is all that separates you from the next World of Warcraft
sensation, you're kidding yourself. It takes teams of creative
genuises lots of time and thousands of dollars worth of equipment
and software to pull off an impressive game.
But if creating an online personalized chess game or a game
similar to what you'd find on Yahoo! (
http://games.yahoo.com/) is
what you're going for, then Flash may be what you need (or just do
it with Java).
I don't know what kind of games you're imagining, so I'm just
going to give you some general alternatives.
Find a game you love and look into its mod forum. It's not
uncommon for games to come with level editors and have fan support
online. Check to see if you already own such a game and get to it!
I used to play Unreal Tournament (a first person shooter, if you're
not familiar with it) back in the day and had loads of fun trying
to recreate my house or school with it's free UnrealEd program. The
program included the pre-scripted objects, enemies, and textures
found in the game. Few things in life are more fun than shooting
your friends in school... in a game, of course.
Also, there are plenty of books on this subject. Go to your
local bookstore. I know the Barnes and Noble down the road from me
has a section for video game design next to the web design and
digital photography sections. Those books would be able to give
better advice.
My friend Jeff Woods (
http://icanbenchpressmorethanyou.com/)
uses Zbrush when he creates his games. He's a heck of an
illustrator and video game instructor in Chicago.
Which brings me to your local community college. See if they
have a game design program. Then you can use THEIR
software/hardware.
As for me, I love Flash. I can't get enough of it. I've been
using it since Flash 4 and I love how it seems that there's always
more to learn. It's well worth the money for me. But I don't use it
for games and find its 3D abilities to be somewhat lacking. Out of
the box Flash cannot create true 3D objects.
Lastly, realize that most good game development software is
going to be in the hundreds, if not thousands (especially for 3D),
of dollars.
I hope that helped and didn't discourage. Flash and my stint
with game design has been very rewarding! Good luck!

The MacBook Pro 2,2 is a 15" Core 2 Duo from Octomer 2006-June 2007
It only has a mere 1.5 Gbps SATA 1 connection which won't realize the performance of the SSD which is better suited to a SATA 3 connection at 6Gbps. So basically you put a Ferrari engine into a Yugo.
My advice is to return the SSD and get a 7,200 RPM hard drive, is backwards compatible with your older SATA 1 connections and also provide more storage space and speed you require for that machine which has a maximum RAM limit of 3GB (4GB has to be installed, 2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM modules in two slots, see OtherWorld Computing or Crucial.com for Mac verified memory)
What occurs with that model is there is a lot of memory swapping to the drive due to the 32 bit processor and it's 3GB RAM limit, so your thinking a SSD would speed things up is correct, however your SATA 1 connection is the bottleneck.
So your resigned to using a 7,200 RPM hard drive which will give the same performance as the SSD in your case due to the slower SATA 1, it's the best you can do.
Also, older OS X operating systems 10.6 and earlier have trouble installing on with SSD's a it's a new storage device, there is supposedly some more hoops to go through to enable TRIM etc. as the installer doesn't know what it's looking at when it see's a SSD, but it does with a hard drive.
For that machine, even though OS X 10.8 can be eventually installed on it, it's not advised due to it's vintage age and slower CPU and graphics capability. 10.7 and 10.8 are bloated for newer mor powerful machines, thus it's only going to be a wasted effort and costly for a machine about to die shortly.
For the best OS on that machine (with current security updates) would be OS X Snow Leopard, which you can get the $20 or so OS X 10.6. white retail disk still from Apple online store.

Why is my computer slow?
IMMO a 7,200 hard drive and 10.6 updated to 10.6.8 is the best, most cost effective solution as something else is going to croak on the machine in the new few years.
10.8 will let you run iCloud etc., however the machine will be so slow and you will have to buy all new versions of software for a machine that's only going to expire shortly.
Run 10.6.8 on that machine for the next few years until the wheels fall off, Apple has got your back with security updates still until it drops to like below 10% OS X market share.
If you require to run iCloud etc., then buy a new machine for that, don't waste your effort going to 10.8 on the older machine, use it for backup purposes.
