I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.

Hi, thanks for reading!
I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.
I have a problem where I need to use a corporate designed
.swf in a digital signage solution, but have been told by the legal
department that it can not be modified in any way, I also can't
have the source file yada yada. I pulled the .swfs from their
website and I decompiled them to see what I was up against.
The main swf that I need to control is HCIC.swf and the
problem is it starts w/ a preloader, which after loading stops on a
frame that requires user input (button press) on a play button,
before the movie will proceed and play through.
What I have done so far is to create a container swf,
HCIC_container.swf that will act as Target for the HCIC.swf, and
allow me to send actionscript to the file I'm not allowed to
modify.
I managed to get that done with the help of someone on
another forum. It was my hope that the following script would just
start HCIC.swf at a frame past the preloader and play button, and
just play through.
var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container",
getNextHighestDepth());
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(this);
mcLoader.loadClip("MCIC.swf", container);
function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip) {
mc.gotoAndPlay(14);
But unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. Because there
is a media-controller.swf, that is being loaded by HCIC.swf that
has the controls including the play button to start HCIC.swf.
Here's a link to a .zip file with all 3 .swf files, and all 3
.fla files.
http://www.axiscc.com/temp/HCIC.zip
What I need to do is automatically start the HCIC.swf file
bypassing the pre-loader and play button without editing it or the
media-controller.swf in anyway. So all the scripting needs to be
done in HCIC_container.swf.
I know this is confusing, and its difficult to explain, but
if you look at the files it should make sense.
ActionScripting is far from my strong point, so I'm
definitely over my head here.
Thanks for your help.

Got my solution on another forum.

Need help with coding for HTML5 Video with Flash fallback

Hello, need help with my coding in Dreamweaver CS5.5 for HTML5 video with Flash fallback. Not sure if the coding is correct. Do I need anything else Javascipt etc?

The reason you see a blank page is because it's trying to load the file that is pretty humungous and there is no preloader. So, you see a white screen till it complets loading.
Also, the reason why its loading a SWF file and not any of HTML5 type video is because your doctype declaration is XHTML1.0 and not HTML5.
Change the 1st line in your .html file from:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
to:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Then see if your HTML5 video types load with <video> tag.

Help with a scrolling flash panel

Hello, Ive used the excellent tutorial to create a scrolling thumb panel (http://library.creativecow.net/articles/brimelow_lee/scrolling_thumbnail_panel/video-tutor ial.php)
It works brilliantly and I have movie thumbs linking to a flash player. It all works fine, what Im needing help with is to change the scrolling.
At current it scrolls up and down according to where I have set the 'line', I would like it to scroll up and down near the top and the bottom, rather than all the time (effectively creating a dead zone in the middle). I cant figure out how to change the code to get this to behave as required.
Please Help!
Below is the code used:
panel.onRollOver = panelOver;
function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
delete this.onRollOver;
var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);
function scrollPanel() {
if(_ymouseb.yMax || _xmouseb.xMax) {
this.onRollOver = panelOver;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
if(panel._y >= 278) {   //FIRST BUTTON 'Y' POSITION
panel._y = 278;
if(panel._y <= -177) { //CHANGE '229' TO THE 'Y' POSITION OF THE LAST BUTTON IN THE 'PANEL' MOVIE, POSITIONED VISIBLE WITHIN THE BOARDERS.
panel._y = -177;
var ydist = _ymouse - 251; //POSITION ON STAGE OF UP/DOWN SCROLLING 'LINE'
panel._y += -ydist / 150;   //SPEED OF SCROLLING (LOWER = HIGHER)

use:
panel.onRollOver = panelOver;
function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
delete this.onRollOver;
var b = stroke.getBounds(_root);
function scrollPanel() {
if(_ymouseb.yMax || _xmouseb.xMax) {
this.onRollOver = panelOver;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
if(panel._y >= 278) {   //FIRST BUTTON 'Y' POSITION
panel._y = 278;
if(panel._y <= -177) { //CHANGE '229' TO THE 'Y' POSITION OF THE LAST BUTTON IN THE 'PANEL' MOVIE, POSITIONED VISIBLE WITHIN THE BOARDERS.
panel._y = -177;
var ydist = _ymouse - 251; //POSITION ON STAGE OF UP/DOWN SCROLLING 'LINE'
if(_ymouse>lowerY || _ymouse<upperY){
if((_ymouse>lowerY){
ydist=_ymouse-lowerY; // define lowerY
} else {
ydist=_ymouse-upperY; // define upperY
} else {
ydist=0;
panel._y += -ydist / 150;   //SPEED OF SCROLLING (LOWER = HIGHER)

MAC OS 10.6.8 Using Safari 5.1 Needing Help With Updating Adobe Flash

Hello-
Recently Adobe Flash installed an icon in my System Preferences and when I click the icon there are several tabs. One allows updates to check automatically. It says it will install the latest version of Flash without having to remove the previous version, but I have never been told that a newer version is available unless I clcik "check now." although "Check for updates automatically" is checked, I do not know where it tells me a newer version is available. Also, there has been 5 "newer versions" available since this icon was installed in System Prefeences, I have only found out about the newer versions when I clicked "Check Now." If I read that with this new way to install the latest Mac version of Flash does not require me to uninstall the previous version of Flash how do I install the most recent version of Flash? Does it come in an email?
Since it is not telling me that there is a more recent version of Flash unless I click "Check Now" should I still do it the way I used to install the latest version of flash? (The way before this icon was added to System Preferences)?
I would appreciate help with updating Flash to the most recent version. I used to uninstall the older version, restart the browser and download the most recent version and install it. It always worked find but this was before there was an Adobe icon in my system Preferences.

Hello,
The way you used to do this (uninstall, restart the browser, etc.) is still definitely valid and probably the "safest" way to get a new version installed. Uninstalling shouldn't be required, but it definitely doesn't hurt. If you feel comfortable doing it the old way, please feel free to continue using that process.
As for notifications, this is a bit trickier, but in general you should be notified within 30 days (or so) after a new player is released. This usually occurs when the browser loads swf content. Clicking the button will, like you mention, immediately check. Another alternative to finding out when a new player is released is to subscribe to our Flash Player Releases feed.
Is there a way to be automatically notified when a new Flash Runtime release is made?
Thanks,
Chris

Help with creating a flash banner

Hi,
I need some help with a creating/replicating a flash banner I
saw online. I cant find it anymore but I will do my best to
describe it.
The banner had multiple images layered on top of each other
horizontally. Each image covered the image to the left of it. When
you moused over an image the image expanded to full size while the
other remained contracted.
How can I create something with the above description? Are
there any good tutorials for something like this or maybe someone
can provide me with a few tips/tricks for doing this?
I am proficient in PShop and a beginner with Flash so the
design portion is not the hard part, just the programming/setup in
flash is what has me stumped.
Thanks in advance for any assitance.
Regards,
Mike

Update:
The banner on this template has an exact example of what I am
shooting for.

Dynamic slideshow with pictures and Flash Video

I want to make a dynamic slideshow that shall include both
pictures and Flash Video. The user shall only have to put the files
(images/video) into a folder (for example with FTP or an
admin-utility) and then the Flash slideshow should present theese
pictures and video-files randomly. Is this possbile?
I know it is possible with pictures, but can you also include
Flash Video into this scenario?

yes you can, you can load '.SWF' files in or you can use the
vidplayer to play '.FLVs'

Help with removing the Flash DRM module

Hi,
To be able to play DRM content, Flash requires a separate DRM module that is not bundled with the Adobe Flash installer, this is downloaded separatly upon first playback of DRM content. We've successfully implemented this flow. But we now need to be able to test it in a prober way. It seems like this module is not uninstalled when uinstalling Adobe Flash. Can anyone give us instructions on how to remove this module to be able to test this flow?

I also had to do this, but I had different results and wanted to share what I found.
On different operating systems, I found a Flash Player folder containing a NativeCache folder in similar places:
Windows XP/Vista/7: %APPDATA%\Adobe\Flash Player\NativeCache
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player/NativeCache
Linux: ~/.adobe/Flash_Player/NativeCache
I found that inside this directory there was at least one randomly named directory which contained at least one randomly named directory which contained a platform-specific 'adobecp' module. It would seem some of these random directory structures correspond to flash player versions.
Simply removing the "NativeCache" directory was enough to trigger a re-download of the DRM module.
I'm not sure why anyone else found a NativeModule directory or why I didn't find that directory on any of my systems. Also I'm not sure what "Roaming" means, but it is probably related to roaming profiles and ActiveDirectory.
Your mileage may vary.

QuickTime: Screen Recording with audio from Flash video?

I saw a short flash video on a website that I wanted to save. SO I tried using the new QuickTime's Screen Recording feature, but no matter what options I use (Line input or Internal microphone), I get no audio.
Is this because Flash won't allow it, or am I doing something wrong?

just figured this out myself today. you're on right track.
open system pref and go to SOUND - got to OUTPUT tab and choose soundflower (2ch) as your OUTPUT
open safari and open a new window - drag SWF file into that. it should play in the browser window. hit pause on the video.
open quicktime. go to NEW SCREEN RECORDING, and use the arrow to the right to open options. Choose sound INPUT as soundflower (2ch). do not raise the volume in the record window - keep it at lowest possible else you'll get an echo.
you are ready to roll.
so the browser will be outputting sound to soundflower, whilst the quicktime screenrecord gets input from soundflower. works like a charm. sounds great.
good luck.

Could you help with installation of flash player?

I am experiencing problems with installation of flash player on my computer. I have Windows 7 with 2.77 Ghz and 64 bit system. I get a message that says, "Close Internet Explorer." I close it and the download still is unable to go through. It stops at 50%. I have also gone to my tool bar and disabled ActiveX as suggested. What else do I need to do to be able to download the Flash Player?
Thank you.

Help with html code - inserting video into Muse

I am seeking help writing the code to insert a video into Muse. I uploaded video into my Business Catalyst hosting. I need it to autoplay, loop and not show any controls or frames.
When I host video on Vimeo or YouTube, I see markings on the video that is why I am trying to just host in the same place that the files are stored for my website. If there is a way to host on youtube with out any markings showing up on the video I would be open to that too.
I don't want to see any play button or time bar.
Thanks in advance!!

Hello,
Just as an FYI - we also have an HTML5 video tool over at MuseThemes.com that achieves this, but works on mobile devices as well. The link above looks like it uses Flash, which isn't common anymore since the release of HTML5 based video.
Simply drag the widget out onto your canvas, and link up your videos / set options like loop, controls visible, etc. It's quite a flexible widget, and there's a complete training video included so you don't get stuck
Check out the widget here
Just wanted to provide another alternative that could be helpful. Cheers!
