How to control Flash Player 10 with Javascript?

Are there any turotials or examples of controlling Flash Player 10 from a web page with javascript? I want the player to pop up when I mouseover a thumbnail image and play a short relevant flv file. When the mouse moves away from the thumbnail the player should disappear. I imagine I'm going to have something like
<img src="thumbnail.jpg" onmouseover="javascript: [call flv player with .flv name and parameters to autoplay with no controls )">
but I don't know what the javascript code should be and I don't know how to embed the flv player in my HTML so the javascript code can call it.
Thanks for any help.
Steve

it would be nice if someone can suggest a solution.because i ve the same problem.

How to control Flash Player playback using JavaScript?

I have a local file-based web page (HTML file) containing an embedded YouTube video.
Now I want to write some JavaScript to control the Player's playback parameters, like volume, mute, play, stop etc., using JavaScript in the file. However, I don't seem to be able to access any of these function.
Can someone please enlighten me on what I need to do to be able to control Flash Player from JavaScript?

I'm not acquainted with Flash too much, I'm afraid... Both paged didn't give any example I could leverage.
I'm searching for something equivalent to something like this:
document.getElementById("MyMoviePlayer").mute();

How to use flash player with local files?

Have thumb drive with multiple *.flv and *.SWF files. Installed Flash player V11 today. If an FLV file is selected, nothing opens. How to connect these lecture type files with a player? Windows XP. Thanks.

Local SWF files can be played with the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Note that the download is the player, not an installer.
FLV files can be played with Adobe Media Player, which is no longer supported. Use a 3rd party player such as VLC media player.

How to install Flash Player with Windows Vista 64 bit?

IE 9, Windows Vista 64-bit, Flash Player quit working and won't install. Error Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.55. I have deactivated User Accounts and Security, gone to Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash and Run as Administrator NPSWF32_FlashUtil, and still not working. One suggestion was to run an add-on from Macromedia, but that failed and I don't know what the add-on was. Have also run System Restore and restored all my Internet security setttigs to default. Nothing is working!

If you can not see the moving sphere: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
Check the following:
Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer 9
ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer 9
Also check this:
In I.E.9, click Tools, click Internet options, click Security tab, ensure that the Internet security level is Medium-high.

Controlling Flash timeline with Javascript

I have a project I'm taking over from a Flash designer. The
way he created the project isn't the way I would have done it, and
I'm trying to salvage what is there. My question: Is it possible to
control the timeline of an .swf from Javascript?
Basically, the movie has four different sections, each noted
with a frame label. I'd like to be able to have the user click on a
text link in HTML, and using javascript, load the movie in a new
window, and immediately go to the frame label specified.
Is this possible?

Yes, Flash and Javascript can communicate. I would try using
the toolkit from

How to update adobe flash player with os10.6.8

how to update adobe flash player with os10.6.8

You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

How much work is it to create a custom flash player with chapter navigation

I am bidding on a job to do a simple instructional video that will be about 2 minutes in length. The client wants me to put the video in a flash player that has some buttons on it that a user can click on to go to a specific step. The instructions will have, for example, 10 steps, so they want to be enable the view to click on any one of the step numbers to jump to that point in the video.
I did a google search for flash programmers who would quote me on how much they would charge me to create the flash player after I sent them an encoded video. The only company that bothered to give me a quote said that it would be 5 to 7 thousand dollars for them to create a flash player with navigation for me. I was thinking that this would be like a 2 or 3 hour job for someone who knows flash. Is it really that time-consuming to create a flash player with chapter navigation?
Am I starting to think that I am in the wrong business if you guys are getting $5k to $7k to set up a relatively simple player to put on a web page.
I've got the Master collection but have never wanted to take the time to learn flash. But if I could charge that much for jobs, maybe I better learn!

I don't really know how to do this but I've seen some things that make me think it isn't that hard to do at all.
You should be able to install "cue points" when you encode the video in the Media Encoder.
I'm sure there's a very simple way to make links which would target those cue points.
5k is absurd.

How to upgrade Flash Player in Windows 8.1 Pro

I have windows 8.1 pro with IE 11 and the news video won't be able to play online. The error message is "Sorry, Clip not found...Media not found". It gives only an option to click 'OK' and the screen stays black. I am sure the video is OK, because I can run it on Windows 7.
I contacted Microsoft Support and they suggested I upgrade my flash player. My flash player version is 13.0.0.206 and the lasts is 13.0.0.214. I tried to upgrade and it says "Flash player is integrated in Windows 8" and no option to install it.
I also tried uninstall Flash player with Uninstall Flash Player tool but it did not uninstall Flash even though the message said 'uninstalled successfully'.
In brief, how do I correct 'Sorry, clip not found. Media not found' when I play online video? This is a news video, not movie or youtube and how do I upgrade Flash on Windows 8.1 with IE 11.
Thank You.

Hi Texan,
Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x systems and you can only update Flash Player for IE by updating Internet Explorer. Microsoft releases Internet Explorer updates whenever there is a Flash Player update (usually monthly). To update your version of Internet Explorer go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Windows Update > Check for Updates. Since you don't have the latest version of Flash Player, it should find the 'Security Update for Internet Explorer Flash Player for Windows 8.1 (KB2957151)' released May 13, 2014. Alternatively, the URL for this specific download is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2957151.
If you also have other non-IE browsers, you can install/update Flash Player by going to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using the non-IE browser and the page will present you with the appropriate version for the OS and browser.

Can any one tell me how to install flash player on powerbookg4.i actully uninstall it to upgrade it but now i can not install new one.it always says get flash player for powerpc when i try to install it after downloading.it is 10.5.8 version

can any one tell me how to install flash player on powerbookg4.i actully uninstall it to upgrade it but now i can not install new one.it always says get flash player for powerpc when i try to install it after downloading.it is 10.5.8 version

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 stop flash player showing errors?

Hi, does anyone know how to stop flash player showing runtime
errors? Is there some configuration option, or is it possible to
write a global error handler which would catch all the uncaught
exceptions so they don't get displayed to the users?
In my specific situation I've got 3rd party panorama
component in my flash site which creates some timers and listeners
but doesn't remove them when panorama is unloaded and then errors
keep showing periodically. Nothing else gets harmed and the site
keeps running normally, so it would be useful to just hide those
errors before a new version of the buggy component is released.
Thanks for any hint how to handle this !

Problems installing Flash player with IE

I am having problems with installing the macromedia Flash
player on Internet Explorer 6 on Windows 2000 pro. However the
thing is that with Firefox the flash player works fine. I tried
uninstalling and reinstalling the flash player with no success. The
install program will tell me flash player is installed, however on
every website with flash I get the square with the red cross in the
upper corner.
When browsing this forum I came across this thread:
Forum
thread .
In this thread it was advised to use the uninstaller which
can be found here:
Uninstaller. However
when I use this installer two files are left in the folder
c:\WINNT\System32\Macromed\Flash. The two files are GetFlash and
Flash9.ocx. When I try to remove the Flash folder manually I get
the following error message: Can not delete the file Flash9.ocx The
file is in use by another program. When I reboot and go the folder
again I still get this message. Could this be a problem so that the
Flash player will not install properly?
I hope that someone could help me fix this problem. In the
mean time I will use Mozilla Firefox as this browser does work how
it's supposed to.

Hi,
Which windows version you are currently using ?
If you are using Windows 8 or 8.1, then Flash Player for Internet explorer is updated by the windows update by Microsoft so you need to update your Windows to get the latest version of Flash player.
Current version is 17.0.0.169

Flash Player and JavaScript

Hi,
I am the creator of the
Virtual Cutter.
This is a website that can be used to create clips and playlists
for a large number of streaming video formats, and currently
supports the Windows Media Player, Real Player, Quicktime Player
and Kasenna Broadband Player. I am now looking to support the Flash
Player as well, or, more accurately, Flash-specific file formats
such as swf and flv.
As I am not a Flash programmer and do not know much about
Flash files, I hope to find answers to the questions I have about
this issue in this forum.
To use the architecture of the Virtual Cutter, I need to
access the Flash Player using JavaScript.
1. Is there a JavaScript function to get the current position
of the videofile? Something like flashplayer.getcurrentposition
2. Is it possible to add buttons to start, stop, pause,
rewind the file?
Off course, to play a clip, it must be possible to play a
file from any position in the file. The Virtual Cutter therefore
generates (depending on the player) an .asx, ram or.smil file, that
contains parameters for start point and end point/duration.
3. Is there a similar file format that I can use to play only
a selection of the Flash file?
4. Is is possible to create a playlist, so a sequence of
clips can be played?
5. What Flash-specific file formats could be processed?
The Virtual Cutter is an Open Source project. If anyone is
interested in working together on this, please contact me.
Best wishes,
André Rosendaal

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
1. Puffin
2. SkyFire
3. Photon Flash
4. Browse2Go
5. Swifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."
