Interacting with flash via a loaded text?

Here's my problem:
I have a project with loads of text ergo I am loading text
from external files with html formating. Now I have to insert
videos linked to the text file too (as in "dolor ipsum ... press
here to view video"). All I need is a code that lets my text
interact somehow with the movie.
Can I do it somehow through Javascript/Coldfusion/anything or
do I have to scrap my text and make things manually ?

I meant to write asfunction.

If by "text interact somehow with the movie" perhaps you need
to look at AS
function and call an Actionscript function that loads the
external video.

Example there shows how to work it with external sound.

  • Unable to interact with Flash content when running Firefox with restricted user

    When running Firefox with limited Windows user on Windows XP the Flash elements are displayed, the content that is set to auto-play does so even, but the flash area doesn't receive any mouse input: e.g. when I right click in the area instead of the flash context menu I get the browser context menu as if the flash plug-in wasn't even there. The exact same page on the exact same computer but with Administrator user works as expected: can press buttons, interact with flash controls and the context menu upon right-click is of course the flash one. This behavior occurs even if I disable all add-ons.

    Try uninstalling your sound card driver in Device Manager and reboot your PC.

  • Can't interact with any open windows, can't interact with flash content

    I've already tried reinstalling, resetting and deleting my profile, nothing's changed.
    I can't close any Firefox window by pressing "x", or by pressing Alt+F4, I can only close it through the task manager or task bar. Minimising or going into windowed mode is also impossible.
    If a new window opens itself (e.g. A download) I can't interact with it at all - It's visible on top of the main window, but nothing I do affects it.
    I also can't interact with flash content (like pausing a youtube video)
    There is absolutely no feedback when I try. The icon doesn't change.
    I recently reset firefox, there are no add-ons, themes etc. installed, the problem persists.
    I am running Windows 7 64bit, everything else (including other browsers) appears to be working fine and a virus scan (Avast! free version) turned up nothing.
    I'd really appreciate any help!

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Interaction with Flash files

    Hi,
    Whats the easiest way to interact with a flash file from flash builder?
    I wish to change the speed of a tween in a flash file based on a value set in flash builder.
    Do you have to do make my flash file a component? .. Could someone point me in the direction of building components in flash builder?
    Thanks
      Aidan

    The multi-SCO intro video shows it packaging Flash and Dreamweaver as single SCOs and they are both part of Adobe's e-learning suite.
    I know Flash has learning elements and Dreamweaver has the course builder extension but I need to package Flash with no learning elements. I have the content of a couple of dozen courses in Flash  and I can build the quiz easily enough.
    Is there anything that can package up a single Dreamweaver (with embedded Flash) as a single SCO in the same way that the SCORM runtime wrapper used to do before it became out of date?

  • Can't interact with flash dialog boxes[Solved- sorta]

    Any time I try to interact with a dialog box produced by the flash plugin (such as the one that pops up with you right click a flash application and select "settings"), I am unable to do anything with it. That includes moving it, closing it, or manipulating any of the  controls within it.
    I've been googling for the last hour and haven't come up with any kind of solution. I even tried installing flashplugin9, gnash, and flashplugin-mozilla, and they all give the same result. Nor does changing  browsers (I've tried opera, arora, swiftfox, and firefox) yield different results.
    Thanks in advance for any insight into this issue.

    I would try a different GTK2 theme first. Something not complicated like the default Raleigh theme.

  • Interactivity With Flash Video

    Hi,
    I'm working with a university on a project related to
    interactive marketing using video. What I'm looking to do is find a
    method that a user can start a video and then during playback click
    a scripted button nearby that will base its action on where in that
    video the user is.
    For example, you could have a 3 minute video, the first
    minute being a flat blue screen, second minute being a flat green
    screen, and last minute being a flat red screen. This video would
    be some simple embedded .flv file. The flash file would also have a
    scripted "PUSH ME" button somewhere near the FLV video player. When
    someone started the video and then hit the button it would pop up
    an box or send an email (ect) that states "You've clicked on the
    button during the [RED, BLUE, GREEN] section." according to when
    they clicked the button.
    Would anyone be able to point me to a tutorial that might
    explain how to go about recognizing at what point during a video
    playback a user interacts with that video, or might it be a simple
    few lines of action script?
    Thanks for your help,

  • Import, and interact with, Flash 8 movies in Flex3.

    Hey gang,
    I have a Flash CS3 App built with ActionScript 2.0 that imports Flash 8 SWFs. Those Flash 8 SWFs are each comprised of hundreds of movieclips.
    I'm rebuilding the Flash CS3 App in Flex 3, and even though I can import the Flash 8 SWFs but can't interact with them (change their color, change their sizes, duplicate them, etc).
    Before you tell me to convert all the Flash 8 SWFs to CS3/ActionScript 3.0 know that there are 700+ of them.
    Tips? Tricks? Ideas?
    A sample SWF (and source FLA) I'm trying to import into Flex 3 can be found here:

  • Interacting with flash content

    I've encountered some flash content that I can access using JAWS and WindowEyes, but get no feedback when using VoiceOver with Safari. The VO user's guide gives little to go on. Any advice?

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!
    Unfortunately, Flash has not been made VoiceOver accessible, so there's very little that can be done, except to put pressure on Adobe to sort out its act. Its feedback page is here.
    There's nothing Apple can do about this, though efforts are constantly being made, I've heard. Apparently the coding effort required would not be enormous.
    Sorry again,
    Archie

  • Some Flash Sites are not displayed with Flash Player 9

    Hello everyone,
    After having upgraded to Flash Player 9 I cannot view some
    flash sites on either FF or IE.
    I have checked around with other users also and they cannot
    see them either.
    Although the page seems to be loading with title etc. it
    remains blank or it shows a blank block where it is supposed to be
    the flash movie.
    The problem is that it only happens to dynamic flash sites
    that load text and images from external documents.
    With Flash Player 8 they worked just fine.
    The problem is that it is our company's page so we want to
    have it up and running for everybody.
    You can check the page here:

    Any help would be appreciated.

    When a customer's business website goes down after installing
    Flash Player 9 he just wants the site back up. First I had to
    figure
    out that they installed the Flash 9 player and then I had to
    go to the Swish site to find out that Swish files won't run right
    on
    the Flash 9 player unless they get patched first. After
    running the downloaded patch on all the swfs on the site (yes
    uploaded
    correct files and cleared the cache) there were still odd
    things happening. I didn't have time to analyze why this was so, I
    just
    had to put the site back up and fast. Now that I have that
    site back up (I have others that will need fixing too, no doubt), I
    will go back and test everything again with Swish.
    There are a whole lot of hours being lost over this
    Swish/Flash9 player issue. Regardless of who's fault it is, there
    are many
    Flash sites down now.

  • Using UI Automation Framework to interact with Flex applications

    Hi all,
    I created a small flash app using Flex builder 4.
    I am writing a tool to interact with flash applications using UI Automation Framework which is similar to UI Spy. I've read in so many forums that accessibility can be done using UI Automation or MSAA.
    Using the tool, I am able to get all the fields that are present in the application. (button, text, edit fields etc). Now, I want to use InvokePattern on buttons from my tool so that, if I click "Invoke" in my tool, the associated button will be clicked in the flash app. Here, I find no issues to do anything.
    But, if there is a textinput field on the flash application and I use ValuePattern of UI Automation to set some value in the field using SetValue(), then I am getting
    "System.InvalidOperationException"
    even when I tried simple SetFocus() on to that field, I am getting the same exception Looks like, I cannot interact with flash text fields in the same way I do with other window's fields.
    I used UISpy and other tools to see if they are doing any better with setting values on a text field. But, they too failed with same exception.
    Can someone tell me why this is failing? Does flex/flash support UI Automation to this extent? Are there any examples or links that can help me here?

    @riatest Thanks for the info.
    I downloaded flex sdk to see if there is anything that will help me. But, In flex sdk, I cannot find anything that would ease my path. I want to stick to developing in C# to talk to Flash applications. What is the best way to proceed? Are there any sdks that I can download and use for C# development to interact with the flex controls? What is the way to go? I seem not to find any good hits in the web as well
    Thanks

  • Firefox freezes with Flash addon enabled; doesn't freeze with Flash addon disabled.

    Running Windows 8, Firefox 18.0.1, plugin Shockwave Flash 11.5.502.146 (current version, according to Firefox plugin check).
    Firefox freezes every time when loading a page with Flash content when the Flash plugin is enabled. Firefox does not freeze when the Flash plugin is disabled. Repeatable, tested and confirmed multiple times - freezes consistently with Flash plugin enabled, loads pages perfectly when Flash plugin is disabled (though without Flash content).
    When in this frozen state, Firefox is completely unresponsive - displays a blank page, can't type anything, can't click on or move/minimize the window. Must be force-quit via task manager.
    Other browsers (e.g. Chrome) do not have this issue with Flash. Have noticed several similar problems reported with Firefox and Flash, but the only solution I have seen offered is to downgrade Flash (and introduce potential security issues). Surely there must be a better option? This is a massive issue for me - Firefox is my preferred browser but I cannot use it while it has this allergic reaction to the Flash plugin.

    Downgrading Flash is not a solution. This problem seems to be intractable. It will be the end of Mozilla if they cannot address this issue (or even acknowledge the problem). Firefox needs to play nice with current versions of Flash.

  • Trace() not working with embedded SWFs created with Flash Builder

    I have just migrated to Flash Builder 4.5 with the 4.5.1 SDK.
    I have an application that loads a lot of child SWFs into it - some of which are created with Flash, some are created with Flash Builder.
    I am noticing now that my trace() statements that are called from within SWFs produced with Flash Builder that are loading as child SWFs into my main SWF are NOT appearing.  However, trace() statements called from within SWFs produced with Flash that are loading as child SWFs into my main SWF ARE appearing.
    This is an extremely major problem and has short-circuited my debugging/development.
    Any recommendations, workarounds, or suggestions?

    If the child SWFs were created by performing an "Export Release Build", then trace() statements would be omitted.
    You can control this by setting the -omit-trace-statements compiler argument (in Project properties -> Flex Compiler -> Additional Compiler Arguments).
