Shockwave Flash ActiveX reference?

Hello. I am trying to embed the Shockwave Flash ActiveX
object into my C++ application. I am having a hard time finding the
official reference documentation for the interfaces. Does anyone
have a link on hand?
Thank you for your help!

When i had used the shockwave flash activeX, i always have to insert the activeX class again, like the first time. And when i build an aplication, the activeX doesn't work.

How can i solve this problem?

First you should verify that your activeX is correctly registered in your system.
Execute the command: REGSVR32
Then try again.

My Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with Windows 7 / 64bit

I have downloaded the newest version of Adobe flash, and it installs like normal...and I think it is working fine....but on some sites (even You Tube) and some software programs, I get this message:
Your version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with this version of Windows.
I am tired of wasting so much time with this...I read on the net that some people compiled their computer to 86...whatever that means....but no one explained how to do it.
I have a Flash professional in ADOBE MASTER COLLECTION C6 / but all programs and sites default to the normal Flash player (that constantly gets updated,

I have a similar problem, Win 7 64-bit, I did a clean install*, downloaded latests (Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player), and after restarting my computer, Win7 64-bit Action Center popped up: "Your version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with this version of Windows" with no error codes to look up knowledge base. Like seriously, no one from Adobe answered this in 9 months?! And the steps in Common problems | Flash Player sound like I need to purchase support before I file a report?
Currently, my Firefox plugins only show Shockwave Flash 13 not Adobe Flash. Do I need to install Flash plugin for Firefox? (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe)
Thanks!
* as per How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?:
1. Add or Remove programs ... Flash ... uninstall,
2. deleted all files & folders in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash, C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash, %appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player, %appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player),
3. verified that the files “FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl”, "FlashPlayerApp.exe", and "FlashPlayerInstaller.exe" in C:\Windows\system32\ (for 32-bit systems) or C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ (64-bit system) were deleted,
4. prepared to use Unlocker http://www.emptyloop.com/unlocker/ if any files couldn't be deleted,

In PowerPoint I Have Shockwave ActiveX Control - How do I Get Shockwave Flash Object?

I'm running the latest versions of Windows 7 and PowerPoint via Parallels on my Mac. I want to insert a Flash movie into a PowerPoint slide. The instructions I've found tell me to look in Developer section->More Controls, find Shockwave Flash Object, use it to insert a Flash Object, and then to edit the Movie property of that object. But, I do not see Shockwave Flash Object. Instead I see Shockwave ActiveX Control. The properties of Shockwave ActiveX Control do not include a Movie property.
I have gone to "http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/" and clicked the option to install the Shockwave Player, but the site says the Shockwave Player is already installed.
How can I get the Shockwave Flash Object for PowerPoint into my installation?
Thanks very much in advance to all for any info.

Hi Vik.. I don't use Powerpoint but I do know about Shockwave Flash Object. It is in the manage add ons and installs when Flash Player is installed. It is an ActiveX Control and if you have the latest FP installed, Flash10d.ocx should be listed on the same line. It may or may not list the version #, which would be 10.0.42.34. It must be enabled.
Beyond that info I could give you a link to a thread that involved powerpoint 2003 and 2007 if you think that would be of
any help to you.
Just post back.
Thanks

Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control

I am trying to run Samsung PC studio and I keep getting this error message, "Your version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with this version of Windows."
I had to re-install CS4 because of an update error message (which I am still getting) and I think that caused this problem because this program ran fine before. I do have the latest version of Flash installed (11.8.800.168) but that is the plug-in. Is the Active X control something different?
If so where can I download that?
I am running W7HP, 64 bit
Hopefully someone can help. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response but I actually started having this problem all of a sudden about a month or two ago before I encountered the recent flash problem. I think something is keeping CS4 from updating properly and that is what caused the flash issue. I had not un-installed it prior to last week.
Is adobe still offering support for CS4 when it is update related?
Any other suggestions?
According to the support page, no more support for CS4 is available.
http://www.adobe.com/support/programs/policies/supported.html
Adobe only supports two version back of the current, which in this case is CC. That would mean CS6 and CS5.5 are the two previous, and that's where it stops.

My version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with my version of Windows

I am trying to use a new copy of Camtasia Studio 3, and I keep gettiong the error message that my version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with my version of Windows and that I should ocntact Adobe for support. So here I am.
I am running Windows7 64bit, and it's a brand new computer so I know that there aren't tons of legacy installations or Flash players on it. This page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html tells me that I have Flash Player version 11.4.31.110 installed but that I should have 11.4.402.287 installed. But I have installed the latest Flash player from the Adobe site (twice!) and it never gives me an option for 11.4.31.110 vs 11.4.402.287.
I am using Chrome and Flash is working fine in my browser: It's only Camtasia that isn't working well.
Thanks!

Hm, I assume you mean Camtasia Studio 8?
Check the chart on the page you linked. You'll see that the version you have installed is in fact the latest version for Chrome. They haven't updated it beyond that. Each browser engine has its own latest version of flash. IE and Mozilla are 11.4.402.287.
Aside that, there's no reason Camtasia should be requiring you to have that version of flash. Make sure when you're publishing your content that you don't check off any options to "require the user to have the latest version of Flash". You should also (if possible in your project) try to target MP4/HTML5. Check any HTML being generated with it (hopefully using SWFObject) and check for the version checking code. There is absolutely nothing Camtasia needs to require the latest version to do. I've been using Camtasia (TechSmith codec mostly) for screen recording since version 2.

Flash ActiveX, FScommand

Hello All
I would appreciate a little guidance on a issue I'm having.
I am using A'ware 7.02 and Flash 8.
I am building a wrapper program that launches a flash-based
assessment that is designed to work with a Scorm-compliant LMS.
There has been a breakdown in rolling out the LMS, so I've had to
simulate an LMS within the wrapper, so that it can run on a network
drive until the servers are ready.
The assessment communicates with a flash-based utitlity that
directs most of the communication between Aware and the Assessment.
The only way I have been able to successfully have all three
pieces communicate with each other is to launch the two flash
pieces using the Shockwave for Flash Active X control. The problem
is there are 5 assessments and growing, each in a unique location.
I have had to have a unique sprite for each assessment because I
can't figure out how to do a relative path in the control.
I don't like not being able to add assessments without going
back into the Aware peice. Any suggestions?
I have not seen any documentation on best practices when
having three different programs communicate this way.

Few questions...
1. When you refer to 'two flash pieces' in your fifth
paragraph, are these
the utility and the assessment itself?
2. IMO you'll have to learn the inner workings of the utility
in order to
have it launch each new assessment on the fly. It should be
possible to do
this, however.
3. Relative paths should not be a problem in the ActiveX
itself...rather,
you'll be using the ActiveX to control the logic of the
utility.
4. Finally a general question...if this tool/simulation
you're building is
a short-term solution until the servers are set up, is it
really worth
building? Why not just wait until the servers are ready?
OTOH, it might be
a great thing for you, as you'll be learning a lot about
Flash-AW
communication.
Additional comments....
SCORM based assessments that I've worked with send out a data
package when
the 'submit' button is pressed by the assessment-taker and
this follows a
stardard format of 9 specified fields. If you like send me
the relevant
files (including the FLA of the utility if you can get it)
and I'll try to
sort it all out for you.
Also, as you say there is little documentation on having
three programs
communicate. There is, however, a nice little piece of
documentation on the
Flash ActiveX control API, which I'll send you if you contact
me.

Need Detailed description of the differences between Adobe Flash Player Plugin and Shockwave Flash

For many years now I have been in a quandry over Adobe Flash (plugin) and Shockwave flash. The quandry is also somewhat exacerbated by the variety of subsetted versions supplied for each.
You know, it is sorta like the name and namespace dilemna provided by Adobe's continuing use of "Macromedia" when sometimes referring to, or distributing, their products... eg still creating Macromedia folders during installs.
I have been told that Shockwave Flash actually contains the Flash plugins. If that is the case should I be upgrading to a newer Shockwave Flash version if Adobe announces or (as recently occurred) denounces
a newer version of Adobe Flash.
Will you please provide me with details for, and distinctions between, these two products?
Hoping you can respond in a flash ... er... two flashes.
Thanks

OK Thanks I silly-goofed in describing what I meant in my initial post. I needed to say what's the diff between Adobe Flash (=Shockwave Flash) (plugin) and Adobe Shockwave Player.
So will you please detail the differences between Adobe Flash (=Shockwave Flash) and Shockwave Player?
I have been told that Shockwave Player actually contains the Adobe Flash (=Shockwave Flash) plugins. Is it both
Flash Player ActiveX control for Internet Explorer
Flash Player plugin for all other browsers
that are contained therein?
If the above is indeed the case, should I be upgrading to a newer Shockwave Player version if Adobe announces or (as recently occurred) denounces a newer version of Adobe Flash (=Shockwave Flash) .
Here's where I am headed will all this:
I have been asked by one of your coworkers Chris Campbell, to prepare an Adobe Bug report and paste back to the Adobe Forum thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4428382#4428382
Since I have Adobe Shockwave Player 11.6.4.634 and Adobe Flash (aka Adobe Shockwave Flash) ver 11,1,102,55 currently installed and since
Adobe Flash 11.2.202.235 will not install without a "...The procedure entry point ... kernel32.dll ..." error for my Windows 2000 Professional configuration
I want to uninstall Adobe Flash (=Shockwave Flash) ver 11,1,102,55 and the then further troubleshoot the MLB.TV media player "abnormal spinning circles" problem.
Will the MLB NexDef detector actually detect the "Flash version inside Shockwave player"? Will the MLB.TV NexDef software actually work nicely with Shockwave Player Flash?

Can't update Shockwave Flash plugin

I'm only updating Shockwave Flash because the plugin page says to do it; otherwise I have no problems. The sequence of updating problems I am having is different from that described by others:
1) Checked for plugin updates: Shockwave Flash 11.1 r102 was highlighted as "Vulnerable" with red UPDATE NOW.
2) Clicked on Update Now and was prompted to download Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.62 (not Shockwave Flash); Ran downloaded .exe file to install; Closed Firefox during install as requested and installation completed.
3) Opened Firefox; Checked plugins and now saw notice that Flash Player version was out-of-date and disabled.
4) As test, played a youtube video; Clicked on prompt at top of screen for "missing plugin"; Update self-executed, requested closing Firefox, and completed installation.
4) Opened Firefox; Checked plugins and once again saw that Shockwave Flash needed UPDATE NOW (as described in #1 above). Adobe Flash Player is not listed anywhere in the plugin list.
So now I'm back to where I was before, wondering if I really am vulnerable due to this version of Shockwave Flash.

Note: Adobe Flashplayer (aka Flash) shows in Add-ons > Plugins as "Shockwave Flash (version)", a bit of confusion caused by Adobe.
There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
*an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
*a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
*On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
'''''You have the Plugin version for Firefox installed, but the last two digits do not show. ''''' In Add-ons > Plugins you should see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". You can test and see the full version at Step 4, below.
Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
*only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
*page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
'''Install or update Adobe Flash''' 
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
#*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box

#To update/install the ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''', repeat the process, '''but use IE to go to the above website'''.

Firefox Plugins lists Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.70 but Adobe lists this as Adobe Flash Player, and Version 12.0.9.149 as Adobe Shockwave Player, so wtf is going on

Flash causes us all immense confusion, and Firefox is adding to the problem.
My Firefox Add-ons page lists (under Plugins -- isn't there a difference?) that I have:
Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.70 which is set to "Always Activate".
Adobe websites list:
Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.70
Adobe Shockwave Player 12.0.9.149
-- so what on earth is the Firefox-listed "Shockwave Flash"?
This simply adds to the utter confusion already surrounding Flash Player -- which I cannot find anywhere amongst my Programs -- but which I can find under "Uninstall or change a Program" where it is listed as "Adobe Flash Player 12 Plugin".
There is also the thorny issue of FlashPlayer vs. FlashPlayerDownloader......
I need a flash of inspiration to get me out of shock -- I'm not waving, I'm drowning!

In the internals of the plugin it is still referenced as Shockwave Flash. That hasn't changed as it would break websites that check for a specific plugin name. You can see that on the about:plugins page and in the properties of the Flash plugins file.
You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and paste this JavaScript code in the command line to see how the Adobe Flash Player plugin identifies itself:
<pre><nowiki>console.log(navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].name);
console.log(navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description);
</nowiki></pre>
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Web_Console
On disk you will also see Macromedia for folder names used by the plugin.
*32 bit Windows: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
*64 bit Windows: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
* C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\

Hello,

says Flash Player not installed or not activated

Please help me.
Thank you in advance

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Error message while installing Flash ActiveX

I've recently installed Macromedia Flash MX 2004 with the
idea of using as a tool for designing webpages. Everything was fine
until I was asked to download Flash ActiveX 9.0 (which I already
had) and I couldn't. I tried uninstalling Flash MX 2004 and then
installing the ActiveX, but it was useless. Then I looked for help
at Adobe site and I got the same results: nothing. I'm thinking
that it can be some problem with the registry, because after
installing Flash MX 2004 I was warned about a registry change by
Scott Patrol (security program). However, I've posted a logfile of
my registry on other forums and I was told it was clean.
The problem is definitely not related with downloading the
files, but with the installation process, as I've downloaded the
files, and when trying to instal, the process stops at
"Registering: C:\WINDOWS\Macromed\Flash\Flash9f.ocx".
If someone can help me, I would be grateful.

Flash ActiveX's CallFunction method always fails (E_FAIL)

Hi,
I likely have collected all information in the web, but still
facing the problem.
I am trying to
host the Flash ActiveX in a C# program and establish
two-way communication between the host application and the
ActionScript contained in my SWF file.
On the ActionScript side, I use the
ExternalInterface class.
On the ActiveX side, for callbacks, I use the
IShockwaveFlash::
FlashCall event, which
works perfectly in all host applications I have experimented
with. For direct calls, I use IShockwaveFlash::
CallFunction() method, which
doesn't work on some host applications (unfortunately those
I need). It
fails with COM error (HRESULT E_FAIL, "Unspecified error").
Here is what I have done so far:
1)
Installed the latest Flash Player 9, registered Flash9c.ocx
ActiveX.
2) Granted Flash
security permission to the folder where my SWF is located by
prescribing it in
"C:\Documents and Settings\myname\Application
Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust\myapp.cfg"
Before I did this, the FlashCall event caused a SecurityError
reported from the Flash player. So it makes me think that my
problem is
not a security issue any more.
3) Tested the SWF file
hosted in a browser (both IE and Firefox). The two-way
communication with JavaScript
works perfectly in both ways, so it means there's no mistake
in my ActionScript code, and the way I call ExternalInterface
methods is correct.
4) From JavaScript, I tried the following two ways of calling
the ActionScript function (called "Handshake") in the SWF movie
object:
// JavaScript code
// call directly
swfMovieObject.Handshake( "hello world" );
// call via CallFunction
swfMovieObject.CallFunction( "<invoke name="Handshake"
returntype="xml"><arguments><string>hello
world</string></arguments></invoke>" );
the both methods also worked perfectly, which means
the <invoke> xml string I am passing is correct.
5) When hosted in
VB6 and on MS Access 2003 Form, the CallFunction method
works perfectly.
6) Finally, the
CallFunction method fails to work when hosted in
Word 2003 document,
Excel 2003 worksheet,
VBA form in Word 2003 or Excel 2003, and also
in a C# program written in Visual Studio 2005.
I've seen others reporting this problem, but seen no
resolution so far. It may be that this problem occurs only on
some machines? For example, the sample .NET program here
http://www.codeproject.com/cs/media/flashexternalapi.asp?df=100&forumid=226349&exp=0&selec t=1518421
doesn't work on my machine, although it should have worked on the
author's machine.
Please help!

Just figured this one out. I'm using VC++ 6 with ActiveX Flash 10. The code snippets here will call the Flash function testFunction from VC++ using the CallFunction command and the appropriate XML. In VC++, make the following call assuming that m_flashGUI is the CShockwaveFlash object added to your dialog.
CString ret = m_flashGUI.CallFunction("<invoke name=\"testFunction\" returntype=\"xml\">"
 "<arguments><string>something</string></arguments></invoke>");
The key item in the xml string is the "name" parameter. It must match the name in the addCallback function in the Flash movie.
In the flash movie, have something like the following. The addCallback call is important. Without it the CallFunction from C++ will throw an exception.
// Import the flash items
import flash.events.*;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
// Associate the flash function with the external call
flash.external.ExternalInterface.addCallback("testFunction", testFunction);
function testFunction(str:String):Boolean
 // Do something here...
 return (true);
Good luck!
Mike

Flash activex version problem

dear all
my problem is as follows, please bear with me:
i have a vb6 application which uses flash activex control to show swf files on my forms.
when using flash10d.ocx (which was the latest at the time i first used it) everything worked fine and all flash files did their thing...
since new versions of the ocx file have been released my app doesnt work properly anymore (some of the flash files appear distorted/dont refresh/resize properly, some doesnt appear at all.)
i know that i can uninstall any version and re-install my flash10d.ocx. and if do, everything works fine again.
but that cannot be a solution, cause my end users might (rightfully) want to be updated with the latest flash they can have. and i dont even have direct contact with any of them...
any side-by-side installation i tried ended-up with vb using the latest version intalled, ignoring the older one
any comment and direction will be greatly appreciated, i've been crawling the web for some time now...finding absolutely zilch
thanx a lot in advance
E.

Hi Olga,
Please try this
Resolution
Set Flash Player Security Settings to allow the local drive to be trusted. Also see the Xcelsius 2008 Installer Release Note on Adobe Flash Player Security.
This will also occur if you snapshot or export to a local format such as PPT, HTML or Word and try to run the SWF file.
To enable trust:
1.)    Go to http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html
2.)    Select "Always Allow"
3.)    In the "Always trust files in these locations:" drop down, select "Add location""
4.)    Browse for the location in which your SWF file is located or add C:\
Hope this helps.
Regards
Nikhil
