Package Flash and HTML based extensions together

Hi All,
I'm wondering if there is a way we can package a single zxp with two extensions- a flash-based and a HTML-5 based.
Is there a way, we can tell our extension to install (say) extension1 with InDesign version < 9.1 and install extension2 with InDesign version > 9.1 ?
Since our old extension was in flash and the new extension in HTML, we should be able to bundle both the extensions together and let the Extension Manager manage that in version which extension should be installed; else for any updates we need to upload separate extensions everytime. Is it possible?

Hi,
please see HTML Panels Tips: #10 Packaging / ZXP Installers

Every time you open page, flash reload from scratch. That's
how it works.
You can use frames and keep the menu in frame, which would be
easiest solution.
Or you could use Shared Object, something like flash's form
of cookies.
Make a record every time you press button, read that record
every time you
open the page and based on result do something with the menu
to indicate
that this is the clicked location, tho take note, it still
will be loading
the file from zero, every single time you open new html page.

Advice on integrating Flash and HTML

I have googled and researched this topic on the web.
Integrating Flash and HTML seems like a popular topic but much of
the information is dated (using FS commands or solutions based on
2000-2004 coding and/or hacks) I am using Flash CS3 and Dreamweaver
CS3. I can use Actionscript 2 or Actionscript 3. Here is my goal
I want to use a Flash navigation in the top third of my page
and have it control and load new HTML pages in the bottom two
thirds of the page. Some of these html pages use SPRY code but most
are simple HTML pages. I prefer Flash over CSS because I have more
control and predictability. What I have found so far is three
different solutions.
1.HTML Framesets. This seems like a really good idea but I
thought using framesets was a fading technique and should be
avoided. Is this true?
2. Using the ExternalInterface class to communicate between
Javascript and Actionscript. This also seemed like a good idea but
it is not clear to me how to implement. Do I combine this with
innerHTML or some type of AJAX technique.
3. Keep everything in Flash and load different swfs into main
Flash page. I like this idea the best and it would work for most
pages but I still like html pages when there is alot of text or I
want to use SPRY techniques.
When I have posted elsewhere I get references to articles
telling me why Flash is bad or framesets are bad or innerHTML is
not standard HTML. The only thing I am sure about is that most
people are pretty passionate about defending their own way of doing
things. I am hoping someone can provide some solid information
about what is possible and how to implement a solution.

When is Firefox metro going to come to 32 bit windows 8? and can improve flash and html 5 performance!

When is Firefox metro going to come to 32 bit windows 8 and can you improve flash and html 5 performance it cant play 1080p videos smoothly I love Firefox but I'm using IE 10 for browsing and video, then Firefox for developing but want to use it for everything!

This article might answer your Windows 8 questions:
[[Does Firefox work on Windows 8 and Windows RT?]]
Link: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/does-firefox-work-windows-8-and-windows-rt?
As for performance issues in Firefox with Flash 1080p videos, Information about your graphics driver might help. See:
*[[Use the Troubleshooting Information page to help fix Firefox issues]]
This Adobe page might also be helpful (it recommends disabling hardware acceleration in Flash settings as a possible workaround):

Is there a way to develop an HTML based extension for Dreamweaver like ones for PS or AI?

Is there a way to develop an HTML based extension for Dreamweaver like ones for PS or AI? I mean like extension produced by Extesion Builder 3.

Snippets is a good idea. But you can also do this with a template. Each time you use FILE | New > Page from Template, as you would to create a new child page, you have the option to enable or disable an option called "Update page when template changes". If that option is DISABLED (i.e., unchecked), then the child page will be created but with NO TEMPLATE MARKUP (i.e., no editable/non-editable regions)! Seems that's exactly what you want, no?

Flash in HTML-based AIR app: Urls do not open

Hy there
Like the title states, I have a HTML-based AIR application, which embeds flash. This flash opens Links which should eventually open the default browser. For this I previously had to set the following property in my AIR application:
window.htmlLoader.navigateInSystemBrowser = true;
Like this the URL calls were forwarded to outside the application and then opened the webbrowser. We had successfully tested this on various systems.
However, now there are users of our application, who report that on their system (Including WinXP Professional SP3!) the websites do not open at all. When clicking on a link inside the app nothing happens.
Their system:
Hardware: Lenovo IdeaPad S12
Windows XP Home Edition v2002 Service pack 3
IE 7 (Version 7.0.5730.13)
Firefox 3.5.7
I had a look at the system and things like switching the default browser or re-installing Firefox did not work. Unfortunately this is a critical issue and kinda urgent so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

Thank you for reporting back and letting us know.
Chris

Having Flash and HTML option

If I were to have an option the person visiting a website to either go to a Flash-based site or HTML-based site, how would I go about doing this (aside from building two separate sites)? Do I make my index.html page with two links to go to either? And if so, what name do I give my home page? Also, how would the file system be set up?

Use SWF Object Replacement script on any page with Flash in it.
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/
The script detects if Flash is supported. When it's not, HTML alternatives are displayed on the same page. This method is probably the most web accessible and you can use your current site structure.

Flash and Html combined elements

I have a question, basically what I have is a flash site, and
one of those sections is a news section, when someone clicks on
that section i want it to open up html webpage within flash and
then be able to scroll up and down the page because i know it all
wont fit. I want to do this because it will be easier to update, i
do not want anything fancy perhaps a picture resized and some text
under it, when you select the picture it will open in a new window
full sized. Does anyone know how to do this?

Here's a good help article that should help to explain the process: Adobe Flash Platform * External API example: Communicating between ActionScript and JavaScript in a web browser

Using Flash and HTML with Sound

Hi All,
I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to Flash and want to
start using it a bit more but I'm in 2 minds as to which way to
build my site.
I would love to have the functionality still of html and
place the odd bits of Flash in on the site or just create a flash
site but place each page into a seperate html page but there are
issues with the sound. I want ongoing music to be playing but the
tutorials I have looked at seem to lead to a stop start problem
when the visitor clicks from page to page. I want to make it a
search engine friendly as possible which is why one of my options
is to put build seperate html pages for my Flash instead of having
just one.
There may be some coding issues with a couple of pages that
link into databases and I would have to link these pages to pure
html pages for functionality purposes but this would need to be
done either way.
Can anyone advise which way I should go with this and if
there is a solution to the stop, start sound issues with loading
individual pages.
Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated.
Thankyou in advance
Stephen

Flash and html "mainFrame"

I'm almost done with my website and no the important thing is
what I tested isn't working anymore. I have a flash menu (on the
root of the server) in a frame called "topFrame" and html page in
my "mainFrame" (html/projects/startpage/startpage_still.html) I use
the flash menu to load html pages in my "mainFrame" by an XML. The
problem now is when I push a button the htmlpage is opening in the
new window and not in the "mainFrame".. see below for more
details.. I hope this explenation makes any sense. Can anyone help
me with this problem?
Button action onrelease, getURL(link[p], target[p]);.
In my xmlfile (xml/projects.xml) I a have,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>

Possible to use both PowerPC and Intel-based systems together with Qmaster?

Hello,
New to the Qmaster setup, I was wondering if it was possible to set up a Qmaster cluster mixing PowerPC and Intel-based systems. If it is possible, what version of Qmaster would support this type of cluster?

While it can work, note that if there is huge difference is processing speed, the PPC machine can actually slow down the process as everything waits for it to finish it's instance and copy it back.
It's worth a try but keep an eye on how the various computers perform.
Have fun.

Flash and local based Search

Hi Community,
We have to build search functionality that can easily adapt
from a CD-based local search system to a web-based, server driven
search system. Any pointers on the best approach? What options are
out there for building local search in Flash? Is it just Flash/XML
and text files or are there special add on/components I need?
Thanks!

Firefox 11 beta is having issues loading Flash and HTML content, shows plain text instead of images

I'm not sure what is causing the problem but it has been happening since beta 10 and now its also in beta 11. Randomly when I load any web page the page is displayed in plain text leaving all the HTML or flash content blank. Yes I have the most recent version of flash installed along with Java just in case it was looking for that mess as well. Sometimes the pages load fine, and sometimes they don't, it's like playing lotto with the internet. The only fix I know of is to either keep refreshing the page and "hope" it catches it on the reload, or closing Firefox and running CCleaner. Some times FF will load some of the visual data and leave gaps but usually its just basic text mode. I'm at a loss as to whether the problem is from Firefox or my ISP being a douche, either way its annoying that Firefox is not showing internet pages like it used to.
Hate to see it happening but it looks like Firefox is on its way to being just another Internet Explorer clone (failure). Should have stayed with your original team, all the new folks you have hired are really mucking up the whole project and its goal of a free and open internet. Not to mention writing bad code and costing you money and more importantly the user base.
(Update, now it's not doing it go figure, but I'm sure it will do it again at some point, perhaps its not Firefox and something else, I'll keep my eye on it and try to report any findings)

If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extension) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

html#anchor use to be very problematic few years back.
Browsers didn't like it and even tho
you made one browser like it, it would stop working in
another. We had all kind of work around,
from javascritp to url encoding. Perhaps give it a try and
see what works for you:
getURL("javascript:top.left.location.href='test.html#anchor';
void(0);");
Keep in mind , the functionality will vary based on browser
version also due to
new security settings, you might not be able test it locally,
might need to upload
to server.
If using URL encoding, replace the # with %23:
getURL ("some.html%23anchor");

How to use single ant build to package with and without native extensions

Hi,
I am using iOS native extensions for Adobe air. For this I am listing the extensionid in the application descriptor file. Since the package with native extensions are meant to run only on device, I want my build script to work without native extensions too to be able to run on simulator. Is this manadatory that I need two separate application descriptors/basically two build scripts to compile and package them? Please suggest and let me know if more explanation is needed.
Thanks,
Swathi.

why are you wanting to use single frames?
They allow having the initial frame address stay in the
address bar, and not
show the linked page's address. The problems they cause
usually override any
value.
Or- if we aren't using the same words the same way, please
give an example
site of what you want to do.
