Passing flashvars to standalone player

How does one pass flashvars to the standalone player? The
executable doesn't seem to take any arguments, doesn't parse URLs
with variables (e.g. file://movie.swf?var=value), and doesn't make
use of any environment variables I've tried.

Yes this is possible with our Third Party Tool Jugglor.

How can i test my web applications SWF in the standalone player?

I have been using flash builder for a bit, and i love it!, but i don't want to test webb applications in my browser, i want to be able to launch them in the standalone player or debugger. After numberous google searches, it seems my flash builder IDE has something wrong with it, ( Even after re-installing it ) because when i try to make a new launch configuration, it doesn't have a field to accept a run or debug path. only a path for the html file used in the browser. This conflicts with all of the adobe help posts . I'm stuck here. can anyone help? thanks.

I would avoid using <center> tags, they're deprecated (http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_center.asp)
instead I would do something like
<div style="margin: 0px auto 0px auto; width: 800px;"></div>
put your content inside that div and it should be centered. Set the width to whatever you want.

How to customize title of standalone player?

I have a small Flex based calculator that I need to publish
as a standalone .exe
I open the SWF in the standalone player, and File > Create
Projector.
I can rename the file, but the title of the player window and
the tab on the windows taskbar says "Adobe Flash Player 9".
Is there any way to generate the projector and have the
titile be sometthing different? It makes sense, since the player is
running, that it identifies itself, but I was wondering (for
application distribution) if there is any way to change it somehow.
Thanks!

Unable to launch swf in standalone player

I'm unable to launch swf's with the standalone player from
within flexbuilder, it will always use the browser.
I've unchecked the option 'Generate HTML wrapper file' from
the 'Actionscript Compliler' settings menu and I've tried to force
it to use the debug player to the best of my knowledge.
I'm on OSX 10.5.1 ( macbook ) and using FlexBuilder 3 beta3.
I've done two reinstalls of the OS, and the problem still comes up.
I've installed FlexBuilder first and then Flash CS3. I've prayed to
the internet search engines with no sign of hope, so please
adobe... you're my only hope :)

Hi toknee,
There was a bug related to this problem. The next FB release
should have the fix.
Here is the bug URL:

Non-Debug version of standalone player?

Both Flex Builder and the SDK include the debug version of
the standalone flash 9 player. How to I get the release (non-debug)
version of the standalone player for Windows? Does it exist?
I see a place to download the release version of the
standalone player for OSX but not for Windows.
Thanks

And the answer is...
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/ts/documents/tn_19166/Install_Flash_Player_9_Acti veX.zip
(Until the link breaks some day...) Adobe really hid this gem
well as far as I can tell, buried in the flash install trouble
FAQs. But whatever, happy now.

Files not bundled with standalone player

When creating a Mac projector file from Flash CS4, I'm only getting the standalone player app (13MB) not the project files bundled together. Before I encountered this problem, the final projector files were around 25MB. I've reinstalled Flash and am still having the problem.

What keeps you from crossgrading if you've got other FCS apps?
Here's another option. Get Apple Motion used. Then crossgrade to FCS for 200[total it's a freakin deal]! Where there's a will there's always a way...Hey.

Need third party standalone player

Can anyone recommend a third-party Flash standalone player
which will play .swf's? I need to have my content play NOT via a
browser and I do not wish to publish as a self-contained file. This
is intended for my co-workers who do not have the Flash source
software installed.
Any suggestions?

i did a google search for "flash stand alone player" and

Change standalone player version in .exe?

I need to publish an .exe with Flash Player 9 embedded as the standalone player. I have CS4, which embeds Flash Player 10. Is there a way to change the standalone player to version 9 without using CS3 to export the .exe?
I have attached a .jpg displaying visually what I need.
Thank you for anyone who can provide assistance!
- ME

After several days of putting things together, I have successfully gotten CS4 to export different standalone player versions. Here are the steps:
1.) Go to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and download old debug versions
2.) Navigate to Flash folder, rename Flash 10 player to "FlashPlayer2" and paste, in my case, version 9r45, rename as "FlashPlayer"
3.) Relaunch Flash CS4, export as .exe, and it exported as version 9r45... now they interchange easily
All of this was necessary because of the FullScreen bug in v9r115 and above to v10. I went back to 9r45, changed the casing of the string values, and it worked perfectly.
Hopefully this will help others in the future.

Standalone player (projector) for Linux 64?

I'm looking for a standalone player (projector) that will run on 64 bit linux (specifically ubuntu 11.04). There was a projector included w/ v10 but it appears to be 32 bit only. Is there or will there be a standalone player for linux 64? I need this to run automated tests (FLEX SDK w/ TeamCity) on a headless box.
Thanks!
Jerry

i am looking for this too, any ideas?

standalone as the name says "stand alone". it runs on desktop
not in the browser.
In fact, security will never allow to run standalone in
browser nor any type of
such file for that matter.

Disable QuickTime plugin from launching standalone player

I have a QuickTime plug-in embedded in my web page. When I click on the main screen of this plug-in (while video is playing) a standalone QuickTime player will pop up. Is there a way to disable this from happening??

function loadQuicktime(index) {
var qtDivObj = document.getElementById('movId' + qtMovieQueue[index]);
if (qtDivObj) {

Thanks QuickTimeKirk.
I have took out the "T" and now when I click on the QuickTime plugin it does not launch a standalone player (Which is what I want) but now it seems to refresh the QuickTime player (reloads itself). How can I avoid this???
Thanks again.

Unable to make a DVD to play on standalone player from DVDSP4

This post summarizes a problem I wrote in about last week. DVDSP4 on my main g5 will not burn a simple DVD to play on a standalone player. My second g5 can do this. This rules out problems with external players and media. I have uninstalled reinstalled the software and it still won't do it. Before that I had tried deleting the preferences. It has been able to create disks that play on the computer's own DVDPLAYER.
I have to fix this problem. What's the next logical step? A new burner? Is there something I'm missing re: the computer itself? (which seems okay.)
Chris

Take a look here for some media brands (did not see HP or who makes it). Verbatim are usually good for +R DL and Taiyo Yuden -R for single sided. (Many people swear by TYs, the DL is a bit more open)
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
Image to disk
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
It sounds like something fishy is going on with the machine, but worth trying other media. You may also want to try to build to another location and make sure you are formatting from there. Perhaps somehow you are using an older build?
Also check your VTS view and try making the first play VTS 1 (even if it is only a few seconds of black).
But it does sound like something on the burner itself may be off. Try the disc image as a start or use Toast if you have it. (I seem to get more reliable burns that way as oppossed to using DVD SP)

Pass flashvars to swf in swf?

I am loading a child swf inside a parent swf, and need to pass variables from the parent into the child. I don't have control over the source code of the child, so I can't have the child pull data from the parent; the data needs to be passed to the child swf in a standard fashion, so that the child works just as if it were embedded in a page using flashvars.
I've tried passing variables to the child as parameters on the URL:
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://mysite.com/child.swf?var1=aaa&var2=bbb");
ldr.load(urlReq);
addChild(ldr);
This seems to work ok, but apparently Internet Explorer doesn't allow URLs longer than 2083 characters (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/208427). I need to pass a fairly long string of parameters to the child which will likely exceed 2083 characters. So I'm trying to avoid passing the parameters directly on the URL, and wondering if there is any other way to populate the child swf with the variables that it will expect. Is there any other way of passing flashvars to a swf-in-swf?
Thanks,
Dave

Craig,
Thanks for the reply. I've tried this too but unfortunately, passing the data using URLVariables has the same limitation in IE.
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://mysite.com/child.swf");
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.var1="aaa";
urlReq.data = variables;
ldr.load(urlReq);
addChild(ldr);
This still results in a request being made to http://mysite.com/child.swf?var1=aaa, since it's using HTTP GET. If the entire URL (including the query string) is longer than 2083 characters, IE is unable to load the URL.
Any way around this?
Thanks,
Dave

Pass flashvars to an AIR app?

I'm converting a Flex app to an AIR app.
The current flex app uses the SWFObject inthe html template
to pass in flashvars...
var so = new SWFObject("myappp.swf", "myappp", "${width}",
"${height}", "9.0.115");
so.addVariable("XMLData",
getXML(document.getElementById("MyXMLData")));
so.write();
...where MyXmlData is defined in the html template as
follows....
<div style="display:none;" id="MyXMLData">
<video>
<clip url="rtmp://cpxxx.edgefcs.net/500k/myflv"
hideSkin="false">
</clip>
</video>
</div>
In my ActionScript I get the flashvars as follows...
if (!loaderInfo.parameters.hasOwnProperty("MyXMLData"))
throw("Error: Missing XML Data");
How would I do this with AIR? Is there a way to pass the XML
to the loader when the AIR app is starting up? To put it another
way... How would I pass flashvars to an AIR app?
Thanks!
Chris

It depends on how your application is being launched. If it's
being launched from a web page via the browser API, you can pass
arguments to the launch call. That's not really appropriate for an
entire XML file, but you could pass e.g. a URL to one.
However, if your application is being launched directly by a
user on the desktop, then there's no way to pass arguments to it.
Stepping back a bit, it might be more useful to think about
your use case and how to make it work, rather than focusing
immediately on Flashvars, which is just a feature.

Passing flashVars with the html-wrapper command

Hi,
Is it possible to pass flashVars when the html template is generated using the html-wrapper task? So that I dont have to edit the html template to add flashVars?
Something like this in the html wrapped swf?
AC_FL_RunContent(
     "src", "TestApp",
     "flashVars", "myName=Danger&myHometown=Los%20Angeles",
     "width", "100%",
     "height", "100%",
     "align", "middle",
     "id", "TestApp",
     "quality", "high",
     "name", "TestApp",
     "allowScriptAccess","sameDomain",
     "type", "application/x-shockwave-flash",
     "pluginspage", "http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"
The flashVars I want to pass when I run the html-wrapper task.
Thanks
