Problem tyring to communicate with flash

I have a hidden DHTML layer that contains a flash movie. I
have an href link that makes the layer visible. I want the href
link to also tell the flash movie to start playing.
I installed the extesion "JavaScript Integration Kit for
Macromedia Flash 8, MX 2004 and MX" which contains several
javascripts for communicating with flash. I am using the js
function "FDK_goToFrame()" to start the movie, however I can't get
it to work. My swf was built in Flash CS3, ActionsScript 2. Does
anyone know if the Integration Kit still works for new swf files?
Is there some AS code that needs to be added to the flash file for
these scripts to work? The documentation is rather sketchy.

Is there some extension you are using to accomplish this? If
not, then I'd suggest that you ask your question in the Dreamweaver
General forum where you may get someone that has run into this
issue:

Or you may want to try the Flash forums to see if some Flash
folks know about it:

  • Does firefox have the same problem as internet explorer with flash player

    IE is having problems with adobe flash player. Before I download it on Mozilla platform I need to know if Mozilla is also having issues with flash player.

    There are some known issues with the Shockwave Flash plugin for Firefox that some are suffering from, so you will have install the plugin to see if you need to take action and how the plugin works.
    In case there are problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions, you can try this:
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
    See also:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting
    A possible option is to set the Flash plug to click-to-play by setting the permissions for Flash to "Ask To Activate" in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins".<br />
    That way you can activate the Flash plugin when you need it via the Lego block icon on the location bar.

  • Safari and Firefox Problems... possibly with flash plugin.

    A couple days ago out of nowhere Firefox was crashing whenever i went to... well, most websites. Most noticeably Youtube and Tumblr. So I downloaded the newest versions of firefox and a plugin that was out of date, and the Flash plugin. It still crashed-- nothing changed.
    So I moved on to Safari, it didnt crash when i went onto those sites. but i get a pop up message all the time, especially on those sites...

    thats the message.. theres a lot more. But that makes me think its something wrong with the Flash plugin. Maybe the same thing is wrong with Firefox...
    I have tried uninstalling with the uninstaller from the adobe website and reinstalling.
    Is anyone else having this problem?
    How do I fix it?

    I believe the WebKitPlugInHost needs to be updated for Safari as It crashes whenever I am playing FarmVille on FaceBook.

  • Problems previewing file and with flash action

    I am using Acrobat.com for my children's book in order to send it out to agents and it has been working well since October. I have checked it several times and there were no issues but today it will not preview either file any longer and the flash page turner is no longer working. I upoaded a new version of the same file and it is working but the link I sent out to agents will only allow a download now. Just wondering what may have caused this. I read where someone else had a similar issue but there was no result posted. The page turning issue, though not really an important feature, is just something I really liked about the program. Thank you.

    Hello,
    This should have been a temporary issue - the preview function should be working normally for the new file now. Please lmk if this is not the case.

  • Problem with Flash file in IE

    Hello Everyone,
    I have a strange problem and I'm not sure exactly what it is.
    I have a 1.5 Joomla site with this module in it
    <object height="20" width="1035">
    <param name="movie" value="LEDDisplayTicker-1040.swf" />
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    <param value="high" name="quality" />  <embed height="20" width="1035" wmode="transparent" src="LEDDisplayTicker-1040.swf"></embed>  </object>
    The site works fine in Chrome, FireFox and Safari but when it is viewed with IE I get an error and the page closes ( you have to surf through a few pages).
    I know it is the above module because if I turn it off, the site works fine in IE.
    The flash file imports and displays info from an XML file and the XML file reads from google finance.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Todd

  • How do I get flash to communicate with a database

    Hi I would greatly appreciate some help here as I am getting overwhelmed by the variety of products out there. I have written a flash program using AS3 which allows the user to build a picture of a product using a variety of options displayed in checkboxes. Very simply these checkboxes either make a layer visible or invisible in my flash movie and certain choices may change the list of options. This information is currently being supplied by XML. Once the user has built his product, I would like to be able to save his choices in a SQL Server database and also be able to download his options again at a later date and view these choices at the manufacturing plant.
    So far I have tried using asp.net to write to the database and have got the information to the asp.net program by using the querystring, however there may be up to 50 options which does make a querystring rather unwieldy. Also I cannot seem to send back information from the asp.net page to my actionscript.Can anyone tell me how to do this or give me an example? I am supposing that I use the response.write function in asp.net but what command in AS3?
    I looked into the possibility of using a webservice but see that AS3 no longer supports this as all the functionality is in Flex. I have read about Flex but still do not understand whether  it could help me and how it can communicate with my flash program and pass the options in and out of it.
    I also briefly looked at Flash remoting which did appear as though it was the answer but is even more expensive to buy than flash itself.
    Can anyone give me suggestions on how to move forward with my problem

    I haven't worked with ASP, so what I'm offering is based on using PHP.  For sending data to a database using AS3, you should be able to use the URLVariables class to pass the data to an ASP file.  The ASP file will maage getting the data into the database.  To get data out of the database, the most common method would be to treat the ASP file as a xml source, having it write xml formatted data to the Flash file.
    You might want to Google "AS3 ASP SQL tutorial" and see if you get any results.  Otherwise, here's a link to a tutorial for a PHP/MySQL version that might at least give you an idea of the processing scenario...

  • Buffering Problem with Flash Videos

    We are having problems with the buffering of newly published FLASH videos (rendered using Premiere/Flash CS6 and using Windows 8 and explorer/firefox/chorme).   Non-Flash Videos appear to buffer fine.
    An example of this problem can be seen at http://healthwatchusa.org/HWUSA-Presentations-Testimony/20130215-KY-House/20130214-kavanag h.htm 

    1.Default of bufferTime is 0.1 seconds. Try to set the value higher and see if that solves your problem. 
    2.If you set your component to autoplay, you could get rid of it and start the player if the VideoEvent.READY is fired
    3.If you have any code inside your swf that tries to communicate with other domains you should set the "allowScriptAccess" value inside your html container from "sameDomain" to "always"

  • "Letting Adobe Flash communicate with the internet"

    Ok, Here is the deal. I have some .flv video files hosted on my domain with a fantastic looking flash player. It all works great. Except that every time that I change any of the code in the html snippet, or load the page with said snippet on it in iweb, i get this message:
    "Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.
    The following local application on your computer or network:
    iweb-widget:58/$x-html-markup
    is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
    my.domain
    To let this application communicate with the internet, click settings.
    You must restart this application after changing your settings
    {OK} {Settings...}"
    and here's where my problem comes in. I can click ok, and it apparently just ignores the "security" risk and lets it go through that one time, but the next time I load up the page, I have to do it all over again.
    Alternatively, I can click settings, and exactly the same thing happens as when I click ok.
    Any idea how to get this message to go away. I understand what the "security" risk is, but I also know exactly what it is that I am hosting and I want to allow it to communicate with my webserver.
    For reference, here is the code in my html snippet
    "<embed
    src="http://my.domain/mediaplayer/player.swf"
    width="640"
    height="352"
    bgcolor="000000"
    allowscriptaccess="always"
    allowfullscreen="true"
    flashvars="file=http://my.domain/movies/shortclip.flv&backcolor=000000&frontcolo r=EEEEEE&lightcolor=000000&screencolor=000000"
    />"
    For clarification, when published and uploaded, every thing looks great and runs as it should, but I really hate this amazingly annoying nag message.

    I am already using the JW Flash player.
    http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JWFLVPlayer
    same thing as the link.
    That part is working fine. I just need to know how to change the settings so flash player doesn't get angry about it contacting an external site.
    Just kind of annoying that every time that I even load up the page to view it in iweb, I have to click to let it contact the external page, for every video on the **** page.

  • Allowing Flash Player to communicate with a local database OFFLINE

    Hi all.
    We've developed a flash application (using the latest version
    of Flash and Flash Player 8) which is run locally on a laptop and
    connects to a local database. Nothing about it requires online
    access.
    However, because the the flash is connecting to a XML source
    http://localhost/xml_source.php)
    it still treats this like its connecting to an online and remote
    site and thus asks for security permissions to be granted via the
    Macromedia website.
    This is fine, we go the laptop online and granted access but
    there seems to be a problem:
    The flash application works for a period of time (12-24hrs)
    while offline but then stops communicating with the database just
    as if it did not have security permission.
    Connect the laptop to the internet again and, hey-presto, it
    works fine... for a period of time.
    Now, this isn't proven yet but my theory is that Flash Player
    8 requires continually access to the internet in order to 'refresh'
    its local security permissions. I'm guessing the information is
    stored in a cookie or something and is expiryin after a set period
    of time.
    1. Does any one have any knowledge to verify this?
    2. Is there anyway to allow Flash to communicate with a local
    web server without it requiring any sort of security permissions?
    Thanks a lot.

    Would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums?  This forum is primarily for end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with a wider developer audience.

  • Problems with Flash Security issues and Captivate projects

    Hello,
    We're putting together a flash based eLearning course that has been created primarily in Adobe Captivate with flash plugins. The course consists of several modules, all which are embedded into HTML files that are linked to each other.
    Our client wants the project on a CD, which is starting to create some problems. Everytime the project goes to open another HTML/flash page, the security issue comes up that mentions that the flash player is trying to communicate to the internet.
    Now usually the way to get around this is to go into the security settings and add the CD as an accepted URL - however we can't do this for several reasons. The main one is that we are encasing it within Firefox Portable (included within the CD and as such, read only) and the computers it is being used on may not be connected to the internet.
    Any idea how we can get around this? Are the flash player settings stored somewhere locally on your computer, and can we configure them there? (perhaps through an ini or something) to place on the CD with the plugin for Firefox Portable? Is there a simpler way to address this that we're just not seeing?
    Thanks,

    Hi there
    I agree with Michael.
    Server2Go is also what I'd have offered. The mention of Firefox portable sound intiguing, but I'm really skeptical that it will do what is needed in this case.
    In case it will help, here are some steps for Server2Go.
    Download the Server2Go software from http://www.server2go-web.de/download/download.html
    Choose the Micro package
    This should result in receiving a zip file named distribute_apache1.3_micro.zip
    Unzip the contents of the zip file to the root of your hard drive ( C:\ )
    This should create a folder named distribute_apache1.3_micro
    Open this folder and delete the following files and folders inside:
    Files:
    splash.bmp
    logo.ico
    readme.txt
    Folders:
    dlls
    dbdir
    cgi-bin
    Open the htdocs folder and delete all files and folders inside.
    Copy all of your Captivate output files to the htdocs folder
    Rename the HTML page Captivate created to index.htm
    Copy the contents of the distribute_apache1.3_micro folder to the CD-ROM and test!
    Hopefully this helps... Rick
