Running flash objects in forms 6i

Dear all,
I am trying to run a flash object (.swf) file in my forms.
My version of oracle forms 6i is Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.11.3 (Production)
I created a new forms
then placed an active X control
Then by selecting its properties i select ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.10.
After this I select this control and right click and chose the same shockwave flash
After this I chose full methods and properties for shockwaveFlash in program menu-->import ole library interface
after doing all this i wrote the code in "when-new-form-instance"
DECLARE
     oleitm1 OLEOBJ;
BEGIN
GO_BLOCK('DUMMY');
SYNCHRONIZE;
     oleitm1 := :item('DUMMY.OLEITM').INTERFACE;
     ShockwaveFlash_IShockwa_0.Movie(oleitm1,'C:\1.swf');--it can be dynamic.
END;
I compiled it by Ctrl+shift+K
no error.....
But when i run this program it gives the following error
FRM-41344: OLE object not defiend for OLEITM in the current record.
I have tried to resolve this error by searching on Google, but found no proper solution.
I might me missing some steps.
Kindly suggest and guide.
Thanks.....

one more thing i want to say here is that
even i try to use any other object like html file or something
I got the same error..

FF4b7's window gradually 'blacks out' so to speak when running Flash objects.

The window's elements may turn black immediately upon playing, say, a YouTube video. They may also black out when hovering over items like buttons in a toolbar (after Flash has started usually). Happens often.
[IMG]http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm270/warfang866/FF4b7blackout.png[/IMG]
The only way to fix it is to close the browser. I was able to click the close button in the title bar to do this, even though it had already turned black.

Hi systemBuilder, you are not alone in your frustration. The problem is the plugin model: plugins are allowed to do much more than they can be trusted to do intelligently. Without a change to that, Firefox cannot stop the Flash player from changing window focus.

How to read a local file using as3 in a flash object in HTML? [urgent]

My web site contains a flash object.
I want to use as3 to read some local .txt file
by getting the user directory of the file.
i know AIR can support this by sth like:
File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath
but when i open a AIR file for this, it seems
the action cant be run when i embed it in html.
And i tried to use the above function in a normal
flash file in the action script.
But it cant recognize the File. class..
How can it be done ?
It's reli urgent,
please help...
Thanks !

a web based flash app can't detect user directories. you can use the filereference class'es browse method to let the user locate a file in any directory the user wants. flash can then retrieve the file's name and type. but, as mentioned before, flash can't determine the file's directory.

HTML page with FLASH object doesn't reload upon a redirect

Am using: ECC 6.0 and ABAP SAPGUI development
Hi All,
I'm seeing a frustrating issue that i'm hoping others have seen and resolved.
Here is what i'm attempting and below that is the issue:
1) I have created a ABAP program in which i'm using the HTML viewer (class: cl_gui_html_viewer ) within a container that is on one of my ABAP screens.
2) I load up a web page on our (intra)network that displays an HTML page that has a nice FLASH navigation object. This navigation object operates as such - when a node is clicked it will go to another html page (on the same network) that will then parse apart what node they clicked on and via javascript submit a form in which I've defined a SAPEVENT for.
3) My ABAP program has defined the event handler for this sap event and calls the appropriate method just fine (ON_SAPEVENT). I am able to trap the event details and do some other things.
This is all working just fine, except....I want it to then go back to the first page (original page) that contained the FLASH navigation on it upon after the page that trapped the SAPEVENT is complete automatically. Easy? - that's what I thought...I tried several different ways to do this "go_back" on the html control, "show_url" (with the original URL)...even a redirect in the actual html page itself to go back.
They all DO go back to the first page, however my flash navigation object on that page NEVER shows up! It's almost like the frontend is thinking it is already loaded and will not load it again. I thought maybe I need to do a "flush" or some such - but that didn't seem to solve it. Has anyone seen this and resolved it or knows what this is? The thing is...I can completely exit out of the program - and the flash object will load just fine (but only after I wait a minute or so). What gives...anyone know?
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Hi Venky CRMIT, Bruce007
Aside from the question, I tried another methods and I have succeeded calling webservice. A reference URL is
http://www.webbasedcrmsoftware.com.au/crm-on-demand-tutorials/65-java-access-to-crm-on-demand#_Toc224720963
Main cause may be jsessionID as you guess. When I try with EAI, I have send login information and message call at once, so URL may be incorrect.
Thank you for your help.

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

Flash objects (images/buttons/etc) does not display on some PC's

I am trying to deploy an out of the box web application called the Mid-Tier, where some forms/pages in the application have embedded flash images/buttons/icons that do not display on IE despite the fact that there is Flash installed on these PC's. Most of the PC's are XP.
I suspect it is some of the security settings in IE. Unfortunately security options are disabled to end users so I cannot even get to see what these settings are..
This web application works perfect on some test PC's that have default browser settings and the same flash version installed.
The flash objects appear on these screens as white boxes instead of some control buttons and icons that should have been displayed.,. Hence these pages are non functional.
Any hints?
Joe

Hello David,
except the latest Flash Player you have also and the latest Java installed (Next Generation Java Plug-in 10.25.2 for Mozilla browsers) , check if you activate the plugins : [https://support.mozilla.org/el/kb/troubleshoot-issues-with-plugins-fix-problems#w_determining-if-a-plugin-is-the-problem Determining if a plugin is the problem], select always active.
see also: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/why-do-i-have-click-activate-plugins#os=win7&browser=fx23 Why do I have to click to activate plugins?]
you said : ''One guy said you could fix it by going Tools > options > content > make sure Automatically load images is checked (but there is no such thing on that tab in my Firefox????)''
not exist any more from 23.0 version and above (see : http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/23.0/releasenotes/) because of this : http://limi.net/checkboxes-that-kill , if you 1 (as a value) in '''permissions.default.image''' in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] you are OK (checked[v]).
also many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Inserting flash object

Hello All,
i am trying to add a flash object as i have done 1000 of
times before.
Opening the html on local computer works fine but as soon as
i upload
this to my webserver it doesnt work any more?
i see that DW CS3 addes a Jave Script while adding flash,
this is new
to me! could this be the cause of the problem?
I am running XP Pro, IE 6.0, and FireFox 2.0.
any help is appricated.

John has the right explanation. Here's some more info....
It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
several
years ago to their browser, regarding how Active Content
(Flash, Quicktime
etc)
is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

If you're running Dreamweaver 8.0.2/CS3, the fix is already
built into DW's
interface.

Adding a flash object behind another object

Hi, using dreamweaver 8, and I want to add a flash object
behind an image.
Basically I have downloaded an image of a retro TV, edited in
Photoshop and taken the screen out. The TV is sitting on a
transparent canvas, so that the screen would be transparent as
well.
I have a flash slideshow that I have created with
simpleviewer. If I insert this to the web page it runs ok, but I
would like to insert it behind the TV image, so it appears it's
coming out of the TV.
Is there any way that I can do this?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, but it will require a bit more work.
Consider a 3 column by 3 row table. Make the flash element
appear in the
middle cell of the table, and have the TV image appropriately
sliced so that
the required images appear in cells 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2-1, 2-3,
3-1, 3-2, and
3-3, in effect surrounding the Flash element.
You can do the same thing with background images as well.
I used this on this page -
http://www.neapco.com/n_why-neapco.php
for that main content Flash element.

Error #3343 - XMLExporter Method 'Run' of object '_Application' failed ...

Hi all,
I am new to the Migration Workbench tool - so excuse me if I ask some silly questions.
I have a MSAccess 2002 application with some tables and forms (plus macros) - When run the omwb2002.mde program (version 10.1.0.4.0) - select my mdb file, set the directories and press the "Export Database Schema" button I get an "Error #3343 - XMLExporter Method 'Run' of object '_Application' failed ..." error !
No Files are created !
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
You may be receiving the MS Access Error #3343 - Unrecognized database format for one of the following reasons:
1. You are attempting to open an MS Access database in an older version of MS Access e.g opening a 2002 MDB file on a machine where MS Access 97 is installed.
Ensure that the Exporter Tool version and the MS Access MDB file version all match the version of MS Access installed on your machine e.g. If attempting to export a 2002 MDB file, you should use the omwb2002.mde and have MS Access 2002 installed on the machine.
2. You have a linked table to an Excel spreadsheet.
The Exporter tool supports the extraction of linked tables where the link is to another MS Access database. Links to Excel spreadsheets should be removed prior to export. Make a copy of your MDB file, and remove any such links from the new copy. Then carry out the export.
3. Your database is corrupt & needs to be repaired.
From the MS Access menu bar, go to Tools | Database Utilities | Compact and Repair Database... to repair the MDB file.
I hope this helps. If none of the above steps resolve your issue, please let me know.
Regards,
Hilary

Flash object not updating (Captivate 6)

I'm using a flash object on one of my slides. This is a help file. The file was created in Captivate, published, and then I'm putting the flash object onto a slide. When this slide is referenced, the flash file plays. It's a few static screens with forward and back buttons. The issue is that on one of the screens, the wrong text was inserted. I fixed the text, re-published, deleted the flash object from the slide, and put the new one there instead. But when I run the project, it still shows the old version, with the wrong text. I'm not sure why this is. The source file was changed and updated. I've tried restarting the computer in case it's being help in memory, but still, it keeps showing the old version with the wrong text.

I tried adding a random button to the file, publishing, and using it again. This time, the button didn't show up, but the text updated. So I deleted it and tried the original file again. Still showing incorrect text. I opened the file, added a button, saved it, deleted the button, republished, reinserted the flash file, and now it works. So maybe there have to be changes saved for the file to update? Not really sure how it worked, just glad that it did.

Missing 'shockwave flash object' in powerpoint

Hi,
I've read hundrews of tutorials on how to add a file into a powerpoint 2007 presentation. For some reason though, I don't have the option of 'shockwave flash object' in the menu.
I am running windows 7 new as of 2 days ago and a copy of office I downloaded from microsoft 2 days ago. I have re-installed both Flash Player and Office - both with no succession. Is there any way I can fix this?
I've tried searching for the .ocx file - but have no idea what it could be called and found nothing that looked remotely related.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do? The project is due tomorrow at 9am - and I've been working on this one bit for all of today without getting any closer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have installed PowerPoint 2010 beta release on my machine. I was able to attach a SWF file to the presentation successfully. All options to insert a video are located on the Insert tab, in the Media group. Please refer to the link below on how to insert a flash movie to the presentation.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint-help/embed-a-video-in-your-presentation-HA010 374729.aspx?CTT=5&origin=HA010338310
