SetTimeout in Flash MX/Flash 6 player?

Is it possible to use setTimeout in Flash MX and in the older
Flash player versions?
I understand that setTimeout function exist only from Flash
8, so how can I "create" it
in older versions?
Is it possible doing the setTimeout action with setInterval?
How?

I just tested it. It looks like you can publish to flash
version 6, but it only works if you play it back in flash player
8+.
If you're using Flash 8, set your publish settings for flash
player 6.
You can use setInterval and just cancel the interval after
the first call.
var myID = setInterval(traceLater,3000);
function traceLater() {
trace(getTimer());
clearInterval(myID)
trace(getTimer());

How do I update my Flash Debug Player for Flash Builder 4.6?

Hey how do I update my copy of Flash Builder 4.6 to the latest flash debug Player?

Go to flash player downloads and get the latest one for your browser.

How can I install the Flash Debug Player in Internet Explorer 10?

I just downloaded the Flash Debug Player 11.4.402.287 from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/11/flashplayer_11_ax_debug.exe - however, trying to install it merely shows a message box saying
The installation encountered errors: Your Microsoft Internet Explorer browser includes the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player built-in. Windows Update will inform you when new versions of the Flash Player are available.
I'm using Internet Explorer 10.0.9200.16384 on Windows 8. A bit of Google research suggested that IE10 has a Flash player built-in (similiar to what Google Chrome has) so I looked for a way to disable the player. It seems that this is indeed possible by clicking the Cogwheel icon in the IE10 toolbar and then selecting 'Manage Add-ons'. The dialog which shows up shows a 'Shockwave Flash Object' entry. However, even with the built-in Flash player disabled, the Flash Debug Player installer keeps giving the same message.
Does anybody knwo how I can install the Flash Debug Player in IE10?

I do not know, but check if there is anything useful in http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/flashplayer/pdfs/flas h_player_windows8_admin_guide.pdf

Using Flash Media player to play files run from a database

Hello all,
I have a dynamic webpage which is connected to a MySQL
database displaying dynamic information stored in a MySQL table.
One additional field I have added is a 'video' field in which
the path to a flash video file is displayed.
I have a number of user (each user corresponds to a row in
the table) pictures which are stored in a folder, but the paths to
which are stored in the database.Using Dreamweaver, I can drag the
dynamic binding onto the image place holder and then it will lift
the corresponding image from the table, but the flash video player
doesn't seem to allow me to do this.
I would like to do something similar for flash videos, but
I'm not sure how to do it. Whenever I add a flash movie through the
media player I need to specify the path - which will change
depending on what entry in the table is being viewed.
I have created my websites only with dreamweaver and can't
program which probably explains why I've got no idea what to do.
Hope I made sense - will gladly clarify or send you my code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Adam

Make sure that your database has the full path and that you
are tetsing in
the browser. You won't be able to see anything in DW

Flash media player in my browser resets security/privacy settings!

Why do the last three versions of flash media player in my browser reset my security and privacy settings leaving my system totally vunerable??? I have set and reset multiple times both locally and on the global settings panel on the Adobe web site.

Reguardless of what is "encoded" into Shockwave Flash streaming player the fact that the settings default back to accept update notifications, allow peer to peer sharing, and storage settings still exist since the last several program updates.
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l
All programs have been updated, re-installed to all current versions. Checked everyday the player will reset anywhere from one to five days from being set. I also check before and after any utilities run on my systems to verify the change is not caused by any resident commands or software. Yes this happens on different computers and OS.
I run all maintenance and security manually, including updates of any kind.

Flash 8 Player security settings Help

Hi All. Im having some annoying problems with Flash player 8
(the standalone player not web one).
I am making a flash portfolio, and am using an XML file to
import data (such as images and text) into the portfolio at
runtime.
Everything works when run in the flash IDE when i run the swf
(see IDE.gif), but when i run it in local flash standalone player
(see Player.gif), the images are blocked out (un-masked) - this
doesnt happen when i view the swf on the web or when i make a
projector, which makes me think its something to do with flash 8
player security settings.
ive already changed the settings, adding the local path of
the file and the image directories, but still it wont work.
what other settings do i need to change??

There is an MMS.cfg file that you can deploy that will allow
you to
control this site wide without individual user interaction
(overriding

Flash Video Player Need Help

Hello everyone I am hoping someone here can help me. I am going to school and I have an action scripting class. For my final project we have to make a flash video player with a custom skin to upload to our websites. We did something similar to this with our first project which we made a player where the movies where embedded in the file itself but this is supposed to be a youtube like flash player where we can call in the files from another source.
We kind of got pressed for time and were not able to go into detail with this project so the teacher gave us the code and I put it in exactly how it should be but im pretty sure i have something misplaced or I am missing a step. I get 8 different errors when I go to test the movie. and nothing works. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or can you point me in the direction of a tutorial on this as I have been searching for tutorials on this with no luck.
Here is my Action Script 3.0 CODE:
import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
import fl.controls.List;
var vid:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
vid.source= "fashion.flv";
addChild(vid);
vid.skin="SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf";
vid.x=100;
vid.y=300;
vid.skinAutoHide="true";
vid.width=500;
vid.height=280;
var vidList:List = new List();
vidList.x= vid.x+10;
vidList.y= 200;
vidList.width=200;
vidList.height=100;
vidList.addItem({label:"Bathroom Behavior",data: "bathroom.flv"});
vidList.addItem({label:"Chase Scene",data: "chase.flv"});
vidList.addItem({label:"VMCAD Fashion Design Commercial",data: "fashion.flv"});
addChild(vidList);
vidList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,playVid);
function playVid(e:Event):void{
vid.source=e.target.selectedItem.data;
Here is a screenshot of the errors I am receiving.
Please help me
thanks

I don't know if what you posted is all that is in that as file, but you need to declare a package, then call the import statements, then declare the class name. Like this:
package {
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import flash.events.Event;
     import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
     import fl.controls.List;
     public class Main extends Sprite {
          public function Main() {
               var vid:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
               vid.source= "fashion.flv";
               addChild(vid);
               vid.skin="SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf";
               vid.x=100;
               vid.y=300;
               vid.skinAutoHide="true";
               vid.width=500;
               vid.height=280;
               var vidList:List = new List();
               vidList.x= vid.x+10;
               vidList.y= 200;
               vidList.width=200;
               vidList.height=100;
               vidList.addItem({label:"Bathroom Behavior",data: "bathroom.flv"});
               vidList.addItem({label:"Chase Scene",data: "chase.flv"});
               vidList.addItem({label:"VMCAD Fashion Design Commercial",data: "fashion.flv"});
               addChild(vidList);
               vidList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,playVid);
          function playVid(e:Event):void{
               vid.source=e.target.selectedItem.data;
Then click on your stage in Flash, then open the properties window, and fill the Class text field with:   Main
Make sure the as file is saved in the same folder as the flv.

FLV not working with Flash 9 player

Ok, strange issue here. I've converted a file to FLV using
Flash 8, imported the video into Flash 8 and published it to my
site. When I try to view the video in IE (I'm on winXP by the way)
using the Flash 8 player it loads correctly and starts playing. If
I'm using Flash 9 player the video never loads. I can right click
in the area where the swf is and I get the Flash options so I know
the swf is loading, but the video from the FLV never loads. Any
ideas?

I have the same issue. Everything works great in Flash 7 and
8. I am playing .flv files from a different spot in the server and
I am calling them from a swf file.
In Flash 9 the file won't play. Here is my sample file:
http://ce.byu.edu/cw/yase/.
The quick fix security.allowDomain("*"); has no impact on this
call. I am using my_video.attachVideo(stream_ns); to load the
video.
I have changed the mime type in another server, restarted and
I have the same problem. Any help would be great!

You should paste the object code in a HTML Snippet.
All your songs and playlist should be in the MusicPlayerExample folder.
And then test that all performs as it should.
If you do that you have no problems.
But you pasted the code in the HTML page itself after publishing. If you do you have to check the path to all the files.
You would have found that there is no file here :
http://web.me.com/cbarrywdw03/KlausBadelt/Credits_Blog/Entries/2010/4/swfobject. js
Rule of thumb : Keep custom stuff out of the Site folder iWeb creates.
I pasted your code in a HTML Snippet and 3 demo MP3s played in the flashplayer. So no problem there.

[Solved] KDE desktop crashed when i close the flash music player

Just as the Title, those days everytime when I close the flash music player"http://player.mbox.sogou.com/player" in firefox, my desktop crashed, and my desktop panel disapeared for a while. Several seconds later the desktop recovered. I have no idea what caused the problem. Does anyone have the same problem? Or who have idea what have to do with it?
Any idea is helpful! Thank you in advance!

Just out of interest, why the old KDE?
You may get more info if you start firefox from the command line and reproduce the crash.

Looking for stand-alone Flash 9 player

The only version I can find in the downloads area is the
browser plugin.
I want the standalone player so that I can see the console
output. I'm just starting in AS3 programming so I need to see the
error messages.

There is no download of the standalone. The only publicly
distributed version
is the browser plugin/player.
Download the authoring tool, Flash CS3 and you will get the
standalone with it.

Flash audio player script played MP3 sped-up for only one user

Hello all,
My first post here; I hope this is the right forum for a
general/newbie
Flash question.
I'm using a Flash audio player script that I got here:
http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-player-wordpress-plugin/
Here it is on the web page, a few lines down from the top of
the blog post:
http://mojomom.blogspot.com/2008/06/mojo-mom-podcast-momma-zen.html
It's an MP3 of a podcast which has been working fine
everywhere I've tested
it. But we just heard from someone who says that when she
tried it, the
audio was sped up so that "the voices were like chipmunks".
Anyone have any idea what might have caused that?
Thanks very much in advance for any help,

I've reinstalled flash and checked that I have the latest version but this is getting ridiculous
Everytime I want to use skype or itunes or iplayer, I have to log in as the other user, close down all their web browsers, then go back to my account to get it to work, much to the annoyance of the other user.

Setting up Simple Flash mp3 Player

I have a page with some links to mp3 songs.
I would like to set things up so that when user clicks a mp3 link, a small flash mp3 player (embedded in the page) starts playing with that songs. The user could click on another song that would replace the last one at any time and have basic controls.
- flash mp3 player - need 1 that has start / stop and volume buttons (simple)
BTW: I set this type of thing up in the past with a frameset - top had quicktime player embedded - and bottom song links went to top frame - all was fine but kind of bulky.... looking for something a bit slicker...
Also would like to do the same for flash / quicktime videos
Also if there's something free or close to free that is a jukebox type where the song list is part of flash - that might be fun too....
Thanks in advance - dave

Best export from FCP4.5 for conversion to Flash video player?

Hi,
I'm prepping a 5 min edit production for the best web presentation w/o excessive file size / loading time. The production has a lot of subtle detail & layered images so there a lot of opportunities for this to turn to mud (shot on low grade digital consumer video camera & also in lower light settings).
I exported in H264 at med quality & got a good looking 75 meg file. Tried uploading to YouTube, fearing the worst, and it actually created something decent from that file. I could just link that embedded file to the intended website, but I dont want that YouTube logo in the corner. I'd rather recreate what they do in Flash w/o the logo.
Does anyone have info on what YouTube does to the videos it processes into those flash video player files? Compression or resolution settings? It looks like going that route will give better results that can be universally viewed than the standard mpeg route. (file size & universal viewing on all platforms are my only reason not to post in H264).
Are these issues best solved going from a big FCP export and handled with settings in Flash? Or is there some export choice in FCP that will give best (size & res) quailty with minimal influence needed from Flash?
I've tried Compressor but havent been able to get any results from it. I just get errors that I dont understand. If thats the solution, I'll dig into that further, but would appreciate any tips / guidance.
thanks
