Switching pages from flash-gui

I tried to switch to a page using a flash-button inside an rma which functions as a gui.
To do so I use an external interface call:
var jsCaller:Object = ExternalInterface.call("eval","this.pageNum = 1;");
I use eval frequently to call various methods within my document-script and so far it has never failed me. However, in this case, when I push the button, acrobat crashes.
It seems to switch to the page (at least the scrollbar indicates that) but before anything from that page is actually shown, acrobat crashes. The version I use is Acrobat 9 Pro Extended (version 9.1.0). I tested this in reader 9.4 and found the same behaviour.

Yes it does, and it will. The problem is that by switching pages the Flash annotation is disabled, but both Flash and Acrobat expect the externalInterface function to have a return value. As the Flash Player instance is killed halfway through the handshake, it takes Acrobat down with it. Probably should've fixed it, but it's not a major priority, as;
(1) hardly anyone uses it, and if they do they find out very quickly they can't
(2) it crashes in a safe-ish way, so there's no exploitability in the bug
One way around it is to call a doc-level function from AS which itself fires off a short delayed function call to set the pageNum value, so you can return the handshake to Flash *before* the page changes and the link gets severed. If your SWF is running in a pop-up window and set to manually disable, then it'll be fine.

Once again an extremely simple task made incredibly complicated. So this is a known bug noone cared to fix? Not quite what I would expect considering the retail-prize of Acrobat Pro Extended.At least I know what's going on now.
So thanx anyway.
Is there a chance this is at least fixed in Acrobat X?
BTW: A separate forum on Acrobat Flash would probably be a good idea (just like there is one for 3D-Features). I'm always unsure where to post such problems specifically involving flash in the acrobat context. As the documentation on this subject is very limited imho, there's probably loads of problems to discuss.

Stop pages from flashing

Hello
I have added a blue textured background to my RoboHelp pages
When I view the pages, they flash white and then load the blue background.
the background image is on 19kb.
Does anyone know of a way to make it so my pages wont flash?
Thanks so much inadvance for any advice or help

Yeah, I can be a brat.
On a more serious note, I'm not sure of exactly what you are seeing. Are you able to use something like Jing or Screenr to record a video showing us? You can just post a link to the video.
Click here for Jing

Trying to call MM_showHideLayers on container HTML page from Flash

I'm designing a site that is mostly in Flash, but I would
like to show some content by changing the visibility of a layer on
the HTML page that contains the swf file. I have tried
on (press)
{ExternalInterface.call("MM_showHideLayers",'testerbox','show');
and
on (press)
{ExternalInterface.call("MM_showHideLayers('testerbox','','show')");
and I have tried
on (press)
{getURL("javascript:MM_showHideLayers('testerbox','','show')");
My HTML page code is below. Can anyone tell me what I am
doing wrong and point me in the right direction? Can this be done?
Is there a better way to display large amounts of highly formatted,
dynamic content from within Flash without loading a new page or
resorting to a pop-up window? I really want it to look and feel
like it is all part of the same page, and I need more tags than I
can use in a Flash textbox. Thanks in advance :-)

You have your actionscript pasted into three different places. You only need the one at the bottom of your timeline in the Actions layer. Remove the others.
You have two sets of frame markers, one set in the Pages layer, which is correct and a second set in the menu layer where each frame is labeled "page". Get rid of those markers.
Extend the frames in the Actions layer to match the rest of the movie. Get rid of the extra keyframes in the background layer.

Error while displaying PCUI page from SAP GUI

Hi,
I did a new development in a SAP GUI report program such that when the report program is called in Portal, on clicking a button, PCUI application for service order will appear. This I did by calling the function module CALL_BROWSER and passing the URL
(for eg:- http://...../irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default?NavigationTarget=/roles/com.sap.pct.crm.ServiceManager/ServiceCycle/nf/ServiceOrders/BSPOrdersManager&DynamicParameter=CRM_OBJECT_TYPE%3DSERVICEPROCESSCRM%26CRM_BOR_TYPE%3DBUS2000116%26CRM_OBJECT_ID%3DFD3A2213D9F449CE83D7AF4EDCF642BA%26CRM_LOGSYS%3DCRD100%26sap-syscmd%3Dnocookie%26CRM_LOGSYS%3DCRD100%26CRM_BOR_TYPE%3DBUS2000116)
This is working fine when the connection is HTTP but when the connection is HTTPS, a new window is opening with Portal header details but the PCUI application is not opening.
Do I have perform any additional steps to get the application opened up in HTTPS connection?
Thanks & Regards
G.Raja

Hi Matthew,
Thanks for your reply. The CRM version is CRM 4.0 SP6. Unfortunately the notes could not be used in our scenario.
The URL is created by us and the function module CALL_BROWSER is called to display the PCUI application. The PCUI application is not getting displayed if the connection is secured (HTTPS) connection.
Thanks & Regards

Problem Targeting Frame From Flash

Seems to be a new problem.
Trying to open a html page in a frameset page from flash
seems to have stopped working correctly. It's opening in a new
window every time.
HOWEVER, did notice if I publish to a live server, seems to
work fine. Just makes for testing locally a pain.
Have not upgraded flash lately in either safari or firefox
which both are experiencing this issue. (think I still have flash 8
player)
This is a site I've been developing for several weeks and was
just working fine as of about 10 days ago.
Anything new happen lately? (like the IE embed object issue
earlier this year)
Any insight or confirmation of this would be
appreciated.

ok so my flash as3 is incorrect.
what should it be?

Need help stopping home page from appearing

Hello:
I've designed and programed the site www.pawsandclawspets.com
but I can't figure our how to keep the home page from flashing when
going from one page to the next. I have all my movies loading onto
a level above it and don't want to hide the home page entirely as I
am using the nav at the top on all the pages.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

The first image on your page is this:
<img id="logo" src="
http://test.inspiringmen.com/images/logo.png"
... />
onload=function(){
var imgs=[
"/images/logo.png",
"/images/another.png",
"/images/yetanother.jpg",
"/images/onemore.jpg"];
document.getElementById("logo").src=imgs[(+new
Date())%imgs.length];
This assumes that the "images" folder is at the root level of
your site.
You may add or remove image paths from the "imgs" array at
will.

Javascript call from Flash in modal dialog window

Hi.
As I see it's impossible to call Javascript function from
flash in modal dialog (opened with showModalDialog), neither with
getURL nor with ExternalInterface.call.
The only solution I found (in my case it's enough, I only
need to refresh some DIV content in the page from flash) is to
catch error in the modal dialog (Javascript window.onerror) and
then do some operations.
I'm intereseted: is this for security reason on Win XP SP2? I
didn't found any solution, but is there any?

Hi Gary,
Actually I'm not very sure that whether it is the VS issue if it still has this issue in a new Environment.
To make sure that it is not the VS setup file issue, one idea is that you could re-download your VS2013 Pre version here:
http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs
And then re-install it again. Test the result. Hope that it is not the VS setup file issue.
If still no help, really sorry for that I couldn't repro this issue in my side. But
you can submit this feedback to Microsoft Connect feedback portal:
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/CreateFeedback.aspx,Microsoft
engineers will evaluate them seriously. You could share this project in your report, the product team members would troubleshoot and repro this issue.
You will get email notification for update in your connect report.
If you submit it, please share us the link here, so we could get the latest information from the product team members.

Safari on iPad Air 2 flashes random pages from history

iPad Air 2 64GB WiFi running 8.1.3
When I open Safari, a random page from my history (usually from days or weeks ago) flashes on the screen for 1/2 second and then shows the current webpage.
I've cleared History and Website Data in Settings>Safari. Still does it. Safari even flashes pages that should have been cleared In that process!
I then restored the iPad as a new device through iTunes. Still does it.
I've had the iPad since November. It never did this until January. Hopefully the next iOS update will take care of it. Very annoying.

Forgot to mention- this happens upon launching Safrari from either a "quit" state or "background" state.

Switching from Flash to Flash Catalyst/Flex

For the last few years I have been developing applications for project reporting. To explain this in simplest terms, my clients give me hundreds of reports and supporting documents, graphics, videos, etc. which I then condense and reorganize into a presentation/application in Flash. The project is then published as an .exe to be burned to CD ROM or DVD along with any supporting files and is then distributed to project stake holders, investors, etc.
I'm considering the possibility of a switch from Flash to Flash Catalyst/Flex and want to outline what my needs are, here in the forum, in hopes that others now using Catalyst/Flex can help me decide if this is an appropriate move.
Features needed:
1. Basic animation, transitions, etc.
2. Full Navigation (up to 3 levels) for up to 300 slides.
3. Keyboard navigation (PageUp/PageDown) to navigate sequentially through the entire presentation.
4. Linking into other applications and documents - Word, Excel, Power Point, etc.
5. Full Screen Mode
6. Slide Show Mode
7. Search Features
8. Slide sharing (via email)
9. Video and audio w/controls
10. Pan and Zoom w/controls (panning and zooming of graphics and .swf files)
11. Scrolling (scrolling of text, graphics and .swf files)
12. Interactive forms
Can anyone please comment specifically on these features and wether or not they are possible using Catalyst and/or Catalyst/Flex in combination.
Thank you all for any insight or suggestions.
John

With the exception of making fre-form animations (like a cartoon for example), everything you can do in Flash can be done in Flex considerably faster.
The downside is that Flex applications (especially ones designed in Catalyst) are generally larger, and consume more memory. Personally, I never publish anything made in Catalyst without optimizing it in Flash Builder first.
If the drop in operating performance isn't a deal breaker (most of the time you can't even notice it), then I would certainly consider moving to Flex going forward on new projects.

TS4036 I deleted Pages from icloud on my iphone. the next time i was on my ipad it flashed and all of the files disappeared. did i deleted them from icould without realizing it? are they gone forever or is there a way to restore them?

I deleted Pages from icloud on my iphone. the next time i was on my ipad it flashed and all of the files disappeared. did i deleted them from icould without realizing it? are they gone forever or is there a way to restore them?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you mean you deleted the files from Pages on your phone whilst using iCloud, then yes they will disappear from Pages on your iPad too.
If you simply deleted the app from your phone, if you were using iCloud then they should not have disappeared from your iPad.
It's not clear from your post, which of these you did.
