User control over Flash content?

Speaking strictly as a user, I want better control over Flash content. I am tired of Flash-based movies automatically playing just because I visit a web site - especially with audio enabled. I want to be able to configure my browser so that Flash content cannot automatically start. I don't want to disable Flash entirely, I just want to be in control (regardless of the web site developer's intentions). Is this possible? If I desire to view the animation, I will intiate playback myself.

There are a few widget libraries out there. Google for Synclast or J2ME Polish.

User controls in FLASH CS5

Hi
I need to add some user controls to a FLASH project im working on and dont know where to start ?? Im designing a visual map, so it needs a play/stop, forward and back controls, is this possible ??
Thanks

Unfortunately you didn't explain what you want and haven't explain your design at all. Google is usually your best bet for finding anything you want to do with Flash. Just use terms that are directly related to what you want to find, such as "AS3 play controls tutorial"... though that's likely not going to gain you much, but try starting there and change the terms to see what gets closer to your goal.

User Control using flash

Hello,
I am new in adobe technology. Our company is on feasibility study about user control development using flash for our application. Now I am exploring flash builder and action script. I dont know about that i am on the right choice. I saw lot of controls using flash we are using some controls. My question is that , Is flash builder is using to develop user controls for web applications.
With thanks and regards

Ps CS6 Request: User control over display quality versus performance (modified request)

It would be great if there was user control of the zoom threshold at which display quality is sacrificed for performance.
I mean the threshold which determines the maintaining of bit-depth in the calculation of the composite which is displayed when working with 16-bit documents, and the accuracy of displayed layer effects in documents with any bit-depth.
The threshold currently seems to be approx 64% zoom - not much of a zoom out when dealing with large images destined for print.
Please provide a control for that threshold in Preferences > Performance.

Thank you for posting, conroy. I have an example of the inconvenient effects of Photoshop CS6 allowing the zoomed-out composite to be innaccurate.
Here's a real-world application for everyone to see.
In my below example you're not seeing a 16-bit doc, just 8-bit, BTW.
Top C has Layer Styles. Bottom C is a copy that's been merged with a blank layer, to effectively "collapse" it's Layer Styles into a normal single pixel layer.
The difference is staggering. This file is a massize 28x36 300DPI (8,400px X 10,800px) poster.
So on something like this, while working and tweaking everything you work worked zoomed out so you see enough of the document to be able monitor it's evolution.
I was working at 25% zoom (depisted above) for a quite a while. Got everything good, but then zoomed in only to see that each letter actually looked like pretty bad compared to what the zoomed composite was telling me.
I had to revise all letters.
For hi-res print I guess I better get used to zooming in and out constantly, so I know what to trust.
I wonder if this issue will ever be rectified. Like Conroy suggests, maybe a setting that allows users to voluntarily sacrifice performance in favor of a more accurate composite?

User control over canvas

hello any one tried making a user control eg a textbox on a canvas (low level API), this purpose is to use it in a GUI custom application ,
what concerns me is a event model , Does one have to design a container for these lowlevel componets on a canvas , if yes , how can one do it, Any Design ?

User control over Flex availability in the Browser?

Hi all,
New guy to this Flex development. Basic question, I hope.
Comparing Flex to JavaScript, can the user selectively disable Flex in the browser? It would seem a lot of headaches with JavaScript is dealing with this configurable option (I've historically avoided client side scripting because of this concern). I would assume the plugin could be removed and/or disabled? If so, is there an "agreed to" response under such a condition?
thanks!
Karl

Yea
When you launch a flex app the html template that holds the swf has a place in it that says 'Flash player required download' and 'Place alternative HTML content here' if no player is detected.
You can put alterative instrucation in here.
There are a few ways and an offical Adobe kit around for detecting flash player versions, and most of these use javascript.
The thing is I weigh it up when it comes to developing an app and Flex is my choice. I like working on the flash platform. I think the biggest bonus is that whatever you do in Flash / Flex its gonna work across all browsers on all platforms. And now with AIR you can also deploy these as desktop apps across all platforms.
My biggest niggle with javascript, css etc, was that different browser seem to treat bits differently. I end up doing hacks ansd workarounds, and usually for the sake of getting it to work in I.E.
Yea server side is your definite way rendering HTML to make sure everyone gets it. However if your taking Rich Internet App, then thats not gonna provide the tools. I;d say when it comes to client side code Flex is tops for me. And one big thing is that Flash has been around for over 10 years and according to the stats installed on 98% on internet connected machines. Thats gotta be good.
Thats just my opinion, but if your client side coding, its Flex for me.

Login/Logout sync with user control over folders to sync

We have a user who needs modify the folders that are synced periodically.
The user has multiple computers that they keep synced with OS X Server 10.4.10.
We turned background sync to unmanaged and they are able to modify their settings and left login/logoff sync as managed. Any time they login/logoff auto sync does not occur.
How do we configure their settings so that they can adjust the folders that get synced and still have auto sync at login/logoff?

Not even sure you can do this but you might look for Login/Logout Hooks that can perform the action your looking to do. There would have to be a way to shell-script the Sync part of RHD which I'm not sure you can.
On the Server Side you can control what get auto synced and what does not in WGM. Then you just set it all to auto on login/logout.

User control over font size?

I wonder if there is a way the user can control the font size
in the .chm file from the viewer. I know you can go to your
internet browser and change the font size there, but this is a bit
convoluted. Is there a control available in the chm viewer that I
am missing?

Hi Margaret
Indeed you may add a Font button to the .CHM viewer.
Unfortunately, RoboHelp doesn't expose a method to do it easily.
You would have to do it by compiling using Microsoft HTML Help
Workshop.
Here is a link to a page explaining it.
Click
here and read all about it
I'm not sure if CSS font sizes will override this or not.
Additionally, you may wish to try pressing and holding the Alt key
while rolling the mouse wheel (if you have one) as this sometimes
changes the font.
Cheers... Rick

Is there any way to make flash for android in firefox "lock-in", that is control the flash content, not move the page when moving my fingers?

Is there any user control on the iphone anymore?

Ok so I hate the new OS 7 but before you write me off as just complaining please read further:
I have a very hard time reading the phone because of the white backgrounds on everything , I understand some like this. Is there any way to change this?
I also can't read my text very well because of the white on green text bubbles ... Any way to change this?
Can someone please tell me what apple really did to enhance the user experience? And what is an important feature they have added to the new OS that really stands out over the 6 aside from the horrible layout change? I read what they said the new features were and I didn't see anything that wasn't just a cheap trick. Maybe someone can show me something that will revive some bit of like into the phone again?
But back to the settings change. I went to accessibility and upped the contrast and bolt text but that only helps slightly . I inverted the colors and thought awesome but then realized it inverts everything so that won't work. I could deal with black back grounds on everything .
Any help please ? I'm not made of money so I'm stuck with the 5 for a few weeks at least. Every time I use the phone it angers me so it's not a very pleasant experience !!!
Some people really have issues with the eyes and I just want to have a little control over the look of the phone. Really not digging the way it's swiped to delete now and the way they have the search and control panel I can't get a good swipe on those to save my life. Hate is a good word right now.

Those minimal changes do nothing that I asked. I'm not sure why you linked that. I have read the very simplistic, almost null, options of the ios7 . I appreciate the attempt to help. It seems that the answer is NO, there is no user control over the new layout.
My ultimate answer to gaining user control over their phone is to sell the iPhone and buy a galaxy .

"Allow Third-Party Flash Content to Store" possible as a Linux user?

Hello,
is it possible to activative the option "Allow Third-Party
Flash Content to Store" on the "Global Storage Settings" panel if
you are starting a webbrowser as a normal user under Linux? At the
moment it is only possible for me if I start my Firefox (or Opera,
Konqueror) with root priviileges. Do I have to change the rights of
a certain folder or something like that?
The reason why I ask is that I noticed that you can activate
sound in YouTube Videos only if you activate Flash Cookies.
My Flash Player version is the current one, version 9. I use
Kubuntu 7.10, if it is of any importance.
Thanks for any help
UltraBreyten

OK, I solved it. There is a hidden .macromedia folder in the
home folder, where the youtube sound settings are stored.
Everything in the macromedia folder was set as root. I simply
deleted the .macromedia folder, it was recreated with user rights
when I came back to youtube.

One Domain user have problem seeing flash Content.

Hallo.
Im a IT student in a small company (around 100 domain users). We are using windows 7 and the latest Flash version (12.0.0.38). We are using Internet explore 11.
All the users in our domain have same rights. But one of them have a flash problem. He cant see flash on his userprofile. It prompt him with the message "You need to install flash version 10.1 or higher.....". I tried all kind of stuff and fixes from your forum. Registry, clear Internet explore cashe, Settings updating internet explore, downgrading it. uninstalling/installing flash like 10 times, but nothing seems to work. Mozilla dont work either, the only way he can see flash content is from Google Chrome browser, and we dont support that.
If i open Internet Explore as administrator its fine, so the computer know its there, but something is blocking flash or something for him as a user.
"His" the only problem. Any idea?
thanks

If he's sending to users in the same Exchange organization and having this issue, I suggest checking to see if he's configured as an IAMP or POP connection in Outlook. Internal delivery should never be marked as spam. If he does have an IMAP
or POP connection, change it to an Exchange connection, preferably on cached mode.
If it's to external recipients, though, the recipient will need to add this person's address to their trusted senders list. The sending organization can't change how a receiving organization is going to handle their email.

Time pattern to allow user breakthrough URLFilter over IOS content filtering

hi
i have a client did request me to create such thing for them over IOS content filtering + Trend Micro based subscrition (till this level i'm pretty not sure it is feasible or what)
scenario would be:
like group 1 of users are the martketing subnet, then setting the time from 0800 hour to 1700 hour are prohibited to access any of the block blackilist site (either from local and/or trend micro reputation / category blacklist URL)
is there any way round i can enable the router to recognize the time then let user to gain access after 1700 hour?
Can TCL do this? any other way round for this
thank you
Noel

Hi Carlos,
I am having the same problem. I have seen a few diffenent configuration examples and they all show adding the "parameter type urlfpolicy trend parm-map-name" command but it doesn't exist, at least in 15.2(3)T1 and I see it listed in the the IOS documentation for 15.2. Maybe they forgot it :-)
I guess I will open a TAC case as I do not want to downgrade...
I will keep you posted if I find the answer.
Regards,
Troy

Capture a user's mouse control over the player

There is video streaming using RTP to the QuickTime viewer in a web page
The major issue is that the z-index of the player seems to be infinite, not allowing mouse events to be captured over the top of the player
Is there anyway to get around this? I'd like to use javascript to *capture a user's mouse control over the player if possible.*

mgulesian, you might want to query the system properties.
System.getProperty("user.name")Please note that this property is subject of security constraints (and there're good reasons for this, read the Java Tutorial, Trail: Essential Java Classes, Lesson: Accessing System Resources for details). For example, web applications running inside Tomcat are not allowed to query this property by default. Think twice before doing this, you have been warned!
