Using Windows buttons to control Flash

I'm writing a WIndows application that embeds Flash which I would like to control through the Windows buttons - for example start, stop... What tools do I need to do this and where can I get the info on how to make it happen? This is not a web app.
Thank in advance.

So what are you using to build the app? VB or what?
and how are you "embedding" Flash?

Using windows 8 install adobe flash player. Immeadiateley on start up I get error msg : 0x71090000

using windows 8 install adobe flash player(new notebook). Immeadiateley on start up I get error msg : the instructions at 0x71090000 referenced memory at 0x71090000. the memory could not be written. click to terminate program.
No matter what I do, the error msg keeps opening a dialog box with the above msg. The only way I found to get rid of the error msg is to uninstall the flash player program. I have tried several times to install and it doesn't work.
I found that I am unable to listen to internet radio, web pages pop up flash error msg.
Any help.

Problem in stretching video using windows media player control

Hello
I am using windows media player 9 and set the stretchtofit property to true.But when I play a video of size 256X192 on a window media control player whose width and height is set to 640 and 384 respectively I find black areas on left and right side of video.My system has windows 2000 and is set to 1280X720 resolution.I am using labview 7.0.
If anybody encountered the same problem or any suggestion please help to solve the problem.

Are you sure that this property means that the image is "stretched"? It might mean that if the video size is X and the control's size is 2X, the picture will be stretched to fit the control without losing the aspect ratio. I know that the regular WMP does not stretch images. You can easily test this by playing a file smaller than the control and setting the property to F. You can also search google\Microsoft for the WMP SDK.

I guess the doohickey is no longer connected to the whatchamacallit.
Your time would probably be better spent playing detective and trying to figure out what happened to make it get to that state. Does this VI read any sensors or equipment? Maybe the equipment is turned off, causing the VI to become non-responsive until the timeout (and you were just never patient enough for it to reach the timeout before aborting?) It's probably not a LabVIEW issue, but to be safe, check the dates on the files to make sure no one was futzing with it.

How can I use 3 buttons to control the transitions of my case structure?

Hi everyone,
Hopefully this will be an easy fix... Although I cannot seem to work it out??
I am building a state machine inside a while-loop with the following states:
1. System idle.
2. Self-cal pci card.
3. Run DAQ and do my processing.
4. Stop the vi.
I can do this using a enum no problems (with state 1. System idle as the initialising state for the while-loop)... But I really want to have is 4 buttons on the front panel, one for each of the 4 states, so that all the user needs to do is press the button corresponding to the state they want and the appropriate transition ocurrs... For example, when the vi first runs, the idle state is operating... When the user is ready can then hit button 2 for a self-cal... Is self-cal is ok, they hit button 3 for DAQ... Once the DAQ is finished the user can hit button 4 to stop the vi..
My problem is that I need the current button to unlatch when another button is hit...
Any suggestions?... This is killing me!
Thanks,
Jack
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here's what I had in mind. You can easily add conditions so code only executes once after a control change, for example.

Exception in FLASH.OCX using Windows 8.1, latest Flash Version

I have many problems using the latest Flash Version 13.0.0.182. My applications use an embedded version of IExplorer 11 and use OSMF to display P2P Streams. If buffering starts, an exception is thrown and my app crashes with the message "Exception 000000 in FLASH.OCX". This only happens under Windows 8.1 (64 Bit) with latest Flash Version 13.0.0.182, embedded Version. If i call the URL directly into IE, it works.
- Older Versions works fine
- On other Windows (Windows 7...) is works fine

Open entry in bugbase #3744747 (https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3744747)
Start EXE (Src is included), navigate to http://www.osmf.org/dev/1.5gm/embed.html?favorFlashOverHtml5Video=false will crash the application
Crash Dump is not available (because of my own EXE, not IE), no dump file in Dump-Folder.

Firefox will not open even after update or in safe mode using windows button + R

Tried solitions given on site using IE. Firefox will not start at all, did latest update and tried safe mode start.
Only get box stating it has encounterd a problem and crashed. I only use firefox and have so many bookmarks I really don't want to uninstall and start over.

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

I use the latest Firefox 13.0.1. I'm using Windows 7. After a day I updated my Adobe Flash Player, suddenly it crashed and showed a blue screen. Please help me.

My Firefox version is 13.0.1. I'm using Windows 7. Adobe Flash Player version is 11.3.300.265. A few minutes after opened the Firefox, suddenly it crashed and a blue screen showed up, it says there are unexpected error occured and forced my computer to be stopped. I need to restart the computer to see either it still show the blue screen or it just fine. After restarted, I use the Firefox once again, but this time, after about 30 minutes, it crashed again. The same blue screen showed up. As I expected, the new Adobe Flash Update crashes with the Firefox 13.0.1. Really need a solution here. Thank you.

Hi,
Blue screens usually indicate Windows system level problems involving device drivers like graphics card drivers, hardware errors (RAM, hard drive) etc. Malware may also cause this. Searching for the displayed error code would usually provide helpful pointers. The [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us Windows forum] would also be helpful.

Need ONE Button That Controls Audio/Caption for Multiple Movies

Captiate Version: 3
Flash Version: 9
We created an online course using Captivate 3. The shell is HTML and the captivate (.swf) is embeded to show the content. Because the content inside the captivate movies were too large we had to break up the course into separate pages for loading purposes.
For example:
HTML Page            Captivate File
page001.html         page001.swf
page003.html         page003.swf
page004.html         page004.swf
Now we need a way to use ONE Button to control the Audio/Caption for ALL the movies. The button would be included seperately in the HTML shell along with Captivate movie.
Is this possible? If so please let us know in detail how?
We're open to other ideas. We are somewhat familar with using Captivate variables ect is required.

You can control Captivate SWFs via JavaScript using the CaptivateController. It allows you to control all the standard Captivate variables from HTML.

flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser? It is already installed, I just don't use it. I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it? If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

Just reinstalled newest iTunes and still the program fails to open. Am using Windows 7 starter. It seems that the failure to open iTunes happened just after I updated to the latest flash player. Don't know if that has anything to do with it.

iTunes will not open. I am using Windows 7, and have had no trouble with iTunes until yesterday. The only think I did yesterday was install an upgrade to the latest Flash player. From then on, even after deleting and reinstalling iTunes, it still does NOTHING after the screen authorizing iTunes to make changes to the hard drive. I have tried going to the applications and ending process. I've also tried going to Control panel - and tried to repair the program.
If I don't get some help here... iTunes is toast to me.
Thanks,
GaryFromSeffner

Invisible Text in Flash Player Using Windows XP

I seem to have a problem with the Flash Player and invisible text. The Flash Player will load but there will be some buttons that are not labeled with text, so you don’t know what the buttons are, fill-in text boxes that have no text or text description, so you don’t know what to type in them, and drop-down lists that are blank, but there is supposed to be text to select from.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling FireFox, that did nothing; unistalled the Shockwave Flash Plug-in and reinstalled it, that did nothing; unistalled Flash and Shockwave standalone Players entirely, leaving only the Plug-in, nothing; uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player standalone, nothing there either. I cannot seem to find a solution and every browser I have, the same problem occurs – invisible text.
I was reading on the Adobe Forum that there is this same issue sometimes with Mac and that the problem seems to be font incompatibility.
This happens with any browser I use – Firefox, Flock, PaleMoon, IE, Opera, Netscape.
My OS is Windows XP Home Edition
Main browser is FireFox version 3.6.17
Shockwave Flash Plug-in version is 10.3.183.7
I also have the Shockwave Player standalone version 11.6.1.629
Has anyone, using Windows, had this same problem? Is there any solution?
Thanks for any advice.

Invisible text in Flash enabled web pages is a frustrating problem that is affecting Mac Users who play Farm Town (8.5+ million people on FaceBook) and probably many other games too. See this forum as an example of the problem: http://slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2531318
Before even reading this forum I did everything that appears here with no success and then everything listed in the referenced forum (above) with no success... but the following did fix the invisible text problem and I hope that it will help others too.
1. Drag the Font folder from the User directory to the trash ie. ~/Library/Fonts. (where ~ is = your User Account Name.)
Be careful; this is NOT the Font folder in the main library.
2. Download Font Finagler v1.5 beta for Mac OS 6, and clean the font cashe files following the instructions for this free shareware app.
http://homepage.mac.com/mdouma46/fontfinagler/
3. Open the Font Book app which is a new app that is included with the Mac OS Snow Leopard (10.6). (Font Book is in the Applications folder.) Read the Help info for this app and then: Choose "All Fonts" in the left column and then choose "Select Duplicate Fonts" from the Edit menu. Disable or delete all duplicate fonts that this process identifies. After dealing with the duplicate fonts, select "All Fonts" again in the left column and choose "Validate Fonts" from the File Menu. Deal with the results that it will display using the help file for guidance. Interestingly, in my case there were no corrupt fonts in my Mac system, but the validation process identified more duplicate fonts that the previous step did not find. Again deal with the findings and disable or delete the duplicate fonts.
4. Reboot your Mac and get on with using your Flash enabled web pages. Duplicate fonts seems to be the problem that cause invisible text in Flash enabled web pages.
Hope this helps you... it worked for me.

I need to control flash button states within html

I am utilizing a flash header for navigation on a site built
in html. I need to control the button states in my flash header
from within my html page to facilitate breadcrumbs. The header
works in a similar manner to an expandable banner. The sub menu
expands over the html page. However, I cannot figure out how to get
the primary navigation buttons in the flash header to stay in the
"hit state" so that the user knows which section of the site they
are in.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

You will want to use movieclips as buttons so that you can
control what state they are in by code.
As far as using the html to set the state, you could devise a
scheme using FlashVars, which get designated in the embedding code
of the html page.
Assuming you are not using frames, and the flash is reloaded
for each page that you navigate to, then you will have adjust the
FlashVars code to reflect the relevant page's button.

Notice that the All button is selected.
Here's the PDF
Notice the 1/5 at the top indicating a 5 page PDF.

How do I go back to my old version of Firefox. 4 does not allow me to use two finger mousepad control to expand or contract my screen. Also I don't like the lack of a drop-down arrow next to the back/forward buttons.

I don't like to have to click and drag to see the drop down history of the back/forward buttons - this requires two fingers or a double tap and hold finger motion. MUCH easier to click and release and take my time to pick the screen I want to go back to, then click on that link with a separate motion.
I especially don't like that I can no longer expand and contract the screen with two finger motion on my mousepad!!!
Generally, I don't see any advantage to the new layout - and I have a slight preference to having my tabs closer to the screen rather than above the address bar, since I more frequently click on tabs than on the address bar. If you want to improve the view I would recommend combining the very topmost bar which is part of the window surround with the File Edit etc bar (and please keep File, Edit, View History, etc separated instead of putting them into a dropdown). This will allow the viewer one more line of text on a given webpage, and eliminate the wasted space which is only used to identify the window as FF and provide the close window buttons
PLEASE help me go back to the old version. It was perfect.

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
