Viewing Flash Applications on a Mac: stage.stageWidth/stage.stageHeight Return 0 in Firefox/IE

I am using SWFOBJECT to embed my flash content.
I have been worried about stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight returning 0 in Firefox/Internet Explorer; this problem is referred to in question #21 on the SWFOBJECT FAQ (http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/faq).
I have been told that this problem is particularly prevelant on Macs.
The SWFOBJECT FAQ (question 21) indirectly suggests that this problem does not occur with static publishing. Is this correct? Is it still advisable to implement a solution to this stageWidth/stageHeight problem, even if you are using static publishing?
Thank you.

In order to target iPhone 5 you need to use AIR 3.5 beta or AIR 3.4
pointing to iOS 6 SDK. Be sure to include the [email protected] to
trigger the iPhone 5 size. In other words, the app has to be built
targeting the iOS 6 SDK and have the new default png to trigger the full
size on the iPhone 5.
AIR 3.5 beta includes the bits that to target iOS 6 SDK, but you can
target iOS 6 with AIR 3.4 by using the external SDK path in the package

No sound in browser when viewing flash applications

Hey people, I hope someone can help me...
I have no sound on anything related to flash when viewing
pages online. Flash games or movies (for example) play the video
just fine, but no sound. This has been happening for a few days and
I can't recall anything I did to trigger this.
I am running windows xp home edition, sound card drivers are
all updated, no viruses or spyware, and I have uninstalled and
reinstalled flash player, shockwave player and quicktime a few
times to no avail.
Seems I have done everything in my power to find out what is
wrong, and nothing seems to work. All of my volume control settings
are unmuted and turned up full...
Help?

Flash Application for Mac won't open from DVD disc

I've created a Flash application for a Mac and I have the latest security fix/update for Flash (that was supposed to fix Flash Players and etc.). I've burned the file onto a CD and a DVD. The file plays/opens from the CD but it won't play from the DVD.
Has anyone run into this before?

Well I found some sort of solution. I was burning both discs from a PC. I finally burned the DVD from a Mac and now it works!

Viewing Flash movies w/ v.9 player crashes

Has anyone had any problem viewing flash movies on a Mac with
the newest v.9 player? All our Mac's with the v.9 flash player take
an extra 11-12 seconds to show up and have a tendency to crash our
browsers. But viewing the exact same movie on the exact same
computer with the v.8 player they work just fine. I've tried it on
all our Mac's running different OS... both Power PC and Intell...
different browsers and I am getting the same result. Flash 9 takes
longer to load in and crashes the browser but 8 works just fine.
However on a PC it works just fine with the v.9 player. I use
Influxis and talked to them today...they can't seem to figure it
out and are having their mac guy look into it for me. Thought I'd
see if anyone else has had this problem. On a side note I like to
listen to BBC Radio 1 and that site crashes on me all the time. But
never happened before I installed the v.9 player. Did a little
digging and found other people having the same problem. They say it
has something to do with the banner ad's/video's being export to
Flash 9.
If anyone has any ideas...please help me out. Below are a
couple of links. The second one is a test Influxis set up as a test
while I was on the phone with them. It uses a simple NetConnection
with no player component. Both work great on all out Mac's with the
v.8 player but not with the v.9.

Here's an experiment I want you to try.
Go to: [User]/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles (hold the "Option" key when clicking "Go" from the Finder menu to access your [User] Library)
Copy the "default" profile folder from there to ANYWHERE other than the Firefox folder (a Flash Drive preferably, so you can remove it)
Trash the "default" profile folder and empty the trash.
Relaunch Firefox.
Go to YouTube and play ANY video there.
If prompted to install Flash Player again do so.
Let us know if that changes anything.

Built-in iSight produces heavy load (Tiger) using flash applications

On my MacBook the built-in iSight produces a heavy processor load when the camera is used in a flash application and the skype viedo beta.
The load is about 120% in Firefox, Safari and Skype, when the application connects to the iSight camera. In other applications (iChat, photoBooth) I don't have that problem. Under Windows, the same application in the same Browser (Firefox) works just fine with round about 11% processor load.
Does anyone else has this problem (maybe in other applications) ??

I like the idea to put a camera in the computer.
I have not seriously used a macintosh since 1992, when I was in 2nd grade. Ever since I tinkered on my dad's mac now and then when he was not looking. But, I need to know where in the settings do I go to enable the built-in iSight camera to work on the web or any flash application

Link to Flash application from PDF not working on a Mac

I'm creating a PDF using Acrobat. I have 2 links that should open up a separate Flash application. When I try clicking on them in Adobe Reader on a Mac, I get an error message saying "could not find an application to open the file 'xxxxx'. I can navigate to the file directly in a finder window, and the Flash application opens up just fine. I also created a PC version of this same PDF that points to Flash executables, and those links work fine as well. Any ideas any one? Thanks in advance!

Under the "Library Log" where is says Flash Player Intall Manager: Unable to execute privilage task.
What does that mean?

I have scenario here : I am running my flex application in my Mac 10.8 machine with Flash player 12 on Safari browser . I have a registration form and it is validating various fields in it and when I hit Continue button it is not navigating to the next screen even if all the fields are validated. This registration form is a Popup. Can any body help me with this?

No, the problem still occurs.
It's weird there are no plug-in errors or something.

Flash is updated but flash applications don't work when viewed in Firefox, while they work in IE

in several applications, there is a flash application that doesn't work -- flash movies don't play, etc. I checked Tools and it tells me that Flash is loaded and current. I'm stumped. This is a brand new computer.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_plugins
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

PDF opening in a macromedia flash application

Hello,
Im not a mac user, but we use mac in our company.
Im a webdesigner, working on windows XP, using macromedia flash (in this case Flash MX).
My problem is, we build applications on dvd and cd's and we are trying to make them usable on macOS, besides Linux and windows.
Things were working fine, till MacOS 10...
The problem is, that in some applications we use pdf files that are on the cd's or dvd's, that are not opening anymore in those OS version's 10..., we use a command in flash (actionScript) that is: getURL (....path.pdf).
It worked really good in the ealier OS's from Mac, now when we click on the link, it open Safari, with the default page it uses.
Anyone has any idea about why it happens?
Im sorry my english, not my native language, and thank you very much in advance for your time.
Hugo

Hello again,
I've tried install FireFox on the Mac, and PDF Browser viewer plugin, and selected FireFox to open by default the pdf's files, it happen's the same, it opens FireFox with his default page, no pdf from the cd...
Im affraid that the cd's and DVD's with Flash applications with Pdf's files will not be able to open on Mac's with OS 10....
The application works really good on Linux and Windows platforms.
Thanks

Stage.stageWidth in Percent not Pixels

Hi All,
I am trying to set masks and other component positions in relation to Stage size.
AS3 CS5
I trace stage.stageWidth on a 800x600 pixel stage and I get - 100
My stage will scale within a Director piece.
Is this a bug? Modal condition? Releated to scaling??
Thanks,
Jim

Now this is interesting.
stop();
trace ("The Stage width is " + root.stage.stageWidth);
trace ("The Stage height is " + this.stage.stageHeight);
var temp:Number = new Number();
temp = stage.width;
trace(temp);
The first time I run the swf-compile (ctrl-Enter) - It Output the following:
Page1 is now loaded
The Stage width is 100
The Stage height is 100
0
While the SWF is still selected (being viewed) I hit ctrl-Enter again and I get this add to it:
Page1 is now loaded
The Stage width is 1874
The Stage height is 763
0
This is the size of my stage window in the FLA development window.
I drag it out of the projects bar to be an independent window and it gives me what I expected:
Page1 is now loaded
The Stage width is 800
The Stage height is 600
0
Note I can make the window any size and I get the same right -expected - answer, except when it overlaps other Flash dev. window objects or a display border.
food for thought,
Jim

Issue with MozillaFirefox browser and Flash application

Hi all,
             I am new to Flash and ActionScript 3.0.
             I have created a new flash application and executed it(.swf file has obtained). But, now I need to display the contents of .swf file(i.e., output of my application) in a browser window.
             So, the issue is: When I open flash application in InternetExplorer browser window, then the application/.swf file opens fine. But, it is not working well when open it in MozillaFirefox browser window.
   Please, can anyone help me in this context.
Thanks in advance. Reply me as soon as possible.......

Hi Cyboide,
               Actually, I am new to Flash platform. I have developed a flash file and (.fla and .swf files are created) this .swf file I need to use within our project(based on Java) which is to be run in localhost. So, I had followed these steps as I saw in Google Help:
1.) I had opened .fla file(First.fla) and goto File -> PublishSettings -> Formats tab.
2.) In this tab, I had selected .html and .swf checkboxes and deselected remaining all.
3.) Click on "Publish" button and then "OK" button.
So, a html file with same name as that of .fla/.swf file is created in the same folder beside thes .fla and .swf files.
I think it is clear upto this point.
                 Now,
                            If I open my .swf file simply in a browser window(Mozilla), I can view the contents. But, the Buttons, checkboxes, Combo-boxes etc., controls have no access(i.e., any animation, tweening works well but there is no user interaction).
                           Else, When I open my project in localhost(Java project), here somewhere i call my flash file(i.e.,First.swf file). But, the contents of .swf file are not viewed in the case of Mozilla Firefox. But, it works well in InternetExplorer browser including my whole project(i.e., all localhost). Hence, no problems when opened in IE.
Please reply me as soon as possible. It is the only issue to end up my project.
Waiting for replies.....
thanks a lot in advance..
