Viewing flash based website in HTML component of AIR APP

Hello, I've got an air app where I'm trying to use the Html component to load up a flash website. Problem is that the website starts to load (I can see the preloader) and then the html component just goes blank. I wrote the html page I'm trying to load so I went in and did some trimming of javascript stuff that I didn't really need that I thought might be causing the issue, but, no dice. I'm also catch uncaughtScript errors from HTML, and there are none. Anybody have any ideas? The flash on the page that I'm loading only required flash player 8, so I'm thinking that shouldn't be an issue. The page I'm trying to load is www.socialsaga.com/air_index.php
Here is my little mxml file that won't properly display the site.
<mx:Panel title="Video Storage" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" enabled="true" visible="true" width="100%" height="650"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ public function showDOM(ev:Event = null):void { var indEv:Event = ev; } public function uncaughtException(ev:Event = null):void { var whatException:Event = ev; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:HTML uncaughtScriptException="uncaughtException()" htmlDOMInitialize="showDOM()" width="100%" height="100%" location="http://www.socialsaga.com/air_index.php" id="htmlOne"/> </mx:Panel>

That was a waste of a couple hours.... The reason it was not redering is because I had a glow filter effect on a parent
displayobject in the app... Really weird, cause html stuff would load, but flash would not show up.

How to view flash based website?

How to view flash based website?

Download an app from the AppStore called iSwifter. It is the best app that brings flash capabilities that I have come across. You can play games or watch live tv on it. Megavideo, Putlocker, etc.
Hope this helps.

How can I pubish SWF interactive magazine to flash based website? It's not working!

I hope someone can help me launch my first interactive magazine (SWF) to our website with ID 5. Okay, my hard copy mag came out great so then I started on the interactive edition. Everything was going swell with adding 3 short videos ( FLV ) and creating 3 slide shows. When I previewed it by exporting to SWF I could preview it in my browser fine. Page curls, fade in words (although the “hide until animated” options only works in two out of about 7 instances. (same settings) file:///C:/Users/lauralaptop/Documents/NEW%20PUBLICATION%20QUARTERLY%20JOURNAL%202011%20se pt%202/LIFE%20apr-may-june%202011%201st%20issue%20INTERACTIVE%20TRYOUT%20Aug%2031%204pm.ht ml
I then followed instructions from another Adobe exercise, exported it to Flash, went to Publish Settings, but of course when I pressed “publish” I didn’t get the same result as the teacher…I got an error message about text. I searched a forum with the same message I got and saw that making sure my text setting was set for Classic, solved someone else’s problem. So I did and was able to “publish”. But now, when I open either the SWF or HTML file, it’ just rapidly repeating the 12 pages in my file in a loop!

I have spent most of the summer self teaching myself InDesign CS5 (not easy!) and am excited to be able to put out an interactive SWF file that can be opened in a Flash player through our Flash based website. I feel like I’m just inches away for launch but now I’m getting frustrated. Isn’t this going to be possible?
Also, when I publish it in Flash, it creates a SWF file AND an HTML file. But on our website, I have only one option to make a link to a document OR an outside link to open a file. How does that work?
Many thanks for whoever can help me out here. This was supposed to be a spring issue. Had to change it to summer and now I guess it’s a fall launch!

Thank you for your quick reply, Rob. Well, i can't open the link you gave me to mysite (got a 404 error), could you resend it?
Originally, I exported the file to SWF (player) and just tried to link that file from our flash based website. It opens fine, page curls fine, slide shows fine, but when you click on the photos with videos, page 5 (father and baby) and two others, the image disappears and only a white comes up to fill that area.
http://scpres.org/#/media-sermons-online/our-publications. Could you go to this link on our website to see what I mean? Go to the NEWSBREAK TRANSFORMS and click on the Life, Stories of Transformation.
Rob, here is where i have very limited knowledge: As I said we use a flash based (read very user friendly) web hosting company. When I am in the back end to upload the swf file, I have only one option - "attach a video, attach a document, attach a link" so how would I upload a "folder" with more than one item to the server?
I thought it would be considered a video since the SWF file says SWF movie, but when I when i try to upload as a video, it doesn't come up as importable. (am i sounding really stupid?) Maybe I should admit that yes, I'm an ID5 newbie AND yes, I'm no spring chicken but I have been working in CS2,3,4 for several years and now 5 and am quite proficient in the create aspect of Adobe products. It's just now the technical part about how to actually get my in work published to the site.There isn't anyone else in my company able to help me so I have to reach out to this forum!
I love ID and this is just my first effort but I'm looking forward to creating many more interactive magazines for my company.
Thanks for any help.

Playing QuickTimes and Flash-based websites on iPhone

Hello ~
I am unable to watch QuickTime movies or look at Flash-based websites on my iPhone. Do I need to download something in order to do these things? I have seen others with iPhones that can...any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Quicktime is built into the OS of the phone and you should have no problems with .mov or .mp4 movies in the formats that the iPhone supports. Flash cannot be played on the phone at this time.
For more information on movie formats the phone supports, see:
http://support.apple.com/specs/iphone/iPhone.html
If properly formatted quicktime videos are not playing on the phone, try resetting the phone (top and home button until you see Apple logo).

How can OS X 10.3.9 users view Flash on websites?...

How can OS X 10.3.9 users view Flash on websites?...

I need to add one more thing for others who might benefit from the above note re Camino.
I also at the same time downloaded new plug ins from Adobe for Flash 9. There were two plugins which I deleted. One of the two new ones was of a later date, the other was the same as the one I deleted. So that might have helped change things.
So the summary of what fixed it for me is:
Latest version of Camino browser.
Latest version of Flash plug ins.
Also, after this, I could even use previously unusable services like Rhapsody, with Firefox, a browser that didn't work before.
So that may indicate that just the new Flash plugins did the trick. But not sure of that for reasons too lengthy to go into now. Try updating both and see. It worked for me, and that's after trying much stuff for a workaround.

Prevent show 'select download folder' dialog when click export csv button in a flash-based website

I want to download csv file from a flash-based website. When i click the button with export icon, Firefox always pop up dialog box with title 'select download folder for ...'. I have set up default download folder and uncheck 'always ask me where to save files'. If i download from other websites (not a flash one) then the download automatically started without pop up folder selection dialog. I want to prevent firefox from showing download folder selection dialog because i need to use it for web automation. by the way, i use ubuntu 12.04 with firefox 21.0. I have used flashgot extension but still no luck. Any suggestion about this?

I already have followed the instruction above, but still no luck. The dialog still appear. I think this is not a regular download link since it's made with flash. It's look like an export button which will force browser to pop up 'select folder location' dialog and when i click save then there is no download progress like usual, the file just saved automatically. I think the file itself is rendered when the flash website loaded, and then embeded into the web page. When i download, it didn't send any request, it just get the embeded file.

Could someprovide inputs to resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

HTML window in AIR app can't open new window

Hi, By allowing HTML content to be displayed inside our AIR app it's possible for our partner organization to write their own custom features hosted on HTML pages at their site, but for their content to appear integrated seamlessly within our AIR app's container so that it looks like it belongs there...
We've successfully got an HTML window within our AIR app that navigates to content in a sub-folder on a web-hosted domain. Content displays correctly and hyperlinks function within the HTML window as we'd expect apart from three scenarios that appear to be manifestations of the same problem:
A hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to a PDF stored on the web server has no action
A hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to a video file stored on the web server has no action
A hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to another site (target="_blank" parameter) has no action
All three hyperlink scenarios work as we'd wish if we navigate to the page in a standard browser.
How can we code the HTML so that we can display selected content in an HTML window inside the AIR app; but have selected hyperlinks invoke the user's standard web browser, or launch Adobe Reader, or play a video file etc?
Note, we understand how to do those things within AIR itself, but can't figure out how to achieve this from inside the HTML window in the app.

Hello,
As to "_blank" links:
this is long-standing lacking feature - as there is no introspection of event of such type - so it goes and could not be prevented. One could either handle all navigation with system browser (all links open in system external browser) or handle them in embedded browser - similar issue is bugging people using phoneGab with jQueryMobile - application eats all external links or none at all). There are solution for that including runtime introspection of DOM object to retrieve all anchor (a) tags in rendered document and attach custom click handler via host object like on complete:
var document:Object = html.htmlLoader.window.document;
if(!document && !document.hasOwnProperty("getElementsByTagName")) return;
var linksArray:Object = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
if(!linksArray) return;
var a:Object = null;
for(var i:Number = 0; i < linksArray.length; i++)
     a = linksArray[i];
     if(a)
          a.onclick = function(event:Object):Boolean
               if(event.target.hasOwnProperty("href") && event.target.hasOwnProperty("target"))
                    if(event.target.target != "_blank") return true;
                    flash.net.navigateToURL(new URLRequest(event.target.href));
               return false;
but if you have control on what content is provided you could take care of handling links depending on runtime feature detection that way in javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
     function handleClick(a)
          if(!window.runtime) return true;
          if(a.hasAttribute("target") && a.getAttribute("target") == "_blank")
               var href = a.getAttribute("href");
               var req = new window.runtime.flash.net.URLRequest(href);
               if(req) window.runtime.flash.net.navigateToURL(req);
          return false;
</script>
<a     href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/" target="_blank" onclick="handleClick(this);">BBC</a>
<br />
<a href="http://www.google.com/" onclick="handleClick(this);">Google</a>
(above could be scripted globally with help of jQuery for example for all links without much coding).
In 2.7 there is new event introduced to help with introspection so one could prevent event if link is internal and do whatever is expected in application:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filesystem/File.h tml
If you post some details on how PDF and video content is expected to be shown in html I'm sure someone would share some hints as well,

Flash Builder 4.7 won't debug air app on Android devices anymore

Hi there,
A strange thing happened today to my Flash Builer 4.7 installation on OS 10.8.5 : it suddenly refused installing and debugging AIR apps.
At -the famous- 57% of compilation completion I can see the "installing app on device" message, but nothing happens then, and the one minute connection to app timeout is finally triggered.
I had a look at other threads dealing with this problem here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1154269 and here http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/02/12/new-android-4-2-2-feature-usb-debug-whitelist-prev ents-adb-savvy-thieves-from-stealing-your-data-in-some-situations/ and I downloaded the latets Android SDK and replaced a bunch of files into the /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/sdks/4.6.0/lib/android/bin folder but nothing worked.
The fun side of the issue is that yesterday it worked, and this morning it did not worked anymore, but I swear I did not ugraded Android on my phone nor I upgraded AIR SDK in FLash Builder or OS X. The Android phone is the same as usual, a Nexus 4 with Android 4.3, that I upgraded 1 month ago.
I can't debug my Android app anymore, this drives me crazy, and I spent the day trying to find a solution.
Do you guys had a similar problem ?

My mistake...
There was a typo into the XML application descriptor, that prevented the app to install properly on the device.
Precisely, it wasn't a typo but raher a malformed <intent-filter> node. I launched adb tool from the console with adb install MyApp.apk command, and I saw this : Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED] in the terminal. From here it was easy to find the culprit.
What would be cool is to have this feature inside the Flash Builder's Console panel.

Can someone help me with getting ccbill's codes to work with a flash based website?

I have built a pay per view site entirely in flash. I set up the account with ccbill and they gave me the codes for the gallery buttons. The problem is the codes are 1. html and 2. there not url's. The picture galleries are in the same folder on the server as my html and swf files. Is there actionscript to get the ccbill codes to work? Here is one of the codes ccbill sent: <A HREF="http://www.lexiefyfe.com/ccbill9001/index.htm"><img src="ccbutton.jpg"></A>
Thanks for any consideration or help with this matter.

Hi Civilclerk1,
In order to achieve your requirement, we can try to use the following expression to instead the last_name column and first_name field:
last_name: =iif(Fields! staff_role.Value="Lead Atty" or Fields! staff_role.Value="BK Mgr" or Fields! staff_role.Value="Partner" ,Fields! last_name.Value,nothing)
first_name: =iif(Fields! staff_role.Value="Lead Atty" or Fields! staff_role.Value="BK Mgr" or Fields! staff_role.Value="Partner" ,Fields! first_name.Value,nothing)
Besides, if we don’t want see the blank row in the tablix, we can add a filter as below in the tablix:
Expression:=iif(Fields! staff_role.Value="Lead Atty" or Fields! staff_role.Value="BK Mgr" or Fields! staff_role.Value="Partner" ,1,0)
Operator:=
Value:=1
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
Thanks,

Can't view flash on websites without clicking on word flash

I am on a mac running snow leopard. I just downloaded flash player from Adobe. I installed. It's on my desktop. IF i go to any website that has a flash player image, all I see on the screen is a grey window with the word Flash. If i click on the word, then i see the flash, but it doesnt' happen automatically like it used to on my old g-5 mac.. Why?
also, I want the flash icon off my desktop, where can I put it, do I move it to applications folder?

Hi, you may want to read the system requirements for Flash Player to make sure your system is supported.
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/systemreqs/
This is the Mac Troubleshooting Guide that may help:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html
When you use the Flash Player Uninstaller(need to do) and Reboot(restart your computer) then you need to use the Flash Player Installer to Install it, then Reboot. Flash Player is a browser plugin and works thru your browser. It is not a standalone
Player.
I'm not that familiar with Mac, but the Flash Player icon may represent the Installer? Read the Troubleshooting Guide which may be helpful. I think you could use "Trash" to remove the icon? Not sure, just have read that somewhere.
Hope this helps.

Anyway to use Video Lightbox Output in a Flash-based website?

I use Video lightbox on my current site (For an example here is my page now - http://www.ruesterprod.com/video )
I am redesigning my website in Flash and I would like to make a Flash Gallery using the Video Lightbox elements (Thumbnail, jQuery loader, etc.)
How could I accomplish this?
Thanks All,
Aza

You can use the entire Video lightbox as is by stacking it in a separte <div> container over the top of the other Flash content on the page.
The stacking process is a common practice in HTML and is called z-indexing.
Leave a blank spot in your .fla in exactly the spot you want the video gallery. Place your .swf on the Web page as you normally would. Now there will be a blank spot where the video gallery will go.
Then using z-indexing and CSS positioning, place the video gallery in it's own <div> container stacked over the top of the Flash content. This will make it look like the video gallery is a part of the Flash background.
Here is a working example... the Vimeo player is layered over the Flash background:

Flash based website.. stage/background resize to fit browser?

Hi,
I've built a pretty basic portfolio-style website using Flash and Actionscript 3. All is functioning well, with the exception of stage size vs. browser size. Basically, I want the stage/background image to resize to fit the stage, while having the main content stay fixed in the middle. What is the easiest way to go about doing this? Also, if at all possible, a step-by-step guide would be amazing since I'm pretty new to AS3/coding in general.
Thanks so much!

That helps with it resize with the browser, but there is still a considerable gap on either side of the background(striped) image. I know I can handle the top/bottom gap with a little CSS, but how do I make the background stretch all the way left and right? I think even tiling it might work fine, but I'm still unsure of how do do that.
I've attached a screen cap of what's seen in the browser preview.
