Is it possible to overlay graphics over a windows application in flash?

Good day everyone,
I was wondering if it is at all possible to overlay graphics from flash over a windows application. I know this can be done using some other languages and tools but since actionscript is the language I know best, I thought I would ask here to see if it was possible.
What I am trying to do is make a button that will pop up and sit on top of a running windows program. I know that usually in a flash project there is a stage inside of a window and that's what you have to work with but I was thinking there could be a way to remove the window border and make the background invisible and only leave the graphic that I want to show and bring it up to the front of the screen.
Also as a side question, is there a way to record frames from your flash project and export that as an mp4 or some other video file type?
Any help with either of these question would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for any help you are willing to provide.

Thanks for the answer. For the button I was able to create an Adobe Air project, go into the xml file and change systemChrome to none (<systemChrome>none</systemChrome>) and transparent to true (<transparent>true</transparent>). This made the entire window invisible except for any objects on the stage.
Now as for the video, this isn't quite the solution I was looking for. My application will take some string from a file and translate them into actions to be displayed. You will be able to pick a file and watch the actions happen inside the flash player. But, if the user would like to keep this set of actions for later and turn it into video, I would like them to be able to do it straight from flash. I guess it would depend on how I set up the playback of the translated actions

1. Install Adobe Flash Player from Adobe site.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
   Download it first. Click Safari in the menubar and select “Quit Safari”.
    Follow the prompts and install it.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.

Ya i googled it and came up with many results, I was
just wondering if anyone thought one was better than
othersAh.
Well, it would have been good if you'd stated that in the first place. That might have engendered some discussion.
Better still would be if you tried out two or three of them, formed your own opinion, then posted that here and asked if other had similar experiences, or if there were any major issues that you might have missed in your testing, etc.

The Error Message 'Application descriptor file cannot be parsed' shows when compiling (Ctrl + Enter) Adobe AIR for Android applications on Flash Professional CS5.5

The Error Message 'Application descriptor file cannot be parsed' shows when compiling (Ctrl + Enter) Adobe AIR for Android applications on Flash Professional CS5.5
This is happening for most of the pupils and staff at our school and they are unable to complete their work.
This also happens on a fresh copy of windows and CS5.5 without any updates and also with all latest updates.
I have tried it on 32-bit and 64-bit CS5, Windows, Air and Java with the same error every time.
There are a small minority of users where this works fine for them with no issue.
I have tried re-setting user profiles.
I have tried a local admin and domain admin account with the same issue
I have noticed however that if the file is moved to the shared area it will compile. If it is on their documents area it will not compile. The users have full control in both locations. This is fine for staff but we are unable to give full control or modify access to the shared area for the pupil's
I have been through the online support section and it directed me to phone Adobe Customer care who informed me that all support has been discontinued for CS5, CS5.5 and CS6 and they will only support creative cloud.
Any ideas what to try next? There is no other information about this error and I cannot work out what is causing it.

I have tried and able to package an apk using your XML file.Could you please make sure your XML file starting from line 1 and coloumn 0.Any space will results in the error (Application Descriptor file cannot be parsed)

This has been happening on my new machine when i work in Flash Pro CS5.5 - a part of CS5.5 Classic Collection, when i make animations using drawing and various other tools, specifically, when i do things quickly.
i mean that literally; when i select a keyframe, deselect deselect it, reselect, right-click, delete, do these quicly, sometimes it will happen when i go to save my work after having made many changes to it, then Flash will crash i.e. the cursor spins, the the interface is dimmed, and then all my internet browswers dim including windows browswers, the task bar disappears, Start menu disappears - i cant shutdown, so i hit the restart btn on my tower, but Windows doesnt load, rather i get a black screen asking me to insert a media disc, if i dont and restart by hitting the button on the tower, i get the black screen asking for a media disc, which i do, i insert the Windows installation cd in my optical drive, go to the Repair tools, and use the Shutdown btn there. This is the only way to get my machine out of the loop, to recover, and Windows starts normally.
Because the crash was happening when i work fast, i was wondering if it's to do with a memory issue, and BTW, saving an .fla takes about 10-20 seconds, is NOT immediate, and disables the software as it is saving. The file in question is 1,092 KB.
My machine consists of an i7 2600k cpu, unraided 4 hard disks including a Vertex SSD 120G for the OS and programs, and 3 additional WD at 7200rpm 1 and 2 terrabyte sized, a DVI PCI-e Video Card GTX 580 3G "Phantom". And 16G ram - Gskill DDR3 1600MHz
And, i am NOT having this issue with any other software; i have CS5.5 Classic Collection installed on my machine and am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
I would appreciate your help.
thanks

Have you tried recreating your preference files in Flash CS5.5? Please be sure to backup any previous preference files before doing this so that you can save them if needed

C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\npswf32_flashutil.exe error

I've installed the TVTrigger application (http://www.tvtrigger.com/) on Windows 7 64-bit. This application required Flash to work. I've also installed Flash 10.
However, when I start the application, I get an error that C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\npswf32_flashutil.exe is missing.
When I check, no such directory exists.
Can anyone tell me what Flash version/installer I need to use to that actually populates C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\?
Regards,
P.

Hi , The files you are speaking of are removed with the Adobe Uninstaller and then the Installer will install the needed
files into the Flash folder.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html Download this Uninstaller and put it on your Desktop
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe This is the FF Installer, SAVE it to your Desktop
Since I don't know what add ons, extensions or plugins you have, Just disable them all for now.
Follow the instructions for the Uninstaller, close all browsers, check the system tray. No programs that use Flash should
be running.
Disconnect from the Internet
Disable any and all Anti-Virus/Spyware programs that run in realtime.
Disable any Firewall that you use, except Windows Firewall
Run the Uninstaller from your Desktop, then Reboot. Wait until fully Rebooted, then Reboot again
Run the Installer from your Desktop, then Reboot
Enable your Firewall and your Anti-Virus/Spyware programs
Connect back to the Internet
Go to this Adobe test site to confirm you have the FP vs 10.0.42.34 installed http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about
Go to your plugins and make sure you have SWF(Shockwave Flash) vs 10.0.42.34 there and it is Enabled
Enable Java-the latest is JRE 6 update 18.
Then check your Flash folder and post back with the files that are now installed.
Now if you have old versions of Java installed(check the Add/Remove) you would need to Remove them via Add/Remove
and install the latest Java. NOTE: You can do this prior to the Uninstall/Install process. Post back and I'll give you the Java install procedure.
Thanks

Firefox loses window focus when flash reloads

This is an old problem that has NOT been solved by Mozilla/Adobe. If you load a flash web page, do nothing involving flash for a few minutes, and then load a new flash page in a different FF window, application focus will get yanked to the OLD window (the one you haven't touched in minutes). This problem was documented here as far back as June 2012. But for some reason the thread was closed even though the issue has not been fixed.
This issue has nothing to do with extensions or outdated plugins, as I can replicate it with a fresh copy of FF on a brand new Win7 machine with no options changed on FF. Yes, I am using the very latest Flash plugin, which works fine with the exception of this persistent and annoying issue. The issue does not exist with Chrome, and therefore it should be a priority for Mozilla to work with Adobe to fix it ASAP.

Sorry, solutions to problems such as that don't come from this support forum. Bugzilla is the place to report Bugs like that. <br />

Problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on windows application ("specified type is not valid ")

Hi
I am having problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on one of my windows application.
I am not sure how to put the Crystal Report Viewer 11 Control onto the tool box.
I could found a Crystal Report Viewer control on my computer, but it is version 8.5.
I have also found another one which is Called Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, i don't think it is the one I can use. As when I try to load a dummy report on to the Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, It return an error. "specified type is not valid"
Please see the Code sample below.
private sub loadReport()
     Dim r as New ReportDocument
     'v is the name of the Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Control
     r.Load("C:\Report1.rtp")
     v.ReportSource(r) <---It throw error on this line.
End Sub
Could you give me some advice about what have I done wrong, How to check if I have set up the Crystal Report Component correctly in my Visual Studio 2005 Standard edition.
Thanks in advances.
Many thanks
Chi

VS 2005 Standard and Express editions do not come with Crystal Reports; only the Professional and higher editions will have CR bundled. However, I believe you can purchase CR XI R2 Developer and it will give you the components you need to create a VS .NET 2005 application using the Standard edition.

We have developed a desktop application using Flash software and published the same for MAC environment. When we double click on the index.app file, the application is working perfectly in Mac 10.6.7 at our office. But if the same index.app file is double clicked in Mac 10.6.7 at out clients location, its not opening. For your information the client is able to open this same application by double clicking on index.swf file. The main problem is that client is not able to open the application using index.app file at their office whereas we are able to do so at our office. Can anyone give some suggestions to sort this problem?

The most common reason is different versions of Flash, or different versions of web browsers used. Some users may elect to not have Flash installed at all because of the processor overhead of Flash. If you are going to make an application for a client, check what operating system and browser versions they are using first. Then determine if a stand alone application is required, or if they have the necessary plugins to run specific browser enhanced code.
P.S. MAC is an acronym for Media Access Control. Mac is the shorthand for Macintosh, the operating system and computers made by Apple Inc.

Can Bootcamp and Parallels share the same Windows applications and data?

I'm looking at getting an Intel iMac which will let me throw away my old PC - Yeah!
I will have a couple of Win apps that I will need to hang on to (Quicken - Quicken for Mac is horrible, but that's another tghread). Anyway, can Bootcamp and Parallels share the same Windows applications and data?
My thought would be to allow my wife to access Quicken from Parallels and not have to reboot. She will only need lightweight access and the overhead of running virtualization wouldn't impact her. I, on the other hand, would want to occasionally boot natively into Windows and run the same application with the same datafile. Is this possible?
Thanks and looking forward to joining the MacIntel world!

Thanks for all of the freplies. I suspected that BootCamp and Parallels could not shar ethe same partition, but wanted to verify. To address some of the other posts:
Re: Quicken vs MoneyDance - I looked at MoneyDance a while back and while it is comparable to Quicken for Mac, it isn't comparable to Quicken for Windows (ergo, Quicken for Mac isn't comparable to Quicken for Windows!). But, as I said, that is a topic for another thread!
Re: Using Bootcamp/Parallels for only one app: I actually have several apps that I still need access to on Windows. I work with many business applications than only run/are supported on Windows as well as receive some complex Office documents which Office for Mac cannot handle. Quicken (for Windows 2007) was just the best example of a consumer app where I could see wanting access from both OS X and Windows.

How can i close a windows application that works under vmware in am applescript

Hi there,
On my roof I have a set of solar panels. The daily score of these panels are only visible by using a Windows application.
So I use vmware on my Imac to start Windows 7 on Bootcamp, this all by using a applescript in the automator app.
In the script vmware is starting up and then i made a task in Windows that starts up the specific application after the Windows startup. After a delay of 180 seconds the script fills in a password an gives a return. That works well.
Unfortunately it runs perfect the first tim a and then the second time, the specific application does not start. Only Windows starts up, the rest of the script does not work the right way, exempt closing the vmware, that goes as expected. So I think that the closing command that I give in the script:
tell application "VMware Fusion"
quit
end tell
causes a problem. The closing of the application within Windows is perhaps not done on a proper way.
Therefore I am looking for a way to close that application first and then closing Windows 7 and then VMware.
Thanks in advance for your help.

As a completely different approach, I'd have a look at the raw network traffic with tcpdump or equivalent, and see if I could figure out how to access this data — if you're lucky, it's a fairly standard interface of some sort; HTML queries, possibly.
Start with a port scan of the controller for the panels (using Network Utility.app in OS X, or another tool), and see what IP ports are open and active.
Is there a vendor and model associated with the controller for the panels? That might turn up some software other than this Windows application/
