Flash :: Is It Possible To Server Flash Without Using Plugin?

Javascript Popup To Install Flash Plugin, But Plugin Is Already Installed..
I have plugin checker code in place, checking for Plugin 9. On a co workers computer at home, she is prompted to download the Flash plugin via a javascript alert window that says "Install" or "Don't Install". After doing the install, it continues to happen over and over. This ONLY happens with Flash Plugin 9. I am about to revert back to Actionscript 2.0 for this application and use Flash Plugin 8 to see if that fixes it. Has anyone run into this before and does anyone have any resolution? If more info is needed let me know I'll be happy to provide.. Thanks

Detect Flash Plugin, If No Plugin --redirect To Non-flash Site (javascript)
Wanting to know how to redirect a user to another site (non-flash) if they do not have the flash plugin installed on their computer.

--all of this using javascript on the main login-page

if no flash installed on computer, redirect to---non_flash.htm
if flash is detected then redirect to--flash.htm

reason being, some of the people that are using my web apps are old and don;t feel as if they should have to download something on their computer to run my software.
stupid, i know---

Thanks in advance

Flash Plugin Error "Plugin Cancelled"
Hi, Just built a small test tool to resize an image. Its working fine on my local machine however when uploaded to my site the externally loaded jpg file wont load and I'm getting a Plugin Cancelled error in the Safari activity window. I tried with firefox and no luck. I just upgraded to flash plugin 8 a few days ago. I'm publishing with mx2004 (FP 7)

my site: http://joeshields.net/flashlab/image...ageresize.html

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Need A Plugin But Firefox Can't Find The Plugin For Me.
On this page, I'm supposed to install a plugin for the flash video to play. But when I clicked on the box to download the plugin, I get this message;
No Suitable Plugins Were Found.

Unknown plugin; application/octet-stream

What to do?

SOAP, C++, C#, Or Other Access To Flash Media Server Server Management ActionScript API,
I'm writing code to manage a farm of Flash Media Servers, and I need to call some Flash Media Server APIs from languages other than ActionScript.

I'm happy to write some of my code in ActionScript subroutines, and just use the NetConnection remote call API to invoke those functions. But I can find no way to do this.

I was initially enticed by the alleged support for Web-Services, but was disappointed to find that it only (appears) to support consumption of web services - not PROVISION of web services.

I saw that there was an external API accessible from flash media player itself, but that appears to require embedding the media player in a web browser, etc.

Is it - perhaps - possible to directly invoke the flash-media-player from a C# application using their COM-bridge in .Net? And then use that to invoke remote connections - without having any client side actionscript?

Any other ideas?

Flash Media Server 3 And Windows 2003 Server Help For Live Streaming
Hi
I installed FMS 3 (developer) on my Windows 2003 Web Edition.server online
I booted the FMS 3 and it seems that it works correctly (I did the port scanner and is ok)
But I can not see the live streaming applications.
I followed the guidance of Tom Green
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/beginner_vod_fm3.html

In local everything works, but in windows server 2003 does not see the movie: I see only the green bar.

Please, someone has had similar problems to my and resolved?
What should I do on Windows servers?
The firewall is open on port 1395, but I do not have results.

Also, if using Flash Media Encoder 2.5 (locally) and use <Stream to Flash media Server> after entering the username and password I have this error
Primary - [ AccessManager.Reject ] : [ authmod=adobe ] : ?reason=needauth&user ...

Someone can help me?
Thank you

Flash Media Server Only Works Local On Server
i just installed a developers version of the flash media server on a windows server.
i don't have any problems while starting my applications on the server itself.
the problem only appears when i try to connect from a different computer which is not located in this network,
at least a connection from "outside".

there is no firewall right now on that server that this can't be the problem.

when starting the media server by the managment console i also do login with the domain-name of the server and not with localhost...locally all is working well...but not from outside.

i also try to test port 1935, 443 and 80, but none succeed from outside.

what i also tried is to run a version of the flash communication server 1.5 on my home pc also running a windows server. in this case i had the same problems: could only get a connection locally but not from outside...i.e. the connection to the server failed.

anyone an idea?

Immitating Flash Streaming Server With Development Server
We have an FMS 2 application that we are getting ready to port to FMS 3. It works on the development server, which I understand, is full featured like the Flash Interactive Media Server. Since our customers are primarily K-12/colleges, and our application only streams very low quality audio we would like to suggest that our customers purchase the cheaper FMS Streaming Server 3.

The question:

Is there a way to make our Flash Media Development Server act like Flash Media Streaming Server with out purchasing a license, in order to test application compatibility? We don't want to have to purchase the streaming server only to find out it won't work and then pay another $3,500 in order to upgrade to FMS Interactive, when we could just pay $2000 to upgrade our existing FMS 2 license to FMS Interactive.

LoadVars With Server Side ActionScript (Flash Com Server)
I'm making a simple login application. I want to send a username/password while connecting to FCS, and have the SSAS of main.asc connect to a PHP document that will lookup the username/pass and make the necessary checks for the information in a mySQL database.

I'm trying to use the LoadVars() object, maybe you can't do this with SSAS? Or maybe i need to include some other actionscript file (I know when you use components you have to specify load("components.asc"); at the top of the main.asc file --- i'm hoping it's something that easy )

This is my first FCS app, I've done a lot of research but this one's sort of stumping me. I keep getting an error that looks like this:

/opt/macromedia/fcs/applications/my_app/main.asc: line 9: ReferenceError: LoadVars is not defined

Here is my code for main.asc:

ActionScript Code:
application.onAppStart = function(){ this.userCount = 0; this.users = [];}application.onConnect = function(thisClient, username, password){ thisClient.username = username; //authentication functions var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars; //line 9 where error happens my_lv.load("http://10.10.1.200/_websites/quickconnect/verify.php?username="+escape(username)+"&password="+escape(password)); my_lv.onLoad = function(success){ if(success == true){ thisClient.username = my_lv.username; thisClient.email = my_lv.email; thisClient.firstname = my_lv.firstname; thisClient.lastname = my_lv.lastname; thisClient.usertype = my_lv.usertype; this.users[this.userCount] = thisClient; this.userCount++; } } //if login is okay //add user to users list this.acceptConnection(thisClient); }

Flash Media Server Vs PROXY Server/firewire
Hi All,

Can anyone help us, we have a multiway communication app developed in flash utlising FMS for audio communication. But now we find out that the end client is sitting behind a proxy server. What are the best ways of being able to send the communication through their poxy server without making major changes to the server itself? Otherwise this whole project is floored because no connection can be made.
note: it works fine when the client is not behind the firewall.

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Flash Media Server / Proxy Server / AS 2 Help
I was wondering any of you guys on the board can help me with an issue I'm having on this project I'm working on...

I'm working on this flash video player that loads .flv's stored on a Flash Media Server through a proxy server. So the swf that's on server A loads a .flv on server B through a proxy server. The thing is that I built the player in AS 2.0 -using the FLVplayback component (I know I know, but I'm just learning 3.0) , and it's not working right now, and we have diagnosed that it's most probably because the ProxyType is not set and it needs to be HTTP i think. I know you can do it in 3.0, but I'm not sure of an equivalent way to do it in 2.0? Would I have to write something to extend the class?

Help!

Thanks in advance

Window Media Server And Flash Server
hi experts,
I am rather new to Flash Media Server, but quite impressed with what flash server can do. however, i have a few questions which i could not find any answer on the website:

1) Could Flash Media Server co-exists on the same server with Window Media Server? Can both run at the same time?

2) Could Microsoft cluster service support Flash Media server or Window Media server? If not, is there any other way for high avail support?

Thank you guys in advance.

Accessing Flash Media Server From Another Web Server
Hi,

I have installed Flash Media Server 3 Developer Edition on a server to test out some flv files but cannot seem to access the files from another web server. I have not created an application in FMS3 but have placed the videos files in the VOD Media folder. Could this be a firewall issue and if so what port do I need to open up?

Kind regards

Stream Works From Local Desktop To Server But Not Server To Server
I have flash media server running on linux. If I launch a test application from my desktop that points to the flash media server (rmtp://myserver.com/live) it works beautifully. However, If I launch an application from my server(http://myserver.com/myapp) and have it point to my flash media server (rmtp://myserver.com/live) i get a rejected from server error. Does anyone know why this would behave like that and how it might be fixed? Thank you.

Flash Plugin BUG?
Hi all,

one of my sites works great in IE on Windows, but seems to crash on Netscape Win, Netscape and IE Mac. Looks like a plugin bug. Activex works fine.

Here's the url:

http://www.melindasmithstudio.com

Go to the gallery section (either by clicking on a picture on the right in the home page or by selecting "gallery").

Wait a few seconds for all the thumbnails to load. Then select a painting in the bottom left bar. In IE (windows), it will load a new painting in the main pane. In any other platform/browser, it will probably reload the entire movie and send you back to the home page. Then if you go back to gallery, weird things happen (try to load a painting and take a look at the navigator/zoom pane).

First of all, can you guys reproduce the error or am I crazy?

Secondly, is this a know plug-in vs activex issue?? I *KNOW* my code is clean. It's working just fine in IE.

I thought Flash was the ultimate remedy to cross-platform debugging. Apparently not.

Macromedia, Flashkit gurus, any input?

Thanks guys,

Stephane

Flash Plugin
on my site http://www.urbanracing.tk i have a menu and i use flash buttons in it. when any user goes onto my site they are asked to download the flash plugin and thats fine, but i have 8 buttons on the menu and it wants to install the plugin for every button and as well as that it also wants to restart the computer after each button loads, also another strange thing is i have other flash buttons my site they dont have the same problem

Flash Plugin
I've seen either a tutorial or thread on one of the forums which outlined a neat trick - place an image instead of a swf if the user doesn't have the correct flash plugin.
I use MX and I realise that it automatically checks for the correct plugin, but I'd like to know if placing an image instead is an option.
I have searched the tutorials and cannot find anything... I'm sure I didn't imagine this, can anyone shed any light on the subject???

What Flash Plugin Came With IE 5.5
Hello-
I'm doing some flash work for a client and when I asked them what version SWF I should deliver, they said "whatever shipped with IE 5.5 (for PC)"

Does anyone know what version plugin IE 5.5 shipped with - or does it depend on what build of IE 5.5 you're talking about?

Thanks-

Or even make it pop up in a higher level of the flash page using load movie. Or does that only work on .swfs and .jpgs?

THANKS much!!!!

Get Around A Flash Plugin?
I am okay using flash, but I am new at trying to integrate it with other programs. If I wanted to have a Flash Website (swf) loaded with a Dreamweaver HTML site but I need to create a preloader page that informs the user that they must download a flash plugin.

The problem is allowing users to see the webpage with or without a flash plugin, but if we are using flash, then that is impossible. So I am trying to create a page that warns the user first.

Any suggestions, help is greatly appreciated

I'm new to flash, so let me know if this is at all possible.

Flash 6 Plugin Problem
Hi, one of my users has reported the following problem, have any of you guys sean or heard of it, or its solution?

Basically if flash 5 is installed on explorer 5 (my situation) then
flash 6 may not install, but will still give the successful installation
screen on the macromedia site, so you believe you do have it. To get rid
of this problem you need to delete various obscure files, then install
flash 4 to get rid of a setting in flash 5 which says never install
flash activex again, then uninstall flash 4 and install flash 6. 2 hrs
later and it is working fine!
