SWFobject Does Not Work With The Latest Flash Player Update In IE


So I get an installer show up this morning for the new flash player after installation and testing of my site. It appears SWFobject is not working in IE anymore. But it still works fine in everything else.

What the hell is going on!?

Latest Player Update (9,0,115,0) - Loss Of HTTP Authentication In Headers
An application that I wrote using the Twitter API no longer works with the latest Flash player update. Apparently it does not allow you to set the headers.

So the question now is how can I use basic authentication to log me into the Twitter api or similar. It take it that has to be done with PHP but this is now getting a bit silly when you have app frameworks like Flex that cannot talk to http web services that require any kind of http authentication.

I have searched but can't find out where I need to start looking to solve the problem. I can see this being a massive issue for adobe as many apps are now going to fail.

Any ideas?

Why Would The Latest Verion Of Swfobject Cause This Problem?
So This works with an old version of swfobject.js but the new version breaks the loading of my background image. Can someone tell me what I need to update in my code? I need to get it working with the latest version and guess it's my code's issue...


Here is my code:


Code:
stop();

Stage.scaleMode = "noscale";
Stage.align = "tl";

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

var bkgHolder:MovieClip;
var mcHolder:MovieClip;

//Center movieClip reusable function
function centerMC(mc:MovieClip):Void {

mc._x = Math.floor((Stage.width - mc._width) / 2);
mc._y = Math.floor((Stage.height - mc._height) / 2);

}

function reposition() {

centerMC(mcHolder);
bkgScale();

};

Stage.addListener({onResize:reposition});

//Fade in or out reusable function
function fadeMc(mc:MovieClip, newAlpha:Number, duration:Number):Void {

var mcAlpha:Number = mc._alpha;

var fade:Tween = new Tween(mc, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, mcAlpha, newAlpha, duration, false);

}

//Scale Background
function bkgScale():Void {

// This is the proportion (width/height) of the image
var imageScale:Number = bkgHolder._width/bkgHolder._height;

// This is the proportion (width/height) of the stage
var stageScale:Number = Stage.width/Stage.height;

// If the stage scale is bigger than the image scale the images width resizes to the stage
// width and the image height takes the stage proportion
if (stageScale>=imageScale) {

bkgHolder._width = Stage.width;
bkgHolder._height = Stage.width/imageScale;

// If the stage scale is smaller than the image scale the images height resizes to the stage
// height and the image width takes the stage proportion
} else {

bkgHolder._height = Stage.height;
bkgHolder._width = Stage.height*imageScale;
}

}

/////////////Load Background//////////////////////
var bkgListener:Object = new Object();

bkgListener.onLoadStart = function(mc:MovieClip) {

mc._alpha = 0;

};

bkgListener.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip) {

bkgScale();
fadeMc(mc, 100, 20);
setTimeout(loadContent, 1000, "mc.swf");

};

var bkgLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
bkgLoader.addListener(bkgListener);

bkgLoader.loadClip("background.jpg", bkgHolder);


/////////////Load Content//////////////////////
var mcListener:Object = new Object();

mcListener.onLoadStart = function(mc:MovieClip) {

mc._alpha = 0;

};

mcListener.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip) {

centerMC(mc);
fadeMc(mc, 100, 30);

};

var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(mcListener);

function loadContent(mc):Void {

mcLoader.loadClip(mc, mcHolder);

Latest OS And Flash Player
Hi everyone!

I have strange thing happend to me just now... I'm working with a designer who as most designers strictly Mac based... I do all the back end for all projects and I'm PC based... I do not know much about Mac's... We just finished the project and it works perfectly on my machines but when I brought it to the office and we copied files to Mac the Flash player did not work... It just gives us a blank wite window... My partner told me that he just upgraded all computers to latest OS... I do not know how much it is diffrent from the previouse version but for some reason all our previouse projects work fine, but this last one does not... There is nothing diffrent about it on my end... I'm using same Flash MX us I was before and publish my movies exactly the same way...

If anyone knows what is wrong or had the same problem before, please let me know, b/c I'm running out of ideas...

Thanks for your time,
Peter

Problems Displaying Latest Update Of Animation
I have a Flash header on my website that I alter almost daily, and I have issues with browsers loading a old version of the animation from the cache instead of loading the newest version. Is there a line of code I can add to force it to download the animation every time instead of loading the cached version?

Anoying Feature Of The Latest Windows Update
Hi,

I have just instaled the latest automatic windows update and found something very anoying....

In IE (v6), when I load a webpage with a flash movie/game on it the flash movie is not 'activated.' Whenever I mouseover a flash movie I get the following screentip: "Click to activate and use this control". The flash movie is also surrouned in a boarder (the same as when you restore a window and drag it arround).

When I click on the flash movie it works as it did before the update.

My question: is there any way to stop this happening, to automaticaly 'activate' the flash movie so that this does not happen on my website?

Regards,

Latest Flash Player Version Download
Hi,

If the visitor doesn't have the version of flash player required to view the swf, is the swf downlaoded to his computer anyway?

Basically, we have a flash movie of 100kb on one of our pages. It was downloaded(ie. played) 1000 times last month according to web log files. Does that mean that all 1000 visitors had the minimum version required to view the swf? Is it possible that 500 of them didn't have flash player at all, for example?

In other words, if the visitor doesn't have flash player at all(or version 3 when 6 is minimum required, for example) is the swf still downloaded to his computer?

Our goal is to determine how many visitors saw the swf movie.

Thanks for your feedback.

Automatic Check For Latest Flash Player
Hi,

I'm looking for a piece of code that sits inside the HTML page that will check and detect the Flash Player Version on someone’s machine and automatically redirect them to the site. I am developing in Flash 8, but some users can only see part of the site. i.e. only pictures but no text.

Does that make sense?

Please!

Thanks.

John

Is The Latest Flash Player Disabling My Site?
Hi, this isn't a site check as it involves the Flash Player. My site works on my PC's which have an older Flash player, but I recently installed Flash player 10 on my Mac, and my site isn't working. Also, I have trouble with only a handful of other Flash sites.

Is Flash player 10 stable?

Here is my site: http://www.caillouette.com

Latest Flash Player Hangs Our Application
Hello,

We are experiencing some very troubling behavior with our Flex App
running on the latest Flash player version 0,9,0,28.

I have posted this on the Flex developer discussion forums but i have not had any responses as of yet so I figured I would try this forum as well.

To reproduce simply create an app that has a few TabNavigator tabs and
launch the app with your local browser – no need to serve it up from a
web server. Then wait about 1 day (without rebooting the machine) with
the web page still up and re-launch the html with the swf and then
click on the tabs – no response. It does not always happen right away
but I find that after 24 hours by doing a few web page refreshes or
launching in a new window result in the tabs hanging.

On our application it is not necessary to leave the application up and
running for 24 hours to encounter this problem it is just sufficient
to run the app once and wait 24 hours AND once this problem occurs you
can reproduce on any other application that has tabs or menu items.

It does appear that the events are propagating but the player seems
unable to redraw the tabs. On our application this behavior is also
extended to menu items in the menu bar.

Also this problem does not occur if you run the swf in standalone mode
even after a day of continuous computer up time and even when the
problem is encountered on the web browser. Running the same
application in standalone mode does not exhibit any of these issues.

We have been unable to repro this behavior on the flash player version
0,9,0,16

Sometimes when closing all the Internet Explorer windows after this
problem appears I get Application Error –

The instruction at "0x…." referenced memory at "0x…". The memory could
not be "read"

Then the same error but for - CwndSessionMonitor:iexplore.exe

FireFox also exhibits this same behavior so it is not IE specific.
Though I have never run this test by just using FireFox – I just noted
that once the problem occurs in IE it is also reproducible in the
FireFox browser.

Also we have repro this on multiple machines - but as an example here
is one machine configuration:

OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP 1
CPU: 3 ghz dual core
RAM: 4gig
HardDrive: 350gig
Internet Explorer Version: 6.0.3790.1830
FireFox Vesion: 1.5.0.9
Flash Player Version: 0,9,0,28
Adobe Flex Builder 2 Version: 2.0.143459

Thanks for any help,
Mark

Embedding A Flash Video Player/SWFobject
Hi,
I am trying to embed a flash video player swf in my page using the swfObject and I cannot get it to work. I have the video player file loading the flv video from an external folder on the server as well. Here is my code..

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--//--><![CDATA[//><!--
var so = new SWFObject("video_makegravy.swf", "Gravy", "333", "333", "7", "#777");
so.write("Gravy");
//--><!]]>
</script>

what am I leaving out? Do I also need to tell it to load the video into the flash video player file, or will flash handle that once I am able to load the playing file through the SWFobject?

thanks,

Mike

Implementing Flash - ActiveX Fix Doesn't Work - SWFObject Neither 100%
Dear folks,

I'm slowly loosing it over here.. So I really hope someone out there takes the time to read my post and gives me the solution I'm desperately seeking for weeks now...

I'm having trouble getting ANY of the flash implement scripts available (flash-code of flash 8 itself incl. ActiveXfix., SWFObject, old method, etc.) to work on EVERY WINXP - IE combination (should be quite simple one would guess)..

Look, this is the problem I can't solve, slices into three sub problems:

1) The official Flash-version-testing page of Adobe shows an animation with the old flash implement code (object... etc.) This is strange enough when you think of the fact that Adobe should know by now that many folks with the IE update get a gray border around the flash object and first have to click it to activate it... So, the old method is definitely no option.. See for yourself at: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowled...fm?id=tn_15507 move your mouse over the animation and voila, a grey border - if you have an updated IE version and use Windows XP...

2) Next to this old method, there is the NEW method which comes along with the Flash Detection Kit 2006 and which SHOULD (according to Adobe) work perfectly in collaboration with the new Flash ActiveX IE fix which enables Flash 8 to deploy a code in the form of JavaScript along with the SWF file... Well guess what, on some systems this works, but on my it doesn't and the grey box is still displayed around the movie.. Damn why is Adobe doing this to me ???

3) Also, there is SWFOBject, used by Adobe (???) on this link: http://www.adobe.com/nl/events/adobe.../adobelive.htm .... Most people around (by people I mean Flash guru's) swear to me this is the best choice.. However, on 1 out of 5 tested computers (again IE + WinXp) you get just the 'alternate content' lines, NOT THE ACTUAL MOVIE .. While it works perfectly on most pc's, it still isn't cross-browser/system compatible for 100%... This is annoying, since the pc it doesn't work on, is my BOSS's pc ! So I really really want to get a method working on EVERY SYSTEM just like the good old days (like 3 months ago....)


Please, does any one even know or understand what the hell I'm talking about ?? We are testing this for over a week now but we can't find a working solution which works for 100%... Or at least one which works on every WINXP/IE combination... Please.. Any help is much appreciated...

Kind regards,
Roel

"update To Latest Version..." Not Appearing For Visitors
I made a real quick flash web page that includes a little movie animation I did. It works great, most of the time. My problem is that some folks just get a black screen. This is due, I think, to them not having the needed version of Flash/Shockwave installed on their machine. Why are they not being presented with the “update to the latest version…” dialog?
I encoded the animation within flash because I though that would make everything more compatible.
Here’s the link:
http://www.mrtc.com/Sports/MRTC-Web.html
Please help ASAP…
Thanks!
Edit -
In my settings, I'm publishing to Flash 9 and Action Script 3. What is the lowest setting for these 2 that will play ( and loop ) the above link - it's just an .flv. If I can head off the need to have folks update, that work work just as well.

Player 9 Update-Firefox Update And Bandwidth
Hi,

I have a site of mine online which I created some 2.5 years ago probably with Flash MX--Recently, my hosting company informed me that I had allotted my bandwidth allowance--I had recently installed the latest version of the Flash Player as well as the latest version of Mozilla Firefox--It seems that through viewing my site in the updated Firefox browser with the updated player there was some code in my swf which apparently kept trying to download the mp3 file --Some 271769 hits in a few hours resulting in using 1341.07 GB of bandwidth, all originating from IP address, btw--The hosting company is threatening to charge me at the rate of $10 per 5GB over my allotted bandwidth-I get 20GB free per month--That means they are planning to charge me over $2,600 --
Anyway, here is the code:

Code:
jimi = new Sound();
jimi.loadSound("jimi.mp3", true);
jimi.onSoundComplete = function() {
jimi.loadSound("jimi.mp3", true);
};
Which has not caused any problems in over 2 years and countless viewings until the recent installations of the most current security updates to the Flash 9 Player and Firefox-

Does anyone know if the code is now incompatible with the new player and/or firefox and if there is a way to fix this without redoing the entire site in AS3?

Thanks
---Yvette

Latest Player Not Backwards-compatible
Macromedia: SHAME ON YOU!

I've tested my project with flash player version:
6.0.22.0
6.0.23.0
6.0.29.0
6.0.40.0

all of them works, but the latest (newly released) 6.0.47.0 refuses to load my XML-file for some reason. This error only occurs on the web-server. Not within flash itself. (Not even when accessing local webserver).

The only differences between my local server and real server are some pathes.. Could it be that the latest player is more restrictive on security? (Things are loaded from several servers).

Anyway - there is some undocumented change in the latest player that is breaking my project, thus rendering me sleepless...

ideas?

How To Update The IDE Flash Player?
Hi,

I know it's supposed to be easy, but it turned out to be problem. :-(

I wan't to be able to view h264 encoded mp4 videos when I test my site in Flash CS3. However, I can't find a way to update the player. I tried googling it, cause I thought it should be really common case, but I found no useful results.

I have current 9.0.124 players working in both IE and FF. The only problem is the test player in Flash IDE.

Update Flash Player?
Not sure if this is the correct place to post this problem but...

So I have built a couple of sites in flash cs4 using as3.0 and they work just fine on my computer as swfs. I have built a quick site in dreamweaver cs4 where all I do is embed the swf into an html page. I test in the browser and it works great everytime. I upload the page to my server with the js active content scripts etc... and no dice. it always says that I need a newer version of flash to view the content on the page. I don't understand. I have updated and still the same warning. The pages have been published to both player 9 and 10 but still the same problem. As a note I am using bluehost if that makes any difference.

You can go to www.schmacklab.com to view the source code of the html page if you would like. Does anyone else have this problem? I never had this problem with cs3 using as3.0. Am I forgetting something really stupid? This is just really frustrating.

Latest Safari Doesn't Like Debug Player?
If you're used to logging Flash player output via mm.cfg and you use Safari on a Mac, you may have to choose between updating Safari, logging output and using the debug browser plugin (which is necessary for people who profile their projects in Flex Builder).

After updating, I've had to switch to the release browser plugin, because Safari will crash whenever I browse to a site whose Flash content traces output or throws an error. And because of the recent security update to Flash, there're a lot of sites that throw quiet Flash errors.

Have any other Mac users had this problem?

As for my question, how does the Flash Player get updated if the user is using a browser other than IE on Windows? Does the "codebase" attribute work for these browsers as well, or on a Mac? If not, is there a way we can ensure that everybody viewing our content is doing so with an up-to-date Flash Player? Thanks.

Update Player 9.0.47.0 - Not Reflected In Flash CS3
I just installed the recent player files version 9.0.47.0 in the players directory and updated the browser plugins after uninstalling the old ones as descipes in the tech-note. When I use Flash CS3 and run code to show the version (System.capabilities.version) i get the a string saying "9.0.45.0". If i run the player directly from within the directory C:...Players it give the correct version. Does the update not affect the autering tool? I might have missed something.
The same thing happens with the update for flash player 8.

Problems After Flash Player Update
Hi,

i am writing because i have some strange sensations in my application after i updated my flash player to version 9,0,115,0.
this is the problem:
i have a dynamic textfield with htmlt text, in this html text i have some img-tags which i use to add Sprites into the htmltext that have some kind of user interactivity (rollover, click...).

until now everything worked fine, just with the update i have the problem that i lost the interactivity to this objects.
just some sprites which have embedded assets from a swf have the interactivity (rollover, click...) but also jsut on the embedded symbols and not on the whole sprite.
example: if i put the event on the sprite:
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doSomething)

the event will be just dispatched if i click on the embedded symbols.

i tried Security.allowDomain('*') but this didnt solved my problem
its like i am getting no focus on the sprite.

like i said before... it was working before the update :-(

greetings and thankful for every help!

Flash Player Update Issues
Hey guys.

I've recently encountered an issue at my work PC where the Flash Player in the IDE is not exporting with the latest flash player. I have repeatedly updated, uninstalled and re-installed the player from my system but continuously run into the same problem.
Basically I've got a project where I'm using HD video, and the latest flash player v: 9,0,115,0 is not used in the publication, instead it defaults back to v: 9,0,45,0. So when trying to preview my movie inside flash I am greeted with a blank screen, however when I view the .swf from my project folder it plays using the 9,0,115,0 player and works fine.

Has anyone experienced this problem? I have torn apart the Adobe website for some patches/fixes but everything I have tried has been ineffective in sorting this problem.
Also, I've used KewBee Plugin Switcher as well, but that doesn't allow me to install a later version either.

Would really appreciate some input on this if anyone has some info.


Thanks guys,

Oz

ActionScript Flash Player 5 To 8 Code Update [F8]
I have a flash 5 movie with an access DB using ASP 3.0 to pass data. It works great, the problem is I need this chunk of code below to work in a Flash 8 movie and I am not sure why it throws errors when I try to compile it into a Flash 8 swf


Code:
on (release)
{
CurrentRecord++;
if (CurrentRecord == TotalRecords)
CurrentRecord = 0;
loadVariables ("flash_test.asp?Record=" add String(CurrentRecord), this);
}
These are the errors I get from the above code when compiling this into a Flash 8 swf.

Code:
**Error** Symbol=AddressBook, layer=Layer 3, frame=1:Line 6: ')' or ',' expected
loadVariables ("flash_test.asp?Record=" add String(CurrentRecord), this);

**Error** Symbol=AddressBook, layer=Layer 3, frame=1:Line 7: Unexpected '}' encountered
}

**Error** Symbol=AddressBook, layer=Layer 3, frame=1:Line 6: ')' or ',' expected
loadVariables ("flash_test.asp?Record=" add String(CurrentRecord), this);

**Error** Symbol=AddressBook, layer=Layer 3, frame=1:Line 7: Unexpected '}' encountered
}

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Main Layer, frame=1:Line 14: Syntax error.
strPosition = "Record " add String(CurrentRecord+1) add " of " add String(TotalRecords);

Total ActionScript Errors: 5 Reported Errors: 5
The code works great as long as I compile it to Flash Player 5, otherwise it throws errors. I am not sure where the syntax goes wrong or what should be used intstead. Usually Flash will automatically upconvert old /deprecated code so I am confused as to what exactly I need to do.

Flash 8 Wants To Update Player (why) Video Embedded
I have a flash movie created with Flash MX set to Flash Player 7 and Action Script 2.0 with an embedded MOV file.

A user with Flash 8.22 can't see the movie in IE because he gets a need to update Active X message. Unfortunately he does not have admin privileges to allow Flash Player to update.

What I would like an answer to is why is Flash 8 not running this movie in the first place???

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Adam

Flash Player 9 Update Causes Security Error
I'm experiencing a security error in the just released Flash 9 Player Update (9.0.60 and higher) that I did not experience in prior versions of Flash 9 player (9.0.47 and below).

The situation I'm encountering:
1. I access a web service over HTTPS from a Flex application hosted on HTTPS on a different server.
2. The HTTPS service being accessed has a crossdomain.xml file in the root permitting access by my Flex application.
3. The service can be accessed without problems when the Flex application is running inside Flash Player 9.0.47 and below.
4. When the serviced is accessed from a Flex application running in Flash Player 9.0.60 and higher on Windows (IE or Firefox), I get a “Security error accessing url” error.

Flash Player 6 Action Scripts Update Help.
I have some code that needs to be updated to work in Flash Player 8. I've received advice, but because I'm still learning Action Script I'm not able to make sense of it.
Here's the code that needs to be updated:
on (rollOver) {

_root.caption("view project", 2);
}
on (rollOut, dragOut) {
_root.remove_caption();

}

on (release) {
if(_root.xkoord>-538) {
_root.xkoord-=221;

}
if(_root.xkoord==-758) {
_root.xkoord=126;

}
}

The advice given was: "It look like not all the script is shown (as you are calling method called
'caption' and there is no caption method there)

It looks like the xkoord variable is not initialized .. it needs to be for
SWF7 or later.

It is also dangerous code there with an == instead of a < in the on(release)"

I'm reading documentation and still not having any luck. If someone could help me make a little more sense to this I would really appreciate it!
Thank you!

How To Make The "Update Player" Dialog Appear In Flash Player?
I can see that the player has a built-in update feature, which looks like a dialog that updates the player.. Looks like this feat is available even already in player 7..

However I can't seem to find how to invoke it... Anyone knows?

Thanks.

Macromedia Forcing User To Update Flash Player
About 2 years ago I developed an e-learning module using flash 5. Published as Flash 5. I have not touched it since...

However, I got a call the other day from the client saying that they can not access the content and the broweser (I.E 5.5) is asking them to install flash player 7 (They already have flash player 6 installed).

Is this a macromedia thing? forcing all users to update in order to view old content as well? Has anybody witnesses something similer?

note: unfortuntley, the client is a big company with a big firewall, so updating the plater ins't so simple...

Flash Player Auto Update Causing Problems
A Flash mini ap that I created for my university is causing some problems. The issue lies in that some users on campus don't have the latest version of flash player on their computer. When they try to access the page with the mini ap on it the page freezes. The freeze arises when the player tries do download the current version. The University's filter recognizes this as peer to peer for some reason and marks it as low priority in regards to bandwidth. The player takes a long time to download and the page freezes up.

Is there a solution to this? Can I disable the auto download feature in flash?

Need To Flag Browser Viewer To Update Flash Player
I have a Flash file that only displays in Flash 8. Is there a script I can put into page that will prompt user to download new Flash player if Flash 8 is not detected? I'd like to see this prompt come up in place of the Flash graphic, which displays, but with missing elements. I want to add this into html, not the Flash graphic (which was created in an animation program.

The default viewer inn IE 7 must use Flash 6
