Flash :: Shockwave Flash Object SDK?

Shockwave Flash Object - ActiveX Control
Hi,

I have a flash movie that loads variables from a .asp page.

This works fine on most machines that I test it on, however on some it does not.

It seems that whether or not this works depends on if the machine has the "Shockwave Flash Object" (this is an ActiveX control)installed.

This is extra to having "Flash" installed.

I want to put a link on my site where people can download the "Shockwave Flash Object" from but I can't find a link to this. Even if I download the latest version of Flash from the macromedia site my movie still does not work because the "Shockwave Flash Object" is missing.

Can anyone help???

Cheers

Dave

Shockwave Flash NP-PPC And IE
I'm a Mac user using OS9.2.2 and a few months ago had to replace the hard drive on the Mac. This caused me to have to upgrade my flash player to Flash player 6. I had never had any problem surfing the net with Flash player 5. About an hour after I start up my computer I now keep getting this annoying error box that says,

Not enough memory to open the plug-in Shockwave flash NP-PPC. Allocating more memory to Internet Explorer may help.

I have allocated to IE the minimum memory to 3075488k and my perferred is 3259700k and that is the max memory my computer will allow me to allocate to IE and I still keep getting the annoying error box. Could anyone give me some ideas please? Oh yea I'm using IE 5.0

TIA

Shockwave Vs Flash?
what is the difference between shockwave and flash? They seem to be the same thing for the most part. Except that I've seen shockwave do more interesting things i think. Is shockwave better for developing games? If so, how do I make a shockwave file? Do you program shockwave files with actionscript?

Thanks in advance...

Flash = Shockwave?

Shockwave Or Flash
I read this on this website.
http://www.w3schools.com/flash/flash_howto.asp

In September 2000, NPD Research, the parent company of MediaMetrix, conducted a study to determine what percentage of Web browsers have Flash preinstalled. The results show that 96.4% of Web users can experience Macromedia Flash content without having to download and install a player.

If you do not have the Shockwave Player installed you can download it for free from Adobe's site.

Don't they mean if you do not have the Flash player installed?
Does Shockwave come preinstalled on computers?
If you visit a Shockwave web site will Shockwave install automatically?

Thanks.

Distributing Flash Via Shockwave
Help I'm distributing Flash player with a CD-ROM I believe you can only do this by distributing the Shockwave player which includes flash player.

So I went to macromedia site filled in licence I received the links to download Shockwave player v 8.5.1

However this only contains Flash Player v5,0,42,0 - which is no good as I am using MX so need to distribute flash player 6,0,47,0 (the newest one)

Does anyone know 1)is there a newer shockwave than v8.5.1 or is this the newest 2) Is it possible (legally) to distribute the flash player 6.exe instead of shockwave??

Any help greatly appreciated!!

Flash And Shockwave Files
Hello there,

I am trying to make an interactive presentation in Director, which contains sound, video and graphics....once I am done with animating some of the graphics, I need to bring parts of it into flash and export it as swf file ....I couldn't see that option (export to swf) in the export diologue box in director ,and in flash It didn't have export or import option for shock wave files....Is this even doable???......

I also was wondering if that was the best way of doing this...

Thank you for your help in advance.

What Is The Difference Between Shockwave And Flash?
I know Flash is built from flash, and Shockwave from director. I know that Shockwave is compiled while Flash is interprited (right?), and I know that flash was designed specifically for the Web and Shockwave has been around much longer then that (and was designed for multimedia CD's right?)... But

What really is the difference between them at the technical level?

Compatability With Flash Shockwave 6.0 R79
I have currently been compliling emulators using flash. The emulators are published using action script 2.0 ver 6 for compatibility reasons. On computers that have upgraded the flash player to flash shockwave 6.0 r79, when the emulator opens it plays all the way through (ignors stop ();). By right clicking and selecting rewind the emulator goes to the begining and acts normally. Is there a fix for this? Do I need to change the publish settings. Most of the computers that view the emulator are formated with flash player 6.0. I do need the emulator to be compatible with both systems. Any assistance would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Tammy

Flash X Shockwave: A Lost Battle?
Hey everybody,

There is a matter that have bugged me lately, and I confess that I am really confused about that, and I would like to hear some opinions about that.

I became a Flash game developer, and in the last year I may written about 50 games. Lately, I got a new customer from Malaysia that is a power developer (they makes and sell about two thousand games a year).

Talking to the person that is my contact there, I heard her tell me that they are predicting the death of Flash (not for everything, but for games development) in about one year. Second her sources in the company, Flash will be beated by Shockwave within this timeframe.

Well, talking to another customer, he told me what I always thought: that Flash is becoming more and more powerfull and that Adobe/Macromedia is going to slowly take Shockwave off because it's a too obsolete technology.

I know nothing about Shockwave development (dont know if exists a dev environment and such), but as far as I can see, Flash is getting better every new day, and it's very hard to me to believe that Shockwave can put Flash off of the competition.

What you guys think about that? What is truth and what is not in that?

Shockwave Player Interfering With Flash
i've encountered an issue where the loading bar on a Flash swf i created will only progress if you move the mouse or hit keys on the keyboard. on some systems, installing the latest version of the Flash player resolves this issue; on others, that doesn't help. the swf can be viewed at http://www.cafe-game-online.com (click on "Please Join us for a Game", or "Play Now" under the About Cafe menu option).

it's not a huge deal; most people wiggle their mouse when they're impatient anyway, so the problem sort of solves itself. still, any advice would be appreciated.

Making A Game Flash Or Shockwave?
I want to make my game as solid as possible... i know flash really well, but i know nothing about director besides they use a language called lingo...

i have heard that shockwave is more powerful, and more solid for games.. but i wanted to get someone elses opinion on the matter.

also, what are the multi-user possibilities of shockwave? i use electro-server for flash, but i don't know about shockwave...

thanks

(application/x-shockwave-flash-objekt)
I have this address: "www.laudes.nu" but if you go to the page you´ll see that the title is "(application/x-shockwave-flash-objekt)" which I don´t like. It is also impossible to view the source code.

I have created a fla-file called index.fla, a swf-file called index.swf, and a html-file called index.html which has the title "Laudes - December" in the <head>. The swf-file and the html-file are on the webbserver.

Everything looks fine, except for the title, when I go to "www.laudes.nu". In order to see the correct title (and to be able to view the source code) I have to write: "www.laudes.nu/index.html".

Why and how do I solve the problem (I don´t want to write "/index.html")????

Director Shockwave Loaded Into Flash?
Hi - what I want is to have my portfolio webpage as a _level0 .swf, and I'll load various things onto _level1 via loadMovieNum, as users click on their icons in my menu.

Oh yeah! I realized that not all the stuff in my portfolio is Flash-based. I have some Director 8.5 .dcr Shockwave files that I want to display within the same environment... ideally using loadMovieNum or something similar.

How can I integrate Director files into my online Flash environment?

Monitoring The Shockwave Flash Control
I have a VB6 app that uses the Shockwave Flash control, Flash8.ocx, to play a Flash SWF file. The SWF file loops continuously. Does the Shockwave Flash control have a property, method, or event that I can test from my VB6 app that can be used to indicate that the flash movie is continuing to run (maybe an indication of a current frame number, end-of-movie notification, current error number - which would normally be zero, etc.) ?

How I can to capture frame from flash file to png without background and with considering semitransparency?

Recreating A Shockwave Effect In Flash
On the site www.dextro.org there is a shockwave effect that I really want to duplicate for my computer science class. On the main page, click on the little orange "C" in the bottom left, and on the page that loads find the animation in the sixth row, second column. The animation generates random points that randomly sized ellipses chase to-similar to an old Windows screen saver. If you watch the whole animation, it is perfectly symmetrical every time. However, I just want to know how to create the random chasing effect with the ellipses. Let me know if any of you have an easy answer for it, or if you have some code that comes close. Thanks for the help.

Any suggestions would be helpful??????????? thx

Hello I am having a hard time getting a simple flash movie to play in a web page that I am creating.

the flash movie works in flash no problem there

I am using dreamweaver to create the page
I insert the flash movie into the page and try to preview/play the movie. When I do this I recieve a msg telling me that the proper plugin needed to play this file type is not installed

I have installed the player for both flash and shockwave on my PC but this does not seem to help

If so then has anybody out there had problems getting flash movies to play in web pages It seems like it should be very striaght forword??

Any Way To Alter Application/x-shockwave-flash Content?
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="myvideo"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="myvideo" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

I currently have an object that looks like this, however, I automatically pause the video for 5 seconds. I would like to be able to show a message after this 10 seconds. Is there a way to do this? Possiblly show something covering the video maybe? I would like the message to be contained within the video box. Is there a way to do this?

Any help/pointers/direction on where to go would be nice. Thank you.

Help Help Swfs All Turned Into Shockwave Flash Objects
Started using flash 8 recently and everything was ok.

I tested and published my flas as swfs and html and all was fine.

Tonight, something's gone wrong. I imported a mp3 file into a flash document to work on and when i published it i couldn't view it.
All i've been doing is copying grouped objects from other my other flas and pasting them in frames in a flash movie to make a storyboard..

But when i published, it won't open and the properties thing says it's a shockwave flash object! The file ending is still called swf..

It gives me the message, "windows couldn't open this file
movie1.swf ....
choose the appropriate program from the list."

I can't recall which version of flash player i'm using, so i download flash 9 and also shockwave player although i'm only making the content in flash, not director, but i'm basically panicking, so

Plus flash player and shockwave do not appear on the list and i don't know where they get installed..

Where do they get installed?

What is going on?!

Of course, when i opened any folders i published animations to swf in previously, i find that the file type has changed to shockwave flash object!
i can't open any of them! i'm going to die... :( :(

Supposed to be uploading webpages this week and they were all ready .. now they are not going to work! And have other project deadline.. this is the worst thing.. i can't test anything.. :( :(

i'm really flummoxed. should i remove and reinstall flash?
i tried restarting and same thing still.

please please give me advice.. :(
