Issue With Flash Plugin Version 6,0,79,0 For Mac?
on a movie clip i attached this actionscript to dynamically change the color:
onClipEvent (load) {
var a = 5;
myColor = new Color(this);
var cRGB = myColor.getRGB();
var cHEX = cRGB.toString(16);
var newRGB = cRGB;
var newHEX = cHEX;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (cHEX<>newHEX) {
// break the hex into 3 values, one for each color
var cHEX_r = parseInt(cHEX.substring(0, 2), 16);
var newHEX_r = parseInt(newHEX.substring(0, 2), 16);
var cHEX_g = parseInt(cHEX.substring(2, 4), 16);
var newHEX_g = parseInt(newHEX.substring(2, 4), 16);
var cHEX_b = parseInt(cHEX.substring(4, 6), 16);
var newHEX_b = parseInt(newHEX.substring(4, 6), 16);
// adjust each value independantly, so you don't get any wierd colors showing up
// adjust red value
if (cHEX_r<>newHEX_r) {
var r_diff = Math.round((newHEX_r-cHEX_r)/a);
if (Math.abs(r_diff)<1) {
cHEX_r = newHEX_r;
} else {
cHEX_r += r_diff;
}
}
// then green value
if (cHEX_g<>newHEX_g) {
var g_diff = Math.round((newHEX_g-cHEX_g)/a);
if (Math.abs(g_diff)<1) {
cHEX_g = newHEX_g;
} else {
cHEX_g += g_diff;
}
}
// then blue value
if (cHEX_b<>newHEX_b) {
var b_diff = Math.round((newHEX_b-cHEX_b)/a);
if (Math.abs(b_diff)<1) {
cHEX_b = newHEX_b;
} else {
cHEX_b += b_diff;
}
}
// adjust the color to the new value
// sets the decimal numbers back to hex
cHEX_r = cHEX_r.toString(16);
cHEX_g = cHEX_g.toString(16);
cHEX_b = cHEX_b.toString(16);
// this check is needed if there is a 0 value in the string, when you use toString() it will leave 0's blank,
// instead of filling them in, so you get "0" instead of "00" or "e" instead of "0e" so this fills in the 0
// if it is needed
while(cHEX_r.length < 2) {
cHEX_r = "0"+cHEX_r;
}
while(cHEX_g.length < 2) {
cHEX_g = "0"+cHEX_g;
}
while(cHEX_b.length < 2) {
cHEX_b = "0"+cHEX_b;
}
// end toString() fix
cHEX = cHEX_r+cHEX_g+cHEX_b; // set the current HEX variable
myColor.setRGB(parseInt(cHEX, 16)); // set the color of the BG (or object)
}
}
and on a button to change the color:
on(press){
movieclip.newHEX = "color code";
}
i havent upgraded the flash plugin for my mac in quite sometime and found the actionscript above to be working fine on both pc and mac computers.
earlier today i upgraded the plugin to version 6,0,79,0 on my mac and suddenly the script didn't work as it suppose to(didn't change to the correct color). first i thought there was something wrong with my mac, when i tested on other macs not using the newest plugin the problem wasn't apparent. but when i upgraded the plugin the same problem came up again. so far as i know, the problem only appear when viewing on macs using the mentioned plugin.
if anyone using mac and have the 6,0,79,0 plugin please visit www.dijitaq.com/publishAts/main.html
anyone know of this problem?? or is it my coding??
thanks

Flash Plugin Check
Hi Guys, I've recently moved to CS3 so consider this a newbie question for that software even though I have used older versions of flash for a while...
I notice there's no PUBLISH option to display a Jpg if Flash plugin isn't detected; while I appreciate that the new code to display and check the version of flash is great, I have a client who has certain PCs that are locked down so can't install flash (and simply installing it manually isn't an option they want to hear,) in this case I need to display something other than a flash movie...
But that options gone from publish settings.
Basically my flash movie is written out inside a div and I would like to be able to check if flash is installed, if it's not it would attempt to install it and if it can't it hides that div or shows another image.
I can hide an image under the Div but the client is complaining about the LITTLE RED X which is showin when flash isn't installed - they simply wont accept the answer that if you don't install flash you get a little red X and I know from working with flash previously that there is the ability to show alternate code if flash isn't present...
Can any one offer advice
Thanks
DW Extensions That Check For Flash Plugin?
I could really use help setting up an HTML page to check for Flash plugin onLoad, and either pass the user to the actual Flash page or send them to a message page. I can't seem to find an extension that handles that well. Or a chunk of code that doesn't require some work. Any advice? Resources? Links?
Thanks,
Jeff

How Can I Get The Plugin Version 5.0.42 ?
Hi all, I'm making an XML-flash app for a client and they want it fer-sure to be in Flash 5.
Apparently there was an XML bug in version 5.0.30... and that's the version that came with the development kit way back when. My flash is failing on a computer with that plugin installed, and I suspect that the version is the problem.
Is there any way to find the plugin for Flash 5.0.42, released in December (of 2000 I assume)?

Flash Version Check In Projector File
If I am not using an HTML doc with my Flash file, but just a projector file (the file will be on a CD and not accessed from a web site or page), how can I do a version check for the correct version of Flash? Will the version check from the HTML tab in the publish settings still work?

Check Visitors Version Of Flash Player
I've noticed that if a user has a lower version of flash and you create something with lets say flash 8... it wont install the new plugin but instead much of the newer feature will not be viewed... so basically your swf presentation turns out a bit messed up.... How would I be able to check my visitors version of flash and have them install the new plugin if they dont already have it?
Check Version Of Flash Used Using File Properties
Hi,
Anyone know how to check the version of the Flash program or plugin used in producing .swf via file properties?
Here's what happened.
I install Apreview.swf with the Flash.ocx (v7) and SWFlash.ocx (v5) using InstallShield. Then i install an old version called Bpreview.swf which has old version of Flash.ocx and SWFlash.ocx. Both swf works fine.
Problem now is when i install Cpreview.swf (suppose to be same version as Apreview.swf), Cpreview doesn't work. I'm suspecting the developer who did this used different version of Flash to produce Apreview.swf and Cpreview.swf, so I would like to check the version.
I don't have Flash installed on my PC and I'm not familiar with Flash.
Please help!
Thanks.
Which Plugin Version (when Export) ?
Hi to all!
It's been a long time since I've used Flash and I'd be interested to hear you about this.
I use Flash 8 and I make simple things (simple animations and musical extracts from MP3 external files).
Which plugin version should I use when I export? And old one to be sure nobody will have to download a plugin recent version?
Thanks a lot!
Check Flash Player Version Before Using Percentage Preloader?
Don't I need to check flash version before using percentage preloader scripting?

Detect Flash Player Version--> Answer & Check
Hello,
[disclaimer]
First off, I want to appoligize if this should be in the site check, but it isn't really a site check, some i'm not too sure.
[/disclaimer]
As a result of google indexing the alternate page when you do Publish-->HTML-->Detect Flash. I wrote this script:
ActionScript Code:
function detectFlashPlayer() {
playerNotice_mc._visible = false;
okay_mc._visible = false;
var requiredPlayer = 7;
var playerVersion = System.capabilities.version;
var myLength = playerVersion.length;
var spaceNumber = playerVersion.indexOf(" ");
var subPlayer = playerVersion.substr(spaceNumber+1, playerVersion.length);
trace(subPlayer);
var userPlayer = subPlayer.substring(0, subPlayer.length-(subPlayer.length-1));
trace(userPlayer);
userPlayer = Number(userPlayer);
trace(userPlayer);
if (userPlayer<requiredPlayer) {
playerNotice_mc._visible = true;
} else {
okay_mc._visible = true;
}
}
detectFlashPlayer();
I need a little help checking if it works. HERE is the link. If you have version 7, you should see a red box saying you have version 7. Else, you should see a purple box asking you to update. Also, I don't really know AS 1.0 (just 2.0) so if you see something that wouldn't be compatable, please point that out.
For archival purposes the fla is attached (in MX NOT MX 2004). Also, here are 3 other threads that also deal with this in a little different way.

Load JPEG Upon Flash Player Version Check
I thought Flash had a built in feature along with the Player checking that could load a static JPEG in place of the movie if the proper Flash Player was not detected. I don't find it in Help or searching this forum. Anyone point me in the right direction?
Need A Code On My Html Page That Will Check For Flash Version
I have just noticed that when I upload my Flash page to the host and people view it with an older Flash Player, my Flash site looks all wrong.
I cant publish it at a lower version because my Flash page will not work properly with the action script I have used.
What I need is a code that I place on my html page that the Flash is embedded in and it checks to make sure the user viewing the page has Flash Player 9 and if not, it will take them to the Flash Player download page or will tell them they require the latest Flash Player and it will direct them to my error page or a html version of the site.
Anyone have any idea how to do this or links to tutorials or samples.
Thanks
Robust Plugin/version Detector?
I am currently using a Flash plugin detector script written in Oreilley's "Flash Hacks" book and authoring in MX using AS 2.0 and had a user get passed the sniffer and end up looking at a blank page (the page that had the flash content).
I need a plugin detector that detects the version as well as if the plugin is installed at all or i get to redesign in html. anyone know of a good one that's cross-platform (mac / PC) and will do as i stated above?

Check For Plugin Solution?
I'm using developing in MX, and I just realized that Netscape doesn't seem to know what to do with my site unless it has the 6 plugin already. I want to detect for the plugin, and then deal with the users who don't have it.
I've looked in the tutorials, and none of them applied to MX. I would have looked back at older posts, but I can't seem to search Flashkit for whatever reason.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

AS3 Version Check
I've just about to make a AS3 version check for my SWF, then it occured to me:

Version-check. What For?
this happens to be a real newbie question.
but at first i have to say, that i know how to check the version and stuff like that. so please don't redirect me to tutorials that handle this.
what should i check the version for? or at least if there's a flash plugin?
doesn't flash automatically lets someone download the plugin if the movie is a later version than the plugin?
or should i check the version because then i'll switch AS functions depending on that? but, if this is the case, do i have to publish my movie as an older version movie?
i think, that when i make a flash6 movie, and someone tries to view it, he will download the plugin so he can use it. either he has an earlier version or no plugin at all. but this is flash's work ... why should i check it?
help me with my missing wisdom
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
