Flash Player Without Playing In Internet Browser
Hello,

My computer has Flash installed but this question is for people who do not have Flash installed (i.e. client). Can a person view a flash SWF file in a Flash Player window outside of their internet browser. I wasn't sure if Flash was installed as an internet app plugin as opposed to a stand alone player. Since I have Flash installed, I have the option to play in Flash Player, I wasn't sure if that option was granted to non-Flash app computer users with Flash Player installed.

Disabling Browser Function Commands
Hi,
In my .fla, I'm assigning different actions to the F1, F2, F3, F4, and F5 function keys.
When these files are viewed in IE and either function key is used, the Internet Explorer Help File (F1) and the Search Companion (F3). Is the way to disable this from happening to add Action Script or adding java script to the html file, or both?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Picure In Internet Explorer Browser
This is maybe a dreamweaver or HTML/javascript problem, but i decided to ask you guys if is it possible to do that with Flash.

I made my Flash site, where i have picture gallery. When i click on a small picture on it, i want it to be open in internet explorer. Ok, i have done that. But i want to make that window to be big as my picture and fixed (to be unresizable). Can someone help me please?

Opening SWF In A New Window In Internet Browser
I've finished my project and would like to get it online. I have my server lined up and a front or splash page up...basically a link that says "enter." How exactly do I format the HTML for the link so it opens the SWF in a new window which can't be resized/maximized? Thanks.

Pop-up Browser Problem In Internet Explorer
I've created a flash file that consists of a button that launches a pop-up browser. Here's the code I attached to the button:

on (release) { getURL ("javascript:spawnWindow('http://www.google.ca/','pop-up window','toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=550,height=400')");
}

I then published the flash in html, opened it in dreamweaver, and attached this base javascript code to the html code between the HEAD tags:

<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

Then, I previewed the html page in the firefox browser and the ie browser. The pop-up window opens just fine in the firefox browser, but when I click the button in ie, I hear a click, but nothing launches. The only effect is that the 'Done' notification icon in the lower left corner of the ie browser still reads 'Done', but the ie icon changes to the 'Error on page' icon.

Exact Size For The Internet Explorer Browser
Hello... I'm about to start a flash movie that'll serve as my website. I was wondering whats the exact pixel dimension I should type into the Movie Properites if I want the movie to fit Internet Explorer. This is because I want the movie to exactly fit when a person checks out my site WITHOUT taking up ALL of the computer screen . Any advice?

Code To Insure SWF Won't Play Over Internet/browser?
I'm working on a piece of software in flash that I want OSX/Windows (and mayhaps others as well) to be able to run.

But this is a desktop app and I absolutely don't want it running over the internet. Or if it is, having it functionally crippled.

I believe you can compile to EXE for a PC, but I'm not sure about Mac.

I don't mind restricting use to a flashplayer and preventing a browswer or allowing it to run in a browser, but crippled when accessed through a website.

The only absolute I've seen is purchasing another software product that compiles to both PC & Mac.

Detecting External Internet Browser Windows With ActionScript
Basically, I have a shockwave movie which, upon reaching the last frame, opens up a web-page in a different internet browser window. I was wondering whether there is there any way that, upon reaching this last frame, I could use ActionScript to 'detect' whether the page is already open in the separate browser window; if it isn't, open up the window as normal, but if it is, do not open up another instance of the window.

Basically, I want there to be no more than one instance of a particular page at any one time. Does anyone have an idea how I could control this? If I haven't explained this very well, I can expand on what I've said.

I realise this might not be the best place to ask, but if this isn't possible in ActionScript, would this be something I could control with a simple Java script?

Many thanks!

Remove .SWF From Temporary Internet Files Upon Browser Exit
INTENTION: I would like to use Flash for my main navigation, as opposed to using CSS, pixel-based images and templates/library items in Dreamweaver. 1) Vector based images look great and can be transformed to any size without losing quality and 2) it would make it easier if update the entire site if all I had to do was replace/override one file as opposed to making a change to a template/library item, which would then require me to re-upload every page that utilized that template/library item.

PROBLEM: SWF files are typically stored and save locally to a user's temporary internet files. If a SWF is updated/replaced without renaming and the user re-visits the site, because the SWF may already be saved to temporary internet files, he/she may not be seeing the most up-to-date version. So my question: is there a way to remove a particular SWF or all SWFs on a page automatically once a user closes out his/her browser or navigates away from the page?

Internet Explorer Browser Problem, Click To Activate?
I seem to be having a problem with IE 7 and displaying my flash, it works fine in Safari and FF.

Code:
on(rollOver){
gotoAndPlay("blurOver");
}
on(rollOut){
gotoAndPlay("blurOut");
}

on (press, release) {
getURL("http://www.rawliquidmedia.co.uk/newsite/wedding/bronzePackage.php", "_self");
}
Basically in IE all 4 packages are blurred, move the cursor over any of them and nothing happens- each one says 'click to activate and use this control' then you click on it and then the picture comes into focus like it should- after you have clicked on a button it works as per normal- roll over it and image comes into focus.

How do i get rid of this click to activate command, the rollOvers work fine in other browsers.

Also whats with the black line down the left and along the top of the boxes, i didnt put that there either

2 QUESTIONS: 1)get Internet Browser 2)htmltext Loads After Image Loads
1) is it possible to check whether the user is using internet explorer, or firefox, opera, etc. /retrieve the browser info?

2) how can i tell a text to load once it's html text has loaded. as in if it had an image tag in the htmlText, and i want the text to size itself [_width = textWidth] but it will do it too early, and i need it to function when the htmlText is loaded.

EDIT: i made a button to go to the second frame when clicked, and the second frame would resize the text. so i clicked it once the image loaded. however the text still went to like 1x1. so it doesnt register an image as text..obviously..soo..how could i make it size itself to the image.

Flash Commands In XML
Hi,

Does anyone know whether its possible to have Flash commands in XML? I want the text "continued" in an XML file to have the following command:

_root.dealWithPages(_root.menu_xml.firstChild,_roo t.menu_xml.firstChild.childNodes[0],"noclick");

but this needs to be in the XML file because the text could appear anywhere in Flash. So something similar to href possibly?

Cheers

HTML Commands Within Flash
How can I make a button in flash which will when someone press it, open a web page called map.dhtml in a frame named "monitor".

Grouping In IF Commands (flash MX)
Hi,

I am having trouble with the IF command:

On the first frame:

this.tempNum = Number((this.tempNum)+1);
play();

On the second frame:

if ((SO.data.fileP+this.tempNum) == this.path) {
// do action...
}

SO.data.fileP is a shared ojbect which has a number with it
eg: SO.data.fileP1, SO.data.fileP2, etc...

So I have made counter to add the number to it, but the IF command wont "group" the two varibles together.

Is there a way of grouping them?

just incase:
SO.data.fileP1 = "hard drive"
this.path = "hard drive"

any help please

Flash Using Javascript Commands?
I am trying to figure this one out. How can I set up a button with a javascript command attached to it to close the browser window? Something simular to this,

window.close();
}
</script>

<a href="#" onClick="MM_close();" true return>Close window</a>

can it be done or is there a simpler way in flash mx.

Any help would be appreciated.

Flash Mx Drawing Commands
I want to create 6 seperate movie clips every time this loop is entered. the next frame, when this loop is entered, i want it to overwrite the contents of the 6 movieclips. (i thought this would happen, since the same mc names are used each time).
this is what I have...

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

for(i = 0; i < 6; i++){//do 6 lines

_root.createEmptyMovieClip ("lines"+i,i);

with ("_root.lines"+i){//draw
lineStyle (1, 0, 100);
moveTo (random(550), random(400));
lineTo (random(550), random(400));
}//draw

}//do 6 lines

}

Is There Any Way To Execute Dos Commands In Flash?
I am wanting to execute a series of dos commands in flash...ie md, rename, etc.

Flash Ignoring Commands
In the website I am constructing I have a button that goes and plays a frame name then it stops just like it should. The problem is when it stops if I click on any of the other buttons it starts to play the animation that it should but for some reason it makes a window I have drawn in a movie clip visible even though every button has code in it to keep it hiddden. The fla can be downloaded at http://www.coderedtragedy.com/sixsitch.fla

because it was too big to attach to the post. If you download it. Click on links then click on visual or news after its done playing the links.

Thanks in advance.

Html To Flash Commands
Hi - I have a flash menu, and html pages in a frameset...

If I move from section to section in the html - how can I tell the flash movie (in the frame: NAV) to move the header to that new section.

The header is a movieclip which is highlighted dependant upon which is the current selection. eg

about me | portfolio | <contact> | site map

contact would be the highlighted section - in flash I just tell the hidden button over it to set the highlight to visible - so how from the html can I target this movie and tell the highlight to be visible???

Thanks

Javascript/HTML Commands To Flash
I made a pretty cool Navigation bar to go along the top of my site, I put it in its own layer and made it transparent so that you can see the text behind it.

This is all fine and dandy, but the effect is... when you click out of the menu, it will close, and since the flash movie is transparent, clicking outside of the movie doens't work within flash.

What I need is to know how to tell my flash movie:
when the mouse is clicked in the browser, to tell the _root level of my movie to play. that is all,

does anyone know the javascript?

Flash MX Commands With Multimedia Builder?
Hi every body
Iâ€™m quite new to Multimedia Builder (the version Iâ€™m using now is 4.9.01). I would like to make some presentation in Flash MX then attach/ embed it to MMB.
The Flash file has some buttons, when clicked it will lead to certain HTML pages:
for example: button1 for page1.html, button2 for page2.html â€¦etc
I would like to have ONLY TWO pages in MMB, the first page loads the Flash animation then when we click a Flash button ( no matter whatever it may be), we shall reach the SECOND MMB PAGE which loads the appropriate HTML page: I.e. button1 for page1.html, button2 for page2.html â€¦etc
I have applied the Flash command : â€œget ULRâ€ but it opens a new window and leads to that page on the Browser WITHOUT closing the first MMB page.
In brief, I would like to ask you, in this case, HOW TO use Flash Action Script to control the MMB project to get the desired purpose.
Thanks very much for your valuable help
