Capturing Onclick Event For Flash Object?
May 7, 2010
Probably covering well trodden ground here but so far I haven't found any reliable solution and "it can't be done" seems crazy. Here goes:I have some Flash and non-flash banners that are to be embedded into my page - all managed by a simple CMS. The Flash movies are not created by me as they are for 3rd Party advertisors, and I do not want to be doing any Flash programming myself as it's not my thing and I don't have the resource to do it. As with the JPEG/GIF files - I just want to be given the file and then embed it.
What I want to do is produce some MI based upon when the various banners are clicked - things like how many clicks and who clicked them (users are logged into the web site so I can track them). Simple enough for JPEG/GIF banners capturing the onclick event but for Flash it seems that the Flash movie prevents (or overrides) the onclick event from registering.This seems crazy! I want my application logic (in this case logging user activity) to be independant of the media content - especially as I am not in control of the media content.Googling and experimentation shows that for IE I can seemingly use "onfocus" but this is not very satisfactory and of course I need a cross browser solution.This seems like such a simple concept that at the time of specifying the requirements it didn't occur to me that this might not be possible.... but it seems that I may be wrong!

I can't set onclick event properly for OBJECT (flash) element properly. onclick just don't bubble outside flash object. Could this be caused by AS getUrl() function?
I tried to attach thru .htc, tried transparent IFRAME on top of object, etc. Nothing seems to work.
Is there any reasonable way to attach onclick to OBJECT element or flash movie by using JS or plain HTML? Should I do something for event bubbling?

I just want to understand the concept of event bubbling, capturing and delegation. I have read a lot about them but still unable to fully understand them (capturing, bubbling, delegation).

My background is C++ and C#. Using basic selectors and filters in jQuery is not a problem for me. My problem is finding the right jQuery code to capture a live html page and assign an object which contains all the html text I just captured... then I can use the object to apply basic selector and filter functions to create another page.

Is it possible to capture the domain change event OR domain of the target site in javascript? To elaborate, suppose I am on my site (www.mydomain.com) and if I type www.someotherdomain.com in the address bar, I want to capture the target URL/domain i.e. someotherdomain.com in the javascript code of my site (mydomain.com). I am trying to call sign-off function of my site upon customer navigation to some other site without loggin off. I can not use body/window onUnload function because I have a common layout JSP that would be reloaded for each and every page. So I am trying to capture the URL/domain of target site and check if it is different from teh current domain; Then only I will call my sign-off function to kill the customer session.

How this can be done?
Is there any way i can run the flash when clicked on image because this doesnt looks good.

I need a code that when a button or image is clicked then a div's width and height are changed. I've managed to get a few codes that does this, but the real problem is that, the contents of the div is an embedded flash file and i thought that by setting the flash width and height to 100% then the flash would fit to the new size of the div, but it just didn't work. I need a code that when a button is clicked then the div's and the flash's width and height are changed.
Please have a look at the temp website latinunit net / temp / , you will understand where I am coming from. On the right hand side I have a flash chat in a div , div is controlled by a script that allows it to follow the scrollers up and down. My goal is to add a little button in the same div that says expand or maximize so when clicked the the div expands as well as the flash file.

I have a Flash movie on a web page and I want to send parameters to it with JavaScript to have it go to a selected frame. The AS3 code receives its information via an ExternalInterface API. The following code parses the URL argument (?page=x) and I want to send the value (x) to Flash. Unfortunately, when creating the objMovie variable, it is always undefined, therefore getFlashMovie is undefined and Flash never receives the callback. Thinking that it was because the flash movie is not loaded yet, I created a button to call callToActionscript, and when I click the button, I get the same error.
(getFlashMovie("myFlashMovie") is undefined)
Also,
if (params)
always returns true, whether there are parameters or not. I don't understand that, either.
The code follows:
<script >
$(document).ready(function() {
var params=getQueryParameters();
if(params) {
callToActionscript(params[0]);
}});
function getFlashMovie(movieName) {
var isIE = navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1;
var objMovie = (isIE) ? window[movieName] : document[movieName];
alert(objMovie); //Always return undefined
return objMovie;
} function callToActionscript(page) {
var myMovie=getFlashMovie("myFlashMovie").sentToActionscript(page);
} function getQueryParameters() {
var query = window.location.href.split('?')[1];
//query won't be set if ? isn't in the URL
if(!query) {
return { };
} else{
var param = query.split('=');
} return param[1];
}
</script>

I am having trouble changing the value of a flash object using JS in IE. The flash code is below
<object id="FlashID" classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="721" height="423">
<param name="movie" id="movie" value="../../flash/world.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">

Within my site I have the following code:-
Code:
<form>
<button onClick="changeVideo(2)" type="button"/>
</form>
<object id="videoPlayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.mysite.com/videoplayer.swf">
[code]....
By default when my site loads the flash file gets the value of currentItem from Flashvars and does what it needs to do with this value. The flash file in question is just a basic video player and the id of the video to be played is retrieved from flashvars.
However I want users to now be able to click the button in my form and then the value of flashvars in my videoPlayer object will change to the value passed in the changeVideo() function i.e. in the above example value="currentVideo=1" will become value="currentVideo=2".
That's the easy part I think but what I then need to do is get the flash file itself to load this video without a page refresh but I have no idea how to get the flash file to recognise this value once it has already loaded. What exactly are my best options here?:-
1. Reload the flash component via ajax every time a user selects a new video i.e. every time changeVideo() is fired?

I want to make it so that when I click on something, it changes what document.onclick does.
This is a simplified version of what I'm trying to do:
Code:
<div id="clickme" onclick="document.onclick = function(){ alert ('This should not be alerted on the first click'); }">Click here</div>
However, as you'll notice, the alert box shows up on the first click as well. The only way I have been able to get around this behaviour is to have the first onclick execute a timer that will then set the document.onclick after 1ms, however this seems very messy to me.

Is this possible? Basically I need to grab all the flash objects on the page (done) and then set the wmode to transparent so it doesn't mess up my DHTML menu.

I'm trying to make a quick and dirty mp3 player that plays whatever mp3 is in the URL, for example [url] would open the SWF mp3 player (I chose this one for its simplicity[url]) and play that song. However, nothing I've tried works. Could someone take a look at my code ? Please note that downloading the mp3 through newwindow() works perfectly.

Does anybody encountered this problem ? My purpose is to change the source of a flash object from param_src = window.location.search.substring(1)
so the essential code is something like this:
command = '<object ... src="' + param_src + '" ... TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" ...</object>'
document.write(command);
This works on FIREFOX but IE keeps playing the same file instead of playing a new one !
I have tried to add the no-cache meta-tags in the header but it still doesn't work.

is it possibile to detect and prevent through javascript the opening of a new window caused by a embedded flash object? In the html code this embedded object resides within a given div with id.
I would want to know about it because every time I open the page, the flash embedded object opens another window, and it is a little bit noisy.
Does exists a solution for that?

currently on our site we have and expanding <div> that responds to both the onmouseover and onmouseout events. It works wonderfully.
The UX people now would like the expanding <div> to open with the onclick event and then as soon as the mouse leaves the expanded div, it would close. I have tried using the onmouseout event in conjunction the onclick event but it does not work (the div persists).

Code:
<script ... javascript >
document.onmousemove=(hit_test);
function hit_test(evt)
{
if (!evt) evt = window.event;
if (evt) document.getElementById("a").innerHTML = evt.clientX;
}
</script >
which works nicely;
I understand that the 'event' object is a globally accessible object in IE but not in Mozilla; instead in Mozilla the 'event' object is sent, by default, as the first parameter in a call to a function; is this true? ...
