Use Piece Of URL As Argument When Calling Flash Object
Apr 15, 2009
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.
I have used an object in the past as a function argument, but this was for a plugin that I wrote. Using it in the architecture of a plugin it worked. BUT, this time, I just want to write a normal function, but still use an object to set defaults and pass in changes to those defaults through as a param. Is this possible, or do I have to make this a jQuery function like $.myfunction() ?
If a function with multipe parameters has an event object as one parameter then how do we pass an event argument to that function without using inline function calling?
For example:
Code:
function key_pressed(ev,msg){ var keycode; if (window.event){ ev = window.event;
I am designing a template for File Hosting site but the flash uploader is breaking the design
This is what it looks like
When the button (white box) is clicked it opens a file selecting box
How can i replace that box with image, i tried placing a image over it with help of wmode transparent but when clicked on image flash doesnt open up the file selection box
How this can be done?
Is there any way i can run the flash when clicked on image because this doesnt looks good.
Little detail as i am more a designer than a coder.
how to you use the result of a function as the argument for another function instead of passing the actual function to it. i.e.
function foo2(){}
function foo(func){}
foo(foo2);
This passes foo2 to foo, can I do foo(foo2()) ? i.e. is the difference between whether a function is passed or evaluated dependent on whether you use "()" after the function name?
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>
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?
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.
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.
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 am using the object flash embed instead of the swfobject or flashobject because I am embedding using js innerHTML. Is there a way to loose the dotted border in IE that swfobject fixes? The movie needs no interactivity its just a swf animation.
I am using .each to find each form and attach validationEngine with it. When validationEngine success, i want object of calling/owner form. I am trying this, it is alerting that is is object. But i am not able to access "action" of form using this.action.
I have an object myscript and from within the method validate, i want to call the method init. so is there there anyway that I can call the method init without having to prefix like this: myscript.init();
This is the first time i'm really using javascript objects (well the first time i've written my own one) so the problem is probably a very simple one...
I've got this:
Code:
When i change the country from the dropdown box i get an error "hometown.setCities is not a function" but the thing is that i can call this in other ways eg from the address bar (javascript:hometown.setCities()) and it works perfectly.
I'm having a lot of trouble understanding how to get my targeting working in IE. Let's say I have a <div id="test"> </div> with some form information in between. I use xmlhttpreq to process but I want the information after processing to appear inside the test div. I have it working perfectly with firefox but for the life of me I just can't get it to work with IE. I can only ouput to another DOM object.innerHTML and not the original.
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.
Trying to figure out what was happening in a snippet in the jQuery docs. The snippet I refer to is here , documenting event objects.
The code:
Has me a tad confused. I know that e is an event object that calls keydown event for keycode 64 but what I am unsure of is how it is being triggered. There is no context to it, if you use .trigger() that way is the event called upon the loading of the object? If not when is .trigger() being called?
I am trying to call a ActiveX object from JSP using the ActiveXObject method in javascript. I have a dll filed named Patchgenerator.dll which is registered and assigned a prog id "Patchgenerator.PatchGen.1" which is being passed as an argument to the ActiveXObject method. Below is the code i am trying to execute..
[Code]...
When i write the above code and save it as an html file it works fine..the activex object is created and the methods are called , but when i copy the same code to a file and save it as jsp file under webapps folder under tomcat it doesnt work and reports a javascript error with the error being: Automation server cant create the object at line : var SSOObj = new ActiveXObject("Patchgenerator.PatchGen.1");
From a JS object containig contextReady. The problem is that this within the OnSuccess is not the class but something else (e.g. a window).How can I update the right this.contextReady?
I am using this Browser Plugin call: world = new MTSPlugin( '../obj/main.mtx', '100%', '100%', '', 'simple', ''); in the middle of my page, where I want to load this object. (It is a 3d rendering modul Viewpoint Player)
Now I want to add a browser check, as this plugin runs only in IE. When I dedect that the page is loaded with IE, I am writing via Jquery a class name into my body tag.
I thought, it would work if I do the following:
if($('body').attr('class').length > 1){ world = new MTSPlugin( '../obj/main.mtx', '100%', '100%', '', 'simple', ''); }
But for some reason, the if fails, as it seem that the plugin is called earlier than the jquery browser check, so the class name is not set at this point.
Then I thought, making a function arround and call it onLoad within the body tag. Which has the disatvantage that the MTS Plugin is loading at the worng place on the page.
What I want, is that the call to the object "world = new MTSPlugin( '../obj/main.mtx', '100%', '100%', '', 'simple', '');" is only at a trie condition at the place where it should be...
First of all, sorry for my other post, my first post didn't go through, I didn't get the chance to read the message, so posted again I've got this code:
Code:
var currentURL = event.target.browserWindow.activeTab.url; if (currentURL) event.target.browserWindow.activeTab.url = 'http://www.google.com';
