Mac - Flash file not loaded in independent flash player

1 New Member
Hi,

I am working on an independent application to play flash files on Mac. I have already done the same for Linux, and it works flawlessly but on mac for some reason flash is not drawing to my window. It is not throwing any kind of error too. I am using Flash player 10, that would mean that I am using the Core Graphics drawing model. I am able to send mouse events to flash and wrote a sample plugin to check if there was a problem in the context that I was sending, but my sample plugin draws properly to the window.

I am getting a call for NPN_InvalidateR ect twice and as a response I send an update Event back to flash. I drew a dummy rectangle to check that my context is correct.

On doing right click on the debug version of the flash player it shows the following message: "Movie not loaded..."Do I need to send a start message or something similar to get it to start playing?

Can anyone give me any idea why the movie is not loaded? I would really appreciate the help, as I have been struggling with it for more than a month now.
I would appreciate any help in this direction.

Thanks a lot
Mugdha

How are you embedding your flash file? You do have it on the internet when it says movie not loaded, right? Take a look at this thread: http://bytes.com/forum/thread699390.html. I think it might be beneficial to your problems.

Also, check out this link: http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/, as it is a great script for running flash movies/files. :)

Hey There, I have been writing some code in C++ that gets a message from a Macromedia Flash Player to launch an application that is associated with a flash button. When the button is pressed, it launches the application, but the app window is never completely in front. The C++ code that I have been using to do this is below: retVal = CreateProcess(NULL,modName,NULL,NULL,FALSE,NULL,NULL,NULL,&si,&pi); hProc = pi.hProcess;

I'm building a game program and I've got a script that loads an external swf, and then duplicates the clip for the user to play. It worked until a few days ago when I reinstalled my OS (Mac OS 10.4.11) to fix an unrelated problem. The strange thing is that I had reinstalled the browser plugin to fix a related problem. Now the code works in the browser, but crashes the IDE and the Flash Player every time. I called Adobe Support but they were no...

I'm trying to embed a flash mp3 player on my website (http://www.cafepress.com/sfclothing), I did post a previous message regarding a windows media player one but I prefer the flash one and I guess it'll have more compatibility with more people. Anyway, what I struggling with is getting it to autoplay (eventually I intend to have it pop up in it's own window so people can still browse my site whilst the audio is playing). Has anyone...

Inserting a Flash (SWF, FLV) file into HTML web page is already an old and familiar thing to all of us. It is a rather non-flexible thing that just to edit some options in the template. However, I did not understand some parameters totally in the HTML tag. These days when I was surfing the Internet I have found some comprehensive introduction to these two tags. I read it and conclude it with my own words; I think it will be useful to us, so I...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
