Mac - Flash file not loaded in independent flash player

[mugdhajain]

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_InvalidateRect 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. :)
