Hi all, I have been experimenting with embedded flash objects to see what the possibilities are for a hypothetical flash-mode for conkeror. I know this is a topic of interest for some people, so I thought I would post a repl session showing the basics of the standard flash plugin api. I am using the MozRepl extension to do this experimentation, where "repl>" is the MozRepl prompt.
Step 1: browse to http://homestarrunner.com/ in conkeror Step 2: connect to conkeror with MozRepl === begin paste === repl> repl.enter(conkeror) [object Object] — {XPCOMUtils: {…}, wrappedJSObject: {…}, conkeror: {…}, loaded_modules: {…}, loading_modules: {…}, module_after_load_functions: {…}, pending_loads: {…}, ...} repl> w = window_watcher.activeWindow [object ChromeWindow] — {repl: undefined, minibuffer_input_mode_indicator: {…}, current_buffer_input_mode_change_hook: {…}, minibuffer_mode_indicator: {…}, current_buffer_mode_change_hook: {…}, keyboard: {…}, buffer_dom_content_loaded_hook: {…}, ...} repl> w.navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"] [object MimeType] — {description: "Shockwave Flash", enabledPlugin: {…}, suffixes: "swf", type: "application/x-shockwave-flash"} repl> b = w.buffers.current [object Object] — {constructors_running: 0, window: {…}, configuration: {…}, element: {…}, browser: {…}, enabled_modes: {…}, local_variables: {…}, ...} repl> b.document.embeds.length 2 repl> b.document.embeds[0].src "http://homestarrunner.com/welcome.swf"; repl> b.document.embeds[1].src "http://homestarrunner.com/main_nav.swf"; repl> e = b.document.embeds[0] function() {…} repl> e.Rewind() repl> e.LoadMovie(0,"http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail195.swf";) repl> e.PercentLoaded() 18 repl> e.PercentLoaded() 20 repl> e.PercentLoaded() 40 repl> e.TotalFrames() 3170 repl> e.TCurrentFrame("/") 217 repl> e.StopPlay() repl> e.TCurrentFrame("/") 297 repl> e.Play() repl> e.IsPlaying() true repl> e.TCurrentFrame("/") 742 repl> e.GotoFrame("500") repl> e.Play() repl> e.GetVariable("$version") "LNX 9,0,31,0" repl> e.StopPlay() repl> === end paste === Everything here is standard and should work with any basic flash embed. However, this is *not* the way to programmatically control embedded video players like youtube-player. Those are not so trivial because movie-playback is controlled by internal logic of the player program, rather than by the flash api. I have experimented a bit with youtube-player and I would be happy to share what I have learned if people are interested. It does not seem like full control over movie playback is possible, but it is a very complex program so I could have missed something. I will end this post with a question. I posted yesterday about a method to regain focus from a flash plugin. Now can anybody figure out how to focus a flash plugin without using the mouse? -- John Foerch _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list Conkeror@mozdev.org https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror
