Hi list,
I'm looking to use the ExpressInstall feature with Geoff's FlashObject
in a fla that preload content and is set to export classes in frame 5.
As Geoff explain, you must to use the ExpressInstall class and insert
a little snippet in frame 1, but in my case I can't use classes before
frame 5.
I want to ask you if you know an alternative form or some easy
workaround for this.
btw, I convert the class to a script and it's working for me, but I
want to know is there some easy way.
Here is my solution (a conversion of the Geoff's class):
Put the following script in frame one and let your classes to export
in another frame than one:
-------------------------------------
stop();
if (_root.MMplayerType == undefined) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
var updater:MovieClip;
var hold:MovieClip;
loadUpdater = function() {
System.security.allowDomain("fpdownload.macromedia.com");
updater = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("expressInstallHolder", 10000000);
updater.installStatus = installStatus;
hold = updater.createEmptyMovieClip("hold", 1);
updater.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (typeof hold.startUpdate == 'function') {
loadInit();
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
var cacheBuster = Math.random();
hold.loadMovie("http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/swf/autoUpdater.swf?"+
cacheBuster);
}
loadInit = function() {
hold.redirectURL = _root.MMredirectURL;
hold.MMplayerType = _root.MMplayerType;
hold.MMdoctitle = _root.MMdoctitle;
hold.startUpdate();
}
installStatus = function(statusValue) {
if (statusValue == "Download.Complete") {
// Installation is complete. In most cases the browser window
that this SWF
// is hosted in will be closed by the installer or manually by
the end user
} else if (statusValue == "Download.Cancelled") {
// The end user chose "NO" when prompted to install the new
player
// by default no User Interface is presented in this case. It
is left up to
// the developer to provide an alternate experience in this case
// feel free to change this to whatever you want, js errors are
sufficient for this example
getURL("javascript:alert('This content requires a more recent
version of the Macromedia Flash Player.')");
} else if (statusValue == "Download.Failed") {
// The end user failed to download the installer due to a
network failure
// by default no User Interface is presented in this case. It
is left up to
// the developer to provide an alternate experience in this case
// feel free to change this to whatever you want, js errors are
sufficient for this example
getURL("javascript:alert('There was an error in downloading the
Flash Player update. Please try again later, or visit macrmedia.com to
download the latest version of the Flash plugin.')");
}
}
loadUpdater();
--------------------------------------------
If you know some other way, I'll like to hear about it
Best,
