Hi, I'm having a problem writing a flash detector, and was hoping
someone would help. I had one working that I created with Flash 4, but
it would fetch another webpage after loading so that it knew where to
redirect to. So it looked like:
PHP embeds FLASH ---> load variables from PHP ----> redirects to correct
page.
If FLASH wouldn't load, then javascript or a http refresh header would
send them elsewhere.
I'm trying to use Ming to eliminate the load variables from PHP
portion. That way once the FLASH file loads, it will redirect, and you
won't have to wait for the program to go to the server and load more
variables. Here is the code I'm using:
<brokencode>
<?php
// $load is a variable that is passed in the embed tag ex:
// <embed src=detectflash.php?load=<?=$PHP_SELF?>>
$thisURL = "$load?hasflash=yes";
Ming_setScale(1.0);
// Create a very small movie with a white background.
$m = new SWFMovie();
$m->setBackground(0xff, 0xff, 0xff);
$m->setDimension(18, 18);
// This movie simply redirects to the appropriate page.
$m->add(new SWFAction("getURL('$thisURL', ''); stop();"));
$m->nextFrame();
$m->add(new SWFAction("play();"));
header('Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash');
$m->output();
?>
</brokencode>
So far I've tested this in 3 browsers all on Windows 2000.
IE5 - works just fine.
Opera 5 - works just fine.
Netscape 4.08 - Never redirects.
I added code to write $thisURL to a file so I could see if it is getting
passed correctly, and it is. So there must be a problem with the movie
somewhere. In the getURL() function, I have tried many different things
for the second argument. _self, _parent, _top. None of these makes any
difference. Anyone have any ideas I could try??
