Uh, yeah. Has to be Flash. Unless Quicktime can handle XML, Webservices,
Javascript, load other .swfs, etc.

>>I think that Ice Player need the Plugin to be installed.

Nicolas, Yes, you do have to have the Ice player installed.  I said that
already. :)  And that's OK with the client.

>From what I read about Screenweaver HX, (and I HOPE I am wrong) you
still compile to an .exe file - so this isn't a solution for Internet
Explorer, which is what I am asking for.  Basically, just need the exact
same thing the ice player does, but without the incompatibilities with
Javascript and the Flash 8 player like the Ice player has.  

Thanks anyway,

Jason,

I think what you are looking for is something like
www.screentime.com/mprojector.  Check out
www.screentime.com/software/mprojector/flas.html#flashShapedWindows - pretty
cool!  It allows for non-square and semi-transparent windows.

No, that's not what I'm talking about.  I'm talking about a non-square
shaped flash file, transparent background, that can be dragged around

player allows this as a wrap around Active X for the Flash player, but
it has some incompatibilities with the Flash 8 player.

No, that's not what I'm talking about.  I'm talking about a non-square
shaped flash file, transparent background, that can be dragged around
the browser and outside the browser - our customer wants an odd-shaped
application to sit off to the side outside the browser as a help tool
made in flash. An install for an additional player is OK, and the Ice
player allows this as a wrap around Active X for the Flash player, but
it has some incompatibilities with the Flash 8 player.

Yeah, it can be done with the Flashants Ice player -

It's an ActiveX control you have to install.  

>> I don't think I'd want

Agreed.  It was not my decision to use it, that was before I got here.
All worked well with it until the Flash 8 security model changed and it
wasn't compatible with it.  I'm contacting the vendor, but we will
probably trash this and end up doing it a different way.

do it in an exe, or in a layer with the wmode set, but as a floating
browser controlled window is something I've not ever even heard mention

Yeah, I am wondering if Localconnection won't work because of the same
reasons the Javascript won't work with Flash 8 running in the Ice

Are there no other tools that can do this?  I know Zinc can make it a

RE: [Flashcoders] Transparent independent window (not wmode) 3rd party tools?

2006-06-13 Thread Merrill, Jason
Yeah, I am wondering if Localconnection won't work because of the same
reasons the Javascript won't work with Flash 8 running in the Ice
ActiveX player.  

Are there no other tools that can do this?  I know Zinc can make it a
custom shaped window, but only as an .exe or screensaver - not running
as a wrapper in a browser.

Hi Merrill,

I am not sure fi you are able to use LocalConnection or 
ExternalInterface without  beining the same application. I mean, do you 
know if you can communicatie bi-directionally with multiple Flash 
ActiveX wrappers? I.e. browser <> win32 application? I would think this 
won't be possible, not sure of course! You also have the problem you 
might not be able to trigger the popup from within your website/webpage.


Maybe you can make some sort of notification application which can 
receive notify messages from you server or website, and then show it. 
Something like that should be possible, but most big companies (like the 
one where you work for) don't opening ports on client ports. Ernst&Young 
and Randstad doesn't


Yours,
Weyert de Boer
