Flash Player Updater

[cyianite]

Hi ,

Im using your product (SWFKIT 3 )for our client project , it really work a lot and I affirm your team for this nice product...

My problem is.. some other pc user can't view our application .. Its because of they dont have flash player install. . cause what they only seen is just a BLACK background.. I tried to put a flash player checker upon loading of the application just to check if they have installed player.. and if its success they will proceed to the program.. But the problem what if they dont have the player... SO my solution is to use your "AutoUpdater" ...

then I put your script :

var autoupdate = getAdditionalFile("AutoUpdate.dll");
dllimport autoupdate stdcall void AutoUpdate_Check(char*, char*, Boolean);
dllimport autoupdate stdcall void AutoUpdate_UICheck(char*, char*);

ActiveXObject.register(autoupdate);
var ax = new ActiveXObject("AutoUpdate.SWFKitAutoUpdate");
ax.updateINI = "update.ini";
ax.appName = "Flash Player Update";
ax.check(true);
---


it returns error ... like


Warning: using undefined variable "Dll"
Warning: unknown method "registerFunction"
Warning: using undefined variable "Dll"
Warning: unknown method "registerFunction"
Warning: using undefined property "updateINI"
Warning: using undefined property "appName"
Warning: unknown method "check"
Warning: using undefined property "appName"


----

I like to know how to use this method and what is update maker.. and also if you have idead whats other solution for this problem...


Thanks...

About the first problem:
if you check the standalone option (operation panel-Output details), the flashplayer is packed with your movie. So even if the end-user doesn't have the flashplayer installed, the program can run.

Concerning the updater problem: you have to add the AutoUpdate.dll file (which you can find in the swfkit3 program folder) to your resources.
When you haven't done this, your program can't find the dll and therefore doesn't recognize any parameters or commands to the dll.

thanks for the reply,

THats what Im thinking that I dont need to install any flash player with the standalone, but how it comes in other end user they dont see anything but black background.. what do you think the problem of our application..


about on AutoUpdate, I already did 0whats in your tutorial (http://swfkit.com/swfkit/doc/manual/node54.html) ,. I include the AutoUpdate.dll that I got in my swfKit folder and put in my resources application. But still the same error..

The reason of the problem may not be that the flash player has not been installed, because without flash player your application will not run at all. Is your application a FLV player? With flash player 9.0.28.0, swfkit 3 cannot play encrypted flv files properly, please download swfkit 3.08, in which the problem has been fixed.
