I need to capture webcam images from inside browser. I am planning to use Flash but since am not experienced in it, before jumping into it, I want to ask you experts :
Will Flash ask for Webcam permission every time user refreshes the page ? Isn't there some global security setting to allow a website.
Is it essential to display the webcam feed on the browser to be able to capture it / take snapshot and upload to server. I totally don't want to show live feed on the webpage, all I want is to take snapshots and upload it in the background.
The purpose of above requirement is that we are trying to add proctoring to our online assessment platform, and hence we don't want to reload / ask for permission again every time candidate views a new test page. One alternative can be making the whole site a single page webapp, but definitely that will add quite some overhead.

As we all know that when we minimize the UWP app it goes to suspension. and then again when maximized it is exactly at the same place, for all pages. I want to do the same for specific pages, on my own. meaning that I want to do the same operation for one or more pages, when I switch between pages in my app, without minimizing? when app is minimized, even the videos playing on it pause automatically, and when maximized they play themselves, I want to achieve that functionality when I switch to next page and when I come back to previous page, it should start playing again, like it was suspended. thankyou in advance.
The app I am making plays a video on a url in a webview on a page, I want that when I come back to that page after navigating somewhere else on my app, that webview start playing exactly at the same place. Thats exactly wht happenes when I minimize my app. but i wanna do that without minimizing it.
Also I have tried cahcesize of my frame and set navigationmode of my page to enabled, that just saves the current state, and the media on my page keeps on playing when I navigate to another page, it should pause, but it keeps onplaying
I have developed a very large swf. that will only be accessed in-house. There are over 100 scenes & 10000 frames (I had no idea the project would grow this large). I have developed a navigation system within the swf., but I have found that many users are clicking the forward / back buttons in the browser toolbar (IE8). This is a big issue for me, because the user then has no way to return to the location in the swf. that they were in before hitting the back button. Is there a way to code into the swf. using AS3 to ensure that the browser toolbar is disabled?
Disabling the parts of the user interface that the users are using a lot is a very bad idea.
Instead, simply use the browser buttons for navigation.
SWFAddress let's you do that
You can have deep linking, too. (allows users to send a link of where they are to other people)
Take a look at this answer:
How to make the browser back button work for a Flash-based Website?
I would like to create one website. This website will have behave differently if I am viewing it at a specific event via a kiosk. The kiosk, will just be an iPad. I believe I can figure out how to lock down the iPad to act like a kiosk and just show my website based on this http://www.webascender.com/Blog/ID/447/How-to-Setup-Kiosk-Mode-Lock-Your-iPad-to-Just-One-App#.U9Fx3oBdVX4
But what I am asking is, in code, is there a way to detect that I am in 'kiosk' mode and show different pages? For example, if you are at home(or anywhere that is NOT the event) you should be able to hit my website to find out all about my company and to view your existing profile. You should be able to see these same pages on the 'kiosk'(the iPad while at an event) but you will now see additional pages such as pages dealing with the specific event and payment pages. Vice-versa you might be able to see additional pages on the website while at home that you will not see while in 'kiosk' mode.
I do not know if the solution is tools/language dependent as we have not settled yet on all tools/languages/frameworks we will be using to build the site and so I am open to all but we will definitely have some javascript/css/html.
I believe you will need to write a native app in order to detect whether you are in 'guided access' aka 'kiosk' mode.
Taken from Detect or react to Guided Access?
NSLog(#"Accessabilitiy enabled: %#", UIAccessibilityIsGuidedAccessEnabled() ? #"YES" : #"NO");
if (!UIAccessibilityIsGuidedAccessEnabled()) {
// show something since I'm not in guided access
}
If you want to know when it changes...
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(guidedAccessChanged) name:UIAccessibilityGuidedAccessStatusDidChangeNotification object:nil];
- (void)guidedAccessChanged
{
// do something when guided access changes
}
If you must work with a website then what you can do is write a native app that embeds a UIWebView. This class allows you to show websites within a native app. So, what you could do with this method is pass along the guided access setting to your website so that it can adjust itself accordingly.
If you know the IP address you can direct views using PHP (and probably a host of other programs). Or you can lock the iPad to only open a specific URL (http://mysubdomain.mydomain.com) and only have pages that you want viewed by the kiosk. I'm sure there are a mess of other ways too.
I know this is not a widely favorable feature, but I've had to add a continuous music player to a web project of mine, at a client's insistence. Does anyone have a solution to keep the music playing continuously between pages? The client wants it to auto-play. The solution I have currently uses I-frames, but it's clunky – the pages don't have a unique URL, and the site does not properly come up in thumbnail on social networking sites, because everything is buried in a frame.
So far, I've tried:
A voluntary pop-up window that the user clicks on to start the player. Client did not like this because the music doesn't auto-play. I'm afraid having an automatic pop-up would be hidden by most browsers.
A flash music player that remembers where the user last left off on a song file, and loads from there the next time it is called for – unfortunately there are gaps in the playback (since the player has to be reloaded with every new page,) and the client is not satisfied.
The I-frame solution I have currently.
You could use jquery and ajax to dynamically load in your content ie you have a "container" page which you then use ajax to pull in various content so it looks like you moving to "another" page
I have a music player swf embedded on an html page. Is there any way to have the music continuously play, even when the different html pages are loaded? When a link is clicked, the page is refreshed, also restarting the swf(music).
If the site was AJAX driven, this wouldn't be a problem, but all my pages are static. I suppose I could put the entire body in an iframe, but there has to be a better option. I am certainly open to the idea of using ajax here, but I do not have much ajax experience. Any ideas?
Ajax is really not that hard to learn, use it.
If you reload another page or the same page with a normal link, you will lose your current status in your embedded player. So you either have to use a non-standard link-mechanism, separate your player from the page or save your current status on change of the page. Your options basically are:
Use Ajax and never actually load a new page, but only new content (<- best solution, imho)
Use the standard link mechanism, but do it in an iframe, the player runs in a parent page (I agree with you, that wouldn't be nice)
Load the player in a new Window, put it in the background or something. This might be better than the iframe-solution, but you might get some difficulties with popup-blockers. Remember to close your popup when the user leaves your page.
Save the status of the player in a cookie whenever a link is clicked. On pageload check for the cookie and continue playing at the saved position. This will result in small breaks during playback and you need to be able to interact with the music player.
