hello all, this problem is making me sick, when a GUI with a ShockwaveFlash object is running, i cant run another GUI with ShockwaveFlash object at the same time, when i run the second GUI i get the message that the var is not an object and i can't use "with":

$oFlash = ObjCreate("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash")
$oAutoItError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", "COMError")
$FlashCtrl = GUICtrlCreateObj($oFlash, -1, 0, 852, 600)
    With $oFlash
        .Movie = @scriptDir & '\movie.swf'
        .bgcolor = "#aaaaaa"
        .ScaleMode = 0
        .wmode = "transparent"
        .wmode = "opaque"
        .zoom(50)
        .Menu = False
        .AlignMode = 0
    EndWith

D:\Projects\SWF Movie.au3 (86) : ==> Only Object-type variables allowed in a "With" statement.:
With $oFlash
With ^ ERROR

but if the first GUI is closed, the second never works again and i receive the same message up there, untill i restart Windows, i thought that the object is still created because when i run FlashPlayer Installer i get this message: (Attached with the topic down there).


but im sure the GUI process is not running, and there is no other flash objects in any windows are running, i found somewhere.. that making $oFlash = 0 will delete the object, so i put this command before the exiting command, but nothing changed, and i'm sure there is no errors with my simple script, any help please?

Would you use objGet to use a second instance?

[water]

Do you get any error message by your COM error handler?

[SYRAU3]

here is the full script:

AutoIt        expandcollapse  popup

#NoTrayIcon
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <IE.au3>
Global $oFlash
Global $fError = False
_IEErrorHandlerRegister()

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Close")
$hGUI = GUICreate("READER", 850, 625)
GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF)
$oIE = _IECreateEmbedded()
$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 0, 0, 850, 600)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_HIDE)
$oFlash = ObjCreate("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash")
$oAutoItError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", "COMError")
$FlashCtrl = GUICtrlCreateObj($oFlash, -1, 0, 852, 600)
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKHCENTER + $GUI_DOCKWIDTH)
GUICtrlCreateGraphic(0, 600, 850, 1)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x000000)
With $oFlash
.Movie = @ScriptDir & 'file.swf'
.bgcolor = "#aaaaaa"
.ScaleMode = 0
.wmode = "transparent"
.wmode = "opaque"
.zoom(50)
.Menu = False
.AlignMode = 0
EndWith
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)



While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
  Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
   _Close()
EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _Close()
$oFlash.Stop()
$oFlash = 0
Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Close
Func COMError()
$fError = True
EndFunc   ;==>COMError

for example, it gives me the same error when Yahoo Messenger or WIndows lIve messenger is running! or when the saame script runs twice, i'm not sure this problem is in Windows XP too, but i used 2 different Windows 7 versions, and i got the same error!!

You could test if Flash is already running. If yes, connect to it, if no, create the application:

$oFlash = ObjGet("", "ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash")
If @error Then $oFlash = ObjCreate("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash")

[SYRAU3]

the problem is still alive:

i checked if it the object is already created and i replaced "with" with the vars directly, the same problem, the object is not being created!

EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _Close()
$oFlash.Stop()
$oFlash = 0
Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Close
Func COMError()
$fError = True
EndFunc   ;==>COMError

sometimes i can run Flash Player installer and it fixes the problem, but that's not available all the time!

You register the IE COM error handler by calling _IEErrorHandlerRegister(). Then you overwrite the COM error handler by this line:

$oAutoItError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", "COMError")

The error handler you call does nothing.
You need something like this:

AutoIt        expandcollapse  popup

#NoTrayIcon
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <IE.au3>
Global $oFlash
Global $fError = False
$oError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", "COMError")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Close")
$hGUI = GUICreate("READER", 850, 625)
GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF)
$oIE = _IECreateEmbedded()
$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 0, 0, 850, 600)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_HIDE)
$oFlash = ObjGet("", "ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash")
If @error Then
$oFlash = ObjCreate("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash")
EndIf
$FlashCtrl = GUICtrlCreateObj($oFlash, -1, 0, 852, 600)
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKHCENTER + $GUI_DOCKWIDTH)
GUICtrlCreateGraphic(0, 600, 850, 1)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x000000)
  $oFlash.Movie = @ScriptDir & 'file.swf'
  $oFlash.bgcolor = "#aaaaaa"
  $oFlash.ScaleMode = 0
  $oFlash.wmode = "transparent"
  $oFlash.wmode = "opaque"
  $oFlash.zoom(50)
  $oFlash.Menu = False
  $oFlash.AlignMode = 0

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)


While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
  Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
   _Close()
EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _Close()
$oFlash.Stop()
$oFlash = 0
Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Close
Func COMError()
    ConsoleWrite("err.number is: " & @TAB & $oError.number & @CRLF & _

Yes, you are right, this is what the console returned:

err.number is:     0
err.windescription:    0
err.description is:     0
err.source is:     0
err.helpfile is:     0
err.helpcontext is:     0
err.lastdllerror is:     0
err.scriptline is:     0
err.retcode is:     0


even so, the problem is still alive

Please help.. BIG MINDS!

[water]

What version of AutoIt do you run?

[SYRAU3]

AutoIt Version: 3.3.6.1

[wakillon]

May be it's Flash Player who is not correctly installed or updated...

Try to Uninstall Flash Player with their official unInstaller.
restart your PC in safe mode
and install latest version.

[water]

I modfied my code in post #7. I hope it will now return some useful error information.
Could you please re-run my code and post the result?

I solved the big stupid problem thank you, it was because of the flash player checking func, i had to use ProcessWaitClose("") not to create the object while flash player is installing is the silent mode.

thanks for your help MR. water, and everyone

If RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\READER", "") = "1" Or @error Then
        FileInstall("fpax103.exe", @TempDir & "\fpax103.exe", 1)
        Run(@TempDir & "\fpax103.exe /install")
        ProcessWaitClose("fpax103.exe")
        RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\READER", "", "REG_SZ", "0")
    EndIf

Godspeed.

Here is another thread using Flash player.
Could you please replace all occurrences of "ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash" in your with "ShockwaveFlash" and test again.

[water]

Oh, I'm glad you could solve your problem

[wakillon]

Flash playes is installed perfectly, this is what the console returned:

so it was well Flash Player who was not correctly installed !
Use RunWait instead of Run !
