actionscript 3 - Turn off application temporarily from flash -


i have been asked figure out way turn off running application on host computer when flash application running in browser, seemingly difficult task have thought of few possible ways achieve , ask approach best.

the way see these possibilities

  1. have flash application create cookie program checks , if detected, program running on computer turn off other application.
  2. have program running on host computer listening on specific port , when proper string sent fx. through use of actionscript sockets, program turn off application temporarily.
  3. create program sniffing network traffic , if swf in question being downloaded, turn off other application temporarily (this seems me least viable approach, not sure possible effectively)

the reason need this, because flash application need access webcamera of host computer, doubles motion detecting camera means camera locked while motion detection software running. need turn off motion detection software, grab picture in flash, save picture , start motion detection again.

am missing super simple approach? how achieve this? in advance answers.

tbh don't think you'll succeed in this, unless create air app (granted, didn't spend brain power on thinking solutions). flash player restricting on can , cannot do. externalinterface replacement of fscommand, considered obsolete, btw. allows communicate swf container. js (and maybe vbscript?) though.

however, if turns out need create air app, can use nativeprocess allows run application on host. instance, if you'd want run java .jar this:

var javaexecutable : file = new file(); javaexecutable.nativepath = '/path/to/java/';  var processarguments : vector.<string> = vector.<string>([     '-jar',     '/path/to/jar/',     'foo' ]);  var process : nativeprocessstartupinfo = new nativeprocessstartupinfo(); process.executable = javaexecutable; process.arguments = processarguments;   var shell : nativeprocess = new nativeprocess(); shell.addeventlistener(nativeprocessexitevent.exit, onexitevent); shell.addeventlistener(progressevent.standard_output_data, onstdoutputdataevent); shell.start(process);

very important note: (emphasis mine)

the nativeprocess class , capabilities available air applications installed native installer (extended desktop profile applications).

the documentation of error mentioned in title says if commands out of sync; can't run command now in client code, calling client functions in wrong order. this can happen, example, if using mysql_use_result() , try execute new query before have called mysql_free_result(). can happen if try execute 2 queries return data without calling mysql_use_result() or mysql_store_result() in between. from here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/commands-out-of-sync.html but in first query not fetching data mysql database, inserting. , in second query getting data database. here code $connection = mysqli_connect("localhost","username","password","tbl_msgs"); if(mysqli_connect_errno($connection)) { die("failed connect mysql: " . mysqli_connect_error()); } $query = "insert users (total_comments, total_views) values ({$total_comments}, {$total_views});"; $query .= "insert msgs (no...

linux - Does gcc have any options to add version info in ELF binary file? -

i mean whether gcc can insert source code version infor elf binary section or similar. not want change source file, add info gcc option in makefile. you can emit version info text file, turn text file object file statically link executable. the first step simple have write code: script or write version info in format plain text file. write makefile rule produce version.o version.txt, using objcopy . you'll have object file 2 useful symbols defined in it: beginning , end of textual version info. add generated object executable, , you'll able access version 2 ways: running strings on binary, or writing code in application print version string (you'll need declare start , end symbols variables in header file).

i'm using named queries fetch entities database using jpa , hibernate , came across puzzling me: how come there no default implementations of javax.persistence.parameter interface? i rather impressed how @staticmetamodel used criteriabuilder in jpa2 meaning type safety , don't have mess around setting string names. wanted apply similar of jpa1 ejb's i'm working on: dealergroup_.class: public dealergroup_ { public parameter<integer> id = new parameterimpl<integer>("id"); /// etc... } dealergroupfacade.class: // ... public dealergroup fetch(integer id) { typedquery<dealergroup> query = em.createnamedquery("dealergroup.fetchbyid", dealergroup.class); query.setparameter(dealergroup_.id, query); return query.getsingleresult(); } // ... i surprised find there no implementations of parameter interface - of course, implement myself absence makes me suspicious may mistake using in way? should implementing parameter...
