I tried finding information on the web, but could not, so I was wondering if anyone has some information:
We have made a Flash animation
We have embedded it in a PowerPoint slide
Everything is working on our side
I just want to make sure before I send it to the client that it will work if someone has no Shockwave plugin installed? In other words, does PowerPoint include the "Codec" to view the item when the PowerPoint file is generated?
I tried uninstalling my Shockwave, but for some reason I am unable to, so I am not sure how to test this.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks!

If the playback computer doesn't have the correct plug-in, it won't be able to play the Flash animation. Flash playback doesn't use CODECs in the same sense that WMVs and other movie formats do.

I want to write a basic app so I can upload some images to my personal server and as the CMD+Shift+4 Screen capture method apple offers doesn't let you upload your images I thought I would start from scratch... I've looked around quite a lot on how to make something what lets me grab a selection of my screen (like the crosshair apple offer) and can't find any samples/pointers however I've seen other tools such as gyazo use the exact same capture system apple offer :S... Is it some sort of framework I can access in Xcode or something?
If anyone knows how its done I would be very grateful.
Thanks

You can just run screencapture(1) and capture to a temporary file location which your app then reads.
I was wondering: does an AIR ActiveX Control exist? I want to load an SWF movie inside a Flash ActiveX controller, but the movie was created using Adobe Air and therefore it cannot load some of its dependencies.
I've seen an Air to .EXE wrapper somewhere around the internet, so I think it is possible somehow.
Any clues on this?
Thanks in advance!

I am trying to make a simple application which will store the sound said by user , say on click of record button and will play it back to him/her , say on click of play button.
Can anyone suggest me some appropriate way to do this ??
Thanks,

You can use QuickTime Kit's capture APIs to record a movie of the audio, and QTMovie (from the same framework) to convert it to a more conventional format for audio files and to play back both the intermediate file and the converted file.
There used to be a QuickTime Kit Programming Guide, but it didn't cover capturing and is now gone from developer.apple.com. You should file a bug against the docs.
This answer will work in a Cocoa (Mac) app. If you meant to ask about the iPhone, you should re-tag your question, as the solution will be completely different for a Cocoa app vs. a Cocoa Touch (iPhone) app.
I used direct sound to create an entire internet phone application a few years ago. Your question is far simpler, you won't have to deal with the circular buffer as critically. Direct sound is pretty main stream and you can find a lot of help with it in forums, and it's free!
I am trying to find a way to upload the following flash replay to youtube easily
http://battlestations.mobileweapon.net/history_view.php?hid=274641
I want to do these for a large number of replays from the site. Problem is, I can't download the swf or flv somehow even after trying various flash downloader tools, such as Flashgot firefox extension.
Can anyone enlighten me as to why I can't download the replay for viewing locally, and briefly outline a way to script the uploading to youtube?
try http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/9789 its a greasemonkey script for facebook flash videos. I havent tried it personally but it looks like if you are on facebook you should be able to save the flv file with it
I need to come up with a solution for users to be able to paste an image on to a website, then upload that image on to the web server. I'm not sure what the right solution for this - I am pretty sure javascript is out of the question because I don't think it can handle binary clipboard data (or any clipboard data?)
So, I'm not sure which way to go with this. Is this something possible with a Java applet? Or maybe a Flash SWF? Any other alternatives?
Or this free one (via another StackOverflow question)
You can use pure JavaScript for this, assuming either Chrome or Chrome Frame. Since most other plugins or applets require a specific install action you might as well require installing Chrome Frame as that will fix quite a bit more than just pasting events.
View a live demo of a jQuery plugin that cleanly wraps the HTML Clipboard API. This demo requires the Chrome browser.
Rad Upload (java applet). It's not free, but it is relatively cheap.
