Run Flash

[marcoscdoni]

Hello Salvador. Do you know if it is possible to enable flash execution in version 85.3.12.0?

[salvadordf]

Yes, it should be possible if you install the Adobe Flash Player PPAPI plugin and set GlobalCEFApp.FlashEnabled to TRUE before the GlobalCEFApp.StartMainProcess call in the DPR file.

However, Adobe announced that it's no longer supported and they even recommend uninstalling it.

Google also annouced that they will stop supporting it in Chromium 88 which will be released in a few days :

Hi does cef4 reads mms.cfg to enable the flash domain and play the flash?
is it anyway to play a flash game?

[salvadordf]

CEF4Delphi is only a CEF wrapper and it doesn't read the mms.cfg file.
I also searched that file name in the CEF and Chromium sources and I couldn't find it.
I guess the Adobe Flash plugin is the only one reading it.

Yes. You can play flash games if you install the Adobe Flash plugin.

But i have installed the flash ppapi and everything else in my pc.
Does cef4 with delphi can play a page with flash embed?

Code: Select all

Chromium1BeforePluginLoad

if    (CompareText(mimeType, 'application/x-shockwave-flash') = 0) then
    begin
      pluginPolicy := PLUGIN_POLICY_ALLOW;
      aResult      := True;
      exit;
    end;

but appliction crash
also i have this in project view

Code: Select all

procedure CreateGlobalCEFApp;
begin
  GlobalCEFApp                     := TCefApplication.Create;
  GlobalCEFApp.LogFile             := 'debug.log';
  GlobalCEFApp.LogSeverity         := LOGSEVERITY_INFO;
  GlobalCEFApp.cache               := 'cache';
  GlobalCEFApp.EnablePrintPreview  := True;
  GlobalCEFApp.FlashEnabled :=true;
  GlobalCEFApp.DisableFeatures := 'WinUseBrowserSpellChecker';
end;

I did a quick test with the simplebrowser2 demo on Windows 10.

I only added this line in the DPR file :

Code: Select all

GlobalCEFApp.FlashEnabled := True;

Then I navigated to this website to check if Flash was installed correctly :
https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html

I already had the PPAPI Adobe Flash Player plugin installed in Windows and that page detected it.
Then I searched for some flash games and I could play for a while. Some websites are showing some warnings about Chrome no longer supporting flash but other games worked fine.

For example :
https://www.minijuegos.com/juego/ludo-hero

Perhaps the code in the TChromium.OnBeforePluginLoad is the cause of this issue.

Thanks for your reply
I get error Flash is out of date i try your example i only added
GlobalCEFApp.FlashEnabled := True;
on simplewebbrowser2
is not working

also BriskBard browser is not working is it any possible to make BriskBard work with flash in feature?

Adobe slipped a pig in the latest versions of flash, so you need to roll back the date on your computer or install older flash version. At the moment, it is more reliable not to use the system flash, but to put pepperflash.dll to the application directory and specify in the code

Code: Select all

GlobalCEFApp.FlashEnabled := false;
GlobalCEFApp.CustomFlashPath := ExtractFilePath(Application.ExeName);

To automatically start flash specify this

Code: Select all

chromium1.AlwaysAuthorizePlugins := true;
chromium1.AllowOutdatedPlugins := true;
chromium1.RunAllFlashInAllowMode := true;

If you have a 32 bit application use this dll
https://dllsearch.ru/ru/dll/pepflashplayer32_32_0_0_238.dll
For 64-bit app use this dll
https://dllsearch.ru/ru/dll/pepflashplayer64_32_0_0_238.dll
I checked them on my computer, they work well. Just from the official site is no longer available to download, so I give these links.
