Flash Transparency Issue

I am working on a site and it's home page is done all in
flash. From that main flash piece there is a button that once
clicked should load an external swf that contains a video clip.
That external swf has the transparency turned on.
The external swf does load but I cannot actually see it. I
know it has loaded because I can hear the audio of the video clip.
I can use the same code on a page that is strictly html and it
works fine.
I assume that the external transparent swf is loading up
behind the main swf. Has anyone else come across this before? Is
there a know issue of overlaying a transparent swf over another
swf?

your post is confusing - the flash stage is transparent by
default - so "having transparency turned
on" is hard to understand as this isn't a menu or button
option to have it off or on.
besides audio - what else is there? and if nothing then you
wouldn't see it anyway - sorry if i
missed the point.
What is your loadMovie code? are you loading into a level or
movie clip?
hope this helps.

  • Transparency Issues with PSD files in FCP 7

    I'm having some weird file layer transparency issues with FCP 7. I'm working on a project that's made up entirely of graphics drawn in Photoshop CS5. They Photoshop settings were done to match an HDTV 1080i (16:9) sequence in FCP. In FCP, the pixels were set to square, field dominance to none, frame rate to 29.97 and compressor is Apple ProRes 422.
    I exported my PSD files out of Photoshop, with each layer being exported to its own file. In general, things were fine, but there were a few files where you could see the outline of the character against the background, but mind you that this is only visible once the video is rendered out in the FCP timeline. Nothing is visible in Photoshop, nor is it visible while viewing from the Browser in FCP. I told this to the artist and he went back and made corrections, making sure everything was on a transparent background, but the result was still the same - once I rendered the graphics out in FCP, these edge lines were visible.
    I then went back into Photoshop, opened all the files that were giving me trouble, clicked on the "foreground color" and changed it to a color other than white, then back to white and hit ok. That seemed to work - even when rendered out, I was getting no artifacts, until I tried enlarging the graphics over 100%.
    Also, with some of the same graphics, I was trying to layer them so that a guy was in the foreground with other people and a van behind him in the background. Once again, no problem in Photoshop, but once brought into FCP, the background people were actually being displayed over the main foreground character.
    I'm pretty baffled - what to do? I'll attach a photo of the weird lines around the characters. It might be hard to see at this size, but if you download and enlarge it to 300% or so, you'll see what I mean.

    Just saw that Adam's original post was an older one.  Will keep this here anyway to maybe help the most recent poster.

    Adam, did you try what David said about pointing to the root folder?  Did that work?
    When I copy the SD card, I name a new folder on my hard drive something specific, like Smith Wedding.  Then I copy everything inside the SD card to that new folder.  The first level inside my new folder now has folders for
    AVF_INFO
    PRIVATE
    and on down from there.  When you open Log and Transfer, point it to the Smith Wedding folder (of course whatever you have named yours).
    ClipWrap2 also works great to convert the files beforehand if you want.
    What camera are you using?  I have the Sony NX30 and it was giving me fits because the .mts files don't ingest if the clips are longer than 11 min. My problem is that I'm still on FCP 6.0.6.  I think 7.0.3 fixed that.  But I did find enough work-arounds to keep the camera. 
    This is a link to the full discussion if you are interested.

  • Flash Player Issue with Windows 8.1 Professional

    Hi guys,
    I'm currently having issues with Flash Player on Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 8.1. It seems that the Flash Player has been disabled when I access http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html.
    However, when I logged off the my domain account and use my local account, I'm able to test Flash Player.
    Therefore, the only thing I can think of is the Group Policy that is blocking the Flash Player as I've resetted IE settings on my domain account.
    Hopefully you guys are able to solve this mystery.
    Thanks!!

    Go to control panel and go to program and features and uninstall existing adobe player
    and adobe flash player activex both....
    Then select windows 8 and flash player  from here http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    Install and check..

  • InDesign CS2-generated PDF & feather effect/transparency issues

    I am at my wit's end. I received a client's PDF file created to my specs (same ones we've used for 5 years). I am having massive flattened transparency issues. I am currently using Trueflow version 3, a rip which does not support live transparency; therefore, my distiller settings require that transparency be flattened. There are some horrible results that I can't rectify on my end. There is stitching showing (and outputting to the plate!) where she has placed .psd files on some pages. There is also a problem with feathered objects (which are linked photos) - they look just fine in the document but when exported and flattened, there is a white box behind the pictures instead of the soft feathered look.
    When I exported her CS2 file using Acrobat 5 instead of 4, the effect is fine, but - my rip kicks it out. When I export to my specs, the PDF has the above print issues --
    I want to clarify that I always view print ready PDF files using output and overprint preview -- this is not a preview issue -- it is a definite file & export & resulting print issue.
    I would love to be able to assist my client -- this is a rush job. If anyone has encountered this and has a feeling what may be causing it, please let me know -
    Also - I do not have any software to correct this issue -
    Thanks in advance -

    Peter -- I am looking over those articles now. Here is the problem -- we do not print from the application
    File > Print, and under Output, choose Composite CMYK, and CHECK the “Simulate Overprint” checkbox. Under Advanced, select your all-raster flattener.
    I do not have her entire document -- only a couple of the problem children.
    I suppose a workaround would be to (if I had her files) see if I could print as a postscript and distill it to a PDF -- or print to a postscript and send that into Trueflow to see if it will accept it --
    However, I did receive a warning that by creating that high res setting with the slider all the way to the left, it would rasterize the whole page --
    Now, I can already do that in just one step by opening the PDF in photoshop at a very high resolution and flattening it --
    I simply hate having to go that route when we have type on the page too -- I think my issue is a lack of proper equipment -- we don't like to rasterize if we can help it -
    Since this job is a rush, I may have no choice but to do that on those pages -
    That info is helpful but in reality is a longer way of accomplishing the same thing --

  • Can Anyone help with an Illustrator transparency issue?

    I created a logo in Illustrator which includes an imported Photoshop psd file with a transparent background. The transparency behaves properly in Illustrator, but as soon as I place it in In Design or open it in photoshop the graphic shows up on a white box/background (the rest of the elements in the logo remain transparent, as they should be). And btw-the greyscale version of this same logo has no transparency issues.

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    it is part of an entire suite of logos that are all vector based Illustrator files
    No, it is not. It contains a raster image, so it is not "all vector" regardless of its being assembled in Illustrator.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    The EPS file will not handle transparency.
    EPS supports "transparency" in 1-bit raster objects. It also supports clipping paths, which is how this particular logo would have been handled in earlier times (assuming one insists on the simple grads being raster).
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    What kind of file do you save and place in ID - should be an AI - is it?
    InD doesn't really import AI content. It only imports PDF content of an .ai file (if any).
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    I'm on a time crunch
    Take Scott's earlier advice. Especially given that you are compiling a collection of (presumably) reuseable logo files, this should be re-created as entirely vector content. That mark should take no more than a few minutes to redraw. Simply by including the raster element (which is primary element, by the way), you are obviating the core advantage of vector artwork (resolution independence) to begin with. So if you insist on that element being raster, then the whole thing might as well be, and your workflow is needlessly convoluted.

  • Indesign CS4 to PDF 1.3 transparency issue

    We submitted an ad to the local newspaper that we created in Indesign CS4 and Acrobat 9. The ad was exported as a press-quality Acrobat 4 PDF.
    It is a fairly simple layout, with type and a logo.
    The headline and logo have a drop shadow applied with multiply blend mode. All colors are CMYK.
    When the ad prints, the headline and logo have 1% black-filled boxes around them.
    I know this is a transparency issue. However, we've done the same ad in Indesign CS3 and Acrobat 8 with no problems as long as we were CMYK and Acrobat 4.
    Has something changed in CS4 that I don't know about? Could it be the multiply blend mode rather than normal?
    Problem is, the newspaper can't give me a proof -- we have to wait and see what happens when they print. I can't simulate the problem on my end. The ad prints perfectly on my HP5000N in b/w and on my Phaser 8560 in color.
    One workaround suggested was to export the file as a JPG or EPS and save as a Photoshop PDF. We did that on one ad that will run Monday, so we'll see. However, that makes the files with photos enormous -- like from 4 mb to 26 mb.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. We're in the middle of an ad campaign and we're resorted to the old-fashioned manual drop shadow out of desperation!

    Has something changed in CS4 that I don't know about? Could it be the multiply blend mode rather than normal?
    Something did change. In some cases (maybe all), the flattener in CS4 will put the shadow behind the background rather than in front. In both cases, though, using a RIP and/or viewer which is set to honor overprints will avoid the problem, and allow the artwork to render correctly.
    You say that all colors are CMYK. Are you absolutely certain that the background (whatever the rectangular shadow-containing "boxes" knock out) is not a spot color? Your problem description would be more easily explicable if it were.

    This in itself suggests that these folks do not know what they are doing (though I know that's not terribly helpful to you if you need to advertise with them). I must say that given current economic realities in the newspaper business, it's hard to image a paper refusing to cooperate with a paying advertiser - especially one who has been previously bitten - if not by the newspaper's own incompetence, at least by their unwillingness/inability to provide a proof.

  • Installing Flash Player Issues

    I have a Windows 8 Operating Sysytem and I use IE version 8. I have downloaded the latest flash player numerous times and it continues not to work. So can someone please help me install it?????? Thanks in advance

    If you have Windows 8, you CANNOT use IE 8, because Windows 8 comes with IE 10 preinstalled and it WON'T accept a lower version.
    In addition, Flash Player for IE in Windows 8 is modified and embedded by Microsoft. It's "their baby" so to speak. It can ONLY be updated through Windows Update (in your Control Panel under System and Security).
    Microsoft released a "Tuesday patch" November 12 to update Flash Player for IE10 and IE11 in Windows 8 and 8.1.
    If you run the update and still have problems, see: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html for more steps to take.

  • Would flash player issues cahnge desktop icons?

    I'm starting a seperate discussion on this issue as it is truly different than my other postings
    I use Vista Home premium
    I have many icons on my desk top, mostly shortcuts to program. Yesterday I had to reboot several times when trying to update to ne flash player.
    Then upon one reboot, I noticed that some, just like 3, Icons changed.
    Example
    icon for the shortcut to itunes looked like the icon picture for the game dinerdash
    icon for shortcut to the game Bakerydash looked like the icon for spider solitaire
    now when I would right click on these shortcuts, they would show the proper data for the shortcut they truely were Whe I would right click on the icon and then select change icon, the only option there was the actual correct icon. I'd hit apply, but it did not good.
    I ran virus/spyware scans and all were clean.
    Could it be because of flash player issues? or because  I had rebooted several times in a row and did not allow the system to fully reboot before trying the next reboot??
    Like I would reboot and then 7 minutes later reboot again. Could that cause the icons to screw up a little?

    I don't know what changed the desktop icons, but it is one of these things that just happen sometimes.
    Windows XP had a great tool, TweakUI (from Windows Power Toys), that has a 'Repair Icons' function.  Microsoft never released a TweakUI version for Vista, but I know that a 3rd-party version of TweakUI for Vista can be found on the Internet (Google will find it for you).
    I would try to use this to repair your desktop icons.
    P.S. since this TweakUI is not a Microsoft tool, I recommend to make a System Restore point before running it; just in case...

  • Exported Flash IIS issue

    Hi,
    I have exported an Encore project to Flash and it works ok locally.
    When i copy the all the exported files onto a Webserver, then create a virtual directory pointing to it, the main menu appears yet none of the video plays.
    The source folder etc has been copied over, as i see that has been an issue in previous posts.
    The server is Win2003 and the virtual directory is added to the default web site.
    I am making no amendments to the exported files except moving them to a webserver.
    Can anyone please help?

    The only Encore/Flash related issue that could be going on is that you haven't copied ALL of the items used (the source folder, the .html, the .swf). But, since you said you did all that, then I don't know why that wouldn't work for you.
    In the URL, do you have a trailing "/" at the end? That can play a role. Also, check case-sensitivity (type in the URL exactly as the folder is listed).
    I'm sure you've got your own reasons for using virtual directory...however, have you tried setting up the Flash DVD on the site any other way to at least determine whether or not your virtual directory setup is the source of the problem? Try setting it up some other way....if it works, then you at least have a better idea where the problem lies. If it still doesn't work, then....something may well be missing, despite your best efforts to ensure a 100% transfer.
    Good luck!

  • Is there a solution or work around for flash player issues?

    Is there a solution, app or work around for flash player issues w/ iPad 2? Maybe even something in development?

    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so you could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app). But flash itself is unlikely to ever be supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ , and Adobe have failed to create a version of flash that works on iOS

  • Transparency issues with INDCS3 and Pantone color

    Running Windows XP, Serv Pk 2, Creative Suite CS3, All updates.
    Heres the deal: We are having problems with PDFs printing and Ripping when using transparencies and drop shadows.
    Issue 1: INDD CS3 file with transparent PDF placed as image. Separate frame filled with paper, stroke and drop shadow placed under trans PDF file. Filled frame areas of percentage tint using a PANTONE color used on same page. File re-PDFed (compat to v6) and file printed correctly to XEROX 7760 and HP color. PDF views correctly. Recommended ordering policy applied to all layers as to keep drop shadow below text. PROBLEM: User running Acro 7 to printing to same color printers, receives copy with color tint areas missing.
    Issue 2: INDD CS3 file with solid Pantone color on background. Several text frames layered above. Under text frame a solid box with SOLID Drop shadow. PDFed using Acro 8. PROBLEM: User's RIP and DIGITAL presses do not recognize the drop shadow? White knockout box appears in this area.
    It seems that CS3 is handling transparency issues differently and/or that Acro 8 (compat to v6) is doing something different. The Acro 8 users have no problem printing or PDFing.
    Could this also be the "known issue" of transparencies and PANTONE colors? We are testing out converting all the colors to CMYK.
    Please respond at your earliest.
    KEN PANTHEN, Albany, NY

    Ken,
    If your final output is to the Xerox, which can't print Spot colors without converting them to CMYK, you should use process colors instead.
    Also, read the articles from InDesign Secrets:

  • Transparency issue flash please help

    Has anyone come across transparency problem with png's and
    animations in flash player 9.0.115.0 ? They seem to be showing a
    semi transparent white box around the png or animation
    is this an issue with the flash player or something else?
    transparency
    problem

    I am a big user of pngs in my sites, but have never seen the
    problem you posted. It could be the png settings you used when you
    saved the image, or it could be the property settings on the bitmap
    within the flash file, or it could be that the transparent part of
    the image is actually not 100% transparent.
    I dont believe it is anything with the flash player.
