Aligning Flash Movie within Text

Hi,
I have embedded an swf within a paragraph text. In the embed
tag, I have the align set to 'right', so that the swf sits in the
upper right corner of the paragraph, and all of the text wraps
around it. It works totally fine in Firefox on Mac & PC, as
well as IE on a PC... but in Safari, the swf stays on the left
side, and the text doesn't wrap--it starts on the line below it. I
think it must have something to do with their not being anything in
the 'object' tag, telling it to align Right, but I tried adding it
in, and it didnt do anything. Here is what I currently have
(without any right align for the Object tag):
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0"
width="220" height="185" id="myMovie" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="mymovie.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="mymovie.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"
width="220" height="185" name="myMovie" align="right"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>
</object>
text goes here... lkfalkj dljf lsj fldsj
Anyone have any ideas? It'd just be nice to have it look
properly in Safari...
Thanks!

has anyone else had this problem?

Centering a flash movie within Dreamweaver cs3 on Y axis

I have published a movie in Flash cs3 which has generated an html document however the Flash movie is not automatically centered I have attempted to centrally align the movie within Dreamweaver cs3 by adding:
<center> after the opening body tag and </center> befor the closing body tag
This method has centered on the X axis but not the Y axis
I would have put in a table or a div tag, but when I open the html doc in Dreamweaver I have no visible repressentation of the Flash movie in the design view as I would have if I had created an html document from scratch and draged the movie onto the page, all I can see is the "get flash" hypertext and some other text. I did actually experiment by creating a div tag and dragged my movie into it but ended up with two movies one sitting on top of the other when I ran it in a browser lol. I'm quite intimdated by code and much prefer to work in the design view (wysiwyg and all that) which is quite restricting.
Any advice for centering on the Y axis would be much apreciated, Thanks in advance, Dave

I don't believe there is code to prevent this from happening
on a client computer. The default is enabled my Microsoft, what
should happen is a yellow bar should appear at the top of the
browser which will allow you view the content.
What might work is to use a program called Zinc by a company
call Multidmedia Limited www.multidmedia.com. Search the site for
samples, one of the samples is a Flash Browser this will run Flash
a browser that you can use. You will need to change the URL a bit
in the Flash code but it's very clear on how to do this.
What this will do is run your web site in a Flash browser I
did a quick test and I did not get any errors. The program will
create an EXE file. I also believe they have a MAC version if you
need one. With a simple "Autorun" call on the CD-ROM you could have
this up and running in not time.
Just be careful of how you call the pages. Since the web site
is not running from a Web server you need to make sure that your
links are local and not Site Root. The best way to test is to
disconnect your computer from your internet and see how it runs.
You want the CD to be self-contained and not have to get content
from the web (your end user may be on a laptop and not connected).
Good Luck

Aligning flash movie edges with jpg's in HTML

I have created a flash movie that is 766 px wide by 750 px
high. The html page that the flash movie is embedded in uses jpg.
images to fill the remaiming browers area. (so it appears to the
viewer that flash movie and html page are one seemless page)
The problem I am having is matching (aligning) the edges of
the flash movie with the jpg images. I can get it very close, but
it never seems exactly right. (The edges of the flash movie have a
gradient and some color change.)
You can view my work in progress at:
http://www.awitest.com/index_silver.html
My questions is: is there a simpler, less time consuming way
to get the edges of the flash movie line up correctly with the
jpg's in the html???
By the way I have Design Premium CS3, if any of those other
programs can help with this problem.
Thanks for any advice!

yes, is is.
you can use this link.
http://de.selfhtml.org/css/eigenschaften/positionierung.htm#position
the dicription is german, but there are no problems to use
the code, i think.
working with cs3, i use the html of flash an delete all the
java-text. it's possible to use the objekt-tag in the
div-tag.

How to position a flash movie within a web page?

Hi guys.
I have a flash movie that is going to be loaded within
another flash movie via an xml list.
How can I set the position to load the inserted movie to the
center of the page?
At the moment it loads in the top left hand corner.

Hi there.
Thanks for replying.
the website in question is www,ridethespiral.net and if you
click on pilot map you will see the error.
The main (Background) flash file is from a template site so I
didn't write the code.
But I think this is it.
//Function used to load external SWF files and call the
loader MC -------------------------------------------
function loadMovieClip (externalTarget:String,
targetRoot:MovieClip) {
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader ();
var listenerLoad:Object = new Object ();
listenerLoad.onLoadStart = function (target:MovieClip) {
loader._visible = true;
ZigoEngine.doTween (loader,'_alpha',100,0.5,"easeOutExpo");
//Loading Progress
listenerLoad.onLoadProgress = function (target:MovieClip,
bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void {
percent = Math.round (bytesLoaded / bytesTotal * 100);
loader.percentTxt.text = percent + "%";
//On Load Complete
listenerLoad.onLoadComplete = function
(target:MovieClip):Void {
ZigoEngine.doTween
(loader,'_alpha',0,0.5,"easeOutExpo",0,function () {
loader._visible = false;
ZigoEngine.doTween
(content_container,'_alpha',100,0.5,"easeOutExpo",0,function () {
content_blocker._visible = false;
mcLoader.addListener (listenerLoad);
mcLoader.loadClip (externalTarget,targetRoot);

Aligning Flash movie in center of browser and flush to top

I'm having trouble positioning my Flash movie where I want it in the browser window. I want it:
* To be centered horizontally (easy enough), but also:
* Flush to the top of the browser window, with 0 px between the movie and the top of the browser window
I've been trying various combinations of single-cell tables, divs and CSS absolute & relative positioning, and can't find the right combination to achieve this positioning. The closest I can get is centered horizontally, and about a 5 px gap between the top of the browser window and the top of the movie -- it needs to be flush.
My movie is 1000 px wide and 680 high. This is a simple diagram of what I'm trying to achieve:
I'm not a coder by any means, so specific code examples would be helpful!
Thanks,
R

For your body tag in the html file try including these four parameters, they should reduce you to having no margin separating you from the very top of the page...
<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">
If you have a CSS file for the page you could include it in there instead in the form...
body {
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;

Including a Flash movie within a template

Hi,
I've put a Flash banner into a template and saved it. The
actual template works fine when i check it in the browser but all
the pages that are attached to the template just have a white space
where the banner should be.
Do templates not allow for flash movies?

No. I mean to make the link so that it's relative to the ROOT
of the site,
e.g.,
/flash/whatever.swf
rather than relative to the template document, e.g.,
../flash/whatever.swf
The former link will be functional on any page in any
location in your site,
since it always starts the path at the root of the site. The
latter link
will *only* work from the template page and not from any
particular child
page.

Link flash movies to text

I am trying to linking each FLV movie imported into the Library to a word on my Samples page. Ex. Wedding linked to a wedding clip, School play linked to a school play clip. Unfortunately, the add interaction button only allows me to select the first movie that was brought into the Samples page.
How can I link multiple movies to one flash movie player?

The link above shows how to link artwork to specific FLV videos. It seems a little more difficult using only words.

Aligning an image within Text

Is there a way to wrap an image within a Text Box? For example, in standard html I would just align an image to the "right" or "left" and insert padding accordingly. The text would then just wrap around and under. Is there an equivelent action in Captivate 5.0?
I've been just putting text boxes on the page and leaving room and saving space outside of the text box for the image, then put another text box underneath it to make it appear as if it is "wrapping"?
If not - any idea when this functionality will be appearing? Perhaps in 6.0?

If you want to see something like this in Cp6 you need to request it as an enhancement.

Adobe Captivate 4 - Flash Movie with Text Animation

I'm working on a project which has a slide which includes a Flash Video.
I'd like to put a Text caption over the video.
I've tried Text Caption and Text Animation.
Neither of these work......
Please let me know if there is some way to do this which I haven't considered or I need to adjust my settings.
Thank you,
David Gambal

Unfortunately, that is not an option. I work for a state government and the computers are locked down for security reasons. Updates are handled by an IT group and pushed out to all state computers. We were running Flash Player 10 and everything worked fine until the Flash Player Update was pushed out as a Microsoft Update on January 8th. There have been subsequent "Security Updates" to the Flash Player pushed out via Microsoft and none have corrected the problem. Even if I could uninstall the current Flash Player and install an older version, it would just be updated to the current Flash Player tonight.

Playing flash movie within an email?

Hi
I am creating a flash card and i didnt know if it is possible
or not to have the swf playing in an email or if you have to have a
typed url link to view the card. Does anyone know if it is possible
to actually have the swf file playing in the email message? or the
best way for sending out a flash ecard. This ecard would be sent
direct from the persons email to their contacts.
really appreciate any feedback
many thanks
J

hi Rafiq
thanks for your reply, I am new to this forum business, so
was really happy to get a reply : )
i have tried to send the page as an email, by going to page
in explorer and going file - send - page as email, and it does work
sometimes, but on some of the test emails i sent to different
people it brought up a box saying something about active x security
controls and the page didnt display, so i think what you have
suggested is best by just sending the typed url link and if the
client wants some type of graphic in there i suppose i could put a
picture graphic into the email of the ecard.
many thanks
J

Looping flash movie

I have created a flash website... on the first page i want to
enter a simple motion tween movie( i imported it)... i can do that
but it keeps looping... i unchecked Loop in html and added stop();
in the last keyframe but still the movie loops any ideas how to
stop this??? I am using flash 8
ps im inserting a flash movie within a flash movie(this
should not make a diference)
here is what i have found.... i am trying to replace an image
in a flash website with a movie... it continuously loops it appears
you need to add the Stop(); asctionscript wilthin the website and
not the move (.swf) imported.... thats where the problem lies is it
not possible to add Stop(); in the movie itself???? I have tried
this and it does not work???
Puzzled

If the offending loop is from the main timeline of the
imported swf and on the last keyframe of that timeline you entered
a stop(); and that didn't help maybe you should call an exorcist.
Or maybe there is another timeline in the imported swf that's
looping like a MovieClip?

HTML page within a Flash Movie?

I have an HTML page on my server that I'd like to be able to
have inside my Flash movie, is there any way this could work? I
don't want to use the external Text file method. I've been trying
to use an iframe over a Flash movie to fake it but I just get all
kinds of browser problems when I try to do that. I'd just like
Flash to be able to display an HTML page like an iframe does. Is
that possible?
Thanks in advance!

nope. this exact question gets asked here from time to time
and the answer is really just that
simple - no - but flash does support some HTML tags for text
but HTML as a language is completely
different animal from flash player.

Open browser window within flash movie

I've read several GetURL tutorials. They all open a new
window. I want to open the URL within the flash movie.
I would also like to specify the size and location. Just like
a photo gallery, but instead of loading an image (or movieclip) I
want it to load the URL. Can Flash do this? Can some brave and
generous soul show me the way? Thanks!

Let's make it a 100%. It isn't possible - the way you imagine
at least it isn't.
You could try to work around with css-layers and flash
javascript communication, but this wont be very reliable. Cotting
up you flash and using an i-frame would be more reliable, but also
not really fun to do.

Is there a way to open swf's within a flash movie

i want to change my website so that when you click a button
on the flash movie it opens up a swf file in the flash but i want
the swf to be in a seperate file from the flash, is this possible,
if so how?

very possible and very widely used for years - and a very
well documented feature - it is called
loadMovie - hit F1 and search the AS help docs for it - or go
oto
www.kirupa.com
www.gotoandlearn.com
www.lynda.com
www.google.com
thyere are tons of tutorials about the different ways of
loading an swf dynamically into your flash
project.

Apply CSS to Flash Movie?

If I want to apply a class to a flash movie, where do I place
it in order
for it to listen?
Here's my code:
<div id="header">
<p id="flash">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="/clients/affusion/webs/assets/affusionconsulting.swf"
width="472" height="196" class="movie">
<param name="movie"
value="/clients/affusion/webs/assets/affusionconsulting.swf"
/>
</object> </p>
</div>
Here's the simple css:
#flash {
height: 214px;
margin: 0 21px 0 15px;
background: url(/clients/affusion/webs/images/headerbg.gif)
no-repeat left;
display: block;
text-align: right;
.movie { padding-top: 9px;}
Here's the URL:
http://www.galfanodesign.com/clients/affusion/webs/final/index.asp
Might there be a simpler solution to what I am seeking?
Thanks!
Dan
