Annoying dotted border around flash objects...

Hey. In the past few months I've noticed every time I have a
flash object on my browser, it's surrounded by a dotted border that
causes me to have to first press on the flash object - and only
then be able to use it.
So, for example, if the flash object is a
menu, I first have to click inside the flash object, and
then the border goes off and the flash is "activated".
Does anyone have any idea what causes this and how can I make
it go away?
Thank you! :)

> I was referring to this annoying dotted box I got around
the flash before
> I
> could use it.
That's what we have been talking about .. all due to the
stupid greed EOLAS
and its patent .. there's been hundreds and thousands of post
and web
sites.

Border around flash objects in Firefox

Hello,
   I have a swf object inside a table, everything is perfect when I look at my work in IE but when I use Firefox, a white border apears around the swf object, this is annoying because this border breaks my graphos design for the webpage...
   I've already tried using padding, margin, border, outline set to 0 -or none- for both, the swf object and the table and the border doesn't go away... Also, I've tried changing the swf params for scale and wmode value and nothing happens :s
   This is the code (yes, is the one that dreamweaver writes when you add any flash object):
   <td height="295" class="noBorders"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="780" height="295" class="noBorders" id="FlashID" title="X">
      <param name="movie" value="flash/fotos.swf" />
      <param name="quality" value="high" />
      <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
      <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
      
      <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
      <param name="BGCOLOR" value="#00FF00" />
      <param name="SCALE" value="exactfit" />
      
      
      <object data="flash/fotos.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="780" height="295">
      
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
        <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
        <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
        <param name="BGCOLOR" value="#00FF00" />
        <param name="SCALE" value="exactfit" />
        
        <div>
          <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
          <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
        </div>
        
      </object>
      
    </object></td>
If I erase the dreamweaver<object data...> code (the orange one) the problem solves but the swf object doesn't appears in IE...Obviously I don't want to erase any of this dreamweaver code because it's there for something
I want my page to be looking good in any browser, what can I do? please help!!!!!
Thanks

Thanks...
   I don't think is the swf file because the issue only happens in Firefox :s
   Anyway, I think I've fixed the problem, instead of using a table for the two swf (the photo and the menu), i used 2 <div>s... I'm not sure is the correct way of designing it (mixin tables and divs) but its working now
   Thanks again

Is it possible to disable the dotted border around flash elements that show up when you interact with them? It looks horrible and it shows up everywhere.

I understand that this is somehow related to accessability of the web but shouldn't it be an option in the preference panel?
No other browsers behaves like this.

It did this and it worked for me. It requires the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish extension].
Create a new rule with this:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
object, embed {
outline: none !important;
Links still have outlines around them, but thankfully Flash objects no longer do! Hurray!

Dotted borders around certain objects when clicked

this is the only issue I have with Firefox- on certain pages (Mozilla pages, the new tab page, Facebook, etc.), when I click on a link, there will be an incredibly ugly dotted border around the object. I've tried restarting in safe mode, and it happens across all versions of Firefox (regular, beta, and Aurora). I haven't had this issue with any other browsers, it's only Firefox, and I can't figure out why. any guesses?

That is an accessibility feature to display a focus ring around an object.

Border around Flash content in Firefox 7.01

I notice that any Flash content I create inside a Dreamweaver,html page results in a dotted border around the flash object when clicked. I cannot be the only one seeing this. I also have Safari which the content shows up fine. I thought it may have benn my css page but I also imported a flash swf directly to an blank .html page and that is my result
Is this an html or Flash problem?
anyone?
rd

This is an html/css matter. I think it involves setting an 'outline' style to '0' or 'none' though I can't rememebr for sure. Try Googling "CSS remove outline"... here's one result from that search that looks like it includes a section for Flash.

White Border Around Flash in Dreamweaver

When I insert my Flash file (.swf) into my Dreamweaver page,
Dreamweaver inserts a thin white border around the flash video. I
have tried several potential solutions I have seen but none of them
seem to solve the problem. Looking for suggestions!

Which browser ?

Removing border around Flash content

I really cant stand what adobe has done to the flash player.
They totally messed it up.
My question is how do I remove the box/boarder that the new
flash player puts around flash content.
Go to a site with flash content, once there hover your mouse
over the content, you will notice a box/boarder around the content
now.
HOW DO I REMOVE THIS, so freaking annoying!
Just leave Flash how it was Adobe.
Good to see how you come and take over macromedia, and then
you jack with thier software making it a total annoyance.
Tell me how to turn this boarder crap off.

You really are shooting off obviously without having read any
of the
hundreds of news reports on this in the last couple of months
.. nor the
hundreds of forum posts here. Do a little research before you
start
mouthing off about what adobe has done .. otherwise you are
just looking
very foolish.
Adobe has done nothing here. Microsoft have been forced as a
result of
EOLAS suing them to change how IE works with all embedded
ActiveX controls
(including Flash).
It is up to web site authors to change their HTML so the
flash content
doesn't need to be activated.
There is nothing you can do about it, nor adobe, nor
Microsoft.
You can temporarily do something about it be going to MS site
and
downloading a patch that turns off this new behaviour for a
month or two
(its only a temporary fix).
If you are a web site author, then see the many posts in the
flash general
discussion about what you should do .. in particular look at

Border around flash movies?

I just noticed this morning that now my flash movies have a
border around them and I have to click on the movie to activate
them. If I hover my mouse over it, it says "Click to activate and
use this control".
I think Microsoft updated something last night that causes
this. I have win xp sp2

Please help. How can I get rid of this red dotted border around my navigation bar images?

If you go to my site here...
http://metalwolf92.zymichost.com/
And left-click and hold down your mouse, but don't release, on any of the navigation button images. Notice the red dotted border? How can I get rid of those?
All images already have border set to 0.

I just noticed your page has no css. so in Code View, replace this closing tag:
</head>
with this:
<style type="text/css">
a:active {
outline: none;
</style>
</head>

How do i remove the red dotted border around links?

On several websites (Facebook, Twitter, Hootsuite, etc) any link is outlined by a red dotted border. I don't know if I inadvertently changed a setting but it never was like this before and I can't figure out how to disable the dotted border from showing.
Any help?

There are browser.display.focus* prefs that you can check on the <b>about:config</b> page to see if the have the default value.

Create a white border around round object

Hi there,
I am a relative newbie to photoshop - I am trying to create a border around a logo that has rounded edges. I have used to stroke tool and it creates the border. However, when I try and save it and use it it still has square edges.
How do I get rid of the square edges and make sure that you only see the rounded border?
Thanks!

Images are created with square pixels and so all image formats are either square or rectangular.
What you need to do is create a transparent background for your round logo with border.
Then you need to save it in a image format that supports transparency. (hint: jpegs don't support transparency)
Quick way to do this is double click the background layer in the layer panel to unlock it. (assuming you only have 1 layer?)
Then select the area outside your logo that you want to make transparent and hit the delete key.
You should see a checkerboard pattern. This pattern is only to to show you that this area is transparent, it won't print as a checkerboard.
It also depends on how the image is being used as not all applications support transparency.

Outlines around flash objects

When I roll my mouse over the flash obejects on my page an
outline of the object appears. When I click on the objects the
outline goes away.
Is there a simple way to get rid of these outlines that
appear?

Ooooh I see. Ive had that happen to me before on multiple
flash sites on the web, only the border went around the entire
site. It gives you a lil pop up message that reads 'click to
activate and use this control' which has something to do with
javascript and activeX with IE web browsers.
I just did a quick search on the matter cuz I always wondered
why it happened and I came across this site:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/popular_topics/click_to_activate/
It has lots of resources that will show you how to
(hopefully) fix it. Otherwise, its a result of some update that
Internet Explorer applied that might be unavoidable in some
cases.

Unwanted border around flash movie

Though I found that this problem is quite common and can have
different causes, I still couldn't resolve my own case.
I have several flash animations embedded in a table and the
one that has a rollover-action shows an unwanted border in Firefox
and in Internet Explorer. The borders are all set to 0, the
vertical and horizontal spacing of the <object>-tag is set to
0, too but no matter what else I tried it just doesn't work. The
animation does not show these borders when I test-compile it in
Flash, so I guess it could have something to do with the way
Dreamweaver embeds it in the HTML-file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

no worries - i access forum through the newsgroup - i dont
see any web features. also - when
searching, the web forum search ain't that great - always
better to use:
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search?q=group:*flash*&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
it is entire archive of this forum - probably the best way to
learn anything about flash
hope this helps.
