Border around embedded swf object in IE 8

I'm well aware of the Eleos/Microsoft issues that came before IE 8. However this isn't my problem. My company's website is able to display the swf file fine in FF but in IE, as soon as somebody clicks on the swf file, it does its thing without having to double-click (as in the ActiveX issue previously discussed) but also has what looks like a pink border around it. I'm testing in IE and created the Flash component in Flash CS4 using AS 3.0.
website address: http://arc-a.org/
Like I said before, the SWF object is activated on the first click, and doesn't have to do with the previously mentioned ActiveX control issue.
Any help in the matter would be appreciated.
Thanks!

kglad,
Are you able to interact with the slideshow without seeing any border once you active the control?
I thought MS did away with the ActiveX Control in IE8...why are you still seeing that warning?

Put a border around a swf movie

Can anyone tell me please how to put a border or frame around a swf / flv when it's imported into dreamweaver?
I have tried the same process you would use for an image but it doesn't work and sits underneath.
Where would this sit within this code exactly?
<div id="flashContent">
    <p> </p>
          <img src="../bands.png" width="100" height="98" alt=""/>
<p> </p>
      <p>Rich 970x250 banner</a></p>

            <param name="movie" value="970x250_rich.swf" />

Remove Black Border Around Embedded Flash Video

Hi-
I have searched on the Web without luck, so again I have to
turn tot he forum for help. I believe this should be simple and
straightforward, but doesn't appear so. I have a simple little
Flash video embedded in a plain old web page created with DW8. When
the page is displayed in my web browser it has a thin black border
around the video. I would like to remove this border (such as one
might with image border=0). I have tried several "fixes" ranging
from setting the BODY margin height to 0 to altering my external
style sheet. None of these worked. I even created a fresh web page
with no external style sheet at all and the border is still there.
How on earth do I get rid of that ugly thing? Any help is greatly
appreciated.
-=SB

can we see this border? URL?

Border around Embedded Video?

What's a simple code that I can use to put a nice colored border around a video so it has some type of structure instead of only clip just being on the page.
Thanks.
Note:
Embedding video from Vimeo...copying code and then pasting right into html snippet.

If you used iFrame code in the snippet there's a setting " frameborder="0" you can change to whatever size frame you want. The following code came from HTML Basix - iFrame code generator:
<iframe src="URL TO MOVIE FILE" style="border:1px red solid;" name="frame1" scrolling="no" frameborder="yes" align="center" height = "480px" width = "640px">
</iframe>
The frame above has a solid red frame 5 pixels wide. Change as desired.
Or you could make a shape a little bigger than the movie, add a stroke/border the size you want and the color you want, add a drop shadow if desires, make the shape's fill none and place over the snippet like seen around the top table in this demo page

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" />

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

Unwanted border around swf file in IE

Can anyone tell me why I am getting a border around my swf
file with it is imbedded on a Html page and displayed in Internet
Explorer on a PC?
The swf acts as a link, (pointer becomes a finger), and when
you click once in the swf area, the border disappears and the swf
file becomes active and all other links are working .
See f.ex.
http://www.soundoil.com
I am not getting this when viewing the site in other browsers
or on the Mac.
I use Golive CS and Flash MX.
It looks like this is an IE issue. Do you know of a
workaround?
Thanks on beforehand
ggaarde

I've noticed, not just in this thread but all the other "10
billion threads about this," that every single one of the fixes for
this problem are oriented towards webpage developers -- not for the
internet user. Forgive me if these forums (unbeknownst to me) are
actually dedicated solely to web developers, but I'd still like to
find a solution somewhere for this problem.
An example of the problem I'm facing. The average Joe (such
as myself) is browsing around webpages (including, for example, the
webpage for my online homework) that haven't implemented a fix for
this problem .... Thus, for every ActiveX control, forcing me to
click it first before being able to use it. Just seeing this once
isn't a big deal, but when it comes down to doing a slew of
frustrating homework problems, and being forced to do an extra
click at least once for every single problem ... that just becomes
one extra irritant. And it's a problem on a lot of other webpages
too.
I obviously can't use the "fixes" provided in these topics,
because they're
coding fixes; I can't very well go in and alter commercial
webpages. Of course, I could go and demand the Tech Support guys
for
every webpage I visit to adjust their websites and make
accomodations for this problem. But that seems like a dumb choice,
especially if there's a solution of some sort. Maybe a downloadable
update, or an option in Internet Explorer's settings. Is there
anything out there for the
user to fix this problem? Or am I SOL? Perhaps I just need
to "suck it up."
Thanks in advance.

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.

Why does border appear around embedded video?

Hello,
I have an embedded YouTube video in a page on my site. It was working fine for a while but I've just discovered that there is now a black edge showing on the left, right and bottom of the video? I created a white round cornered frame within Premier so that it's part of the video. I did this as the pgae it's embedded in is white so that when it plays back it appears seamless and with curved edges to match it's container. This worked fine for a week or so but now it has these black edges? Can anybody tell me why? You can see for yourself at www.glovesanddoves.com. Go to the fighters page and you'll see the video at the bottom. The video's width is a multiple of 16 and the ratio is 16:9 at 384px X 216px. The containg Divs are also set to these measurements.
I've attached a screenshot below:
Any help would be much appreciated.
Jack

It only seems to be affecting the page when viewed in Safari although it was working fine for over a week before today?

Creating a border around objects?

This should be simple but as a human being I'm useless and I can't figure it out
I want to create a border around images like the triangles on
this website.
http://www.htmlandcssbook.com/code-samples/chapter-15/example.html
Baby steps please, as I said I'm an invalid

I'm 73 you will get that math soon hopefully you also get to 73 some day take your time. By 15 I had to take it in school.
Equilateral triangle have three equal length sides and all three angle are 60degree only these will expand with equal size borders added on the three sides.. Some triangle will expand with two equal size borders other all the borders will be different sizes. Symmetric things like squares and circles expand evenly.

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.

Why there is a border around the flash movies?

I have a homepage with an embedded flash .swf object. It is
perfect when viewed with IE/ flash player 8 in Win2000 environment,
but when it is viewed with IE/flash player 8 in WinXP environment,
there is a border around the flash .swf object when the mouse
cursor in over the object. The border makes the page disgraceful.
Is there any method to get rid of the border without clicking the
mouse? Grateful if anyone can help.

just search the forum or google for "active content" - this
has been international front page news
for weeks as it stems from a Eolas/Microsoft patent lawsuit -
it has been discussed here everyday
since the lawsuit was decided in favor of Eolas - google
returns millions of returns - you should
have little problem finding out what it is, why and how to
incorporate a work-around to suit your neds.

Blocks/lines of background color show through embedded SWF

When I place a swf object in Muse, I've found that blocks and lines of the background color will appear and disappear around the edges of animated elements. I've confirmed this is not an issue with the SWF as they play normally if embedded using dreamweaver or exported with an html wrapper from flash. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone knows how to fix this, as I have a much easier time arranging page elements in Muse instead of Dreamweaver.
Thanks,
Chris

here is the site now:
http://http://www.andrewweeksphotogr...m/index_8.html
you will notice a slight flash of a white box before the preloader starts, i'm trying everything to make it go away! this box seems to be the same size as my embedded swf. the site and preloader are all in one swf. all i need to do is make that white box the same color as the background so it is unnoticeable.
here is the code from dreamweaver (you'll notice im sticking in color values wherever i can!)

Using embedded SWF, get a white flash when its to play

Hi,
We develop e-Learning content using swf files embedded in
DCRs. We have started noticing a problem with the new Shockwave
player 10.1+ in that there is a noticable flicker or white flash
before the swf plays or is told to move on.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Does anyone know a
solution?
We are using Director 8.5 and Flash 8.0. files published for
Flash Player 5.0.
Simon

Well dont all fall over each other trying to post a possible
solution ;-).
Seems that we found the problem. We use shared script
libraries (cst & cct). It appears that there is a line in our
lingo code that sets the flash sprite cast member automatically
direct to stage. Shockwave player 10.1 + does not seem to like this
on standard speed machines and causes a flickering border around
the flash animations, which is really noticable. The line of code
reads as so:
sprite(channelNo).directToStage = true
We simply commented this out and the page functions fine.
Incedently, if I manually set the flash cast member as direct to
stage, we get the same issue, only more exagerated. This must be a
bug in the 10.1+ player as we don't get the issue at all on
machines running the 8.5 player.
Simon
