Browser scrollbar for Flash movie?

The webpage for my Flash movie does not have scrollbars. On
most of the frames (I did each site page as a named frame in a
single timeline) it doesn't matter, but there is one frame where
the content stretches the full 900 px tall and you can not scroll
down.
I'm afraid I also have complicated things because the client
said he wanted everything, the whole site, 10% bigger... so I set
the movie width and height as 110% in the HTML. (Suggestions on
this are appreciated, too!)
I'm worried that if I somehow add scrollbars, it will want to
add a horizontal scrollbar to the bottom too.
I was wondering if I could add a Flash scrollbar (if it
worked with scrolling mice, that would be bonus) just on that page,
and have it appear exactly at the right edge of the browser window
and smartly sense how tall to be. Would I have to load it as a
separate movie? Any suggestions are ever so much appreciated!

Nevermind... I found out his Flash Player was WIN 9,0,47,0
while everyone else is WIN 9,0,124,0 . He upgraded & it is
working.

Browser scrollbar and Flash scrollbar ? I need help!

Now I have a problem about the scrollbar:
The height of my swf file is longer than browser height, so
the scrollbar of browser's occurred, if I scroll my mouse wheel,
the whole flash roll down, but the problem is that I have used a
scrollPanel component which write by myself, and in this situation,
when I scroll the mouse wheel, the scrollbar in flash and browser
will both in effect.
The question is that how to disable the brower scrollbar when
I scroll mouse wheel inside the scrollPanel component. In fact,
adobe already done this, if my cursor inside a textfield object,
the scrollbar of bowser will not get focus. How to achieve this
effect? My english is bad, but I need help!

i recently downloaded trails of flash cs4 and web premium package cs4 (took a day to download at high speed starbuck's internet). couldnt get the setup.exe to work or the uninstaller to work. surfing tech support over next couple weeks to try various agents was useless and expensive until i finally reached someone with useful info. all the agents had foriegn accents and read from scripts and web support pages until yesterday, when i reached a guy who told me two things i'll report to various forums addressing this same issue:
1. download windows uninstaller program from their website (google: windows ininstaller). this program is different from the one that doesnt work in the programs and features area of control panel when you try to uninstall adobe products from there.
2. windows explorer 8, the newest version, DOES NOT download adobe softare properly and leaves things out, causing all sorts of issues including the setup.exe program not working. download firefox browser from mozella (google: firefox) and use it for all adobe downloads. apparently the old windows explorer 7 will work, but if you already have explorer 8 installed its easiest to just use firefox.
i'm spending the next couple days downloading the 4.14 G web premium trail with firefox and will report if this works.

Title for Flash movie (Swf file)

Hi
I want to add any title for my flash movie, As we can add any
title in HTML page with "title tag".
Usually the file name of flash file show as title like
"abc.swf"
but i want here another title like " Welcome to my xyz"
anything else....
Can anybody help me getting its solution....

Wishing to do the same thing, I've explored this with Macromedia. It appears to be a licensing problem for the Flash 5 engine. Macromedia wants a commitment of several thousand dollars (like close to 6 figures) to license the engine for an application. That's for a single applicaiton, and not a generic toolkit like JMF. I assume Sun found the same thing and balked, understandably.

Narration for Flash movie

I am trying to record a narration for a Flash movie and I can't get it done with GB. I'm thinking this is because I'm a new Mac user. Any suggestions how I might do this. Flash can import audio files in AIFF, WAV and MP3.
iMac & MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If you delete or hide the PodCast track, what you "Share to iTUnes" will be an AIFF file.

Export for flash-movie file conversion.

I want to prepare files for the highest quality possible for conversion to flash-movie files. I recorded in HDV- edited in HDV- send to Color in HDV- and now my question is if I should send it to FCP from Color in 10 bit-uncompressed to keep the highest quality?
Also at the end exporting from FCP- should I change my sequence settings? Again I need the very highest quality for later conversion to a flash-movie file, and was told that uncompressed is the way to go??
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks- Adam.

"Keeping" the quality isn't really the issue-- if you're working in HDV, there's nothing to gain by going to Uncompressed, because you weren't working in Uncompressed in the first place. The exception to this is color grading and graphics: ideally, you would be working in a higher quality sequence such as ProRes (Uncompressed is probably overkill) in both FCP and Color.
Of course, I can't honestly say that any of this will make a difference in a Flash movie-- Flash is for web delivery, and to bring it down to a bitrate suitable for the web, you'll likely lose anything you might have gained from this process.

Back button & Replay button for Flash movie on website

Three questions all related:
1. I need to add a "Back" and a "Replay" button to a Flash movie that plays full screen when the link is clicked on a website. I have created the two buttons and placed them on the stage. I've given them the names back_btn and play_btn. I've tried several scripts from postings on the Forum for the replay button but all of them come up with errors such as, "1119: Access of possibly undefined property onRelease through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton" when I use this script:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function()
play();
I also tried this script:
stop();
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
function playMovie(event)
play();
It didn't report any errors, but it didn't work.
2. I saw a posting that said one needs to name the movie clip and reference it in the script. Would this be the file name of the movie after it is exported? I am unclear on this.
3. For the "Back" button, would I include the whole url to get the viewers back to the previous page or is there a shortcut way to get them back there?
If you can help, please provide detailed script as I do not know Action script.
Thank you,
Marilyn

Hi, Ned:
I have a presentation completed that is already up on a website and now I need the "Back" button and "Replay" button, so whether I'm ready or not, I have to find a solution. I know I'm missing some important step. I have Lynda.com and I can usually figure out what's wrong with the lessons on there, but this one has me stumped.
I did try the code change you sent and I was unable to get the movie to replay. I'm attaching two screen shots so you'll see that I did have the button instance named properly and the Action Script correctly written. You can "Ctrl" "Scroll" to enlarge the images on your screen.

Creating Hyperlink for Flash Movie

Hi Guys
I have just created a flash movie. I have inserted the flash
into dreamweaver and when somebody clicks on the movie I want it to
take them to a certain page. If possible could I send you the .fla
file and you can send it back with it all linked up as I have been
getting annoyed with this all morning.
Thanks
J - 17 from Brits

ForensicBop,

Okay.

Easy enough, once you know how to proceed. :)

It's possible, sure -- but that goes agains the grain (and
benefit) of
why these forums are here. A dozen other people may have a
question similar
to yours, and by participating in a public conversation about
it -- and also
working it through publicly -- you not only learn a knew
skill, but
onlookers can learn it as well.
If you want the whole Flash movie to respond to a click, you
can either
create a so-called invisible button that matches the
dimensions of the whole
movie, then set that above all other layers, or you can code
your movie to
respond to mouse clicks globally.
The invisible button approach usually seems easier to
newcomers, but
neither techniques is especially difficult. What version of
the Flash
Player are you publishing to? (Most importantly, what version
of
ActionScript?)

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.

Closing browser window from Flash movie on CD

I have to put a flash lesson I created on a cd for a client and while testing it I noticed that my exit button in the movie no longer seems to function.
This is my close window function
    function closeWindow(evt:Event)
        var url:String = "javascript:window.opener=self; window.close()";
        var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
        try
            navigateToURL(request, "_self");
        catch (e:Error)
            trace("Error occurred!");
Can anyone tell me why this wouldn't work when the movie is launched in a browser window from a CD?

Fi it is at all possible you cannot do that with url request.
Try using ExtrenalInterface class:
ExternalInterface.call("javascript:...");
It may not waork though depending on security settings and embed parameters.

Open Browser Window for QT movie

I am not good with code yet so I work in the design mode. I
am using DMX for mac and I am wanting to link text to a QuickTime
movie. I use the Open Browser Window method and choose my window
height and width. In the Properties window I place
"javascript:%void(0)" in the Link box to give the link a Null link.
I have no problems with Safari, Netscape, Firefox opening up the
media file and playing it fine. IE on both Mac and PC will not open
up a .mov file. The fixed window sits there and the thinking
indicator just spins. IE will open up a .jpg file though with no
problems.
I assume a lot of my viewers will be using IE so I want to
get it working.
Any thoughts. Remember, code does not little good. Sorry.
David

Code for flash movie not working?

ok, I have searched hi and low for this and found lots of great info from Wyodor on this forum but I just cannot get this to work! I have tried the code, replaced the paths and sizes relative, I have everything (swf flv) in the same directory on my server (not mobileme) but still nothing. All I see when I visit site is a grey box. What am I missing? It seems pretty straight forward. Please help! Thank you

The URL appears in two places in the code. The most important one is after
<embed src=
Enter the URL to your flash file into the browser and it should play full screen on a page of its own if it is correct.
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"

Browser buttons for flash

Is there a reliable way / workaround to get the browser buttons (meaning the back and forward arrows) to work on an all flash website (
I have Dreamweaver CS4 if that helps)?
I'd been directed to SWFAddress a few months ago, but I couldn't get that working even after digging around on the Asual site and elsewhere for instructions on how to integrate this deep linking feature.
Thanks for any recommendations.

Nevermind... I found out his Flash Player was WIN 9,0,47,0
while everyone else is WIN 9,0,124,0 . He upgraded & it is
working.

Playback buttons for flash movie

Hello, im having some difficulty adding a play, pause and
stop button to a movie I imported into flash.
The movie was imported using the import wizard in flash 8. I
did not add a skin because when I tried adding it , the skin would
not show through once I imported the finished swf file in
Trainersoft. ONly the movie would come through. So, then I decided
to add my own playback buttons to the movie. I imported the movie
again using the import wizard, i did not select a skin. The movie
was imported fine into flash. I added a play, pause and stop
buttons as new symbols each in their own layer. I added the correct
action scripting to the buttons, i preview movie and the buttons
appear correctly but nothing happens when I click each of the
buttons, the movie keeps playing without reacting to me clicking on
either the pause or stop button, or the play button.
Here is thte scripting im using.
For Play: on (release) {
myButton.onrelease = function() {
trace("onrelease called");
on (release) {
play();
For Pause:
on (release) {
myButton.onrelease = function() {
trace("onrelease called");
on (release) {
stop();
For Stop
on (release) {
" Movie".gotoAndStop (1) ;
I would love to hear from someone to help me out. Thank
you!!

First, create your play button. Click on it, and open up the
Properties Panel (Shift + F3). Type in:
play_btn for the <Instance Name>.
Then, create a new Layer in your Flash file, called Actions.
Click on the first frame of the Actions layer, and open up the
Actions panel (F9).
Type in:
stop();
play_btn.onRelease = function(){
play();
}

Browser settings for Flash Forms?

I have set up a site using Flash Forms. It is working for all
of my coworkers except one. He cannot see Flash Forms on any site,
not just the one I created. Are there some browser settings that
need to be set to see Flash Forms? This is happening for him in
both IE & Firefox, though. Also, we are behind a firewall that
blocks Activex, so maybe this has something to do with it, but I
don't know why it would work for everyone else.
Thanks,
