BUG: Flash over html text

All browser on Linux does not show correctly html and flash
in these sites:
http://www.oi.com.br
http://www.oi.com.br/data/Pages/30E5C7B0PTBRIE.htm
http://www.gm.com.br and several
others sites.
The flash shouldn't be over html text.

I too am experiencing the same bug with my own site. The only
thing that makes me feel better about the situation is this problem
is seen on Adobe's home page as well. If you pull up a browser in
Linux and view the homepage, you will notice that the pull down
menu on this site falls under the flash animation.
My only solution so far is to check the clients OS and if
it's reported as a Linux box then to serve up a static image
instead. This only works if the OS is being reported correctly to
the server... Not a good overall solution though.
Does anyone know if any fix is underway?

ComboBox over HTML text shows link

I have a ComboBox that opens over an HTML text field. The
HTML text field contains html text as links i.e. "<a href="">
etc which change colour on rollOver. Rolling over a link in the
open ComboBox also triggers the rollOver on the underlying html
text!
It's as if the ComboBox is transparent, but I can't get it's
background to be solid so as not to trigger the rollovers
underneath. BTW the html links do not respond in any way other than
to the rollOver. They do not link anywhere if a mouse click happens
in the ComboBox. If the box is closed however, they do link as
designed, to other pages.

The HTML_FORMAT was renamed to TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT to reflect the fact that it is specific to the htmlText property in TextField, not a general html implementation.
This is working correctly for me:
 var _text:String = "<html><body>first line of text, this is italic and <a href='cnn.com'>a link to cnn</a>, 2nd line of text.</body></html>";
 var _flow:TextFlow = TextConverter.importToFlow( _text, TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT);
 _flow.fontLookup = FontLookup.DEVICE;
 _flow.renderingMode = RenderingMode.NORMAL;
 _flow.fontFamily = "Arial";
 var s:Sprite = new Sprite();
 s.x = 30;
 s.y = 30;
 _flow.flowComposer.addController(new ContainerController(s, 300, 500));
 _flow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();
 addChild(s);

Using a Flash element for your navigation links is a very
very big mistake.
Do you know why?

Explorer HTML text flash bug?

Hello!
I have the following problem for a dynamically created
textfield:
mytext.text = "bold textgreen";
Even tough it works great in the Flash environment, it will
render differently in an IE7 browser.
In Firefox, it renders the bold and class tags correctly. IE7
doesn't render anything, it show only plain text: "bold
textgreen"...
If I change text to htmlText, IE7 will render the bold tags
but no class [stylesheet] tags correctly... and Firefox will only
show the bold tags, no line breaks and no class [stylesheet] tags
correctly?
AS2 had some bugs regarding html rendering but I don't think
I ever had this problem regarding html text back then...
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance,
T.

Problems with flash transparent drop down menu over html in some browsers

Hi everyone... this is my first post and it's about an issue
that's causing me a few problems.
I'm currently designing/ building my company's web site, the
test page be viewed here: www.musflashtv.com/test.htm
1) This layout contains an embeded flash movie (.swf) with a
transparent background, this is the main navigation.
The flash navigation has a drop down menu that animates down
and covers the html page (containing links) below.
The problem is that in most current browsers such as; Firefox
2.0.05 (links below template don't work), Netscape 8.1.3
(navigation drop down and links don't work) and Opera 9.10 (links
below template don't work), any links just below the 'invisible'
transparent area coverd by the navigation can't be clicked 'through
the flash file'. The exception is IE 7.0, everything is fine there.
(it hasn't been tested in any mac browsers though).
Because the area below the navigation on
www.kitachi.info/work is one large dummy jpeg file, the link below
would be a much better example to look at.
http://www.musflashtv.com/shows/ind...tlight-Sessions
The flash navigation is embedded in the html (tlp) template
file using the code below and aligned using an external style
(.css) sheet, this html code not only embeds the flash movie but it
also tells the browser to display it's background and as
transparent. The flash movie is embedded in a layer that sits above
the table.
3) The flash embed code:
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
name="shows-navigation-tranparent" width="851" height="300"
align="top" class="flash-navigation"
id="shows-navigation-tranparent">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie"
value="flash/navigation-tranparent.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<param name="SCALE" value="exactfit" />
<embed src="flash/navigation-tranparent.swf" width="851"
height="300" align="top" quality="high" wmode="transparent"
bgcolor="#000000" name="navigation-tranparent"
allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
scale="exactfit" />
</object>
Does anybody know of any code that can solve this problem or
know a different way of creating a flash navigation with a drop
menu that can be embeded over html?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated especially as
this issue is holding back progress in a big way.
Thanks in advance guys!
Adie

It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
last
year to their browser, regarding how Active Content (Flash,
Quicktime etc)
is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

Can you use html text in flash cc html5 project type?

I'm attempting to dynamically change font color of various words inside a dynamic text field.
I have tried both these lines of code below. have you dont this can you correct my code please?
I'm using flash cc and html5 project type. This was possible in previous versions of flash.
this.Logger.Log_File.htmlText = ""+MyGreatNumber+" "+" "+this.Logger.Log_File.htmlText;
this.Logger.Log_File.htmlText = ""+MyGreatNumber+" "+this.Logger.Log_File.htmlText;

from the easeljs docs: Please note that Text does not support HTML text, and can only display one font style at a time. To use multiple font styles, you will need to create multiple text instances, and position them manually.
to resolve, edit text in the js file where it's relatively easy to even use rtl text.

I downloaded the new version of firefox, now my flash player wont work, the html text box is gone and so is the back and forward buttons. please help??

I downloaded the new version of firefox, now I cant watch any movies, the html text box is totally gone, and so is the back and forward website buttons, please help? can i just have the old version back?

Not sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.
Clicking the star icon on the location bar whilst looking at your emails will bookmark the page.
* [[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites]]
* [[Bookmarks Toolbar - Display your favorite websites at the top of the Firefox window]]
I do not use Yahoo myself,and am not sure what add-ons are available. You could search yourself using
* FirefoxButton -> add-ons
** see [[Find and install add-ons to add features to Firefox]]
** examples [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/yahoo-toolbar/ yahoo toolbar] & [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/yahoo-mail-notifier/ mail notifier]
* also look at Yahoo's own information such as http://help.yahoo.com/tutorials/toolbar/cl3/c3_ff_toolbar1.html

Dynamic text box, HTML Text with Image

Hello Everyone,
I am using Flash version 8. I have used the text tool and
created a dynamic text box and have attached the UIScrollBar
component to it. This text box is configured to allow the use of
html text to be inputted to it. I have code that reads a file which
contains a list of text files that I then read and place them into
the text box. The user can use the scroll bar to scroll through all
the text.
I have created an image that is a picture of the tab portion
of a file folder. On the tab I have place some text. This was all
done in Photoshop. This tab image is used to separate the different
stories in the text box. The image is save as a jpeg file
Everything you have just read works with out any problems.
Now for the problem!
This image is only 20 pixels tall and the text is not very
readable. As we all know the HTML tags are very limited in Flash 8.
Ideally I would like to put the text and image in to the text
box as I would normally do. Then place text on top of the image and
have it all scroll properly with in the text box.
I have taken the tab image and converted it in to a graph
symbol and then put the text on top of the image. This looks good;
however I don’t know how (or if it is even possible) to place
the graphic symbol in to the text box at the correct place within
the text.
Does anyone have ideas on what may work? Remember that the
image I am working with is only 20 pixels tall which is why the
text quality on the image is so poor.
Thank you all for any help you may provide,
Steve

Yes Tim I am using the <img> tag and I know that I
can’t place text over the image. I have set the height and
width to be the exact size of the image. However When you go to the
webpage it will open the movie to the maximum size based on the
resolution of your display; however I do maintain the aspect ratio
of the movie. For testing I did set a fix size to the size of the
movie. Sometimes the fix size (1000x750) looks better and sometimes
a larger size (example 1280x1024). I believe that the main problem
is the fact the size of the image is 670 pixels wide by 25 pixels
high and of the 25 pixels the text is only 18 pixels tall. In
Photoshop this makes it about a 1.75 point font. As you can see the
real problem is that I don’t have enough pixels to make up
the text. This is why I am looking for an alterative way to create
the text.
I tried importing the image into flash as a graphic symbol
and then using the text tool to create the text. The results looked
real sharp, the text was nice and crisp (just what I wanted). The
problem is that I could not find a way to place the graphic symbol
into the dynamic text area like id did using the <img> tag.
This symbol needs to scroll as you scroll the text in the text
area.
This is why I am asking for help. I am looking for some ideas
that may work.
Thank you,
Steve

Html text anchor tag uses the whole line

Here's one. When I pull in html formatted text into a text
field and set the paragraph to align right, the whole line is set
as a link.
Is there anyway to make it so the link is not made for the
whole line?
Example:
<a href="link">Link
Text</a>
Any help would be appreciated.
Wally

TIm,
Thanks for doing that. I came up with the same results. Since
I'm loading everything from external files, I wanted to shy away
from escaping all those characters. But, you definately helped me
come up with a solution.
I took some of my text links and dropped them all into a test
movie I had been working with and had accidently left the
<title> tag in the head, which shows up in the html. Needless
to say, the text "untitled document" did NOT have the hyperlink
applied to it.
So I got to thinking, "What if I put text before and after
the anchor tag." And sure enough. NO HYPER LINK on the new text. So
then I got to thinking, "Hmm. Maybe I'll just put a character in
before and after the hyperlink and set it's color to white so it
won't show up."
Sure enough it worked. So, that's my fix/workaround. If you
have a hyperlink that is aligned right and it shows up on the whole
line, put a character before and after the hyperlink and make it's
color the same as the background.
It worked, but
HELLO ADOBE / FLASH TEAM!!! Please fix the bug and implement
HTML 4.0 or above so we don't have to come up with these crazy
workarounds,
please.
Thanks everybody who helped out on this. Great community!

Advice on integrating Flash and HTML

I have googled and researched this topic on the web.
Integrating Flash and HTML seems like a popular topic but much of
the information is dated (using FS commands or solutions based on
2000-2004 coding and/or hacks) I am using Flash CS3 and Dreamweaver
CS3. I can use Actionscript 2 or Actionscript 3. Here is my goal
I want to use a Flash navigation in the top third of my page
and have it control and load new HTML pages in the bottom two
thirds of the page. Some of these html pages use SPRY code but most
are simple HTML pages. I prefer Flash over CSS because I have more
control and predictability. What I have found so far is three
different solutions.
1.HTML Framesets. This seems like a really good idea but I
thought using framesets was a fading technique and should be
avoided. Is this true?
2. Using the ExternalInterface class to communicate between
Javascript and Actionscript. This also seemed like a good idea but
it is not clear to me how to implement. Do I combine this with
innerHTML or some type of AJAX technique.
3. Keep everything in Flash and load different swfs into main
Flash page. I like this idea the best and it would work for most
pages but I still like html pages when there is alot of text or I
want to use SPRY techniques.
When I have posted elsewhere I get references to articles
telling me why Flash is bad or framesets are bad or innerHTML is
not standard HTML. The only thing I am sure about is that most
people are pretty passionate about defending their own way of doing
things. I am hoping someone can provide some solid information
about what is possible and how to implement a solution.

It works when you put it online... :)1

Mouse over HTML link causes single frame to display at top of page Netscape only

Having a wierd problem. When you run the mouse over HTML
links on the page a single frame of the flash movie apears at the
top center of the page. It only happens in netscape in firefox
mode. IE, Opera, and Firefox do not have the problem.
Problem site
Thanks in Advance,
Vorsch

The problem goes away if i modify my .css file by removing
the
border: 1px solid #999999;
line from the "a:hover" style.
I ran my css file thru the validator at w3c and its fine. The
Page also validates as xhtml transitional.
and just a note the same file version is on my public server
and my testing server.
Has anyone ever seen this before?? I have several sites with
a:hover effects and flass media and have never run across this
before.

Static text corrupts randomly in html text region

Hi,
I am creating on a page a series of hide/show regions with static html containing images stored in the database. The tags in the html are pretty straight forward, just a few , and <img></img>. The size of the region is about 400-1000 characters. The problem is when I run the page and display the region, I see characters missing from the displayed page or are corrupted. For example an " " tag I inserted would turn into "&lt;br>" or an image name "SummaryOutput.jpg" would be "SumaryOutput.jpg". Sometime the missing character are not even in the text I generate but in the substitution string like #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# where some images gets complete path while others are missing one character in the uri (e.g. "et" instead of "get"). This happens about 70% of the time for some regions with multiple images. The ones with only one image link don't seem to have the problem.
How I created the region is this.
1. creating an an HTML Text Region, hide/show (although I did tried switching to no-template and the problem still existed).
2. upload the images into the db and not assign them to any application.
3. create my html doc using MS Word and save as "filtered htm".
4. open the html doc using TextPad and edit the image links to using the db image (e.g. <img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#imagename.extension" alt="Image Title">
5. Cut&Paste the html code into the Resource textarea of the HTML Text Region. Click "Apply Changes"
6. Display the page. Most of the times the page displays fine, but when there are two or three images (less than 70kb each) contained in the html code I often see the randomly missing characters.
7. When I do view source on the page, I see that the link to the images are corrupted.
8. When I do edit page and look at the region->source. Sometimes I see the characters changed but sometimes not (eg. The name of the jpg is correct in the textarea but wrong in the output page)
Here are the things I've tried which did not work.
1. Remove all html tags from the html, keeping only the <img> tags. So only plain text and <img>
2. Do all the work in one IE6 browser window instead of using two sessions of FireFox and an IE. I thought maybe session states are conflicting.
3. I see the same problems in both IE and Firefox so I don't think it's a browser issue, at least on the viewing end.
4. There are no items in these regions, just text and images.
The behavior I am seeing is completely buzzard to me and I've exhausted all my methods of debugging. I did some searching on the forum and did not see any problems approaching what I am seeing on my server. Has anyone seeing anything like this or have an idea where to look for the problem?
Thanks,
Wayne

nope - it's set to static. I do have a link embedded using
the properties panel and thought that might be the reason. It
wasn't. Strangest thing. I've recreated some of the text boxes and
they are working. It's happened a few times to me - and I'm
beginning to think it is a quirk in Flash 8.

Firefox will not display my HTML file as its contents - only displays the HTML text (firefox 5.0).

I can download a file as a Firefox file (zipped) and it displays successfully. Then I can save the file as a text file and see the HTML text.
When I work on the HTML text file and then try to display the modified file in Firefox 5.0 and Windows XP, Firefox will only show the HTML text, not the display of the contents of the file.

Make sure that the file has a .html file extension if you want Firefox to render the content.
