Centered flash site with no margins

I was wondering if any one could help me in "coding" my site
to have my flash page be centered and have NO margins.... I know
Kirupa.com had a code on his site in regards to some code to be
placed in the "head" tag of the .html "page" but it has since been
removed. Could anyone here please help?
the ultimate goal is to have the site fill up the entire
screen.
Thanks in advance

if you're using a flash 9 player you can use the Stage's
"displayState" property to go fullscreen. otherwise, none of the
old javascript tricks work with the ie security fixes.

Unable to load flash site with Windows 8.1 and IE11

Hi,
I have spent days trying to get "mypaychex.com" website to load after logging in using Windows 8.1/IE11. The site loads fine in Windows 7 and other browsers but I need it to work with IE 11/8.1. I have tried using compatibility mode, lowered all
security settings, verified shockwave is enabled within the browser, tried various updates as well. I guess this can only be because flash is embedded now with 8.1. Is there a way to disable the Windows 8.1/IE11 embedded flash and have it use the player from
Adobe instead? Anyone have any other suggestions I can try? Or is this a problem with the website itself not compatible? Any help would be appreciated. TIA

Horizontally centering a div with "auto" margins...

I believe this is the first time I've ever encountered an instance where something works as intended in IE7, but won't in IE8+ or FF3.
I am trying to horizontally center a 995px fixed (non-scrolling) div that stretches to 100% vertically.
Here's the code I'm using :
.class {
    height:100%;
    width:995px;
    position:fixed;
    background:no-repeat left center;
    top:0; bottom:0;
    padding:0;
    margin:0 auto;
    overflow:hidden;
As I said, it works like a charm in IE7, but the entire div is left-justified in the viewport on anything more recent than that.
Can anyone spot anything wrong with my method?

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish, but you can't have it both ways.
Use either static (default) positioning and auto (default) margins or fixed positioning with coordinates for top or bottom & left or right. Older IE browsers don't support fixed positioning on anything except the body tag -- which may explain your results.

Flash site with Back Button and Favorites enabled

I've search everywhere I can think and can't find the answer I need.
I want the user to be able to bookmark or use a back button in internet explorer or any internet browser on a 100% flash-based site.
For Example: http://www.mountaindewgamefuel.com/
When you click on any of the link on the top menu, you will be re-directed to http://www.mountaindewgamefuel.com/#/signin if you're not signed in, but you stay on the same page, just the flash changes.
And if you type something in the url after the /#/, like adobe: http://www.mountaindewgamefuel.com/#/adobe
It goes and plays the transisiton and goes to a blank window with section.name as the title of that window, since "adobe" doesn't exsist.
So my question is, How do I make this work Like Pepsi did? Thanks.

Centering flash embedded with swfobject 2.0?

Hi,

It would work fine, but you're using SWFObject incorrectly.
The way you have
it you're just placing it right where your code is - and not
within the
<div>.
Your SWFObject should look more like this:
var fo = new SWFObject("index.swf", "myContent", "800",
"600", "8.0.0",
"expressInstall.swf");
fo.write("myContent");

Navigating through flash site with animation

Hi all,
Obviously i am very new to flash as i think this must be a very basic question....i just can't get my head around it, so would really appreciate some advice.
Basically, what i want to do is have a home page with some images and things on it, and a menu.
When the user clicks on a menu button, i want the images on the homepage to animate away, and be replaced with the chosen page (animated in).
I understand how to animate things using Tweens in the timeline and also in As3 using the Tween Class, but for the animation i'd like to do it's so much easier to use the timeline (i don't think i'd be able to use as3 to do really complicated things yet).
I can figure out how to make the home page disappear, but i can't figure out how to then animate in the correct page. If anyone can point me in the direction of a good tutorial or just give me some hints i'd be sooo grateful!! I think i'm just struggling to get my head into it.
Thanks.

THanks AGAIN moccamaximum!! I feel like i'm being a complete *******!!
I've added an alpha=0 box over all the buttons in the main stage. In the script on the main stage i've added a statement to make it invisible, then if hideImage() or showImage() is called, i make the box visible so that the user can't click any buttons. I'm now having a problem calling the box from the img1 or img2 child movieclips. I've set a new keyframe on the very last frame of the img1 and img2 movieclip and tried to use parent.box.visible=false; but that didn't work....it said possibly undefined variable. I must be missing something and my ignorance of flash is getting really frustrating - i need to learn faster!!
How do i access the box mc from the img1 and img2 movieclips in the as3?
I've changed the main actionscript to this:
menupoint1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startAnimation);
menupoint2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startAnimation);
// 'box' movieclip set to invisible
box.visible=false;
//make object from Images Classes
var img1_mc:img1 = new img1();
var img2_mc:img2 = new img2();
//addallImages, but make them invisible
addChild(img1_mc);
addChild(img2_mc);
var currentImage="";//use this variable to hold the currently active image
function showImage(e:TimerEvent):void {
    box.visible=true;
    this[currentImage].play();
function hideImage():void {
    box.visible=true;
    this[currentImage].play();
var animation_timer:Timer = new Timer(1000,1); // use this timer to create a pause bewtween the animations
animation_timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, showImage);
function startAnimation(e:MouseEvent) {
    if (currentImage!="")
        hideImage();
    animation_timer.start();
    switch (e.target.name)
        case "menupoint1" :
            currentImage="img1_mc";
            break;
        case "menupoint2" :
            currentImage="img2_mc";
            break;

How can I resize my Flash site to fit any screen resolution?

I built a 100% flash site with tiled framing but I have a
problem. My flash was built 766 x 750 pixiels. When viewed at
resolutions greater than 1024x768 the webpage looks great but
anything less than that it looks like @#$@. I know most people
probably view at 1024 x 768. Is there anyway to auto resize based
up on screen resolution or something to detect the screen size and
adjust the webpage accordingly.

tlcarl,

You think so? Even if they have their resolution that high
(which is
fairly standard, nowadays), do you think most people maximize
their browsers
to fill that whole area?

There is, indeed. :) Check out the Stage.onResize event in
the
ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference. That event is dispatched
when the
browser (or whatever container) is resized -- in cases where
the SWF is
embedded with percentages. If that's your aim, you'll need to
code against
that event, which can be done like this ...
http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/flash/how-to-position-movie-clips-browser-resizing
It can take a bit of thought, depending on the complexity of
your goal,
but the result is usually worth it. The site in your URL is
already built,
so this wouldn't do much of anything without opening the
hood, so to speak,
and completely rebuilding the engine. A Flash movie has to be
designed and
programmed to respond to the Stage.onResize event.

How to update flash sites without flash installed

Hi,
aside from using ICE, is there a way for someone to update a flash site with pictures and text who doesn't have flsah installed on their computer? i.e., how can you add as well as replace additional text and image files without doing it in flash and publishing a swf file everytime?
Kind regards,
Steve

It depends on to what extent you mean to add new content. You can add content dynamically, but the groundwork needs to be in place in the swf for the data that defines the content to be processed as well as for placement of the content.
XML is one commonly used way of defining content. All a person needs is an ascii text editor file to change the content of an XML file, and the ability to upload that file to a server (or an interface could also be created for them to create that document online, but that's another system in itself).

FLash site will redirect to 3 subdomains(html,blog,forum)How SEO Friendly is going to be MyWebsite?

I'm building a website which is going to have 3 subdomains to load within . One html is going to promote the services and sell it (135mb), one WordPress blog news (15mb) and one vBulettin forum. For this reason I have a typical flash template with 4 selections, with one click for each of the 4 images which will describe the content, this will redirect people to the right place ( html website,blog, and forum ) . What is the best method to SEO my website ? I need people to know/easy to find me on google, to know abaut the services I offer, blog news and forum. I cannot enter all those menus on the services subdomain because I dont want people to get scared that they have to pay for someting and get out; the blog looks more worst compare with html so I cant enter all links in there..; forum its forum..
So my only decent option is to have this flash site with 3 big options which will redirect people to their choises. But how is going to affect SEO ? am'I going to need to SEO my subdomains, like www.mywebsite.com/services , or the main flash site ?
thank you

I agree with what Ned is saying, the Home page for your site IS normally the most important and should be well packed with SEO targeted content... of which Flash by itself is not very good. In addition, iOS devices like the iPhone will not display the Flash.
So while it is possible to get great page rankings for those various sections, the HTML, Blog, or Forum, it may take longer and lacking good SEO for your Home page, in effect will dillute the overall SEO effectiveness of the site.
So my advise, don't use Flash for your Home page. If you do, then you should use swfobject and create extensive alternate content. This alt content will satisfy the SEO requirements as well as provide a display for iProducts.
For your review:
If you think that Flash is somehow bad for SEO, it's time to dispell that MYTH!
If fact, in some circumstances I'll use Flash INSTEAD of just HTML because then I'll have better SEO than with just HTML alone.
The client provided the artwork for the page... and that's what they wanted to use a .jpg image. Well yes, that could be done in HTML but it would be virtually invisible to Google. So Instead I converted the image into a Flash .swf and used swfobject to display the Flash. swfobject allows you to create alternate content inside the <div> which also holds the Flash .swf, then when the page is loaded it detects if the browser has the Flash pluggin. If it does, it displays just the Flash content, if not, it displays the alternate content. Since almost everyone has the Flash pluggin, for most people the Flash version of the <div> will display.
The alternate content for that <div> can be any regular HTML text, images, media player, links, etc., anything that you would use if you were not using the Flash. Now the best part is that the alternate content can be "over the top" as far as optimizing for SEO, since it will not be seen by most viewers.
Here's another example of SEO with Flash.. again, the page is just a single image provided by the client:
http://www.ksowetsuits.com/
View the source code. The alt content is paragraph after paragraph of information about the site, including lists and links. If it was just the HTML, it might be kind of a boring Home page. But for SEO I can go "over the top" in promoting the site, since most viewers will never see that part... but it's all indexed by search engines. The end result is BETTER SEO using Flash than just HTML.
On another Web site, a Flash video is displayed, the alt content is the complete text narration of the video. Now how many people would take the time to read that if they could just watch the video instead?? again, better SEO with Flash than without. In fact in one case we had first page search result from that video narration within 4 hours of posting the page.
On still another site with a Flash video, the alt content is another video, but a .mov version, which will, in effect play Flash video on the iPhone (not possible you say??). Well since the iPhone does not have Flash pluggin, it simply displays the .mov version of the video, while everyione else sees the Flash version.
So anyway, if Flash is a part of your Web development, you should look into using swfobject and alternate content.

Centering Flash Websites???

Hi people,
I've designed a website in flash but I don't know how to
center it horizontally as well as vertically. I know that if I ad a
<center> tag, that centers it horizontally only. Does anyone
know how to center it so that when you re-scale your browser, the
website remains centered horizontally and vertically?
The code at the moment is this:
<title>main</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">


<center>
<object
classid="clsid:d28cdb6e-ae6d-12cf-97b7-444772540000" codebase="

width="910" height="500" id="main" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="main.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="main.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"

pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>
</object>
</center>
</body>
</html>
For an example to see what I mean look at
http://www.louisvuitton.com
Your help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks.

Well, first off you need to use updated code on your pages so
that IE on PC will show the site without having to have it
"enabled".
I would suggest using the
Express
Install Option listed on the Adobe web site.
After that, head over to
gotoAndLearn and check out
his tutorial on centering Flash sites. Just as an FYI, the way I
implement his cenetering technique on sites
like this one is by
putting the entire "site" inside a movieclip, and then having the
code center that movieclip.
Hope that helps!

FLASH ISSUE WITH MY SITE! PLEASE HELP!

I've uploaded a test site to see how it would look and it seems there is a problem with line spacing or something??!! Flash is not my strong point so I would love some help PLEASE!!! When I view the site running off my laptop (offline) it runs fine, everything is in order. Yet online the spacing issue occurs. Its a problem because the site is fitted into a rectangle type layout that is centered in the screen, because of the spacing issue the text rolls down past the border of the rectangle and even goes out of view towards the bottom of the browser. The flash site pulls the info for the gallery and text for the main sites pages from two xml files.
PLEASE HELP I'M DESPERATE!!!
Big thanks!!!

From the screenshot: Is the spacing problem the space between the bold line of text and the regular text below it?
When you import text from an .xml file, the literal text is usually put into a variable, then that variable is used to populate the dynamic textfield with that text. The htmlText that I was referring to is the text in the .xml file. You mentioned a break tag, so I'm assuming that you are using html formatting on the text in the .xml file. If this is true, then the problem is most likely in the way that the text is organized in the .xml file. Flash sees carriage returns and spacing differently than most current browsers. It works more like older versions of IE in that it incorrectly adds vertical space to text in seeminly random ways.
For instance, if you have text set up like this:
Line one of the text.
<br>
Line two of the text.
Flash will see this as three carriage returns, not two. You may need to re-write the text like this:
Line one of the text. <br> Line two of the text.
Without seeing the layout of all of the files for your movie, I can't really tell where the problem might be with the loading errors. I usually put my external files in folders that are in the same folder as the Flash movie so that the relative path is short and simple.

Some Flash Sites are not displayed with Flash Player 9

Hello everyone,
After having upgraded to Flash Player 9 I cannot view some
flash sites on either FF or IE.
I have checked around with other users also and they cannot
see them either.
Although the page seems to be loading with title etc. it
remains blank or it shows a blank block where it is supposed to be
the flash movie.
The problem is that it only happens to dynamic flash sites
that load text and images from external documents.
With Flash Player 8 they worked just fine.
The problem is that it is our company's page so we want to
have it up and running for everybody.
You can check the page here:

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance

When a customer's business website goes down after installing

figure
out that they installed the Flash 9 player and then I had to
go to the Swish site to find out that Swish files won't run right
on
the Flash 9 player unless they get patched first. After
running the downloaded patch on all the swfs on the site (yes
uploaded
correct files and cleared the cache) there were still odd
things happening. I didn't have time to analyze why this was so, I
just
had to put the site back up and fast. Now that I have that
site back up (I have others that will need fixing too, no doubt), I
will go back and test everything again with Swish.
There are a whole lot of hours being lost over this
Swish/Flash9 player issue. Regardless of who's fault it is, there
are many
Flash sites down now.

Viewing web sites with Adobe Flash contents

How can I view web sites with adobe Flash player plugin for safari on iPad?

Sorry, you can't.
Thoughts on Flash
But a lot of sites are converting to HTML5 and there are other options.
Examples from Steve's link above, "YouTube, with an estimated 40% of the web’s video, shines in an app bundled on all Apple mobile devices, with the iPad offering perhaps the best YouTube discovery and viewing experience ever. Add to this video from Vimeo, Netflix, Facebook, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, ESPN, NPR, Time, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Sports Illustrated, People, National Geographic, and many, many others."

Firefox hangs on all sites with flash content.

Firefox hangs on all sites with flash content. If I disable the flash plugin there is no hanging but obviously no flash content either. I have tried all the suggested actions found in the help sections for hanging and plugin problems. The Honda UK site listed below is one of many I am unable to access with flash enabled.

The key here will be to determine what is different between the machines that work and those that hang. Of all the systems that fail, they are all Windows 7 32bit?
Yep, this issue only happens on Windows 7 32-bit machines, currently 6.
Do you have any 32bit systems that don't fail?
Yep, the most Windows 7 32-bit machines wont fail.
What about hardware, are there similarities here? Attached devices/drivers? Software that is running at the time?
These machines are all from DELL. They all have normal hardware, nothing special. Other machines from same type does not affected. Software: All have standard software distributed via Software-distribution (GPO). Only some PCs have special software, but it is not running. No special drives, too.
Maybe try booting Windows in safe mode to see if it still hangs?
Good idea, indeed - I will try this.
We're definitely interested in what's going on. I'll ask our security and Mozilla folks to see if they have additional clues.
Thanks!
EDIT:
Safe mode: Flash is working! (without disabled Protected Mode!)
I've set msconfig now to: Custom system start and deselected the boxes to load systemservices and system start elements.
So, now windows does a non-safe mode boot but no service or element was loaded except the drivers (right?). Flash is not working with this config!
So, whats the difference between safe mode and normal boot with minimal configuration (see attached picture).
Only drivers will be loaded, right? If so, I can exclude the network and graphics driver as source: graphics driver are updated right now and network was working in safe-mode.
Any new ideas?
