Controlling where flash movie loads on a web browser

I want to have the index page for my site open with a flash
movie on top of the rest of the content of the page at a set pixel
distance from the top of the page and centered horizontally in
relation to the browser. I have been able to make this work with an
absolute location using CSS elements in Dreamweaver and the
equivalent of what used to be layers. It all works as long as the
position of the layer is absolute, and your monitor settings are
pretty standard. Otherwise the flash plays on the left:
http://www.iconoclastic.net/metaphordogs/index.html
When I try to make it a relative location, it moves to the
top of the browser. When I try to make it relative to a table, it
displaces the table content rather than playing over it.
Any assistance would be appreciated

HELP!! White frame where Flash movies should be!!!

Can't figure a single reason why this is doing what it's
doing. Everything works fine before I create the projector.....but
once I launch it and test, all my Flash movies are just white
frames of the same size as the movies are supposed to be. No sound
or anything. Does the same thing on the Mac or PC side. I've tried
checking and unchecking DTS, etc. but I can't figure this one out.
My project is due TODAY....first time I've had this problem
before, ever.....HELP!!!

I thought about that (actually made that mistake with the
Buddy API Xtra), but I just now got it to work....seems as though
it doesn't like talking to a shared drive space between my Windows
and Mac partitions, even though it'll play just fine within
Director while I'm working on the project. I copied everything
over, all the directories, etc. to my Windows side, created a test
projector from there, and voila!
Thanks for the suggestion; I used to make that Xtra mistake a
LOT.

Flash movie is repeating in safari browser

Have inserted a flash movie into a web page using dreamweaver. Have exported the flash movie out as window mode = transparent.
have made the <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> tags. Works ok on most browsers except Safari. It seems to repeat the movie vertically (well just a few pixels of it. Is there any way to constrict the Flash object tag so it does not repeat vertically in Safari?

Automatic scale of Flash movie to fit different screen/browser sizes

Hi guys,
I am a mid level Flash user. I have a online portfolio site which I have had running for around 4 years.
The site at the moment is in its 4th incarnation as I keep growing tired of the layout and design and keep striving to improve it visually. The previous designs have always been at the standard 800x600px or slightly bigger. So when viewed on the majority of different screen sizes and browsers the site was always fully visible at 100%.
For the latest redesign I've opted for a much larger site size of 1024x768px. This is obviously alot clearer for the user and looks great when viewed on a 19" monitor and above. I for example have a 27" iMac so the site in my opinion looks great.
The problem I have is when the site is viewed on a smaller screen 17" and below, laptops etc. Due to the size of my Flash site if I view it on a laptop screen the side and bottom scroll bars obviously appear on the browser. I want to know if there is anyway that I can publish the Flash site so that whenever the site is viewed on whatever sized screen or browser it is always seen at 100% without scrollbars.
I have played about with the publish settings but can't seem to find a way to do this. I have also downloaded SWFFit (Flash Fit) but i'm not sure whether this will do the trick?
My site can be viewed at:
www.nineteeneightyone.co.uk
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I was a little confused when you mentioned wanting to "scale" the site and then you mentioned that "the site was always fully visible at 100%".
Now I understand that when you say 100%, you simply meant that all of the site was visible at the same time... no scrolling needed.
"whenever the site is viewed on whatever sized screen or browser it is always seen at 100% without scrollbars".
By this I assume you mean that the site is fully visible? not that you want to view the site at !00%... correct?
Typically when discussing Flash scaling, 100% mean 100% of the browser window, and has nothing to do with how much of the site is visible inside that window.
When looking at Flash scaling, there are a number of things to consider, width, height, aspect ratio, and the use/no use of scrollbars.
Using a size of 1024 X 768 is a good example of a size that will require scrollbars or downscaling in order to display in a Web browser on a 1024 X 768 monitor. A 1024 X 768 will only display about 1000px or less in width and of course with the Web browser address bars etc, a height of 600 or so would be more realistic. So by default, the size requires both horizontal and vert scroll bars when viewed on a 1024 X 768 monitor.
So what would be required to display the entire site without scrollbars? Well in this case, since only 600 px in height are available, the height has to be downscaled about 78% of the original height... so to maintain the same aspect ratio (the ratio of width to height), then the width was also be downscaled to about 78% or original or about 800 px wide... OK that's fine, but because the monitor is about 1000px wide, there will now be about 100 px unused space on the right and the left.
By default, Flash likes to maintain that aspect ratio, so that round things stay round and square things stay square. It just means that as you increase or decrease width or height, the corresponding dimension will also change.. decrease height.. and width decreases also.
Here is an old post that illustrates Flash scaling and how aspect ratio can be maintained or distorted:
Here are examples of different scaling parameters available in the Publish settings. You can also add these parameters directly in the html (<param name="scale" value="noscale"). All the examples replace the actual Flash dimensions with 100% for both width and height (width="100%" height="100%"). These examples use the old <object> and <embed> to illustrate the different ways to scale Flash. Once you understand how it works I’d recommend that you use swfobject to place the Flash in your final project.
View the source code for each page to see the full code.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/exact_fit.html
"exactFit" scales the file to fit exactly within the confines of the screen, irregardless if the movie becomes consequently distorted. The original aspect ratio is not maintained. So round things are not round and squares are not square.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/noScale.html
"noScale" is the default setting, and causes the movie to be displayed at the originally designed dimensions.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/no_border.html
"noBorder" causes the movie to be scaled to what ever dimensions are needed to have no border surrounding the movie within the player, which consequently could result in some of the movie being cut off from view. In other words, the movie will maintain the original aspect ratio and will fill the screen completely. But if the movie has to be streched wider to fill both sides of the screen, it will also stretch taller, but then some of the top and the bottom of the movie may be cut off from view.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/show_all.html
"showAll" scales the movie to the size of the screen (which could cause pixelation if the file contains raster information), the difference between showAll and exactFit is that showAll mantains initial movie size proportions. Because it maintains the original aspect ratio, there can be space to the sides or the top and bottom. But everything always shows and they are not distorted. But notice the photo in the center, it becomes pixilated at larger screen resolutions.
The trickiest part of trying to go full screen is that it’s difficult to make the Flash wider without making it taller also, that is, to maintain the correct proportions or aspect ratio of everything on the stage. These methods are just simple scaling accomplished with html. There are also methods to dynamically scale the stage and it’s elements using Actionscript… but that’s a much more complex undertaking.

Some questions about the limit of memory usage of Adobe flash player in different OS & Web Browser

Hi Adobe experts,
I'm from HP, and now using Adobe flash player making some products about massive data displaying.
For my target, I need to show more than 200 K rows in client web browser, using AdvancedDataGrid.
And that may needs more than 200M to cache the data in Web browser memory space.
So, my questions are:
Does there any memory usage limit in flash player?
Say, if we have 4G bytes of physical memory in machine, in Windows, how much can I use in flash player?
Also, if we have 4G bytes of physical memory in Linux, how much can I use in flash player?
Does it depends on the Web Browser?
Say, is there any difference between different web browsers?
If the limit exists, can we control the limit?
Say, can we define some parameters in the tag in web page to expand the limitation?
Or, can we try to control this limitation by the Flash player management which exists in the Windows Control Panel?
Best Regards

1. Yes. The Toolkit for CreateJS is an extra downloadable extension for Flash CS6. It will publish html and js files that will provide the animation instead of the swf that you would normally publish. The success or failure of the resulting javascript version of your animation is the result of working within the constraints of the toolkit. You are pretty much constrained to using the timeline in Flash for your animations. If you work only in Actionscript, then the output will be very disappointing.
2. Edge outputs javascript, css, and html to give you an animation. The user interface allows you to design within the constraints of what Edge can do. You can preview and adjust and tweek your animation as you work. Edge is an html5 tool. It can create html5 animation. It is not a replacement for Flash. It is something that you can use instead of Flash to embed animation in html.
The problems and benefits of each are unique. Neither is a good substitute to learning javascript, css and html5. If you don't understand the code that is created from each of these tools, you can easily end up with huge, bloated, files that perform poorly. I'm very biased toward actually knowing what is going on. If I need to edit something, I want to be able to go into the code and make a change, not add an additional chunk of code to work around what was there. I don't use the timeline at all, and so nothing that I have will publish using CreateJS. Well, it will publish, but nothing happens because there is nothing on the timeline to translate.
You can download a trial of Flash CS6 and try the Toolkit for yourself. Edge is still in free preview, you can get a copy at http://labs.adobe.com and try it to see how it works.
Also, if you're not using the Greensock Animation Platform with Flash, have a look at that. It has recently been extended to provide Javascript analogues for most of the Libraries. http://www.greensock.com/

How can I remove the thin black border of Flash movie when viewed in a browser?

There is a thin border at the top and left margins of my Flash movie when the .html is viewed in a browser. How can it be removed?
Here's the movie.
One solution suggests replacing some code, but the code they suggest replacing doesn't even exist in my html file.
I have found questions similar to mine being asked all over different forums, but their solutions either don't work, or like the above, don't really apply. For such a common problem, finding the solution is getting a little frustrating.
I'm using Flash CS3 on a Windows PC rrunning XP professional.

Okay, I found the answer. It turns out that when I made the buttons in Flash (so the movie would have clickable links), the default stroke color was set to black. Change it to white and the outline is gone.
As for appearing only on the top and left of the movie - for some reason the bottom and right is being cropped a bit when it's placed in to the html page. But that's a topic for a different discussion.

Where is documentation about Adobe Reader web-browser plugin API?

When Adobe Reader is chosen as plugin to open PDF's inside a web-browser it reacts to some javascript commands in the web page that hosts the <object> tag like "goToPage" or similar. I would like to know which other javascript commands (and events: something like "onPageChanged", for example) are available. Where can I find documentation?
Thanks

Microsoft hasn't updated its Windows Media Player plugin for Firefox for a while, so 3-year-old documentation may be current. I recommend using MSDN as a resource, and particularly articles indicating which features work in Firefox.
You also can work out development issues on a forum more focused on that, the unofficial [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25 mozillaZine Web Development board]. It's a separate site (with separate registration).

Scaling My Flash Movie Proportionally To Fit Any Browser

Hi,
Thanks for any help.
I am trying to make my flash site scale to the browser size, just like this site: http://www.flashcomponents.net/upload/samples/1213/index.html?full=true
The reason is because I want to design for bigger screens (that most of us have) yet still be able to view my website on small monitors i.e. 800 x 600.
I don't think I want a 'liquid/fluid' layout (as mentioned in many tutorials) because they can compromise the design aesthetic if browser window is too big or small.
I just want the movie to shrink or grow proportionally with the browser. I would also like it to stop growing beyond the dimensions that I build the flash movie- to avoid losing bitmap quality.
I currently have my flash centered in the browser with fixed dimensions. What settings do I need to change in Flash or Dreamweaver to make this happen? Also, if you have any comments or criticisms about this type of layout please do mention it. I have found only one issue with this layout - it does not zoom in when you press "command & +", but other flash sites do.
Thank you!

Hi animated_cloud.
In all honesty, I dont think you should create a scalable template if you will be using bitmap images in your movie. On the other hand, if you will be using vector images, or dinamically drawn content within your movie, then making it scale is fine. But this is up to you! =)
ok. first off, you should go check in your File ---> Publish Settings. In the SWF Tab you should see scaling options. You should play around with some of these to understand what each do.
Have a look through those settings, and if you cant find what you want come back and we'll go from there.
good luck.

Flash movies load 100% but don't play all the way through

I'm having some problems with my website. Out of the 8 movies
on my site, two of them load 100% but stop playing halfway through.
(Both are 30 seconds long but one stops after 10 seconds and the
other after 20.) When I preview the movies in Flash CS4 everything
plays all the way through, even when I preview in Dreamweaver as
well. But when I load everything and go to my website, they stop
playing. Is this a problem with flash, dreamweaver, or the media
encoder? Can someone please help me?
Thanks.

I am using the flv playback component in flash. I don't know
where the problem is because when I preview everything in flash all
the movies play all the way through. No matter how many times I
re-encode the .mov in media encoder it still stops at the same
place every time. I have gone back to After Effects and rerendered
the original .mov and tried again and yet it still stops in the
same place. I did have the same problem with another .flv file. I
re-encoded it and now it plays fine but the one I'm still having
problems with I have encoded 5 times and it STILL stops in the same
place.... I even watched the file in Adobe Media Player and it
plays all the way through. I don't know where the problem could
be.....

Problems with Flash movie loading. Please help!

Hi all,
Thanks for the interest in my post...
I created a website for a client in Flash 8 and although the
client and myself can view the site, he has said that some people
have contacted him saying the site won't load.
I've put this down to them not having Flash Player 9
installed on their machine (as they can view other sites I've done
in earlier versions of Flash but not this one) but apparently one
of the people who couldn't see it got the latest version of Flash
and the site still wouldn't load.
The website is at: www.petersnowdon.com and I would be most
grateful if a few of you good people would be able to check it out
to see if you have any viewing problems and if you have any
suggestions as to what might be causing this.
Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.
All the best,
Mark

Tell those people to:
same damn problem I was probably having...When using IE and

not....YOU MUST FIRST UNINSTALL ADOBE FLASH PLAYER USING THE ONLY
TOOL THAT WILL DO THIS WHICH IS THE FLASH PLAYER UNINSTALLER FROM
THE ADOBE WEBSITE....BE SURE AND SAVE IT TO YOUR DESKTOP BECAUSE
YOU WILL BE USING IT FOREVER.....Once you have used the uninstaller
program you can then successfully and truthfully download the
latest adobe flash player.......WILL SOMEBODY FROM ADOBE FIX
THIS!........
Adobe
Uninstaller at bottom of page
There seems to be an "object" in the temporary files object
folder that is NECESSARY for proper Adobe Flash
function…..see for yourself...tools-internet
options-General-Settings-then click view objects.....here it is:
{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}
When you clean out your temporary files this goes with it and
your flash will NOT operate...you can try and reinstall it all
night long...your dead...nothing....you must FIRST GO TO THE ADOBE
UNINSTALLER and run that program to uninstall COMPLETELY the
flash....Having done that, you can now install the flash and this
time it will take......
Let me know the results………..

Do you have Yahoo mail on your PC? If you do, the same email with the attachment will be there. Otherwise, there are programs you can download such as Dropbox on iPad and dropbox on your PC, which permits file sharing between the two devices. But, you can't really just download a file to your iPad natively.

Hi,
If you have the actual documents in a String object it should be pretty straight forward, just set the content type of your output stream from your servlet/strut to whatever type you need. For a nice article, have a look at:
