Cropped Flash in HTML

I am testing a carousel menu and have uploaded the test pages to www.garynewport.com.
If I run the flash directly (http://www.garynewport.com/menu.swf) then it runs as I want it to.
If I run it within an HTML page then it is smaller, tucked to the right and is cropped.
If I create the HTML within Flash (Publish) then the same problem.
Can anyone help me please?

Hello,
I have just played around with CSS...and hopefully got what you are after.
I think KGLAD was correct in the beginning, your embed tag in the HTML is incomplete.
Here's what I did:
enclosed the <embed> tag around <object></object> tag. (this is the correct way to embed, Google "embed flash in html" for more examples)
set the style of <object> tag to be <object width="100%"> (this is optional, I just do it anyway...can't remember the reason)
wrape the <object> and <embed> in a <div class="spinning-menu"> (this is the best pratice, objects should get wrapped by divs, beside, its lot easier to assing divs with CSS classes and styles later on)
create a CSS class .spinning-menu { margin: 0 20%; }, this will center your spinning menu, leaving 0% margin at the top, while 20% margin left and right. The % are respective to the window/browser size, so that when you resize the window, the margins are maintained.
change the width property of the <embed> tag to be 100% (this is to ensure your flash shows 100% of the widths)
Just a screen shot....making sure this is what you are after....the white border is just to show you where is the <div>, not included as part of the steps above. As you can see, the movie is not at the center of the page, and not cropped (I could only see 1/2 of the blue men in your home page)
Hope this helps....

I'm sure weebly have instruction for it and would be best to
try to search the site.
In most cases you upload the file to some folder and define
the path in your embed tag,
or upload to your hosting space and direct that path to the
file there.
As I said, each company practice differently, check with
them.

How to "crop" flash file in Dreamweaver

Is it possible to "crop" flash file in Dreamweaver, for
example I want to eliminate the white margin on the left side of
the swf file.
Do I have to change the original file (in Flash). Please help
me to solve the problem, Thanks!!!

In the embed tag, add wmode="transparent"...this will make
the white match your background color. It will not resize the
stage.

Control Flash from HTML (k)

I have a button in HTML that I want to use to control the
flash on the
page it sits on.
When the button is rolled over, I want to pass a variable to
the Flash
movie so that something happens.
How can I do this in Dreamweaver?
-Kirk

It's a stupid way of doing it, but I got it to work using the
FSCommand.
I send the user to a frame in the Flash movie. That frame has
the
variable set to the "On" state. I then have them go to
another frame for
the "Off" state.

Every time you open page, flash reload from scratch. That's
how it works.
You can use frames and keep the menu in frame, which would be
easiest solution.
Or you could use Shared Object, something like flash's form
of cookies.
Make a record every time you press button, read that record
every time you
open the page and based on result do something with the menu
to indicate
that this is the clicked location, tho take note, it still
will be loading
the file from zero, every single time you open new html page.

When is Firefox metro going to come to 32 bit windows 8? and can improve flash and html 5 performance!

When is Firefox metro going to come to 32 bit windows 8 and can you improve flash and html 5 performance it cant play 1080p videos smoothly I love Firefox but I'm using IE 10 for browsing and video, then Firefox for developing but want to use it for everything!

This article might answer your Windows 8 questions:
[[Does Firefox work on Windows 8 and Windows RT?]]
Link: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/does-firefox-work-windows-8-and-windows-rt?
As for performance issues in Firefox with Flash 1080p videos, Information about your graphics driver might help. See:
*[[Use the Troubleshooting Information page to help fix Firefox issues]]
This Adobe page might also be helpful (it recommends disabling hardware acceleration in Flash settings as a possible workaround):

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

Export motion to flash or html 5?

I like the creative possibilities in Motion but am wondering if there is a way to incorporate this into webpages via flash or html 5? Perhaps some sort of export or conversion?

Most browsers can handle H.264 files, or at least .mp4 files (nowhere as good.) It's coding for the players that's the pain...
FFMpegX (ffmpegx.com) will convert video (.mov) to .FLV (but I'm not sure it would be the most recent type of flash file) — there are instructions how on the /flv.html page.
For HTML5 (webm format) there is http://mirovideoconverter.com (open source/free) which, I just found and haven't tried yet (but I'm definitely going to check it out!)

Crop flash movie from top ???

I'm trying to crop my flash movie from the top. I'd like to
crop it by 20 pixels or so. I heard there was a way to do this
using the "SALIGN" parameter and alignment tags but I don't know to
code it. Can someone revise my code (below) to include the proper
parameters and tags? Thanks.

Flash hijacking HTML links while images are loading

I've designed a slide show player using Flash and Actionscript 3.0 which loads several external images. While the images are loading, the HTML links on my page (outside of the Flash movie) don't work. As soon as all the images are loaded, the links start working again. It seems like the Flash player is hijacking the browser while the images are loading which can take the better part of a minute depending on my connection speed. I can click an HTML link once during the loading time and as soon as the images have loaded, the browser loads the new page (the one the HTML links to). Once all the images are in my Temporary Internet Files folder, this problem ceases to exist (since the images no longer need to be downloaded). It's only first-time viewers that will have this problem, but it's a pretty major problem.
To see what I'm talking about, go to:
http://www.ericlindberg.com/indexTemp.html
Click the Images button after the "Loading..." animation disappears but before all the images are loaded. As the images load the thumbnails at the bottom of the Flash player go from 50% to 100% opaque. If you click the "Images" button before all the thumbnails are 100% opaque, nothing happens. However, once they are all loaded and the thumbnails are all 100% opaque, the "Images" page loads. You can do the same thing with any of the subpages in the Images section of the site and get the same results.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Joe

I have something similar on my site.

You might try using CSS rollovers instead of MM (javascript) rollovers. Straight HTML links load fast and work immediately.

Firefox 11 beta is having issues loading Flash and HTML content, shows plain text instead of images

I'm not sure what is causing the problem but it has been happening since beta 10 and now its also in beta 11. Randomly when I load any web page the page is displayed in plain text leaving all the HTML or flash content blank. Yes I have the most recent version of flash installed along with Java just in case it was looking for that mess as well. Sometimes the pages load fine, and sometimes they don't, it's like playing lotto with the internet. The only fix I know of is to either keep refreshing the page and "hope" it catches it on the reload, or closing Firefox and running CCleaner. Some times FF will load some of the visual data and leave gaps but usually its just basic text mode. I'm at a loss as to whether the problem is from Firefox or my ISP being a douche, either way its annoying that Firefox is not showing internet pages like it used to.
Hate to see it happening but it looks like Firefox is on its way to being just another Internet Explorer clone (failure). Should have stayed with your original team, all the new folks you have hired are really mucking up the whole project and its goal of a free and open internet. Not to mention writing bad code and costing you money and more importantly the user base.
(Update, now it's not doing it go figure, but I'm sure it will do it again at some point, perhaps its not Firefox and something else, I'll keep my eye on it and try to report any findings)

If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extension) like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flash Block</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Embedding Flash in HTML using Dreamweaver - stopped working

Hi all, not really sure what's going on, but I've done this many times before and it's worked fine.
I've previously embedding Flash videos I've created in Premiere and/or converted using other software. I simply drag and drop the Flash file where I want it and then adjust layout using code/design etc and that's it, job done. It's always played back fine.
Now for some reason I've tried doing it again this morning and can't figure it out. When I preview the file it doesn't even show the video, but instead displays all the icons for the controls at once in a grid where the video is meant to be. I've tried in IE, Firefox and Chrome, updated drivers, windows, Adobe, Flash etc all to no avail.
I've even tried doing it in a blank HTML page in case some of the template I might have been using was interfering for some strange reason; still no luck. What's even stranger is that a site I created last year is also now not displaying Flash (FLV) content locally, but is working fine on the server.
Does anyone have any ideas?
(CS5 Dw:V11 build 4993, Win7 64bit SP1)
I've pasted the code from the blank HTML page. It's probably something really simple that I've not noticed:

Im' having a VERY similar problem with a few estra 'happy' moments. I have a blog (WP). On this simple and VERY basic blog (with almost NO plug ins) I have attempted to embed FLV videos with CS$ Dreamweaver code.
(This code is different in CS$ than it was in earlier versions as it now calls to the FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf as the player and uses Flashvars to pass the value of the FLV. PReviously, it was four simple lines of code that pointed directly to the SWF)
Here was my process - I encoded the files with AE and Media Encoder to end up with Transparent FLV's. These, I then setup in Dreamweaver so I could copy the embed code. On my first attempt, it worked PERFECTLY. I was testing one particular flv, got the code and inserted it into the blog page with some special CSS to position it.
The movie played perfectly.
Then things got weird.
I was excited I had a solution, so I went to put another video on another page. No luck. The second page was playing the video from the first page. As if I had copied the same code, but I hadn't. I copied code that was 'pointing' to the new file, but for whatever reason, the new file would not play.
I did EVERYTHING. I deleted all the pages and strted fresh. I deleted the FLV's and reuploaded them. I created different folders and put each flv in it and created index.html files for each (assuming possibly there was a hardcoded element in the FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf). I copied and pasted back and forth for nearly 6 hours.
Nothing. Each time I would copy and paste code into a blog page, it would simply pull the original video.
THEN....things got worse.
I pulled one video off of the server, and now NONE work. I can't get ANY videos to play. Worse, I still have the 'express install' link showing.
Ok, so here is what I am trying to figure out;
Does the NEW DW CS4 code somehow have control over the file that is called? Further, HOW can I get more than one FLV to play across a whole blog site.
Here is a link to one of the pages that HAS code but is calling NOTHING. And please know that I have left copies of the necessary files ALL over the server. So they are in the root, in the 'files' folder, in the talent folder and everywhere.
Is there a conflict flash hits when there are multiple FLV's being called? Is there a way to do this? Please help....
Thank you

CSS, Flash, or HTML? What is causing the white vertical bar?

I am using an I-frame to embed a photo gallery that was created with Adobe Bridge CS4. Adobe Bridge instructed me to make the iframe height = 75% of the width. The code is <iframe src="PhotoAlbum/index.html" width="900" height="675" frameborder="0"></iframe>
#photoAlbum contains the iframe with the following properties:
#photoAlbum {
margin-top: 20px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: auto;
width: 900px;
text-align: center;
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
border-top-width: 2px;
border-top-style: groove;
border-top-color: #333;
I tried changing the width to 960, 900, 850 etc with no success.
I have tried making the background of #photoAlbum black with no success.
The link to the photo album is http://www.gigharborrealestate.com/youtube/016/PhotoAlbum/index.html
The site that I am having problems with is http://www.gigharborrealestate.com/youtube/016/ On the right side of the Trelliis Grove Photo Gallery is a white vertical bar. If you go to /PhotoAlbum/index.html there is no white bar.
Why does this bar show up when /PhotoAlbum/index.html is put into an I-frame? How can I get rid of the vertical bar?

Cool so where do I start
I found this Tutorial:
