CSS appears under Flash anim

I have a dropdown menu written with CSS in a row above a
Flash animation. when the dropdown is triggered, the second tier
menu appears behind the Flash animation... I've tried to set
different z-index with two DIV tags but it doesnt seem to work. Can
anyone help??
Thanks,
Chris

All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so
to speak,
including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and
Active X controls.
This means that each of these will poke through layers. There
is not a good
cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but
if you can be
confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can
use the Flash
wmode parameter.

Red screen appears when Flash animation plays inside Captivate

Has anyone experienced this problem? A Flash animation inserted into Captivate displays a red screen briefly when the animation plays. I've never had this happen before.
Ideas?

Layer appearing under flash object

Hello,
I am having a problem getting a layer that contains a pop-up
menu to appear over the top of a flash object and not under. See
the following site and scroll over "Focus of Care" in the nav bar
to view the problem. (And ahead of time, I know that the image in
my flash is a comp, I am going to purchase the actual image after I
have approval from the person I am working for.)

My site is www.mywarhammersite.host22.com/weapons.html any help would be great.
Thanks

On Macintosh, Adobe Reader 9 don't read flash animations...

Hello,
Ive just downloaded Adobe reader 9 and, on my iMac INTEL 20"C2D under 10.5.4, and flash animations are not read.
A right click on the site of animation says to me: "Animation unloaded", and that as well with Adobe Reader 9.0 or with Safari.
In fact, the problem started about last spring with Adobe Reader 8, after an Apple security update...
Ive contacted many times Adobe Hotline, without result.
These animations are however read without problem under Windows or on my iMac G5 with an older system...
Example, on this page: http://www.photologie.fr/indexStirLed.html, one sees a flash animation in top, on the right.
Once converted into .pdf file: http://www.photologie.fr/stirling/fichierspdf/StirLed.pdf , this flash animation is not visible any more, and the message "Put in buffer memory" appears in bottom on the right...
There is paradoxical that Adobe insists on the facility of reading animations and videos with version 9!
Do you have a solution?
Thanks!

I think that I have it: Adobe Flash Player 9 (9,0,115,0)
Thanks

Alt hover text for a Flash animation?

Hi,
Is it possible to add alt text to a Flash animation so that
when a user
hovers over the animation, text appears in the same way it
does for images?
Thanks.
Nath.

Thanks Fel_911,
I'm very new to Flash. Is there an easy tutorial on creating
the dynamic
text that follows the mouse?
I already have a Flash animation created which is simply a
series of 3 fade
in/fade out images. Do I just add in a background layer,
under my 3
fade-in/fade-out images and create a mouse-over effect for
that background?
How does the text display? Should the text be part of the
animation,
perhaps as a symbol that appears on mouse-over?
Thanks again for your advice,
Regards
Nath.

Embedding a Flash animation in a Flash Site

I'm looking for a solution to the following problem. I am
developing my website in Flash and I would like to show examples of
interactive flash animations I have developed. I imported my my
.swf animation to my flash site library, but when I drag and drop
it to the stage the following happens:
1. The animation plays from frame to frame without stopping.
2. Elements which were hidden (off the stage) in the
animation now show up on the stage.
3. When I open the animation in edit view (double click the
animation on the stage) the entire animation appears as individual
frames on one timeline.
I would like to maintain the interactivity of the animation
on the site (i.e. buttons, tool tips) and I suspect there is a way
to embed the animation in the flash site while in flash.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You don't really want to add new files that way. In addition
to the problems that you list, you will also be making one, large,
file. This means that it will take longer to download, and possibly
play poorly.
You should keep these independent .swf files as they are, and
"import" them using either AS2's loadMovie() or AS3's URLRequest()
to bring each file into your movie.

Is Flash animation possible in iWeb?

I've tried dragging .swf files I made in Keynote into iWeb, but they just show up in a movie player and not a self playing animation. It wouldn't even show the transitions I made. Has anyone figured out if it's even possible to add Flash?
Maybe in March a Pro version of iWeb will debut along with the other new Universal Pro Apps. Here's hopin'. Other than that, iWeb is pretty dang cool.
<http://web.mac.com/archstanton1862/iWeb/TrickRacing>

I'm not privy to the details and deals made between Macromedia (now Adobe) that allowed QuickTime 4 play Flash version 3 formats. The QT 5 allowed version 4 of Flash. And, 6 allowed Flash 5. Seems they were always one version number behind.
QuickTime 7 can't open Flash published higher than version 5, still. No version 6 support and nothing about Flash MX and newer versions (now up to 8, I believe).
If you want to hide the movie controller (I do it all the time in my pages) just set the html code for controller="false" in both the object and embed tags.
QuickTime also allows "progressive download" (a.k.a. Fast Start). Again, a simple html tag is all that is usually needed (autoplay="true") for this function to work.
The feature of Flash animation that allows this speed is its use of "objects". Once created, they can be morphed into different shapes or reused without increasing file size. Video formats can't do that. And neither does your Keynote export even though it is in Flash file format.
Vector graphics (scalable) are another Flash feature but QT can do some vector graphic formats (text files are an example).
Flash files usually display quickly (small file size) and don't demand much on a CPU because of what they are. Nothing to do with the file content,
Lastly, the Flash format was never intended for "video" formats. They don't do the colors (8 bit 256 colors is the normal limit of Flash) that most graphics now demand.

Send score of flash animation in a slide of captivate 6.

Hi,
I want to insert a slide captivate named January 1 swf flash animation in which a score appears at the end of this swf animation. I will wish that captivate gets this score and place it on the slide named 2. Do you know how? I guess it must be programmed into the flash animation but what code returned for captivate know to interpret it?

You may be able to use some of the original code. A widget is also an SWF. It just has certain code that Captivate requires in order for Cp to see it as a widget.
You can either use Adobe's widget templates (see their Help doco) or you can use the WidgetFactory API by Tristan the Widget King:

Get border when resizing flash anim in dreamweaver

Hello, I'm needing some help , I'm not sure weather its something i'm doing in dreamweaver or weather I need to export the flash anim with the document properties just a little bit smaller than the flash anim when exporting when in theory shouldn't have to do?
the problem I'm having is I export a flash anim out of flash I make sure the document properties and the flash anim line up so theres no visible boarder when exiting.
when I'm at the button stage and drag onto the stage to be able to export, ( sometimes I find that the flash border - say if my anim is 220 by 185 . when i click on it (dragged button with movie inside from libarary to stage)
the stage - as I am told I can't export a flash anim with an alpha white off the flash stage I have to make the stage the same size as the button -
So i make the stage size 220 by 185 when I'm dragging the button to line up to the stage I find sometimes its off?
Is there a better way to export a flash anim as it is without having to change stage properties then dragging the button to fit the stage then get url options ect.
anyways. I am finding that I am having to make the stage size (in flash ) a few extra pixels smaller than the box button 220 by 185 so what i'm doing is making the stage say 218 by 183 to then draggin the button inbetween the lines on the doccument border in flash. then exporting.
I find if i Don't do this sometimes in dreamweaver, when I open dreamweaver instert app div then import swf into the app dif then resize the swf I get a boarder.
But even then I find sometimes if i do an app div then insert media swf and resize the swf i get a border, say if i make the boarder properties in flash red.
sometimes I get a red boarder.
but on other pages say i have a about page I resized it its fine then on another page import app dive then impor the exact same swf file resize it it suddenly gets a boarder (i'm testing using red backround in flash when exporting as a movie.
why do sometimes I get a boarder around swf in an app div when importing into dreamweaver.
thanks kindly

I read this twice and still don't quite know what you're asking. Flash questions are best posted in the Flash forum.
Animations used in Web pages should be sized appropriately before you bring them into Dreamweaver. Same goes for static images. If you need a 200px wide banner, design it at 200px wide.
As for APDivs, honestly don't know why you would need one. A regular CSS division (no positioning) is all that's required for 98% of layouts. http://apptools.com/examples/pagelayout101.php
For answers to layout questions, we need a link to your test page.

Place fixed flash animation in Dreamweaver

Hi All,
I am a complete beginner with Dreamweaver, and having great
problems fixing the size of a flash animation I'm playing as an
intro. I have managed to get the animation in and it centred, but
when I tested it on another computer I noticed it had stretched and
for some reason it was possible to minimise the animation by using
the + and - signs whilst in the browser window. How can I prevent
this from happening, so no matter what machine you view from it
keeps the size and position the same.
Any advice will be much appreciated.

Hi
You will have to place your code for the flash file inside the code for the picture frame. If you have used the picture frame as a background image then position your flash file using a combination of css rules as required.
Another way (if you have flash pro), is to use the picture frame as a skin for your flash file.

How to email a flash animation

I am trying to email a flash animation to our sales force. I
cannot seem to make this work. The only way that works is making it
an animated gif. However, when I do this, it looks more like an
illustration and my text gets all outta whack. I have read that you
can put it on a server. I am not sure how to do this. Do I have to
have a web site?

Then dzedward's solution is the route you need to go.
Upload the .swf to a server, place the address for the .swf
file in your email, and then send the email. Send the email to
yourself first to ensure that it's working properly.
Be warned though, many people have the security settings on
their email client set such that .swf files are blocked from
appearing in an email. Make sure you warn the client about this,
and suggest adjusting their security settings to allow the content
through if necessary.

Flash animation doesn't display on firefox

I have three flash banners embedded with swfobject in a javascript slider (jquery bxslider plugin). Each banner has three ActionScript ExternalInterfaces:
* calling restartBanner() from JavaScript restarts the animation so that I can restart it whenever the slide is selected
* calling stopFlash() stops the animation
* on the last frame of each banner, bannedEnd() is called so that I know when to proceed to the next banner
Everything seems to be working correctly in Safari and Chrome, but in Firefox the last (third) banner doesn't seem to start playing. The weird thing is that even though you can't see the animation (it simply displays the first frame), at some point bannerEnd() is called, so internally the flash animation is working.
At first I thought it's because the container with the banner is not visible and tried modifying the slide's DOM in hope of triggering a re-render and forcing the browser to start the animation (as seen in onSlideAfter method), but that didn't help. I don't have much experience with flash and couldn't find any relevant solutions or similar problems online, so I don't really know where to look.
It's also not the issue of the one particular banner - if you change the order, the problem persists with the last (third) banner.
I isolated the code from the rest of the page and it can be seen here: https://pang.fraktal.ee/~stepan/flash_banner_issue/
As I said, the issue seems to only be with the Firefox browser, so it seemed appropriate to seek help here.

Hi Stalaryn,
Thank you for your question, I understand that you have three flash banners on your website.
In your test the title and the span are different, but the active class is working. Its just that last div that is not loading. As well as the data target in the last tile is not as specific as the others, is it the url of the swf file? I can understand the frustration here.
Can you please file a bug in bugzilla.mozilla.org under web compatibility with reference to your silder?

Flash Animations to HD?

Hi Folks, Hope this is the right forum...
I've used flash for years and exported video for FLV viewing, but I'm stumped by a client request. I have to admit, I've only concerned myself with .mov or wmv HD output for regular video.
What are the HD output options to get good quality flash animations and
bitmaps out of a Flash presentation? Use only vector graphics? Scale down
600 dpi images for the stage, but leave them at 600 dpi? Use huge screen
layouts of 2400 x 1900 ???
Can you output without causing the jaggies?
Thanks
Jeff

I am thinking the client wants a Flash player swf at HD, but Flash exports of themselves don't do a 720 scale since they are web based at 72 dpi displays... It is different when exporting from a FLV or other video film source through flash. But I'm concerned about the Flash animations as exports. The other problem I'm running into is that the flash sound tracks are shot when trying to export swfs from QTPro to any format. It appears the swf tracks are muxed. My FCP is so out of date, it only runs in Classic, so I've been reluctant to upgrade just for this purpose...
