Flashing Border in Java ...

I've spent about three days looking for a way to make a flashing border in Java.
I want to be able to play the game while this border flashes around the title.
What is the best recommended method to do this .. and why .. and how? .. Swing timers ? background loop?
Please help, I'm under the gun on an assignment!

Yes I know about the Thread problems in swing ... but I'll let you fix up the code if you like - this will at least paint a Border and flash it:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
public class IsBorderOrNot {
private JFrame jf;
private JPanel jp;
private EmptyBorder eb;
private MatteBorder mb;
public IsBorderOrNot() {
    jf = new JFrame("IsBorderOrNot");
    jp = new JPanel();
    eb = new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5);
    mb = new MatteBorder(5, 5, 5, 5, Color.BLUE);
    jp.add(new JTextArea(10,10));
    jf.getContentPane().add(jp);
    new Thread() {
      public void run() {
        boolean isRunning = true;
        while(isRunning) {
          try {
            jp.setBorder(eb);
            Thread.sleep(100);
            jp.setBorder(mb);
            Thread.sleep(100);
          } catch(InterruptedException ie) {
            System.out.println(ie);
    }.start();
    jf.pack();
    jf.setVisible(true);
    jf.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
public static void main(String[] argv) {
//    new IsBorderOrNot();
    javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        new IsBorderOrNot();
}

Removing the Flash Border in HTML

Hello there,
Does anyone know if it's at all possible to remove the,
clear, dotted border around any Flash in a HTML document? I've seen
several websites which don't have the border around. I've created a
Flash menu for my website and having the border makes this
difficult, one has to click on the menu then one has to click on
the button to lead them to where they want to go.
Regards,
Kristopher (UK).

Hi,
Yes you can by including your the SWF embed code in a
separate JS file and call it form your HTML page. Adobe released an
extention to solve this problem on the following link:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=7c29e252
And if you search on google you can find more methods to
solve your problem (I guess
http://www.cartoonsmart.com/
got another methods too)
Hope this helps

Flash Border

In IE7 I see a flash object say a flash logo that if you
click it it links somewhere. Well it has a border around it so you
have to clikc the flash object and click it again to go to the url
the logo brings you to. How can we remove this or can it be
removed?

google Active Content
if you are the developer, you can fix this, if you are just a
browser, the only solution is to use a different web browser, ie,
firefox, safari, opera, etc.

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.

Stroke/Border Disappears When Viewing on HTML File

Hello -
I am using Flash CS5.5.
I am working on Flash banners and I want to place a 1 pixel stroke/border around each banner.
I did the usual, created a new layer, used the rectangle tool, put in the correct stroke number (1 pixel), matched the size to the banner and aligned it correctly, etc. The stroke is the exact dimensions of the banner/movie and the stroke is on the top layer.
When I Preview/Test the banners within Flash the stroke/border looks fine. However, after I publish and I view the published SWF and also separately on a HTML page, the border/stroke does not show up on the right side and on the bottom.
If I change the stroke to 2 pixels (from 1 pixel), then the right side shows up but the bottom still does not.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks!!!

Well I found the answer here: http://furizu.net/blog/2009/08/the-myth-about-flash-border/#more-312
Not sure why it has to be done this way but it works. If anyone else has other solutions I am still interested.
Thanks

Problem Publishing to HTML

I don't know if this should go in the Flash or Dreamweaver Forum, but I have a Flash document that I need to translate into HTML. When I publish my file, I open it in Dreamweaver and instead of the gray box with a flash icon in the middle, I get the "Get Adobe Flash Player" Icon. along with the line of text: "This page requires Flash Player version 9.0.124 or higher." I have Flash Player 11, so this shouldn't be a problem. What's even more frustrating is, for testing, I opened a flash document that I already have published to the web and when I publish that file, everything works just fine. I have the Publish settings identical between the two files. I have the SWFObject.js and AC_RunActiveConent.js in my folder with the published file. I also have both of these javascripts in the folder of my previous file.
Has anyone encountered this and knows what could be wrong?
In Dreamweaver, when I preview in browser, it comes up OK in Firefox and Chrome, but in IE I get the icon about the Flash Player.
Also, in Dreamweaver, I can't get my file centered.

When you are testing locally in IE, are you see a yellow bar running across the very top of the Flash? This is an IE security feature for Active X. Be sure to "Allow Blocked Content". That may be all that it takes.
If you are still having problems, post a link to the actual page so we can all take a look. Then it should be very easy to spot the problem.
To center your Flash, you'll need to place the Flash in a container and give that container a set width... it can't be 100%.
Not sure of your HTML skills.... but think of it this way... give the Flash container a width, 960px for example, and then give both the right and left sides an auto margin, like this in the <head>.
<style type="text/css">

</style>
This will center the container <div id="flash">

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.

Flash Web Gallery large photo border erratic behavior

In Lightroom HTML Web Gallery one can define border styles for the displayed photos. I cannot find a similar future in the Flash Gallery however. Is there one??? In any case, the first 6 photos in my Flash Web Gallery appear with a black border around the main large displayed photos. The subsequent photos do not have any border. In either case, it would be nice to have the border appearance consistent and preferably user definable.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi John,
Thanks for that. A bit more digging - preview in browser is fine and export to harddrive then runs in browser OK. I tried HTML gallery and got the same error (No 2 says a file was truncated) so I chucked it all at another server and it seems to be OK. Looks like an ISP problem.
Those unconnected problems were:
Despite repairs I still can't burn to CD, it still says it's been disabled. I don't miss the feature but I like to think my installation is fully functional.
I still seem to have a memory leak in that if I crop,edit and export 46 images as jpg it falls over, very politely - sorry for the inconvenience etc but this is repeatable, yesterday it crashed at 46 and 92 images. I wonder if my 2.3 install was OK and this was behind the second part of my question.

Annoying dotted border around flash objects...

Hey. In the past few months I've noticed every time I have a
flash object on my browser, it's surrounded by a dotted border that
causes me to have to first press on the flash object - and only
then be able to use it.
So, for example, if the flash object is a
menu, I first have to click inside the flash object, and
then the border goes off and the flash is "activated".
Does anyone have any idea what causes this and how can I make
it go away?
Thank you! :)

> I was referring to this annoying dotted box I got around
the flash before
> I
> could use it.
That's what we have been talking about .. all due to the
stupid greed EOLAS
and its patent .. there's been hundreds and thousands of post

Remove Black Border Around Embedded Flash Video

Hi-
I have searched on the Web without luck, so again I have to
turn tot he forum for help. I believe this should be simple and
straightforward, but doesn't appear so. I have a simple little
Flash video embedded in a plain old web page created with DW8. When
the page is displayed in my web browser it has a thin black border
around the video. I would like to remove this border (such as one
might with image border=0). I have tried several "fixes" ranging
from setting the BODY margin height to 0 to altering my external
style sheet. None of these worked. I even created a fresh web page
with no external style sheet at all and the border is still there.
How on earth do I get rid of that ugly thing? Any help is greatly
appreciated.
-=SB

can we see this border? URL?
