Flash buttons showing differently in browsers

I just used some simple, built-in Flash buttons (with no
spaces) for my nav bar in DW CS3. They look great and close
together in IE 7, but there is a gap between the buttons in Safari
and Firefox. Any simple explanation? Is it just how different
browsers render flash/html?
Thanks,
Brian

If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
Especially
consider those people who are browsing from a corporate
internet where Flash
is not allowed by the IT staff.
2. Search engines may not parse Flash links - your site will
not be
spidered unless you have redundant HTML links
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
You will have
to remake those buttons.
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons - and for
these reasons,
Adobe has removed Flash buttons and Flash text from CS4.

Flash button shows through Flash Menu

I am using a third party product that has a Flash drop down menu. In DreamWeaver, I added a Flash button on the page. When I activate the drop-down menu, the Flash button shows through the Flash drop down menu. How can I fix this so that the menu covers up the button? I've tried z-index property but that did not work.

Flash rises to the top. See this article on wmode parameter

New IE object fix makes flash not show in other browsers

I have a page containing a flash movie. When I open the html
page in Dreamweaver, it gives me a message saying 'this page
contains <object> tags that may not work properly in the most
recent versions of Internet Explorer. To correct this problem, you
can convert these tags to browser-safe scripts. Do you want
Dreamweaver to convert these tags for you?
However, when I do this, my flash movie does not show up in
my browsers (mac Firefox and/or Safari).
What do I need to do to correct this?

If you had js errors turned on in your IE, then when you
opened this first
link, you would see an error on line 16, stating "Object
expected". This
means that IE is not finding your referenced function -
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http
on the page. This happens because this file -
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
has not been uploaded. Please upload the Scripts folder and
you will see
things begin to work.

Flash not showing up in browsers

Hello. I have been studying this problem in various threads
online and have not found a solution that works for me yet. I am
using Flash and Dreamweaver from Adobe's CS3 Web Premium package
(on a Mac G5 PowerPC if that matters) and have inserted the .swf
file into my Dreamweaver document. It previews fine locally, but
when posted online will not appear in any browser. I have posted
all of the accompanying files: AC_RunActiveContent.js,
ResearchImages.swf, ResearchImages.swd and have verified their
existence on the server. I pasted the code for the flash portion
alone in a file called ResearchImages.html which shows up just
fine. The same code embedded in my index.htm or index.html files
will not display, however. Below are some details that might be
helpful. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. =)
Website and page not displaying flash file:

Same flash file which appears by itself just fine (images
change every 10 seconds):
http://www.biochem.utah.edu/shaw/images/flash/ResearchImages.html
Code for flash portion attached.

Oh! Just found the "Scripts" directory created by DW and
posted it. Everything works fine now. Thank you, "Mad Dog," for
your reply to another similar post.

Recently my iPhone 5 started rebooting to a messed up screen that would flash and show different bars and colors. I would either have to wait a bit to restart it and fix it. But now, it got to the point where I can't even get past the Apple splash screen

My iphone 5 was working fine until it recently started to reboot to a messed up splash screen that would flash and have bars across it. When this happened, I couldn't do anything and had to restart it. I was able to start up the phone sometimes, until just recently. Everytime I started up the phone, it would load up the splash screen and then become distorted, flashy, and sometimes colorful and I could not use my phone. To try and fix this, I put it into recovery mode to do a factory restore, but iTunes can't even restore my phone. I even tried DFU mode.. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Flash Button not showing on php page

Hi Folks,
Hopefully this is a simple problem. I've added a Flash Button
via the Insert Media -> Flash Button in DW8. Unfortunately the
button does not show up when the php page is loaded up to the
server. And yes, I did make sure to upload the button file. When I
look at the source code from the server, the flash part looks a
little different compared to how it normally looks on a .htm page.
Here's what the 'view source' in the browser shows:

David,
I don't know what that file is. Can you elaborate?
Thanks,
Chris

In latest version of MF there`s missing button, which was in previous version: between buttons back/forward and the typing bar there used to be little flash, which showed few last pages I have just browsed. How can I restore it?

If you mean the drop marker then you can still get the History of the Back and Forward buttons if any by either Left-Click and hold for a second or by Right-Clicking them.
If you still want the drop mark there also then there is this Extension at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/
Also the abbreviation for Firefox is '''Fx'''

How to SHOW/HIDE a dreamweaver layer from a flash button?

I have almost 2 weeks tying to find a solution for this. Please help...
-How can you SHOW/HIDE an thml-dreamweaver layer from a flash movie button.
My html layer name is LAYER1, and my FlashMC botton name is FLBOT1
Now, what is the actionscript that im suppouse to place in the flash button?
Please respond, Thanks

Adobe removed Flash Text and Flash Buttons from CS4 for accessibility reasons. Flash buttons aren't web friendly. And if you use this approach, you'll need to work in Flash because DW doesn't write Action Script for you.
That said, you could do something similar without Flash.

Flash button to show html layer

I have embedded a Flash menu into an html doc with a hidden
layer called player. I want a button in the Flash menu to show that
layer. I used the instructions on this website:
http://www.bestflashanimationsite.com/tutorials/1/2/
But it doesn't work. I made a link on the html page that
shows the layer, so the Dreamweaver MM_showHideLayers function is
there in the html head. I tried this in the button actionscript:
on(press) {
getURL("javascript:MM_showHideLayers('player','','show')");
I also tried writing a custom function in the html which does
work from a button in the html:
function showPlayer() {
MM_showHideLayers('player','','show')
and then putting this in the Flash button:
on(press) {
getURL("javascript:showPlayer()");
Which does not work. (following are the Dreamweaver
functions)
Please help!!!!!

I use externalInterface (instead of getURL). Its a great way
to call javascript functions from flash and vice-versa.

Flash buttons not showing/hiding layers in Firefox

Before anyone says to use the search tool, I did that, even googled the problem and no suggestions have yet to work. here is the page http://www.preziosidevelopment.com/dchs/dchs.html it works flawlessly in internet explorer, but fails to work at all in firefox. All the buttons being nested inside table cells is another byproduct of having to design for firefox, if there is a better way of setting those up so they display properly in firefox feel free to let me know. I'm a designer not a coder, so please keep that in mind. Just to clarify, the only problem I am currently having is the first two buttons are not showing/hiding my layers in firefox as they do in internet explorer. Thanks for any help.
Richard Preziosi

I'm a designer not a coder, so please keep that in mind.
Here's a sincere suggestion. Do not use Flash buttons for anything. Really. People who don't have Flash will not see the buttons or be able to trigger anything. Search engines will not see any links that may be embedded in those buttons nor will assistive screen devices. As a result of these as well as other maintenance problems that would affect *you* when you try to maintain them, Adobe has removed them entirely from CS4 (and I say good riddance). Is it possible for you to rethink this entire approach using CSS styled text or ordinary graphic buttons?

Do big picture by flash player 14 shows related to browsers.IE10 best,chrome 37 worst.

What version of Reader are they using, exactly? And are you sure they're
using Reader itself and not opening the file inside a browser window, for
example?

Flash Button not showing

I have inserted a flash button into a side_navigation which
when clicked on is supposed to launch the end users e-mail program
with the address and subject lines pre-populated. This works fine
when tested from another internal server, however, from a remote
machine only a box with the "click here to activate this control"
pop up appears. The original site was created outside of
Dreamweaver using raw html code and Cascading style sheets. Any
help is greatly appreciated!
