Flash Menu problems in Firefox

I've installed a flash menu for this site: www.phoenixhealingarts.org. In Firefox the buttons and drop down effect (located over the outpatient programs button) does not work properly sometimes when clicked or moused over the first time. It's as if you have to click into the menu to trigger any navigation or effects. Surprisingly the menu works fine in IE8. Also, a dotted line appear around the div containing the swf. Anyone else experience this or have a solution?
Thanks in advance,

Flash Layering Problem in Firefox , Please Help.

Hi,
I am having a problem with Firefox and Safari. I am trying to
place video over an already emdedded flash file. Here is an example
www.mjmi.com when viewed on IE the layering is fine and you can see
both flash videos. When you view it in Firefox or safari my video
with the actors falls to the back of the original flash video.
I have tried every type of positioning but the video keeps
falling behind the other one.
Does anyone have a solution for this? With out having to
combine the flash files.
Thanks so much
here is my code if that is the problem
<div id="flashAdd" style="position:absolute; left:25px;
top:98px; z-index:1000">
<script>myprintln('<OBJECT
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" z-index:"0"
codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"
width="496" height="300">');
myprintln('<PARAM NAME=movie
VALUE="<cfoutput>#Request.MainUrl#</cfoutput>video/home_1.swf">');
myprintln('<PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false>');
myprintln('<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>');
myprintln('<param name="wmode" value="transparent">');
myprintln('<param name="menu" value="transparent">');
myprintln('<EMBED
src="<cfoutput>#Request.MainUrl#</cfoutput>video/home_1.swf"
loop=false quality=medium bgcolor=#FFFFFF wmode="transparent"
width="496" height="300" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">'); myprintln('</EMBED>');
myprintln('</OBJECT>');</script>
</div>

and if you will ask in order that he to put for top with a
level of the type:
_root.creatEmptyMovieClip ("my_mc", 5);
That will do that his application raises 5 levels, I think
that it can be a solution, if there is doubt look in for help for
creatEmptyMovieClip ();

Horizontal Menu problem in Firefox and Safari

I have created a Spry Widget horizontal menu bar in my
template .dwt. This menubar worked fine at first in IE7, Firefox3,
and Safari 3 and 4, but now that all pages are in place, it
displays incorrectly in Firefox and Safari. Specifically, for each
dropdown menu, only the final item appears. While creating the
pages, I did not make any changes to the template, so I am not sure
what caused this error.

You are not using the latest Spry files
The latest version of the Adobe Spry Framework is 1.6.1, this is the same version that ships with Dreamweaver CS4. If you use Dreamweaver CS3 (uses Spry 1.4), its wise to upgrade your files to the latest version. This can easily be done using the Spry Updater that can be found here.
Then, if you have a look near the bottom of SpryMenuBarVertical.css you will see that the white background colour has been specified for IE as in
@media screen, projection
    ul.MenuBarVertical li.MenuBarItemIE
    display: inline;
    f\loat: left;
    background: #FFF;
Change the value to #CCC and it will have fixed that part of the problem.
When you upgrade to the later version of Spry, make sure to keep a copy of the CSS file as a reference to modifying the new CSS file.

Flash menu problems

Hi all,
I've made a menu in Flash 8 using invisible buttons to go to
different frames of the .swf, depending on mouse over and mouse
release. My as coding is very simple:
buttonname.onRollOver = function(){
if (_currentframe = 1){
gotoAndStop (2)}
The file loads just fine onto frame 1, but when I roll the
mouse over a button, doesn't matter which one, the file goes to
frame 25 out of 30 and stays there. When I click on one of the
buttons it goes to the proper frame, but as soon as I roll my mouse
off of that button it returns to frame 25. Any suggestions? (or any
way I could make this whole thing easier on myself?)
Thank you in advance.

you have different button instances on frames 25 and 1. they
may look the same and they may have the same instance name, but
they're not the same.
to remedy, put the button on its own layer in frame 1. then
extend that layers timeline to frame 25. if you need to change the
frame 25 button's appearance and you want to do that using the
authoring tools, create a keyframe at frame 25 and edit your
button.

Flash button problem in Firefox

Hello.
I am using a flash button to replace html email links
throughout the site as a method to control email spamming.
A lot of the areas I am doing this, the flash email link
appears amidst a paragraph of text.
This seems to work and displays perfectly in IE.
However, in firefox, the embedded flash object wants to start
a new line/paragraph which messes up the flow of text.
Does anyone know a fix for this?
Here is a link to a page where this is happening. Scroll
horizontally to the 2nd to last column (under "who would have said
any cover band would have lasted 18 years?") and note the EMAIL
link in red in EXPLORER. Then look at it in FIREFOX and see how it
starts a new line with a gap.
http://dev.informarch.com/wm/feature/feature.html
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(by the way...I know horizontal scrolling is not
preferred...but thats not what this thread is about....thank
you.)

Hello,
Try this and see if it works
In your HTML go to where the <object> tag is that loads
your flash button.
Add this parameter within it.
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
Then add the following inside the <embed> tag
wmode="transparent"
This is taken from an article from this site

Flash player crashes in firefox but not in waterfox ??

i have tried the downgrade to ver 10 of flash. no problem in firefox but now my other programs that use flash will not run. error messages say that i am not up to the correct version. i uploaded waterfox and have had no problems using the latest flash. can you take the waterfox program segments and move them to firefox?
mark

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Problem with Flash Menu in iWeb...need help please.

Ok, I designed a flash menu in iWeb and successfully placed it at the top of the site. I then used the "transparent shape" method to make the hyperlinks work properly. I made sure the flash menu was in the back and the transparent shape hyperlinks were in the front. The menu works just fine for me and anyone else using Safari or Mac computers. However, people on Windows using Firefox, IE or Chrome are unsuccessful in clicking the links. They do not work for them.
Here's my website's homepage link. Keep in mind, if you look there on Safari, it will work but it does not when on a Windows computer. Any help is greatly appreciated.
http://www.platinumsportspicks.com/Index/Home/Home.html
It is clearly the problem that the flash menu is opening in front of the hyperlinked shapes but I'm not sure how to make sure they stay on front.

I don't know the answer to that one but you can use the Mouse Over and Click method I have described on this page....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Tricks/MouseOver.html
It works in IE.
Its just a question of making up two different buttons with text for each link, taking a screenshot and cropping them and adding the JPEGs to your upload folder.
You can make up the buttons on an iWeb page and then delete them when you have taken the screenshots. I usually do this sort of thing in Keynote so that I can save them in case I need to modify them.

Multiple problems with Firefox 3.6.6 - Java Console, Flash, PDF & opening

running Windows XP with Firefox 3.6.6. I just upgraded to 3.6.6 & since then have been having multiple problems. 1) 3.6.6 takes a LONG time to load or hangs 2) As recommended Flash plugin updated to Flash 10.1. Subsequently Flash doesn't work. All I get when I use Firefox on any site is the F in a circle that indicates that flash is necessary to display the page. I have no problems with Flash on Google Chrome. 3) Java Console having issues. When 3.6.6 opens it says Java Console must be updated. So I update it. Then when it opens it says it's not supported & needs to be removed. Each time it wants me to restart Firefox to complete the task. If I say restart later cause I'm sick of opening & Closing again & again it pops up every 5-10 minutes & asks again. Please HELP!! 4) PDF files will not open since upgrade to 3.6.6. Having no issues with Google Chrome. It opens in miliseconds & runs everything but I prefer Firefox if it can be gotten to work right. Desperately need help.

Alignment of Flash menu in table problem/margins between images

Hi there, I have been building a website using Dreamweaver (i'm a complete newb to CSS & HTML, i'm a kiltmaker!). It uses a table based layout which will eventually link to a shopping cart. I'm just working on the html part, and I would like to include a Flash Menu Bar. When I add the SWF file, I would like it to align with the top of my product images, but unfortunately, ends up looking like this:
http://amhamiltonhandmadekilts.co.uk/test/flashtestdresssporrans.html
I would really like it if the top of my flash menu would align at the same height as the rest of the images e.g at the same height as 'dress sporran' etc so that design is flusher.
Any ideas on how I could fix this would be very much appreciated!
Also, I would like the spacing between the images to be not as big the table, so it looks a bit neater, is this easily done?
Many thanks,
Steve

As far as getting the Flash menu to align to the top more, try adding a valign parameter to the table cell that contains it...
<td width="16%" rowspan="2" valign="top">
As far as the spacing between the images goes, I didn't really get what you might have been trying to indicate relative to being as big as the table. But what you might want to do is create that entire menu/product table into a two column table, where the first column holds the menu and the second column holds another table with your products. That will give you more freedom to control the size of the products table.
You might also get some suggestions to get away from the table approach for a bit of what you've done, so don't be surprised... the intentions and ideas are generally good.

Flash buttons problems when screen text set to medium in Windows 7

Anyone else have this problem that when
users have set windows 7 to Medium 125% screen size (not screen resolution), the clickable area on all buttons
in a flash menu/file are off. It's like the area to click for the button is not resized with the graphics and are no longer located over the button but stays where it is when screen size is set to 100%. With a more complicated menu, it makes it nearly impossible to click buttons at the bottom of the menu as the clickable area is located twoor more buttons up. It also seems to be happening with newer Flash files. On older versions it's not happening and the clickable area is scaled with the graphics in the Flash file. Please help!

Menu problem with IE

menu problems with IE connected with spry - see site:

3.

(vertical menu bars in questions are all over the page)
thanks 4 help.

I tried in Firefox 3 and IE7 and they both seemed fairly slow
for any action to take place. But IE7 did seem pretty slugish.
It seems that you're already determined what the issue is,
you have waaaaaay too many menu items. Seems to me that that number
of items don't belong in a menu. There are even menus that are too
long to appear entirely on the page, so they can't be easily
accessed without accidentally hiding the menus again, which I did
several times. IN particular:
Cartuchos > Technologica
If you cannot change to a different format to show all of the
items, then perhaps you can split up the menu so that you don't
have too many at one time. I checked the code of your page and it
seems that you've got a lot of other scripting going on there
besides Spry, so is the issue with Spry or with everything else
you're trying to do with that menu. If you can try to recreate the
page with only the menu items on it (and not pulled in dynamically
on the fly), and then add back to your page a bit a time, you might
be able to find out what is really causing the delays.

Navigate to HTML anchor from flash menu

Hi,
I would like to navigate to an html anchor from a flash menu.
I use navigateToURL(“#anchorName”,
“_self”). It work fine in IE 7, Firefox 2 and 3 but in
safari the page reload. How can I prevent safari from reloading the
page ?
Thank you !

I have solved the problem by using the externalInterface and
a javascript function with window.location.hash.

Trying to find out which line of AS2 code is causing flash player crash in firefox & chrome browser

Hello,
I have a flash movie (AS2) created for the website visitors' registration and this flash movie is longer in size than the browser's window height so that site visitors need to browse down using browser's vertical scroll bar to see all of the contents in the flash movie.
When users click the submit button in the flash movie then
Firstly, the AS2 code attached to the      on(release){    event scrolls the html page back to the top (because the user must have scrolled down to view the flash movie content at the bottom of the page and I want the html page to go back to the top of the page)
getURL("javascript:window.scroll(0,0)");    // this is the AS2 code I have used for scrolling the page back to the top. I suspect this code is causing the flash player crash in firefox and google chrome
and also tells the _root of the flash movie to go to and stop at a frame named "StartEnteringData".
_root.gotoAndStop("StartEnteringData")     //making the _root of the movie to go to the "StartEnteringData" frame
this.gotoAndStop("Start")                                  //making this movieclip which contains the registation form to go to the first blank frame labelled "Start"
The "StartEnteringData" frame on the _root of the flash movie has AS2 code for entering the registration data to the database by using loadVariablesNum( ... )
Here's my question.
Almost everytime the user/visitor click the Submit button, the firefox browser users and google chrome browswer users see the Flash Player CRASH...
This doesn't happen often with the website visitors using MS Internet Explorer.
I have read some www articles (by searching google) saying that Adobe Flash Player in Firefox and Chrome browsers crash a lot.
But, for my flash movie, everytime the visitor clicks the submit button, flash player crashes. Therefore, I guess it is the AS2 code that I'm using (associated with the on(release) event of the submit button) is causing the flash player crash rather then the flash player compatibility with Firefox and Chrome browsers.
So, someone please tell me what's causing the flash player crash.
Is there a better code to make a web page to go back to the top?
I am also using the codes shown below on the first keyframe of the main movie. (_root)
//For custom flash right click menu:
var myMenu_cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.zoom = true;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.quality = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.print = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.save = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.loop = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.rewind = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.play = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.forward_back = false;
_root.menu = myMenu_cm;
//For tiling the flash movie background with bitmap picture
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("pattern");
this.beginBitmapFill(tile);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, 0);
this.endFill();

by repeatedly commenting out lines of code you suspect are causing the crush and retesting you should be able to pinpoint the problem.

I have a lenovo G570, win8, with sound problems in firefox

everything worked fine for the past year, i had to reinstall win 8 and now if i want to listen to sound, such as Pandora or youtube on Firefox, it does not switch from ext speakers to headphones when I plug them in. but if they are plugged in when I open firefox, its the opposite, and the ext speakers wont work when i unplug my headphones. BUT all stand alone such as I-tunes, and WMP work fine, and also Pandora and youtube works fine in Windows IE. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, Flash, and my sound card, all with the same results. Any ideas?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

I've switched from Google to Firefox because I was so tired of Google crashed all the time. Now I have the same problem with Firefox, Bank id, file down

Hej!
I've switched from Google to Firefox because I was so tired of Google crashed all the time. Now I have the same problem with Firefox, Bank id, file downloading, accessing Web pages, none of it works. What is the error?
Ronnie.

When Firefox crashes, it usually records information about what was happening at that moment and displays the Mozilla Crash Reporter. Are you seeing that, or is Firefox just freezing and you're killing it?
Assuming you have crashes, you can submit that data to Mozilla and share it with forum volunteers to see whether it points to the solution. Please check the support article "[[Firefox Crashes]]" (especially the last section) for steps to get those crash report IDs, and then post some of the recent ones here.
If that's not possible, have you tried Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?
