Flash movie display issues in IE

Hi Everyone!
This message is a cross-post and I apologize, but there seems
to be more traffic in this forum and I really could use some input
on my question. Here goes:
I'm new to this forum, but have a little experience with
Flash. I'm building a site, mixing flash with css and html on a
webpage (obviously). When I test the pages in Internet Explorer,
the display jumps around quite a bit when I navigate between web
pages (looks fine when clicking through frames in the movies). This
is the first time I've ever seen this (in the few times I've built
flash-heavy sites) and this display issue doesn't happen in
Firefox, Opera or even old Netscape. Unfortunately - most of the
world is using IE, so I need a little help.
I thought perhaps the Flash Satay solution might be the
answer, but I'm not a handy programmer so before I go mucking
around with it, I thought I'd get some thoughts from other flash
users...
Here's the link: mustardseedwoodworking.com/testing The pages
in question (and the only ones that are working, really) are the
home page, the about page, and then galleries one and two.
(Oh finally, I'm viewing these pages both locally, on my
computer and online after being uploaded. I have cable internet
access. I realize Gallery 2 loads a bit more slowly than Gallery 1,
but the primary reason I'm using flash to display the tables is
because I want large, high rez photos. )
Thanks in advance!
Michelle

Did you upload the Scripts folder that DW places in the root
of your site?

AP with Flash movie displays up or down 8 pixels

I've finally got my website up, with a flash movie (swf) of a
slideshow. It looks incorrect in DW (CS4), the movie is too low,
but displays correctly in Firefox and Safari (mac) - except in
Explorer (on a pc), where it displays too low: exactly like it
shows in DW. The background is a PS work, including a 'frame' to
play the movie within. Problem...

Thanks for any help. I can't find anything in the code doing
this.
Laurence

OK, and Thanks again
//add the listener for each button
nav_button[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, menuClick);
addChild(nav_button[i]);
//menuClick Code
function menuClick(e:MouseEvent):void
e.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, menuClick);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, resetButton); //removes children from the navGroup movie clip
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, menuOut, false, 0, true); //retracts the drop down list
setButtonIndex(e.target.name);
addLinks(e.target.name); // adds drop down links to the navGroup movie clip
TweenLite.to(navGroup, .4, {y:navGroup.height,onComplete:showMe()}); //shows the drop down link list movie clips
//relate the above line to the target name
lastTarget = e.target.name;
Note: the displacement happens whenever I add a child to the stage, either the navGroup or the mask clip (dmask). The mask clip
is a rectangle with a fill.
Thanks

Urgent! HTML table cell - Flash movie display browser dependent

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone has experienced the same problem i have
(note, Windows XP, Dreamweaver 4).
Consider the (rough) HTML code attached: A simple HTML table
of one column and two rows is constructed to hold an image banner
link and a Flash movie banner link in each cell consecutively.
The Flash movie works normally when the HTML page is viewed
in IE and Opera, until that is, it is placed inside a table cell.
Inside the cell the flash movie seems to disappear, though i
suspect it collapses to an image 1 pixel in height, as this can
just about be seen using Opera.
Is there something that I am missing? The code of course
seems correct to me - perhaps there is a browser setting i am
missing?
Any help apprceiated - as i need to implement this code ..
Daz

Hi Alan,
Dont think that was the problem (percentages used to scale to
users browser?) ... though you did set me thinking!
Was tired before, so only just remembered that when i was
experimenting with setting the Table Properties the image was
actually occasionally visible!!
Short version: When formatting a cell containing a Flash
animation dont leave the H field blank or use % (even though you're
suppose to be able to!), use pixels instead - otherwise the Flash
image collapses/disappears. Blank and % are fine everywhere else
(I did type a long answer before, but it got eaten by the
forum monster
Someone/i will probably figure out
why this is so or maybe i've just rediscovered the wheel
here - but thats not really important now - because my Flash
animation now renders similarly across IE, Opera and FireFox !!
So thanks for your help!

Flash movie display

hello
i have built this site, www.emsworthcricketclub.com
for internet explorer 8, and below, there is a short flash film.
can anyone help me get rid of the horrible borders at the top?
thanks
malcolm

I believe it has to do with the js call to the swf not
updating although I don’t understand why there is a change to
be updated when the triggering event is a null change to the
template. Active content to run in files on my computer was not
enabled, but enabling it does not correct the problem. The problem
is exhibited in IE, Firefox, and Netscape. I have not tested
others.
I have tried using both site relative & document relative
paths, both methods exhibit the same problem, an invisible swf in
the preview.
I have found a work around to bring back the swf display in
preview. Within Dreamweaver Local Files, move the template files
from the Template directory to the root directory, and then move it
back to the template directory. The links are updated with each
move and I find it’s best to not have any files or pages open
in the Dreamweaver display.
Yesterday I reported the issue was relative to preview only,
but I retract that today. Yesterday I built a sample site to
exhibit the problem but the problem only occurs in preview and not
on the sample site, www.kenbits.com. The site I’m working on
today exhibits the problem both in preview and on the site. Here
are two sample pages,
home.comcast.net/~woods_of_pardee/indexok.htm, &
home.comcast.net/~woods_of_pardee/indexbroken.htm.
Thank you for your continued support and research on my
problem.

Displaying Flash movie in JEditorPane -- HTMLEditor

Hi,
I am writing an HTMLEditor using Applet. I am using JEditorPane/JTextPane for editing the HTML page. I am displaying an HTML page using the setPage method of JEditorPane/JTextPane. But, I am not able to see the flash movie which is embeded in the HTML page.
Did anybody try this? I saw a lot of questions regarding HTMLEditor using Applet, but haven't seen one regarding the flash movie display.
I saw JMF(Java Media Framework), but it can be used only if we want to embed flash in java(eg:Applet,Frame) directly. Seems like JMF will not solve my problem.
Can someone help me out.
Thanx in advance.

Flash movie not displayed correctly in IE 8 on some Windows OS

Has anyone seen this problem?
I'm using CS4 to export a basic flash movie with embed tags pre scripted...
And the issue is that on some OS systems using Vista or Windows 7 and IE 8 as a primary browser, it appears that IE 8 is not displaying the flash banner completely.... its CROPPING it off... This is very strange because the banner works fine in FireFox, IE7,Opera,Chrome but not I.E.8 on some OS systems...
If you google "Flash not displaying correctly in IE 8" you'll get alot of people with the same issues but no real definate fix...
Are there any suggestions as to what i could try?
Do i need different flash embed tags? Or is this a user issue?
Please Advise as soon as possible...
Thanks

I'm sorry, i forgot to explain that I didn't upload the flash published html because it did and produced the exact same results.
The flash published still got cropped off on 1 vista os(I.E 8) running from a laptop and 1 windows 7(I.E. 8) latop os...
Its good to hear that you're able to see it clearly... however in my QA efforts, i've been asked to fix the issue or drop the flash banner all together.
I've tried every which way, i've even converted the embed tags (not uploaded by the way) to a js script and it STILL gets cropped of on 2 ie8 run OS systems...
And now i'm not sure what else to try on my end.
I'm currious if because this is an XML driven flash banner, this may be an issue? But it still doesn't explain why some people can see this in IE 8 as you can and others get a cropped banner like in my screen shot sample.
Again i invite everyone in the forum to take a look at the sample links, as i'd be curious to see who else is seeing this.
By the way "kglad" Thank you so much... please keep the suggestions coming... but everything you've suggested, i've tried.
This is very perplexing. Is this a setting issue? or is there some setting on the user side i'm not aware of? Either way, as usual... the flash developer is blamed so i must find a solution.

IE7 & Flash Movie not displaying FF works fine

Hi,
I have an issue with IE7 and my Flash video movies. When I
use IE7 (7.0.5730.13) the 6 videos (flash movies) on the page do
not display all 6 BUT in FF they all display and my navigation menu
works fine. The video boxes/placeholders change when I refresh the
page in IE7, but again, not all 6 show like in FF and the menus
won't work properly.
Any help! Please use common/dummy talk so I can fix it. The
page is:
http://www.ferndalehistoricalsociety.org/history_video.html

The movies are MASSIVE. I Think you are just not waiting long
enough. It
took >15 minutes for FF to show all of the video frames.

Export QuickTime Prob from Flash - Junk displayed in .mov

Hi
I'm trying to export a Flash movie as a .mov file. The animation is not that big but there are strange display issues. As the character moves across the screen, there are bits and pieces left on the screen from the previous movements. It's just not rendering correctly and looks terrible. I can't seem to fix it and have been playing with the Format settings etc. It doesn't help. There's always the junk left on the screen. Any ideas? I am using CS4 on Mac OS 10.6.7
Thanks!

Hi luvromntns,
Here is a good link to check out for other tips on export http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401520.html.

How do I display a live webpage (live data feed) as part of my looping flash movie.

G'Day All, I've been tasked with creating a flash movie for a client (3 scenes, some text and images) simple enough, the challenge is one of the scenes needs to display a live page from a locally hosted website (it's a graphic display of a live data feed from a solar panel array on the roof). What I need to know is how do I set up the flash file to display the live page as one of the scenes of my looping movie? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Ben.

Why they've removed it ?

BPM Workspace can't display the flash movie with IE

Hi
We have the following problem, we have a BPM project with a flash screen, when we execute the project in the workspace of BPM studio we can see the Flash, but when we published the project in BPM Enterprise , the workspace can't display the flash movie, it just display the panel without buttons and fields. This happen just in Internet Explorer, in other browsers we can see the flash.
Any idea or solution ??
Thanks in advance

Actually, I got it working now...
It seems that I have to have all the files in the same folder
as the page it displays on!
Historically I would dump a standard flash clip (not a
converted movie with buttons) into the /images folder.
I tested this intitally in a /video folder (just to keep all
the files in one place) which would display the clip but not the
buttons but as soon as I moved the files in the same directory as
the page itself (which is the main index.html) it worked fine!
So if anyone does read this is there a reason for that as I
would like to keep everything in separate folders!
Cheers, J

Flash Movie will not display in Dreamweaver

A movie that I created with Flash CS6 will not play in a webpage that I created in Dreamweaver CS6. When I select "Live" in Dreamweaver, I get a prompt to download the Flash 11.7 player. I've downloaded this player several times, and the movie still does not play in DW. The movie displays when select play in Flash.
How can I get the movie to play in Dreamweaver?

More to the point: Does it play in any browser on your system? If not, you may have to fix that first. In nay case, ask your question in the DW forum and provide more details like soem system information to begin with...

IE does not display my flash movie

Hello fellows, I am having a huge problem with MIE. It does
not displays the flash object embed! Firefox works fine, but IE
doesn't!
Here are the codes:
quote:
Code made by me:
<object width="757" height="153">
<param name="movie" value="/script/top.swf"> <param
name="quality" value=high>
<param name="play" value=true> <param name="bgcolor"
value=#0000000>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<embed src="/script/top.swf" width="757" height="153"
wmode="transparent">
</embed>
</object>
The funny thing is that I use almost the same code to display
another flash movie and it WORKS for the second!!! Why is that? The
Firefox displays both of them fine.
I tried a second code:
quote:
Code generated by Flash itself:
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" odebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0"
width="757" height="153" id="top" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="script/top.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<embed src="script/top.swf" quality="high"
bgcolor="#000000" width="757" height="153" name="top"
align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</embed>
</object>
When I use the code above it returns to me an error on line
215, but my file has only 196 lines! And if I count the included
javascript, the possible lines are commentaries. The Firefox works
fine.
What is wrong with IE?
See ya!
Augusto

> <object width="757" height="153">
All the essential stuff is missing form the <object>
tag .. so it will fail
on IE (firefox doesn't use the object tag)
> odebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#v
"odebase"? should be "codebase"
Use the tags generated by Flash when you publish to HTML and
things should
be fine. Don't try to do it yourself unless you are an expert
(and even
experts don't just typ in tags themselves .. they copy and
paste from
previous html they have that works)
