Flash movie missing one pixel in IE

Hello,
I have a Flash movie that is only displaying 799 pixels. The stage is set to 800 pixles and the width in the HTML document is also 800 pixels. This problem is only happening when viewed in Internet Explorer and I don't remember this being a problem until the last Flash plug-in update.
Here's the code:

Can any help?

I hunted down a similar bug and found a weired reason for it:
I am using a #page DIV for my content, which is centered by horizontal margins set to "auto".
width: 900px;
margin: 0 auto;
This DIV also has a background image that creates shadow effects around the page.
Now this background image tends to shift against the content of the #page DIV by 1 pixel.
Whether the shifting occurs or not depends on the width of the browser window (even or uneven pixel count). It is clearly some kind of rounding bug.
As I have a Flash header positioned in my page, that header exhibits the exact same symptoms as described in this posting - a white line at its right side. It took me quite some time to discover that this happens only at uneven browser window widths.
This effect is not limited to Flash movies. It also happens with inner DIVs that have a different background color.
One more nice IE surprise (tested and found on IE6,7,8,9).

How can I publish my flash movie in one swf file in V.2

Hi
When I publish my movie to flash format , skin swf file is
segregated from main movie swf file . How can I publish my movie
only in one swf file ? I want to merge skin and main movie files
together in one swf file .

Hi Corona,
The screen size is whatever you captured or specified during
the recording or new movie setup process. This will cause the
playback control to be placed "on top of" some portion of the
captured background, but there are two ways around that problem.
1) When you set the red recording area before recording, drag
the bottom of the recording area downward about 35 pixels below the
application window (assuming you are capturing an area that
includes a "bottom" or even an application window - grin). For this
to work, it is best if you do your recording against a
solid-one-colored desktop background, so the "extra" area at the
bottom doesn't include desktop images that you don't want in the
capture (even though that area will not be visible in the end ...)
OR...
2) Use the Project > Resize Project dialog to increase the
palette size on the bottom, taking care to leave the original movie
the same size. This will effectively do the same thing as
Suggestion #1, create a "blank" area at the bottom of the movie on
which there is room to mount the playback control bar.
Best of luck, Corona, and omid02. Hope this helps, in
conjunction with the advice that Rick has already offered.

Problems inserting flash movie into webpage

I am trying to insert 2 different flash movies on one webpage
One is a banner made in flash cs4 that works fine.
The other is a movie that I encoded with flash cs4 from a m4v file. When i test this file using the flash player on my computer everything works fine.
When i try to play on the webpage it shows there is flash object in dreamweaver but is blank in webbrowser.(right clicking shows there is flash there but nothing loads)
I have managed to get the movie working on a completly blank html file except that there are no controls (controls work fine in the flash player on computer)
As far as I can deduce it's not the html file because one swf file works ok
It's not how i'm inserting it onto the page because dreamweaver is doing it for me(and including the nessecary javascript etc)
It's not the movie because that works in the flash player on it's own.
So i'm stumped
any ideas guys?
(if it's any help the webpage it's on is www.csdrummer.co.uk , click on top right image on sidebar, has play button, under navigation)
Thanks
Jamie

I'm sorry I missunderstood the post from earlier. If I add the flv file in dreamweaver and upload the corresponding swf all works well but the flv file is 45mb which is a bit large for a 3 min video.
What i would like to do is turn this into a swf file. But this is where the problem is happening. THe swf when i export from flash wont work, comes up in the browser as doesn't load

IE 8 cropping one pixel of left side of Flash

I have a mysterious problem with Flash in Internet Explorer 8.
We have previously been using the code listed below to center Flash campaign sites on the page. The page did not have any doctype declared (not pretty, I know), but it worked fine across all browsers...
Then came IE 8. Suddenly 1px of the left side of the Flash/SWF is cropped of. I found that adding a doctype to the page fixed the problem, but that caused the content to no longer center vertically (in some browsers).
If I replace the Flash with a simple JPG image, it displays correctly - so this is related to the #¤%@ SWF / IE8 combo.
What are you guys using for centering your sites?
Some observations
Without doctype declared:
Works in Firefox, and IE 7
IE 8 and IE 8 in compatibility mode crops 1 pixel from left side
With HTML 4.1 Transitional doctype:
Is not vertically centered in IE 8 compatibility mode, IE 7 or Firefox
IE 8 in compatibility crops 1 pixel from left side
With XHTML 1.0 Transitional doctype:
Works in IE 8
Is not vertically centered in IE 8 compatibility mode, IE 7 or Firefox
The code causing the problem
(doctypes are left in commented out - just to show which ones I've tested with)

Well, I found MY problem. It was a center tag. I had <center></center> around my Flash movie. So I put it in a table and now it's works. I looked over your code, but I don't see a center tag so maybe this won't help you. You did help me to fix mine so if I can help in any way let me know.
Update: I noticed that you centered your data cell, maybe you could try centering the whole table.

How can I use the move tool to drag ONE pixel at a time?

The move tool is stuck to snapping at ~20 pixels at a time, so when I try to move a layer by a few pixels, its super frustrating. I dont want to have to use the arrow keys, I should be able to drag wherever I want.
How can I stop the move tool from snapping? I want to drag things precisely. I am zoomed at 100% if that makes a difference. I cant find anything about this under Preferences.

Thanks for the tip, but like I said, I dont want to always have to use the arrow keys. Is it not possible to actually DRAG one pixel at a time? I recently upgraded to CC from CS3 and I keep running into things that feel like a downgrade. Super disappointed.
Our posts overlapped there. Are you saying you could reliably drag one pixel with CS3?
What other issues are you having? Things like the Crop tool can feel strange at first, but I promise you you'll never want to use Classic mode once you get used to it.

TS5150 With certain movies I have downloaded digitally through Itunes or certain movies through Netflix played through Apple TV, I am only getting partial sound. I am missing one or more sound tracks. Am I missing something in the settings for Apple TV?

Are you using a stereo receiver or surround sound system for the audio by chance. What you are describing sounds like a receiver that is not setup correctly, or does not have the speakers connected to it correctly to support Dolby surround, 5.1 or 7.1. Which is why it is only happening on some content. It would only be on the ones that are encoded to support Dolby audio.

Embed one Flash movie into another

I have two flash movies (fm1 and fm2). fm2 is imported into
fm1 and contains a function
function test()
return(123);
fm1 also contains a function
function test2()
return(456)
I'd like to call the function test from fm1 and also call
test2 from fm2.
Is this possible?

Yes but you will have to locate the function. For example:
_parent.test1(); can be called from fm2
If you load fm2 into a movieclip which has the Instance Name
"fm2" then you can get to the function in fm2 by using
_root.fm2.test2();
I hope it helps.

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

How does one detect flash movie (embed object) focus?

If I use javascript to shift focus to the embedded flash
movie object, for example with the following line of code:
document.getElementById("myMovie").focus();
Is there any location within actionscript that I can add an
event listener to detect this shift in focus to the flash movie? I
have tried attaching a "focusIn" event handler to the application
container, to the the stage, and the systemManager, but none of
them appear to work.
Essentially I need to know what object within the application
is receiving focus when I make this javascript call.

Here's a tutorial for adding a referenced movie along with instructions: #18 - Adding Movie/Video File to iWeb Page via Export for Web in Quicktime Player.

Can one play flash movies faster?

I have to go through a couple of self-learning exercises. Alas, the presenter speaks so slow that I have a hard time not to fall asleep between words. :-(
Is there a way (or an alternative player) that allows to playback flash movies (i.e. swf files) at higher than original speeds? I am pretty sure I could easily cope with at least 1.5x if not 2x of the original recording speed and still perfectly understand what is being said and shown.
Such a function would save me tremendous amounts of time and the learning effect would definitely be higher than with the current setup!
Any hint and/or pointer welcome!
Michael

Try http://www.enounce.com for flash files. You can speed up and slow down the playing speed. They have a free 7 day trial and the price is under $30.
You can also adjust the play speed in windows media player for avi files. Select a) "Now Playing", from the top toolbar, b) " Enhancements", c) "Play Speed Settings".
Hope this helps

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!

How can HTML call a Flash movie?

Greetings Everyone!
I'm sincerely hoping that someone has the answer for me. I'm
a newbie, but trying so very hard to understand... :) I've read
books, pages & pages of this forum, 'net searches - I haven't
found a complete answer to my challenge so far - thanks in advance
for any help you can give...
Here's where things are:
1) I've created a series of swf Flash movies that loop (at a
particular size so they can play inside of an html table cell)
2) I've created html buttons in another cell
What I'm trying to do:
1) Like a swap file in HTML (where you click a button and an
image changes elsewhere on the page, click another button, and that
image swaps to a different image file)
I want to have a flash movie play on a click of a button, click
another button, and a different flash movie plays in the same
spot.
The challenge is the interaction between Dreamweaver and
Flash and getting HTML to talk to Flash.
Here's the code direction I've been heading ...
...IN MY HTML code...
I have a onMouseClick event for each button link. In this
code I set some variable names inside it.
onMouseClick="setFlashVariables('sendmovie','myMovie=activeMovie1')"
---- this would be for button 1.
onMouseClick=
"setFlashVariables('sendmovie','myMovie=activeMovie2')" ---- this
would be for button 2
onMouseClick
="setFlashVariables('sendmovie','myMovie=activeMovie3')" ---- this
would be for button 3
Basically, I'm setting a 'myMovie' variable to 'activeMovie1'
or 'activeMovie2' or 'activeMovie3' when one of the buttons is
clicked.
If 'myMovie' variable is equal to 'activeMovie1' by clicking
a link, this will tell a flash movie: (" Hey flash! Variable
'myMovie' is equal to 'activeMovie1'. Act accordingly."). When the
2nd button is clicked, 'myMovie' will be equal to 'activeMovie2'
and so on.
I need to declare the 'myMovie' variable in my flash movie -
how do I do that?
...IN FLASH...
1. I need to create one variable which will act as a variable
receiver from HTML. (What I called "myMovie")
2. I gather I need to create an IF statement so that
"myMovie" is set to which "activeMovie" ( it could be
activeMovie1/activeMovie2/activeMovie3 etc ) ,
----->Question:
Where should the IF statement be and
How should it be written?
Admittedly I don't know Action Script 3 very well.
if myMovie is equal to "activeMovie1"
then load a movie. (This movie will be a movie related to my
1 Button.)
else if myMovie is equal to "activeMovie2"
then load a movie. ((This movie will be a movie related to
your 2 Button.)
else if myMovie is equal to "activeMovie3"
then load a movie. ((This movie will be a movie related to
your 3 Button.)
Here's where I'm stuck....
1) If I've already made my movies into swf files where does
an IF statement go?
2) I'm missing the mechanics of how to connect the dots here
- how do I get button 1 to load movie 1 and start playing
automatically? When I click button 2, movie 1 is replaced by movie
2 and starts playing automatically.
It's a detailed explanation (I know) - I'm hoping someone has
an answer for me that's equally explicit. Thanks so much much for
taking the time to read it!!

Anybody?

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.

Need to clone one pixel at a time.

I use the clone stamp for very fine detail (using CS3). Why, when I sample one pixel, it clones four? I have six books on CS3 and can't find the answer. I am using a basic hard 1 pixel brush with 100% opacity, flow, and hardness.
In other words, when I sample one red pixel, I get four pixels in various shades of red. This frustrates me so much, that I use my son's Paint Shop Pro program when I need to do a lot of clone work.

Using the clone tool, I sample one pixel (with the Alt key), and move to another area to fill. The "fill" area becomes four pixels. I did not have this problem with CS2.
Yes, I want to clone (copy) one colored pixel to another area. Am I missing a setting? Should I reinstall CS3? Does CS4 have this problem? Returning to CS2 is not an option.
Until I can resolve this problem, I will continue to use Paint Shop Pro for detailed clone work. It just seems ridiculous that a $59 program can do what CS3 can't.
I appreciate any and all suggestions.

Possible to offer a 640x480 size Flash movie?

Hello & Happy Christmas List responders,
My name is Luke Wonderly, and I've used flash 5 a little bit
- in the past.
I just purchased my new copy of CS3, and am beginning to
develop how the work flow for
my project should go.
I have several hundred individual "Dance" moves, that are 6
to 12 seconds long (both real time - and slow motion) shot
on DVC-Pro 720x486 - exported as uncompressed QT movies - in
a current supported Codec.
I would like to deliver them on the internet - both as QT,
and Flash movies.
For the Flash development, my first questions -
2 Questions:
1). Is it possible to deliver an internet Flash Movie at a
640x480 size?
I see tons of references to creating 320x240 sizes - but
what about the larger, physical size?
2) Is it possible to allow a way for my audience to download,
save & keep the Flash movies - to watch later?
If so, how are the way's you folks would do it? (3rd
question).
Thank you for any help, time or direction that you may offer.
Kindest regards & Christmas greetings,
Luke Wonderly
[email protected]

Thank you rafiqelmansy for helping,
and Happy New Year to you as well!
Ok, I think I understand about file size and bandwidth.
These movies will be offered on line - to paying subscribers.
Each movie teaches a paticular dance move (with 2 different
camera views
one real time, the other view in slow motion) . . plus there
is no Audio .
Only text titles, description & break down.
So the content is for training (monkey see, monkey do), and
needs to be as large as possible - preferably 640x480 . . . .
The clients know that it's not going to be tiny file sizes -
and because each
dance movie is only (average) 8 seconds long - it should
still boil down
to an acceptable, downloadable size . . . .
At least that's what I was hoping for. Thank you for letting
me know that
Flash will at least give me the options.
Of course I'll be doing all kinds of compression level
testing - but I didn't
want to start in a 640 direction - until I could find out
first - if that physical size was even supported.
In reference to question 2, you wrote:
"2) yes, you just need to upload the version that the users
need to download and link to it from Flash using."
It looked like maybe you got cut off - or that you wanted me
to go to your
web site (using attached link) . . . I searched your site on
the tutorials -
very nice (I know physical size of Flash content &
player, and will use your tutorial for that end of delivery) . . .
But I didn't see any reference on:
How to offer your customers the ability to download,
save/keep, and watch the movie(s) later . . . . (but maybe I missed
it).
Do I offer it with a link to a Compressed "Stuff it" flash
player file.
Is there just a simpler way?
And then, what happens when the customer actually double
clicks the
file that's on their computer . . . . . does it engage the
browser, then the flash plug in - then
begin playing it ?
I'm just not sure how it should be done - so that it will
really work.
Could you please help me on this a little more?
Thanks again,
Luke Wonderly
