Flash Not Sizing Correctly in IE7

I found the answer to this problem by accident, but I'll go
ahead and post in case someone else has the same issue. I have a
full-browser flash site (width:100%, height: 100%). I had noscale
and alignment set correctly, and my resize function worked fine.
The flash was still being stretched by a few pixels in IE. I have a
main swf that loads a content swf. All I did was change
addChild(loader.content); to addChild(loader);. So I just
referenced my loader directly instead of it's content when adding
it. I have no clue why this was causing a problem, but at least
it's fixed.

Hi Brian,
Try uninstalling your current copy of Flash and reinstall new.
Uninstall Flash
Install Flash
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
Since you are running Snow Leopard, *make sure Safari is running in 32-bit mode, not 64*. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure *Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
Then repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and *restart your Mac.*

EPub graphics are not sized correctly

ePub graphics are not sized correctly after transfering ePub to my iPad using iTunes.
I am running indesign 6.0 on microsoft system 7 and transfering the ePub to my new iPad (32gb 2048 x 1536 resolution).
The graphic is set for "custom rasteration" with size set to "relative to page width".
The graphic displays correctly in Adobe Digital Editions but when I transfer the ePub to my iPad it appears full size.
If i set the cover to "Rasterize first page" the graphic on the cover is sized correctly but the graphic in the document is full size.
When i create the identical file using inDesign 5.5 everything works correctly.
What am i doing wrong or what setting am I not setting correctly?
Thanks,
Dennis

Welcome to the world of how different EPUB readers handle the same HTML and CSS code.
I just did a test with a picture which had the Relative to Page Size and Custom Rasterization settings from InDesign CS5.5 and CS6.
As far as I can tell each version of InDesign is writing the correct code but in a different way. ADE responds to it the same, but iBooks on your iPad does not.
Here are the details: I created a 45 pica wide text frame and anchored a 14 pica wide graphic frame.
InDesign CS5.5 exports the relative size as part of the image tag like this:
<img width="31%" src="images/CMYK%20balloons_fmt.jpeg" alt="CMYK%20balloons.psd" />
InDesign CS6 creates a class for the <div> tag for the graphic frame and references it in the CSS it creates. Here's the HTML:
<div class="frame-2">
<img class="frame-1" src="image/CMYK%20balloons_fmt.jpeg" alt="CMYK%20balloons.psd"
/>
</div>
Here's the CSS for frame-1:
img.frame-1 {
width : 27%;
I would say that both of those are correct code. However, iBooks handles the CS6 version differently.
Here's how the CS5.5 version looks in iBooks:
And here's how the CS6 code looks:
It handles it differently. So I'd say, if it's important that on the iPad, that it be smaller, you should edit the code to insert the scaling attribute into the HTML tag instead of the CSS,

Themes like Topaz are not working correctly using IE7 or IE8?

We are in the middle of an upgrade from APEX 3.1.2 to 4.0.2 and with this upgrade we also want to change the themes the apllications are using. In this case we are switching from 'Sand' to 'Topaz', but we encounter a problem with Standard Reports Regions. If you have a column with a setting 'Display as Text (based on LOV, does not save state) and the column has no value (null), the table cell is not drawn correctly on the screen. The cell borders (top and bottom) are not drawn, resulting in interrupted lines on the table rows. The same problem occurs if you have a column that contains a link, but the column value is empty.
When we use another browser (e.g. Google Chrome) the reports region is displayed correctly. However the standard browsers at our company are IE7 and IE8.
Sort of a workaround is to display a null value as or - , but for columns that contain links, that is a problem, because it will result in a clickable link on an 'empty' column value.
We tried other themes like Modern Blue, Simple Red, Builder Blue, Sunrise, etc. but they all have the same problem. Is there a workaround for this problem, because we reallty want to use the new Themes and using another browser is no option?
For an example, check problems in MGR and DEPT columns:

Appears to be due to empty-cellsIE's lack of/buggy support for the <tt>empty-cells</tt> property used in the report CSS.
I think you'll have to work round this by including some content in the cells using <tt>nvl</tt> etc in the query or the report Show Null Values as property. To avoid the problem you mentioned relating to clickable "empty" links, try using the zero-width space character entity<tt>&#8203;</tt> zero-width space character entity for this content. It should be effectively invisible.

Mc-icons not sized correctly in Internet Explorer

The file icons used by Sun One Web Server 6.1 (/mc-icons) to indicate file types do not display correctly when a directory does not have an index or default file, and the web server automatically creates an index that includes these icons and shows the directory contents. The icons representing the files appear correctly sized in Netscape Navigator 4.7 browser, but appear to shrink beyond visible resolution in Internet Explorere 6.0 browser. Fancy indexing (common) is being used. Platform is Windows 2000 Server, also running SSL3 and ColdFusion 7.0. How can we get the icons to display at a visible size in Internet Explorer? The result appears to the user as if the icon graphics are missing, but they are indeed called correctly by the page and the path to them is set correctly. I have verified that the graphics are OK on the server and are sized correctly when viewed in an image editor.

Are you sure the problem is the size of the icons? Beginning with version 6.0.2900.2190, Microsoft Internet Explorer stopped displaying the Web Server /mc-icons GIFs. This regression was apparently a side effect of Microsoft's attempts to fix IE's handling of malicious image files.
Apart from not using the buggy versions of IE, I'm not aware of a simple fix. I suspect a future Web Server 6.1 service pack will include a work around for the IE bug, but probably not until 6.1SP7.
I've added tweaked icons to my blog at http://blogs.sun.com/elving?entry=directory_listing_icons_and_ie that IE will display properly. You may wish to copy these into your ns-icons directory.

Flash not displaying correctly for only one web site

In the last 3 or 4 days I seem to have problems with the flash content of one single web site not displaying correctly from my laptop. I have the same problem from both IE (version7.0.5730.11) and from FF (3.5.8). The site works fine from my desktop system so it's not the site specifically. The site (www.transparent.com/wotd/today/spanish.htm) has an embeded flash segment that does not display correctly and thus I can't click on two of the embedded buttons. It also does not display the background pattern for the flash. I'm running flash 10.0.45.2 based upon right clicking from within the embedded flash which takes me to the Adobe page with my version info. The Adobe page seems to display fine.
As far as I know I'm not having problems with another instance of flash - only this site.
Any thoughts on how to diagnose the problem? I've not added any new programs since this website stopped working but do have some background "tune up" programs that run. I'm assuming some settings are out of wack but don't know where to start looking. Any help folks woulc provide would be appreicated.

Well, that is hard to tell. Like I said the website may have updated their technology. Just because it works with the Desktop, doesn't mean there is not a reason that the laptop might not have a problem. You have 2 different systems and
most likely different configurations.
You may want to check Tools and in the add ons for both, look for Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control..Flash10e.ocx should be installed and enabled.
Also for each check C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Right click the Flash folder and make sure for IE that the files are vs 10.0.45.2 by checking the properties.
If you have the correct Flash files and the correct SWO then, some other cause would be looked at.
It has been my experience to not "assume", but verify:-)
Thanks,

Flash not timed correctly

Anyone had issues with their new iphone, my wifes flash is not working correctly. It flashes the redeye, then flashes the normal flash, then takes a picture after the flash. My new iphone 5 works fine. Hers has also locked up. I wonder if hers is defective, mine has been working flawlessly. They are both the 64g versions.

Try a soft reboot by holding down the home button and off button until the apple logo appears. I had the same issue and this has fixed it. Good luck!

Flash not playing correctly in Chrome or Firefox

I did a Flash SWF file on CS5.5, and then published the output. It has 5 imported videos (FLV), all placed within the same directory as the FLA, SWF and HTML files. When I go ahead and open the HTML file on Chrome, the SWF file plays, but when I get to the frame where the placed FLV files were supposed to play, the videos don't appear at all. Same goes for Firefox. However, it plays correctly in Internet Explorer.
I'm a total Flash beginner, so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here.
I've uploaded screenshots of the HTML code and of the SWF file in Chrome.

Also, I tried creating a Win Projector EXE file, and I get an error dialog saying "Destination Directory Does Not Exist. Change Your Publish Settings", whe in fact I used the default publish settings.
I'd really appreciate expert advice on this, especially if you can "dumb down" your answers to total beginner level.

Are you using relative links to the paths of the media, e.g.: assets/videos/movie1.flv ?
What are you using for FLV playback, the FLVPlayback component itself or are you handling NetStream/Video yourself, or StageVideo?
Default publish settings are never to be trusted in Flash, ever. Paths are RARELY ever saved correctly unless they're relative and even then it's not safe to assume it's correct. I've, long ago, made it a habit of going into publish settings, clicking the browse icon next to SWF/HTML/EXE/etc and manually set the location to publish every single time. If you do that the error should go away about publish destination (and yes, it's really irritating).
What FLV codec did you use?

Embedded flash not behaving correctly

     I am having some problems with embedding flash into a PDF and I hope you can help. When I run the flash outside the PDF, all of the rollovers and cursor changes behave correctly. However, once I embed the flash into the pdf and launch it, when I rollover areas of interaction, the cursor doesn't behave like it should.
     Outside the PDF, when I rollover an area of interaction, the pointer changes to the hand. When it is embedded into a PDF, I hit the edge of the area of interaction and the cursor flashes to the hand and then back to the pointer.
     I know these aren't the correct terms but I am hoping that it is decipherable. I am far from a flash or PDF guru, but I have tried everything I can think of to get this to work. The flash presentation was created in adobe captivate 3.
     I have opened a case with Adobe support and I was on the phone with them for 2+ hours today with no resolution. I am hoping the collective knowledge of the forums and the internet can help! Thanks in advance!
--jcbrig00

I am also having a problem with this . It seems to be a bug because it is not only movie clips but buttons that don't show the hand cursor.
My problem was with a simple flash test movie created in flash cs5 using actionscript 2
If any one can solve this I would be really grateful

would anyone beable to help, aarrgghhhh!!!
many thanks

the problem was answered: you had incorrect embedding.
and yes, there's javascript to correctly embed swf's in html pages. the flash ide creates valid javascript and swfobject.js has valid javascript.
i'm not aware of any other javascript that reliably embeds swf's in html pages. there are several versions and two methods using swfobject.

Flash not playing correctly in Captivate

I have Captivate 4 and Flash CS4. I have created a Flash .swf in Actionscript 3.0 that has several interactions. I have placed stop(); in Frame one, Frame 5, and Frame 10 and then depending on the interaction I have gotoAndPlay (5) or gotoAndPlay(10).
The resulting .swf works properly in Flash Player, but when I place the .swf into Captivate it ignores the stops in the actionscript on Frames 1 and 5 and goes directly to Frame 10.
I don't have any idea how to make it play correctly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Frank

Hi Frank

Flash not rendering correctly in IE using Spry and SWFObject.

Hi,
Tools that I'm using (Flash, Spry and SWFObject)
I just finished converting portions of the image gallery to a
video gallery using FLV Files.
It works great in FireFox and Opera, I guess all mozilla
based browsers.
Now my problem is that I pass the Path variable to Flash for
it to load the FLV file using SWFObject.
Code:
<div spry:detailregion="dsVideos"
class="AccordionPanelContent">
<div id="flashcontent"> You need to upgrade your Flash
Player. </div>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var so = new SWFObject("VideoPlayer.swf", "videoplayer",
"427", "288", "8", "#161616");
so.addVariable("video", "{@path}");
so.write("flashcontent");
// ]]>
</script>
</div>
The FLV files won't load at all in IE meaning the variable is
not going thru when Flash is rendered for a second time.
So I added another variable just to see Flash reaction once
the page loaded for the first time.
Code:
so.addVariable("Variable1", "I Love This Bug!");
I added Variable1 to the Flash Movie as a textbox and It
loads in a split second for the first render but when Spry loads it
datasets and renders the region where Flash resides the variable
doesnt go thru and Flash gets a undefined variable.
When Spry renders that region the video variable is not going
thru and no video is shown. :(
Any suggestion?

Don -
Have you had any success here? I've been trying to get any
kind of Flash
to load properly in IE in a spry:region (or :detailregion),
and have
failed entirely.
I added spry:state="ready" to the div with the Flash movie,
but no fix.
I've tested with both IE 6 and IE 7 beta, and with FP 8 and
FP 9.
I have a few test pages (everything works great in FireFox):
- www.imagicdigital.com/portfolios/video_state7.html
(uses SWFObject to write the movie, with spry info as
FlashVars)
IE: Flash movie is hidden. No FlashVars are passed.
- www.imagicdigital.com/portfolios/video_state7_noso.html
(same page as above, but with the standard Object/Embed tags,
no SWFObject)
IE: Flash movie is hidden. No FlashVars are passed.
- www.imagicdigital.com/portfolios/video_state7a_noso.html
(same page as above but with hardcoded FlashVars)
IE: Flash movie is hidden. No FlashVars are passed.
- www.imagicdigital.com/portfolios/video_state7b_noso.html
(a Flash movie with no FlashVars at all)
IE: Flash movie is hidden.
- www.imagicdigital.com/portfolios/video_state7c_noso.html
(same as 7a but with spry:region removed from the flash div)
IE: Works perfectly. Flash movie shows up, FlashVars are
passed.
I noticed a few things:
- In IE, the spry:debug generated markup shows FlashVars="",
empty.
- I don't see an innerHTML fix call for the FlashVideo div,
even if I
make it into a spry:region instead of detailregion. Can this
help omehow?
- In IE 7, if I right-click where my flash movie is supposed
to show up,
it does become visible (with no FlashVars). However, IE often
crashes
after that, either right away or on window close. The error
shown in
the alert is "Out of Memory at Line 56". This is both with
and without
passing FlashVars.
NOTE: This error was just recently discussed on the SWFObject
mailing
list. Geoff Stearns found a sort of bug in FP 9 that was also
causing
this same error when 2 Flash movies were embedded with
SWFObject and
each making different ExternalInterface calls. He fixed it by
removing
the function written by Flash when it loads called
"__flash_unloadHandler()". Link to the relevant discussion
thread:
http://lists.deconcept.com/htdig.cgi/swfobject-deconcept.com/2006-July/000795.html
It would be great (crucial, I think) to get Spry to work with
SWFs. Any
ideas or progress? Thanks in advance.

Flash not working correctly; Chrome & Firefox

I use to use Firefox exclusively and had Flash installed as a plugin and it worked fine. I accidentally un-installed it and then reinstalled it. Since then it will not load pages completely; only partially. I then got Chrome and it does the same thing. I am trying to use Flash to view job postings on the Accountemps & Robert Half websites. Any suggestions? This is quite frustrating

I had the same problem, so what I did was I went to chrome://plugins/ and hit the details for flash, and there were 3 versions of it under details, I just uneabled 2 and ran one until it worked. Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300 this one was causing the issue , This one worked Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300 , this one also caused the issue Shockwave Flash 11.4 r402.

Flash not installing correctly on Maxthon browser

hi there,
having a problem installing Flash using the Maxthon browser. It used to install fine (I've been using Maxthon for years) but now the Adobe page thinks my browser is Chrome so only offers me "install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe", but when I go to BBC's iPlayer site it tells me I don't have flash installed, but going back to Adobe site which tells me it is installed !
for a while the only problem was with the BBC's iPlayer page. Other flash sites worked fine, but today two websites using flash audio players failed telling me I need flash. Went back to Adobe's flash page and it says I have latest version installed !
any advise on how to get the correct version to install properly ?
cheers sarah
PS - running Win 8.1 (64Bit)

Win 8.1 and IE11 have caused this all over the place but this is the first I've seen of it with MaxThon. I don't use MT myself, but doesn't it use the "Gecko" engine (Mozilla)?
