Flash objects in Spry Accordion?

Hi All,
can anyone help me? I would like to insert a Flash photo
gallery usin an XML file for it's content into a Spry Accordion
panel. Is this possible? If so please help. I have insertedf the
Flash file and the container loads on access but none of the
dynamic content loads up (photos,text etc). Please note I am no
coder! Just an enthusiastic amateur trying to set up a school web
site. Thanks in advance.

Hi Arnout,
Sorry I've been so slow replying to you and thank you for
your interest. If you could click this link
http://www.welshhousefarm.bham.sch.uk
you can then click the curriculum link on the left and view one of
the subject photo galleries. When I put the exact same gallery into
a Spry Accordion panel the flash container will load but none of
the text, photos, or any interactive content is available? If you
like I could send send the original .fla .swf files etc. I would
really appreciate some help with this. Thanks again.
Regards,
Peter Farrell

Spry Accordion and Flash Gallery

I am trying to insert a Flash photo gallery (created in Adobe Bridge) into one of the accordion panels of a Spry Accordion widget. When I use the widget 'out of the box', the gallery displays, but the set content height cuts off a third of it, including the navigation: http://twwwg.com/Pages/bogott/index3.html. When I set the constructor to allow variable panel heights, one problem goes away but the gallery does not display. http://twwwg.com/Pages/bogott/index2.html. The only difference is the addition of the option in the constructor call. Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong? Thanks. don Carlos.

Well, I solved this one myself. One of the posts on the sidebar resembled my issue sufficiently that I tried it. I pulled all the Flash code from the page and used the <object data> call. Worked like a charm. http://twwwg.com/Pages/bogott/index4.html

Controlling spry accordion from flash doesn't work in IE 8

Hi all,
I created a spry accordion in an html page and a little spry controller in flash, on the same page.
The flash controller contains buttons that should trigger the accordion in the same page.
here is the code I inserted in a flash button:
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:acc_ricette.openPanel('mypanel_ID'); return false;")
where mypanel_ID is the ID of the accordion on the page.
When I click any flash button this works perfectly in firefox and chrome, but it doesn't work in IE 8 and Opera.
The accordion itself (not using the flash buttons) works in all browser.
Is there a solution
TIA
tony

Using an image as label in Spry Accordion Menu

I was wondering if it was possible to use an image instead of
text in the spry accordion menu. I have replaced the text that is
there with a roll-over image link however I'm unable to label it
since it uses the text as the label and therefore can't set the
default panel I want opened. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for
your help.

Is this possible with Pages 09 ? And can I achieve this ?
Is it possible to look at the Help or at the Pages User Guide
In the English one, page 17, we may read:
• Some graphics, such as watermarks or logos, appear on pages. These objects are called master objects. If you cannot select an object in a template, it’s probably a master object. To learn more, see “Using Master Objects (Repeated Background Images)” on page 60.
You can drag or place objects on a page, including imported graphics, movies, and sound, or objects that you create within Pages, including text boxes, charts, tables, and shapes.
You can also insert pages that have been preformatted for the template you’re using. Click Pages or Sections in the toolbar and choose a template page. The new page is added immediately after the page where you placed the insertion point.

A simple Spry Accordion Question (I think)

Hi all:
I've searched but can't find, but I think this is a simple one.
I've created a basic Spry accordion menu with DW/CS3 - Insert/Spry/Spry Accordion. How do I get the first "Content 1" to be hidden/not visible upon page load. Right now, the "Lable 2" must be clicked to hide the "Content 1" which of course shows the "Content 2"? Guessing it's in the JS, but I'm not sure. TIA for any help. HTML and JS Code below.

On the bottom of yourpage you have this:
var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1");
Change it to this:
var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1", { useFixedPanelHeights: false, defaultPanel: -1 });

Spry Accordion default panels

Hello,
I have been trying to get the panels on the Spry Accordion to open while on the corresponding pages. I have tried setting the default panel to the corresponding panel number, but that does not work. Right now I have all of the panels set to -1 so they are all closed initiall. The only one I get to stay open is when I set it to 0, then my first panel will stay open, but if I try 1, 2, 3, etc. nothing happens.
I really appreciate any help with this, I am a student and this web portfolio is part of a requirement and I would love to get it so funtion properly.
Thank you,
Jessica

Jessica,
First of all, I hate you. Perfect web page design, perfect colour co-ordination, perfect drawings not to mention perfect age. It makes this old codger wonder where he has gone wrong
Having gotten that off my chest, the problem is that you have two constructors for the same object as per
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var Accordion2 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion2", { useFixedPanelHeights: false, defaultPanel: -1 });
</script>
Just get rid of the first one and apply the correct panel number, for example Fine Arts use
<script type="text/javascript">
var Accordion2 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion2", { useFixedPanelHeights: false, defaultPanel: 6 });
</script>

Spry accordion with nested accordions

I'm building an FAQ list with topics and sub topics, using a
containing Spry accordion with multiple children, though just the
one extra level deep. The nested accordions won't expand the full
list. Instead, the div height remains fixed, and I get a scroll

Sure! It has to be done in two parts. First part from your
SpryAccordion.css file and the second it is adding a new
property to the
Accordion object when its initialized.
First part:
Select .AccordionPanelContent class
Delete Height property
Change the value of overflow from auto to hidden;
Second part:
In the constructor function at the bottom of your faqs.htm
file, amend
this code:
var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1");
var Accordion9 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion9");
to this:
var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1",
{useFixedPanelHeights:false});
var Accordion9 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion9",
{useFixedPanelHeights:false});
Hope this helps.

Nested Spry accordion

Hi,
I am trying to nest a spry accordion in spry tabbed panels. You can see a simlified version at:
http://www.artinso.com/astronomy/sprytest.html
It works well enough in Firefox, Safari etc.
However in IE I get "object expected" scripting errors and neither tabbed panels nor accordion seem to work.
What am I missing here? Can you not nest accordions in tabbed panels?
Regards
Berthold Hamburger

Hi,
Thanks that solved it. Apparently my spry files must be corrupt. Do you know where I can re-download them?
Now the next problem surfaced with accordion widget. If you go on page:
http://www.artinso.com/astronomy/mirror-o-matic.html
and press the Videos tab further down that page, all the accordion panels are open on IE, while they work fine on FF. Is that also file corruption problem?
Thanks

Spry Accordion Problem in Internet Explorer

Hi,
i have created a spry accordion menu in Dreamweaver CS3. My
problem is that when I click in Internet Explorer, small selection
handles appear all round the accordion object. This looks quite
poor then. Any ideas how I can get rid of these?
Thanks.

Except for the fact that Spry Accordions are involved, the problem is hardly Spry related.
Having said that, I will try to help you on your way to solving your problem.
The following is a list of my observations
the <div id="wrapper"> on line 74 does not have an ending tag
<div class="right-column" has 35px padding on the right but not on the left. Because IE interprets the so-called box model differntly to other browsers, and because the div is floated right, the left edge of the div will be pushed further to the left than on other browsers. It may be an idea to put at least some of the padding on the left to keep it clear of the divider line
the field set in your contact form is 460px wide, the div surrounding it is only 440px and again IE reacts differntly to other browsers in that it expands the parent to suit the child. Try reducing the width of the fieldset to say 400px.

Spry Accordion Widget Init Closed, Without Snap?

(This is a topic discussed in
another
thread, but I didn't want to hijack the thread with my own
question, so I started a new one...)
I want to start my Accordion widget in a closed state. I
figured out the trick of setting the default panel to '-1' and
turning fixed heights by altering the code in the footer of the
page to:
var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1",
{defaultPanel: -1,
useFixedPanelHeights: false});
When you do this, however, the page loads with the first
accordion panel open and visible for a split second until the page
is loaded, at which point the widget snaps the panel shut. This is
very ugly and undesirable, especially given that this accordion is
on a page element common to every page on the site.
I've tried setting an initial class that is hidden, however
the Spry Accordion widget is written in such a way that it
preserves whatever classes you have rather than replacing them.
Does anyone know a way to load the page with the accordion
panels shut without this initial flash of the first panel snapping
shut?
Thanks,
Steve

Hey Al,
Nice plug for your own application! Here is another one,
since I am one of your happy customers.
I used the Spry widgets in the new DW CS3 and spent a couple
of days trying to tweak things to get them to work the way I
wanted. After getting input from my brother (his site that I am
working on) he really wanted some more style than what I was coming
up with using the basic DW widget. I smacked my dollar on the
barrel head and tried out PVII Accordion instead.
I can't tell you how fast and easy it was to insert and
customize this plugin. Not to mention they had some nice little
themed styles, one of which (the cobalt blue) was a real close
match to the color scheme I originally was using! (PS - any chance
of getting more theme styles down the road for this plugin or
matching styles for the other ones???)
Changing the open or closed state of the panels - it was so
simple!!! I simply went into the modify option and chose the number
that corresponded to my different panels in the menu list. My buddy
used an expression about DW CS3 that fits nicely with using tools
like PVII Accordion Magic. You can use a screwdriver with some
precision and a lot of hand strength to build what you want but it
will take you alot of time...or you can plugin a power drill and be
done with it!
To see it in action on my current work in progress go to:
http://www.dvdflashbacks.com/williamsburghealth/index.php
As for sstringer's original question - how to do this in DW's
Spry widget...
I think you are onto the right track with the -1 setting. If
I am not mistaken though, Spry uses 0 for the first panel, so I
think you would need to use an option like {defaultTab: 1} to open
the 2nd panel and so on.
PS - Just so everyone knows - I am not a sales person for
PVII - just a very satisfied customer!

Spry: Accordion does not close properly

Hi Everyone,
I am very new to web design, so bear with me please.
I created a new website using Dreamweaver and added a spry accordion to use as a menu. it seemed to be working fine, but as I was adding links into the boxes it quit working on me. I have thoughts of restarting, but I thought that you may be able to help me here as well. The link to the website is http://www.blakesprairiefair.com/2009.html
I used images for the tab titles and they should all be uploaded, I shoud haver 5 tabs in the accordion but it only shows one   I am attaching how it looked a few keystrokes ago. I can't figure out why it is acting so oddly
If you need more from me let me know,
Thank you so much for any help
Chuck

Hey, Thanks for the tip. I looked through the code like 5 times and I can't seem to find any unclosed or extra Divs I attached the code below in case that helps.
I got the code for the defaultPanel: -1 from http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Spry/1.4/help.html?content=WS0E55F588-24EC-4dd3-9508-82132 4E7F133.html
- Still haven't found the error
Thanks
Chuck

How to read a local file using as3 in a flash object in HTML? [urgent]

My web site contains a flash object.
I want to use as3 to read some local .txt file
by getting the user directory of the file.
i know AIR can support this by sth like:
File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath
but when i open a AIR file for this, it seems
the action cant be run when i embed it in html.
And i tried to use the above function in a normal
flash file in the action script.
But it cant recognize the File. class..
How can it be done ?
It's reli urgent,
please help...
Thanks !

a web based flash app can't detect user directories. you can use the filereference class'es browse method to let the user locate a file in any directory the user wants. flash can then retrieve the file's name and type. but, as mentioned before, flash can't determine the file's directory.

Flash Player dosn't work in IE 11 even shockwave flash object is activated

Hello,
Flash Player dosn't work in IE 11 even shockwave flash object is activated.
I've installed Adobe Flash Player Version 16.0.0.287 (today).
then
I checked on this page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/de/flash-player.html
says Flash Player not installed or not activated
Active X Version 16.0.0.287
Internet Explorer 11
Win 7 SP1 32 Bit
Please help me.
Thank you in advance
Paul

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Spry Accordion - Tabs open and then close after page loads

I am using a Spry Accordion menu driven from a database.
The menu opens up during the page load and then closes.
I'm using SpryAccordion.js 1.6.1
And to open a preset tab, I'm using:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
But, all of the tabs open and then close on page load.
My page:   http://www.texashotjobs.us/00C01.aspx
Any fix for this??
Thanks, Ron

Well to both thanks. Actually I wasn't disappointed as I had a two part question...
I tested the 1.6 JS and remembered that I had to modify the 1.4 so that tabs actually would link. So I reverted back to 1.4.
So, going to 1.6 fixed the open panel on load but "unfixed" the panel tab from linking.....
So changing this in the 1.6 js fixed the link issue as well:
Spry.Widget.Accordion.prototype.onPanelTabClick = function(e, panel)
    if (panel != this.currentPanel)
        this.openPanel(panel);
    else
        this.closePanel();
    if (this.enableKeyboardNavigation)
        this.focus();
//    if (e.preventDefault) e.preventDefault();
//    else e.returnValue = false;
//    if (e.stopPropagation) e.stopPropagation();
//    else e.cancelBubble = true;
I t appears everything is working........
Thanks, Ron Gaddis
