Flash text white box.

I am following Garrick Chow's Dreamweaver CS3 HOT. I am
unable to insert flash text into the training files as instructed.
When I follow the same instructions on a blank page that I have
made, it works fine.
What to do? My guess is there is some setting in the pages
that he has given us that prevents viewing this flash. I get the
same white box that YuriyKr describes. I have made the chapter that
we are working on a new site in the site set up box, and all of the
folders are green in my files list on the right. So, the flash I
create is in the correct place.
Now What?

Skip that section. Flash text is both an accessability and a
search engine
problem.
However, show us the page and someone will likely be able to
help you.

Flash Video - white box flashes, hide controls

Hi, I am working on a website for an artist
www.helmutnewtonladiesnight.com
when home.htm loads, a white box flashes (maybe
FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf?) before the video starts playing. is
there a way to make this box black or invisible?
also, the artist doesn't want the controls to show at all. is
there a way to autoplay the video and hide the controls?
Thanks.

Of course, I meant to use #000000 in both of those sections.
The colors

Missing Fonts in Flash Text List

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 on a Windows XP computer. In the
"Insert Flash Text" dialog box, in the font drop down menu, I am
not seeing all of my installed fonts. I see a few OpenType and a
few True Type fonts, but more than half of my installed fonts are
not showing up in the list. I can see all my fonts in the "Edit
Font List" box for creating font families in Dreamweaver. So I know
parts of Dreamweaver can see all of my fonts.
I am totally stumped why some fonts aren't available for
flash text. Any suggestions? Thanks.

> If Flash Text is being dropped, what is going to replace

What has always replaced it - images, or some image
replacement technique
like sIFR, or TIP.

You mean you are taking a class from an Adobe Certified
Instructor, and
he/she is requiring that? Who is that? What a waste of class
time....

Can't Save Flash Text

Hello
I'm trying to create some basic flash text, but everytime I
try to save the "swf" file within Dreamweaver CS3's "Insert Flash
Text" dialog box I get the following error message,
"welcome.swf is an invalid file name. Please enter a
different name."
and i continue to get the message regardless of whatever
name I use.
I'm using a Mac platform.
Can someone help?
thanks

He's asking for the poster to copy the code and paste it into
a reply to
this forum so that we can all see what is happening.
Just so you'll know, using Flash text is always a bad idea -
the whole thing
is being removed from DWCS4 as a result.
> Here is my code, BTW:
> file:///DIANA'S 2G/Inclass Site/index.html
Never name your hard drive/computer using an apostrophe.
It'll drive you and
DW mad. Of course, we cannot see that file since it is on
your hard drive.

Safari flashes white boxes when loading pictures or video, distorts text

Hi,
I have Safari 3.1.2 and a lot of times when I look at a photo on a flickr page, when the photo loads it flashes these annoying white boxes everywhere. And when I watch a youtube video it will flash white sections on them. Also, when I'm scrolling through an article, the lines will double up and distort. If I restart my computer it will adjust to normal, but the after a while it will start up again. I've singled the problem down to Safari because Firefox does not have this problem. I guess I could just use Firefox and say sayonara to Safari? Any advice?

I have exactly the same problem with browsers, iPhoto, and also text breaking up when scrolling up and down (in Mail, for instance). I also have a Macbook Pro (15", 2,4ghz, GeForce 8600M graphics).
I have heard about people taking the unit back to Apple and having the graphics card replaced, and some people talk about it being a video driver issue, but this has been going on for me since at least 10.5.2 (that's when I first noticed it as a problem) and if it's a software problem it's taking a long time to fix it!

Flash movie just has a white box when I preview

Working in Flash CS4
My question is when I publish my flash movie it opens fine on my computer but when I copy the folder with all the contents to another computer the skin show up fine but I get a white box where the movie should be. The same goes if we try to place it on a website.
When I'm in flash should I be going to
File Publish or
File Export SWF
To be placed in a website.

NAte here is the link to the page that has the flash movie that is coming up as a white box

White box where Flash should be

Hi,
I don't know if anyone could help me on this (I'm not the main programmer of our company's website) but just the other day we noticed that the main flash animation on our company's website (www.afhu.org) didn't display on some browsers, notably IE6.   It works on IE8, FF, Chrome etc. What the user sees instead of the animation is just a white box the size of the flash object.
I believe the flash lines from the homepage are as follows;

<div id="MainColumn">
    <div class="Column" id="LeftColumn">
    <img src="files/rothbergampitheater.jpg" width="478" height="478" alt="rothbergampitheater.jpg" title="rothbergampitheater.jpg" />
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">Get Adobe Flash Player</a></p>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("/sites/all/themes/afhu/flash/afhu.swf", "mymovie", "478", "478", "8", "#EEEEEE");
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.write("LeftColumn");
</script>
I've seen postings on the web referring to this but most seem older. I'm not sure if this issue has always been with us or is new. We haven't changed any code recently and I would think we would have seen it before but perhaps not. Can anyone tell me from the code above (or from our website, www..afhu.org) if the Flash coding looks 'correct'? Thanks $1mil. !

you must have some code adding swfobject.js to your html but other than that your code looks ok.
but it's an older version (1) of swfobject.   you might want to update to version 2 and see if the problem is resolved or, read about swfobject issues with older browsers and see if this is something that's been fixed with version 2.

Captivate 4 AS2 Text Entry Box not working with Flash Player 11

I am having issues with text entry boxes not working at all in flash 11. I am using Captivate 4 and exporting an AS2 swf. When you get to the slide you can type but you cannot see anything nor does the button or keystroke to move on. Also there is no cursor. Any ideas?

You said it is not working with Flash 11, so does that mean you tested with previous version and that worked?
While publishing choose Flash player as 9 and publish that, verify if that plays in a compatible web browser.
AS 2 is a legacy scripting, it has been said not too be supported with even Flash Player 10 --
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=Part2_AS2_LangRef_1.html
I believe if you switch back to version 9 while publish your project, it should work.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

White box around text in pdf

Hi. In InDesign CS3, Photoshop 7.0 & of course Acrobat 7.0
I made a Photoshop PDF & brought it into InDesign to export it into a PDF so I can make crop marks.
The PDF in Acrobat & InDesign both had a white box around some of the text. I had embedded the fonts in Photoshop, so I do not understand why that happened. I went back into Photoshop & just retyped over where the box was appearing & this had solved the problem after I repdfed & imported it into ID. Acrobat viewed the text perfect then.
I want to prevent this from happening in the future, does anyone know what I can do to look out for things like this?

Very sorry--that's certainly information I should have included. I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, version 9.3.3. I'm creating the PDFs from within Microsoft Word 2007 via the Acrobat tab on the ribbon, clicking "Create PDF."

White box around text in Windows-based PDFs viewed on Mac

I make a lot of Microsoft Word-based PDFs that include colored, text-filled tables. They look great when viewed on my machine, but Mac users see a faint white outline around the text in each cell of the table. How do I get rid of the white box?

Error in printing? White boxes around text?

Right now I'm experencing a problem with printing in
Flashpaper. In my company we're converting brochures over into
Flashpaper as a test. Everything converts over smoothly until we do
a print test. What we're seeing in our print outputs is any area
that contains text on top of a image you'll get an white box around
the text. Although when you view the flashpaper on the monitor you
don't see that white box around the text. It appears that during
print process the text fields retain a white box and doesn't set it
to be transparent.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? And is there a way
around this?

Last stage I get a white box with adobe flash player installler on top

I go through all the stages, I download, I open it and it installs but at the end I get a white box that says adobe flash player installer on top.
I read to uninstall, then reinstall and that is what I did, Now I have no flash player at all. WHY WONT THE FINAL STEP HAPPEN, WHY THE WHITE BOX? Now I cant play anything!!! please help!

Hi,
I just called the Mac store and they said don't worry about a password,
just click enter or okay. I went to the Adobe site, downloaded a new
version, ignored the box and hit okay, and it installed. No prob. Miracle
after years of trying!
Now I am enjoying my Qi Gong videos! See what I mean about a higher
intelligence? it does work!
I hope everyone can get easier access to Adobe. I did email them that too!

Flash buttons appear as white boxes

Hi,
I'm importing learning interactions as swf files from Flash into a Captivate project. These learning interactions use button components for "reset" and "submit". If the learning interaction is NOT on the first slide of the project I get white boxes and no functionality where the buttons should be. The buttons then work on all learning interaction slides after the first one.
Help!

Hi,
One thing you haven't mentioned about changing background colors is your CellRenderer. That is the object that performs the drawing of your custom nodes. I would start with that and see what you can do. Maybe you can override setVisible in that class and change your renderer to just draw an empty rectangle using the background color instead of your custom component. You might need to do this because the paint might even be getting called because of the setVisible flag being false.
Regards,
Manfred.

Strange white boxes behind text. Help!

I am in the middle of working on a very important document. In one section, an autobiographical section, I added sidbars. The background of text box is grey. Everything looked great, including when I printed last. Today when I was working on the document, I noticed that the headings (in the text box sidebars) have white behind the text. I tried troubleshooting:
I thought maybe there was a font trouble? tried changing fonts.
I thought maybe it was text box fill problem? changed colors of font and text box fill... No go.
Please ignore the terrible black boxes. I chose to black-out any personal data. The problem is the strange white boxes behind the headings (in the sidebar). Any ideas?

bump! help requested please
