Gap under flash movie in Firefox

Hi all,
A site im developing shows a gap under the flash movie in firefox.
http://www.britanniamotors.net/
I dont get the problem using the other method of embedding that i used on
http://www.britanniamotors.net/aboutus.html
the problem with using this method across the site is that i am using flexipanels on these pages and they wont display the flash movie when the flexipanels are on the same page
http://www.britanniamotors.net/pxtoclear.html
So i guess the answer may be in how the flash is embedded in dreamweaver but after much searching on the web i cant find any solution.
Any help will be gratefully received.

Check to be sure that you have the correct Flash plugin
installed. You obvioiusly have the correct activeX control
installed.

Space under flash movies

Hi All,
I am having an annoying problem: when I use swfobject code to embed flash movies, it leaves a space under the movie that breaks the design. This happens when viewing it in Chrome or Firefox (on a mac), but not in Safari. I have found that when I just paste in the <object> code alone
created when I publish the movie out of flash into my HTML document, the space disappears. I have tried removing all line breaks and extra spaces
from the swfobject code to no avail. This also happens when I add the movie in using Dreamweaver CS4 (insert->media->swf) , which uses
swfobject.
Here is an affected page, note the space under both the header flash movie, and the main movie under the nav: http://hamptonsdesignstudio.com/index2.html
Here is the page with just the object code and the desired design: http://hamptonsdesignstudio.com/index.html
I would like to be able to use swfobject to provide alternate content for
search engines, but not at the expense of breaking my design. Any
suggestions ?
Thanks,
Colin

Glad you figured it out.
It would be good if you could mark this thread as Answered so the folks who help will not need to keep clicking on it. thanks.

Overlib images dissapear under Flash movie

Hi all,
Total noob with flash.
I have some thumbnail images on my page, when you mouse over
the images an overlib pops up with the full image. Not far above
the thubmnails is a flash header, when the overlib images pop up
part of them is going underneath the flash movie.
Any ideas on how I can prevent this?
I have tried replacing the flash movie with an image of the
same size and it all works fine then so I know its not a layout
issue.
Thanks a lot for any help with this.

The reason this happens is because Flash is an example of
so-called
Active Content. Flash movies aren't actually *in* the HTML
page in which
they're embedded, they just look that way. The <object>
or <embed> tags in
the HTML tell the browser to launch an instance of the Flash
Player at
thus-and-such dimensions in this area of the document, and
the Flash Player
and browser work together to give the illusion that the SWF
is a part of the
page.
> Any ideas on how I can prevent this?
The only way to affect this issue involves an often buggy
feature called
WMODE.

No sound in Flash movies [SOLVED]

Hi there.
This is the souncard: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Terra … 1_USB_MK.2
I replaced my /etc/asound.conf with the one in this wiki (Surround 5.1) since the .asoundrc is deprecated.
Now, Flash movies in Firefox(Dailymotion, Youtube) don't play any sound... It seems I have to configure something in /etc/modprobe.conf, but I don't know what exactly.

Slow Flash movies in Safari and Firefox

This issue started right after the software update of Safari 3.2.1 (from 3.2). I'm totally lost, because it does not make any sense to me. The performance on Flash websites with either Safari or Firefox, is extremely slow and stuttering. Fade-ins and outs are no longer smooth, I can even HEAR their "calculating".
What confuses me most is the fact that watching my self-created Flash movies as swf files is perfectly fast and smooth. As soon as they are being viewed in a browser, local on the computer or on a web server, they are slow.
Here's what I already did, and it got somewhat better, but not back to how it was before the software update:
- reset safari, empty cache.
- uninstalled and reinstalled the latest Adobe Flash Player plug in.
- repair disk permissions
- add DNS codes
- I even upgraded the RAM's to the PB's max of 2GB
Anybody got any ideas? I was thinking it might be the video card. But why would the Flash movie show smooth as an swf file but not in a browser?? And why was everything OK before the update?
I read that the video card is part of the logic board. Is it possible to exchange that at all?? This is what's installed: ATI Mobility Radeon 9700, VRAM 64 MB.
Thanks in advance for any inputs!!

I figured out the problem/cure. I had help, though not from this website... However, I thought I'm going to post the solution here, in case someone else is experiencing the same problem! It turned out that it was not the update to the latest Safari (3.2.1), but the latest Adobe Flash player version (10) that caused the bug. Apparently older Mac's (I'm using the 1.5 GHz PowerBook G4 aluminum) cannot handle the latest technology of Flash player 10.
I uninstalled the plugins, using Adobe's Flash player uninstaller, downloaded the Flash player 9 folder here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=2 and installed version 9.0.151.0. Repair disk permissions. That's it. Everything is back to normal!!
If this was helpful to anybody, I'll be happy to hear from you!

Flash movie not play on FireFox

I built couple flash movies ( using flash 8) on the website : http://www.hoaxinh.com
For some reason, they do not automatically play in new Firefox. The movie only play when use click on "play" button.
Should I have to convert these movie using higher verson of flash? could you please help?
Thanks

what's not playing at your link?
double check its publish settings so you do NOT have "paused at start" checked.

Flash movies made in keynote are not working in firefox

I have just finished a 65 page iwebsite at
www.acendedmasterscards.com
it is a card reading with a flash movie - made in
keynote for each card. It looks beautiful in
Safari but in firefox I get a blank white bit
instead of the movie. Help! I would also love
comments on the site! Karen.

I join in the other's congratulations as your site is wonderful. I really enjoy it and I have bookmarked it that I too can post a link to it when I get to an appropriate place in my web building. I will inform you of it.
I really like what you did with flash and I was trying to do something similar using keynote but I was exporting to a podcast instead of flash and it was never working right. I now thanks to you might try to do it in flash.
As far as the other browsers are concerned you might ask the question on the keynote forum as well perhaps one of the experts there will have another idea as to why it does not work. In the mean time keep positive thoughts and perhaps safari will become the new ie since it has been released to windows.
Thanks for sharing

Issue with border around submenu when a flash movie is under it

I've searched the forum and although I found posts about flash movies covering spry menu items, I couldn't find this exact thing.
I have a spry menu with a submenu which has a 1px solid border around it. On the pages linked to by the submenu items, I have flash movies. For pages where the flash movie is down far enough so that it is not overlapped by the submenu, everything looks great. However, on those pages where the submenu overlaps the flash movie, the border around the submenu is not visible on one side and is offset about a pixel on the other side. This is only happening in Firefox 3.6.18 Every other browser I've tried works. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi Gramps,
Here is the site:
http://www.wordartist.com/mythicharacters
If you hover on "Sacred Arts", you'll see the behavior.
Thanks for taking a look at this,

When both plug-in objects and jQuery mouse events are present, Firefox re-starts the plug-in object (eg Flash movie) after a jQuery mouse event occurs. This doesn't happen in any other browser. How can I get around this?

Please check http://www.syus.com for an example. There is a Flash movie underneath the main navigation. The main navigation has a jQuery mouse event, and when you mouse over a button in the main navigation, the Flash movie re-starts. I can confirm that this happens not only on Flash swf files, but on standard <object> YouTube embeds.

Ok, I promise this is my last post without your help. I did some more troubleshooting and it only seems to happen when jQuery appends elements to the body that were previously invisible. In other words, I can simply change the css in jQuery from using element.css('display','inline'), but if I try to use something like slideDown or other jQuery tooltip functions that append and/or remove elements or style definitions it causes the "object restart" bug.
It is impossible for any developer to eliminate this bug without changing the actual source of jQuery, which I can't do. My only other option is not to use sophisticated show/hide jQuery elements like drop-down menus and tooltips on the same page as an embedded object, but I don't want to do this since Safari, Chrome and even IE (dear God) users won't have a problem with this. I think this is a major major bug that should be fixed in Firefox 4 as more and more sites will be looking to use the latest jQuery plugins.

Flash movie (.swf) getting clipped

Hi,
At the website www.coastlifechurch.com there is a Flash movie
on the front
page (top left of the eight squares). I made the basics of
the Flash movie,
then emailed it to my client to put new pictures in. He
assures me that he
left the movie at 200px x 200px. When it is inserted into the
page (he has
done via DreamWeaver), the bottom right gets clipped by one
or two pixels.
Even when I tested the movie setting the parameters to 150
px, the movie
still gets clipped. When I view the movie directly in
FireFox, it shows the
border all around the movie just as it should. (see
www.coastlifechurch.com/flash/Get-to-know-us.swf)
Can anyone help me work this out?
Thanks,
Bruce

Thanks for replying and the great info on getting a QuickTime to play automatically.
Please can you continue to help as Im having no luck.
I will write below briefly whats happening.
I made a QuickTime in iPhoto as was suggested. I dropped it into iWebs 'Media' button under the 'Movies' tab, in a folder. I then dropped the QT file onto my web home page. It shows with a control bar at the bottom of its window for playing it.
I published it OK. The live website shows the QuickTime movie BUT you have to click play to start it. So I then I opened the html file in iDisk in TextEdit.
I tried and tried to find the html code for the QT Movie. I read and re-read the whole html file from top to bottom and found no sign of the QT Movie. Then I went to 'Edit' and 'Find' in TextEdit and typed Movie. It came up with a bit of code which says writeMovie1();
I guess that this means it is talking about THE movie in question but there is no more code to
do with 'true' or 'false'. If it said false Id change to true but writeMovie1(); just looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
stuck almost at the bottom of the html file page.
Please help...remember Im using iWeb 06
Thanks...I hope Im close to solving this now. All I want is to play the QT automatically.

Menus not working when flash movie is added

We have some menus on our portal and if we add a flash movie, the submenus under the menus will not work on IE6, however in IE7 and firefox it works fine. When we remove the flash movie all the submenus will work on IE6, IE7 and firefox.
Any help on this?
Thanks
Here is the code for our flash stuff
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://dddd.swf" id="FlowPlayer" height="270" width="360">
<param name="movie" value="http://ddd.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noScale" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="flashvars" value="config={videoFile: 'http://dd/1/134263.FLV', autoPlay: false, loop: false, showMenu: false, initialScale: 'orig' }" /></object>

You can try 3 things :
- use full urls in your menu : http://your_portal:your_porta/portal/page/portal/... instead of just "/portal/page/portal/...."
- embed" your menu code as well as your flash code with a complete html code (<html><head></head><body>...</body></html>
- spceify some <base url=...> in the head section of each. There can be conflicts about this. When you say your menu does not work, you mean the links are wrong when you click on a submenu ? What is the url of the link and what is the url you're getting at ?

Movie Not Loaded. (Flash Movie)

when i visit a particular site to watch flash movie, i get a message saying : "Movie Not Loaded" But when i check the same site on IE or Google Chrome, the movie loads.
This issue started after i updated to the latest Firefox 4.0.1. I had also updated the flash plugins but still the same problem.

I had the same problem. I tried all the solutions above from cor-el without any luck.
But after clearing offline storage, youtube started working again.

Flash movie doesn't load properly in IE only

I have a simple flash movie which transitions through text and photos. I have a preloader (AS3) on frame 1, which sends the playhead to frame 2, after the movie has loaded 100%. For some reason, in Internet Explorer, the preloader bar will load all the way, but fail to move the playhead to frame 2, so it'll just sit there, with the preload bar at 100%. However, this does not happen every time. For instance, right now, the flash movie will play when I initially go to the website, but when I click on another page, the same flash header (same swf on each page) will just show the preloader bar but will not play the rest of the movie. Reloading the page doesn't help. Closing the browser and reopening it doesn't help. Clearing the browser cache doesn't help either. So, the flash movie will play correctly on the first page of the website I go to (whether it be the home page or another page) but then when I go to any other page which has the flash movie, it won't play, just sits there with the preloader bar showing. And then when going back to the initial page I entered the site on, the flash movie no longer plays there, either. I haven't seen this problem in any other browser than Internet Explorer (6 and 7). I've checked in Firefox on Mac and PC and Safari on Mac. I'm using flash player 10.0.22.87 on my Mac and PC. The flash movie was made in Flash CS3, for flash player 9, actionscript 3 code.
So, to see the problem, go here in Internet Explorer: http://demo.matthewpavkov.com/adairsolar. Wait for the movie to load and start playing. It works. Then, navigate to one of the other pages and you'll see that the same swf will not play. Navigate back to the home page, the swf does not play.
Here is the preloader code:
import flash.display.*;
this.stop();
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, PL_LOADING);
function PL_LOADING(event:ProgressEvent):void {
    var pcent:Number=event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal*100;
    lbar.scaleX=pcent/100;
    lpc.text=int(pcent)+"%";
    if (pcent>=100) {
        this.gotoAndStop(2);
Also, if I remove the preloader actionscript code, the flash movie plays correctly. You can see that here: http://demo.matthewpavkov.com/adairsolar/no-preload
The .fla is available to anyone who wants to take a closer look.

mjjp,
     In may just be that in IE, the ProgressEvent never fires -- because your content is already cached. See what happens if you add the following new lines (very end of the code sample):
this.stop();
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(
ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, PL_LOADING
function PL_LOADING(event:ProgressEvent):void {
var pcent:Number=event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal*100;
lbar.scaleX=pcent/100;
lpc.text=int(pcent)+"%";
if (pcent>=100) {
    this.gotoAndStop(2);
if (this.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded >= this.loaderInfo.bytesTotal) {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
     See what's going on? This way, even of the ProgressEvent handler never fires, you're still comparing the bytesLoaded property against the bytesTotal property.

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.
