How do I crop edges out of Flash movie

I created a header using flash that involves a piece of
content hanging off the stage. I thought when you did that, the
part that is off the stage does not show. However, when published
to the web, it does show and shifts adjacent content. To see what I
am talking about, please go to www.dumpthepump.net. Any idea how I
can fix it?

If the SWF is inserted into the HTML file properly, you
should not see the stuff that lies outside the stage, and the
masking wouldn't really be necessary. So there might have been a
problem with your HTML code which enabled those outside bits to
show up.

How can I add a library of flash movies to my site?

I posted this same question on the Dreamweaver forum and a suggestion was made that I try over here for help, so please excuse the duplicate question.
How can I add a library of flash movies to my site?
Hey there everyone and thanks for reading my question.
I have a library of flash movies (specifically a library of maps) and when the map movies are run in Flash they call each other just fine (i.e. the USA map will load the Georgia map when Georgia is clicked on the USA map, etc etc etc for each state).
HOWEVER, when I insert the USA map in one of my site pages (I'm working on the site using Dreamweaver CS4) the USA map page will load, but when a state is clicked the area on the page for the map goes blank and the state map does not load.
Short of coding a specific path in each of my state maps (in the Flash editor) is there a way to tell Dreamweaver there is a library of maps, look there for the sub-map?
and if I do have to code the path to the map, can I code a relative path rather than a specific URL address for the maps?
I know this is probably one of those simple things, but I'm not seeing it (can you tell I'm new at this??)
Thanks in advance for any help!
Frances

Hey again,
Thanks for the helpful suggestions. Everyone's comments got me to thinking about what the path was in the calls from the maps.
here is what finally worked:
on (release)
loadMovie("../FlashIMapDownloads/georgia.swf", 0);
this script code is in the action script for the "georgia" button of my main map - a US Map. (I hope I'm describing all this correctly).
I'll post this same info in the Dreamweaver forum too.
Thanks again!
Frances

How to get POST data out of Flash

I am using this, but so far, no joy. How can I get info out
of my swf into a PHP file to be read?
And trying to read in in a PHP file with this:
$title = $_POST['Artist'];
$track = $_POST['Track'];
$image = $_POST['Image'];
echo "Artist Name: " . $title . "<BR>";
echo "Track Info: " . $track . "<BR>";
echo "Image Path - " . $image . "<BR>";

Nuthin' is ever easy for me. I think I am my own worst enemy
most of the time. I am trying to test this via a pop-up window
which I am opening within the same code block. I can't see where
there are any conflicts, and I get no errors, but something is
keeping this from working. Either my poor coding or something else.
The window opens fine, just no variable values are echo'ed Thanks
for looking in.

How do I crop an image in Flash?

I've been croping my pictures to use in my flash in photoshop but I want to crop the pictures so they fit the size of my page in flash. Does anyone know how to crop pictures in flash?

There is no tool to crop the image, you can make an mask on it but still the whole image resides within the stage. May be you can break apart and remove the unwanted sides, but not for practice.

Please help, how to import a SWF (catalyst) from Flash Movie ?? Thank you

it seems that lodMovie is not working with a target.
Thank you

Hello Tara,
It's simple, I've developed an animation with Catalyst (took me 2 days...to learn a move forward) and i would like to use that animation inside a flash website. so i'm trying to load the Catalyst swf file animation inside my flash main movie without success !
I"m tryin to do : loadMovie("catalyst_animation.swf", TargetA); TargetA is an empty movie clip located a certain position.
the loadMovie("catalyst_animation.swf", 0); is working but this is not what i want for a clear reason (loading inside and at a certain position).
Thank you for our help.

How large can a flash movie be ?

i am buiilding a larger interactive site than i have before,
that contains a lot of images.
i haven't posted it on the web yet, but in testing the movie
it seems to freeze or go extremely slowly while "exporting flash
movie "
is there a limit to how much you can put in a flash movie,
and what is it ?

Probably the limit of what you can stand! There is a limit of
16000 frames in the timeline, but that probably isn't what you are
running into here.
If you have lots of images and maybe some video, and your swf
is maybe over 1Meg or even 500K then perhaps you are taking the
wrong approach. You should probably look into having external
assets that are cleverly preloaded just when they are needed.
This will cut down on publish time, but will also produce a
better experience for the end user and allow the flash player to
better manage memory usage.
Look into the MovieClipLoader class.

Aligning flash movie edges with jpg's in HTML

I have created a flash movie that is 766 px wide by 750 px
high. The html page that the flash movie is embedded in uses jpg.
images to fill the remaiming browers area. (so it appears to the
viewer that flash movie and html page are one seemless page)
The problem I am having is matching (aligning) the edges of
the flash movie with the jpg images. I can get it very close, but
it never seems exactly right. (The edges of the flash movie have a
gradient and some color change.)
You can view my work in progress at:
http://www.awitest.com/index_silver.html
My questions is: is there a simpler, less time consuming way
to get the edges of the flash movie line up correctly with the
jpg's in the html???
By the way I have Design Premium CS3, if any of those other
programs can help with this problem.
Thanks for any advice!

yes, is is.
you can use this link.
http://de.selfhtml.org/css/eigenschaften/positionierung.htm#position
the dicription is german, but there are no problems to use
the code, i think.
working with cs3, i use the html of flash an delete all the
java-text. it's possible to use the objekt-tag in the
div-tag.

Load webpage in flash movie?

I've been working with components for a while with a lot of
actionscript, and I really cannot find out how to put a website
inside a flash movie using the internet connection component. Am I
using the right component or am I trying the impossable? Please
respond. Thanks in advanced!

You can load the raw html - if flash is told (e.g. via
flashvars) the url of the page that you want (its available in
flash as what you would think of as the browser's 'view source'
style plain text) with either as2 or as3.
But you can't do full browser-style rendering of the content
because flash just can't do all that. You could parse the raw html
(probably a custom parser as I think the internal xml parser might
choke on some of the tags in html that are not closed such as
<br> etc) and just pick out bits of text or images that you
could display but you can't achieve an embedded browser.
Adobe's AIR might be more what you want - it has embedded
browser support- but it doesn't run inside a browser like flash.

Communicating with Flash movie

Hi. I have a question. Is it possible to create a game in flash that will actively communicate with my application. Especially, how to send asynchronically the data to flash movie?
E.g. The game that uses the application for the network communication so it receives the data and sends a data to application.
I am considering using dll for the games in the application but I am also considering flash if the feature is available. It can be also a mixture of both: dll and flash.
Thanks for answering...

Commands from a flash movie to a DW html document

I'm using ajax to load a flash movie when a button is
pressed. the movie loads ok and all, but I need to have a button
within the flash movie to be able to close both the animation and
the layer.
http://amedeldesign.com/interiores2/
I took the idea from those animations that sometimes appear
in yahoo, where you click on a corner for example, and a flash
animation that cover part of the page appears on top of the other
content.
I don't know if what I'm doing is as practical code-wise
either.
So also, if anyones has suggestions to do it in a better way,
please let me. The least I ask is how to send a command fromt he
flash movie that affects the html document.
Thanks!!! Here's what I have so far, Please note thtat the
layer witht he aniomation closes with another html on top of the
flash movie, that's not how I want it...

Hi there Katherine,
It sounds like you want to know if there’s a way to share movies between your devices. Take a look at the article linked below which provides a lot of great information about sharing iTunes libraries on your home network with Home Sharing.

How do I clean out the flash player cache?

Thanks for your helpful reply. If most of my website visitors are using Safari browser (( iPhone, iPad devices )) what type of flash should we use in the headers?

I hope to use my previous flash designs.
Best regards
Since Apple designed iOS (per Steve Jobs' insistence) to be specifically incompatible with Flash, I wouldn't worry about what Flash content to use in headers for devices that can never, and will never, be able to see it.
I stopped using Flash for anything in my websites about six months ago, converting what I had to HTML5 (MP4) and any new content that would have previously been done in Flash is going the be the same.
