How to fade html background behind flash?

I was wondering if someone knows of a tutorial or an easy to follow example of flash being popped up over an html page and the background of the page fade to a slightly darker colour so that the flash is more prominent.
I've seen it done and would like to know how its done. An example of what i'm speaking of is here:
http://www.tcpipelineslp.com/
(click on the map)

Looks too complicated. It sounds like using this method to fill the browser window would scale my swf to fill the screen when all i want is to keep my project the size i built it at but scale the background.

How to Call HTML Layers from Flash?

how to Call HTML Layers from Flash? i need a help on example
or script.

What do you mean html layers? You can call JavaScript on the
page using the
ExternalInterface class. There's examples in Help if you look
up the EI
class, and it's call method.

Changind html background from Flash

Hello,
I have a centered Flash website(table align center), and I
would like to
have the html background to change on certain event.. Is
there a way to
do this without having to reload a new html?
Thanks
Henri

Yes that's what I understood; I was also wondering after
reading your
replies if if a getURL couldn't do the job f;i;:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:document.body.background='new_bg_pic.jpg'");
what would be the disadvantage of this compared to
exterrnalinterface class?

How to blur the background behind the AIR application?

Dear fellow developers and Adobe gurus,
With the BlurFilter, I can easily blur everything inside of
an AIR application.
But, figure this for a moment: I'll have an application with
some sort of transparent background, which results in all the items
and programs behind the AIR application shining through. Further
imagine that I have some kind of blurred background in my
application from which I want the UI components to stick out nicely
and sharply.
But here's the suprise: no matter how I blur the contents of
my AIR application, everything behind the app stays sharp and
crystal clear.
Now my idea of the whole picture is that the Flash Player
somehow "hands through the application" what is behind it when
system chrome is off and transparency mode is on, but it only seems
to "pipe" it through without applying any effects/filters to it.
So, my question is: is there a good reason for this (maybe it
would be a serious performance and/or platform alignment issue), is
there a workaround (like "plugging into" the piped stream of
background information), or will there some first-hand solution in
the future?
Best regards
C.

Thanks a lot for this quick, plausible, and clarifying
answer.
I feared it was something like that... it leaves me a wee
disappointed.
I was hoping to be able to create some sleek blur effects in
the background of my application with AIR...
With the fullscreen capabilities of the Flash Player in mind,
I was also hoping it was possible to create some kind of fullscreen
blur-fade effect, with all the other items fading/blurring to black
when turning my app into fullscreen mode. Something like the effect
of the Steam Media Player, if you happen to know that. But since
that is built upon the Windows Media Player, I already feared that
it would be something specific to WMP in combination with the OS.
I also understand that it would be very difficult to achieve
a similar effect with something like screenshots since it is almost
impossible to do that real time.
Is there any faint chance that AIR/the Flash Player might be
able to do something like filtering/affecting what is shown behind
the app in the future?
Best regards
C.

HTML background matching flash background

Hey, I have a flash website that opens as a pop up, the pop

I would like to know how to stretch a background image using HTML

Hello Seniors of Sun,
I gota small doubt in HTML, can any one please help me in solving it,
I would like to know how to stretch a background image using HTML? I have tried and tried to figure this out and cannot..
so any one kindly help me in this...
waiting for reply...

Please note that this is not an HTML forum.
You can use an image tag on a DIV positioned behind the rest of the page, so that could actually work. And if you want to use body:background, then look up an HTML/CSS reference and see if there are any other body attributes or CSS stuff that applies to the background image.

How link from html page to a specific frame in flash cs5 as3

Hi!
I'm kinda new around here. I am interested in knowing how to link from a specific html page to a specific frame in flash cs5 as3.
I have a website that I originally began to design in flash but later started developing new pages for it in html. The flash part of it has several pages on different frames and I have created links from the flash part to the other html pages, but, I can only link the html pages back to the main flash home page, and not the other pages in the flash part of the website.
I have read that in cs3 it was possible using the flashvars skip variable, but I don't know how to do it. I have not yet seen any working examples and I could not find any instructions / tutorials online for cs5.
Can someone help here?

add a query string, to the swf's embedding html, with variable/value indicating the frame you want to display in your swf. add a javascript function to return the query string (or entire url), call the javascript function from flash using the externalinterface class. and finally add code to your swf to parse the returned url or query string, parse it and then direct your timeline to the appropriate frame.

How to display html content with image in Adobe Flash and Flex mobile project?

Hi,
I have a html content with image in it. How to display it in Adobe Flash Builder and Flex mobile project? Which control needs to be used for this?

Hello,
The only current way is to use an iFrame, or if you only need some html tags you could use the Text Layout Framework.
Here this is the iFrame approach:

If the swc do not work in Flex4 just use its ource code which works...

How can I remove the background behind my selected graphic?

I have a logo that has a rectangular background behind it; I want just the logo itself. How do I get the odd shaped logo only off the rectangle? This was not created with AI, I don't know what program was used. I can't just ungroup.
I am learning this by trial and error, please - a simple explanation for my non professional ears.
Thanks!

In a case like this just hiring a pro is not enough.
sorry, I have to disagree.
Handing the graphic stuff to a pro works for so many clients. Why shouldn't it work in this case? There is no simple alternative available. It's just not possible to explain this in a few newbie-compliant words and there is no simple method to get the desired solution (a logo without a white background - or whatever color it may be).
Because you did not read what I wrote and decided to interpret it based on the one phrase.
This user or would be users has no background in computer generated art and perhaps non in the preparation of art in genera for reproduction.
Hiring a pro in itself will not make for a great result and there is a good chance not even a professional resul.
The reason is that they themselves do no understand the requirements and probably put the kind of restrictions on the Pro to do things that will make for failure.
They need some education and some know how to relate to what the pro is doing for them.
It would be different if they had a professional or experience person to mentor them on the client side but they do not seem to.
I wrote they had to do three things in order to get some form of knowledge so they can work with a pro.
The OP states hey do not even understand the meaning of some of our words and phrases and so they first need to gain the some understanding of what is gong on or they will be in a panic at every turn.
I would even venture to say that you have never worked successfully with a client that ha no understand about what you are required to do, I am not say the OP has to be an expert they do have to be able to communicate with a pro.
The OP has to know what the pro is telling them what they are doing for them etc.
If you have ever been in the position of working with some one totally unfamilar with the task at hand then you would understand what I mean.
I once had a client who told me he could actually take the photographs better then I can if I would just show him the button on the camera that made the photos look good, so I pointed to the shutter release, he accused me of lying saying I was not showing him the secret button that professionals use.
He actually found a way he tells everyone that he took the photos I took that day.
So unless the OP has a good basic knowledge they cannot make rational decisions as is the case here.
to the OP I am not accusing you of being like my client but you do need some understand of what your designer would be talking about andkeep in mind that Ilustrator is not that easy to learn even if it looks like it would be.
