Layers above a flash swf
On a simple page with a flash swf embedded, I want to put a
'loading' layer to show a 'please wait' message. That works fine
with any other objet, but with the swf underneath, the layer
doesn't appear. Is there something about the flash that makes the
'onload' true even though the flash file hasn't loaded?
Any options to placing a 'please wait' on top of the flash?
Thanks!
All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so
to speak,
including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and
Active X controls.
This means that each of these will poke through layers. There
is not a good
cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but
if you can be
confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can
use the Flash
wmode parameter (however, Safari does not support this
properly!).

Add Flash swf above html...HOW?
I've never used Dreamweaver, but believe it may solve my
problem. I have recreated the infamous page peeling ad totally in
Flash. It has a transparent background. I need to be able to place
this add OVER an existing web page. An example of this is here
http://www.tamingthebeast.net/articles7/peel-away-ads.htm
I was not permitted to purchase this software which
incorpoprates javascript for most of the functionality. I had to
rebuild it totally in Flash which I've done, but now I need to
integrate it into web pages.
How can I do this? I need to position it in the upper right
of a page and have it open OVER the content.
Help please.I was browsing through the Dreamweaver help files the other
day and remember reading that Flash content ALWAYS displays on top
of all other page elements automatically.
Here's the extract:
quote:
If your page contains Flash content, this might cause a
problem because Flash movies are always displayed on top of all
other DHTML layers, so the Flash content might be displayed on top
of your submenus. The workaround for this situation is to change
the parameters for the Flash movie to use wmode="transparent". For
more information, see
http://www.adobe.com/go/15523.
Good luck! -
Firefox Embedded Flash swf not shown in asynchronous desktop
Hi all,
in a jsp I embed a binary property of a content node that includes a flash .swf file. All that in an asynchronous desktop, using Firefox.
I use the follwing code:
"<embed scale="exactfit" quality="high" menu="false" width="600" height="400" hswLiveConnect="false" src="<%=myPropertyUrl%>">
When the page is loaded by "normal" browser request, the flash animation inside the jsp renders as expected. After click on an url (<a> ....</a>) inside the same JSP the portlet content refreshes (via Ajax request), only the flash disappears. After F5 it's back agian.
The problem does not exist with IE!
How do i need to handle this for Firefox?
Thanks for help.Firefox uses the object if there isn't a classid to specify an ActiveX control for IE.<br />
You didn't specify such a classid (classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"), so there is actually no need for the embed in this case.<br />
As jscher2000 posted above, an object tag only works in Firefox if there is a data attribute present (copy of the movie param) to specify the Flash file and a possible MIME type.
<pre><nowiki><object style="width:420px;height:272px" data="http://static.issuu.com/webembed/viewers/style1/v2/IssuuReader.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" >

You can't change size dynamically as it is defined by the
object embed tags.
You could use WMODE transparency which could help you fake it
tho not always best
solution to go with WMODE. It's a very buggy parameter.
WMODE will remove the background color so the flash movie
appear over the html and you
can see the HTML content trough the movie.
You could define some solid shape for the background on
bottom layer to make it look
like SWF background, than change it with the other loaded
movie making it appear as it
changed size while the over all flash size stats the same. As
said above - faking it.

CS3 Flash swf not visible on webpage
Hi,
I'm working in Dreamweaver and Flash CS3. For some odd
reason, Flash swf files are not showing up on my webpage. I never
had this issue with MX2004.
I uploaded the java script (new in CS3) but it still shows a
blank area -the swf dimensions - on the page. It previews fine
locally but not from the server.
please help.
Jeff
Sorry to see your use of the DW pop-up menus with templates.
You know that
they are not compatible with them, right? Also, you should
read this
(written by the person who adapted that code for Macromedia
to use) -
http://www.losingfight.com/blog/2006/08/11/the-sordid-tale-of-mm_menufw_menujs/
Also, your template doesn't appear to have been properly
made, since there
is no editable region around the page <title>, nor is
there an editable
region anywhere in the head of the page.
Finally, when I browse to this location -
http://www.worldofgranite.net/photogallery.swf
the Flash file loads, but it doesn't function. This means
that there is
something wrong with your Flash file itself, not with the
page, other than
the comments above, that is.

Here is the code that goes to the first table. If you put both sets of code together it will be from the start to the second table. I can add this code to the html file with no problem I only have a problem when the other code is added. I also have a problem sometimes using <noscript> </noscript>
So in all this code I do not see where the flash swf file is being call twice. any Ideas.

How can I make hyperlinks work from a Flash/SWF presentation?
How do you make hyperlinks/buttons work in Flash/SWF Captivate 5.5 presentations? This did not seem to be an issue with Version 4. I cannot publish to video (i.e. mp4) or as an executable file for posting on our internal system. If it cannot be done in Flash/SWF, how else can I get buttons/hyperlinks to work? Thank you.

Flash swf that runs on every browser except in Firefox. Can anyone help me please?
Hello.
I have an flash swf in a site that runs on every browser except in Firefox. I get an warning telling me that the page requires a newer version of flash player but i already have the 10,0,32,18 and the swf was published for flash player 9.
Can anyone help me please?
The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet. Are you still using the same wireless router. The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace. For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio. I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

Importing Flash (.swf) to Keynote
Hi all,
I am working in Keynote '08 (4.0.2) and have Quicktime 7.4.1 (14) installed. I need to import a Flash (.swf) file and play it in Keynote. Even though the online help says this: "You can also add video or Flash movies that play within a slide. For Flash to work with QuickTime 7.1.3 and later, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click QuickTime, click Advanced, and select Enable Flash." Keynote 4.0.2 does not accept .swf files (they are grayed out) and Quicktime 7.4.1 cannot play an .swf (This is not a movie file). Should I unistall QT 7.4.1 and install a previous QT version? Can Apple fix this problem? Any other suggestions? Thanks
Thanks for your quick response. Perian helps with Flash video but as far as I can tell it does not help with swf format. I have an actionscript loaded flash file that cannot be converted to MPEG-4. If you are indeed correct and Apple no longer supports swf with QT then I want my money back for iWork. It clearly states in their manual/help that users can import swf files and play them in Keynote. What a rip-off.
Is there a way to unistall QT 7.4.5?
Thanks.
How to set up one-button embed-hotlinking for Flash SWF?
Hello,
I'm publishing a webcomic in Flash.swf format and I'd like to make it as easy as possible for people to grab my comic and put it on their website. How can I set up one-button hot-linking that will automagically provide the code so that they can easily drop it into their website, similar to the way YouTube does with video?
Thanks,
Tom

Flash SWF Performance Testing and Data
Looking for some recommendations on tools that can be used independent of the source (that is just on the swf) to check for Frames Per Second, total size and how often the movie loops.
Needed for Flash Banner ad quality assurance.
The need was solved by writing my own AIR app to read the SWF file header.
http://www.lonhosford.com/lonblog/2011/01/17/read-flash-swf-header-in-air-with-parsley-fra mework/
You can drag a swf file and see the header data. As well you can load a swf from the web.
Enjoy.
Horizontally centering flash .swf" and disallowing horizontal scroll??
Is it possible to center a flash .swf file on a website, and then disable horizontal scrolling?
I made my website in Flash Catalyst, and I made the width 1700px and the height 1200px. I made the width large because I wanted it to look good in the largest screen resolutions, but my biggest problem now that I've finished making the website is putting it up. Simply embedding it makes it scroll horizontally all the way to 1700px, which isn't good for those with small browsers.
Originally, I was planning on making the flash file the background in CSS (using body {background: url(FILE.swf) no-repeat #000 top center}) but then I found out you can't put .swf's as backgrounds.
Basically, I want to know if it's possible to center the .swf horizontally, and then disallow horizontal scrolling. I want to keep vertical scrolling,
Any help appreciated!
Is it possible to center a flash .swf file on a website, and then disable horizontal scrolling?
Yes, but it introduces other problems. With scrolling disabled, you might not be able to see all the page. I DO NOT recommend what you are trying to do. Flash scaling would most likely give you better results.
Background images if intended to cover a large area are typically very small images which are repeated to create a pattern. Using one large image will still never cover all the possible screen resolutions or page sizes... for example larger than 1700 or taller than 1200 pixels.
Centering requires a set dimension, like 1700 so auto set margins would center it, but it still may not cover 100% as using a width of 100% would.
That being said, turn off horizontal scroll and leave vert on with:
overflow-y: auto !important;
overflow-x: hidden !important
then you'll need to use z-indexing to lay anything else over the top of you background .swf
Here a sample page that should get you going... dimensions are smaller so you can see how it works... the principle is the same.

Flash SWF file within Swing JFrame
I was wondering whether its possible to open a Flash swf file within a JFrame
I am looking for a solution similar to the usage of Flash Activex control in .NET
thanks in advance

I have read the forum link and other such entries in this forum. I have found the following:
1.) JFlash - a java based flash player. https://jflash.dev.java.net/
Could'nt find the app or the official site
2.) a few projects on sourceforge.org :
java flash bridge where you embed the flash inside an Integrated Browser Component
3.) SWT Flash integration.
I do not find any of these solutions satisfactory.except the SWT/Flash integration which I havent tried.
My question is that isnt there an easier and simpler way to :
Embed Flash into Swing app where actionscript and java can communicate.
I am aware of Remoting and web services. But It is a desktop app I am talking about.
Can anyone suggest anything?
thanks in advance..
from a very frustrated programmer....
