Mixing Flash and html
I am somewhat new, or I perpetually feel new to both html and flash. At any rate I am building a site for a friend where I have made a lovely simple flash movie and have dropped it into a div in dreamweaver. The movie takes up the entire page size and I have added other divs on top if it with html text.
My question: Am I asking for trouble?
So far all looks fine. I have had people tell me that stacking(nesting?) divs is a bad idea. I would like feedback from you pros. Thanks much

Every time you open page, flash reload from scratch. That's
how it works.
You can use frames and keep the menu in frame, which would be
easiest solution.
Or you could use Shared Object, something like flash's form
of cookies.
Make a record every time you press button, read that record
every time you
open the page and based on result do something with the menu
to indicate
that this is the clicked location, tho take note, it still
will be loading
the file from zero, every single time you open new html page.

How do I mix text and Html format in a java mail?
How do I mix text and Html format in a java mail? some part I want to keep the text format, the other part I want to use Html functions(like fond, color, etc)
You don't mix them. Pick one or the other.
However if you want to have a text version and an HTML version, so that mail readers that don't handle HTML can see regular text instead, then you could produce a "multipart/alternative" message. There's an explanation of how to do that in this article:

When is Firefox metro going to come to 32 bit windows 8 and can you improve flash and html 5 performance it cant play 1080p videos smoothly I love Firefox but I'm using IE 10 for browsing and video, then Firefox for developing but want to use it for everything!
This article might answer your Windows 8 questions:
[[Does Firefox work on Windows 8 and Windows RT?]]
Link: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/does-firefox-work-windows-8-and-windows-rt?
As for performance issues in Firefox with Flash 1080p videos, Information about your graphics driver might help. See:
*[[Use the Troubleshooting Information page to help fix Firefox issues]]
This Adobe page might also be helpful (it recommends disabling hardware acceleration in Flash settings as a possible workaround):

Advice on integrating Flash and HTML
I have googled and researched this topic on the web.
Integrating Flash and HTML seems like a popular topic but much of
the information is dated (using FS commands or solutions based on
2000-2004 coding and/or hacks) I am using Flash CS3 and Dreamweaver
CS3. I can use Actionscript 2 or Actionscript 3. Here is my goal
I want to use a Flash navigation in the top third of my page
and have it control and load new HTML pages in the bottom two
thirds of the page. Some of these html pages use SPRY code but most
are simple HTML pages. I prefer Flash over CSS because I have more
control and predictability. What I have found so far is three
different solutions.
1.HTML Framesets. This seems like a really good idea but I
thought using framesets was a fading technique and should be
avoided. Is this true?
2. Using the ExternalInterface class to communicate between
Javascript and Actionscript. This also seemed like a good idea but
it is not clear to me how to implement. Do I combine this with
innerHTML or some type of AJAX technique.
3. Keep everything in Flash and load different swfs into main
Flash page. I like this idea the best and it would work for most
pages but I still like html pages when there is alot of text or I
want to use SPRY techniques.
When I have posted elsewhere I get references to articles
telling me why Flash is bad or framesets are bad or innerHTML is
not standard HTML. The only thing I am sure about is that most
people are pretty passionate about defending their own way of doing
things. I am hoping someone can provide some solid information
about what is possible and how to implement a solution.It works when you put it online... :)1

Flash and Html combined elements
I have a question, basically what I have is a flash site, and
one of those sections is a news section, when someone clicks on
that section i want it to open up html webpage within flash and
then be able to scroll up and down the page because i know it all
wont fit. I want to do this because it will be easier to update, i
do not want anything fancy perhaps a picture resized and some text
under it, when you select the picture it will open in a new window
full sized. Does anyone know how to do this?Here's a good help article that should help to explain the process: Adobe Flash Platform * External API example: Communicating between ActionScript and JavaScript in a web browser

Package Flash and HTML based extensions together
Hi All,
I'm wondering if there is a way we can package a single zxp with two extensions- a flash-based and a HTML-5 based.
Is there a way, we can tell our extension to install (say) extension1 with InDesign version < 9.1 and install extension2 with InDesign version > 9.1 ?
Since our old extension was in flash and the new extension in HTML, we should be able to bundle both the extensions together and let the Extension Manager manage that in version which extension should be installed; else for any updates we need to upload separate extensions everytime. Is it possible?Hi,
please see HTML Panels Tips: #10 Packaging / ZXP Installers

Using Flash and HTML with Sound
Hi All,
I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to Flash and want to
start using it a bit more but I'm in 2 minds as to which way to
build my site.
I would love to have the functionality still of html and
place the odd bits of Flash in on the site or just create a flash
site but place each page into a seperate html page but there are
issues with the sound. I want ongoing music to be playing but the
tutorials I have looked at seem to lead to a stop start problem
when the visitor clicks from page to page. I want to make it a
search engine friendly as possible which is why one of my options
is to put build seperate html pages for my Flash instead of having
just one.
There may be some coding issues with a couple of pages that
link into databases and I would have to link these pages to pure
html pages for functionality purposes but this would need to be
done either way.
Can anyone advise which way I should go with this and if
there is a solution to the stop, start sound issues with loading
individual pages.
Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated.
Thankyou in advance

I'm almost done with my website and no the important thing is
what I tested isn't working anymore. I have a flash menu (on the
root of the server) in a frame called "topFrame" and html page in
my "mainFrame" (html/projects/startpage/startpage_still.html) I use
the flash menu to load html pages in my "mainFrame" by an XML. The
problem now is when I push a button the htmlpage is opening in the
new window and not in the "mainFrame".. see below for more
details.. I hope this explenation makes any sense. Can anyone help
me with this problem?
Button action onrelease, getURL(link[p], target[p]);.
In my xmlfile (xml/projects.xml) I a have,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<images>
<pic>
<caption>Myriapod</caption>
<thumbnail>images/projects/root/img_1.jpg</thumbnail>
<link>html/projects/startpage/startpage_still.html</link>
<target>_blank</target>

I'm not sure what is causing the problem but it has been happening since beta 10 and now its also in beta 11. Randomly when I load any web page the page is displayed in plain text leaving all the HTML or flash content blank. Yes I have the most recent version of flash installed along with Java just in case it was looking for that mess as well. Sometimes the pages load fine, and sometimes they don't, it's like playing lotto with the internet. The only fix I know of is to either keep refreshing the page and "hope" it catches it on the reload, or closing Firefox and running CCleaner. Some times FF will load some of the visual data and leave gaps but usually its just basic text mode. I'm at a loss as to whether the problem is from Firefox or my ISP being a douche, either way its annoying that Firefox is not showing internet pages like it used to.
Hate to see it happening but it looks like Firefox is on its way to being just another Internet Explorer clone (failure). Should have stayed with your original team, all the new folks you have hired are really mucking up the whole project and its goal of a free and open internet. Not to mention writing bad code and costing you money and more importantly the user base.
(Update, now it's not doing it go figure, but I'm sure it will do it again at some point, perhaps its not Firefox and something else, I'll keep my eye on it and try to report any findings)If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extension) like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flash Block</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I have just completed my website(www.Aquiteoddsite.com).
It is a variety cartoon site for my partner and I. We where
going to upload the file the other day but when we put it on an
HTML page- The Audio was happing abut a second before the
animation. I then checked to make sure it was not in the actual
file. I wacthed it by itself and it worked fine. Then I tried again
to toput it on an html page- once again it wigged out. Finnaly I
tried to put it on a different site and it still failed o work
properly. I don't remeber futzing around with my publishing
settings either.
If you be so kind as to help me, we would greatly apprecate
it. to the 5th power.
Thanks in advance. Quite Odd.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!).

Hi
I'm creating a site that has a news page displaying xml
content in flash - i'm using this so it can be updated externally.
I need to create a second news page that the user is redirected to
if they do not have a flash plug-in - this will be a html page. Is
it possible that the same xml files are imported into this page and
formatted with the same css so i don't have to create and update
two files ? or am I going about this the wrong way ?
taYou can use JavaScript or PHP/ASP/JSP/ColdFusion (ie most
server side scripting languages). A server side script is usually
better as it doesn't rely on the client having JavaScript, but you
are probably using JavaScript for Flash detection anyway. I would
still recommend using a server side script, if you can on your
hosting server.
If you have Dreamweaver and you decide to use server side
scripting - it will do all of the scripting for you!

If I were to have an option the person visiting a website to either go to a Flash-based site or HTML-based site, how would I go about doing this (aside from building two separate sites)? Do I make my index.html page with two links to go to either? And if so, what name do I give my home page? Also, how would the file system be set up?
Use SWF Object Replacement script on any page with Flash in it.
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/
The script detects if Flash is supported. When it's not, HTML alternatives are displayed on the same page. This method is probably the most web accessible and you can use your current site structure.
