Mouseover buttons cut off (Flash CS4)

I'm a brand-new Flash user, coming from a print design background, so my terminology might not be accurate. I placed a gif of a pie chart in Flash, and created mouseover popup boxes (buttons) for the four sections of the pie. Clicking on each box will bring up a different Web page in a new window.This works fine, until the Web editor places the Flash file on the page.
The problem is that the "stage" area is larger than the pie chart, creating lots of white space that causes awkward text wraps. When I reduced the stage area to a size just larger than the pie chart, the popup boxes got cut off. I've tried assigning "transparency" to the HTML in Flash, but it didn't solve the problem.
Is there a way to have the pie chart take up minimum space, but have the popup boxes appear in their entirety, temporarily covering the text beneath?

What you probably need to do is retain that transparency change you made and in addition to that create a div layer for placement of the Flash that has a z-order setting it over the page text where those wide open spaces would otherwise be.

Property inspector cut off [was: CS4 help]

Hello all,
I just got a new computer with windows vista 64 bit. With this new computer, I got a new CS4 package. In dreamweaver, the properties pannel on the bottom of the screen cuts off and does not show all the stuff that it used to. For example, I can see the word Target, but there is not dropdown box for me to select which target I want to select. Is there a way to fix this so everything is viewable?
Thanks

Hmm - well, I can't. Too bad. Who would search for a Property inspector answer with CS4/help in their search phrase?

HDR Pro on CS 5 - Merged image appears but bottom with save buttons cut off??

When I select photos to merge, either via Bridge or within CS5 (Automate/Merge to HDR Pro), the Merged image appears over the CS5 screen. However, the bottom of the HDR screen with the photos selected for the merge along with the Cancel & Save buttons are cut off. The only way for me to exit HDR is to force quit.
My monitor resolution is 1440X900 which is better than the 1024x768 required for CS5.
I noticed the same problem in Terry White's video on Youtube describing workflow between Lightroom & CS5 HDR Pro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rab25UTe6HY) as well as a couple of other users mentioning the problem to Zeno Bokor of Adobe (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-78e5a.h tml).
Does anyone have a solution???
Thanks.

I found the soluion - after spending over an hour with Adobe phone support (800-833-6687) - of which 45min was being on hold.
It turns out that for some computers, Photoshop CS5 doesn't automatically work as efficiently as it could with the monitor resolution, even if the resolution is > than the minimum 1024 X 768. This is more frequent in those that have had older versions of Photoshop in them. This causes part of the screen to be cut off when going into HDR Pro.
One has to "prime" CS5 to recognize one's computer monitor settings. How to do:
Close out of PS CS5
Go to system preferences and select hardware settings/display (For PC would have to go through Control Panel/Hardware/Display)
Change monitor setting to one recommended by Adobe: 1024 X 768 or 1280 X 800
Save changes. Monitor will look less clear if you have been using higher settings...it's ok for now.
Now open CS5 again and access HDR Pro all three ways available, i.e. via Bridge, Mini Bridge and through PS under File/Automate.
Verify that the entire screen is visible including all thumbnails and Save/Close buttons.
Close out of CS5.
Go back to System Preferences ( for PC, go through Control Panel) and change back to your preferred resolution.
Voila! When you open CS5 again you should be able to see the entire screen.
For example, I use a Macbook Pro with OS 10.6.7 and the monitor resolution was set to 1440 X 900. However, I still couldn't see the bottom of the screen with the Save/Close buttons so couldn't save any work (had to force quit or escape to exit HDR). After doing the above steps, I am now able to use HDR Pro w/o problem and access the Merge via all three modes.
Via Mini Bridge - Choose photos to merge--> Tools (above photos, last on right in Content bar) --> Photoshop --> Merge to HDR Pro
Via Bridge - Choose photos to merge--> Tools (Tool Bar beside "Adobe CS5 Bridge" at left top of screen; 3rd from end) --> Photoshop --> Merge to HDR
Via inside Photoshop - File --> Automate --> Merge to HDR
Since this seems to have affected several people and is a simple solution, I have asked the supervisor I spoke to, Laurie, to please have someone in Adobe post this solution.
Hope this helped.

Buttons cut off in Dialogue Box for Mail

Hey, I was using Mail to send out an email to my the people within my company, and a dialogue box came up saying cannot send through the selected server. Thats was fine, but unfortunately I can't close the dialogue box because the buttons at the bottom are cut off, since there were too many addresses 150+ of them.
Is there a way i can scroll down a dialogue box to close it so I can resume using mail? thanks

Greetings,
Unfortunately, there's no way to access those buttons to close the box; you'd have to just quit Mail and restart it.
But instead of putting the addresses of everyone in the To: field, you should just put one address there (your own) and BCC all the rest of the addresses. That way, I believe if this happens again, you won't have all those addresses popping up in a long list that you can't close.

Help With Buttons In Adobe Flash CS4

Hello, I am trying to create a satellite map where the user scrolls over each satellite button and displays an overlay and some information about the satellite.
I have got a test site where you can look at what I am trying to do. (home.exetel.com.au/jasdemo)
The first map has the satellites on the equator and the second one is the map with Overlays of where the satellites cover.
When the user scrolls over each Yellow spot on the equator I want the overlays and information to be different for each button.
At the moment I have a problem where you scroll over where the overlay sits and it still comes up which I don’t want only when you scroll over each yellow spot on the equator.
Each spot on the maps have been converted to buttons, they all have a mouse over keyframe so the name of the satellite can show up.
The First map on my test site works fine except no overlays for each spot and no information which I need.
Hope I make sense...
Please either email me or post me back if you need more information or if you have a solution to this..
Thanks

Im not sure what you mean sorry ill link my .fla file and you can see what I have done.

Where is the "done" button in Flash CS4 when using Flash Builder 4's new flash component or container?

The documentation for Flash Builder 4 beta says that after opening flash from flash builder, I should click a "done" button in flash and flash should close and what I created in flash should be included as a component or container in Flash Builder. Using the Flash Builder 4 beta on Windows, when I click on the "create in flash" button on the properties panel for either the new flash component or container, Flash CS4 opens, I create something in Flash and no "done" button is present. Nor is anything present in the menus resembling a "done" option. Where is it?

Hi Jeffrey:
Still no done button. Now under commands in Flash I can convert symbols to flex components and containers and these show up in the Flash library.
Thanks:

Hi,
You may need to install FlexComponentKit.mxp to your Flash CS4 beforehand.

Subject: Flex Where is the "done" button in Flash CS4 when using Flash Builder 4's new flash component or container?
I apparently didn't get one. I've looked under various workspace configurations. Another thing that seems odd is that when Flash opens I get the opening panel that allows me to select the type of file and version of AS I want to use. I select new file with AS3. Any ideas on why the "done" button wouldn't be present and if the opening panel is what I should expect on opening Flash after clicking the "create in Flash" button?

HELP! Flash header cutting off, but only on some computers

http://www.omsstrategicadvisors.com/
Our site has been up for approx 9 months and there's been no problem. Now all of a sudden, on SOME computers that were perfectly fine, the flash header is getting cut off.   Well, I guess magnified is a better description...
  I have not been able to recreate the issue on my screen. All the "guilty" computers have ie8, while I am stubbornly still on ie7, which is why I was thinking ie8 might be the culprit. However my bus. partner has multiple systems running and it looks perfectly fine on ie8, chrome, and firefox. Even problem computers have moments of clarity, for instance it happened on my husband’s pc then I refreshed the images and it corrected itself. Then at the customer site, I opened the url on one of the “offending” computers, it was cut off again until I logged in…then it corrected itself immediately. But when I tried that on the computer I am testing today, it did not work. Then I was checking the Compatibility View Settings within ie8, I unchecked the box regarding Intranets, and it worked. Thinking I’d found something, I went back in and re-checked it, and the problem was back, ok….now I really thought I was getting somewhere. But when I went in again and un-check the box….nothing…still wrong. Over the past 2 days, I’ve updated their Flash Players, made sure all the images were the same size, deleted and re-uploaded the pix and xml files, contacted the skin author, anything I could think of. The author also checked all the CSS and site setting, everything looked in order. Also tried using the Compatibility View feature, setting that site to only be shown in IE 7, it did not work, which makes me think maybe it’s not the browser. I just attempted to back the computer down to an earlier version of Flash Player (9 as opposed to 10.1). Also did not work.
Of course, the client is freaking thinking about the big client that is due to check them out this week. I’ve been searching every support/community forum looking for someone else with this problem…if you have any answers or know of any better places for me to look, please let me know.
Any help is truly appreciated.

Hi, I just checked your site and it looked good to me, headers changing nicely and no glitches. The header and the body of the site filled my 19" monitor which I use with my work computer. XP/SP3/IE6 with Flash Player 10.1.82.76. Yes that is IE6:-) In your screen shot, there are extra wide margins(empty space) on the left and the right side. And it blocks the text. That did not appear when I went to the site. However there was extra space on the left and right sides both, but not so much that the entire text could not be seen. On www.bing.com the site comes much closer to the scroll bar.
Your Tech experience is way above my head as I am not into what you do. However I do pretty well at researching so I'll see what I can find that might point you into the right direction.
My only observation is that this happened "all of a sudden". Some kind of change must have happened. Could a user have made a change on the computers that are having this issue? Some Anti-Virus update?
I don't really think it is Flash Player related and for this reason: It is not consistent. Most all of the time some program with certain add ons into the browser, especially Anti-Virus add ons are what affects the Flash Player ActiveX Control that is in the browser. Flash Player is a browser plugin so any add on in the browser is a negative or a positive.
You may want to use the Adobe SEARCH field or the SEARCH at the top for Forums. You would know what key words would work best. The Forum SEARCH may be better to use since it covers all Adobe Product Forums.

Flash bottom getting cut off

I need a swf to fill the entire window no matter the screen
size or resolution, thus I'm using the percentage system. For some
reason the bottom of the swf is cut off even though the window is
big enough to show it.

Whats happening here?
If Skype is warning you about not having Skype Credit to place the call, you may be calling numbers not covered by your subscription. Not all subscriptions cover calls to all numbers in a particular country. In many countries, landline numbers are the only numbers covered by subscriptions. To better answer your question, we would need to know what subscription you have, and what number you are trying to reach (you could X out the last few digits of the number for privacy, but we'd need to know the country, city/area code, and what type of number this would be).
Otherwise, you could contact Skype Customer Support, give them the specifics of your subscription and the number(s) you are trying to reach, and let them help you out.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

While the Note 4 is a reasonably large device it still falls into the phone layout bucket. We need this layout to function on very small screens some as low as 320 pixels high and 240 pixels wide. These sorts of devices don't have the space for a full toolbar.

Drop-down menu cut off by Flash component

Hi,
I am using Flash CS3.
I have a drop-down menu and a Flash component immediately
below it. When I hover over the menu item, it opens downwards but
gets cut off by the Flash component.
This doesn't happen if I replace the Flash component with a
picture.
Any advice what could be done will be much
appreciated.

Adding parameter wmode="transparent" to both Flash parameter
tags and embed tag solved this issue for me.

IPod abrubtly cuts off and only comes back on when you unlock the hold button. why and how can i fix this?

I listen to my iPod Classic at work and it kept cutting off today out of nowhere and this hasn't happened before. I have it in my pocket so I have the HOLD button in the lock position so the wheel won't get pressed while in my pocket. I figured it died on me but I had just charged it last night so I took it out and unlocked the HOLD button. Well, the music immediately came back on. It happened a few more times and i figured maybe it was the song or something so I changed albums and it kept happening. Every time it would cut off, I'd unlock the HOLD button and it'd come back on every time, almost like it was paused or something. Has anyone experienced this? if so, how do I fix it? I really don't want to buy a new iPod since I have little money because of school, bills, and photography/film equipment. Help? thanks.

I'm having a hard time finding an answer to this too. This is what is going on. Sometimes the iPod (iPod Classic 160GB) does not "like" the songs I've downloaded from cds. Sometimes it does. I think it always plays whatever songs I've purchased on iTunes though. The other day I synced it to add two new cds and somehow the iPod was wiped clean--no songs, no pictures, nothing. I did a reset and the songs came back but now these problems:
1. The song will play for a few seconds then it either skips to the next song.
2. The song won't play, just skips to the next song.
3. Everything just stops, the iPod is still 'on' but won't play anything.
4. Right now it's playing an Aimee Mann album that I downloaded but it wouldn't play the Joni Mitchell album just before. Is the iPod making a comment on my taste in music?
Flipping the lock back and forth helps sometimes, but not always.
I bought this device less than two years ago; I really hope it's not permanently messed up. Should I just go to the Apple Store (please I beg of you, don't make me!) and throw myself at their mercy?
Help!! My iPod is the only thing that gets me through the day in this office.

Flash player 11 cuts off parts

I have noticed, recently, my flash player has been cutting things off. So if I load a game part will be cut off that I can't access. Or a video (which I previously could watch) I cannot anymore.
I really don't want to have to downgrade, but could I get some help?
I run win 7 (illegeitimate copy) I mainly use Mozilla Firefox, and I have already tried re-installing.
Thanks
oh and, it works properly on IE

I just updated it, so 9.0.1
that is the newest, right?
