Overlapping 2 swfs on HTML page

I have two separate swfs overlapping, each in their own div
on an HTML page. The one on top however is a horizontal drop-down
menu, and it overlaps the swf/div underneath it. The menu links
only take up a small strip at the top of the page, but drop-down
portion is what covers the majority of the page. Hence, the div
that the dropdown menu is contained in covers a large part of the
page as well. The swf/div underneath is a clickable link, but
because it's overlapped by the menu swf, you can't click on it.
Both swfs are set to wmode=transparent, and I've played around with
the z-index of both divs too with no luck.
I don't even know if this is a flash problem, or CSS, or
javascript problem. If anyone can just point me in the right
direction to solve this, it'll be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance for any insight on this.

Yeah, I have considered cutting the list in half in the backing beans, which would allow me to accomplish what I am trying to do, but I'd rather pull the collection from a single method and find a way to do it with JSF if that is possible...
appreciate the input...

FLV. not working in SWF within HTML page

I have created a SWF presentation which contains several videos as FLVs. The videos are uploaded to a folder on the clients server.
The exported SWF and HTML files of the presentations worked perfectly when hosted on my local machine but when sent to the client, who uploaded to their own server, the SWFs ran but would not play the FLV files within. When they changed the HTML files to HTM they worked perfectly.
However...when they embedded the pages into the content management system the use it required that the pages were reverted back to HTML, therefore the FLVs are not working again.
The 'still' frame appears where the FLV should be, but the skin and the video itself does not load.
Does anyone have any idea why this issue has occurred?
Thanks in advance.

@Ned
Not sure about the folder structure of their site, to be honest they've been a nightmare client from day one so getting information like that out of them has been nigh on impossible.
The flv files are all in a folder together and these are linked from the swf with this link structure: http://www.sitename.org.uk/folder/video.flv
I'm not entirely sure how their CMS is structured. I was throwing this question out on the off chance that someone had seen a similar instance where HTML/HTM file types had affected functionality.

Dreamweaver crashes when using Live View to preview SWF in HTML page

I'm new to DW CS4 and I'm trying to insert an swf on a blank html page. When I attempt to use "live view" to preview Dreamweaver crashes every time. I can view the page when I preview in a browser though. Is there something new in CS4 I'm missing?
Please help!
Thanks.

sschroeder2013 You are not alone. I updated a while ago and went into Dreamweaver to update a site and I see the same problem above.
Please let us know when you have repaired the problem.
Thanks!

Focus to swf from html page

Hi
I'm trying to control my swf file using keypresses.
I can test it perfectly in the flash environment however when
I try to publish it to a webpage I can't get the focus to the swf
to get it to action on the keypress.
I presume I'm missing something basic - hopefully!

to comunicate between actionscript and a html page, you can use flashvars or the externalinterface class.

Linking .swf to html page using a href ......

I have attempted to get an anwser to this on the Flash forum, but it is a jungle over there.... I have attempted to link a swf to a web page on my site using the a href property; the page opens in Safari and Firefox; however, in IE7 the page shows at the bottom of the browser, but nothing happens on mousedown. I fear it may have to do with the way IE handles the wmode=transparent property... I have tried using an invisible button in Flash, but it covers up the animation every time...
This is the code for the two button graphics (movie clips):
<table style="width: 100%;" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="left"><a href="/index.php/design-samples.html">
<object width="220" height="120" data="/Flash/designs_ad.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param name="quality" value="best" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="src" value="/Flash/designs_ad.swf" />
</object>
</a></td>
<td align="right"><a href="/index.php/recent-work.html">
<object style="width: 220px; height: 120px;" width="220" height="120" data="/Flash/recentwork_ad.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param name="quality" value="best" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="src" value="/Flash/recentwork_ad.swf" />
</object>
</a></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Hi
The reason it will not work in IE is because IE uses a different form of code to play swf's/flv's, (application vs's plug-in).
Firefox and Safari use - type="application/x-shockwave-flash", but IE uses - classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000".
If you do a standard insert - media - swf from the main menu bar in dreamweaver this will insert the correct code for you.

Randomly load swf on html page load

I am looking for a way to load random swf files on a page
load.
I will have 1.swf, 2.swf, 3.swf, and so on. I want my html to
reference "randomnumber().swf" when it loads (or something like
it). Any simple ways to do this? I'm a newb, so the more detail the
better.
Thanks in advance.

I must be doing something wrong. First time I have ever
messed with project.
I created a new project and over in the project window I
right-clicked and chose "Add File" and added my swf files. I went
to INSERT | NEW SYMBOL and created a movie clip called mc0. I
couldn't find where to change its position, so I tried CTRL-K on it
and tried different alignments on the stage (I don't think that
worked very well). I didn't know if you wanted the code on the
first frame of the movie clip or the main timeline. Based on the
code I thought the main timeline, but I put it in both just in
case.
Doesn't seem to work for me. Can someone fill in the gaps for
me?

Html link to multiple swf files on 1 html page

i have a html page that has multiple (20) links to video files, i would like to play these files in the same position, within the same html page. therefore saving myself having 20 html files with the separate swf files embedded. firstly i was planning on converting my .mov files to swf to make then smaller.
my query is, what is the best way to 'house' a swf file(s) that plays when clicked on the relative link on that page.
i have build the page using CSS and have limited javascript knowledge although im keen to learn.
cheers

You need a Flash player that supports a playlist. If you're good with Flash and Action Script you could build a custom player. If not, pick-one from the links below:

Please help!! Can I pass a variable between 2 swf's that are on different html pages?

Hey,
Does anyone know how to pass a variable (string) from one swf
to another if there in separate html pages?
I assume I’d have to send the variable from the first
page and load it into the second but I don’t know what
functions or code I should be using. Any suggestions would be a
HUGE help.
Thanks
If it helps: I’m creating a log in and sign up sheet
that can be accessed from several sites. I’d like to record
which site the user has come from when they signup.
Thanks

if they are open at the same time (for the same user), you
can use the localconnection class to communicate between the
two.

Select entities in a swf file and pass back to html page

Hi,
I am new to flash. I got a dwg file converted into swf file. Now I want this swf file to embed in html page. No issue with that.
The tricky part for me is to let the user select the entites of the file such as line/circle as one might select in autocad. After entity selection the swf file (by any means) pass the selected entity information back to the html page ( to the javascript function).
Is this feasible?
I have no clue Please give direction.

Thanks Tim.
I could solve the problem using javascript.
I have used the following javascript.
<script>
function test(){
var radioLength = document.wwv_flow.p_v01.length;
var retVal = '';
if(radioLength == undefined)
          if(document.wwv_flow.p_v01.checked)
               retVal = document.wwv_flow.p_v01.value;
          else
               return "";
     for(var i = 0; i < radioLength; i++) {
          if(document.wwv_flow.p_v01.checked) {
               retVal = retVal + ';' +document.wwv_flow.p_v01[i].value;
retVal = retVal.substring(1, retVal.length);
opener.document.getElementById('P1_TEST').value = retVal;
window.close();
</script>
Now the problem is solved!!
Thanks,
Archana

FAQ: How do I embed my SWF file in an HTML page?

Flash Pro creates HTML wrapper files for you when you use the File > Publish command, assuming you have the HTML Wrapper format selected in the Publish settings of your FLA file.
However, these HTML wrapper files only contain the <Object> tag code to embed your SWF file. If you want to embed your SWF file in an existing HTML page that contains other elements, you can copy and paste the appropriate HTML code into the appropriate location within your existing HTML page. You can also use Dreamweaver to add the SWF file to the page.
The TechNote Object tag syntax contains sample HTML code that you can copy and paste, along with instructions on how to edit the code to account for the actual name and location of your SWF file.

Hi,
You need to set the profile option 'Viewer:Text' to 'Browser'.

Getting one swf to be higher than another in the zindex of a html page

Hey all could someone please show me how I can tell one .swf
to be higher in the pages object stack than an other, I presume
using javascript?
Any help would be great.

Add a table with two rows put the first one in the fist row
and the second
in the next row. or make a two div's that work and put them
in there.
I think that for you the tables would work better and end
your frustration.

SWF won't play onced inserted into html page, though plays in absolute paths

I have embedded a SWF in my index page. The background image saved in the FLA shows up, but none of the remaining content. If I put in the URL to the actual SWF and HTML files, however, everything works fine.
palmettowebproductions.com is the URL of the site
this is the code in the index page:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8.0.22.0" width="900" height="284" id="slideshow\"> <param name="movie" value="/flashslidebanner/slideshow.swf"/> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed src="/flashslidebanner/slideshow.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="900" height="284" wmode="transparent" name="slideshow"></embed></object>

This to me sounds like an issue with the ActionScript. Have you tried posting in the Flash forum?

.swf file in html page with WebLogic Server in Netscape

I am not able to embed .swf (flash) files in html page when accessed thru' Weblogic server in Netscape Ver. 5 and below but supported in Netscape6.0 and IE. When run as html page without WebLogic server, it is working well. Please suggest a solution for this problem to my mail id.

I've had a quick trawl round the web, but can't find an answer to this specific problem - will let you know if i discovr anything.
Lots of people seem to have problems because the relative url address has to be in relation to the html page, not the loading swf. All my files are in the same folder, so it;s not that. Also, the problem occurs whether running from my hard drive or web server.

How to embed a swf video into an html page?

I am haing trouble embedding my swf video into my html page. Here is my code:
<embed height="340" width="549" src="flashvideos/test.swf" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=C:/Users/RogerPa1/Documents/Visual Studio 2008/WebSites/WebSite1/Products/Create/flashvideos&streamName=C:\Users\RogerPa1\Docum ents\Visual Studio 2008\WebSites\WebSite1\Products\Create\flashvideos\Robotics&autoPlay=true&autoRew ind=false"></embed>
When I run the page the place where the flash player should be is blank. But if I right click I can select settings so the flash player is there. I'm using absolute urls for the flashvars because I read in a forum that that's what you're supposed to do. Anyway I am a little frustrated that the video won't play. I tried creating a video with no skin and the same problem occurs.
Thank You
