Overlib images dissapear under Flash movie
Hi all,
Total noob with flash.
I have some thumbnail images on my page, when you mouse over
the images an overlib pops up with the full image. Not far above
the thubmnails is a flash header, when the overlib images pop up
part of them is going underneath the flash movie.
Any ideas on how I can prevent this?
I have tried replacing the flash movie with an image of the
same size and it all works fine then so I know its not a layout
issue.
Thanks a lot for any help with this.

The reason this happens is because Flash is an example of
so-called
Active Content. Flash movies aren't actually *in* the HTML
page in which
they're embedded, they just look that way. The <object>
or <embed> tags in
the HTML tell the browser to launch an instance of the Flash
Player at
thus-and-such dimensions in this area of the document, and
the Flash Player
and browser work together to give the illusion that the SWF
is a part of the
page.
> Any ideas on how I can prevent this?
The only way to affect this issue involves an often buggy
feature called
WMODE.

Hi All,
I am having an annoying problem: when I use swfobject code to embed flash movies, it leaves a space under the movie that breaks the design. This happens when viewing it in Chrome or Firefox (on a mac), but not in Safari. I have found that when I just paste in the <object> code alone
created when I publish the movie out of flash into my HTML document, the space disappears. I have tried removing all line breaks and extra spaces
from the swfobject code to no avail. This also happens when I add the movie in using Dreamweaver CS4 (insert->media->swf) , which uses
swfobject.
Here is an affected page, note the space under both the header flash movie, and the main movie under the nav: http://hamptonsdesignstudio.com/index2.html
Here is the page with just the object code and the desired design: http://hamptonsdesignstudio.com/index.html
I would like to be able to use swfobject to provide alternate content for
search engines, but not at the expense of breaking my design. Any
suggestions ?
Thanks,
ColinGlad you figured it out.
It would be good if you could mark this thread as Answered so the folks who help will not need to keep clicking on it. thanks.

Gap under flash movie in Firefox
Hi all,
A site im developing shows a gap under the flash movie in firefox.
http://www.britanniamotors.net/
I dont get the problem using the other method of embedding that i used on
http://www.britanniamotors.net/aboutus.html
the problem with using this method across the site is that i am using flexipanels on these pages and they wont display the flash movie when the flexipanels are on the same page
http://www.britanniamotors.net/pxtoclear.html
So i guess the answer may be in how the flash is embedded in dreamweaver but after much searching on the web i cant find any solution.
Any help will be gratefully received.Check to be sure that you have the correct Flash plugin
installed. You obvioiusly have the correct activeX control
installed. -

Thank you for getting back to me. Yes i am using a timeline tween. I have an image on my stage which moves in from one side and out the other side. I am trying to stop or pause the image. The effect i will be asked to reproduce in my exam will be something very much like the banner on the website http://www,iactweb.com. If you go to this website you will see images arrive on the banner and pause before exiting the other side. I am fairly up to speed on all the aspects of getting this effect but i have forgotten what i learned during the course on how stop or pause the images. I am using the trial cs5.5 version of flash . Thanks again for getting back to me. -
In the new version of Adobe Flash Player 11.5.502.110 the images are not displayed. In previous versions they are displayed. Tested on several computers. This is not a local problem. This is a problem of Adobe. The bad news is that the early versions are very hard to find and reinstall it.
Many different systems tested. And all browsers.
Now there is no big image.
Example:

and many others.....hi i have noticed the same problem. also with Chrome and FP ver 11.5.31.2and Firefox and Safari with FP 11.5.502.110
it seems that MovieClipLoader class not returning onLoadInit event. I use to add a fadein function on loadInit to fade in the loaded images. with the latest Flash PLayer versions this is not activated so you cannot see the loaded images.
I have tested this on 3 different systems and the problem is the same. I have not updated my FP for IE. There, the older FP still works well.

How do i make an image pause in a flash movie clip
Please can someone help me. I am trying to find out how to pause or stop an image in a basic flash movie clip, after it has entered from one side and before it exits the other side.
I have been trying to work it out myself for three days but no joy. I am practicing for a test with a training agency which gave me a disk to use but nowhere in it does it say how this is done. I am also having a lot of difficulty making stop start buttons work with this movie clip. I am using a trial cs5.5 version of Flash which expires in 7 days so i need to know this soon. I am up to speed on most of the features, its just this one thing that has me stumped. A lot of the tutorials or examples i have found on the net are very long winded and hard to follow exactly. Could someone let me know, step by step the sequence i should follow after i have created an object and made it go from one side of the stage to the other.Hi

When I load different flash movies in the same image-control
(e.g. via a button-click), the browser-cursor starts switching from
a busy-cursor (the little round clock-cursor) to an arrow (or
hand)-cursor intermittingly, without stopping.
When I load the same movie over the existing one in the
image-control this does not happen.
Seems like I have to unload the old movie first? I don't know
how to do that.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanx in advance.

Spry navigation bar covers flash movie beneath it but not the jpg image, why?
i have a spry navigation bar with a flash movie underneath,
and when i hover over the navbar and the submenu pops down it
covers the flash movie, but it doesn't cover the .jpg image that is
next to the flash movie. how can i fix this? thanks.thanks for the reply Murray, a responder from the flash forum
gave me the following answer and it worked perfect.>>
The <object> and/or <embed> HTML elements that
reference your Flash content accept a number of optional
parameters. For the <object> element, these parameters are
supplied via nested <param> elements. Simply add the
following new <param>:
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
The <embed> parameters are supplied via attributes. For
the <embed> element, add the following new attribute:
wmode="opaque"
That’s it. Your Flash content is now stackable via
z-index; for example, you may wrap your
<object>/<embed> pair in a <div> and set the
<div>’s z-index as you please.
<div style="position: absolute; z-index=1;">
<object attributes >
<embed attributes />
</object>
</div>
If you’re using Dreamweaver, just press the Parameters
button in the Insert > Media > Flash dialog or in the
Property inspector when selecting existing Flash content. Type
“wmode” (without quotes) in the name/parameter column
and “opaque” (without quotes) in the value column. That
will handle the above HTML for you, even with the new JavaScript
embedding available since the 8.0.2 update. -
Issue with border around submenu when a flash movie is under it
I've searched the forum and although I found posts about flash movies covering spry menu items, I couldn't find this exact thing.
I have a spry menu with a submenu which has a 1px solid border around it. On the pages linked to by the submenu items, I have flash movies. For pages where the flash movie is down far enough so that it is not overlapped by the submenu, everything looks great. However, on those pages where the submenu overlaps the flash movie, the border around the submenu is not visible on one side and is offset about a pixel on the other side. This is only happening in Firefox 3.6.18 Every other browser I've tried works. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.Hi Gramps,

Shahid HussainHi users,
Thanks for reply.
Actually the problem is -
For portrait dimensions are -
width 20
height 30
for landscape , obviously it will be
width - 30
height - 20
Thus , for second page - table width is 20 while page width is 30 and so 10 cm space remains blank on right side of page
user says that right side should not be blank, rather you extend table width to whole page width.
thats where the problem is -

make it run on a DVD player for the TV nor what resolution will be
required.
Can any one please help me?welcome DBeaty to the boards...
be sure, your iM project is located in the 'Movies' folder of your Mac.
Launch iDVD
choose a Theme
click on Media/Movies
drop project into window...
choose 'create image' under file...
be sure, 10 - 15 GB of free disk space still avail on your internal harddrive...
wait...
wait longer...
double click on created img file..
launch Toast (or Disk Utility)

Problems inserting flash movie into webpage
I am trying to insert 2 different flash movies on one webpage
One is a banner made in flash cs4 that works fine.
The other is a movie that I encoded with flash cs4 from a m4v file. When i test this file using the flash player on my computer everything works fine.
When i try to play on the webpage it shows there is flash object in dreamweaver but is blank in webbrowser.(right clicking shows there is flash there but nothing loads)
I have managed to get the movie working on a completly blank html file except that there are no controls (controls work fine in the flash player on computer)
As far as I can deduce it's not the html file because one swf file works ok
It's not how i'm inserting it onto the page because dreamweaver is doing it for me(and including the nessecary javascript etc)
It's not the movie because that works in the flash player on it's own.
So i'm stumped
any ideas guys?
(if it's any help the webpage it's on is www.csdrummer.co.uk , click on top right image on sidebar, has play button, under navigation)
Thanks
JamieI'm sorry I missunderstood the post from earlier. If I add the flv file in dreamweaver and upload the corresponding swf all works well but the flv file is 45mb which is a bit large for a 3 min video.
What i would like to do is turn this into a swf file. But this is where the problem is happening. THe swf when i export from flash wont work, comes up in the browser as doesn't load

I want to create a xml image gallery using flash. My problem
is that I do not know how to create the movie in such a way that it
takes up all the space within its containing box (div). (It should
fill the horizontal space of the monitor.) At the same time it
would be great if the height adjusts itself to be in the format
16:9.
Is this possible?In the file menu, there is an option called "publish
settings" that allows you to decide how your project will be
published. Under the html tab you can select plenty of options that
will show up in a HTML file along with your project. While this is
probably not what you want entirely, the code inside that file
might help you. -
How can HTML call a Flash movie?
Greetings Everyone!
I'm sincerely hoping that someone has the answer for me. I'm
a newbie, but trying so very hard to understand... :) I've read
books, pages & pages of this forum, 'net searches - I haven't
found a complete answer to my challenge so far - thanks in advance
for any help you can give...
Here's where things are:
1) I've created a series of swf Flash movies that loop (at a
particular size so they can play inside of an html table cell)
2) I've created html buttons in another cell
What I'm trying to do:
1) Like a swap file in HTML (where you click a button and an
image changes elsewhere on the page, click another button, and that
image swaps to a different image file)
I want to have a flash movie play on a click of a button, click
another button, and a different flash movie plays in the same
spot.
The challenge is the interaction between Dreamweaver and
Flash and getting HTML to talk to Flash.
Here's the code direction I've been heading ...
...IN MY HTML code...
I have a onMouseClick event for each button link. In this
code I set some variable names inside it.
onMouseClick="setFlashVariables('sendmovie','myMovie=activeMovie1')"
---- this would be for button 1.
onMouseClick=
"setFlashVariables('sendmovie','myMovie=activeMovie2')" ---- this
would be for button 2
onMouseClick
="setFlashVariables('sendmovie','myMovie=activeMovie3')" ---- this
would be for button 3
Basically, I'm setting a 'myMovie' variable to 'activeMovie1'
or 'activeMovie2' or 'activeMovie3' when one of the buttons is
clicked.
If 'myMovie' variable is equal to 'activeMovie1' by clicking
a link, this will tell a flash movie: (" Hey flash! Variable
'myMovie' is equal to 'activeMovie1'. Act accordingly."). When the
2nd button is clicked, 'myMovie' will be equal to 'activeMovie2'
and so on.
I need to declare the 'myMovie' variable in my flash movie -
how do I do that?
...IN FLASH...
1. I need to create one variable which will act as a variable
receiver from HTML. (What I called "myMovie")
2. I gather I need to create an IF statement so that
"myMovie" is set to which "activeMovie" ( it could be
activeMovie1/activeMovie2/activeMovie3 etc ) ,
----->Question:
Where should the IF statement be and
How should it be written?
Admittedly I don't know Action Script 3 very well.
if myMovie is equal to "activeMovie1"
then load a movie. (This movie will be a movie related to my
1 Button.)
else if myMovie is equal to "activeMovie2"
then load a movie. ((This movie will be a movie related to
your 2 Button.)
else if myMovie is equal to "activeMovie3"
then load a movie. ((This movie will be a movie related to
your 3 Button.)
Here's where I'm stuck....
1) If I've already made my movies into swf files where does
an IF statement go?
2) I'm missing the mechanics of how to connect the dots here
- how do I get button 1 to load movie 1 and start playing
automatically? When I click button 2, movie 1 is replaced by movie
2 and starts playing automatically.
It's a detailed explanation (I know) - I'm hoping someone has
an answer for me that's equally explicit. Thanks so much much for
taking the time to read it!!Anybody?

How do I display a live webpage (live data feed) as part of my looping flash movie.

What I need to know is how do I set up the flash file to display the live page as one of the scenes of my looping movie? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Ben.
