Page flicker on pages with SWF content

Hi,
In Dreamweaver CS4, inserting a SWF puts it inside an <object> tag and then there are some helping files. But I have read that for best performance one should also put an <embed> tag inside the object tag. The need for this seems increased when I realize that all my pages with SWFs flicker upon pageload and when googling I see that the solution is to add the "transparent wmode" parameter to my embed tag.
But I can't do that since I have no embed tag.
The SWF inserted is ActionScript2.
1) Is there a setting in DW that I have missed that would create this embed tag as well?
2) If not, what is Dreamweaver's solution to the flicker problem?
(As a side note, when I publish from Flash CS4 and create a HTML together with the SWF, there is neither object nor embed tag created in the HTML, only a huge amount of javascript which I guess does the inserting dynamically. But that leaves me without clues as to how to deal with the flicker in the Flash-generated page as well.)
Thanks a lot,
/G

Hi
The embed tag has been depreciated in (x)html, and this is why the object tag is now used.
As for inserting a wmode transparent, if you check your object code created by dreamweaver you will find a wmode in the code, probably set to 'window' which is the default, just change this to transparent, (this is included in 2 places, 1 for IE, the other for other browsers).
As for the code created in Flash when you publish your file to html, this is included in the swfobject_modified.js file created by dreamweaver and placed in the Scripts folder.
The 'flickering' is most often caused by invalid code, run your pages through the html validator, (not the one included in dreamweaver) - http://validator.w3.org/.

  • How to copy a page( webpart page) with its content using client side.

    How to copy a page(in my case  webpart page) with its content(it may contain webparts) using client code (i mean using SPservices or ECMA script).
    What i am planning is ,to give end user a page where it will contain text box to specify  name of page and a button with the help of  content editor webpart.
    where on click of button we need to write client side code such that it should create a new page from a existing page in a library with given name by user.
    Any suggestion would be helpful. For your information we can do it through UI with the help Site Actions / Manage Content and Structure.But i want to automate it using client side code.Server side code is restricted.
    or can we create a template of an existing page with content without the help of sharepoint designer.
    Thanks in advance
    with regards Ravichandra

  • Firefox is stumbling when pages with PDF content come up. how can i get my old version3.5.6 back?

    Question
    firefox is stumbling when pages with PDF content come up. how can i get my old version3.5.6 back?

    Thanks for your response Cor el, I'll try that the next time it happens, it's completely random. One moment it functions normally then suddenly it changes its mind.
    Restarting my pc usually brings it back to normal until next time.
    One thing I've noticed, but not 100% sure there's a connection here.....I edit my websites online and log into cpanel which opens new pages in separate tabs, as it should do. It seems that this problem occurs when I'm logged into cpanel...if i'm logged in then open a new tab for regular browsing of other sites then all links on those sites also open in new tabs.
    Ican't say for sure if it's always only happened when logged into cpanel, but certainly on the last 3 occasions.
    At the moment it's behaving normally so much I can do to check your suggestions, but will try them the next time it occurs.
    One other thing I forgot to mention too....since i've had the new firefox, I've noticed that when I log into yahoo and post comments, I often find myself having to log on for each new post. Everything was fine with old firefox and there have been no other changes to my pc .

  • I applied a template to a page with SWFs and now that page does not play the SWFs. Why?

    I applied a template to a page with SWFs and now that page does not play the SWFs (just a blank area where the SWF should be). When I detach the template it will play the flash file. This site will eventually be updated via Adobe Contribute. And I just discovered that when applying a template to a page that uses HTML datasets (Master/Detail),it no longer reads the Master/detail regions and displays a blank. Any thoughts?
    [Moved to Dreamweaver forum by moderator]

    Firstly, you shouldn't really 'apply' a template to a page, you should create a child page by going to FILE>NEW>Page from Template.  Too many things can happen when applying a template the way you are doing it. eg:; editable and non-editable regions not matching up and being asked where to place these regions and in all likelihood, you end up with 2 or more of the same region.
    When a swf file is inserted into a page, a corresponding Scripts folder is written automatically is stored in the root of the site - it is also linked to in the head of the document. What I believe is happening is that when you apply a template to the page, the Template has no idea that there is a swf file on the page and is not aware of the correct link to the Scripts folder.  If you do a test and add the swf file to the template page itself, I bet that the links to the swf and the scripts folder are correct - because DW knows the correct path to the script file.   Hence the reason the page probably works when you detach it from a template.

  • The report displays more than 3000 pages with same content.

    Respected Sir
    I have a report with form letter layout.
    The report contains only one page,but while running the paper layout ,the report displays more than 3000 pages with same content.
    please anyone give a solution to this problem

    I think there is no bad joining. b'se when the querry is executed in sql, it is working properly(means returns only one record) . This problem is not for a particular report. Any report using the "form layout", the same problem occurs.
    Why this problem occurs. How can we solve it.

  • [FP 11.4 & FF 14.0.1] Firefox hang on every page with flash-content

    Hi at all
    I have a problem with the new Flash Player, let me explain it:
    We have a windows-domain with software distribution via GPO.
    Since update to 11.4 via the msi package (11.3 was previously installed) we have in the meanwhile 3 PCs (all Win7 x32 with FF 14.0.1 and Flash 11.4) with this problem:
    - While loading a page with Flash content, the Firefox simply freezes and have to be killed together with plugin-container in order to work again.
    If this happens, ff and plugin-container have 0% cpu-usage. It freezes and does nothing...
    If I remove Flash: Web-pages are working, but without flash.
    What I've tried:
    reinstall using flash-uninstaller
    Using "normal" end-user web-installer
    Uninstall via Uninstaller and tried 11.3 again
    reinstall Firefox, both 14 and 13
    Nothing helped to bring Flash-support back.
    This happens only on FF, Internet Explorer is working fine...
    Can someone give me a hint?

    The key here will be to determine what is different between the machines that work and those that hang.  Of all the systems that fail, they are all Windows 7 32bit?
    Yep, this issue only happens on Windows 7 32-bit machines, currently 6.
    Do you have any 32bit systems that don't fail?
    Yep, the most Windows 7 32-bit machines wont fail.
    What about hardware, are there similarities here?  Attached devices/drivers?  Software that is running at the time?
    These machines are all from DELL. They all have normal hardware, nothing special. Other machines from same type does not affected. Software: All have standard software distributed via Software-distribution (GPO). Only some PCs have special software, but it is not running. No special drives, too.
    Maybe try booting Windows in safe mode to see if it still hangs?
    Good idea, indeed - I will try this.
    We're definitely interested in what's going on.  I'll ask our security and Mozilla folks to see if they have additional clues.
    Thanks!
    EDIT:
    Safe mode: Flash is working! (without disabled Protected Mode!)
    I've set msconfig now to: Custom system start and deselected the boxes to load systemservices and system start elements.
    So, now windows does a non-safe mode boot but no service or element was loaded except the drivers (right?). Flash is not working with this config!
    So, whats the difference between safe mode and normal boot with minimal configuration (see attached picture).
    Only drivers will be loaded, right? If so, I can exclude the network and graphics driver as source: graphics driver are updated right now and network was working in safe-mode.
    Any new ideas?

  • Firefox 20.0.1 with Shockwave 11.7.700.169 crashes when you access web pages with video content

    I have a problem with Firefox 20.0.1 under Windows 7 with Shockwave flash 11.7.700.169. When I access a web site / web page with some content that requires Shockwave (usually videos) I can view the video, however, when I exit Firefox, it will crash with "Firefox encountered a problem - check for a solution ...". I also have a web site "MyHeritage" that when I access a family tree I repeatedly get a message "Video driver stopped working - NVIDIA driver ... has successfully recovered". If I disable Shockwave, Firefox will not crash in both cases, unfortunately, I cannot watch any video content.
    I did go to the Adobe web site and updated what I thought was my version of Shockwave, unfortunately this installed Director for netscape V12.2, I have disabled this plug-in.
    BTW - running Firefox in safe mode (add-ons disabled) stopped my NVIDIA driver from crashing and also stopped Firefox from crashing when exiting.

  • In the vertical page with scrollable content, i can´t swipe to next article. why?

    in the vertical version of the page with one scrollable content frame, i can´t swipe to next article. the scrollable content frame has in both versions the exact size of the page. in the horizontal version this works perfectly. Used folio builder v22, pdf and smothscrolling off.

    Thanks for the answer. But i found out, that it was my fault. A status of an object was outside the scrolling content frame. But thank you for the possibilty to ask questions.

  • Win8.1/Chrome 64bit: NPAPI Flash Player crashes on every page with Flash content

    Hi,
    Chrome 64bit (beta+) crashes on Win8.1 64bit, if I use the NPAPI Flash Player (v15 beta or v14 stable) and open a website with Flash content.
    More details here:
    https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=402262

    Turning off NPAPI in Chrome 64-bit will be a very bad move. I'm using a Windows 7 Setup, with a Core2Quad 65 nm CPU and a pathetic Geforce GT 8500 GPU that is basically worthless. PPAPI  flash betas are available as a standalone now at this point, but I have done lots of side by side comparisons, and the PPAPI plugin is absolute garbage compared to the far superior Netscape architecture based plugin. I'm not the only one saying that. I have found loads of forums, and instruction videos online to fix Chrome video playback on youtube for instance. I have to install "Magic Actions for Youtube" addon for chrome so that I can disable HTML5. then I have to go into the plugins menu on chrome and disable pepper flash. I keep the 64 bit flash betas regularly updated this way, and I am getting peak performance. Once in a blue moon it will crash, but I think that is Google's fault. HTML5 should not be the default option in youtube. Compared to Flash, it does not have great GPU acceleration ability, and HTML5 in 64-bit doesn't even perform superior to 32 bit web browsers, where as 64 bit flash is a leap forward, as long as it's the NPAPI version, that is. Problems I have with the HTML5 and also Pepperflash are very similar.   The audio is out of sync with video, and the cpu is maxed out from memory leaking. I'm skipping frames and seeing glitches left and right. The seek functions in pepperflash never work right on youtube, you have to click an inch before wherever you want the video to play. On and on. Pepper flash has audio crackle. You can't get rid of the crackle from pepper flash or HTML 5. Yet, with NPAPI 64 bit flash beta in 64 bit chrome canary it plays PERFECTLY. once in a while I have it crash, which i think is the fault of the fact that I have to use an add on to force off HTML5. Why would I want html5, when flash NPAPI  64 bit produces superior picture quality on all quality settings. It's better in every conceivable way. Shame on Google for not putting more care into 64-bit flash on 64-bit Chrome. It couldn't possibly be a more important deal! You can tell pepperflash and HTML 5.0 are an afterthought. It's only youtube playback quality. why would that matter to google? OMG...  
    While I'm at it, I have one other issue that blows my mind. Adding command line flags in Chrome 64-bit (Canary) in Windows. Why do we have to add them through a shortcut in the "target" line? The target line runs out of space after 3 or 4 commands! I wish they would update Chrome Canary to allow for unlimited command lines to be added. It should be an option to add Command Lines on the About:Flags screen. I am so disappointed in these two glaring issues. It keeps me up at night.   

  • Firefox crashes on pages with Flash content

    MacOS 10.6.5 on a 2008 MacBook Pro
    Firefox 3.6.13
    See below for Flash Player version info
    Well I just updated to a new version of Firefox (3.6.13) and I had Flash Player 10.1 installed. Every time I open any web site with Flash content, Firefox crashes. This happens with Yahoo Mail, CNN, New York Times, etc. So I disabled Flash temporarily, and my Yahoo Mail no longer crashed. Of course I can't watch any online videos now....
    I tried uninstalling Flash Player 10.1 using the Adobe uninstaller, and then re-installing it. No go. I tried the beta 10.2... still crashed. Finally I found a version of Flash 9 for Mac on Adobe's web site, and that does indeed work. Of course it's an older version, but at least I can use Firefox. The bad news is that the plugin is used by Safari also.
    Any ideas?

    I tried something else for now, since I'm using Flash Player 9 on my main system hard drive at the moment....
    I have a bootable 48GB SSD in my ExpressCard slot. I often use it since it's faster. It has the same configuration of Firefox 3.6.13 and FlashPlayer 10.1, but it seems to have no problems. I right clicked a Flash animation and the hardware acceleration in on. Now why would it work on my SSD drive, but not my main hard drive?

  • HTML/javascript interaction with swf content - can I call swf functions from JS?

    Hi,
    I've created an AIR application where the
    intialWindow.content is a HTML page / JavaScript application. On
    this HTML page I want to include some SWF content as a plugin (a
    Flex 3 app), so I have an object tag.
    From my SWF I can call out to JavaScript using
    flash.external.ExternalInterface fine. I can also call methods
    within the AIR and Flex APIs via the window or runtime objects.
    However, if I try to call methods within my SWF from
    JavaScript, nothing happens. Further, I can pass a function
    reference from my SWF to JavaScript (via ExternalInterface), and
    while I can see a valid function reference in JavaScript, calling
    it doesn't call the function within the SWF.
    Is this not supported? Or is this something else, like an
    applicationDomain issue? My SWF object is loaded via the app:/ uri,
    so I didn't think it would be that.

    I hadn't tried that, and it does work. Thank you. Everyone
    should note though that the documentation here
    Flex
    3 - External Interface
    and
    Flash
    9 - ExternalInterface.html
    says:
    "Note: Adobe AIR currently does not support the
    ExternalInterface class."
    which by my reading means that none of this should work,
    although it clearly does.
    The page
    Example:
    Using the external API with a web page container was most
    helpful in finding the solution, since it mentions referencing the
    object id of the plugin (e.g.
    window['my-object-id'].functionToCall()) when referencing the
    callback function.
    This
    page has a more concise example.

  • Error message when attempting to publish page with flash content in cs6

    Good day,
    I have a number of websites that I have created with content from previous versions of flash that I have installed in my html pages.  This year I have been repeatedly frustrated by the flash movies working on my computer then not working after I have uploaded them.  It came to the point where I avoided working with the flash projects but it is something I have to work out and would greatly appreciate any help I could get.
    After not working with the movies for a few months I came back and attempted to edit them again, this time receiving the attached error message which may be the resolution to my problem.  The message says I cannot stream with the current settings.  This may make sense as the movies work fine on my computer.
    Any help would be a great kindness.
    Thanks

    this has the simple outdated flash file on it that I need to update
    http://www.missourimemorial.com/index2013.html
    this has the failed flash file in the page of course its not working.
    Please help - thanks 

    That alert is just to tell you that you have something in your movie's Library that is set to export for Actionscript. most likely in frame 1. This will cause your movie's download to wait until that object is downloaded to the user's computer. If there is more than one object with this setting, then all of those objects will need to download first before the movie can begin, or to stream.
    The problem of your your movie now showing up is completely different. It's impossible to tell where the problem is from looking at the html pages that you provided. The problem may be simple, you may not have the .swf in the proper folder, or the name may not coincide with the swfobject function that you are using.

  • 3 column page - how to make each full height of page, with variable content in each?

    Hi everyone. . . I'm a relatively unsophisticated page designer, and I appreciate if you excuse my lack of experience.  I'm putting together a page for a business.  The page has three columns, one of which would be considered to be the main body of the page. . . the one with all the important content.  The column on the left is for a navbar and some affiliate badges, and the column on the right will be for an image that describes for the viewer which page they're on. 
    The question I have is how to, when the content of the center column is very long, make the left and right column divtags extend all the way to the footer, with their borders and background colors, to make a clean page.  When the content of the center column is short, like a paragraph or two, the left divtag will have a minimum height due to the presence of the badges, but the right divtag is quite short.
    I uploaded a test page here: http://www.thermalifegroup.com/test/about_us.html
    Nevermind the visual appearance of the page. . . the spry widget is all over the place, but that's just because I uploaded a few files onto the server.  On my pc it's all copacetic and not an issue.  The code source is up there, so is the stylesheet. 
    I'm hoping I can just add a few attributes to the columns so that they automatically reach down to the bottom extents of the page.  Thanks for any advice you can throw my way.

  • Saved .htm pages with hover content stopped working

    Hi,
    I save some web pages for offline viewing. Some of them have content that shows up only '''when you hover''' over them. Examples would be *.wikia.com (navigations) and danbooru (ex. http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1675488?pool_id=8335). I save them by '''Web page, complete''' option. They used to work but I just found out that now they don't.
    I checked with IE and Chrome but found out that it stopped working there too. I tried using Firefox with add-ons disabled and reverted to older versions (30.0 & 24.0) but it's not working there anymore. I even restarted my PC. I thought maybe it was cache related by even newly saved pages don't work.
    I am sure they did work because I usually save my files as mhtml to avoid too much clutter but hover content doesn't work there. The last time I saw it working was on '''September 25, 2014'''.
    Thank you in advance.

    I have checked the offline wikia page you provided. All the images are there. All the js files are there. But some script works and some doesn't. Unfortunately it is impractical to debug the page to see where the failure occurred.
    If all your save pages are based on the same template, by which I mean only the pictures vary, but the pages are based on the same underlying mechanism, then it might be worthwhile to learn some simple scripting. It takes just a few lines of code to re-enable the functionality you want (btw, it is not hovering -- you have to actually click the thumbnail).
    However, if the pages differ a lot, then I am not aware of any practical way of achieving what you want except trying some of these plugins to see if they work better:
    [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2061311/firefox-plug-in-that-downloads-a-complete-webpage Firefox plug-in that downloads a complete webpage?]
    Or google and see if you can find more.
    Wikipedia is probably the most archaic website I use. Obviously, if even wikipedia doesn't save properly, as mentioned in cor-el's link, I don't think you can expect to have much luck with wikia. This is just to give you a realistic assessment of the difficulty level of what you are trying to accomplish.
    I used to think that my computer was the safest place to keep everything -- when I was using a dial-up connection. So I also carried out similar endeavors to preserve everything useful on my computer, just as what you are doing right now. I know how much work it takes, and I could never get things 100% correct, because webpages are generally not designed to be saved locally.
    Now I am sure most of the things on the internet will outlast my computer. And I have a broadband so everything is just one click away in firefox. So I am never bothering again.
    Sorry I wish I could help you more, but this is the best I can do. Good luck!
