Removing border around Flash content

I really cant stand what adobe has done to the flash player.
They totally messed it up.
My question is how do I remove the box/boarder that the new
flash player puts around flash content.
Go to a site with flash content, once there hover your mouse
over the content, you will notice a box/boarder around the content
now.
HOW DO I REMOVE THIS, so freaking annoying!
Just leave Flash how it was Adobe.
Good to see how you come and take over macromedia, and then
you jack with thier software making it a total annoyance.
Tell me how to turn this boarder crap off.

You really are shooting off obviously without having read any
of the
hundreds of news reports on this in the last couple of months
.. nor the
hundreds of forum posts here. Do a little research before you
start
mouthing off about what adobe has done .. otherwise you are
just looking
very foolish.
Adobe has done nothing here. Microsoft have been forced as a
result of
EOLAS suing them to change how IE works with all embedded
ActiveX controls
(including Flash).
It is up to web site authors to change their HTML so the
flash content
doesn't need to be activated.
There is nothing you can do about it, nor adobe, nor
Microsoft.
You can temporarily do something about it be going to MS site
and
downloading a patch that turns off this new behaviour for a
month or two
(its only a temporary fix).
If you are a web site author, then see the many posts in the
flash general
discussion about what you should do .. in particular look at

Border around Flash content in Firefox 7.01

I notice that any Flash content I create inside a Dreamweaver,html page results in a dotted border around the flash object when clicked. I cannot be the only one seeing this. I also have Safari which the content shows up fine. I thought it may have benn my css page but I also imported a flash swf directly to an blank .html page and that is my result
Is this an html or Flash problem?
anyone?
rd

This is an html/css matter. I think it involves setting an 'outline' style to '0' or 'none' though I can't rememebr for sure. Try Googling "CSS remove outline"... here's one result from that search that looks like it includes a section for Flash.

outline:none;

When I insert my Flash file (.swf) into my Dreamweaver page,
Dreamweaver inserts a thin white border around the flash video. I
have tried several potential solutions I have seen but none of them

Removing border around image with link

I know this is really basic but I can't find anywhere how to
avoid having a purple border around a linked image. Help
please!

Nope. Not if you want valid XHTML.
CSS does the trick -
a img { border:none; }
*and* you don't have to add it to each individual <img>
tag.

Border around flash movies?

I just noticed this morning that now my flash movies have a
border around them and I have to click on the movie to activate
them. If I hover my mouse over it, it says "Click to activate and
use this control".
I think Microsoft updated something last night that causes
this. I have win xp sp2

Border around flash objects in Firefox

Hello,
   I have a swf object inside a table, everything is perfect when I look at my work in IE but when I use Firefox, a white border apears around the swf object, this is annoying because this border breaks my graphos design for the webpage...
   I've already tried using padding, margin, border, outline set to 0 -or none- for both, the swf object and the table and the border doesn't go away... Also, I've tried changing the swf params for scale and wmode value and nothing happens :s
   This is the code (yes, is the one that dreamweaver writes when you add any flash object):
   <td height="295" class="noBorders"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="780" height="295" class="noBorders" id="FlashID" title="X">
      <param name="movie" value="flash/fotos.swf" />
      <param name="quality" value="high" />
      <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
      <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
      
      <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
      <param name="BGCOLOR" value="#00FF00" />
      <param name="SCALE" value="exactfit" />
      
      
      <object data="flash/fotos.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="780" height="295">
      
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
        <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
        <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
        <param name="BGCOLOR" value="#00FF00" />
        <param name="SCALE" value="exactfit" />
        
        <div>
          <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
          <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
        </div>
        
      </object>
      
    </object></td>
If I erase the dreamweaver<object data...> code (the orange one) the problem solves but the swf object doesn't appears in IE...Obviously I don't want to erase any of this dreamweaver code because it's there for something
I want my page to be looking good in any browser, what can I do? please help!!!!!
Thanks

Thanks...
   I don't think is the swf file because the issue only happens in Firefox :s
   Anyway, I think I've fixed the problem, instead of using a table for the two swf (the photo and the menu), i used 2 <div>s... I'm not sure is the correct way of designing it (mixin tables and divs) but its working now
   Thanks again

Remove box around flash when rollover

Does anyone know how to remove the white box inside a browser
(in my case Internet Explorer) that appears around a flash area
when your mouse rolls over into the flash area? What I've noticed
is that on some websites this actually does not happen and on other
websites it does. Is it something I can control as a flash
designer? In other words, is there a setting or something that
turns off this white box area from showing up on a mouse roll over?
Any tips or help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much,
Tony

Annoying dotted border around flash objects...

Hey. In the past few months I've noticed every time I have a
flash object on my browser, it's surrounded by a dotted border that
causes me to have to first press on the flash object - and only
then be able to use it.
So, for example, if the flash object is a
menu, I first have to click inside the flash object, and
then the border goes off and the flash is "activated".
Does anyone have any idea what causes this and how can I make
it go away?
Thank you! :)

> I was referring to this annoying dotted box I got around
the flash before
> I
> could use it.
That's what we have been talking about .. all due to the
stupid greed EOLAS
and its patent .. there's been hundreds and thousands of post
and web
sites.

Unwanted border around flash movie

Though I found that this problem is quite common and can have
different causes, I still couldn't resolve my own case.
I have several flash animations embedded in a table and the
one that has a rollover-action shows an unwanted border in Firefox
and in Internet Explorer. The borders are all set to 0, the
vertical and horizontal spacing of the <object>-tag is set to
0, too but no matter what else I tried it just doesn't work. The
animation does not show these borders when I test-compile it in
Flash, so I guess it could have something to do with the way
Dreamweaver embeds it in the HTML-file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

no worries - i access forum through the newsgroup - i dont
see any web features. also - when
searching, the web forum search ain't that great - always
better to use:
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search?q=group:*flash*&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
it is entire archive of this forum - probably the best way to
learn anything about flash
hope this helps.

Is it possible to disable the dotted border around flash elements that show up when you interact with them? It looks horrible and it shows up everywhere.

I understand that this is somehow related to accessability of the web but shouldn't it be an option in the preference panel?
No other browsers behaves like this.

It did this and it worked for me. It requires the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish extension].
Create a new rule with this:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
object, embed {
outline: none !important;
Links still have outlines around them, but thankfully Flash objects no longer do! Hurray!

Problem with white border around flash

if you go to www.brokenflash.com in a firefox browser and
click on any of the three buttons in the top right, or any of the
buttons at the bottom of the page, you get a white box once you
click. It still navigates on a single click, it just shows up right
after you click. I don't seem to have the problem in IE or Google
Chrome. Can anyone tell me how to remedy this? I did a search on
the forum, and so far, I haven't found a remedy. I'm going to
continue to look through the search items, but this is my first
website, so I am still fairly new at this(just a warning in case
you planned on using highly technical jargon).

I am not sure I quite follow you. You don't -- by any chance
-- mean the
mouse over state (shown when the mouse pointer is above the
button) of
those buttons, do you? I see no white boxes having clicked on
any of the
buttons (because the site loads a different page then).
Wait -- are you using Internet Explorer to view web pages?

Mentioning one's experience level within a forum posting is
usually a
good idea and helps others to help you.

Remove Black Border Around Embedded Flash Video

Hi-
I have searched on the Web without luck, so again I have to
turn tot he forum for help. I believe this should be simple and
straightforward, but doesn't appear so. I have a simple little
Flash video embedded in a plain old web page created with DW8. When
the page is displayed in my web browser it has a thin black border
around the video. I would like to remove this border (such as one
might with image border=0). I have tried several "fixes" ranging
from setting the BODY margin height to 0 to altering my external
style sheet. None of these worked. I even created a fresh web page
with no external style sheet at all and the border is still there.
How on earth do I get rid of that ugly thing? Any help is greatly
appreciated.
-=SB

can we see this border? URL?

Why there is a border around the flash movies?

I have a homepage with an embedded flash .swf object. It is
perfect when viewed with IE/ flash player 8 in Win2000 environment,
but when it is viewed with IE/flash player 8 in WinXP environment,
there is a border around the flash .swf object when the mouse
cursor in over the object. The border makes the page disgraceful.
Is there any method to get rid of the border without clicking the
mouse? Grateful if anyone can help.

just search the forum or google for "active content" - this
has been international front page news
for weeks as it stems from a Eolas/Microsoft patent lawsuit -
it has been discussed here everyday
since the lawsuit was decided in favor of Eolas - google
returns millions of returns - you should
have little problem finding out what it is, why and how to
incorporate a work-around to suit your neds.

Flash content has dotted border after upgrading to Firefox 6.

Since upgrading to Firefox 6 (now 6.0.2), interaction (ie: using buttons) with Flash content creates a dotted border around the movie. This does not occur with Google Chrome, Safari, or even Opera. Normally, this flash-based version of my site requires no CSS, but I did try to link the page to a stylesheet with the tag { outline: none; } , but this had no effect. I also restarted Firefox in safe mode, but the problem persists.

Flash does not appear in the plugins list. It works fine in other browsers. /Library/Internet plug-ins/Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt exist. I can't find the flash plugin elsewhere (profile/plugins, in the App package)
I created a new profile to test if the profile was at fault. The plugin still did not load. Firefox finds the plugin but in [profile]/pluginreg.dat it adds it under [INVALID]:
[INVALID]
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin:$
1315562441000:$
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/flashplayer.xpt:$
1314065602000:$
