Resizable Flash in iWeb

Hi,
Is it possible to make the flash resizable in iWeb?
I published a resizable flash movie into a folder. It works fine when I preview it in the flashmovie.html. But then I embedded it into iWeb using the html snippet and it does not resize.
Please help. Thanks!

A Google search for "code to embed flash" found this: http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=codeto+embed+flashcontent&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Flash in iWeb- a white square flashes before video loads......

hey there- i am trying to put flash into iweb. It works, using code from iWebunlimited, but there is a white box that flashes before the video loads... I've tried so many different encoders, iweb code, etc..
see it here:
http://web.me.com/misterscott
Any idea as to what is causing the white flash before the video?
thanks so much......!!

i am trying to put flash into iweb
You succeeded as far as I could determine.
Anyway. The browser needs to download the files, puts them into place and render the lot.
That takes some time.
Also, every brand of browser has its way of doing that.
And black and white on a page is the largest contrast you can imagine. Use less contrasting colors.

Resizing flash in safari

Hi,
I deal with a lot of dynamic data at my company, so we
generally fill up the flash and then resize the rest of the
movieclip to what we need using javascript. I use swfobject to
embed my flash files. Anyhow, this was never a problem until I
started supporting safari, and there's very little on the web
regarding it. I've found this little tidbit of information
regarding safari
http://www.beyondstandards.com/archives/dynamically-resizing-flash-objects-with-js/
- but haven't gotten much farther. The author states that you need
to resize both the object that contains the embed and the actual
embed object as well. However, I'm having a tough time finding that
information using the swfobject to embed the swf. Does anyone know
the safari DOM well enough or had experience resizing flash objects
in safari? Any help at all would be appreciated.
Thanks
Robert

ClickToPlugin & ClickToFlash Safari extensions offer HTML5 versions of Flash & other videos wherever they're available, including much of Youtube, but not Wimp.com. They can be set to open automatically, or require clicking for the media to play. Flash adverts & other content doesn't always have an HTML5 version, so you'll miss many adverts/games unless you click, or whitelist the site. Streetview on Google maps also requires it, but again, easily whitelisted.
Mavericks ( & possibly Safari 6.1 ) looks likely to have something similar built in.
If a website only has Flash versions of their games/videos - you'll need Flash... although some can be coaxed into providing HTML5 if they think you're uisng a mobile device, by changing Safari's user agent in the Develop menu. Then, say wimp.com, will provide m.wimp.com with non-Flash versions.

Embedding Adobe Lightroom 3 flash gallery iweb 09

First things first...
I'm a non .MAC user, currently hosting with Host Gator.
Need exact step by step for getting my flash gallery to work on a particular iweb page. I created a folder called "flash" in my hosts servers root directory, then published the gallery out of Lightroom 3) to my host server, as mentioned above. The flash gallery files are now inside the flash folder.
I have applied the HTML widget on the page I wish to display the gallery using this code...
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase=" http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0, 0" width="550" height="400" align="middle"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.yoursite.com/flash/myflashfile.swf"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"> <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" width="550" height="400" align="middle" src="http://www.yoursite.com/flash/myflashfile.swf" allowScriptAccess="always"></embed></object>
I am unable to wrap my head around this stuff. I followed this tip http://iwebunlimited.com/iweb-tips/tip-1-flash-in-iweb/
So lost!
Please let me know if any further details are required from this end.
Thanks

I think I see your problem.
Your file is not a stand alone swf file.
Lightroom creates a folder containing an index.html file and two sub folders.
What you actually need to do is address the index.html file.
You could either create a link to that file and have it open a new page or use the folling code to produce an "Iframe" and load the page into the iframe.
Below is the code. The link is to a lightroom folder I created as a sample.
Change that to the proper address and it should work. If you apply it in Iweb you should see the result without having to publish.
I played around with the width and height size to try to get an appropriate size.
Change them if needed.
If that's too small the link solution is the only other option I'm aware of.
Hope the helps.
Good Luck

Resizing Flash Movie to Size of Site

I am developing a html Web site with a flash intro
and need help because I am learning all over again, not having done
it in 3 years.
The screen is to start out white and fade to silver, which I
did quite nicely after many frustrating moments of relearning and
conditioning and realized it was quite simple. The movie is 600x400
and I developed the site at 1028x768 with my html layer for the
site at: <div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; left:125px;
top:7px; width:686px; height:623px; z-index:1">. The flash movie
layer is: <div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; left:128px;
top:-68px; width:602px; height:424px; z-index:1"> which I
changed to the html one and it did not work.
Then I went back to Flash and tried to change the movie size.
Well that was a trip. The stage is somehow off center to the right
and when I used the hand to move it, it did not work
Anyway, what I am trying to do is start the page off with a
white background full screen and have the flash movie start out as
white with a black dot and then fade to silver until the dot turns
into the logo. The flash movie does this, but I can't figure out
how to put it on the first page so when viewed the user will only
see the movie and not the movie with a white background. Also can't
figure what glitched when I was playing with it to get the stage
off centered.
If you want to see the movie, I can show you and please no
jokes because the item my friend is selling is a bit different but
highly used
Thank you in advance...StarShine

Am I missing something or your long story has nothing to do
with "Resizing Flash Movie to Size of Site"?
If you want your flash file to be displayed full
size in browser window try setting the "width" and "height"
parameters in "object" and "embed" tag to "100%".

I have to agree with Ken. Even if you manage to get Flash into the page background (no small feat) people won't be able to interact with it. That's usability problem #1.
#2 Flash is a dead web technology because the world's most popular mobile & tablet devices cannot see Flash content. So you're alienating a lot of people before you've even begun.
Depending on what your Flash file contains, you might want to switch to a responsive jQuery image slider like the ones below.

Or, use Adobe Edge Animate instead of Flash. Edge Animate outputs to HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript which are supported by all modern devices except IE8 and earlier. For tips on making Edge Animations adapt to screen size, see the following link.

Needed: flash on iWeb '08 for dummies

I am a dummy when in comes to code. I understand that iWeb '08 uses "HML Snippets" and by using them, you can add flash movies (.flv or .swf) to your iWeb '08 created site.
What I (and apparently many other dummies) need is a step by step set of instructions on how to modifiy an HTML template and where to put the flash files to get them to work.
<http://web.mac.com/wyodor/Embed_Media/Embed.html> provides useful HTML templates, but they leave many unanswered questions that dummies, like me, have no clue about. Here is the template for .flv files with my questions in CAPITALS.
Object for Flash movies with player.
The outer object is for Safari.
The inner object is for Firefox/Camino.
This sample uses a Flash player. There are several Flash players around you can use.

IF YOU INCLUDE THE FLASH MOVIE IN THE iWEB FILES FOR THAT PAGE, IS THERE A WAY TO INDICATE THAT THE PATH TO THEM IS SHORTER THAN THE WHOLE HTTP//...?
I have read all the postings and gone to all the sites and attempted doing what they seem to say and I am still having no luck. I hope someone will take the time to explain to dummies like me how to do this. I used iWeb because I thought it would be simple.

Flash in iWeb

Hello guys,

Flash in iWeb 09

Hi all,
I'm pretty new to everything related to web-publishing, and have been having a go at iWeb 09. My problem is as follows:
I have created a simple slideshow in Adobe Flash CS4. When publishing out of Adobe Flash, it will create a few files; the flash file and a HTML file on a folder on my hard drive. Now; how can I get this on my iWeb website?? I think I would need to use the HTML widget, but I have no experience in HTML programming. When dragging and dropping, it just converts the file name in a text box. I did try to open the HTML file using Taco and then pasting the code into the HTML Widget. iWeb then creates a white box, but no movie/slideshow can be seen. I guess it somehow needs to link to the flash file, but I do not know how....
Is there an easy way of doing so? And if there is no easy way, is there a complex way that somebody can explain in easy steps?
Many thanks for your help!!!
Btw: I am publishing to an external FTP Server (not a .mac account).

Code to resize flash content based on screen dimmensions? Already encountered problems.

Ok Guys-
So I have put up a trial of my flash website-
www.nicksdesign.com/flash
I'm new at flash- as this is the first project I've done in
flash, and the problem is...
I put the file in a simple HTML file in dreamweaver, and i
published the files, tested them on my computer, and it's great-
the size fits enough so that no scrolling is needed.
However-
I asked a friend to test it- and on his computer you are
required to scroll both vertically and horizontally in order to see
all the content on the 100% flash website.
My question-
Are there any codes that can resize the swf file or the HTML,
based on screen resolution/browser [however- we tested in the same
browser]
Any help would be SUPER appreciated
Best Regards,
Nick Smith

Hi Gorka, thanks for your post! Here is my problem in as
small a nutshell as I can manage! The site I'm creating depends a
lot on animation of characters around the screen so this all has to
be done in flash, I drew the Frame of the site in Flash and a lot
of the buttons etc will be flash although I have to use some jpegs
as buttons on the top of the site as well as a lot of other bitmaps
(product shots etc.) in the content welI. I had to reduce them (and
size all the other bitmap elements) in photoshop to exactly the
size they will appear in the content well in flash. Even the jpeg
buttons I created, I had to output two different sized versions of
the same image for each button, as if I enlarge the image even
slightly in flash for a rollover state, it looks awful.. now it
looks great but the resulting swf is huge! My main concern at the
moment as I said, is what way I can output the swf so that it will
fit perfectly into any browser window without having to scroll, and
keep the quality of all the bitmap elements, and the client is also
worried about having huge areas of white space around the frame of
the site. I'm very interested to know more about the 'stage class'
you mentioned, i haven't come across this before, just before I got
your message, I had found a link to this page:
http://forums.ultrashock.com/ff.htm?http://forums.ultrashock.com/forums/showthread.php?s=& threadid=83535
is this what you were talking about? Your offer of help is
greatly appreciated, if you can help me understand what needs to be
done I'll be eternally grateful! Thanks, Eoin.

Get border when resizing flash anim in dreamweaver

Hello, I'm needing some help , I'm not sure weather its something i'm doing in dreamweaver or weather I need to export the flash anim with the document properties just a little bit smaller than the flash anim when exporting when in theory shouldn't have to do?
the problem I'm having is I export a flash anim out of flash I make sure the document properties and the flash anim line up so theres no visible boarder when exiting.
when I'm at the button stage and drag onto the stage to be able to export, ( sometimes I find that the flash border - say if my anim is 220 by 185 . when i click on it (dragged button with movie inside from libarary to stage)
the stage - as I am told I can't export a flash anim with an alpha white off the flash stage I have to make the stage the same size as the button -
So i make the stage size 220 by 185 when I'm dragging the button to line up to the stage I find sometimes its off?
Is there a better way to export a flash anim as it is without having to change stage properties then dragging the button to fit the stage then get url options ect.
anyways. I am finding that I am having to make the stage size (in flash ) a few extra pixels smaller than the box button 220 by 185 so what i'm doing is making the stage say 218 by 183 to then draggin the button inbetween the lines on the doccument border in flash. then exporting.
I find if i Don't do this sometimes in dreamweaver, when I open dreamweaver instert app div then import swf into the app dif then resize the swf I get a boarder.
But even then I find sometimes if i do an app div then insert media swf and resize the swf i get a border, say if i make the boarder properties in flash red.
sometimes I get a red boarder.
but on other pages say i have a about page I resized it its fine then on another page import app dive then impor the exact same swf file resize it it suddenly gets a boarder (i'm testing using red backround in flash when exporting as a movie.
why do sometimes I get a boarder around swf in an app div when importing into dreamweaver.
thanks kindly

I read this twice and still don't quite know what you're asking. Flash questions are best posted in the Flash forum.
Animations used in Web pages should be sized appropriately before you bring them into Dreamweaver. Same goes for static images. If you need a 200px wide banner, design it at 200px wide.
As for APDivs, honestly don't know why you would need one. A regular CSS division (no positioning) is all that's required for 98% of layouts. http://apptools.com/examples/pagelayout101.php
For answers to layout questions, we need a link to your test page.

HMTL & Flash on iWeb

I wanted to find out if anyone knew how to put HTML code and/or Flash media into the iWeb templates? I'm NOT any sort of computer expert but I'm in a band and needed an easy program to get my band's website up and running. Since that time, iWeb has worked great for me but I've also been able to convert some of the file (music, images, etc.) to HTML code AND I'm looking to get a Flash media program for the website as well.
If this CAN'T be done, can anyone tell me how to AT least get a music/media player on to the iWeb template? If you go to www.alterbridge.com, that band has a media player on there and I wanted to at least do something like that. Thanks.
