Spry Colision with Flash Element

I have a Web page with a spry drop down that drops over a
flash element and works fine on Mac/Firefox, but displays
incorrectly on PC/IE. What can I do besides move the flash element?

  • Firefox wont make a new tab while i'm on a page with flash elements.

    Whenever i'm on a page with flash elements I cannot make a new tab by hitting Ctrl+T. though Ctrl+click on a link and selecting New Tab from the menue still works. if I have 2 tabs open and one with flash I can go the one without flash on the page and use Ctrl+T make a new tab.

    If a plugin has focus then that plugin handles all key presses, so you can't open a new tab via the keyboard unless you first set focus outside that Flash object.

  • Problem with flash element in Dreamweaver

    Hi, I am a little new to dreamweaver and am starting up a new
    site with a flash element. I have started this out and it works
    great on my computer when i preview it, but the flash element isn't
    showing up when I publish it. When it loads in the browser it says
    the page is "Done, but with errors" and when I click on that it
    tells me that the problem is in line 12 of my code which is:
    AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','
    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','wid th','1027','height','53','src','menubar','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe. com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','menubar'
    ); //end AC code
    I have also published the swf and the AC_RunActiveContent.js.
    I have published the site to
    http://www.sectiondesign.com/porcelain/porcelain.html
    any help would be great.
    Thanks a lot

    You page is looking for the JavaScript file at this location

    I also checked here:

  • Spry with Flash Video

    Is spry compatible with flash video?
    I used the Dreamweaver wizard to insert a flash video. I
    inserted it into a spry region and changed the source of the flash
    video to be:
    src="{link}"
    however, this does not work. I have tried several other
    javascript applications for embedding flash video files, but they
    do not work either.
    Is there a way to build a flv/ajax application?
    Thanks,
    Eric

    I may have found a resolution to your problem. I was having a
    similar problem where instead of the video displaying I would see
    the embedded source code appear. I found that I needed to declare
    the column type for my XML document and once I did the video
    appears correctly. Below is the code I used;
    var myvids = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("myvideos.xml",
    "videos/video",{sortOnLoad:"project",sortOrderOnLoad:"ascending"});
    myvids.setColumnType("flashlink", "html");

  • Insert PDF with Flash into another PDF and it does not display.

    When attempting to insert an Adobe Acrobat file with flash elements into another Adobe Acrobat file, the latter will not display the file on screen. Instead it shows this message "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later." Please help.

    Yes I would have thought so. Adobe Acrobat and Reader have the ability to view flash content items however this is not the case. I will explain step by step what I am doing. I have done this for years before and I have recently formatted my computer and had to reinstall the software.

    I still can't find a solution. Changing the parameter wmode:transparent works for .swf files but .flv files do not have the option to add this parameter. If you add it in the script manually it doesn't do anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I cn't find any solution online.

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

  • Grey boxes around my flash elements?

    I currently run a website that is set up with several flash
    elements butted up next to each other using tables (
    http://www.deltasoniccarwash.com).
    This method used to be fine. The tables were invisible to the user.
    With the latest update of internet explorer this is no longer the
    case for pc users. Now when my site is viewed in Explorer 7 (on a
    PC) grey boxes appear highlighting my table when a user scrolls
    over them. My flash rollovers do not work until a person clicks
    into the box. I've looked at several other flash sites and this
    problem is not seeming to affect them. Can someone please point out
    what I'm doing wrong. Thank You.

    Geez... two years now it's been like this and this question
    is _still_ being
    asked. Go figure... Just use SWFObject.

  • Display flash elements based on Coldfusion Query

    I would like to have my page display certain flash elements
    that are dictated by the html content on the main part of the page.
    The main content would come from a query that contains primary
    keys. Now, the question is, can I get flash to display the
    corollary ads based on the primary keys?
    What is the basic protocol for this type of integration? Can
    I do this with AS3 somehow? What is the best way to get flash to
    'listen' to the query and execute?
    This is also on the CF forums. Wasn't sure where to post
    exactly...

  • Attempting to create an interactive map with flash - getting errors with my actionscript

    I'm currently having an issue creating a set of buttons that are supposed to turn individual layers on and off.  The layers I have are: fishing spots, facilities, trails, map elements, an aerial photo, and parking lots.  It is giving error #s 1119 and 1120.  Could anyone explain possible reasons I'm getting these errors. 
    It might be worth mentioning that I used a tutorial made with Flash CS4, but I'm writing the code in CS5.  Here is the exact code I'm using:
    spots._visible = false;
    facilities._visible = false;
    parking._visible = false;
    elements._visible = true;
    aerial._visible = false;
    trails._visible = false;
    displayedSpots._visible = false;
    displayedFacs._visible = false;
    displayedTrails._visible = false;
    displayedEles._visible = true;
    displayedAerial._visible = false;
    displayedPark._visible = false;
    fsbtn.onPress = function() {
              if (spots._visible == false) {
                        spots._visible = true;
                        displayedSpots._visible = true;
              } else {
                        spots._visible = false;
                        displayedSpots._visible = false;
    facbtn.onPress = function() {
              if (facilities._visible == false) {
                        facilities._visible = true;
                        displayedFacs._visible = true;
              } else {
                        facilities._visible = false;
                        displayedFacs._visible = false;
    trbtn.onPress = function() {
              if (trails._visible == false) {
                        trails._visible = true;
                        displayedTrails._visible = true;
              } else {
                        trails._visible = false;
                        displayedTrails._visible = false;
    mebtn.onPress = function() {
              if (elements._visible == false) {
                        elements._visible = true;
                        displayedEles._visible = true;
              } else {
                        elements._visible = false;
                        displayedEles._visible = false;
    aebtn.onPress = function() {
              if (aerial._visible == false) {
                        aerial._visible = true;
                        displayedAerial._visible = true;
              } else {
                        aerial._visible = false;
                        displayedAerial._visible = false;
    pbtn.onPress = function() {
              if (parking._visible == false) {
                        parking._visible = true;
                        displayedPark._visible = true;
              } else {
                        parking._visible = false;
                        displayedPark._visible = false;

    Only thing i see is that you are using == instead of = , Fixed Example...
    fsbtn.onPress = function() {
              if (spots._visible = false) {
                        spots._visible = true;
                        displayedSpots._visible = true;
              } else {
                        spots._visible = false;
                        displayedSpots._visible = false;
    == Is used for equality.
    = Is used for setting a value or in this case checking a value.

  • Web Browser Flash Elements

    Maybe I'm asking way too much of poor old OS 9. But if I could fix this issue, OS 9 would be SO much more useful for me...
    There are some websites that simply cause Mozilla to crash and burn. (Including Mozilla 1.3.1, WaMCom Mozilla 1.3.1, and Netscape 7.02. Given that all three of these browsers seem to share the same basic binaries, they all seem to sorta crash on some websites no matter what I do.)
    An example is usaa.com. One I log in and try browsing through the site, Mozilla/Netscape will show the "watch" cursor, and the system will be unresponsive until I force-quit and reboot the computer.
    My first course of action was to troubleshoot Java. I used to have Mac Runtime for Java version 2.2.5, but decided to update it to version 2.2.6 -- no change.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Shockwave Flash NP-PPC version 7.0 r73 -- no change.
    I have fudged around with the preferences in Mozilla and Netscape, even dumped the preference file and started from scratch -- no change.
    I took an alternate approach and tried using iCab version 3.0.5. iCab works OK, but anytime there is a flash element, the web page just says "loading" with the spinning gear on that particular flash element, and never really loads anything. iCab will load YouTube videos fine, but if I log in to usaa.com, it says "loading" infinitely with that spinning gear. Also, if I try using facebook.com, and I "ignore" or "accept" various invitations, it will also hang on "loading" that web page element forever and ever....
    Another issue is that Mozilla and iCab both let me log in to me.com (holy cow, yes it did.) But, I am having the same issue as above, in that it usually causes Mozilla/Netscape to crash, and/or it causes iCab to hang on "loading" with that darn spinning gear in the web page.
    So I was wondering if anyone here happens to use these websites on a regular basis with OS 9, and if so, what the best ways are to navigate through them? Am I missing something?
    I can boot to Tiger just fine, but I would love to get OS 9 to do the job, too.

    I do most of my internet tasks (forums, info surfing, weather, financial, etc.) using Mozilla 1.3.1 with OS 9.2.2. But I experience some of the same problems you have. Some sites require a Flash version higher than v7 (max for OS 9). Some sites just don't render properly. I can't access my American Express site for bill pay. I think java incompatibilities is a problem. But I still get freezes sometimes & have to force quit. I have allocated about 10X more memory to Mozilla, but still ge the freeze. Mozilla, like a lot of browsers suffers from memory creep when you've on-line for a long time. I think this large memory reqmt also causes the freeze.
    For example, check the amount of memory (click on About this Computer under the Apple menu) for Mozilla when you first open it. Then after you have been on-line for a while, check it again.
    Both Mozilla & Netscape are over 5 years old. Most web designers will/should check their HTML designs for proper page rendering using the current PC & Mac web browsers. But Mozilla & Netscape are too old; and Internet explorer from that era is worse.
    When I'm booted in Tiger I use Firefox to view the OS 9 problem sites &pay my AE bill. Even Mac users with Safari/Panther have problems with some sites.

  • Flash element over html

    I'm trying to create something similar like on this site
    http://www.mitsubishimotors.com/MMNA/jsp/index.do
    there are 2 flash element on this page the top big image and
    the bottom image slide show. My question is when you rollover on an
    image on the slide show, the image extends up. How can we do that?
    the slide show which is a flash element is about 150px height but
    when we rollover it it's about 300px height. Do they use layers in
    html? Is there any tutorial for that?

    Getting a step-by-step understanding of what is done in Flash
    is a major
    undertaking that I would not have the time or patience for.
    If you want to
    duplicate this complex Flash site, much good luck to you.
    The site makes use of no less than ten external actionScript
    files (*.as.)
    to load, manage, and unload a variety of content.
    The "apparent" gap between the "upper" and "lower" Flash
    elements is no gap
    at all in my opinion. Per the html of the containing page,
    the window-mode
    is set to transparent, making it seem to be two elements with
    that "gap"
    being a transparent area of a single Flash movie. all Flash
    is rendered over
    or on top of the HTML, a quasi layers sort of thing.
    The slide show is 226 pixels tall with initial content 113
    pixels tall
    appearing in the bottom and expanding upward upon the
    mouseOver event.

  • Firefox hangs on all sites with flash content.

    Firefox hangs on all sites with flash content. If I disable the flash plugin there is no hanging but obviously no flash content either. I have tried all the suggested actions found in the help sections for hanging and plugin problems. The Honda UK site listed below is one of many I am unable to access with flash enabled.

    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?

  • Unable to interact with Flash content when running Firefox with restricted user

    When running Firefox with limited Windows user on Windows XP the Flash elements are displayed, the content that is set to auto-play does so even, but the flash area doesn't receive any mouse input: e.g. when I right click in the area instead of the flash context menu I get the browser context menu as if the flash plug-in wasn't even there. The exact same page on the exact same computer but with Administrator user works as expected: can press buttons, interact with flash controls and the context menu upon right-click is of course the flash one. This behavior occurs even if I disable all add-ons.

    Try uninstalling your sound card driver in Device Manager and reboot your PC.

  • [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?
