Spry horizontal navigation element covers flash element...

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.

Spry Horizontal Navigation Bar

A horizontal navigation bar was created using Spry in CS3.
The navigation bar needs to be lengthened.
Does anyone know how to lengthen it so it spreads across the
page?

Hello,
Can you post an URL?
It's easier to tell you exactly what you might need to do.
For example, it's a bit different if the nav bar is in a
container with a
width or not contained.
Take care,
Tim

How do I make the menu title a different color when it is the active menu in Spry horizontal menu?

How do I make the menu title a different color when it is the active menu in Spry horizontal menu?
Dreamweaver CS5.5
Apple OS X.6.8
View site at: http://dorsay-easton-indian-law.com/staging/index.html
Steps:
1. Click link to land on Home page
2. View Home link in Spry horizontal navigation menu
Actual:
Home menu title is the same color as all of the others.
Expected:
The title of the active menu is color: #FFC.
I was hoping that a:active would give me this functionality, but that's not how it is described. Any suggestions are welcome!

Nothing I have tried in the template makes the BODY tag editable. That's why I'm wondering how to disconnect the template from the individual pages. Adding an ID to each body tag is a prerequisite of the how-to page you supplied.
You don't make the <body> tag editable in a Template.
You make attributes of the <body> tag editable.
Don't disconnect the Template from the child pages.
Specify editable tag attributes in a template
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WScbb6b82af5544594822510a94ae8d65-7aa3a.h tml
In the Template:
Select the <body> tag (either in the Tag selector or click inside the <body> tag in Code View)
Modify > Templates > Make Attribute Editable
Select ID from the Attribute dropdown menu
If there's no existing ID attribute then click Add and type ID into the next dialogue box
Attribute: ID
Check the box to "Make attribute editable"
Enter anything into the Label field as a default e.g. foo
OK
Dreamweaver will change the <body> tag to read <body id="@@(foo)@@"....
Now the ID is editable
Save the Template and update the child page
In each child page:
Modify > Template Properties
Select the id attribute from the list (it's probably the only one listed)
Change its name in the box to whatever name matches your CSS rule for the active state for that page
OK
Save

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.
Thanks,

Spry navbar position with other page elements.

2 questions on positioning a horizontal navbar with other page elements.
1.) I replaced a standard horizontal navbar with a spry horizontal bar.
Below the navbar is a simple image div- centering an image on the page.
The image is placed with auto margins r/l to stay centered.
After I replaced the standard navbar with the Spry navbar, the centered image now appears to the right.
What I want is the original design- the Spry navbar to be positioned above the image, drop down menu items can appear over the centered image.
My edited Spry page is not live until it works correctly- the original page without the new menu bar is here- michael-davidson.com)
2.) My plan is to keep the navbar on all my pages- so I'll set it up in a template.
Many of my pages wil consist of simpleviewer galleries- like this; simpleviewer gallery- will it work to put a drop down above the gallery?
Will there be a problem having the Spry navbar drop down over the simpleviewer gallery?
thank you.
btw- I did search for the answer to this positioning question, but could not find it. If there is a guide for positioning a Spry navbar, I'd love to read it!
thank you

I may have missed it, but I didn't see any style rule that positions your div#navbar. I may be wrong, but it seems to me that if you don't style the div, it will sit on the left of your page.
When you put Spry Menubars above Flash elements, Flash will as a rule put itself in front of other elements.
Try changing this:
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','632','height','238','src','home-flash','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','home-flash' ); //end AC code

Clicking FLASH elements in the Web Browser

The website that I am working on has numerous FLASH elements
in it and I was wondering if there is anyway to make it so that
users browsing the site with Internet Explorer do not have to click
on the FLASH elements before navigating the site. Any help or

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:

Hi,
The issue here is the mapping of the interface to the service in question, and usually points to a possible mistype or rename of something within your service architecture.
You need to make sure your namespace and service name here match your service name itself.

Flash element - change pointer from arrow to hand in Director

Hi everyone,
I build a pop-up box in flash that I want to use in Director.
It is sort of a tab, that hides in a corner of the screen and when
the user rolls over it, it slides out showing some buttons. How can
I tell director to change the pointer into a hand when the user
rolls over the buttons inside my flash element (not when it rolls
on the tab itself)? Also, can I code these buttons to open PDF
documents from Director, even thou it was made in flash... if so,
how?
Thank you for your help!
Rafael.

> How can I tell director to change the pointer
> into a hand when the user rolls over the buttons inside
my flash element (not
> when it rolls on the tab itself)?
Check the docs for 'hitTest' and/or 'mouseOverButton', or
alter the
Flash file so that it tells Director to change the cursor whn
appropriate.
> Also, can I code these buttons to open PDF
> documents from Director, even thou it was made in
flash... if so, how?
Either use 'setCallback', or add some AS to your Flash file
telling
Director what to do.
getURL("lingo: mHandler");
will call the handler #mHandler in a #movie script, while
getURL("event: mHandler);
will call the handler #mHandler in a score script attached to
the Flash
sprite

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.

F9 on mac to show flash elements

Hi
I just bought an extention and here I have to add some info
on the flahs.
To do this it says that I have to press F9 to get Flash
elements up. First I have to click on the flash itself and then
press F9. But on a mac I cannot seem to make this happened.
How do I do this???

F9 on Windows opens the Tag Inspector. So try from the top
menu: Window -> Tag Inspector.

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...
Thanks in advance

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.
 Cheers, Tom
