Transparent Menu in flash export - Solved

When I build a flash project the menu is transparent. I can mouse over where the buttons should be and I get the pointing cursor and even click and play a chapter.
I cleaned the Media Cache and every thing worked. I didn't even have to re-encode.

Well it's happening again, and cleaning the cache is not working now. It happens after I make changes to to menu and re_package as a flashdvd. It's not copying all the .png files from the source folder, and if I copy the missing files it still doen't work.

  • Flash Export Uploading

    I created an entire DVD in Flash and it works as expected locally. I uploaded to the website for items: the Sources folder, the FlashDVD.swf file, the AuthoredContent.xml file and the index.html file. Nothing plays and it's because the paths are wrong so I edited them to what I expect them to be. Now I can see the main menu but the buttons do not work. Anyone have this problem and know how to fix it?

    Be sure not to change any of the directory structure from the way Encore exported it. Unless you have Flash and you open the SWF file in there, you can't change all the hooks/links that were set up during Flash export.
    Copy the folder in its entirety without change to your site and see if that doesn't solve your problem.
    Good luck!

  • CS6 flash exports use 1 motion transition for all instances?

    I'm using Encore CS6 OSX10.8.4.  I have 1 main menu, 1 sub menu, 2 simple motion transitions.  One to the sub menu and one back to main.  Both only 1 second long created in AE 5.5 rendered as .mov files.
    Everything looks good in the preview option.  Exported to DVD and everything works fine.  Export to flash and it plays only one motion transition in both cases. 
    I tried replacing the referenced motion video that was not recognized another and the same results.  Happens in both FLV and F4V exports. 
    Any ideas on how to correct this?  There are no special characters in my project file asset names.  Tried it in chrome and firefox. Redid a new Encore file and same outcome.
    I wan to use flash export to keep higher resolution than SD so I can take a screen video of navigating through the menus and use that high res video as part of a portfolio for a potentical job.
    Any Help is much appreciated

    There are some limitations to flash export, but I don't recall this coming up. No time to test at the moment.

  • Two Flash export errors

    I've only recently started using Encore and am enjoying it so far.  The slide show feature appears to be a bit buggy, but the Flash export feature looked interesting so I gave that a try.  Creating the flash export was easy, but there were two errors in the code it generates.
    In index.htm I had to edit the parts shown the bold in the line-
    Original:
    <div style="border: 4px solid #000; width: 640px; height: 480px;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="960" height="540" id="flashdvd" align="middle">
    Changed:
    <div style="border: 4px solid #000; width: 960px; height: 540px;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="960" height="540" id="flashdvd" align="middle">
    I was exporting as a 960x540 video.  Before the change the video was displayed right of center.  After, it was centered.  In the preview of the template the video was centered.
    Also, the three png files in the Sources folder had to be renamed to remove the space in the file name.  I was not able to upload those files to my web server.  I had to change the references to those files in the AuthoredContent.xml file.
    Anyway, you may have the same problem, and maye the right people will see this and fix it.

    Hey Neil,
    Thanks for replying. When I author DVD's, I use the basic encoding standards you listed above.
    In this case, since the output is not written media, I was encoding in a way that would give me the best possible results (in theory at least) when planning on flv being the final encoded output, where lowest possible file size with best possible quality is the goal (since it's home will be on the web, not a DVD).
    As for my issue with the errors generated from the Export to Flash option, I have learned some things, and was able to successfully Export to Flash.
    One thing is that apparently the Flash encoder that EncoreDVD CS3 uses is not the same as the Adobe Flash CS3 Video Encoder or whatever Flash encoding engine Premiere uses. Encore's Flash output settings are limited, and so are the results.
    What I had to do was export my PP CS3 projects to Flash using Adobe Media Encoder and update the XML that Encore spits out accordingly to point to my newly encoded flv's, replacing the flv's that Encore created... not a big deal, but one extra step and little more waiting time.
    Now, the results are stunning! And since I'm not comfortable in Flash CS3 or coding ActionScript, having Encore create the menu interface, with all the navigation and interactivity and such, for me was a big BIG plus!

  • Rollover menu in Flash Catalyst

    Hi, I want to make a rollover menu in Flash Catalyst. That means, that I have a "select language" PSD and a "German and Enlish" PSD. When I transform the "Select language" PSD into a Button and put the second graphic into the state "over", then the menu opens like it should do. But now i can't transform the "German" and "English" text into a button cause I can't make a button inside an other button. I hope you can understand...(:
    Hope you know a way to make this rollover! (-: Sorry for my English!
    Hallo, ich würde gerne ein Rollovermenü in Flash Catalyst machen.  D.h. ich habe eine "Sprache wählen" Grafik und eine Grafik mit "Deutsch  und Englisch". Wenn ich jetzt die "Sprache wählen" Grafik als  Schaltfläche nehme, und beim Status "darüber" die andere PSD-Grafik  einfüge, dann öffnet sich das Menü genau, wie ich will. Ich kann aber  natürlich die Texte "Deutsch" und "Englisch" nicht als weitere  Schaltfläche machen. Weil ich ja nicht eine Schaltfläche in eine  Schaltfläche machen kann.
    Ich hoffe, das war verständlich. (-: Hat jemand eine generelle Idee, wie man so etwas macht?
    Grüße!

  • Encore CS6 Flash Export problem, Grey screens

    Hi everyone,
    I am having a problem with my encore CS6 flash exports, they are not behaving as expected online (seems to be like a loading issue).
    I've tried exporting FLV and F4V and the problem is the same. The same project exported from CS5.5 does not produce this undesirable
    problem. It may be important to say that the project was started in CS5.5.
    I have a button that links to another menu, and I am using videos as 'transitions'. The videos are dynamic after effects compositions.
    When it's online, and you press the button it fills the canvas with a  'grey screen' before starting the video transition. This totally breaks
    the experience and feels like an authoring error. It would be important to note, that this screens only appear the first time you see the flash.
    Somehow the next time you press it doesnt show it.
    I would happily go back to CS5.5 but I started using auto-activate buttons that are only available on CS6 flash exports.
    Any ideas what has changed between this versions flash exports?
    Any help would be appreciated..
    Thanks in advance,
    Cris

    Encore CS6 6.0.2.004, IE9, Win7
    Simple project, DVD NTSC, One menu with one button. One timeline. Menu first play, button linked to timeline.
    Output flash with flv (and again with f4v - same results), No template, keep with flash swf rather than streaming.
    Open index.html locally, must manually enable active content. Menu opens, movie plays. No grey screen.
    Copy entire folder to USB, same result; USB plays on a different PC also.
    Upload to web site; same result.
    Am I doing soething differently from either of you? Are you using templates?
    Factors related to flash security (for local and probably USB playback) can be problems. Various server settings can be problems for on line.

  • Flash export leaves "gaps" between button clicks

    Hi!
    I'm having a nasty issue with the flash export capability of Encore CS4. I was trying to build a website that has 3 pages and a navigations system to go to them. The problem is that although everything seems to work just fine in the Encore preview, as soon as I export the project to a flash file and try to navigate, I get a flash between the clicks. It kind of looks like flash player is updating the content, just a quick flash on the page.
    I have seen examples of flash webpages made with encore and they didn't seem to have that problem. What could be causing the "gaps" or "flashes" when navigating?

  • Add Multi-Audio Track Ability to Flash Export

    When authoring DVDs and Blu-ray disks we have options to add alternate audio tracks which the user can select on the fly or we can add menu options for their selection. This ability is absent in flash exports from CS3.

    Hi
    Not in iMovie as standard (only two alt. - Pic in Pic or Side by Side)
    Work around:
    • Create the MultiClip in QuickTime Player Pro - and import this - or -
    • Create first Pic in Pick as a new iMovie project
    - Export this as a full quality QT.mov
    - Import this into a New Project
    - Add one more Pic
    - Export / Import / Add - and so om

  • External USB Hard Drive causes menu problem - menu items flash

    Greetings:
    I have a external USB hard drive (250 GB) that is partitioned into 3 hard drives. Two hard drives are formatted in MacOS standard and one is formatted in MacOS extended. I had to reformat the last drive in MacOS extended because the Macbook would not let me edit files on the drive.
    The problem is that when I connect to the drives, the menu malfunctions (I cannot see the date and time and the menu items flash). Dismounting the drives solves the problem.
    Do I need to reformat the hard drives? Or do I need a new USB drive?
    Thank you.

    Hmm, someone else had a similar problem.  Note the ":: Loading root filesystem module...-e" line.  That "-e" shouldn't be there.  It should be, instead, the module for the filesystem.
    As a workaround for right now, you can add your filesystem module to the MODULES array, and remove the "filesystems" hook.
    In that case, you'll probably want rootdelay=* to allow the drive some time to settle, and rootfstype=* to speed up filesystem detection while in kinit.
    By the way, what filesystem do you have on that machine?  Can you tell me what
    /usr/lib/klibc/bin/fstype < /dev/sda1
    outputs on a running system (you may need to be root, or add yourself to the "disk" group or something similar) - /dev/sda1 should be replaced if the usb drive is not sda1

  • Nokia 5800 white menu button flashes

    Hi & yes its me again , i seem to have a strange thing on my mobile, whenever i reply to a message or just end a phone call & the mobile locks itself automatically the white menu screen flashes as though its indicating that i have a missed call or sms, but however I would have none of these, the inbox isn't full either, to make the white button stop flashing I have to unlock and relock the phone again.
    Has anyone had this type of problem before?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Found out it was the breathing light that was going slowly on and off, if i disable it, its gone, however i enabled it as i didnt mind having this feature turned on, the new sms or missed call light flashes faster than the breathing light, however Its fine with me Thanks to all!!!

  • Seriously Apple, why can't Leopard render a transparent menu bar on my Mac?

    I have a 2-year-old PowerBook 12" 1.5 GHz running Leopard 10.5.2 freshly updated today. I thought for sure I'd get to see a translucent menu bar but, no, still opaque as ever with no option to change.
    Apple, let me tell you some of the things this pretty capable computer can do:
    -Dynamically render transparency and reflections in a magnifying Dock
    -Dynamically render transparency in Terminal windows with varying levels of transparency
    -Render GPU-intensive animations such as Genie effect, rotating cube, and dashboard "splash"
    -Hey, I can even boot into Linux, run Gnome, and make it's menu bar transparent!
    Please stop telling me my computer is not compatible enough to display a translucent menu bar. Displaying the transparency in the menu bar has got to be one of the least intensive operations Leopard will do. It is a static image (save for seldom changing menu items) that rarely needs to be re-rendered. Terminal windows, however, get resized, dragged around and display their transparency beautifully.
    Let's get some straight answers as to why this simple issue of getting a Transparent menu bar consistently displayed (ot not displayed, by choice) across all of your "compatible" hardware is such a confusing mystery.
    Thanks for fixing the Stacks, at least.

    Thanks for your input. While you may not mind a solid menu bar, I quite like it and would like to have one. My main gripe however, is the fact that this really just seems like some bug that Apple isn't willing to focus on, or admit to.
    They say the graphics card can render "most effects" but not the menu bar. But, seriously, as I've mentioned before, why can it render transparent drop-down menus, transparent Terminal windows, transparent/reflective Dock, Dashboard ripple effect but not a simple, basic, transparent menu?
    Once I get a decent answer to this, I'll be satisfied. Because right now, telling me my 64MB graphics card can't handle it seems like a load of bulls**t.

  • Looking for a sample of the Flash Export from Encore CS3

    I am close to upgrading to the CS3 Production Premium and one of the features that intrigues me is the Flash export from Encore CS3. I have searched the Adobe site without success for a sample of what an exported project looks like and functions on the web. Can anyone point me to a on-line sample of an exported project? Thanks in advance :)

    'Black Gaps' in Flash usually come from the Flash trying to locate & load the next Flash file. Without a Pre-Loader, you will probably always have this... especially if your quality is set too high. This equates to longer load/buffer times which means there is nothing to display until there is enough video loaded in the buffer to play.
    If your ultimate goal is to create Video for the Web... you'll need to learn proper techniques for producing video for the web. It is much different than producing video for TV or DVD. On the web you have to compress your video a lot more therefore you should not use a lot of Motion/Movement in your Characters, Camera, Media, Motion Backgrounds, etc. The less Motion/Movement you have means you can lower your quality settings but still get awesome looking video & good load times eliminating the Black Gaps and making an all around smoother internet presentation/experience.

  • How best to display a two column menu in Flash 8?

    I have a flash 8 template and i am using Macromedia Flash Professional 8. I want to create a menu in a scrollable text box, which has two columns exactly aligned like so:
    Lamb                                                   £2.30                       Chicken                                                      £2.30                                                
    Minced lamb with onions, herbs,                                           Minced chicken with an mixture of
    in egg yolk and shallow fried.                                                green chillies cooked over a charcoal grill on
    Kebab                                                  £2.80                       Lamb                                                         £2.40
    A mix of chicken kebab, seekh kebab and                             Minced lamb mixed with gram flour, spices, green
    shami kebab.  Served on a sizzler.                                        chillies and herbs then deep fried.
    However, when i test the movie there is no formatting and the text is misaligned. I already have the above text (and there is alot of it) in the exact format, in a word file, so i could copy and paste the text instead of writing it out all over again.
    I have been advised that it is better to use the Datagrid component to display the above text in a table?
    My question is, how can i use the Datagrid component to display the text aligned exactly as above? Do i need to create html tables and then get the datagrid component to call this html file, xml file or actionscript? I am not familiar with xml or actionscript.
    Please can someone help?
    Thank you.

    Hi Ned. Apologies for late reply. Been away.
    Anyway, i have created an image of what it is i need. Please see the image below - menu.gif
    Not sure what the easiest way is to create such a two column menu in Flash because the tab key on the keyboard does not work in a scrollable textbox only the space bar. And using the space bar does not align the text correctly.
    However, i do have a html file which i created using html tables. Is there a way to import the html file into a scrollable textbox in flash? The raw html code example is a little different as i have included the borders, but the idea is the same - a two-column scrollable menu.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
