Unwanted white box rendered before applet is initialised

With IE and Google chrome a white box is rendered before my applet is loaded/initialised. Is there any way of removing this or changing its color? My applet needs to be displayed on a blue background. The white rectangle is displayed even before any background image that is specified in the <applet> tag. With firefox everything works fine
Thanks

Were you able to resolve this issue? I have the same problem.
Thanks.

Hi,
Acrobat xi - RE: Add sound icon- skin displayed is a 'blank white box' until it is clicked to activate it- can you lock skin to display before its activated so that in a print run the skin shows up (ie the controls-or any kind of greyed out rectangle, like video controls before 1st activation) and not the blank white box- if no, I guess I have to activate all sound icons before doing a print run?thanks)).

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

While browsing eBay, when I watch or bid on an item, and later view it again, many inches of white space appears before item appears. If I delete the clear recent history box, the pages will come up as they should for several times, then go back to a lot of extra white space. How can I prevent this? Thank you, Rick in English

White box before flash starts

Hi All,
I have done my homework but did not see a simple fix.
I have loaded a 3 sec FLV movie with a black background to my index.html page using Dreamweaver and set the movie to start automatically. The index.html page has a black background to match the background of the FLV movie. 1 sec or so before the logo plays you see a "very distracting" white box (blank screen) where the flash player opens (surrounded by black). Once it opens all is well.
I have searched the fourm and see similar questions but did not see an answer...
Thanks,
Randy

hi
Have you set your wmode to transparent?

Little white boxes before every LI element

[RH 5.0.2 RoboHelp Html merged Webhelp project]
I've seen this before, but I thought the little white boxes
were related to some link controls, and so I removed thecontrols
and the boxes went away. This time, it's been caused by apparently
too many links (internal to the topic itself) that I've used to
present a series of alphabetical links within the topic.
There's nothing in the True Code but the little boxes, so
there's no help there. Any clues?
Leon

Good morning Leon
Although I've never personally experienced this, I believe
fellow Adobe Community Expert Peter Grainge has. If I recall
correctly, Peter discovered that sometimes TrueCode may actually
fib to us a bit. (gasp)
Have you tried examining the odd topic(s) using something
like good old simple Windows Notepad? Perhaps it will offer some
clues as to what may be amiss.
Cheers... Rick

Hanging at white box before playing progressive download

I began this discussion over on the Dreamweaver forum but was advised to move it here.
Been tearing my hair out for days. I have several flv files displaying just fine on my website. All I am am trying to do is replace an enormous .flv file with a smaller file of the same movie. The new smaller file is just 25 MB, compressed with a bitrate of 1000kbps. The test page that contains the smaller file previews just fine of course in Dreamweaver, but after uploading the clip, the html page, the .swf files (in the same directory) and the Scripts folder to my host's ftp server, the browser shows me that dreaded white box on my test page for a full seven minutes until the file loads up completely. Then it plays through beautifully with no buffering. On the other pages of my site, the videos all show up without such a wait, even the enormous 179 mb flv!
Here's the test page:
http://www.ponyhighway.com/emz-test2.html
The original page, which is working fine (except painful to view because of too large .flv file ), and from which the test page was created, is:
http://ponyhighway.com/emz.html
Flash videos also playing fine here:
http://ponyhighway.com/otm.html
I've scoured the code between the two pages (test and original) and can see nothing different except the name of the video clip.
Could there be something quirky with the FLVPlyer_Progressive.swf?
Some issue with moving between CS4 and CS3? (I'm now on CS3)
Something odd or extra in the code on the test page that I'm just not seeing?
BTW, I've asked for AutoRewind, but NOT AutoPlay (through Dreamweaver).
Thanks in advance for any help given.

Well now I get to come back with my tail between my legs to say that the solution was one of those really dumb, DUH kinds of things...
Just in case this can help anybody else I'll tell my sad story.
In an effort to get my flv file size WAY down, I was using a compression formula I got from one of the FCP gurus. But it was meant for making files to upload to youtube, so he had suggested keeping the streaming setting at "None," and setting the bitrate to 4000, since youtube would be adding further compression on their end. Silly me forgot to switch to "Fast start" for the progressive download. That was the key. Along the way to this revelation, I learned a ton about compression...I got my file size WAY down, and lowered my bitrate considerably as well (900), so although there is still some buffering on a slow connection, its not too bad, and a GIANT improvement over what was there before.I can live with it
Here's the new page:

Empty Movie Clip Shows White Box before Movie Loads

Hi all!
I created a type of slide show template that imports external
swfs. Everything works, but the client doesn't like the white box
created by the empty movie clip that appears before the external
swf loads. Does anybody know how to get rid of this? Any assistance
would be greatly appreciated!

Unwanted white lines and boxes in PDFs viewed on ios

hello - i have been having some serious issues with creating pdfs for mac users.
on windows they look great - no matter what settings i use - however i have been getting feedback that on a mac there are verticle lines or thin white boxes around text within tables.
no matter what settings i try i simply cannot get the pdfs to look like they do on windows machines. i cant understand why they would look different!
i am using word 2010 and acrobat 9 pro.
i have tried toggling 'smooth images' - ensurting i have no cropped images on the page - i have tried just about everything.
if i print to PDF - the vertical lines appear. if i 'save as' PDF the vertical lines are not visible, however the white boxes appear around text. i cant win!
i would appreciate any assistance. if i cant get this to work i will lose this client.
thank you.

hello,
thanks for your response. i have uploaded two versions:
Print to PDF
Save as PDF
Print to PDF is when i print to PDF from Word. this results in the horizontal white lines as seen from page 2 onwards.
Save as is when i save as PDF from Word. this results in the boxes around text within the tables.
please note that my customer will not accept the fact that they use use preview as an excuse. they view many PDFs a day without these problems - in fact they can create their own PDFs from Word and they do not have these lines.
additionally, i have an iphone, and if you view these PDFs on iphone, you can see the lines. unfortunately many of their clients use iphones. so i really need to be able to create these PDFs without these lines.
i appreciate any help you can provide.
thank you.
Mark.

White Box appears for a second before loading (Preloader?)

Hello,
This is my second post in 2 days (sorry). I am working with
Flash MX. I am building a site and I have build a template of sorts
(menu layout & background image). I was originally going to try
to load external swf (which was yesterday's issue and now resolved)
but it didn't quite give me the effect I was looking to achieve.
So, I am now linking to each page using flash buttons. I drop
a .swf it's own HTML page (home, contact, etc.). I am not sure if
this is the best way to do it, but it has worked in the past.
However, I am getting a white box where the swf sits as I navigate
from page to page.
Is this because I need a preloader? I have the background
color in my .fla file set to black. If not, how do rid of the box?
Thanks.

Hey, I couldn't wait to try this out. I pasted your code in
and I am still having the issue. Maybe it's just the way I have set
this up. I like having individual swf on each page. Not sure where
to go from here. I really do appreciate all your help in sticking
with my issue. Sorry if I am misunderstanding things. As I learn, I
want my work to look professional.
Also, at what point do I use a preloader? Is it always
needed?

White box before swf plays

I looked for similar questions on the forum, but couldn't find a reference. This is likely an inane question (with a simple answer), but here goes.
I have created slideshows for a site with a blue background. In quick succession, the page loads, a white box appears where the swf will play, and then the Flash movie starts. The background color of the Flash file matches the background color of the site. How do I get rid of the white box that appears beforehand?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Jon

If the background of the movie is the same color as the page I think there is a param you can change in your object tag or your swfobject or something like that that will make the swf stage transparent. Then I think the white box will go away.
You may also need to use a preloader to eliminate the box.

Invisible controls appear as white boxes

I'm currently writing a swing applet that displays a JTree with custom drawn labels and checkboxes on the nodes and uses the Windows Look & Feel. It appears when I set IsVisible(false) on either checkbox or label that they display an empty white box. This wouldn't be a problem if my background was white, which it's not. I've tried setting the background color on everything (RootPane, ContentPane, JScrollPane, the tree, the checkbox, the label ) to the same color but wih no success. Is there something I'm overlooking?

Hi,
One thing you haven't mentioned about changing background colors is your CellRenderer. That is the object that performs the drawing of your custom nodes. I would start with that and see what you can do. Maybe you can override setVisible in that class and change your renderer to just draw an empty rectangle using the background color instead of your custom component. You might need to do this because the paint might even be getting called because of the setVisible flag being false.
Regards,
Manfred.

I don't like when I scroll over a link on a webpage and the hyperlink shows up on the bottom right in white box... it is extremely annoying. I want to know how to turn it off if possible, otherwise I'm going to have to use another browser. Thank you.

I don't recall this feature on any other version of firefox. For some reason, I can't stop focusing on the fact that every time I scroll over something on a webpage, an annoying white box pops up in the corner of the website displaying the hyperlink, or showing the fact that the link or whatever is loading... it's unnecessary and to me it appears as clutter, especially when I'm browsing a website that has a colored backdrop because then the annoying box pops out even more. I want to turn it off somehow or get rid of firefox.

To toggle the add-on bar on/off use Ctrl+/ or hide the add-ons bar through the View > Toolbars menus
Th add-ons bar replaces the status bar, so if you miss the status-bar working as before see item #10 in
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

White box behind transparent images with drop shadow in InDesign CC 2014 (v.10) but not in InDesign CC (v.9)

Hi all,
Please can you help? No matter what settings I use in my print options in InDesign CC 2014 (v.10), ALL transparent images with a drop shadow are printing with a white box behind the image. If I remove the drop shadow, all prints fine. I know this is an old issue that happens with ID sometimes but I have been lucky enough to never have had it happen to me before! (All images are regular flattened TIFF images with clipping paths).
Also, feathered edges are not printing correctly and are sharp instead of feathered.
When I export the document to IDML and open it up in InDesign CC (v.9) all prints perfectly with no white boxes and feathered edges prints perfectly as well. I have compared all of the print settings (including color management, transparency flattener, etc.) between both versions and they are exactly the same. I am printing to a Xerox color laser printer. Can anyone offer any advice?
Thank you so much,
Christine

Okay...false alarm! It turns out that the issue was with my PRINTER settings (the settings you customize after hitting the “Printer” button at the bottom of the Print dialogue box in ID CC. I thought I had triple checked this but it seems there was one setting I missed earlier…adjusting the print brightness seemed to cause the issue. SO GLAD to know it was not InDesign…20 or so sheets/prints later….and thankful to know what was causing the issue! Thank you so much Steve for helping at any rate:) Much appreciated:)

Eliminating 'the big white box ' on load

In the second or two before my flash page appears with normal
preloader etc, the size of the flash element is always shown a s a
big white box over the surrounding black page...my background color
is set to black on both the flash and html page containing it and I
try to leave first frame clear of elements that would slow
load...is there an easy fix for this unsightly hiccup to my
intro?

Try to set the flash window at "transparent, windowless" at
the HTML tab in export options.

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......!!
scott

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.
