Wmode = transparent and Active content fix

I'm trying to set the bg of a an swf to transparent...my
problem is it doesnt seem to work when you impliment the Adobe

Has anyone figured out how to pull it off?

Active Content Fix gone?

Hello,
Just began playing around with DW CS4, and have run into a
problem with .swf files. The Active Content fix for IE is no longer
there. The new files it creates in a Script folder do not seem to
solve that problem. Does anyone know what the deal is with this?
DW now installs swfobject_modified.js and expressInstall.swf
in a script folder. I imagine this is supposed to take care of the
situation, but it doesn't. One must first click to the .swf on a
webpage, in order to interact with it. Any help would be
appreciated.

Recent versions of Internet Explorer don't need the Active
Content fix,
so it has been replaced by a different script that validates
and works
cross-browser.

Using manual JS Active Content Fix, but now how do I append the *.swf?

Hi all I am using this method to fix the Active Content
issue,
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/articles/devletter.html#multipleoccurrences
but now I have come across a situation when I have to append
the end of the .swf.
EG: Active content fix script. It does not use the extension
.swf
<script type="text/javascript" >

'menu', 'true',

'movie', 'images/footer_graphic_1_about',
'salign', ''
); //end AC code
</script>
I need to add .swf?<%response.write qs%>" to the
images/footer_graphic_1_about, because I am passing a variable
through the .swf.
Eg: images/footer_graphic_1_about.swf?intro=no
Any help would be great.

Pop-Up Menus and active content errors - Help!

I'm attempting to add pop-up menus to my navigation bar, to
make my site more user-friendly, but to no avail:
I've tried designing pop-up menus in Fireworks, then
importing the html code in, but that gives me errors when I try to
insert the bar. Then, I tried putting my menus in different layers,
with a "show layer" behavior on the button, and a "hide layer"
behavior attached to the roll-off of the layer, but my version of
Dreamweaver won't attach a behavior to a layer.
Then, I noticed the tech-note on this site for the fix to use
pop-ups in a template, so I added pop-up menus directly to my
navigational buttons using the wizard. So here's where my problem
comes in. . .
When I preview my page, it throws up an active content error,
but will still run. I uploaded it to my remote server, but when I
went to the url, no action takes place when I put my cursor over
it. Anybody have any ideas on how to create a pop-up menu that
won't throw up an active content error? I've seen them on plenty of
websites before, but can't figure how to do them.
Any light you could shed would be greatly appreciated!

Sometimes, they make your site less user-friendly. So be
careful.
The DW/FW pop-up menus are usually something that should be
avoided. They
are very poorly thought out and implemented, and will likely
cause you
continuing problems. It's foolish to devote the time to them
that could be
more effectively be placed elsewhere, especially since there
are better
options that work right out of the box, so to speak. Please
check the free
and commercial options here -

> Any light you could shed would be greatly appreciated!
Don't use DW/FW pop-up menus.

Keyboard problem with wmode transparent and firefox

Hello,
I came accross a very nasty bug in this configuration:
FireFox+Windows+[Flex area using the wmode=transparent]
If the flex area has a text input, then the keyboard mapping
is stuck with a wrong keyboard mapping and some characters can
simply not be entered. For instance, on a French keyboard, it is
not possible to enter a @ character.
This bug seems very old, here is a reduced situation dated
from 2005 (!):
<
http://www.5etdemi.com/blog/archives/2005/06/firefox-wmodetransparent-is-completely-screwy -and-breaks-textfields/>
Many other people talked about the problem since, for
instance here:
<
http://blog.headlondon.com/archives/no-wmode-please-were-british/>
My questions are:
* does anyone know of a work-around for this (and yes we _do_
need the transparent feature :-)
* why has this nasty bug not being fixed since 2005 ? I
posted a bug report today but it must have been done before.
I do not know if this is a bug with Firefox or the Flash
player but in all cases many Flex apps can be affected by this bug
if they use the transparent feature.
thanks in advance for the feedback,
Matthieu.

IE Active content fix breaks my page!

So I have version 7 SWF on a page, and DW8 wants to apply its
"IE Active
Content block fix" to the page, after which time, the SWF no
longer shows
up. The page just sits there bank. There had been a posting
here months ago
about a cgc.js fix, but I can't find the details on that
now...
Has anyone else run into this? How should we handle it?
Thanks

<sigh>
Upload the Scripts folder that the fix places in your Local
root folder.
This is asked and answered about 10 times a day here.

Adobe Active Content Fix

Just a note to Adobe and a fair warning to those using Flash.
The Adobe
Active Content deployment fix seems to be problematic on
complex pages.
That is, any page that contains more than just Flash,
especially other
scripts. We're urging our customers not to use it and urge
Adobe to have
a serious look at this workaround. Strictly in terms of
scripting
protocol, and with respect to code aesthetics, it's an
"interesting"
piece of work and could be responsible for page hangs in some
browsers.

Wmode transparent and blend mode problem

Dear all,
I'm stuck with this problem so far, got headache after searching many days on google without solution. Our designer using blend mode: screen (in flash) for some movies and the flash's transparent to save the file size display and then ưe are using html background. All'r working fine for wmode transparent but in Internet Explorer, it's not working to display the blend mode and appear the black background. You can check the image below to see what happen:
Loading the movies within blend mode screen
Transparent's working fine with the normal transparent
Test blend mode with opaque wmode to see how it will display
I've tested with IE7, 8, 9. I'm using window 7 Ultimate, 64bit, Flash player latest version. (And my clients, friends, also got that issues when seeing it with IE).
My embed code:
<object width="1000" height="600" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" >
<param value="high" name="quality"></param>
<param value="intro.swf" name="movie"></param>
<param value="opaque" name="wmode"></param>
<embed width="1000" height="600" wmode="opaque" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" quality="high" src="intro.swf">
</object>
We can solve it manually that put the image background into the flash but it's not the good way to do it in our modern web industry.
Any solution?

dont why i can't submit in the bugbase, it's just hanged out though i submit all the required information T.T
Update: the bug only with IE9. (i concerned IE 7, 8 because i've tested it by IE9 development tool, not real IE 7, 8). Today i've tried testing with real IE7, 8 and it's working fine.

Active content fix for ad placement?

OK, I've read all about the JS fix for active content but
what do you do if you don't control the HTML container for the
Flash ad. We're new to Flash ad development, will most sites allow
us to include a custom JS script to embed the ad or do they just
take the SWF? If they just take the SWF, how do we address the
active content issue?

You complain to whoever hosts the ad .. there is nothing you
can do yourself
.. the host for the ad will have to fix their own html.

Is there any fix for wmode transparency and mouseWheel for actionscript 2.0?

I have a flash component which have to be transparent. Unfortunately, the mouseWheel event is not being detected when wmode is set to transparent. Is there a fix for this?

Active content fix

Hi people.
Sorry to be a pain with what may be a silly question.
In Flash Professional (9) how do you get to the preferences
to turn on the built in fix for dealing with those nasty borders
and the popup message when you use Flash content on
websites.........
I have had this problem for some time and I am sorry to be a
dummy, but I just cannot work it out and it annoys me no
end........
Thanks in advance

Just publish your movie - Flash CS3 will generate an
"AC_RunActiveContent.js" file - upload it with
your swf and html in the same folder.

Active Content Fix Firefox

I have seen this asked here before but I have not seen an
answer.
I have embedded a Windows Media file into a page, run the
Dreamweaver AC fix, uploaded the Scripts to the server, and here is
the result:
http://www.fallettacompetition.org/test.html.
If you are seeing what I am seeing. Both instances of the
video play in IE7, sure you have to click to activate the bottom
instance, but it plays. In FF, the top instance, with the AC fix
doesn't even show up. The bottom w/o the fix does.
Anybody have a work around/solution? Thanks for taking a
look.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Active Content Fix in Firefox

I just updated a couple of sites with the Adobe AC fix. The
one site, with flash embeded, works fine in IE7 and Firefox (no
"click to activate"). The other site, with the AC fix, works fine
in IE&, but the embeded Windows Media Player does not show up
in Firefox. If I remove the AC fix stuff, it works fine in both IE7
and Firefox, but the click to activate is obviously there in IE7.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Active Content Fix Troubleshooting

Well the title says it all. Every fix I've tried makes my
flash movies, go white at the beginning. Like flashes of light.
This isnt happening on all my pages, thought, just some. Yet they
are all set up the same, using DW MX Does anyone know about this
issue? Is there a solution?
TIA
Amelia

Amelia;
The white flash symptom is usually caused by the default
background
color of white being displayed for an instant before the
movie is
initialized. It can be corrected in most cases by adding a
bgcolor
parameter/attribute in the object embed tags.
