I am using a flash menu in an HTML page (embedding it with swf object). I have it working correctly using z indexing, however I have it as a fixed size for the height. I would like the menu to to re size the div tag when the button is rolled over in flash this way it makes room for the drop down.
i'm learning flash and I've stuck on a problem. I have web page in php and i wan't only flash menu. The problem is that when i make geturl in actionscript the new page open, but i wan't that only content refresh.URL...
This clients site has a flash menu, but the content of the page is in html. I know how to write the actionscript so that each menu button links to a different html page. However, I would also like the flash menu to show each page buttons link as "Active" when its on that certain page.For example, I'm on the home page. The "home" link in the flash menu is hilited. I click "products", and the products.html loads. I'm not sure how to write the actionscript so that the "products" link in the flash menu is now hilited. The only way I know to do it, would be to create a different menu.swf for each page. But I'm sure there's a way to do it using only one menu.swf.
Also, I'm doing the menu.swf on a timeline in the fla. I'm not sure how to do it otherwise or if what I need can be done on a timeline.
I have a html/css based menu and I'm trying to put a flash video in the banner right under it, but when I hover the dropdown section of the menu it ends up behind it.Is this a z-index problem or do I need to set certain properties on the flash video?
I am using a drop down menu, with all its code written in .js file. I have a flash on my website. The drop down menu shows more content when you hover on top of any category, but this additional content is hiding behind the flash file, the flash file is over lapping the drop down menu content
I have a problem with a Flash object and the menu of my page. The site is on Wordpress : [URL] When I try to access to the menu, the menu content appears behind the Flash. How can I fix this? this is my code of the template section:
I know there has been several posts on this topic, but i wanted to see what was the best way. I need to create a drop down menu on an html site. I was thinking of doing it in flash however i need the drop down to extend downwards over the html content. I read online that you can make the flash bg transparent using wmode and that would make it look as if it is overlying the html. However this transparent mode isnt supported in Safari. Is there a better way of doing this?
I have an HTML website with a flash header and dropdown menu.In the beginning, the flash dropdown menu would not show at all untili found the wmode=transparent trick.The menus are now showing properly except for one specific page wherethe text on the page show up OVER the dropdown menu. In all otherpages, the dropdown menu shows up on top of any text that may be inthere.There's nothing on that particular page jumping at me that would causethe problem. In fact, the page uses the same CSS file as the otherpages. I'm really clueless.I'm not sure if it's a flash problem or HTML/CSS problem.
The only difference i could think of was that the page was called froma combobox change event. But i switched the page called to anotherpage i know works with the menu and it was fine. So the problem doesnot come from the combobox calling the page, it really is the pageitself.Does anyone have a clue?Working page sample (sorry its in french)click on Nos Services. You can see how the menu shows up over the bolded text.Now click on the combobox and select the first item listed in it.
I am working on a project that I need to create a flash navigation bar for a html site. There will be a drop down menu when you rollover the buttons on the nav bar, which means the drop down menu will be overlaying on top of the html pages. I saw websites were done like this before, but I personally don't know how to do it.
I have a Flash header with a menu item that drops down a sub menu and takes up an additional 200px or so of space. I need the menu to overlap the HTML content below without having to make the SWF file taller, since that would push everything down.
I would like to navigate to an html anchor from a flash menu. I use navigateToURL("#anchorName", "_self"). It work fine in IE 7, Firefox 2 and 3 but in safari the page reload. How can I prevent safari from reloading the page?
I've tried a few different things but mostly all I've been able to do is get the menu to open up pop up windows.
I'm trying to create a Flash Menu for a standard HTML website. I have the buttons all created and the menu all done, but the AS 3 for the links just doesn't seem to work correctly. Plus I can't seem to find a tutorial on here that fits what I'm trying to do.[code]...
I have a very classic website with Flash built menu and HTML content. Now what I need is the menu buttons( which are Movie Clips actually) to maintain in their pressed position when a particular button from menu is pressed (which actually I did inside flash, but everytime new hyperlink is followed, the website is refreshed and new SWF loaded without button being pressed obviously).
I know this can be done either by Frames which I do not want or passing an argument in URL string from HTML when we call for an SWF object.
Sounds great, but I how do I pass different arguments to several menu pages, when i have only one SWF object and therefore only one hard-coded place of data or value where i can pass the argument in string ?
Do I need to divide my flash object to as many swf's as i need buttons and links ?
I've made a site where an iframe calls to a top navigation element, with a javascript drop down menu. I have it working where the menu drops over a center flash element, but even when the menu is not "dropped" - any element in that area on the flash does not respond to clicks.
I've changed z indexes, and now i cant seem to get the flash file to even be ontop of the iframe -
so i am making a website in Dreamweaver cs5 and i am going to be importing a .swf animation for the menu bar i made in Flash. how do i make an action in Flash direct to a page of my website in Dreamweaver for example the index.html file of my web page.right now i have an actions layer with a stop(); command on the last frame of the animation i want to add a command under that, that will take the user to the index.html page of my website when the button is clicked. I have the button already made as well as the animation all i am missing is the code to go to the index.html page.
I have inserted a flash menu into the html pages in my website. I am using the same swf file and ebedding a variable name in each page eg. "menu.swf?x=about". I then use a conditional statement in the actionscript to determine which page i am on eg
else if (x == "about") { mc_menu.about._alpha = 50;
Is it possible to use HTML frames with Flash? For example, I want to make a flash menu system on my site, and have the click of the menu buttons open up an HTML page in a different frame.
I have a .swf I'm inserting at the top of a page in DW. I have a button named "aboutUs_btn" which when pressed needs to load "aboutUs.html. That part works fine, but it always loads the page into a new window. How do I make it load into the same window? I could do this in AS2 with getURL and using _self. Here is what I have:
var aboutUsLink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("aboutUs.html"); aboutUs_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,aboutUsClick); function aboutUsClick(event:MouseEvent):void{navigateToURL(aboutUsLink);}
I have an iframe to a page where a Flash swf file is running; does anybody have an idea how to make it transparent so that my drop-down menu should be shown perfectly? Kindly be informed I can't edit the source page (add param = wmode, value = transparent to the Flash object), only if there is any chance to make it possible in iframe or some JavaScript on my page, I have already tried allowtransparency="true" and background-color="transparent".

I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to control a flash movie from a HTML menu(anchors or buttons) without having the page reload.What I want is a flashmovie and some sort of list with links, and when a link is clicked on the movie changes its contents. There are reasons as to why I want the menu to be written out in HTML and not included in the flash movie. Can I pass information into the movie after it has been loaded?
I have been customizing a Flash template and I'm almost done... my issue is that I would like one of the buttons to open up a NEW window (ideally with no address bar but with a scrollbar) when a user clicks the guestbook button. Right now it opens in the same window and the user then clicks a button on that page to return to the site, but that is sloppy because the music starts all over again, etc.[URL]

Just finished up my first drop down menu and needed some help as well as feedback. [URL] QUESTION: What do I need to do to make the dropdown menu scroll down and fall over the html content? In other words; How do i get the other content on the page to sit right underneath the dropdown menu? I can only get the content to sit below the .swf video which is larger than the dropdown bar since it needs room to display the drop down selections.
