I am making a head unit "wall" for an AV store. the wall will have all the various head units they carry. When clicked, I want a small overlay to come up over the rest of the app that displays basic info about the unit. Then a simple click to make the box disappear... There are several head units, so efficiency would be ideal.

I am trying to close on as I am attempting to get this incorporated into my website. It came with the recommendation to try the CS5 today to see if this will meet the requirement at the moment.There is a desire to take custom SWF files (I think there is something called Swish files too?) from various sponsors for advertisement purposes and place them on my website.The implementation was straight-forward to make them work through the webserver.I tried a custom example of making a button that upon mouse click would open up a new webpage in CS5 which did work for me.My problem is since the SWF files are finalized, there is no way to put URL information into those files.After doing a lot of searching around today, it appears that the best way to redirect a user upon click of a video is to:
1) Open up a new Flash
2) Import the SWF video file into the project
3) Create a Invisible Button over top the SWF video so when the user clicks, they are redirected to a specific URL.
But for some reason, when I tried to overlay it with a sample SWF file I imported, there was all this flickering going on to where both were made transparent to one another on the screen not to mention the video wasn't even visible at all.My hope was that the SWF video could be seen clearly while the button remained invisbile to handle the click on the video.Is there someone on the forum that is able to guide me fairly quickly with a fast-path procedure so that I can try this?
I am using Google's Audio player to play an MP3 on a webpage. My issue is that I am overlaying an image on top of the the play/pause button. Yet when the image is clicked nothing happens. Here is the code:
<div class="center" style="width: 400px; z-index:1; visibility:hidden;">
<embed wmode="transparent" width="400" height="27"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="audioUrl=/sourcefile.mp3"
[Code]....
That did not work. One thing I noticed is if I have visibility:hidden; the flash player will not respoind to any clicks regardless of what is over it. With that said I attempted to overlay the image using <input> without the visibility:hidden; and it still did not work.
I need to get this fixed if at all possible. I am willing to use another flash player that is similar as long as it works correctly and will use an mp3 like above.
I'm trying to figure out how to make a configurable wrapper or container file that I can simply pass variables such as
wrapper.swf?m=movie-to-load&u=url-that-button-goes-to
It seems simple enough, and I'm half way there ( I can get external movies to load ) however the transparent button is over my head ( read: I'm a complete noob ).[code]...
I've tried hardcoding a url into getURL as well but it doesnt' seem to be recognizing that there's even a button there.. is that because there's a new movie being loaded?
i'm trying to create a swf that retrieves the users location (town)I've looked about online and it seems this could be done by using longitutde/latitude values for example(Guessing thats how you would do it - open to suggestions though!)I've seen working examples of this on various peices of flash that magically tell you what town your.
View 2 RepliesI'm using mx.rpc.http.HTTPService to retrieve data from a web service. On the initial call to "loadWsData", HTTPService accurately retrieves all the data. However, on any and all subsequent calls HTTPService does not accurately retrieve the data; rather it some how always retrieves the first data set. I've confirmed that the web service is providing accurate data, both from web browsers and a ruby ws client script. If I terminate the flex app and restart it, it will retrieve the accurate data.
ActionScript Code:
private function loadWsData():void{
var webService:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
webService.url = serviceUrl;
webService.method = "GET";
webService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, function(event:ResultEvent):void{
var rawData:String = String(event.result);
var user:Object = JSON.decode(rawData).user;});
webService.send();}

View 0 RepliesI have an fla file with a simple flv video player control. How do I add a big "Play Button" similar to an embeded YouTube video in the middle of the video when it isn't set to auto play. Some videos have black screens when they start, so it looks pretty barren with a bunch of black players all over.
View 5 Repliesi have a flash site im working on, with an image gallery. the way the site is designed, when you enter into a gallery, while it's loading the images (lets say 5-10 images), it draws 5-10 gray boxes in the exact spots the images will load into.
the trick is i need to know in advance how big the gray boxes should be (width/height) before the image is fully downloaded.
i found this site: [URL]
but the way he wrote this, as soon as the class determines the images dimensions, it cancels the download.
i'd rather have a fully complete image class that downloads images, dispatches events with the image dimensions as SOON as theyre detected, and fully downloads the images as well.
What I have is a simple flash movie displaying text. I want it to play covering the whole screen, then once it's finished disappear and then thats where the home page is.
View 1 RepliesRecently I created a simple flash text card animation with arrows allowing the user to scoll through the different cards. I wanted to go a step further and make an overlay so when the user rolls over it, it would expand showing a variety of buttons for them to click and link off to in different places this is where my problem began. I created to overlay as a movie clip and when a small arrow is rolled over the movie clip overlay_mc plays and expands to reveal the buttons and the rollout function causes it to contract. The buttons however are un-clickable and after some research i discovered this is because the overlay_mc clip acts as a layer over the buttons.Is there anyway I can create an overlay with the buttons remaining active?

View 1 RepliesI want to make some online courses in video format. I am wondering whether it is possible and what the best work flow and tools are for achieving the following. Once I have a video in Flash format (.flv) I grant users access to it via a login-in. At that point I want the user name to be overlaid to the video. This is to deter fraudulent exchange of the video (only the ones who paid for it should watch it). I am baffled by what I found in the internet. I looked at JavaFX, swfmill, SWFTools, MTASC, Ming library, haXe, FlashDevelop, Flex SDK... It is not clear to me:
- If what I want to achieve is possible (overlay the user name to the video).
- What the right work flow is.
- What the right tool is (the simplest and possibly free).
I'm just trying to load a videostream, align in the center of the stage and put it on the first visible layer.This code just loads it but align it on top-left of stage and under some layers that forbid it to be seen.[code]
View 5 RepliesI'm coding a flash video jukebox. In this movie there will be a small box with subtitles for the flv playing at the moment. The problem is that, when I press the fullscreen button, the text overlay dissapears. I think that what is really happening is that the overlay is "hiding" at the back of the video.
Is there any way to put this overlay on top of the video so it remains even if I press the "fullscreen" button on the flvplayback component?
Does anyone know how to create an action that will allow a text overlay to appear with the source image from a UIloader? I'm considering just editing the image itself to include the text but am hoping to reduce file size.

View 1 RepliesDiv Z-Index issue with Flash movie
how can i overlay html elements over flash ?
I'm having trouble displaying a overlay div saying "Please wait..." on top of a flash movie, even with absolute positioning and z-index highier than the flash movie itself. But the overlay div is still behing the flash movie. Why is that? I think it's something to do with embed/param tags but I'm not sure? Here's the code:

I've got a div over an iframe, in the iframe there's a website that contains a youtube movie. On mac firefox and safari everytyhing works fine, on windows both IE and FF put flash on top of my div.
The situation I have is really similar to google image interface, I noticed that google images manages to correctly overly an immage over a website with flash content in any browser both win and mac.
How they manage to do that? Considering they have no access to iframed page code. I tried reading their code to find solution with no success.
usually it can be solved with the "wmode transparent" param, but in firefox i have a strange problem. when i overlay a flash element with a part of a div the div renders strange (like stairs at the border of the flash element)
[URL]
the grey area (and a small transparent area above) is the flash element. the outline is the div with a border.
the error occurs only on FF (i have 3.6) chrome/safari works fine...
CODE:
its an swfobject implementation. the overlaying div/ul is positioned after the
flash-wrapper.
<div id="flash-wrapper">
<object width="740" height="500" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

I want to use semi transparent circles to show the intensity of the effect by altering the radius of the circle and animate it while placing them. for example it appears as a dot and then grows to the intended size in fraction of a sec.
I could see some functions in javascript API but not in Flex. Saw some examples that uses polygon. But i dont want to plot all 360 points for just one circle.
is there any way to add an overlay image dynamically over a MovieClip? Sort of like a watermark... except that I'm not trying to make a watermark.Let me explain: I'm trying to program a gallery of videos that will be loaded dynamically through XML. Each video will come with a JPG of the same size, which will be the poster frame for said video (and will also be loaded via XML). The user will see a scrollable horizontal strip of "videos" (actually the pictures), and when he clicks on one of them, the poster frame will disappear (_visible=false) and the FLV player underneath will start playing the chosen video.
So far so good. I load the pictures via XML and put each of them in a MovieClip. I distribute the MovieClips in an horizontal strip. I add to each of them an event handler so that they start playing the video when pressed. The only thing that I don't know how to do is: how do I add to each of the MovieClips a semitransparent "Play" button? They are generated dynamically, and I don't know how many of them (i.e. how many videos) will be there beforehand, so I can't simply add them in a layer on the Stage;
how we can create an overlay in flash?
I want a case where user clicks something in the flash file, I want to check if he is logged in, if he is not then give him a login screen on top of whatever he was viewing in the flash file. Once the login screen is displayed, he should not be able to do anything in the background - only when the login credentials are verified, will he be able to do anything behind this overlay.
I don't want to go to a different frame, I want to show a screen on top of the current screen being viewed by the user.
I am creating a game using flash. When the player looses the game, I need to show a message like "You lost...!!!" as an overlay to the currently displayed view. So when this message is displayed, user should not be able to click the controls (may be button or some movie clips) behind it. How can it be possible?
View 5 RepliesOverlay blending mode in flash on trasnaprent, imported images, doesn't work properly! It leaves dimmed black background instead of transparency. Same thing is in CS4 and in CS5. What is even more weird is that in Flash preview stage window everything is fine, and it works, but after publishing the SWF, you can see black background.I looked for workaround that...no success. No one answeres to this question.
-I tried with 24png, 8png, gif with different settings. No success.
-Tried also with After Effects, and then export to SWF, it works surprisingly.
There are buttons on either side that scroll the dynamically loaded images left and right. The script is compiled from an external AS file which I've pasted below.
What I need to do is load a transparent png over top of the images but underneath the buttons. I've inserted a graphic below. I've tried inserting the png directly in the timeline as well as loading it dynamically in to a movie clip. The overlay always comes out on the bottom. [code]...
I'd like to know how to create an "overlay" in Flex's Advanced Grid? See the sample here [URL].
