ActionScript 3.0 :: Paramters Passed To Flash Movie Get Killed By Wmode (weird)?
Sep 23, 2009
I wasn't to sure where to post this exactly since I'm not sure if this is a actionscript or some other problem.Ok here it goes. The problem is this if in the embed in the HTML document I put in wmode="transparent" for the flash movie the parameter I am passing to the flash movie never gets passed ... I don't see how wmode can do such a thing but then again this is really my first time working with wmode in general.I tested it numerous times to make sure it really does come down to wmode and it does.Here is the code I currently have I hope there is someone out there that could explain to me why it's doing this.
Code:
<param name="movie" value="header.swf?playMovie=stop" />
<param name=quality value=high />
<embed src="header.swf?playMovie=stop"[code]........
Update: I have isolated the problem to a single browser which is Firefox. I've tested it with IE8, Safari and Chrome and they all work without any issues except for Firefox.

I have a customized drag event that works great for most things:
[Code]...
The issue is that when I use this code with wmode=transparent or wmode=opaque the MOUSE_LEAVE event is not detected when the MOUSE_UP event occurs off the stage. Is there a way to detect the MOUSE_LEAVE event when wmode is transparent or opaque? OR Is there a way to detect that the wmode is set to transparent or opaque so that a work-around may be implemented?

I'm basically trying to extract a series of variables that are passed in URL from another flash movie. I have researched flash vars and the like and didnt really get far.[code]I was able to get the URL into Flash!So flash now has a variable called "section" that holds a string like this.url...My question is; how do i get the values held in each of these days, weeks, years, etc into a format that can be used with in the flash movie. Ideally into seperate variables where the values can be returned in a textbox.

I need to display a word passed to the flash movie through flashvars. My objective is to display this word centered inside a black rectangle which length adapts to the word length. The box should be on top of everything, aligned with the right margin of the Flash Movie and 100px from the top margin.

Everytime a monster dies, I want the monsters killed dynamic text field to increase the number by 1. I gave it a good shot but it feels like im missing something basic, Im fairly new to this still but picking it up quickly. The following code is inside of a movieClip dealing with the monsters. The second block of code is on my main timeline.

I'm a seasoned AS3 developer working on a major online project and we've run across a strange visual anomaly which is connected to the movieclip cacheAsBitmap property. When using author-time additive blends (which we use for lighting effects) in a movieclip, turning on the cacheAsBitmap property (without which performance becomes unacceptable in our very detailed art) seems to 'destroy' the additive blend. The art director says that the visual effect produced is as if the blend mode had been set to Normal, which I can confirm--some blends which are yellow turn orange, other 'spotlights' turn from transparent yellow to dark gray.

im using key.addlisteners to check for key presses. but if a person presses all 3 keys at once (RIGHT, LEFT, UP) then releases one at a time, only the first release is noted by flash. see a demo at:
http:[url]....is there any way to solve this?
NOTE: I do not want to use if(Key.isDown...etc) to get this to work. if you are interested in why see below.here is the code:
myListener = new Object();
myListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode()==39) {[code]....
i want to publish my movie with WMODE set to transparent windowless. there is a glitch in flash that makes it so if(key.isDown(key.right)) sort of codes dont work in anything but IE when WMODE is set this way.

Basically it's a font called Scene Pro and it's Open Type. I have a guy working on a Mac and the font does this on his computer.But it's completely fine on my PC. It's the same font.He has Font Book and we disabled all the fonts except Scene Pro - and still this happens. We need this guy to do more work in Flash but on a Mac he's kinda held back a bit with the text behaving like this. I end up Publishing the file from my computer.

I have an empty movie clip instance on stage with x=y=w=h=0.0. Anytime I try to set a non-zero width or height in the properties palette, the corresponding x or y value goes insanely huge, sometimes negative. When I lock the padlock, and set width to 1.0, the other goes like "-1.$".

I get this error when I try to Auto format my script in an .as file inside flash CS3, though when I just check Syntax it says the script contains no errors. This is the error:
Code: ActionScript 2.0 class scripts may only define class or interface constructs. I just moved to CS3, and I use AS2 still, on flash 8 it didn't do that, so now I can't Auto format my .as files. I found out this question was asked on these forums and the answer was just not to use Auto format.

First, the tab areas of the window panes in Flash go blank.See:[url].....I could understand if I was working on a slow PC. My system scores a WEI of 7.2. I'm running Win7 Pro 64-bit. It's very bizarre and distracting. I have to open and close the windows to make them look normal again.Secondly, and even more importantly, Flash does not seem to compile any actionscript! I created a new AS3 file. I tried a simple trace command, and it won't even output the trace.
ActionScript Code:
trace("Hello?");
Why would it ignore everything in the AS pane? Even obvious errors ( import com.blah; ) don't cause problems.

I have an AD which is basically a flash file inside an IFRAME. Unfortunately, I cannot control the wmode of the flash file.
Is there any way in which I can place the div on top of the flash?
UPDATE: How does Wibiya (wibiya.com) do it then?

Here's the thing, I'm making a flash game that uses some pixel techniques like copypixels, bitmapdata, etc.
Im planning to offer the game to FGL (Flash Game License) and I read that they doesn't not allow wmode, and many other portals do the same.
is my game taking advantage of wmode=gpu?.. how can I run my swf file and disable wmode for sure?, I just want to know if my game will run smothly without that wmode enabled.

How do I enforce Flash's wmode=window on Mac? This mode should make Flash reside on a layer higher than normal HTML elements and have better performance. It's working fine on Windows. On Mac, there's strange results. Chrome on Mac will allow HTML elements to cover only non-video elements in Flash. On the other hand, Firefox on Mac will let HTML elements cover anything in Flash. I don't want to allow any HTML elements to cover anything in Flash on Mac.

I'm using a modal window on a client's site where we have no access to the content. The problem is that he has some flash on the page and the wmode for these is not set to transparent.
Is there a possibility to force their flash from our javascript to have this parameter added?

I need to embed some flash games but I'm disallowed to use wmode=transparent due to performance issues & sideFX. I need to place a DIV above the SWF, but without the wmode the SWF is always on top. Hiding the swf when div is visible resets the flash.

I'm building a Flash video player that uses the new StageVideo API. StageVideo requires window mode (wmode) to be set to "direct". Unfortunately, setting wmode to direct prevents the express install dialog from popping up if a user has a version of Flash Player older than 10.2.How can I set my wmode to direct to get StageVideo to work but also ensure the Express Installer pops up for users with older Flash Players?

When setting wmode to "opaque" (or transparent) my flash app becomes slow on Facebook. I can particularly notice it when moving the mouse around (even on a tiny area of the screen), if I don't move the mouse then the slowdown doesn't seem to happen. Maybe its because its sending all events to facebook too?

I have a html/flex app loaded in an iframe, and wmode is set to 'opaque'. I have 'mousemove' listener attached to the document of flex app and document of the parent. Once I mousedown in the flex part of iframe and move my mouse around, i can see the logs from the iframe. However, when I move the mouse around in the parent, i dont see logs from the parent. But, if I mousedown on the html part of the iframe, i can see logs from both iframe and parent. Same sort of bug is reported in Firefox 4/5, which breaks html part of it. Visit [URL]

I have a Youtube video on my homepage, and now I need a modal to display on certain events.For some reason, even when adding <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> to the Flash object, it still covers the HTML elements (with higher z-index too).I've got it on JSfiddle.I figured maybe an iframe could solve this, but that would require me to make a new page just to put the video on.

This would be for a Flash game within Facebook. If you have a Flash object in IE, when you use the up and down arrow keys it causes the entire browser to scroll. IF you have a game that requires the up and down arrows, this makes it very frustrating to play and just not acceptable. The wmode is set to opaque and needs to be that way. I understand keeping it at the default would 'fix' this problem, but then the game wouldn't work. Some people say "don't use IE". That would be nice, but that also is not an option.
The part that really stumps me, is that it was working just a few days ago. The solution that worked the first time was to set the container that the Flash object was embedded in with overflow set to auto. But the honeymoon only lasted so long. I'm not sure if Facebook made an API change that might break this. I reverted code that could have possibly the overflow trick not work. No luck, didn't work. We have also tried to put a text field to grab the focus of the Flash game in AS3, but that trick did not work either. We have tried to use JS in more than one way, but those were dead ends. I don't have an example page I can show at this point as the game has yet to be released to the general public.
I'm absolutely stuck at this point and haven't found a solution anywhere. Other people have had this problem but nobody seems to have an answer... if there even is one. The Flash object is losing focus as soon as you push the arrow keys, and no matter what I do I just can't seem to get it to grab focus.

We are writing app for facebook. It's a game written in flash and embeded with wmode window.We get problem with Firefox 6, but only on Windows XP. When user invoke some facebook dialog (for example: pay dialog or buying more credits dialog) flash disappears. This same happens when user click on notifications (globe icon in top facebook menu) and hold it for a while (however this is not so important).After flash disappears it it still in DOM as <object>.
