ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Lightwindow To Create An Overlay That Displays The Links / Images / Video / Firefox
Mar 5, 2009
i have an swf placed into a html doc - the swf creates thumbnails and links that create a sort of videowall effect - the links come via xml. i am using lightwindow to create an overlay that displays the links/images/video etc... so here is the problem - if i open it with firefox on a mac - and choose say the youtube link - it opens lightwindow brings in the flv briefly - then the flv vanishes leaving a white void where the player should.
but if i add the same link to the html and click it, that works as it should do - ie the youtube flv apprears and you can click and play it etc... Safari on a mac works a treat - and loads and then plays the flv. is this just a bug in FF for the mac - or mac&pc? doesn't FF like flash and youtube together or something? or is there a work around? my tester is here could any pc heads tell me if the lightwindow works at all on their windows browsers? and tell me what versions you are on?

I've hit a brick wall here. I have a Flash file that displays fine in IE. It also displays fine when ran as a SWF. However, in FireFox, it does not display my scroller. I developed the Scroller component dynamically... everything is drawn from scratch, no library movieClips, etc. I'm starting to think that could be the cause? I've tried many different things:

I've tried many different things: Changed the HTML code to bare bones embedding code.Recompiled in Flex.... same result!Tested on another computer... it worked fine! However, I tested on another computer with FireFox... same problem.
It's so weird.I seperated the Image Slide show component from the Scroller... the scroller had the same effect... didn't display in FF.Played around with WmodeChecked my code for addChild problems, visibilty, alpha properties... nothing out of the ordinary.Asked God.Drank some Gin.Took a break and came back to it.I've reseached Google and the most I could come up with is to compile using FP10. It is FP10. I'm using CS3 and FlashDevelop. When I right click on my Flash file, it does indeed display FP10. Same with Flex.

I posted a question similar to this not so long ago however I have trawled through the forums and could not find an answer...I am using Lightwindow which is a version of lightbox that can have ANY form of content and DOES support .swf files.I have linked the test link on my page to activate lightwindow and open the swf file. Light window opens the window to the correct size but does not display any content. If I go directly to the flash file then all the test images load.Here is the code for that link:
<a href="http://www.monsterbox.co.uk/ollie/lightwindow/gallery/gallery.swf" class="lightwindow" params="lightwindow_width=800,lightwindow_height=345" >Link Name</a>
I understand that something along the lines of

Is there a way to create a url link on an image loaded from an xml file. So for example in my photo gallery, I have my set of thumbnails which when clicked on would show the larger image. I'd like to click on the larger image and have another window popup and go to the proper url with an even larger image.[code]...

I'm building a flash app that will go full screen. I need to ensure it's usable at a variety of resolutions.I can overlay them fine, but the problem is I now can't interact with the app, because when I click on some part of the UI, it thinks I'm clicking on the image, since it's technically in front. I want the image to be in the front at a visual level, but without it having any bearing on the keyboard/mouse interaction with the app.My fall back is to create a series of 1pixel wide lines, which will still be in the foreground mouse/keyboard wise, but I can cope with losing that much interaction ability.

I have a flex 3.2 project (AS3) that causes Firefox to display a blank page a few moments before the .swf file is loaded and I have no idea why.
I am using swfobject2 to load the swf file, but this also happens without it using just object/embed tags.I am testing on localhost with disabled cache in Firefox, although it sometimes also occurs with the cache enabled. The size of the swf file is about 250kB and uses RSL for the framework. I also tested with other file sizes (see below).[code]...

I am looking to create a flash gallery which imports images from a mysql datbase and links associated to the image which will also be in the databae . The idea is to show the user in a carousel style the last picture added to the database at the front and if that or any other picture within the carousel is clicked another swf will load.Using php will do I just don't know where to start.

the following page should include two FLV files - one near the top of the page and one near the bottom.

Works properly in IE8 and Firefox 3.5.5 - however in the latest Chrome and Safari only the topmost FLV displays. FLV embedded with Dreamweaver CS4.

I have a page that loads in links from an XML into an Array and displays them. When you rollover each link it is supposed to turn red. My problem is that I can only get it to make the last link to turn red. Also, when you rollover any other link the last one turns red. I need a way to set up a variable for each link. I have attached the files so you can see what I mean.

Explaination: MX 04' Pro Thumbnail Nav. loading images with XML Loader resizes and displays images when users click on Nav. reading XML Problem: Users click Thumbnail Nav. first image gets loaded and loader resizes to image. However the next choice by user on thumbnail click, the second image doesnt get resized in the loader. It goes beyond holder. Here is my code for Thumbnail and Loader:
[Code]....
Now the first image loads fine and the loader sizes to file from XML. However, when users click second choice from Thumbail the loader doesnt resize to new image size. It only gets resized on the first selction or if users click the next or prev. buttons then the images fade correctly but nothing fades back in. Now if they do hit next or prev and then hit a thumbnail option it loads and resizes.

I've noticed a bug with the new firefox 4 and Mac os x.
I can't post here a link because i don't have enough posts. But if you use a mac and Firefox 4, could you make this simple test.
See a flash animation online and see that when you mouse over a link, the cursor doesn't transform with a hand cursor.
If you try with chrome, safari, camino, it works.
You can also make this test :

I 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 have seen loads of cool sites with video that have an overlay of dots sitting over the video. I guess this is in part for a design aesthetic, and the other to reduce the visible amount of pixellation from the compression.Can anyone tell me how to create this sort of effect dynamically, or am i going to have to duplicate a million movieclips? And if i do, will this affect performance?

I installed flash cs4 the other day and ever since firefox will popup annoying errors. Its probably some debugger, but i want it disabled cause it comes up 5-6 times in a row when i browse the internet, (usually will happen on facebook or some youtube vids in blogs). the error starts like this: TypeError #1009 I will paste the whole thing in this thread the next time it happens, but i'm pretty sure the error itself doesn't matter, i think some debugger was installed in firefox when i installed flash cs4.
btw I want to make a multiplayer risk game for facebook in flash. think it will be hard? i'm already well versed in php and mysql. but i don't know any flash. i want my flash app to communicate with the server without reloading. is that easy with actionscript? will i need to learn AJAX as well?

how to overlay a picture/watermark onto live stream published from a client? (like TV stations do).Can this be encoded into the stream in realtime by FMS so client could not record/view a clear stream? (for example overlay watermark for non-paid subscribers).I don't want to do this on client side because then someone can build custom app to play a stream without the overlay. Or is FMS4's SWF Verification so good, that I don't need to be worried?
