I wanted to know if it was possible to have a transparent swf sit over the whole of a html page? Basically I want to have a standard html page and create say an insect crawling over it, is this possible? I know about swfObject but I can't seem to figure out how to make the swf full screen AND to still see the html?

I've just started working on a Flash-based annotation tool. How it works is I place a transparent flash movie in a DIV over a HTML page and draw on it.Now the drawing part turned out to be fairly simple and I found numerous examples to get me free-form drawing. Its the erasing that's driving me nuts. All the examples out there I looked at either cleared the entire canvas, or let me click on specific drawings to take them off the canvas. I need an MS-Paint style eraser that just rubs things in its path.I could draw in white to simulate erasing, but that wont work. I have a transparent flash movie and the background HTML needs to show through.Here's the script for the drawing bit I picked up from Adobe, and on which I'm trying to build the eraser.
Code:
init();
stop();
function init() {[code]....
Is it possible to make the Background Color of the entire Flash Movie transparent?
View 1 RepliesHas anyone encountered weirdness with Firefox/Vista and wmode setting of transparent? It is the strangest thing, when I turn on wmode of transparent, my swf breaks! The actual swf acts as though the AS3 is broken (everything fails, buttons stop working, external assets do not load)... But when I turn off wmode of transparent then everything works fine.I have tried using a coulple different embed techiniques (one being swfobject) and both fail when using wmode of transparent, and only in FF/vista.
View 3 RepliesI have an invisible movie clip I want to go to the NEXT page, as it goes to that page, I want it to essentially remove itself (page1.swf). e.g. page1.swf (contains fancy.swf - [AS2], 4 images, several invisible MCs with code) has an invisible MC + on click = remove page1.swf.
To be clear, this does work. It goes to page2.swf and page2.swf goes to page1.swf as it should. The issue is that if the user repeatedly does this (just 2 or 3 times) the fancy.swf becomes impossible to control and Flash (CS5) crashes. I think this is due to the fact it's not unloading the entire thing, it's only unloading fancy.swf on click (I hope). So underneath page2.swf is page1.swf, and when the user clicks back to page1.swf, page2.swf AND page1.swf are underneath that, and so on and so forth.

My website will be basically selling services; will my SEO ranking still be affected if I embed the Flash site in a blank html page? I am at that critical point where I am ready to upload the site but I am just having second thoughts about the ease of doing business with Flash.
View 15 RepliesI am trying to embed a flash movie (.flv) into a webpage with a transparent background.
Requirements:
- Flv runs in transparent mode - I must be able to view html contents below.
- Movie does not auto play
- Movie is contained in a div and positionend absolutely using CSS
- No video controls or overlays, you shouldn't know it's an flv
- On load Movie is hidden
- Using jQuery, I click an image link to show and play the video, clicking it again stops and hides the video - vice versa
I have tried using Longtail Video Player with swfobject.js and javascript controls but no joy. Video is not transparent and controls with a click to play still feature.
Am I overcomplicating what appears to be quite a simple task.
I happy to explore any implementation.
Adobe flash embed parameters have been set correctly and wmode = transparent.

View 1 Repliesi am working on this project wherein the main frame has html content. Now is it possible to add a flash animation, let's say, an arrow that runs around and over the html the same way a higher level swf would do over an swf? is this possible on flash or is it strictly enforced through javasripting?

Let me ask how to program an html page to move to a new web page on user's clicking an item of an embedded flash movie? But , in detail, I actually want to do a little different thing. I want that the parent html page remains there ,instead I want a child html frame has a new page after user's clicking the list item of the embedded flash movie.
View 2 RepliesI have a site where all the pages have a common SWF embedded at the top (Nav and banner), but the rest of the page is HTML.Everything is working fine, but I'm finding the 'independence' between the HTML and Flash is making for some sloppy transitions from page to page.I was expecting the SWF to be delayed, at least for the first page visit(and I have a preload routine inside the swf to make it's delay and appearance a bit more visually pleasant), but was surprised to sometimes find the SWF appearing and playing while the HTML content was delayed (resulting in a SWF floating in black).What I'm wondering is if there's a way I can do some sort of preload on my index page.BUT, not the standard one that I'm sure everyone would suggest (like the javascript image 'preload', or the newer 'css visibility' preload trick). The problem with the standard one is that it doesn't check to see if everything is loaded.What I'm after is a routine on my index page that invisibly loads some of the elements from my inner pages (common swf, maybe some of the images) and WAITS until it's done before moving to the inner pages (displaying the company logo and/or a load status in the meantime).Many people would suggest a preloader inside the common SWF on my inner pages (which I have), but the problem with that on its own is that it doesn't stop the HTML from displaying.
I'm trying to figure out a way to do a preloader (like those in a SWF, which loops until everything is loaded) that controls both the SWF AND the HTML.Recently, I found that you can use one swf to preload another, which would be a potential solution, as I could make an SWF on the index page whose sole purpose is to load (invisibly) the common SWF, displaying the load status and then loading an inner html page once it's done.Problem is, I have bee having trouble finding the coding for that, as most searches for preloaders end up being about standard preloaders, where it's monitoring the same SWF that the code is on, as opposed to controlling a second, external SWF.Can someone point me to or provide me with the proper coding/procedure for a preloader that controlls a second external swf or give me a better solution?
one?
The thing is that once uploaded in DART, my ad is not transparent so we always see the white screen where the ad expands.I know this problem is normally solved with wmode=transparent but the thing is that the person can't have an html code to put the wmode code.I wonder how I can set my flash banner to be transparent without html codes..Using Flash CS4 with ACS2!

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to get my flash movie to pop out of the box, so I have an opaque background of 500 x 400, but the stage size (the total overall size) is 1000 x 800. Then I use a DIV tag to place the flash movie over the rest of my page, making it seem like the flash movie is only 500 x 400 but some items can pop out to anywhere inside the 1000 x 800. Up to here it works fine, but the problem is you can't click the HTML links that are beneath the transparent part of the flash movie. Is there a way to make the links clickable?

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.
View 2 Replieswhen you go to the home.html page an animation will play from start and then stop at the end of it. However, for all other pages i.e contact.html aboutus.html we need the animation to skip to the end straight away and not to play the whole animation through. I was thinking this would be controlled by a variable or some kind of external text file ect. Basically in the first frame the actionscript needs to basically say
"if this html page is aboutus.html then go to the last frame and stop" and with the index page it would say "if this html page is index.html then keep playing"
I want to set link of another html page on flash file.

I have a flash header for an html site that is about a megabyte and obviously needs a preloader. Unfortunately it won't work to have the preloader loading at the top while the rest of the html below is visible — it will end up looking like the top navigation is cut off, as the top 10 pixels of the nav bar is actually in the swf header (fully loaded it will look contiguous)Is there a way to preload it in one html page and then once it's loaded into the cache automatically jump to the page with the big swf?

I searched and searched.Anyway, I have a swf sitting in a layer above html text. It's set to wmode transparent, and looks fine. it stays small until rolled over, then the buttons slid out as expected. However, when the swf buttons are still hiding, the html text in the area that the swf buttons will eventually occupy is not selectable when directly clicked.
