I have been looking round the web trying to find a way of embedding a swf floating over the webpage but just cant find anything about it. An example of what I am talking about would be: www.widgetbox.com where if you click "Get Widget" at the bottom of a widget, it launches a flash popup over the whole webpage that moves with the page and disables any links on the webpage itself.

I'm loading a toolbar that goes over the content of a website that is reviewed. The toolbar has some information we can fill in about the website we're reviewing. There is a problem when there's flash embedded in the original page. Our toolbar will show up behind the flash movie, so we can't use the toolbar as intended. Since we don't have control over the page that is loaded we can not alter the settings of the embedded video.
The question is: how can we make the DIV appear floating above the FLASH even though we don't have control over the embedded flash object?
I have a flash swf file that displays some training information that must go out to about ten thousand people in our organisation. Maybe only 70% of people have the flash player installed on their work PC's and IT have the systems locked down so tight this remaining 30% can not install flash player themselves. Flash is only rolled out with new PC's.
View 3 RepliesI am not sure whats going wrong but when I am using a flash file in the web page when I am setting size
style="width: 445px; height: 386px"
white strips are embedding sideways automaticaaly,,while using the same page with size
width="450" height="440"
no white strips appear.It might be the problem associated with the aspect ratio.Is there any way to set these white strps to transparent?
I have created a flash movie using actionscript 3 and an xml file with a list of images for a slideshow. After clicking publish, I can view the slideshow by previewing the html file it creates for you. However, I want to embed this flash movie in a different web page. When I try to add it in Dreamweaver, by dragging and dropping the swf file into the page, a flash placeholder is generated, but the movie does not play when previewed. It is just blank white space.
Now I watched the Tom Green tutorials on "flash the easy way" and my flash (CS4 professional) did NOT generate the AC_RunActiveContent.js files. I did find and download the file and manually added it to my Scripts folder. Still no joy.
I will note that the html file that embeds the flash video is in a different directory than the movie itself. Surely this cannot be the issue, otherwise people's websites would be incredibly messy with multiple flash videos. I am trying to put all the flash movies in their own child directories of a /flash directory to keep them neat and organized.
I am not sure what to do next. How do you make the dang thing play on a web page that is in another directory?
I need to make a Flash animation fullscreen. After a bit of research it seems I can only feasibly do this via a browser, since the Windows 7 preview does not support fullscreen.
I followed the steps of this website; [URL]
However, I'm having a problem embedding the flash file into a simple HTML document. The file is called "LaBoheme.swf" and is stored in the same directory as my HTML file. Hence, here is my code;

The problem is simply that the flash animation does not appear. I get the feeling I'm making a rookie mistake here
I have an average carousel flash component I downloaded... It would be easy to embed into an html webpage but I need it in a flash webpage that I am building...I figured I could put the whole thing into a movie clip and stop on that frame and the carousel animation would work fine but all it does is loop my animation... Even with the "stop();" at the end... My skills are pretty basic in Actionscript...

im having loads of difficulty with a really simple piece of actionscript.I've actually build something similar to this before, but im totally lost as to how I did it last time.Basically, I have a site im working on, and its a liquid style flash site, where, when the browser is resized, so is the content/layout. As part of the project, when the content expands/contracts I want the main movie clip to remain in the middle. eg. if some new content gets displayed on the left of the clip, move the master clip along so its always centered. hmmm... little hard to explain in english, so i've attached a fla file..I've got pretty much all the code working, but for some reason, it just isn't accurate... its doing something though, which makes my head hurt even more... and just to totally throw a spanner in the works, when you resize the player, the calculations go totally way off

I can make a movie clip float in the middle of the stage but not in a movie clip.
I'm an ActionScript noob so I'll try as best I can to explain what I need to do. I have a project where I need to have a floating window that controls a main timeline. The idea is to have a floating window that can be seen only by the operator. This window would control the main timeline or content on a separate screen viewable to the audience. So I'll be using a dual monitor setup. The controller window would have about 40 buttons on it that would turn items on or off on the main timeline. This seems like a relatively simple thing to do but being the noob that I am I'm not sure how to go about it. I essentially need one flash file, the controller, to talk to the other one, the content.
View 3 RepliesHere's what I'm trying to do. The user types a number, such as 12.011, in an input box. I want to check to see if the number they typed is between two numbers, such as 12 and 12.1.Therefore, I want to convert the string in the input box to a float number, not an integer, so I can check to see if it's in the correct range. How do I convert a string into a float number?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to convert the byteArray of a Sound Object to an array with floats. The Sound Object plays back fine & at full length, but the float Array i get from it is cut off (but sounds correct), so i must be doing something wrong in the conversion:[code]The top two channels are the original Sound Object.The lower two is the float Array Data. I aligned them so you can see that the beginning is cut off and obviously the length is incorrect.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to make an array of 3 floats in Actionscript 1.0, but instead of incrementing the X & Y variables by 1, it just adds 1 to the end of the previous value. This has nothing to do with Flash, it is being used for an extension for a server that requires extensions in Actionscript 1.0.

View 3 RepliesI want to implement a gameplay recording feature in a project, which would only record player input and seed of the RNG at the beginning of the level. Then I could take such record and play it on my computer in order to test it for validity.I'm only concerned with some numerical differences which might appear between different Flash Player version, Operating Systems or CPUs (or whatever else that might be affected). The project would be written for Flash Player 10.0.0+. What stuff I am concerned with:

I won't be using stuff like hitTest, getObjectsUnderPoint, hitTestPoint, getBounds and so on, all collisions will be geometrical.So, are there any chances that using any of the pointed things above will yield different results on different systems? If so, what can I do to avoid them?
I'm using BlazeDS to marshall Java objects to Flex. What I'm seeing is that if a Java Float holds a integer value (whole number, such as 123), then it gets marshalled to a ActionScript int. I would expect that a Java Float always gets marshalled to an ActionScript Number as documented in the BlazeDS Developer Guide.
Is there a way to configure this or is this just a BlazeDS bug? Follow-up: The float is contained within a map. The Java map that is being passed to BlazeDS looks something like:

So it's serializing the value correctly, just as the wrong type.
I just started learning Flash Actionscript.
this._y = random(Stage.height)-(this._height/2)-Stage.height-200;

How I can determine whether number divides without float point? Example: 8 / 4 = 2 but 9 / 4 = 2.25 Is any function in AS3 for it?
View 1 RepliesI want to place MCs in various places on top of an html background. the code for the background is here:

Its not officially a background image, but I want it to stay the same no matter what is being played...
The problem is that when I Rollover on the buttons it changes the position and floats.

View 2 RepliesI'd like to convert an arbitrary string (or for easier process a string hash) to a float number between 0 and 1. The purpose is to create a function that returns a color code for a given string so the user always sees that entity in the same color that is generated from its name.OP included this code in comments (included here for readability):
var hashed:String = MD5.hash(input); // creates a 32 long hexa
const max:Number = Number("0xffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff");
var hashedHexa:Number = Number("0x" + hashed);
[code]....
var myNumber:Number = 1.8;
trace(myNumber);
The above gives "1.7999999999999998"
conversion of String(myNumber) also gives "1.7999999999999998"
This only happens with certain numbers. If (myNumber == 1.4) it doesn't give me this problem.
I've checked with the debugger and the values are correct both before and after the trace or String conversion. However, the string itself is incorrect.
