View 2 RepliesI'm using Flash 10.3 in Firefox 7 and Chrome 14. I have some HTML and Flash content where the Flash, containing complex vector drawings with a transparent background, is layered overtop of the HTML. I use Flashes wmode=transparent setting to allow the HTML content underneath to be seen through Flash.
[Code]...
I made a webapp where I need html content to popup on top of the swf objects I have. I ended up using the swfobject setting wmode: "transparent" which works fine in all browsers (Chrome, safari, IE) except firefox. In firefox I can't click the flash buttons, i tried to remove wmode=transparent and, of course, I can click any button I need (all browsers)... but this way I can't put my html content on top...
View 2 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 RepliesIm going out of my mind trying to find a workaround to the supposedly well known ff bug [URL] regarding MouseScroll Events when wmode is set to transparent. I've spend a good part of a day googling for solutions, but nothing seems to work.
The majority of fixes are focused on the issue of being able to scroll down/up on the page, but im using the scroll to zoom in/out. An example can be seen here (its still a prototype so if anyone gets tempted to click on a box stay with nr 1 or 2 )[URL]
It works fine in IE (though im still working on making the zoom more elegant and smooth), but in FF, Chrome etc it wont work.
My embed code can be seen here
ActionScript Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
var params = {};

works perfect on my macbook pro (safari, firefox, and opera) but when I view the site on Vmare Fusion Windows XP and use IE and FireFox the pages don't load... I don't know what to make of this. Has anyone hear or seen anything like this happen before? BTW the website was created in Adobe Flash CS4/ AS 3.0 and published using Flash Player 10.
View 2 RepliesI imported a video into flash and have a transparent photoshop layer to create an iPod skin. The video works fine, but I cannot get the "stage" to be transparent so that you do not see the flash background color behind the iPod skin.
I've read in the forums and have followed the instructions here from Adobe. If you look at my code, I have

I'm trying to draw PNGs onto BitmapData that is transparent.
I create my BitmapData like this (using ARGB for the color):
new BitmapData(width, height, true, 0x00000000);
And clean it by using the same ARGB value:
bitmapData.fillRect(bitmapData.rect, 0x00000000);
When I use copyPixels() to draw graphics onto the cleaned BitmapData, I get this result:
If I don't use ARGB for the BitmapData color, it works fine:
But I have to specify a solid fillColor, meaning I can't render what's behind the Bitmap.
How can I make my BitmapData transparent, but not have the above occur?
I am creating a map in flash cs4 with all the countries on it. I used photoshop for creating the map and separated countries. Now I imported all pngs in Flash and I want to give Mouse CLICK event and Mouse Hover on all pngs, but as the transparent pixels are overlapping the other states, it is getting difficult. So, I converted all pngs in movieclips and now then I broke up pngs. Now I want to delete all pixels having alpha 0 using eraser tool, as per the borders. And I have to do it manually for individual countries. So is there a way to remove transparent pixels from the bitmap data?
View 2 RepliesI have two png's that kind of look like paint brush strokes. they have some transparency in them that lets the stage colour bleed through a bit.
I am adding two of these images to the stage in AS 3. One adds quite fine - looks as expected. The second one however doesn't have any transparency other than around its edges. What i mean is it looks more like GIF than a PNG. Rough around the edges, no transparency "inside" the image itself (where there should be)
i have tried re-creating the image (yes it IS a PNG) which did nothing. I ensured the library item is not being treated as a JPEG. I also even tried externally calling the PNG to see if that made a difference. Unfortunately it did not.
why this second PNG doesn't seem to have a transparency set?
I am trying to export these gifs with transparency and I am still getting the background with transparency selected in publish settings. Does anyone know a way to remove the background and just have a transparent gif?
View 20 RepliesI'm using copyPixels to copy a parts of a larger Bitmap to smaller Bitmaps to use for individual MovieClips. However, around there is still some extra space white space and corners around the Bitmaps' edges left over. How do I set the color white in the Bitmap to be transparent so I won't see these unsightly edges?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a rollover flash map of England. In the past I have simply got a map image, traced over each section and saved as a button with a rollover effect, job done.
However this time I have the various counties within England as individual png's with transaprent backgrounds. I have converted each of them into rollover buttons and every single button has its own layer on the timeline, but the problem arises as the mouse detects the square box around each png image, ignoring the transparency.
I want the 'hit area' for each button to just be non-transparent part of the png.
I have seen 'InteractivePNG': [URL] but am not great at actionscript and can't get it to work.
there are few comments i hear from other people. some say the axis of the carousel crooked and the icons are pixelated when they are scaled down. i m trying to add a transparent video of myself in the center but when i mask the carousel the embeded swf files also get the mask so i was wondering if there was a way to make the icons have alpha 0 when they are back all the way.. here s the link for the regular website [URL] and below is my actionscript

Here is the site. Works fine in all browsers, but firefox.[url]...
There is a two inch white gap on the top in firefox. I have tried everything, below is my html code. I'm using swfObject.[code]...
I have a problem in presenting Flash objects in Firefox. The code below works fine in IE, but not in Firefox.
[Code].....
The page is loaded with Flash player 9 in Firefox 3.5.5 for Windows XP. note that we can't afford to have the wmode value other than 'window.'Actually the phenomenon occurs only with the 'window' wmode.You can change the 'movie' value to whatever you want.
When the page is first loaded in Firefox, it looks normal (or not).But when you move the mouse over the video clips or play them,they start stepping on each other's toes:
The images are overlapped,and the intersection of the screen keeps flickering.
We played with this and that attributes or parameters,put the clips in <iframe>s,but none of them succeeded.
PS: I'm not sure whether it is Firefox or Flash that's causing this.If this is not the right place for a question like this, I offer my apology.
I have Flash project that I have placed in Dreamweaver and when I test it, it's not showing up on Firefox, but it does in IE. I'm publishing .swf, html, and .exe and .app. Is it the way I'm publishing it or is it in Dreamweaver?

I have a flash component written in flex which reads a xml file and shows up its data. This works fine in IE and Chrome, but not in Firefox.When i used fiddler to check for the problem, it started working fine.And now i have come to the conclusion that when fillder is running in the background and i access the flash component it works fine (reads all the xml data and shows it up), but when i close fiddler and do the same....i get the following error, "Error reading {myfilename} file."
View 2 RepliesI wish to get some data from a flash site. Now it is not possible to get the data directly from html. Now I have noticed using firebug that a xml file is sent to the browser containing the data I want, when I click on certain parts of the flash site. Is there any way to automate this?

ive created my website and majority of it is flash. The problem is it that it works in every other browser except mozilla firefox and I usually get the message saying i need to install the latest flash version or update. I did that and it still doesnt work. It is my portfolio website so i need to resolve this on my end so when potential clients or employers look at it it works and they dont need to change any settings if that is the problem...but i also tried that and it didnt work (making it a trusted site, enabled javascprt)
View 3 RepliesI recently created a flash holiday card which displays perfectly in both Chrome and Safari but will not display in Firefox. I can hear the music playing but can't see any of the images. I've updated to the latest version of Firefox and updated the Adobe Flash Player. I don't have any plugins or extensions installed and have tested this on 3 different computers.
View 2 RepliesI've been using an auto updating XML slideshow that updates every so often. Fine when i preview it in IE...fails miserably on Firefox. It won't display the images. Are there differences in the way Firefox deals with Flash or am I missing some kind of setting in Firefox as I've only recently downloaded it.
View 14 RepliesIs it possible to make flash file with transparent background. I want to make animated buttons on transparent background, so you can see background image in wordpress under the buttons.
View 5 RepliesI have been trying for weeks on this project but I know it can be done. I shot a subject in front of a green screen and he wants a Flash movie of just him (the subject) and no background. I told him it could be done. I shot a 1 mintue video using the old DV rack to make the green screen fairly good. I imported the avi clip to Premiere Pro 2 and used the chromakey ( Color key on some tries) to remove the green screen whereas the background was black. I saved it and exported it as a quicktime movie, animation compressor codec, millions of colors square pix. Then I used Flash CS3 and imported the video to the library by On2 VP6 codec with the alpha channel selected. I created two layers, layer 1 a jpeg image. I highlighted layer 2, dragged the FLV playback to the stage and made sure layer 2 was about layer 1. I saved and tested it but the background is still there. I have tried several ways; saved a flash file from Premiere Pro2 and imported it with CS3 Flash encoder following the same steps. I even loaded and older version of PPro 1.0 and followed a tutorial exactly. The FLV plays well but I can't see the image from layer 1 because the background is black and not transparent. All I want is a transparent background where the subject is there without a background. I have Ultra 2, Visual Communicator, I can make a background of anything but I can't seem to make a background transparent!
View 6 RepliesIn Flash CS4, when I draw a rectangle (or circle, or anything) with a color that has 0 alpha, nothing is drawn. Also, if I select a piece of drawing and change the color to 0 alpha, the drawing (e.g. rectangle) disappears!I know I can draw a non-transparent rectangle, convert it to movie clip and set the movie clip's alpha to 0, but I'd like to avoid this.
View 5 RepliesI've been getting reports from users that certain objects are invisible in my flash banner.The browser culprit is IE 8 (but someone also reported seeing this in IE 6). I have been unable to duplicate this and therefore, find it very difficult to troubleshoot. I do have the Wmode set to transparent, but I've made it opaque and still had the "invisible" reports. Here is the site:
View 2 Repliesthere is only one or two threads that come up post 2006 regarding this.I have a flash banner that I am using for a website, and I'd like the stage and background to be transparent so it shows the background (webpage background) gradient.
I know about the WMODE transparency, however, I'm not actually using an HTML file, rather and going to embed this SWF at the top of a wordpress site in the header, so I don't think that the WMODE really matters anyway.I can't believe that even in 2010 (ok almost 2011!) that Flash doesn't support transparency yet, but I've been proven wrong beforeThis is a super simple SWF.....not even any real navigation in it.
How do I get graphics I create in Photoshop to be transparent in Flash?
