Actionscript 3 :: Wmode="opaque" Causes Selection On Textarea To Behave Wierdly After Mouse Is Pressed And Left Stage
Oct 11, 2010
I m using textarea in flash 10 cs5 as3. The problem is when i try to select a text and go out of stage and leave the mouse then again move mouse on text then selection of text will move with the mouse.
Here is what causes that:
* click somewhere on the text and drag the mouse in order to select the text
* then go out of the swf
* leave the mouse
* now move mouse on textarea
the selection of text will move with the mouse. How to stop this behavior? I tried to implement mouseleave on stage but the problem is i m not able to detect mouseleave event when mouse is pressed and it leaves the stage.
This is because of wmode="opaque" parameter. I found out that it doesn't do this when wmode="window". Is there a solution for this?

How to stop this behavior?I tried to implement mouseleave on stage but the problem is i m not able to detect mouseleave event when mouse is pressed and it leaves the stage.
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?
As stated in the title, I am now trying to create a chart using Google visualization: annotated time line. It's very easy to use and the documentation is fairly easy to understand as well. You can find the documentation here.I run into a problem about the wmode of the chart which is a flash object.The default value of the chart's wmode is "window" and it will always overlay all HTML objects in the same page. That is very annoying, because even the jquery block() method doesn't work on it.
When I change the chart's wmode into "opaque" or "transparent" the chart will not overlay HTML objects with higher z-index, but it doesn't recognize the mouse scroll event. It still catch the mouse click event though.I have tried it in the following browser:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.6.12 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 5.2; U; en) Presto/2.7.62 Version/11.00 Safari 4.0.5 (531.22.7) IE 7.0.5730.13
Only the IE can catch the mouse scroll even, the others couldn't recognize it.
can someone please explain to me why i cant write Russian or France or Hebrew or any other utf char when i am embadding my swf with opaque wmode??
is there a way to work around it? i have an HTML script with flash inside it and the text filed in the flash wont except any language other then English everything else is gibberish
I am new to AS3 (LAMP dev) i looked everywhere but no decent answer
I'd like to change all occurrences of wmode to opaque. Is this easily done via jquery? In the object definition, wmode is set to opaque but in the params it becomes transparent.
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]
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.
How to dynamically add wmode="opaque" to already displaying embed elements? Without reloading the elements, the embedded content should not lose its state.
Just setting the wmode attribute with javascript doesn't work.
Removing the element and then adding it again makes wmode take effect, but the flash element loses its state, among other problems. E.g if it's a video player its position/playback status resets. So that solution is no good.
Any other way of displaying content over the embedded element is acceptable as well.
(I'm doing this trough a content script in a Chrome extension if that is of any help.)
This is not a duplicated of How to dynamically add wmode=transparent to Youtube embed code? as there the parameter is added to a frame and not directly to the element it self.
I have found that events Events.ACTIVATE and Events.DEACTIVATE do not fire in the browser when wmode = transparent or when wmode = opaque. This is found when the swf is published with or without fullscreen mode capability.However, the events do fire:In the standalone player, such as opening the publised swf locally ( not using a browser ) In the browser when wmode = window
My Goal:Is to detect Events.ACTIVATE and Events.DEACTIVATE with a swf that has been published with fullscreen capability, where the wmode = opaque. ( I have found that when in fullscreen and wmode = window, mouse interactivity events, such as clicks, do not fire. Mouse interactivity is something I need, which I get with wmode = transparent or opaque. )
FYI:I have found that when wmode = window, the DEACTIVATE event fires both when entering and leaving fullscreen mode. The event ACTIVATE does not fire when entering fullscreen mode or when returning to the browser from fullscreen ( user presses Escape, etc ). In the event the user switched to a different window, the DEACTIVATE event fires. When the user returns to the browser, the ACTIVATE fires in IE but does not fire in Firefox until the user clicks in the swf
Setup: Flash CS4 Using the Flash published HTML ( wmode = transparent / opaque ) Firefox 3.6.6 ( Windows XP Pro ) IE 8.0.60 ( Windows XP Pro )
I have spent the last 2 weeks searching the web for a tutorial on content scrolling. I have a movieclip/graphic that I want to scroll from left to right on the stage. Example of what I am trying to do: [URL] but without the vertical scroll. There seems to be a couple of AS2 tutorials around I doing it in AS3.
I know we can track when the mouse has left the stage area in AS3.
But, can it reset a button that would have stayed in its "on" state?
My swf will be embedded in a web page, there are 24 buttons all around its border, and as soon as the mouse leaves the stage, they stay "on", so I want to reset them to the initial state.
Ok so first I was having 2 issues with default wmode of "window". My web page navigation menus would go under my flex/flash app. The other issue was when scrolling in the flash app the whole page would scroll.
I changed wmode to "opaque" and this fixed the issue with the navigation menus and so now they show up above the flash app. Thats great but now I dont have scrolling at all in the flash app. I realize this is a big issue out there but I can't seem to find any solutions for solving both(actually 2.5 issues) of these problems.
I would like to A) Have navigation links show up above the flash app so they aren't hidden; B) Allow scrolling within the flash application; and C) Prevent scrolling of the web page if the mouse is over the flash app.
I've got a small problem with my flash site. I've got imported html text on my site and scroll buttons on the side. But when you click on a button. It tends to not display the text properly when you scrolled down on a previous page. What I would like is that when you click on a button it unloads the previous text. Because I don't know what could be the solution for this I uploaded the .fla

I have a very simple piece of code but it has one very annoying bug. When I press the button a second time, the code doesn't work. The only way to get the code to work is by moving the mouse a tiny bit, or moving the mouse off the button and back on. make a button that can be clicked many times without moving the mouse?
I have designed a menu that When you mouse over it, a custom cursor appears. When you mouse down it disappears and when you mouse up it returns. If you happen to mouse down and then drag the mouse off of the menu (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up outside the menu, the custom cursor disappears. All good. The only issue is: If you happen to mouse down on the menu and then drag the mouse off of the menu AND off of the stage, i.e the SWF (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up completely off of the stage, the custom cursor appears at the point it left the menu. I have tried to fix this using MOUSE_LEAVE but this dosnt work when the mouse button is pressed down. I have attached an FLA, SWF and the AS below.
I have created an animation (see attached) where the stage can be dragged from left to right to reveal hidden areas off the edge of the stage. Unfortunately I need to add buttons containing links to websites within the dragable movie symbol and I can't work out how to do it.
I have map of the world (in photoshop) where each continent is in separate layer and separate coloured. How can I make link in flash of each continent. I want mouse hover over the exact colour (continent). My problem is that mouse hover always over the whole selection box of object (whole rectangle).
I've got a very strange problem with textfield selection.[code]This happens when i load a certain swf into my main swf.When all items are created, i set the focus to the first textfield.This all works fine, now the problem is, this selects the whole text in the textfield. But when i click in the textfield to set the focus somehwhere in the middle of the text this doesn't happen.. you can see the focus disappearing, but right after it selects the whole text again.When i click another textfield, or somewhere else in the application it works fine.. it also works when i press teh arrow keys first.So in short, i cannot remove the selection with the mouse, until i remove the selection with either the keyboard or by removing the focus from the textfield first.i've tried putting a textfield off stage and putting the focus there first but to no luck there.I've also tried to use [code]I've been looking and google-ing this problem for a while now, but can't find the solution.It's not giving me a headache yet, but my boss is nagging to get the problem fixed
I would like to develop a program where a user(children in this case) could draw a selection and the program to detect the selected objects in that selection.I have also attached an image of the idea.redirects to threads, anything is of great use. I remember playing a game where you had this functionality, but I can't remember the game name
Im 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 = {};
I made a button and want do something when mouse is press, I mean when mouse is pressed that button should do its job. When button release scale of image will increase, now, I want it to do while mouse is pressed.should I use loop or conditional statement?
