So I've looked this up in a few different places, and the only answer I've seen is "style the span.sIFR-alternate element". Problem is, if I apply any styles to that element that will actually have it appear & be placed correctly, it shows up alongside the sIFR text when FlashBlock isn't present (e.g. in Safari/IE) or is disabled. Here's the default styles for .sIFR-alternate:

In my experience, the text rendering is better in flash 9/10 AS3. Are there any plans to get sIFR working with AS3?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to implement a large font for sIFR, but it seems to have a ceiling where you cant go any higher. I have adjusted the the variable MAX_FONT_SIZE within the sIFR.as to no avail. Is this possible or is it a limitation with flash?
View 1 RepliesMy sIFR 3 font replacement is working great in FF and IE except when I use it on a 'services' page that has an unrelated Flash object feature at the bottom. Only the first sIFR3'ed element shows up in IE on this page. I am also using jQuery 1.2.6 on this page to bring up random content. It is a windows xp pc.
In IE, the html on the 'services'page sIFR'ed elements has become garbled in the browser as I see when I view the source. Things like this: nodeIndex='1' and jQuery1307565945701='4' are added to the ul and li elements and should not be. The class 'sIFR-replaced' is not being added from sIFR like it is supposed to be.
The jQuery does not interfere with sIFR3 font replacement on my other pages because they don't have the extra Flash file on the bottom. The Flash file is a shockwave cab file, version 9,0,0,0 (that I did not add).I see this error in the console ' 'match(...).1' is null or not an object' but I got this same error elsewhere and it wasn't affecting anything.
I want to use a non-standard font on the web in a various combinations of font-color and font-size without having to assign individual configs for each. So far sIFR seems to pick up font-size no problem. but not font color, so I am working on a work around.
The problem I am running into: sIFR is breaking text to the next line without a linebreak <BR> being present.
[Code]...
For the sake of the project I am working on, it looks like setting the standard to block level elements only with font-sizes of 18px and above will be the route taken to keep from holding it up further, but I still have personal interest and would like to pursue understanding sIFR and the line breaking further.
I am new to Stack Overflow and am concerned this may be an 'extended discussion' which the FAQ says is beyond the scope of this site.
I am using sifr 2.0.7 and here's the deal. The sifr is working (I can see it in the DOM) however, the font is wrong.It doesn't pick up my swf font (DIN) unless you have it installed on your computer?The css font style is: HelveticaNeue which is what the sifr seems to render if you don't have DIN installed.I see it on my computer but my friend see DIN.
View 1 RepliesI have been trying to get sIFR 3 rev.436 working on my site but I stuck at publishing the movie. I did everything the instruction had told me to but when I published the movie and double clicked it to test, it failed, the movie was blank with the following error. Someone said the Action Scripts should be in the same folder as the sifr.fla, it was but it didn't help at all.
Scene=Scene 1, layer=code, frame=1, Line 19
The class or interface 'sIFR' could not be loaded.I was puzzled and after hours of looping in the situation I downloaded rev.432 and tested it out. To my delight, everything turned out right and I published the movie successfully!
Chrome has bundled a "native" flashblock for a while, as has the android browser. swfobject reports that the flash player is available, even if the block is enabled for all sites. All I want to do is detect that a user is using native flashblock, and provide some messaging. Certain services, like the Facebook JS SDK, do not work without flash enabled for cross-domain communication, and do not provide methods of detecting failure. I know how to detect an extension/plugin like the original flashblock, but the native version does not appear in the navigator.plugins list.
Is there a way to detect if a user is running with a native flashblock enabled?
I am having a problem with sIFR 3 not displaying in IE. I get 3 larges black XXX in IE yet it displays fine in Firefox. I have checked i do have the most recent version of flash installed correctly.

I am trying to use sIFR to replace the headlines (e.g. The Tour of A Lifetime) on this page: [URL] The font I want to swap in is Verlag by hoefler & frere jones. I had this working the other day but it suddenly stopped working: the font does not replace. All the js/css/flash files are linked correctly. I tested my verlag.swf and it works. And, I tested sIFR with a different font and the replacement worked. Am I having issues because I have yet to buy a Verlag license for the server?

I've got a demo page up here; you can view source to see what I'm trying to do. As you can see, everything about it seems to be working except for colors. I'm trying to set the color to blue (#0000ff), but it stays as black. I created a custom SWF file for my font, embedding four different variations of a single font in order to accommodate for different styles per these instructions (because this particular font family stores regular, bold, italic, and bold italic as four disjoint font names).
For posterity I'll paste some of the source code from that demo page I linked to here:

Ok, I'm using Jquery to build a dynamic menu, and sIFR to change the text to TrajanPro font.
This does not mix. I want to find a way to make it mix, though.
sIFR has automatic parsing of links, so that Flash sends you to the link location. What it doesn't do is pass on javascript triggers. I'm trying to make my menu as accessible as possible, by using hard links and then rewriting them with Jquery into managing the visibility of submenus, like this ~

One thing asked for a lot with sIFR is hyphenation.The only problem is that Hyphenator.as is written in AcionScript 3, while sIFR is in ActionScript 2.I found an AS2 to AS3 converter s3-converter-createtextfield-geturl-handling/ but the result examples.bezel.be/sIFR-as3.as is not working yet.

I'm replacing the <h2> element with sIFR 3, revision 436. Everything works great until I activate sIFR. The font is replaced just fine, but the heading can no longer be clicked even though the rest of the button can. I tried to add another <a> inside the <h2> heading but that broke the whole layout since multiple <a> tags can't be nested. Is there a "correct" way to fix this or should I work around it with something ugly like a z-indexed clickable blank.gif on top of the whole thing? Or is there something else wrong that I've missed?
I have integrated sIFR3 and it shows perfectly in my home page but not on any other pages. I never changed anything only the name of the font. Here is my sifr-config.js:

I have 5 image segments on a single PNG file. I am trying to get each of the 5 segments to "fly in" left and right and be revealed inside of a mask. It works, BUT only if I refer to a very old tutorial using onClipEvent, where the ActionScript is placed on the image's MC instance name (messy!). For some reason, I can only get this to work if I publish in Flash 6. Using ActionScript 2.0, I am trying to publish this as a version 8 SWF. Not sure what is deprecated, but onClipEvent seems suspect. I have tried (and failed) using onEnterFrame. The buttons no longer get that PNG to move left and right. It might be easier to see it, than explain what I have going on...

swfobject2 allows you to specify the id of the alternate text but I am unable to find any posts anywhere that show how it can be read from flash once the movie is loaded.
