"I have a site I made that I am streaming video on, its starting to look pretty cool but
the menu I made in CSS is always under the video so some of the links dissappear behind the object, does anyone know if I can fix this, I think I tried z-index one time to no avail?
I am working on a department website that needs to be standards compliant (xhtml 1.0 transitional), but embedded flash keeps breaking the validation. We use the <embed> tag because we need to support most major browsers.
We can't use external tools, since the site is managed through a system and the admins don't like us putting extra tools (like JavaScript libraries etc) that could interfere with their template engine.
How widely supported is the object tag? Is it safe to use only the <object> tag and remove the <embed> tag all together?
I need to get variables that are passed from my html object and/or embed tags, so I can use them in my flash project.
for example: src="/incl/flash/Line_Graph.swf?a=value1&id=1"
how can I get a and id inside my flash file?
I'm working on a project which allowing end users to embed a flash in their own HTML pages while we offer different ways so user could choose one that works for their circumstances, for example, most blogs doesn't welcome users to inject JavaScript on their pages, therefore SWFObject wouldn't be possible, we offered two other ways: IFrame and the oldie but goodie Object/Embed pair. Just like old Youtube embedding code:

I'm trying to retrieve values that are embedded in the object tag on the HTML page. Is this possible? I've been trying to find how to do this, but all hits point out to how to embed flash in HTML and rarely do I find on which tells me how to retrieve data from HTML into flash.
Example:
Code:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
[Code].....
How can I simply trace the value in flash??? Just for now, all I want to know is if I make a dynamic text box in flash, can it display the name of the .swf by reading the param?
I have HTML file, I changed its extension to .XML.I'd like to convert HTML tags to valid XML document using AS3.

trying to work with "simple" XML for the first time. I'm building a small CMS for a Flash based site and the content is held in an XML file. My problem is that many of the copy fields are XML CDATA fields. on the one hand, with:
$xml = simplexml_load_file($file, 'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);
I can pull the data out of that node and the CDATA tags are stripped. My issues come with trying to save the data with:
file_put_contents($file, $xml->asXML());
Problems are: a) tags are interpreted with their HTML entity equivalents. I don't want this to happen.I gather this is coming from the asXML method because even if I do anhtml_entity _decode on the $_POST data it's still being converted.
b) because of the above, there's no way to add the CDATA tags because they also have their charachters converted.
I am looking for a very basic html editor (similar to the one being used in this forum to make entries - only more basic)...which ONLY uses html tags supported by the AS2 textfield....

Everything works fine BUT 2 things: First, font colors tags don't work. If ever I use sth like <font color='0xadadad'>...</font> it won't work. However, if I use <u>...</u>, it works fine
Second, the <a href='...'>...</a> does not work either. I checked in several websites, and the solution would be to set the selectable property of the text to true.
I was wondering if flash can load html document, the way browser displays it.

View 1 RepliesI seem to have the [Embed] tag working OK for embedding fonts But I want to specify font and font location in an xml file, read in the font location, and pass it into the [Embed] statement. Like this
var xFont = xFormat..navcontrols.font;
//then...
[Embed(source = xFont, fontName = 'myFont', mimeType = 'application/x-font-truetype')]
var csgFont:Class;
The error I get is
'unable to resolve 'xFont' for transcoding
I want to keep this all in AS3 if at all possible. I dont want to use the Flash IDE to create embedded fonts. I would ideally like to minimize the impact of changing a font.
I posted this in one of the other sub-forums before I realised this one was available. I am moving over to using the Flex based embed metadata tags to import assets into my Flash CS4 IDE based project. This is working very well but I have hit one small problem - how do you now create a pre-loader? I've done the usual google to look for a solution and found many Flex based solutions and tried them all out but they do not appear to work from within a CS4 IDE based project - even when tried out on a web page.
View 5 RepliesTo get flash to sit behind html elements on a page I read that I have to add this inside the object tag:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
And this to the embed tag:
wmode="transparent"
Is it necessary to add both? Because in FF I got it to work with just the second, just wondering if that may cause issues in other browsers and devices.
Trying to bring in an xml document that contains HTML tags but I can't seem to get it working.
I have a bit of AS and a basic text field in a movie clip for now. I've pared it down as simply as I can to the following AS:

I have an XML document that contains CDATA nodes with <BR> tags. I'm importing the XML and displaying it in a text box, but unfortunately the text box is actually displaying the <BR> tags, rather than inserting line breaks. I've set the text box to "Render text as HTML", and I've applied the XML data through htmlText, but it's still not working. If I insert text into the text box manually it will render as HTML, as in:
Code:
textBox.htmlText = "Testing...<br>Testing...";
But if I apply the XML node, it just displays the <BR> tags, like this:
Code:
textBox.htmlText = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
I've included a .zip attachment that contains a sample .xml and .fla file that illustrates the issue I'm having.
This is a typewriter effect but i need the XML to also read and render HTML. right now it just types out normal text and if you insert HTML it types out the HTML instead of actually rendering it.I need to insert a small image after every item in the XML.
Code:
package com.dhmpire {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;

View 2 RepliesI have several paragraphs of text that is using the scrollBar component to give me some scrollability that part works fine. I also have the "render text as html" box checked because I have some HTML formatting going on. Anyway, all of a sudden the published SWF file started ignoring the bold tags <b>. It used to work fine. Now, anywhere that I have text surrounded by <b> HTML tags, it just omits that portion of my copy once the file is published. When I change the tags to <strong>, the text comes back, but in a normal font both with the fonts embedded and without ... neither makes a difference with this issue. I've also tried checking and unchecking the "render text as html" box and that doesn't seem to make a difference. Has this bold tag become deprecated? I'm having difficulty get a font to display as bold.

Is there a way to read html tags from xml files as a text and then display them in a text box with htmlText?
I know one way of doing that is replacing anyother letter instead of "<" or ">", but the client will directly replace html text in the xml file
I'm creating a new website, and it has to be fairly dynamic. So, I load everything through one XML document. Now, depending on the content of a certain child in each menu, it loads a new page. There are going to be about 10 pages, to choose between.
So, I start coding, and all the content works fine, but my html tags won't work. I've activated the "render as html" button, in the textField parameter (the instance name is: "nyhedText"). I've also written, nyhedText.html = true; and nyhedText.htmlText = theContent - not the exact same names, but it is the same code.
My entire code for the page is:
[AS]// defines the variable model1_spacing
var model1_spacing = 0;
// defines the variable model1_count
var model1_count = 0;

I am pulling data from an xml file which has HTML tags in it. I need the HTML tags for the on-screen display, but I am also using printJob to print what's on the screen. The problem I'm having is that when I run printjob it prints all the HTML too. Is there a way to remove the HTML tags? Maybe some sort of script? I'm thinking I could search for the beginning "<" and the end ">" and remove them and what's in between, but I'm not really sure how to go about this.
View 3 RepliesI'm importing an XML document into a flash movie. The XML is using HTML tags so that I can highlight certain words and use HTML links in the text field the data is being loaded into.
But the issue I'm having is that all of the < and > tags and all information within it being displayed within the text field.
The text field's html property is true. The text field's multiline property is true. In the XML document, the text that I'm having load into this text field is separated by the CDATA tag so that it doesn't get parsed out.
I just can't figure it out. Before I used the CDATA tag, I put all the necessary < and > tags in place, and I'm getting the same results.
I don't know why everything is being displayed even though I'm rendering this text as HTML.
