Html :: IE Displays Flash Movie With Wrong Height Using Swfobject?
Mar 16, 2012
I have a full screen flash movie that loads and displays correctly in firefox and chrome. In IE, however, it displays at 1/3 the width. The embedded code is relatively simple:
I have made a flash banner in flash cs4. Everything is ok except that it displays the wrong font when viewing the webpage in ie7 on a pc. The font in the swf file is a mac only font but the text that it is displaying is a graphic symbol. Do i need to embed this font in the swf file?
I am developing an animated homepage for a Flash-HTML hybrid website, and for the sake of standards, my solution is proving difficult.
Here is the run-down:
For Flash users, HTML page loads a variable-height AS3 Flash movie that will start at 556 pixels high, and after finishing its animation sequence, tween via Actionscript + JavaScript to 250 pixels high.
To kick off this movie sequence -- (below-left) -- I am attempting to set the initial height of the Flash movie via MooTools, so if users do not have Flash or Javascript enabled, they will see the shorter-height image area with alternative image content and HTML content revealed (below-right).
Element.setStyle sets the height just fine until swfObject runs, at which point the movie collapses since I am not specifying a height via CSS. If users do not have Flash, it defaults to the height of a static image.
So here is my question: Does anyone know how to dynamically pass a height variable to swfobject when it is set up to width/height @ 100%? Am I killing myself for no reason trying to work with two page heights?
Image Sequence: Left - Initial Flash movie with HTML navigation below Right - Resized movie at the end of the sequence with HTML nav & content below, looks the same as no-Flash version (static image)
I have two example pages. http:[url]....this displays 100% width and height flash without a problem across all the browsers including IE9.http:[url]....this displays 100% width and height with min-height and min-width without a problem across all the browsers except for the IE9.I need #2 link work with IE9. (fullsized flash with min-height and min-width).
swfObject embed has the following signature,swfobject.embedSWF(swfUrlStr, replaceElemIdStr, widthStr, heightStr, swfVersionStr, xiSwfUrlStr, flashvarsObj, parObj, attObj, callbackFn)with width and heigth required attributes,What can I do to signify dynamic height and width.
I am trying to get my swfobject to register 100% height. I am writing this: Code: swfobject.embedSWF("CoolBox.swf","content","100%","100%","9.0.0",null,null,null); and it doesn't work. If I replace the height paramater with a static number like 200, it will work. The width paramater works fine at 100%.
I'm working on a Flash presentation, and I have a lot of text pages with buttons and movie clips on. The problem I have is that all subheads are set to size 35pt using Helvetica Neue Heavy, but on a couple of the pages a random subhead is displaying a lot larger than 35pt (I'd say 50pt) but it is definitely set to size 35pt in the Character palette. I have no idea why this is happening and it's driving me mad.
I have built a Flash site and also set it up with alternate content so it can be viewed on iPhone and iPad as well as other mobile devices. It works great everywhere but in FireFox the site's swf loads on the page twice.Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so, what have you done to work around this FireFox bug?
Ive been trying to include an swf with buttons, that plays .flv videos, into this html page: [URL] (feel free to view source) Im having trouble because i think the swf 'links' to flv files, and neither are in the same directory as the html page - the swf is just not showing up. i dont want to duplicate the swf and its corresponding flash files if theyre already hosted once by this client - does anyone have a solution, or is the problem actually something else? the swf files can be downloaded at: [URL]
I have a masked movieclip which contains nothing but static text inserted from the IDE (not programatically).
In the IDE it states this movieclips height to be 332.25, however when I trace the movieclips _height property it returns 327.3.
This is causing my scrollbar code to mess up as it is not scrolling down far enough. It is also not a one off thing, every block of text I make in the IDE exhibits this behaviour.
when I layer an swf over html, with all the good stuff in place (wmode = transparent, z-index), I can't access the html elements in Firefox/Chrome/Safari. Here's a link to a test [URL] This is a stripped down version; I've also tried using swfobject.
I've a movieclip in my library ready for export to ActionScript. It's width and height is (723, 614.05), but I tried to put it on stage manually and check. When I get the item from library in ActionScript i get that's it's width and height is (743.65, 626.75). How can that be possible?
I have a problem that's new for me.....When I test the following code inside of Flash, everything works well. When I publish the movie, and test it, I find that one of the functions doesn't work the way it worked (highlighted in the code).
So, Since years the site ( Its a kind of CMS ) Just worked Fine, but about 3 days ago all the flash's object's in the Whole Site are with 300px X 150px. But it just happens in Google Chrome, in all other Browsers it just Work's fine!
How it would be fixed? Take a look at the code of the object:
I got this frame i created and gave it a linkage name of : "myframe"
myframe has a picloader mc and a picmask mc..
I loop through attaching "myframe" at proper depths 12 times and once it is attached, i use loadmovie or loadclip to attach an image to myframe.picloader and enforce the mask onthe pic.
once I load the image, i do some tweening effects in AS but the width and height is no longer correct.
myframe is supposed to be 130 x 100 but now im getting 621 by 400.2.
I have a full flash site which uses swfobject to embed it 100% height and width. I'm using swffit to force a browser scroll bar for pages with a large amount of content. This is all fine and works perfectly. I also have the content in HTML format, as alternative content and this also works apart from in order to get the flash swfobject to work I need to add the overflow = hidden in the CSS, like:
I currently have two problems with Flex 3 htmlText.
1) When I am setting my text's htmlText: myText.htmlText = <html text stored in my mysql database> It calculates the height way wrong. In most cases, a ton of padding (or whitespace) is added above and below the text. I am not sure what happens, but it calculates the textHeight way higher than normally.
2) If I put <span> tags in my html, it automatically strips them out (instead of just ignoring them). I am using the span tags to be able to dynamically find certain pieces of my text. For instance: <span class="salutation">Dear,</span> <span class="tag">[First Name]</span> is inserted in my htmlText, and I use them to parse out the salutation and tag of my variable data.
Any alternative ideas on how to parse out pieces of html? Any way to improve htmlText? How to correctly measure textHeight and/or remove padding?
I have a problem with an flash object. The object is an expanding topbanner, but when retracted, the on mouse over effect still appears on the invisible part of the banner. The code is the following:
Im trying to load a flash movie using swfobject which I have been successful in doing so however the flash movie takes a few seconds to load I wanted to show a simple loading animation however the animation never displays. I commented out the code that embeds the movie and found that the animation does get displayed.
I'm just getting into web design and I'm trying to make a few things work with embedding video onto a webpage. I have some video I shot and edited in Avid and I used a video converter to convert the avi into a swf file.
I followed the swfobject and google to code up the html. However, when I play the file in Firefox, the video plays but doesn't include the stop/pause buttons nor the scrubber button or volume control. Is there something else I need to do?When I upload the videos to youtube or vimeo it has the controls but I would like to keep the videos on my website.
I need my flash to appear in front of the background on this website [URL] it loads but its entirely transparent. I need the content to be visible and the background of the flash to be invisible. Here is the flash itself: [URL]. How do I leave the content visible but use the website's background? I'm using swfobject
How can I display alternate HTML with the jquery.swfobject plugin for browsers without Flash? I'm unable to find any documentation or examples showing how to do this.
I have made a html file in which a swf is embedded with swf object. this swf contain dynamically loaded audio files. It works fine in offline but when it is uploaded it does not show the movie(swf is not playing) I see only empty space. i thought that it may take time to load, but even after waiting for long time the swf did not play and it shows blank white space. Why?..........following is the code[code].....
Is it possible to make a link with a .swf flash file, using swfObject? I would like the entire video to be a clickable link... I'm out of ideas on how to make it happen., on the left thumbnails, do you see how they got a swf object to be a link?Anyone know the principle behind this? How would I do it? It seems like however I lay a div over the flash, my browser will not respond to the click.dit: I cannot make a link directly in the flash file, because 1. I dont have the project file 2. I need to echo PHP code in the link
I used cs4 to create the swf. I published with html output. I noticed I was running in quirks mode so to fix that I put a doctype statement befor the html tag. This is the doctype:[code]the swf still diplays at it's full width but only about the top 1/5'th of the output displays.
when I run index.html (loads the swf file) locally, the 'ID' is not changing when i resfresh the window. I clear browsing history and the ID changes when I resfresh. Is there a way to tell my swf file to ignore the browsing history so that it will change the ID number everythime I refresh the swf file? Is it because I'm using a textfiled to display it? this is the fla file the displays the ID
import com.actions.getXML.*; var feed:XML; var myText:TextField = new TextField(); var modelsXML:loadXML = new loadXML("localhost/a_test2/data.xml");
