Html :: Css Menus Not Overlaying On Top Of Flash Piece / Internet Explorer Only
Jan 20, 2012
The site I'm working on uses the age-old CSS "suckerfish" menus to do drop downs rather than Javascript or some other CSS solution. On some of these pages there are flash pieces, and for Internet Explorer 8 only, the menus get "blocked" by the flash area. After seeing questions related to this issue, i.e. here and here, I tried both wmode="opaque" and wmode="transparent", which solved the problem for Chrome, Opera, and Safari. Firefox worked without any wmode specification.However, IE 8 isn't working with either of these ... the css menus don't overlay the flash. These flash elements don't have a position assigned to them, so assigning a z-index won't help as far as my understanding goes.How do I make this work for IE 8?URL...
It does display on IE 8 however it does not maintain the width and height dimensions I have set. I have also made sure that my flash is 960 x 360. How can I get it to show my desired size in a way which will still be compatible with other browsers?
I have a html paga which loads a flash(flex) swf file. Using https it loads successfully with Chrome, Safari and Firefox, but not with Internet Explorer.Another page, a simple aspx page, does load in Internet Explorer using https (and no flash in it).Haven't found anything so far on the internet to solve this... Anyone?UPDATE: When I right click on the white screen, 'About Adobe Flash Player 10...' appears... so Flash is loaded. Also, in Charles (http sniffer tool) I can see that the swf is loaded over the network.
So, apparently, Flash Player is running inside my html page, the swf is loaded over the internet but the swf is not displayed in internet explorer browser... Very strange. How can I debug this further to see what the problem is?Meanwhile, in the left down corner, IE keeps on saying: 'Waiting for https://....In all other browsers it works like a charm.You can see that IE shows a Certificate Error, but that's also the case in other browsers. I already clicked on Certificate Error to install the Certificate, but with no success.
Following embed code is from [URL] but it doesn't work in Internet Explorer 8. Firefox no problems. Any recommendations for improvements?

UPDATE 2010-05-14: If I'm not mistaken HD.se uses Flowplayer and all those flasvars are for that. Perhaps someone here is good with Flowplayer? I've never used it myself.
I DLd one of those free Flash templates. [URL].. It opens great in my Flash CS4 and plays the swf perfectly. However when I Publish the .html, it opens in IE but stays on the first frame of the preload. loading 0%" A pop occurs to tell me I have to allow Active X which I do but the html never plays foward or completes the preload. Here is a screen shot of the AS on frame 1.[URL]...
how to tell what is causing Internet Explorer to give a security warning for some flash videos on my site? I've looked through the HTML and can't find anything, so it appears to be somewhere in the Flash itself.
Test FrameRate in combination of browsers,flash plugin versions on Win32
Expect:
Framerate to be close in most cases
Observed:
I am seeing a 25% decrease in framerate under IE7 using Flash10b.ocx(10.0.22) and 50% decrease in framerate using Flash10c.ocx(10.0.32). PLugins under FireFox, Safari and in Mac OSX don't exhibit the same slowdown.
I would like to get help/confirmation on a performance problem that I see in Internet Explorer. The Adobe and Flash community is great on the Internet but I have been surprised to see no information on this, just a few reports about movie playback on 10.0.32 vs. 10.0.22.
My guess is that in IE flash plugin is passing draw calls to Win32 and that this is slow.
Instead of drawing each time on the bitmap using draw, cache the draw calls to a bitmap and use CopyPixels. When I do this the performance is the same across browsers, within 10%.
I have a website with a Flash banner. This has worked fine in all major browsers (IE7/8,Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera) for some time, but when I upgraded to IE9, the banner is displayed with a 1 pixel shim on the right-hand edge, which is throwing the layout off.know past versions of IE would display line breaks as white space and I wonder if that's what's going on here. I'm using the AC_FL_RunContent() function to display the Flash file.I'm not sure where to look to debug this, but I'd like to fix it sooner rather than later
i am accessing flash content in IE.I am getting this error all the time.Error - Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash
I have been asked to get a website up and running. It is a Flash site, which works fine in Firefox and Safari, but its just a white screen in IE. Does anyone know why?the website isand the scrip is : -
<head> <script> if ((navigator.userAgent.indexOf('iPhone') != -1) ||
[url]...Two flash files on the extreme right side, that is above the text THE SPORTS CLINIC and CENTRE FOR JOINT REPLACEMENTS runs fine with almost all browsers, except for internet explorer. I have tried everything, but it simply doesn't run over internet explorer.
as you all know that if we use flash object in web page in internet explorer Internet Explorer displays a box around Flash content and show a tooltip telling the user to click to activate the content. i am using fixit it work fine but problem is once page loaded completely.
I've been spending hours now reading up on IE7's issue with rendering Flash content on top of other elements, particularly navigation menus (this is often a problem with dropdown menus and Flash ad banners, for example).
Update
At Mercator's request, I am providing a large code-sample to assist in any advice you might have. Consider the HTML below:
[code]...
The footpanel uses jQuery-powered flyout menus, if that provides any further context. These menus have z-indexes in the 300X range to appear above the footpanel.The Flash in question is JW player playing a flash video or mp4. Currently, the object and embed tags are inside a container div.My understanding of previous solutions was that the combination of the param changes and the positioning/z-index change on the container div should have resolved the issue. Alas, it is not so. The player resides on top of the footpanel.Other information that may or may not be helpful is that the page is XHTML 1.0 Transitional and that Dreamweaver reports 1 error in the HTML code: <embed> is not in the XHTML 1.0 specification. This fact does not prevent the video from being viewed in any browser tested, and the page still displays correctly in FF.
I have a weird issue that only seems to show itself on IE 8 so far. I have a semi transparent png tiling accross some divs on my site. All works ok. However as soon as i put any flash content on any div on the page, doesn't matter where, IE stops tiling the png and stretches it instead. It only occurs with flash and on ie8.
i have a problem with a game in flash , this game using up and down arrows, for some reason, when i click the game , the web page scrolls too, how can i fix it ? , i use this cheat in javascript but didn't work:
[Code]...
Also,this game is loading trought another flash that embeds an iframe loading the flash game.
In my Flash Page,Image to be flashed.It is properly working in Crome & mozila firefox.But in Internet Explorer, its width is less to that actual width.here is that flash coding.
I am working on MP3 player app that uses navigator.plugins array in javascript to detect the client Shockwave Flash plugin version. This works in DOM based browsers such as Firefox and Safari, and also in Internet Explorer 5.0 on Mac OSX. I have been looking at the detection code that Flash generates when the file is published, but I can't see what would be different for detecting plugin verion in Internet Explorer v7.
I have a client/friend who has a new laptop and I wanted to show her the app but it would not load correctly due to plugin detection failure. I asked my sister who also has and uses Windows to test it and for her it would also not work in Internet Explorer v7; plugin version detection fails. What is different for detecting plugin version in Internet Explorer v7 (Windows, or any other platform it might be run on)?
Code I use to detect plugin versions: clientObj.getSwfPluginVers = function(){ var UA = clientObj.nav_ua; var outStr = ''; if(clientObj.namePat.test(UA)) // for Opera v8x (?){ for(var i = 0; i < navigator.plugins.length; [Code] ..... Then more code to reduce to single digit version.
Ok so we have a website at www. wsca .ie. This website has a flash banner along the bottom of the page but our problem is we have installed flash on our clients pc and updated his internet explorer but still the flash banner doesnt display. Also we have checked to make sure flash is enabled and it is so is there anything else we can do to get this to work?
I currently am working on a site with a full-screen flash video background - [URL]It is working in most browsers, except apparently IE (I am working on a mac).Apparently the only problem is the flash video is not playing.I put this in the body:
I have Flash game at my site. There is a button "Download full version" that calls Javascript function:
function download() { window.open('http://mysite.com/goto/game1'); } http://mysite.com/goto/game1 redirects via 301 redirect in .htaccess to http://mystatisticsite.com/goto/mysite/game1
why the hell doesn't a div positioned over a flash object stay on top with z-index. I have found the answer in the past, but it's been so long, I can't seem to get it. My flash movie is in a div floating left:
I've embed a magazine through a WP plugin (a flash viewer basically) and it doesn't work properly on Chrome and IE9 (drop-down menu elements are covered by the viewer). The page is: pastoraluc.cl/dialogos.Here and here I found some tips to improve flash behaviour through CSS (z-index and position) and flash wmode option, but CSS didn't work to me and I can't modify flash options in the WP plugin provided by Issuu.
I though in changing the platform to a common HTML object tag inside a div, but in that way the magazine is too different of what I need.
i need basically is i want my flash banner in the browser to be resized according to the browser width i have published that banner and the resulting published HTML file from flash works out just fine but the problem i am facing is that i want to insert that resizable flash to an existing HTML page but when i copy that flash file from the published HTML page to the html file where i want the flash banner to be displayed it does not work..
