Internet Explorer - Flash Button Not Working In IE Using Wmode As Transparent?
Mar 26, 2010
I have a flash banner and css menu to use.I tried flash with wmode as transparent for flash banner which makes the css menu to come over the flash banner.but the button which is there in flash is not working in IE 7 and it's lower version.
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.
I would want to catch click with javascript on a embed flash object on my page. I used wmode="opaque" (tried transparent too) and put a low z-index. I tried catching click on a div, on the object element and on the embed element. On FF (5), all three of them work. On IE (7 & 8), none of them work. Here's my code (I removed some attribute for flash like type or classid) :
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'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 am working on a video player in Flash CS4. I'm trying to build the player such that when the user moves their mouse over the flash object, the playback controls appear and, when the user moves the mouse out of the flash object, the controls disappear.I managed to get some code put together that works in every browser but one: Internet Explorer. Well, it 'works' but only if you slowly move the mouse out on the left side of the flash object.I have done quite a bit of Google searching for an answer, but I can't seem to find someone with a similar problem.Code is as follows:
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?
I am learning to code in flash by making simple virtual paper doll games. My most recent works fine in Safari and Chrome, but in IE gets the dreaded "a script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash to run slowly" and either refuses to load or plays everything immobile and blinking.
The game can be seen (or not seen, depending on browser) here: [URL]
It seems to load until around the 20% mark and then freeze. The game also works fine when directly in my computer instead of on the web.
I know someone has had this problem. I used Lee Brimelow's preloader:
http:[url]..........
ActionScript Code: //Import the required assets import flash.display.*;[code].........
In Safari, and firefox, this works fine. However, in IE, the preloader never moves past the first screen. See here: http:[url]........... I then noticed, If I right click on my flash player settings, and turn the "Loop" option off, and then hit play, it works fine. Is there a way to fix this or turn off the loop mode that is auto checking itself? It appears that my movie does go to frame 3, and then directly back to frame 1, in which it stops, leaving the grey preloader bar at its final resting place, but not moving forward to frame 3 like it should. I added a stop action to frame 3 as well, so not sure why it is moving past that frame, and back to the beginning.
have a big Flash (AS2) book, with a small button that, on zoom, disappears (_alpha = 0)This is working either when i run the swf directly, in Firefox 4 and Chrome.
Actually I dont know in which section I can put my doubt? My problem is I have a full flash site .The swf file is working properly .But some links are not working while it is testing in internet explorer.It works when testing in Mozilla.The swf is in flash palyer 6. find out what is the problem with internet explorer.
I have a Flash-based SWFUpload upload button in a HTML page. I am trying to style that button. SWFUpload provides a Javascript setup interface to the Flash button's settings. I don't have Flash myself, so I have to work with the pre-compiled SWF file.
I have been searching Google trying to find a solution to my problem with no joy, so I thought I would post in here to try my luck.I have created a small movie which can be found here, [URL], the problem I have lays with the button at the top of the movie titled "Click Here to Create Your Canvas". I have 'Publish Previewed' in Flash and the button works fine - changing on mouseover and opening link, however when viewed in HTML the button changes as intended but the link does not open on release.
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 need to embed some flash games but I'm disallowed to use wmode=transparent due to performance issues & sideFX. I need to place a DIV above the SWF, but without the wmode the SWF is always on top. Hiding the swf when div is visible resets the flash.
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
The newest version of chrome seems to have killed my transparent backgrounds on my SWF. On a website, I use flash to have a transparent video on top of the elements. However, the background is now black under the newest versions of Chrome.
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:
