I have a jquery script box that opens up and it appears behind my flash.The javascrip that runs the flash is
// JAVASCRIPT VARS
// cache buster
var cacheBuster = "?t=" + Date.parse(new Date());
// stage dimensions
[code]....
So how can i get it so the JQUERY script box to open over this flash?
Flash content should have wmode set to opaque. In my case, part of the JQuery dialog is above and part is below. Obviously it's possible for stuff to appear on top of the flash video (because part already is), but I don't know why most of it appears under the Flash.

I am a web designer and I do like to hand code using jquery however, I think it would be much faster to use gui applications like flash to create animations especially on the fly as well as support for writing and editing source code.

I'm using the HTML5 JW Player. It sizes the HTML5 video correctly, but shrinks the Flash fallback player; here's an example page: Test Page
If you view that page in IE, you'll notice that on panel 5, the video is smaller than the space it's supposed to occupy. On Firefox, it works fine because it's using the OGG video in its HTML5 video player.Is there a way to resize the Flash video via JavaScript/jQuery to fit the same space as the HTML5 video?
Is there any way to play, stop or gotoAndPlay(anyframe) from JQuery?
View 2 RepliesI've looked high and low for an answer to this and I'm hoping someone has an answer, or at least a tip on how to avoid it.I'm loading a static HTML file into a container via the jQuery load() method. This static HTML file has a script which loads a swf. When I load that particular file, I get the white screen of death (WSOD) and the page explodes and everyone in the room dies a horrible death.I've had this happen also when using the jQuery wrap methods (wrap, wrapOuter, etc.) when a swf is present.It seems manipulating the DOM with a container that has a swf object causes this. Does anyone have a solution or a way that I can prevent it happening?
View 1 RepliesI'm setting up a page that uses a flash menu to load html pages into a div container by the following call:
on (release){
getURL("javascript:getPage('test.html')");
}
The loading works fine, but some of my pages had specific jquery scripts and that's where I've struck out so far. I assumed all I needed to do was transfer the script importations, css stylesheets and the jquery functions to my main document, but it won't work.
I also tried importing the html as a the complete html, which works on it's own, but not when imported into the main document. Most recently I heard I should try shifting the jquery function calls to the end of the loaded document, to after the content, My scripts work, just not when imported, so I suppose my question is how can I make the main- and imported documents play nice with each other? What say you we make this a jump-start tutorial for all us noobs to reference?
I created a simple flash music player to put on a website. It is viewable in Safari, FireFox and Chrome on my Mac. Unfortunately, when I try viewing it in two browsers on a PC (Chrome and FireFox), it doesn't appear at all. The PC computer does have the most updated version of flash as well. Also, when I try to view the html document created from Flash on the PC computer, my flash player does not show up either.
View 1 RepliesSo I'm working on a very simple animation with some large text areas and have noticed something rather irritating. I'm hoping that someone can tell me why this is happening, and also hopefully a way around it.
When I view the .swf, I'm noticing that text that fits perfectly in the text areas in the .fla is being pushed down passed the edge of the text area. So when the movie exports, something weird happens and the text gets cut off at the bottom. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem, and does anyone know of a way to fix it?
I have two movie clips called mc_England and mc_Scotland they are on separate layers but placed on the stage in the same position.
When I click the close button on one of the clips I can't tell which close button I'm clicking.
If I move the two movie clips onto different parts of the stage the code below works correctly.
As the Close button being in the same position was causing the problem.
I decided to set the position of each Movie clip to come on and off stage.
This works apart from the FinishTween not completing before re positioning the movie clip.
Is there a way to set the position after a tween has completed?

import fl.transitions.easing.*;

My assignment is to create a real time (meaning using a game loop) Flash game in an object orientated manner. I've been following guides online, and I think I've got the basics down, but my player sprite isn't appearing.
I imported an image into Flash and then converted it into a symbol called Player, and now it's a movie clip. I exported it for ActionScript, and called the class com.Player.
Also, I have set the class of my document to com.Engine (this is where I plan to have my game loop and call methods to other classes).
Then, I created a directory called com in the same directory as my .fla. Inside that directory, I made Engine.as and Player.as, and here's the code for them both:
package com {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;
[Code].....
According to what I know, that should make the player appear in the center of the screen when I run it, but it doesn't. I've verified that the Engine class and constructor is being called using trace("hello world"), and I get that output. I also know that the constructor for the Player class is being called by using the same method. I just don't get why the player doesn't appear on screen.
If I drag the Player symbol (correct terminology?) from my library onto the stage, the player sprite shows up... so I know there's an image attached.
I'm running XP and have installed 6 .otf fonts, from the Avenir family. Flash MX 2004 and Flash 8 don't see all but the Light and Roman versions of the font (they are the only ones that appear in the font menu). Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop display all the fonts, however.
An associate suggested that sometimes Flash doesn't like the names to be non-standard; in other words, it doesn't like "Heavy", but prefers "Bold", etc. This seems to support the fonts not being displayed in the Flash font menu, as they are AvenirLTStd-Heavy.otf, AvenirLTStd-HeavyOblique.otf, AvenirLTStd-LightOblique.otf and AvenirLTStd-Oblique.otf. The only two being displayed in the font menu are AvenirLTStd-Roman.otf and AvenirLTStd-Light.otf ("Roman" and "Light" are pretty traditional names).
I've tried renaming the fonts to "Bold" and "italic", etc., but Windows still sees the original names. I've tried opening the fonts in Notepad and changing all references (for example, all "Heavy" to "bold"), but saving the font file (even if I add and remove a space) makes it unreadable as a font (security issues, I think). One reason I think it's a naming issue, is I did try renaming Heavy to Roman, and installed it, and Flash saw it as Roman, but it had the Heavy characteristic. This work-around doesn't work, however, as I need Roman, too (and renaming it Roman2 doesn't work). Is there any solution for this? I need access to all of the Avenir font family, as it's for a branded project that uses Avenir specifically. Oh, and last but not least, I have the fonts installed on my Mac, and Flash 8 and CS3 both see all the fonts, no problem.
I have a website which I am setting up. However, I want the first page (Home) not to have any sub menu. When I change the value of true to false all the other pages where I want the drop down to appear also disappear.I want other pages to have sub menu but not the home page. I have tried to change the xml path etc, but nothing seems to wor am new to xml and finding this very challenging.I have uploaded the config.xml and the layout xml's. I have also placed the index.htm and js script therelso me understand from where it is reading the config.xml.UPDATE:I checked the SWF and yes the it is pointing to the config file. What I still dont understand is that how can i remove the sub-menu from home while keeping it for other pages.

I would like to preface this wall of text by saying, I am very new at this. I may be missing something obvious. I'm working in Flash CS5 with Actionscript 3. I'm trying to use actionscript to create a textfield, and populate it with text. I've embedded my font in my project using the "Font Embedding" window. However, when the code to create the textfield is run, if "embedFont = true;", the font is invisible. The cursor still changes when hovering over it, so I know it's there. Or at least its text box is, I guess. Dynamic textfields with embedded text which are already on the stage seem to be unaffected.
I've tried changing the embedded fonts outline format, neither work. I've tried directly embedding the font with the "embed" tag via actionscript, but it doesn't seem to work with CS5, or I don't know what I'm doing. As you can see in the code provided, I've tried "registering" the font, with no success. I've tried using:
