I have a CSS drop-down menu and just below is a Flash Video (embeded with YouTube code). The Flash video covers my drop down, but only in Safari.
I have played around with the z-index, and I have tried both "opaque" and "transparent" for wmode (which has always fixed this for me in the past).
how to stop the video from covering my drop-downs?
I have a swf with a combo box in it (not created dynamicall). All is when I publish and run the swf by doing ctrl+enter.
When I publish and double click the swf to test all is well
However when I upload the combox box doesn't allow me to click and get the drop downs to appear. A green glow appears around the component when I click on it - so I think its getting focus
I have tried using form.howFind_cmb.enabled=true (which I know is pointing correctly)
What do I need to do to get the combo box to work?
I have been working on building a XML menu and I have been able to create the top level menu but I am not sure how to add the sub menu items in a drop down. I have a link to a zip file containing my XML and FLA file. I am using CS4.The top level menu items consist of the following and the sub menu options are listed. In this list, Items 1,2 and 3 are top level menu buttons and item 4 is a sub menu button that would drop down from item 3.
Animated Logo : 1
Welcome Video : 2

I created a flash movie and installed in a site only to realize the flash movie is appearing on top of my menu drop-downs. I tried setting the move window mode to opague and transparent, neither had any effect.

View 2 Repliesi have my buttons connected to loaders which bring in swf files......and these swf files are the same size as my project......i want to set the X, Y coordinates to 0,0 so that the swf will line up perfectly in the project, but every time i do this, the swf ends up covering the buttons... how do i bring in the swf, so that it sits beneath the buttons?
View 2 RepliesI've been working on an xml menu since thurs. and have tried every which way and still can't seem to get it working. I'd like to have it totally in actionscript 2, one level and able to do multiline with wordwrap. Right now i'm just trying to get it to display correctly. The buttons I think i have figured out once i can get the first part.
I think I'm close, very close, but something's happening. It's either replacing or covering up the previous menu item. I'm suspecting replacing because even larger textfields don't show under the last menu item. Here's my actionscript:

I have create a TextField over a button inside a movieclip and when I roll over the part of the button where the TextField is the rollover is not registered. Is there a way to prevent the mouse from seeing the TextField so the rollover just happens? I've set the selectable parameter to false, but that hasn't fixed it.
View 3 RepliesI'm having a problem with a finished flash piece where, in the most simple scenario, if the user screen size is very small, the background html comes up over the bottom of the flash movie and covers a portion of it. The effect can also be seen if you resize the browser window down fairly small. I want the user the be able to see all the content fine, even if they have to scroll a lot to achieve it. I have my flash set up with:
Code:
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

The SWF in question is on this page: [URL]
The problem arises in the reflection. It's a duplicate MC of the main text. Once the faces spin to show letters, green boxes of text appear on top of the letters. In the reflection, once these boxes disappear the letters that were behind them do too.
I built a timeline based player with 2 menus and many videos that you can play.The buttons move the timeline to a frame label and the video plays. The back button has a stop function built in it so the video stops playing when its hit.It plays wonderfully locally but once on a server after a few clicks it boggs down and sometimes the audio from the last video remains playing even when prompted to stop. I was pointed to use the add and remove child functions to prevent this but being very new to Flash and 100% self taught i have zero idea on how to do this. The link to the player is[url]....Even if its a link to a tutorial or something.
View 3 RepliesI know how to make a video (instanced as showreel) stop when clicking on a button that that navigates to another section/frame, since otherwise I would still listen to that video while not visible. The problem is when I'm in another frame that doesn't have that video, when clicking on the menu to go to whichever other frame, it looks for that it to stop if it's playing and it and doesn't find it, and so there's an error.
How can solve this? Maybe I should put an order saying something like if there exists a video in that frame instanced as sowreel, stop it, otherwise don't do anything as there is nothing to be stopped. Or assign the order to the frame (which is called motion), but I don't know how to do that, can someone help? The code I have is:
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
function onClick(evt:MouseEvent):void { if( showreel.playing ){ showreel.stop();} gotoAndStop(evt.currentTarget.name);}
motion.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);web.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);logo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);photo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
I have created my first flash video and wish to allow the visitors to play the movie themselves instead of having the movie play automatically also have a stop or pause button too.

View 8 Replieswhen I have a movieclip that gets to the end of its playhead and calls the stop() command, the framerate drops from 24 to about 16. This movieclip contains other movieclips that continue their animations. I assumed with one less timeline running the performance would actually increase. There is no other code running, just a movieclip containing other movieclips that suddenly slows when it hits stop().

I have a project that is going to require some drag and drop scripts. That part I can figure out, but thats not the hard part. I am going to have 6 movies that will be able to be put in a sequence in any order the user wants, again, this part is not hard.
Where it gets tricky is we need to be able to basically hit a play button that only works once all the clips are in the sequence area, then have the videos play in the order that they are currently in, no matter what the sequence is. The user has to be able to put the videos in any order, and have the sequence of video's play in that order, there is where i get lost. I haven't starting writing this yet as I want to see if it's something i can find enough info about first to even try.
I am somewhat versed in actionscript, but would still consider myself a beginner. Again, I can get the drag and drop movements, I will need help making the play button only active when all the clips are in the sequence, and making the movies (which will probably be movieClips) play in the given order that are in.

View 1 Repliesit is possible using Action Script 3.0 to allow a user to drop in videos / manipulate a text file to add or change videos/ text that feed to a media player, without doing it directly through the flash studio actions page. Ideally I would like to have a folder with the swf/fla file, all the video files, and perhaps a text file that alowed the user to manipulate the text of the video i.e. title/description Would it be easier to instead give that user a youtube like solution where they simply had the ability to upload/describe videos, through the webserver, rather than do it through a pc?
