Flash :: Background Image In Flash Or HTML

[CS3] How Do I Change The HTML Background Image From Flash?
Hi,

I'm new to the whole forum thing, but i'm running out of ideas of how to resolve this issue.

I've created a transparent flash movie, for a new portfolio website. I've dropped it into an html page with a full bg image (2000x1500) but i want to change the html bg image each time i click on a new area of the flash movie.

Can this be done? I know it requires javascript and actionscript, but as a designer i am having a real hard time trying to find any solutions or understanding any code thats out there.

Please help if you can...

Cheers in advance.

Changing An HTML Background Image From Flash
Hi all,

I am building a site right now that gives the users the option to change the color scheme of the site.

The problem I am running into is my footer an image outside of flash as the background colour of a table.

Is there a way that I can create some sort of function in flash that speaks with the html of the page to change that table cell's background image? I assume it would be javascript if it's possible.

Html Background Image Covered By Flash Stage
http://rufushale.com/test.html for example.

I am using Flash Pro 8 and DW 8 on ibook g4.

The problem is that i cannot seem to prevent the Flash "stage" from taking up most of the screen, covering the bg image, which is the green stripes. It does not matter how small I make the stage in Flash.

Here is the page code:

<html>
<head>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="Assets/Images/favicon.ico" >
<title>test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="JavaScript">


function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.0
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
if(!x && document.getElementById) x=document.getElementById(n); return x;
}
function createWindow(cUrl,cName,cFeatures) {
var xWin = window.open(cUrl,cName,cFeatures)
}

Background Image Question (HTML)
Hi, I'm trying to achieve creating a Flash movie which has its background set to transparent, then having a background image loaded into the HTML. (Partly inspired by being impressed with a similar effect on Less Rain

I am just about to grips with basic HTML & my transparent movie works fine on top of the image. The problem I have is that the 800 x 600 background image begins to tile on the edges of the page. Does anyone know how I can make the HTML auto-size the backgrond image to fit the entire browser please?

Alternatively, are there ways of getting Flash to embed an image instead of a colour as the background? I use both Flash 5 & 8 depending on project- though I'm relatively intermediate on both.

Hope someone can help, thanks in advance

Background Image For The Published Html
hi guys...super basic, i know. i even looked around the forums, google, etc with no luck (likely cause i just didn't know how to verbalize this). I am curious how to create a background with gradient onto my published html. Must it be an image in the body tag (<body background="image.png">)? i tried this but no luck. I'm hoping the answer may avoid an image for these reasons:

1-i don't know how big the image will need to be
2-it takes longer to load
3-it looks funny trying to fit the flash movie ontop of the image...it's not smooth

any thoughts? thanks

Background Color Change From Swf To HTML-image
I've been having problems with some color changes.

The background picture in the flash movie has a color which is similar to that of a picture that lies in a scaleable HTML-table beside the swf in the indexpage.

The problem is that on lowres/low color monitors, you can see the transition from swf to the HTML table. There's a slight color change that is only visible on low color monitors.

How can I avoid that? Does anybody know that...

HTML Background Matching Flash Background
Hey, I have a flash website that opens as a pop up, the pop auto fullscreens. The background in the flash document is a gradient, and I have a gradient in the background of the html. My question is how would I get the background of the HTML to always match up with the flash background using a percentage?

Flash Swf As A Background Image
this would be incredible if I could use a swf as a background image in either html or css. Anyone know if it can be done? Or does anyone know a workaround. I am trying to (i know it may be against the rules) make a simple rounded rectangle with some attnetion getting animation that surrounds the google ad. When I insert flash it moves the javascript down. This may actually be legal since I am not directly telling the user to to click the links, just using the flash as layout. Thanks

Background Image In Flash.
I am in the process of putting together my own site. Currently I have a background image in my html that repeats horizontally and vertically. I then placed my Flash movie on top of the page and set the background of the Flash movie to be transparent. It looks great and works but, unfortunately, the transparent background combined with my animations are a little too processor intensive.

So my question is, how can I place a background image in my Flash movie so that it will cover entire browser background (a.k.a. tile) without being processor intensive? Also, I'm trying to avoid using an enormous image for the background.

BTW: This weeks site of the month seems to be pulling it off. http://layouts.drawingart.org/

Flash As HTML Background
Hi,

I know this has been covered before, but I can't get the suggested methods to work. I have followed the instructions from here: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/dhtmlflash.htm
I basically want to do the opposite of that, i.e. I want the Flash under the text, not on top of it. I thought I could just change the Zindex of the Flash to 0, or -1, but it didn't work.

I'm using Flash MX 2004 Pro, although I doubt that makes much difference as I think the solution will lie in the HTML.

Thanks.

Don't Want Flash Doc Background In Html
Could someone please help me

I have a flash document swf and html to export into dreamweaver.
In flash document dimensions are set to 1280 by 1024.
This what my display properties sceen resolution is set to.
I have the flash movie set to the same size as the document but when I publish and open the html in dreamweaver there is the document background color around the swf movie. No matter what settings i use there still is a 5 pixels odd of document background which looks like a border.
I have tried to adjust in the publish settings dialog box the Dimensions settings to 100% and also scale. No luck. etc
How do I get rid of the background . I would like the swf to take up all of the width of the html page. No borders.

Thanks for your help

Html/css Background Flash Help
I seriously need some help. I am somewhat new to flash and need some help as soon as possible (ANY REPLY will be greatly appreciated). I submitted an earlier post under the topic "masking a fading image," but no one has replied (I didn't mean for it to sound ignorant or retarded, but I'm just trying to find the right words to accomplish what I'm trying to do. I will break the entire task down into more appropriate topics and take it one step at a time.

My first step is as follows: I've created a flash movie file that I would like to set as the background in an html page. Is this possible? I do know when I publish the flash as a transparent web page, I can view the source, copy that, and integrate it into the html page I want to create (with a background color ="#000000") as long as the flash file is saved within the directory of the web content. However, the code (since it is transparent) seems to be just placed on the html page (on the foreground), and the animation will hover over any links or pics that are also place within the page. Is there a way to set the whole flash file in the background of the html page, so it doesn't seem to hover over other content? Thank you ahead of time.

2) What is the best way to use drop shadow laterally to the swf?

Thx to all and sorry for the bad english

A Question About A Big Ole Background Image In Flash
Howdy! Thanks for taking the time to read this... I'm relatively new to Flash and I'm loving it - I have a quick question which hopefully will be pretty easy for someone to help me out on...

I'm working on a site where they want a large background image sitting behind the various nav elements, etc.

I know about giving a Flash movie a transparent background, but apprently that only works on IE on Windows. This needs to work the same for Netscape, etc.

I have found a site that uses the effect: http://www.davidemmite.com/dep.html

Very cool - but I'm not sure how it's being done. The background image itself shouldn't cause any scrolling, and I'm guessing it will need to be quite big (1280x768 pixels) - like the site I listed above, if someone resizes their browser window, the background image should simply get cropped. Can anyone give me a helpful hint or two about how to approach this?

Many thanks in advance,
Zeep
