Netscape & Flash
This might be kinda of an out dated question but:
You know when you visit a flash site in Netscape your mouse cursor gets locked in the over state.
Did they fix that yet?
Its been a while since I had Netscape, so I'm realy clueless about that.

Can't See Flash In Netscape 6.2
I just loaded NS 6.2 onto my PC for testing purposes and now notice all my flash movies don't appear at all, just a white box where they should be, no broken link, no popup warning etc. I'm pretty sure most were exported as flash 5 (made with mx). My site is www.sproutmedia.com which has some basic flash elements that don't show, including navigation if anyone has time to take a look. I noticed that even the 2advanced site has the same thing happening. Is this problem only with NS 6.2 or are there later browsers without the flash plugin?? Is it a good idea to have a plugin detection to divert to the macromedia download site if flash isn't detected or is there a better way? Any help much appreciated.

Flash And Netscape
I have just created a website that is using a layer and when that layer loads in netscape and the scrollbar is not in either the full top or full bottom position but anywhere between it seems to completely blow the buttons out of position. Therefor anything in the background that is clickable is not. What am I missing here? Is this fixable?

This is the URL, if you have netscape, position the scollbar just a little below the complete top position and try and use any navigation.

Flash 5, FSCommand And Netscape 6
Hello all

I'm trying to run some JavaScript using the FSCommand, but it seems that Netscape 6 does not run the DoFSCommand function as generated by Flash 5.

I recently discovered that the FSCommand does not work on IE on the Mac . . . is there a similar problem with Netscape 6 or is it more likely that I am doing something wrong?

Would appreciate any help . . .

Flash/PHP POST Vs GET In Netscape
I'm having a problem when calling external PHP scripts in Flash using load variables when viewed through Netscape...
When I use POST as the method, none of the variables are passed to or from the script...
When I use GET as the method, the script seems to be called twice and the output is doubled...
If I use neither, and attach the variables to the end of the address in a query string, the output is quadrupled...
In IE, POST works fine, but the results from GET or a query string are the same as above.
Any ideas?

Flash In Netscape Browser
I have 3 flash .swf images on my web page - they look fine using Internet Explorer, but when I view the page in a Netscape browser all 3 of my .swf images have a white background rather than the transparent background they should have. I used "transparent windowless" when I did the publish settings in Flash 5. Is there something different I need to do so that the background will be transparent in both types of browsers?

Thanks,

Flash Forms And Netscape
Hi there.. misleading title sorry, 2 seperate questions. ignore this elsewhere.

1. How do I make forms in flash and then resize the text input field without it messing with the proportions and size of the text inside it.. when I resize the box to the measurements I need it stretches the type that goes inside.


2. When I embed my swf in a HTML page, Netscape (4.73 Mac) changes all the text to what appeared to be a snippet of HTML, but it was nothing that related to my document. When I clicked on a button the page changed but a related animation did not play and some of the body copy had again been changed to what appeared to be a snippet of Actionscript used in my movie.

What's going on? Netscape bug? It works fine in IE.

Flash 5 bu the way, any help would be a big help!

Netscape 7 Problem With Flash 5
Just wondering if anybody is having a weird problem loading several external Flash movies into the main movie by using Netscape 7 for Windows. This problem does not happen to IE 5.

The problem I'm having occurs when I preloded several extrenal flash movies into the main movie, what happened was Netscape loads the first SWF and then skip the rest, then plays the main movie. However, I noticed that the other SWF are still being preloaded in the background.

What's coded in the main Flash movie are as the following :

frame 1 : loadMovie("one.swf","one_mc");

load the extrnal movie, one.swf, iuto one_mc movie clip in the main movie

frame 2 : stop();

stop the main movie and waits until the external movie has been loaded completely
another MC is running which checks if the loaded bytes of the external movie has reached the total bytes, if so then tell the main movie to play the next frame, otherwise keeps looping until all bytes are loaded.

frame 3 : loadMovie("two.swf","two_mc");

frame 4 : stop();

yet another MC is running to check if the external movie has been fully loaded.

...
frame 20 : one_mc.gotoAndPlay("play");

tells the one.swf which has been loaded to one_mc to play the frame called 'play'
...

On each external movie, the first frame contains stop(); command which will stop at the first frame and wait for the main movie to tell them to play.

It seems that Netscape 7 skips all the stop(); command in the main movie after the first movie has been loaded, so it plays all the frames on the main movie until the end, while the other extrenal Flash movie still being loaded ( which is not supposed to happen that way ).

I would like to know if you Flash Gurus have experienced such problem and already find a work arround the problem.

Thanks in advance.

Publishing Flash For Netscape

Netscape, Flash, And ASP Includes
Hello to all you geniuses out there,
thankyou for all your previous help, and for all I have learned from Flash Kit and these forums.

My current problem is that I am using a dynamic flash button in an ASP page as such:
<OBJECT classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"WIDTH=120 HEIGHT=25><PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="bubblebutton.swf?value=Toilet Seats&url=SubCatagories.asp?CategoryID=29"></object><br>
<OBJECT classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"WIDTH=120 HEIGHT=25><PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="bubblebutton.swf?value=Wall Grips&url=SubCatagories.asp?CategoryID=30"></object><br>

There are 30 of these in a long list,here I have jut listed the last 2. They are in a file called nav.asp which in Explorer works like a dream, however in Netscape nothing appears, just a white empty space. I have found other messages to this effect on here, but none could be applied to solve this particular problem.

The Main ASP pages on the site call up the nav.asp as an include in to a table. Can anyone spot what I need to do to make the nav appear under netscape too, without losing it in Explorer?

Thankyou for you kind assistance.

Flash Not Showing In Netscape
OK...all my movies that were made with flash 5 are working fine in Netscape. Now I have discovered that when I make a movie with MX all that is visible is a white box. I posted once before and someone advised that wmode transparent is not recognised in Netscape 6.2. I thought that was the problem as this flash parameter is fantastic and I use it often. However after checking my sites I see that even sites that didn't have the wmode parameter only show a white box even when I export the movie as Flash 5. I am very concerned about this issue as are my clients. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix the problem (other than sticking to html) or point me in the right direction to find out what cross browser problems there are with flash. Many thanks in advance

p.s here's a url as an example http://www.ezyboat.com

Flash Help Needed For Netscape: Will Pay
Hi Guys,
Im on a relatively tight deadline at this point and would gladly pay someone if they can figure out how to figure out the netscape glitch for loading into empty movie clips. the problem is simple, I have an empty clip called "containermc". I have a movie clip called "preloader" with two frames in it both of which have stop actions. The second frame of the preloader has the following code:



this.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(!isNan(_root.percent)){
_root.loaded=_root.containermc.getBytesLoaded();
_root.percent=_root.containermc.getBytesTotal();
_root.percentage=int((_root.loaded/_root.percent)*100);
_root.preloader.bar._width=_root.percentage;
}

if (_root.loaded==_root.percent){
delete this.onEnterFrame
_root.containermc.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.preloader.gotoAndStop(1);

}

trace(_root.percentage);
}


There is a button on the _root. timeline that loads external movies and loads it using this preloader. Please help, and let me know how much you would charge. Thank you
Sincerely,
Don Ho

Flash, OnLoad, Netscape
My objective is to have a flash movie goto a specific frame once the html page has loaded. This must work in both IE and netscape.

I have created a page with a very simple swf animation, and three html buttons. There is also an onLoad command in the HTML telling the flash to goto a specific frame. This all seems to work fine in IE, but in netscape the onLoad command doesnt seem to work even though the equivilent buttons do.

I find this very confusing, why wont this work in Netscape? any help or comments would be appreciated.

Flash In IE And Netscape Layers
Trying to put a swf into a layer. The problem I have is with alignment. I have it working in IE but while postioning the layer in DW the "what you see is what you get" view is not at all representative to what it will look like when viewed in the browser. Is this the way DW is supposed to work while positioning layers?

ALso Netscape 8 doesn't show the layer correctly at all. It simply plays the layer content in its tiny "placeholder window. I am sure there is something basic for Netscape in relation to layers that I am not doing. If you could look and see I'd appreciate it.

Flash 9.0 Broke Netscape 7.2
Hi everyone. I saw the previous posts about Flash 9.0 but it did not seem to fit my problem. Sometime over the weekend my Netscape 7.2 decided to crash within a few seconds of logging in to my home page. The error shows a problem with npswf.dll When I looked into the error further (and checked other web sites) the problem seems to point at Flash 9.0. If I remove 9.0 and reopen Netscape, the home page (comcast) opens and will run without crashing but it does not show any of the flash pictures and keeps popping up a login (user selection) box. If I re-install Flash 9.0, the home page comes up normally but after a few seconds, something crashes netscape again. While watching the home page load it looks like the error occurs when a flash object starts to load. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. By the way this is an XP SP2 system with all patches and running Norton 2006 Antivirus. All patches and updates are current.

Netscape 7.01 And % Sizing In Flash
I upgraded to Netscape 7.01 and much to my surprise, after the upgrade some of my Flash 5 animations displayed as blank pages in NS 7.01 and Mozilla.

After comparing the animations that were still working to the ones that weren't, I discovered the only difference was that the ones working specified absolute pixel values in the EMBED tag, and the movies specifying percent values no longer worked.

I decided to remove the Transitional doctype from files that were problematic:

!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-// W3C//DTD HTML 4,0 Transitional//EN"

This worked. Netscape 7.01 and Mozilla now scale my Flash 5 animations to full window size again. Please note that Netscape 7.0 did *not* have any problem with the DOCTYPE and percent scaling. Mozilla also uses the Gecko engine, so...

Apparently this is a "bug" in Netscape although I'm sure they would prefer to think of it as adhering to browser standards. -

Cheers,
Ms. M.

Flash MX Screws Up In Netscape 7
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

WHY does the above listed dcotype declaration (automatically generated by Flash MX Pro when publishing an HTML page) screw up viewability in Netscape 7? I basically found this out by accident, but since have been forced to weed through all my sites to remove this declaration.

The way in which it is screwed up is as follows: The SWF appears at the very top of the browser window and is chopped off in the middle. Basically, you can only view the lower portion of any SWF in Netscape. What a crock!

ALSO, Netscape does not appear to support the new Media Components in Flash MX Pro. This is very bad news unless someone knows of a workaround.

FINALLY, sometimes in Netscape (and I've also seen this in IE), an unwanted square (about 30 x 30 pixels) appears in the top left corner of my SWF for no apparent reason. It appears to be a button of some sort but does nothing but crap up my site. Has anyone else noticed this?

I hope someone has some answers for these bugs.

Thanks
