I've been trying to figure out how to change the background from scene to scene in the same flash document and match that with html. For instance: I created an intro that I want to have a white background, but all of my page backgrounds are tan after the intro.

i found one site that is doing sort of what I want: http://www.trappingsinc.com/

Background Image In Flash Or HTML
Hi there!

I've got a Flash movie with a photo background for added effect, the problem is, this is bumping my movie up to 118 K, its 72K without the background.

I've tried putting the background in HTML, but it won't scale to fit the screen. I've also tried using layers with a 100% sized image, but this screws up if the browser is resized.

Should I put my background in Flash or HTML? Which will be faster at downloading?

[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.

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)
}

Randomly Changing Background Image
Hi

I'd like to make a randomly changing background image for my flash site.

The idea would be that the background image changes every 30 seconds. The images would probably be individual swf movies that load into a movie holder on the main timeline

Any ideas on the best way to achieve this?

Thanx

Changing Background Image Without Refreshing Page
Hello guys,
I have a question for you. Maybe someone can find it easy to answer:
I have a button in a swf. On press action I would like it to change the background image of its html page.
Someone in another forum told me it is possible to do that with php, but didn't show how to do.
Can someone help?
Do you think that when changing the background image with php it is necessary to refresh the page?

Thanks for help.

All the best,

[FMX04] Changing Background For A Image With One Click On EVERY Scene - How ?
Hi there, i was wondering of any of can helpme with this dilema i have.

I have set up ma flash project to have various scenes.
One of these scenes is a page whereby when a user clicks on a button he/she can change the background image on every scene in my project.

On each scene i have made a layer called 'background' and drawn a black rectangle which is the default background. This has been converted to a graphic using F8.

What i'd like to be able to do is when the user clicks on the button he/she can change this default background to 1 of 4 photo's i have in my library.

i have tried the code:

on (release)
{
colorchange = new Color("/rectangle");
colorchange.setRGB(0x0000FF);
}

but all this does is change the colour of the background and not the photo i have in my library. Please also note i have to have this change applied to all my scenes.

I hope someone can help, Many Thanks

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...

Changing Image Size Using HTML Width And Height
Hi,
How do I change the image size of JPG images in Flash, that are loaded into a text field, from an external folder ?.

If I imported the photos and converted the bitmaps into movieclips, this would increase the Flash file size, therfore slowing down the opening of Flash ?, compared to loading a JPG image, into a text field, from an external file, which wouldn't slow down the opening of flash ? Which is the best method ?

Thanks,
Paul

Changing A Table Background From Flash
I am trying to build a flash controller which changes out a background located inside a table inside of my html document.

Currently I have the Flash trying change the background to my html file through javascript.

In javascript, I am using document.write(' ' +args ' ') and having it controlled by a function inside of flash to keep switching out the background(text). . . I am having Flash pass this data out, and I can call it from an alert, but I am not able to write out that information using the document.write command (like above).

I think document.write is called only once on the page load. I need it to be called anytime I hit the next button inside of flash.

Does anyone know of a way to cycle out the background image of a table using flash as the controller?

Thank you for your time.

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.
