Flash :: Flash And DHTML Layers For IE

Flash And Layers (DHTML)
Not sure if this is the proper area for this posting but here goes.

I've been developing a site for a client and decided to use a flash navigation bar. To optimize the editability of the site I've decided to put my flash nav in a layer that causes dropdowns to appear over what ever is below, unfortunately depending on the resolution of your monitor, the navigation shifts position, is there a way to keep this from happening?

The site is in development at www.creativecommunications.ca/artworks
Any help would be appreciated.

DHTML Layers And Transparent Flash?
Hey there!

I'm seeing a bunch of pages now that are HTML backgrounds and then a Flash movie will pop up and run all over the page (seen it on Moviefone and IGN). You can click a little "close" button and it goes away.

Does anyone know how they do this? My first guess is DHTML and Flash with transparencies, but I've no idea how this is done.

Any ideas?

Best,

--eric

Flash's Interaction With HTML/DHTML Layers
I have just embedded a Flash .swf on a webpage with pop-up menus in <div> tags with z-indexes. When I first put the Flash on the page, the pop-up menus which have z-indexes of 10 or so were obscured by the Flash swf/object. I then put the flash in a <div> of its own and gave it a z-index of 1,0 and -2. None of these worked and the Flash was still shown above the pop-up menu layer. It seems that flash has taken control of all of the browser layers.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks.

Manipulating DHTML Layers Using Javascript And Fscommand?
I want to call a Javascript function from within Flash. The function just hides a DHTML layer when a particular event happens in the flash file. I'm assuming the best way would be to use the fscommand instead of the getURL because the show/hide layer function may happen many times on a given page.

That being the case can I just have a function like:

function showhide()
{
actions...
}

On the HTML page and have:

on (event) {
fscommand(showhide,"");
}

in Flash?

* DHTML And Flash ?
Hi:

I'm developing a website and at the top there is a DHTML drop down menu, then at the bottom of the mneu I have a flash animation. But the problem is that when the menu displays the subsections, I can't see them because the flash animation is on top.

Is there any work around besides the fact of may be designing the drop down menu in Flash? I will like to use the DHTML version of this menu.

Thank you in advanced for your time and help,

Dhtml & Flash
I don't know if this is the right place to be asking this, but thought I'd give it a shot. We have a client who wants dhtml drop-down menus on their home page and we have a Flash movie directly under where the menus need to drop. Problem is, the menus do not work over the Flash layer - they drop behind the Flash movie. Now, I am not a programmer, but the programmers I work with say it cannot be done. Anybody done this or have an example or workaround for this?

thanks!

DHTML And Flash
I have a page that I am creating that uses a DHTML popup menu (created by Fireworks) for the navigation and has a flash "commercial" directly under it in another table. The problem is that when I roll over the menus the menus show up underneath the flash movie. This does not happen when I have a regular image in the "commercial" area only with the flash.

Do I need to solve this by using DHTML on the entire site and defining layer order or is there another way to solve this.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

DHTML AND FLASH
Hi, i'm making a home work for my web class and im really confused about something...

I have a Dynamic HTML menu set up as an include file, but immidiatetly below it I placed a Flash movie.

Here is the problem...when I rollover the dhtml menu it opens down to show up the submenus but they GO underneath the flash movie....

I have tried everything from making different layers in dreamweaver to place my dhtml (include file) to making a send to back command in dreamweaver...

I just want my DHTML menu to open on top of the flash movie so the submenus arent interrupted by it...

I think this is something I cannt not unless i duplicate the menu in flash and make it a whole flash movie

IF anyone has an alternative for me to try or the solution please let me know, or email me a_argel@hotmail.com

DHTML And Flash
I have a site that I am working on and I am using a Flash file that Firestorm9527 created for me. The problem is that I would like to put the file in a table, and have the drop down menus come out side of the table. I read the tutorial on DHTML, but I didn't find much in the way of what I was looking for. Is there any way to make this happen? If you need the files, I can simply post them on my site (we aren't using them in the current site I am designing it for) and let you take a look. Anyway, any help people can give would be great.

Flash Or DHTML?
I'm working on a web project for a client. We are developing a website that is heavily dependent on search engines and "corporate" type clients. The website offers a service that larger corporations, universities, and other organizations would use. I am debating whether to use Flash or DHTML. Are there any disadvantages to using Flash for a website? Do search engines read it the same?

I would appreciate any advice. I am naturally leaning toward DHTML but my client prefers flash.

MPEG, DHTML, And Flash? Can It Be Done?
Hey everybody. I need some real help here. I'm working on a Kiosk and most of it (almost all of it) has been done in Flash without a problem. However, I'm now told that a video has to be included. I know that "good" video can't be imported into Flash, but I have an idea... i just dont know how to make it work.

If I have the Flash movie loaded in a fullscreen browser window, then I was thinking I could use DHTML Layers. I'd make one layer where the Flash movie would be on, and another where the video (and maybe play/stop controls) would be. The video layer would be behind or hidden for most of the time. Then I when I need the video to appear, I would make the layer visible (superimposed) ontop of the Flash movie... using some Actionscript with a button in Flash.

I'm not sure if this could be done, and I haven't had any luck. I really need some help. If anybody knows how to do this or any other way... please letme know.

Flash Covers Dhtml
Hi,

i've got an asp page with a dhtml menu include at the top, and a flash movie right below it.

the flash movie covers the dhtml menus entirely when they expand. does anyone know of a good resource that might help me solve this issue... i know its not specifically flash's fault, i'm just not aware of any good dhtml boards. is this just a lost cause?

i've tried putting the movie on its own layer, but because the menus are includes, i'm confused as to how the stacking is working.

many thanks,

>>P

Using DHTML Menus With Flash
Hi,

I have a problem. I am working on a website that has a DHTML navigation system and the main pages are in Flash. Now the problem is that the Flash is onto onto the top layer as a plugin and the DHTML menu items go behind the Flash plugin and are not visible. If I embed the Flash instead of using the plugin, it does not work on Netscape. Any idea how I can keep the DHTML menu items on top of the Flash Plugin?

Thanks in advance,

Ani.

DHTML Layer Over Flash?
Trying to get a drop down dhtml layer containing a flash movie to appear in front of flash content in an html page, like those floaty flash ads you see everywhere.

Never actually seen this technique appearing over another flash movie. Is it possible to have a layer appear over the top of flash?

Tried changing z order but does nothing, even if the background flash movie is put into a layer of it's own and moved down the z order below the drop down layer.

Cheers

Javascript + Dhtml To Flash
hi |

i'm trying to translate some very cool experiments done in javascript and dhtml into flash.

a guy i work with put these together and although i've got a good basic knowledge of programming, his stuff is just beyond me and i'm looking for someone to help me understand his code and translate it to flash. i really want to learn from this.

the experiments can be found at:

http://www.cowboyscripts.org/javascr...usetrails.html

he said that besides some code that's specific to dhtml the code he has can be translated almost verbatim into flash.

i'm attaching my initial .fla with the code i brought over. i thought it might be a good place for me to start. it's not much but i'm taking small steps.

you can view his javascript/dhtml code on the url listed above.

i'm really looking forward to working thru this and understanding it and hopefully learning a lot. that's my end goal.

any help will be greatly appreciated. plus, i thought it might be fun for some people to check out what this guy is doing. he is a very talented developer.

Flash And Dhtml Menus
Hello,

I would like to use a flash movie on an html page that is using a drop down dhtml menu, but the drop down menu hides behind the movie. I would like to try and avoid replecating the menu in the movie, because this will be the only flash element on the site.

Does anyone know if dhtml drop down menues can load on top of flash movies? If so, could someone tell me how to do this?

Thank you,

Ps. Havent been here for a long time, been real busy finishing up my degree:-) I did land a great job 6 months ago and I am trying to convince my boss to by flash mx so we can incorperate flash in our design!
