Button Beneath Swf
hello.
Please help me.
I have some floating window that opens above my page. The problem is that I don't want buttons above to be trigerable.
I tried to put an movieclip on bottom layer of floating window and tell him not to show hand cursor, but it looks as if my floating window is transparent. I could still push buttons below and cursor would change into hand.
http://www.etna.hr/
go to button "ostalo" and click any of galleries. Then go over reed floating window and you'll notice that you can push buttons underneath.
Thank you guys in advance, I know you'll help me out.

The Buttons Beneath My Layers
hi there,
Im making a popup window onto like a higher layer (whereas the main film is at layer 0) and it shouldnt be a problem. I plan on putting other buttons into the popup window but i am noticing that opening one window doesnt make whatever buttons that are underneath it disappear...like the buttons to open the window still show on rollover once the window covers them. I need to make my window "solid", so the buttons from level zero dont interfere with the popped-up buttons on level one.
Would anyone have any tips?
Later and thanks in advance,
Jan
HOW TO Disable Buttons Beneath Certain MC?
Hi folks!
I wonder...
Is there any solution to disable buttons beneath certain movie clip?
What I have...
I have large sitemap whit integrated navigation... so there are some buttons...
This sitemap is positioned at right side of screen... position controlled whit listeners...
Sitemap opens at users request... button click > transition of sitemap movie clip to (Stage.height-sitemapMC._width)...
Beneath that sitemap I have some content (external movie clips) loaded from menu... of course, whit a lot of buttons in them...
Sometimes, depending of user screen resolution, sitemap movie clip covers some buttons within loaded movie clips...
Now...
I want to turn off some buttons (disable them & hand cursor) in loaded movie clips...
But...
Only those beneath sitemap MC area...
I assume that I need solution like http://www.thefwa.com dock.
They have dock (favorites menu) that opens above buttons from gallery, butt disable those that are located beneath docks body...
I know that there are some smart and simple solutions for my problem... butt I don't know it...
So...
HELP ME!... please...
Moving A Text Box Beneath A Mask
Hey. Is there any way of setting a text box to move up and down (upon command through a hover button) beneath a mask. I have tried using some of the dynamic text box techniques of scrolling, but none seem to work to the smooth affect i desire. Using a fade in and out mask allows for smoothness, i just need a little help in making that text move.
When i change to dynamic text it will not work with the mask (as far as i am aware). So is it possible to even move static text: lol, that sounds quite a stupid question!
Thanks.
Clickable Area Beneath... Stage...
Hey,
I'm not sure exactely how to word this question, but I'm going to give it my best shot...
I am publishing my flash movie, and I want to put it on a website. The movie is basically a menu that can move up and down, if it is "up" i want it to almost "cover up" what is underneath it on the html page... easy enough to do with div tags...
The problem is that because my stage is about 250 pixels high, I cannot do anything with the stuff that is underneath the inivisible stage area when my "small" menu is displayed, that is, if a link would be visible, I cannot click it because this invisible part of my stage is covering it up... text isn't selectable, etc, etc...
Anyways, if anyone could help me out, it would be awesome, thanks a lot!

Leveling Gallery Beneath Menu.
In the attached zip, is my project. It consists of a menu, content(links) and a gallery. What I need is 3 levels:
Gallery (always on background), as it's now on top.
Content (in the middle), as it's now on bottom.
Menu (always on top), as it's now on bottom too.
Can anyone have a look at my file and see what's the best solution. Both scripts for menu and gallery are located in the menu movieclip. I suppose I should use classes, but I'm really not that good in as3.
Would be nice to get some helpfull comments, would be nicer to get some solutions

Getting To Movie Clip Beneath Alpha
I have a series of movie clips laid out across the stage... Some overlap...
They're all set to alpha 0, with the idea that on roll over they fade in to alpha 1... and then on roll out, back to 0.
But since alpha is 0, the object is still on stage and so if they overlap I'm getting the wrong event target each time.
Is there any way around this outside of pulling them out of the library when needed or placing them so they don't overlap?
Thanks much for your help.
Disable Buttons Beneath A LoadMovie?
Is it possible to disable buttons in a movie clip that is on the root level so that a movie loaded on top of it into level1 doesn't have any hot spots? My file is a map that starts as a movie clip with buttons in level0. There is another movieclip/button that when clicked loads a detail map on top into level1. I would like to have some new buttons in the level1 movie clip but the buttons in level0 are still active and it's confusing to the user. As a workaround, I've created an invisible button covering the entire detail map that doesn't do anything other than change the cursor to the pointing finger. Any ideas?
Combo Box Component Beneath Stage Elements
I am using this code to attach a combo box component to the stage.
var honorComboBox:ComboBox = attachMovie("ComboBox", "honorComboNew", this.getNextHighestDepth());
honorComboBox._x = 400;
honorComboBox._y = 155;
honorComboBox.setSize(270);
The problem is that I have four combo boxes stacked slightly above one another. When I select one of them, say the topmost one, it goes beneath the others. I have tried specifying a depth, but that did not fix it.
Please help.
A Button Not Active Beneath A Movie Clip.
a button not active beneath a movie clip.
I have a button beneath a movie clip.
By beneath , I mean on a lower layer level, not inside an movie clip.
The problem is my button is not active, because it`s blocked by a movie clip above it.
How can I solve this problem without changing the order of my layers?

Small 'space' Or Border Beneath Embedded Flash
Working on a flash animation for a client and having a small but highly irritating problem with it.
The page is here:
http://www.theradioedge.com/shadoehaze/template.html
The flash animation at top left is still showing a slight thin black line at the bottom, even though the image lines, etc. line up correctly, html margins are correct and table spacing, cellpadding is correct.
I've tried, exact fit, no border and full screen ... all do the exact same thing.
The following style got rid of the same line that was directly to the right of the flash, but didn't affect the one at the bottom:
<span style="position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; border: 0;">
It also still shows a full white border in Netscape.
I can kick some virtual a** in html, perl or php... but very new to flash.
Thanks in advance for any solution anyone can think of.
Transparent Movie File.... Unselectable Text Beneath...

Playing Local Audio Beneath The Web Root Directory
Hi,
I'm wanting to play audio but for security purposes this audio sits beneath my web root directory. The audio plays fine when the mp3 is above web root but how do I get it to use the server root rather than the web root?
I'm guessing my problem comes from the fact that I'm using URLRequest and so it's creating a url rather than a relative path.
I've looked in my log and Flash seems to create a "current directory" from where the swf is sitting. So calling myaudio.mp3 from myfolder/myswf.swf would call myfolder/myaudio.mp3. Prefixing the audio name with a / I would hope would cause the file to be pulled from the server root but no such luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Swapping A Dynamic Movieclip's Depth Beneath A Static Set Of Graphics?
Flash 8 - AS 2.0
Ok kiddies. I've been toying with AS and trig. and have a little wiggly worm that half-heartedly responds to the mouse just as I want. It's created by looping 30 times through a for loop and using attachmovie() like this.
for(i=0; i<30; i++){
attachMovie("mcCircle", "mcCircle" + i, i, {_x:mx[i], _y:my[i]});
}
As you can see for their depths I have used the increment of the for loop. So I have 30 clips with depths from 0 to 29. On the other hand, the graphics which have been statically placed on the stage have these depths.
instance7:-16352
mcThought:-16355
instance6:-16357
mcCode:-16360
instance5:-16362
mcAural:-16365
instance4:-16367
mcVisual:-16370
instance3:-16372
mcHome_WF:-16374
mcHome:-16377
instance2:-16379
instance1:-16382
What I need is to place the mcCircle clips underneath some of the objects on the stage. Imparticularly, the menu bar at the top of the stage and the logo at the bottom while staying on top of the background. I just want it to look like it's going behind these two graphics. I've tried a number of things and have ran out of ideas. By the way - the bottom of frame 27 of the actions layer has the code that is outputting the depths in the Output panel in Flash.
Many thanks,
John
[MX04] Issue: Buttons On Main Movie Are Still Active Beneath Loaded MC
Basically, I have a small interface (a large square for instance) with main and sub navigation contained in it. Using a loadMovieNum action on a button to "View More Photos", it loads a pop-up Image Viewer MC (that covers the entire large square) and presents a new mini interface and a "Close Window" button. Simple enough.
The problem is the buttons beneath the loaded MC are still active when I roll over the new interface.
Should I be using an empty MC instead? Is it an issue of transparancy?
Erasing The Top Layer With A Line To Show The Layer Beneath It
I was curious if anyone would be able to help me out. I have a layer that is a menu with some buttons. When a button is hit, I'd like to do this: A line from above the menu will go down the page, and as it goes down it apperas to erase the menu layer and show the layer beneath it. So as it goes down, what is beneath the line is still the menu page but above the line is the information (movie clip) that should be shown to that corresponding button. Any one have any ideas?
Thanks

XML Image & Video-playing Gallery Issue. Video Doesn't Hide When Online.
Hi guys,
I've created a gallery using kirupa's tutorial that loads in, through xml, both images and streaming video swfs.
here's the link (then click on 'Real Art', then on 'Roster' in the menu):
http://www.studiotonne.com/tira/
All links (xml and content links in the xml) are pointing to an online server, so it should work offline in the same way it does online.
So offline, it all works fine and browsing through the gallery in the Roster for each artist, selecting each number in the gallery closes the current image/video and displays the new one, as it should.
Online however, the issue is different. For instance, clicking on 'Build', then on number 5 in the gallery (which is a streaming video embedded in a swf pulled in via xml), it streams in the required video. However, upon trying to select a different picture in the gallery, or choosing to view the gallery of a different artist, the video doesn't want to disappear and allow other images to be seen, as it does when viewed offline.
I'm sure its quite a simple thing to make the streaming video swf that the xml loads in, to disappear. I just don't understand why it works properly offline, whereas online, the video issue occurs.
Could it be a netConnection or netStream issue?
Here is the code for the build gallery in the roster:
Code:
stop();
function loadXML(loaded) {
trace("XML loading...");
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
firstImage();
displayPages();
} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("clientupdates/build/xml/build.xml");
p = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();
preloader._visible = true;
if (loaded != filesize) {
preloader.preload_bar._xscale = 100*loaded/filesize;

Video Stops And Audio Continues - Individual Scenes Work, Together Video Freezes
This is my first flash project ever, but I think I got a handle on layers, scenes, using streamed audio, etc. The sync works for every scene when tested independently. Those exported .swf run fine. But when I try to publish the entire movie as a .swf or .exe or any other format, it always freezes at a certain point. The video stops but the audio continues.
Can anyone help me or give me an idea of where to start diagnosing the issue?
I've resorted to converting each individual .swf into .avis then combining the segments into the video that I want, but, of course, this doesn't retain the size, scalability, and quality benefits of a .swf file. Please help!

Flash Video Gallery €“ Link To Specific Video Upon Launch
I saw this question asked before when first doing a search on this topic, but have yet to see any replies, let alone any that work.
How can I link from within a web page to a specific video that is contained within a modified version of Adobe's Flash video Gallery tutorial?
When a user clicks on a link that says "View Dr. Jones Lecture", I want the Flash Video Gallery to launch with Dr. Jones' video loading and playing immediately. As it stands now, the video player just wants to wait until someone locates and then clicks on the video of their choice WITHIN the video player itself. That is fine if a generic "Launch our Video Gallery" link is clicked, but not if the user is expecting a specific video to play.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Cheers!

Embedded Video Object In Video Basics - Part 1 Tutorial
I am a total newbie at Flash, so please bear with me. In Lee's Video Basics - Part 1 tutorial, one of the first steps is to create a Embedded Video object in the library. Flash Professional MX 2004 is being used in the tutorial and I am using Flash Professional 8, so maybe that is the reason I'm having a problem. The tutorial shows that by clicking "New Video" in the library panel, the embedded video object is automatically added to the library. When I click "New Video", I get a Video Properties dialogue box that defaults to "Video (ActionScript-controlled)". When I check the Embedded option, the OK button becomes disabled...only Cancel and Import are enabled. Clicking the Import button gives me an open dialogue box for a *.flv file. I'm not sure what to do here. Am I supposed to select the .flv file that I am going to use? I was under the impression that the tutorial was creating a generic object that I would be able to reuse whereas selecting a .flv file would make it specific to what I'm working on now. Can someone that is using Flash Professional 8 clarify what I should do?
Thanks,
Pat

Making A Presentation/commercial/training Video...(using Video)
Hail everyone...
I wanted to know what best to use if I wanted to make the above mentioned (in the topic subject)...
Seeing as tv res is 350x200 (or somesuch) the res won't be a problem (using DV cam), but as soon as I import the movie in flash, it pixalates BADLY (no quality for use in a TV commercial)...
What is the best format & encoding to use for this...
Or is there an app that can import layers from flash...
Because I need intricate shapes over my movie (playing as part of background, or only displayed half way across the screen)
I have to whip out a miracle with limited resources & I need some help please
Thanks before hand...
Unable To Scroll Video Until Video Plays In Entirety
Hi all.
I'm making a simple flash file to play a flv off a server. I'm using a flash skin with seekbar but the scroll triangle on the seek bar doesnt show up until the movie has played in its entirety. I would like to have it show up as soon as the movie starts playing.
Here's the steps I did using Flash Professional 8 on a Mac
import video (set the url path)
custom skin URL (typed in path) to SteelExternalPlaySeekMute.swf
My component inspector looks like this
autoplay - true
autorewind - true
autosize - true
buffertime - 0.1
contentpath - the url of the file
cuepoints - none
islive - false
maintainaspectr - true
skin - url of the skin
skinautohide - true
totaltime - 0
volume - 100
so what do I have to do to make the ability to scroll the video once the video starts?
I've tried this with numerous skins and all have the same results
TIA

Play Diffrent Video Infront Of Bigger Video
Hey guys, and many thanks to all the gurus for taking the time to help us none gurus out.
I'm using Flash CS3 with AS3, and using .swf to stream .flv
Here is want i would like to do:
I have some video clips that i am playing in a .swf (MAIN.swf)(i am doing this via streaming .flv) and its working fine. What i would like to is have a shorter video (SMALL.swf)(which will also be a .swf via .flv) play before the MAIN.swf, and i want to rotate or change the SMALL.swf every 3 times the SMALL.swf gets played and keep the MAIN.swf constant. With a cycle of about 3 diffrent SMALL.swf's going down a list SMALL1.swf, SMALL2.swf, etc. I would, if it is an all-in-one .swf, to have a preloader. Kinda like this:
Page loads...
Preload....
SMALL1.swf...plays....MAIN.swf.....done.
Page loads...
Preload....
SMALL1.swf...plays....MAIN.swf.....done.
Page loads...
Preload....
SMALL1.swf...plays....MAIN.swf.....done.
Page loads...
Preload....
SMALL2.swf...plays....MAIN.swf.....done.
Page loads...
Preload....
SMALL2.swf...plays....MAIN.swf.....done.
Page loads...
Preload....
SMALL2.swf...plays....MAIN.swf.....done.
Page loads...
Preload....
SMALL3.swf...plays....MAIN.swf.....done.
etc.....
I'm pretty sure you have to store a varible somewhere, somehow to keep up with the loads.
I'm not sure where to begin with this, Im not the best at AS...so any code you can give me would be awesome. Thanks

XML Video Gallery: How Do I Target A Video To Play In Popup?
Ok, so we have an XML driven video gallery... pretty common.
On our site, we have various stories that will need links to open a popup containing the video gallery and play a specific video from the library.
How can I target a certain video (define the contentPath) with a link on an HTML page thru the window.open javascript command.
For instance:
This link will open videoA.flv
This link will open videoB.flv
Hope that makes sense.
Making A Music Video -- Audio-video Sync?
Apparently, the sound file must be set to stream to assure synchronization.
I also read this somewhere:
Note that it's critical to add a preloader to allow the music file to properly stream down to the player before playback begins. With the sound file set to Stream, the animation and song may be out of step with each other if this step is not taken.
What does this mean? If the song it's set to stream it just isnt loaded in the preloader -- how do I make it load?
One more question, what is the optimal framerate for a music video? 30?
Pull Video From Client Or Push Video To Server
Hi,
In windows media server there are options such as pull or push.
In pull mode the server asks clients to stream data when required.
In push mode clients continiously stream data to the server.
push consumes more bandwith because it is a constant stream-it does not care if there are users who want to view live stream or not-it just streams.
pull is more intelligent way of publishing because it only generates traffic between clients and server if someone wants to view the stream.
So is there such a configuration in Flash Media Server? If not, does the push mode always streams the data?
Thanks in advance!

Video Encoder Can't Read MPEG-2 Video Track
I've recorded some MPEG-2 videos from a new Sony camcorder, and I can't turn them into FLV files using Flash CS3 Video Encoder. Each time I open the settings window, it says "This file has no readable video track."
However, the mpeg's play fine on ALL my media players (Real, Windows Media Player, etc.).
I've found a workaround -- I have to use some freeware to convert the MPEG-2 files into MPEG-4 files, and then the encoder can read them. But I'm still mystified as to why the Adobe encoder won't read the MPEG-2's.
Any ideas?

What's The Best Method For Video Loop + Precached Video Transitions?
Hello, I am hoping that a kindly Flash guru can send me running off in the right direction.
What I want to do is make a SWF which works in the same manner as a DVD menu, using Flash video.
Simply put, that means having a video loop for the background of each 'page', with links to other pages. Each of these links would travel through a video transition to reach the next page.
I am an experienced Java programmer; After Effects user and DVD Author but I have to admit that as a beginner to Flash, I find the number of ways you can embed video... symbols... media server etc. quite confusing.
All I want to do is have my loops and transitions as FLV files on my normal HTTP server, play the current loop while precaching the possible transitions etc.
I am very happy to research the precise coding aspect of this but I am hoping someone can tell me which of the (apparently numerous) methodologies available is the best one to go down.
Do I need to have all my objects in the timeline, or can I have a single object and reassign the video with code?
If it helps my video loops and transitions are 400x300 and around 4-10 seconds, so the bandwidth requirements aren't unreasonable.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
AS2 CS3: Video Player Class W/ NetStream Video Object
is it possible to use the properties of the videoPlayer class with a video object that is not wrapped in a flvplayBack component. I am having trouble using the maintainAspectRatio property with my current video object. Additional question, If you use a flvPlayBack component are you forced to use a skin for the controller or can you use a controller that was built in the swf of the video object?
FLASH 8 Video / Flv/skins In Subdirectory Cause Video Not To Display.
When I do my flash work, I usually keep my flash files in a directory that's not the same as my php or html files.
I usually keep my .swf files in /siteswf/
When I upload the html that calls my flash movie , for example siteswf/movie.swf
it would normally play fine as long as the html and the .swf are uploaded. but for some reason the .swf won't play because it wants the flv and the skin of the flash 8 movie (flv) to be in the same directory as the html file calling it. How do I fix this so I don't have to put the movies and the skin in the same directory as my html files?

Video Sharing Site (like Youtube) With AS3 Video Player?
I was planning on using YouTube to upload some content then stream the videos (as swf's) back into my project. The problem is that the YouTube player is AS2 so I have to use some workarounds to be able to control the video. I was wondering if there were any other video sharing sites that used an AS3 based player so I could control it from within my own code without the workarounds needed for you tube.
No Video (only Audio) When Playing Basic Video Player.
Hey everyone.
I used to be fairly good at flash, and then i had a break. Now i'm struggling with this really simple problem, that no one else seems to be having...
Here is my actionscript for playing the video
Code:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream (nc);
theVideo.AttachVideo(ns);
ns.play("antena1wheel_1.flv");
When i preview it, it comes up with the white stage, and you can hear the sound... but no sign of any video.
Thanks, and appologies for my stupidity...

Attached Standard Video Controls To External Video
I have loaded a video using NetStream/Net Connection, etc. I am able to control it by creating my own buttons, but I'd like to just attached the standard FLV Playback components. Is there a way for me to do that?
