Why Do Some See A White Box Instead Of The Flash?
I just made my first Flash movie and put it on my web site. But some members only see a white box while other members see the movie. What could be the causes of this and how can I fix it??

Thanks so much in advance!

Brief Flash Of White
Hello all:

Sorry if this has been answered before but since it is a rather random question it is hard to pinpoint how someone else would have described it.

I have a flash movie with a black background (the XHTML page it is embedded in is also black) but when the swf first loads a flash of white appears before the movie begins.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Thanks,

John

White Lines In Flash
For some reason, there are white lines appearing around my Flash embeds in my newest website www.jefflondon.com only on IE, of course (I hate IE). Does anyone know what is causing this?

White Flash Before SWF Loads
Just before my flash movies load the background flashes white. I know this is the default for the SWF and that I can change the color by inserting "bgcolor=" into the <embed> tags, but can I use a background of the first pic that shows up in the flash movie so that it will be seamless for the user? Do I do this in Flash or is there a way in HTML?

Here is the site I am working on:

White Background Flash
Does anyone know why the stage of a swf file flashes white before it loads into an HTML doc no matter what color you set the stage or HTML background to be? It's so annoying and cheap looking!:)

I thought maybe a small file sized preloader would solve this but I'm still getting the white stage flash

I have only seen this with my own work and have seen plenty of sites which don't do this, so there must be a solution

Here's an example....

www.omni1031jrb.com

Any ideas how to fix that? Its fine if the swf file takes a little while to load in, but I don't want to see the white background where it is loading into. I just want it to show the solid background color of the HTML page.

Thanks

White Box Behind Flash When In Html
Hi. I've created a flash with a black background and inserted in my html also with a black background. The problem is that when I click through the pages, for a half second or so, the area behind the flash is white (and stands out like a sore thumb). Any thoughts to why this might be happening and what to do to fix it? Thanks for your help.

Flash Movie White In IE
I have a movie which was developed for me. I am not skilled in flash. The movie plays fine in Firefox but in IE it is white. Is there something that I can do to fix this from my end or does the developer need to do something on hers.

Initial White Flash
Hello,

I apoligize in advance for the newbie type question.

I made a website that incorporates flash for the portfolio pages:

http://www.bahdeebahdu.com/light_sculptures/index.html
http://www.bahdeebahdu.com/interior_design/index.html

When you open the page the flash section flickers/flashes white a couple of times before loading. I tried adding a preloader that checked for both total bytes and total frames but still got the flicker/flash.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Flash White Box On Upload
Hello everyone! I have made a flash drop-down menu for my website. It works fine online, but when the page is uploading, you can see a white box before the flash menu appears. Is there anyway I can change the color of this box to blend in with my background color? Or, is there anyway I can program my flash to only appear after it is uploaded (without the white box?)? Thanks!

Flash Showing White Box Only
I'm sure this is a path issue, but can't seem to figure it out. I'm loading an XML file with links to other swf files to load in. It works when just viewing the flash file.

html page path "/index.html"
flash path: "/assets/flash/slideshow.swf"
xml path: "/assets/flash/images.xml"

When loading the xml file into the swf, I've tried all of these without any success:
Code:
xmlData.load("./assets/flash/images.xml");
xmlData.load("/assets/flash/images.xml");
xmlData.load("assets/flash/images.xml");
xmlData.load("images.xml");
the other swfs that i'm trying to load in are the same directory as the slideshow.swf. I've used similar paths as above there. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Flash Of White When 1st Loading Swf
Hello, I'm having a problem with 2 flash elements on a PHP page I have. When you first click on the page, the small flash elements load. But right when you get to the page, in the first millisecond before the page loads, there's a white flash where the SWF files are. I don't really see this happening in IE, but definitely Firefox. Can't test it for Safari.

Is there a way I can get rid of this?

Flash Loads As A White Box
Hello All,

I have question rather elementary in nature i'm sure.... but its killing me slowly. I have a site that I am implementing flash in- and I have never had this problem before.

When I load the page, the flash "box" is there, but it's white and no flash appears. But if you hover over it, it does "Click to activate this control..."

Here's the deal, the .swf is uploaded correctly in the public_html folder and called correctly.

When I go to my site and enter MySite.com/myflash.swf it again appears as a blank white box.

Here's the really odd thing- it loads fine on my local machine.

The site runs on a windows box and does have other flash that runs no prob.

The designer who built it supplied these files: .swf, .flv, .fla

ANY HELP anyone could provide would be GREATLY appreciated as I need a fix immediately.

Thanks!

Flash 8 Loading White
I have a very simple flash 8 annimation here. The background is set to a blue color the same as the page color. So basically, there's some annimated text over the scene layer which is set with a background color. Here's a sample.
http://www.icmerlin.com/test.html

When the swf loads in IE and Firefox it first loads as white then changes to the color of the background set in the annimation. I don't want it to load as white, but I want it to load with the background color in the file. I don't know if this is a browser issue, but I am wondering if there is a way not to have the swf load as white then change to its set background.

Thanks

Unwanted White Flash.

[CS3] White Backgrounds Instead Of White, Why?
This is just about the only question that I have right now, until I actually get into doing some work with flash. Anyway:

My problem deals with viewing some flash animations online. Before I updated my Flash Player to version 9, I have been able to view some of the animations on, say, Newgrounds, without a problem. However, after the update, what used to be black backgrounds are now white. A good example of this could be seen on VGCats.com.

http://www.vgcats.com/comics/extras/stillalive.php
On the loading screen and the replay screen, as well as throughout the lyrics, the background is white where it should be black.

As well as here:

http://tta.fireball20xl.com/
Here, I know for a fact that, behind the green star, the background used to be black. But now it's white for some reason.

I've tested this on a couple computers, just in case. All the ones that updated to Flash Player 9 have white backgrounds. The other computers that have not, however, stayed black as it should be. So, I'm only guessing it has something to do with the update, but I do not know what.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both CS3 and Flash Player, and I did the usual things like clearing caches and cookies, but nothing I've done so far has seemed to solve my problem.

More or less, I'd like to know who else has had this problem at some point? Hopefully someone else has, I don't like being the only person in this situation. Makes me feel like an idiot trying to ask.

But I would like to know how to solve this, so I can get on my way with enjoying the animations as they should be.

Thanks.

Flash MX Showing White Boxes
I have created a Flash MX intro for a small clothing company and have gone to it on a few different computers. I have noticed on two different computers the movie not starting. I have a link to the Macromedia flash player 6 downlaod and went to it and downloaded and still nothing. Now, most computers show it no problem. I am wondering why others might not. And how come there are other sites, like 2advanced.com shows perfectly no matter where you look it up and with no wait time even though the site has to have massive amounts of flash file size? Does this have something to do with using Flash MX or maybe the Flash size. Anyone? The site is http://www.uriahboardware.com Please help.

White Boxes Behind My Flash On LOAD
Can somebody please give me a hand? I've been trying to figure this out for a while. I am putting my exported .swf files on top of a .jpg in dreamweaver and exporting the HTML. When the page loads, there are these ugly white boxes behind the flash sections as they load. Is there a way I can change this white to match the brown of the background while they're loading? I tried setting the "transparent windowless" under the publish settings, but maybe I'm doing it wrong.

if you want to see what I'm talking about, go to www.acornentertainment.com

White Background In Flash Movie
Hello,

i have a 5kb flash movie and i inserted in an HTML page.
To do this i used dreamwever to insert the .swf file.

I uploaded the files to the server and everything works fine.

However for a few moments, the place where the .swf file is in the HTML file is white instead of black which is the background color of the movie.

It seems the place where the .swf file is, is white until the .swf is loaded. Can somebody explain to me how to avoid this?

Thanks,
Miguel

White Box When Opening A Flash Site
Hi everyone,

Got a question here. I've got a flash site that I'm working on, and the background of the stage is a certain colour - the same colour as the background of the html file where it's going.

Now when I embed the Flash file in the html, and the page loads up, there's a white box that appears where the flash movie is.

I assume this happens because Flash is loading the movie for a split second (it's not very big). But what I'm wondering is how I can get rid of that initial white box that shows up? I thought by setting the stage colour the same as the html background it would solve it, but it's made no difference.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Flash Inserting White Ghost
I attached the image. For some reason when I leave the guy to the right bottom and the words Widely Preferred on different layers the white ghost appears.

When they are on the same layer it disappears.

Why?

I can't leave them on the same layer because the Widely moves and the guy does not.

Please Help!!!!!

My Flash Movie Appears On The Web As A White Box Only
Hello peeps,

I made a player to stream an audio clip on a website. The size is 241kb as an .swf file.
I am assuming that since it doesnt appear--it must be trying to load the file and that is why the box is white with NO .swf playing.

Does anyone know what I should do?I just want the play and pause and rewind button to show up and people have the option to click on it and listen to the presentation right away!
I really didnt think the file size was bad or too big? Do I need a preloader?
I thought when you streamed a wave file in a flash player this way it would play instantly- I have seen other sites with audio player that will play immediately upon clicking the play button.

Let me know..
Thanks in advance....

White Flash At Start Of Animation?

[MX04] White Spaces In Flash
Hello everyone,
I have a small problem. I have created a website in
flash MX 04, i had a few friends test drive it and
some tell me it works fine, but i've had two ppl tell
me it display big white blocks of empty space.

Here's an example:

White spaces:
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2.../whitearea.gif

Normal view, ( for me, at home and at work and other friends look at it like this )

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...oso/screen.jpg

My first tough is that they did not have the latest flash player,
i have 9.0, but one of my friends installed it from the adobe site
but after installing it, she could still see the white blocks
i did not have this problem when i used Flash MX to create a
previous website.

Sorry for the silly question as I'm a newbie in flash.
thanks so much in advanced for the help.

Getting A White Flash, When I Load External SWF's
Hello

I'm trying to load SWF movies into the main player, everything works fine, and the targetting etc works fine, except for the annoying fact that everytime it loads a SWF, (they are quite big SWFS with lots of images) there is a white flash as it replaces the one movie with the one that's been loaded.

Code:
loadMovie("one.swf", MovieHolder);
etc.
Anyone have any idea how to solve this?

Thanks in advance.
