How To Make A SWF Wrapper With A Clickable Transparent Button Overlay?
Hi all, I'm trying to figure out how to make a configurable wrapper or container file that I can simply pass variables such as
wrapper.swf?m=movie-to-load&u=url-that-button-goes-to
It seems simple enough, and I'm half way there ( I can get external movies to load ) however the transparent button is over my head ( read: I'm a complete noob ).
Currently I have a simple one frame movie with this actionscript in it:
_root.loadMovie(_root.m);
And a transparent button that fully envelops the stage with the following actionscript in it:
on( release ){
getURL(_root.u);
}
I've tried hardcoding a url into getURL as well but it doesnt' seem to be recognizing that there's even a button there.. is that because there's a new movie being loaded??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
BTW I'm doing this with Flash 8 if that makes any difference.
Hyperlinks Disabled Under Transparent Flash Overlay In Firefox
Hi everyone,
I have successfully created a transparent flash overlay on to my HTML page. My problem is that since my Flash stage size is 640 x 260 it is covering a large area of the page and it is covering hyperlinks underneath it.
This problem only exists in Firefox and Oprah, however, it works perefectly fine in IE.
I have tried changing the Z-index in the CSS but that doesn't seem to make a difference for Firefox.
Can someone please share any tips and suggestions you may have on this issue?
Thanks!
Transparent Flash Overlay Is Blockin Html Focus
Hi there,
I am new here. Everything i have learned about html and flash has been from
googling and reading others questions and answers. I have a question that i really
need help with- i cant find a solution anywhere... please help me... this is the
first time i have asked a question in any forum.
I have a finished website that is dynamic using ASP and access databases. At the
last minute i decided to use a [flash - SWF] file that completely covers the entire
page [swf file doesnt scroll with page- but stays in postion]. i have other divs
underneath that have their own scroll bars and have the dynamic links]. The SWF file
that i am using as an overlay consists of just a border or rocks around the page,
having the entire center of the SWF completely transparent. I am wanting to do this
for style reasons- not [advertisement reasons.]
The SWF file displays perfect and resizes perfect, and even the flash drop shadows
fall onto the underlying [html divs]. looks awesome.
The problems are these...
1- IE looks great, links and buttons are clickable- but the text input boxes require
the mouse cursor to be at the very top of the text input box to receive [focus]. I
would almost let this slide as ok...
2- firefox and opera also display perfectly of the HTML, but the html will not
receive focus at all [no links, text input boxes or anything].
My website of 2 years of construction is done, but i really want to have the flash
overlay. It just looks way better, and really makes the site look exactly like my
computer software program of the same nature [built in flash and compiled to EXE
with swfkit].
please note:
1. my website is on localhost only right now so search engines don't start indexing
pages till i get it figured out.
2. i have tried a floating div with swf inside- and also tried the IFRAME method.
3. wmode = transparent
4. ummm... I would almost split the SWF into 4 parts and place them as top, bottom,
etc... but that would get very complicating with auto resizing with browser.
Thankyou for your time in advance-
i hope for luck with my first answer request
thankyou

Full-Page Overlay Question
Hello everyone, can someone please point me in the direction of a tutorial on overlaying a flash movie on a webpage.
Also how to fit a flash movie to fill the screen. I know this can be done by setting the width and height of the movie to 100, but I would like to have it fill the screen without stretching the entire movieclip, just one of the movieclips within the swf.
Thanks!!
Full Page Flash Overlay
Hi all first post and hopefully someone can help.
I want to overlay a full flash animation over the top of a HTML homepage and then either forward onto the live site or disappear after the animation has finished.
Is there a way to overlay the flash over the full page whilst still showing the site underneath the flash?
Thanks in advance.
Close Overlay So You Can Click Web Page Underneath?
I have a SWF that I have running over my HTML for about 8 seconds. In IE you can click on all the links below the "DIV'ed" SWF with no problem. While the flash is running and after it stops. In Mozzila you can't. How can I get the SWF to disappear after it is done? Below is the current code I am running to get the SWF to appear above the regular HTML:
<style type="text/css">#overlay { position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; z-index: 2;}</style>
<div id="overlay">
<OBJECT classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" WIDTH="760" HEIGHT="600" id="diamondFallMine">

Flash Page Overlay Effect Advice?
Hi guys was wondering if you could point me in the direction of any tutorials focused at the following flash effect viewed at the top right hand side of this homepage http://www.navegabem.com/ basically its some sort of overlap that Id love to use in on of my designs if possible, many thanks in advance!
How Do I Create An Overlay Flash Splash Screen (full Page)?
Hi all!
I have created a small splash screen (see here) which I originally setup a redirect to the main site page. However, I then had to think about doing redirects when flash was not available (or even javascript). What worried me is that search engines often ignore redirects.
So i thought, could I just set the movie up so that it full-page overlayered over the main page (green fills the page) and then disappears shortly after finishing it's animation. This would save destroying my SEO.
Anyone able to tell me how to do this?
My FLA code is:
Code:
import com.mosesSupposes.fuse.*;
ZigoEngine.register(Fuse, PennerEasing, FuseFMP);
FuseFMP.writeFilter(rh, "Blur", {blurX:100, blurY:100, quality:5});
var f:Fuse = new Fuse();
f.push({target:rh, Blur_blurX:0, Blur_blurY:0, seconds:3, ease:"easeInOutQuad"});
f.push({target:grad, x:518, seconds:5, func:redirect});
f.start();
function redirect(){
var timeOut:Number = setTimeout(function(){getURL("http://www.theurl.co.uk/index.htm")}, 1000);
}
(I disabled the redirect for the linked example above)
Thanks in advance.
Flash "overlay" On Html Page?
Howdy.
I'm trying to create a flash overlay for an html page. I'm not sure if that's the right term, but it's the best way I can describe it.
For a simple example, I'd like to be able to add an arrow over my existing html page to point to a button or a certain feature on my page. I tried publishing a swf with a very small stage and having the animation go outside of that stage but, as I suspected, that didn't work.
In a more complex example, I've seen ads on sites like "weather.com" that almost take over the html page for a bit, even though the actual swf is only on one small part of the page.
I'm going to keep searching through my resources and plow through some existing code out there, but if anyone can help, that would be great.
Thanks!
Brad
[F8] Transparent Swf On Page
Is it possible to make the background of an swf transparent on a webpage?
In the publish settings under the HTML tab there is a dropdown box that says window mode. There you can select "window", "opaque windowless" or "transparent windowless"
I tried it, but it didn't work.
How can I do this?
Transparent Anmation And Html Page
Hi,
I'm very new to Flash. I'm trying to build a dropdown menu in Flash to be placed in html web page. With the help of this tutorial http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/transparency.htm I could manage the transparency.
But now, I'm in front of a big problem: all links of the html pages that are below the Flash animation area are no more accessible.
Can some pro tell me if there is a way to avoid this?
Thanks,

Transparent Flash Over HTML Page
I read about making flash movies transparent over html backgrounds, and I understand that just fine...but--I'm having some trouble getting the "Ad-like" effect where a movie can fly across an HTML page with images, text, links, etc.
I think I did this a few months ago, but I've forgotten since then... memory, it's a fleeting gift.
Can anyone help? Anyone? Anyone? Beuler? Beuler?

How To Load A Page Without The Browser Border (transparent)
Ok...let me see if I can explain myself better.
I have a page that contains frames, which on the click of a button I need the whole page to fade to blue. So I was thinking of doing that by loading a swf on top of everything which will fade from transparent to blue. In order to make it seemless I want to make that swf be without the IE window. Do I make sense?
Where do I find a tutorial on how to do that?
Thanks in advanced
Video With Transparent Background Playing Over Page
I know how to use a div tag to place a flash file with a transparent background over the web page ro make it overlap.
like this they do here http://flashvideodemos.com/
but I see people doing it with videos inside flash, I want to take a video of a person talking/greeting visitors and do the same thing.
but how do you make a video have a transparent background in flash?
I have the entire CS3 Master suite, so is there like a certain way to export the flv from after effects to make it do this.
I also thought a way to do it would be to just use after effects to export the video frames as png images with transparent backgrounds. but when I put them into flash to play I dont know how I would snyc the sound.
Any help is appreciated thanks!
[MX] Transparent Flash Movie Over Static HTML Page
Like a Flash ad that I've seen everywhere - how can I:

Need help, very confused!
How-to?, Flash And Dhml?, To Make Flash Transparent Over A Page After It Minimazes.
Hello people, long time since I posted here.
Well, I started checking this issue today, about how to put a flash banner in the index page of a site. A flash banner that makes himself big, covering one half of the screen, then it makes himself small in a corner ('bout a tenth of the page, 1/10), leaving the rest of the page to display text. What I'm trying to do is make a big flash animation cover half the page, then, when its over, to make itself small, and leave the rest of the area to be used for text.
I think that this can be done with dhtml and flash, also using some properties of flash to make the background of the flash transparent. I found a tutorial of using dhtml, but it didn't explain nothing at all, or for beginers.
Any one knows where can I find this information/tutorial?, or how can it be done, so I do some research on that.??
thanks people,
If I didn't made myself clear, please tell me.

Overlay .swf
I was wondering, is there a lot of techniques to overlay a flash movie over an HTML page? You know, like these ads that flow over the text and bother you until you close 'em. It always seemed interesting to me, and I think that there have to be different ways to achieve such effect.
Please share your experience...
Thanks!!
Menu Overlay - Help
I've been spending ages trying to produce an effect for my menu whereby there are, for example, 4 buttons with the button indicating the current page being highlighted with an overlay (or underlay, it doesn't make much difference). When the mouse goes over one of the other buttons this overlay then moves smoothly towards this button (preferably with a motion tween so that it can slow down as it gets towards the button) and when the mouse goes onto another button the highlight 'follows' it. If the mouse leaves the menu the highlight goes back to highlighting the current page.
This effect is used on quite a few sites but I have been having quite a bit of trouble making it work. I have managed to get it to work when the highlight simply jumps to the new location (using highlight._y) but when I try to get this to work using a tween (or even playing around with actionscrips) it all goes wrong
Any help much appreciated
Animated Overlay Ads - How Are They Done?
Can someone point me to where I can get instructions on how to create animated overlay ads? I've done some searching on this site and others, but I'm not even sure what they're officially called, so I'm not sure if I'm searching right. I'd like to see if I can use that technolgy to create help pages for an intranet web site.
Thanks!
Overlay Fading
I'm trying to build a menu in which the background is a picture with several sections in it. Each time the user mouses over a sections, all other sections blur (through the use of several different picture variations of the background), and on roll-off, the blur reverses, bringing everything back into focus. I've gotten this far in my actionscripting:
This goes on the blank movie I'm loading the separate pictures into (the pictures fade up over the original background, which stays in place):
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.gobackward == true) {
gotoAndStop(_currentframe-1);
} else {
gotoAndStop(_currentframe+1);
}
}
onClipEvent (load) {
this._alpha = 0;
_root.fade_up = 2;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.fade_up == 1) {
this._alpha += 5;
}
if (_root.fade_up == 0) {
this._alpha -= 5;
}
}
This goes on each button (fadein1 is changed to fadein2, fadein3, etc., up to fadein8; empty is the blank movie):
on (rollOver) {
_root.empty1.loadMovie("fadein1.swf");
gobackward = false;
}
on (rollOut) {
gobackward = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.fade_up = 0;
}
on (rollOver) {
_root.fade_up = 1;
}
I'd like the user to be able to quickly mouse over several buttons and see a fade between the different (fading) pictures. I don't know how to accomplish this. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Creating Overlay?
I am trying to create an object that flys in over top of the main page of the site. When it comes in it should kill all links underneath it on the main page. I wanted to know what the proper scripting would be to fly in a simple overlay and then impliment a back button to back out of the overlay back to the main page. I am totally clueless and in a bit of a rush.
Thanks

Clicking Through An Overlay
I'm wanting to create a dynamic overly on top of a set of buttons that will shade them out when the mouse is not over the area. I can't seem to do this, however, without disabling the buttons.
Both the buttons and the overlay are movie clips being controlled by actionscript... is there a way to click through the top overlay MC to control the buttons underneath?
I'd appreciate any help, thanks in advance
Map Overlay And Database
I want to build a map (townhouse association) with an overlay showing trees.
Map: http://www.actcs.com/glenwood/map.jpg
I have not developed in flash before but have programming experience with C# and VB6.
What would be the best way to design the map and trees in flash? I want to store the tree types information (pear, pine, oak, etc) and locations in a database.
I would like to build a legend of all our tree types in the lower left hand portion of the map. Also, I want to give the user the ability to filter the trees; e.g. show only pine trees.
I have imported the map onto the stage. I am guessing that I would have to create a symbol for the each unique tree type. Would I build a second frame to show the trees?
I have a lot to learn and any hints or help would be greatly appreciated.
Overlay Loaded Swf
hi,
I might be overlooking a very simple thing but i'm loading an SWF inside my main SWF with "loadMovieNum("contentmain.swf", 1);" this works fine...
however i would like to put a layer of graphics over the loaded movie, but the loaded movie is always on top.
is there a way around this??
Thanks in advance!

Blurred Overlay
I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how this effect is done:
https://www.amadeodecada.com/
Hover over the men | women button on the menubar (after entering the site). The "uplight" overlay blurs the bkgd behind it, apparently dynamically. Can someone give some insight as to how this is done? Any pointing would be appreciated. Thanks.
Gallery Overlay
I have created a photogallery overlay which is being called from an external .swf which acts as a "popup" screen covering the main movie with opacity.
Problem - How do i disable the buttons behind the overlay so that a visitor to the site does not accidently click on one of the buttons on the main movie while viewing the photogallery?
Overlay TextField
Hi everyone,
im quite new to actionscript 3.0 so please bare with me
im trying to create a simple dynamic menu. I will trie to explain what i think would be a good way to create one. First, since the menu text is in an XML file, i would load in that xml file, and create an array with menu texts in it. The array length is the amount of different menu buttons i need to create. So i have 7 items in my array, now i dynamically create 7 textfields, put the menu text in them with a for loop. Now, when i worked with earlier versions of flash, i would overlay the textfields with a rectangle with an alpha 0 fill. This is my actual button, so when hovering over this transparant rectangle, the hand cursor appears. Again this works fine too. Now the problem is it seems my textfields still are on top of my transparent rectangle buttons. The area where the textfield is, disables the hand cursor, even though i would think the rectangle overlay button is over this. I made the textfields.selectable = false, but this doesnt solve the problem. I most probably am missing something very basic here, but i cannot seem to get it. If i remember correctly when i did this in as 2.0 i would use the getNextHighestDepth method to solve this. That way i would always be sure that my button is an "overlay" of my textfield.
I have included my "code" so if anyone feels like it, they can have a look at it.
My appologies for my bad English.
Kind regards,
Juan

In Need Of Help - SWF Overlay Problem
I'm really hoping that someone can help me out with this problem. I'm having a great deal of difficulty trying to get an HTML/CSS menubar that I've created for a site to overlay an swf file that I've embedded in an object tag.
I have a feeling that the object tag is the problem as no matter what I seem to do, the menubar goes underneath the embedded swf instead of going over top of it. I've tried a couple of things, but can't seem to get the swf file to be layered underneath. I'm hoping that someone can provide me with an easy way to do this.
I'm really desperate, since I have a number of pages with an HTML/CSS menubar and SWF sitting underneath, and I'd really like to find a way to get the menu to stop going under my SWF file.

Ideas For Overlay
Hi,
I was curious if anyone has an idea of how to go about adding animations (seperate swfs) to play over an imported flv at a certain time in the video playback? I suppose it would be similar to youtube's ad overlays. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Button To Morph To Transparent On Rollover And Stay Transparent?
hi,
trying to get a button to go from a solid 100% to 0% alpha and then stay at 0% alpha, not go back to the original upstate. as they do in http://www.requiemforadream.com/
i made a movie clip that does that then put it in the upstate of the button.
problem i can't solve yet... is,
the movie clip plays immediately rather than waiting for rollover. (it plays whether i have tell target actions or not)
if there are any fla's out there available for this I WOULD LOVE it,
thanks in advance,

Transparent Background & Transparent Color In Flash Player
Hi...
I know I can make the main _root background transparent by adding awmode = transparent property to the html embedding code. But what if I want more complex effects... it´s easier if you see what I´m trying to do... visit this URL and note the flash animation -> www.chapeco-online.com.br/test . It has a transparent background and a little fade in effect done by a simple motion tweening... what if I want to motion tween from a transparent color (so the html background shows up) instead of white? Is that possible?
Thanks in advance,
Marcelo.
Those Crazy Flash Overlay Ad's

Does anyone know how, or where I can find out?
Disable Buttons Under 50% Overlay. How?
Hello board,
I want to create some sort of 50% transparant overlay with a message window centered on the screen.
So when a user clicks on OK without filling in his username, the overlay becomes active (so the password screen shines 50% through) with a message and an CLOSE button centered on the screen "username required". When the reads the message and clicks CLOSE, the overlay dissappears again.
The problem is that the OK button of the lower layer (the password screen) is still active. It responds to mouse over (cursor change) and mouse clicks.
Is there a way the create this overlay as a "blocking" layer? So everything under it will not respond to mouse clicks, but still be visible?
Best regards,
Maik

Overlay Text On Top Of An Movie
I am trying overlay a text ontop of an movie, I tried bring to front the text and send to back the movie, but it doesn't work. I tried to put them on two separate layers where the text is on a top layer, it doesn't work either. how can this be done?
Flash Overlay And Z-Layers
I am making a help system in flash to overlay an online application. The Flash UI is a .swf that covers the entire application and does not allow users to wander about the app. The .swf has a transparent background so you can see the real application underneath to show users what its explaining. The application content below the flash layer has no functionality because the Flash layer is in the way...so far so good. While the help system is deployed, they have to follow a set path that explains to them each aspect of the application. This all works perfectly, but when they decide to close the help I need the .swf window to completely dissapear from the page.
How can I move the .swf layer of a transparent flash overlay completely OFF the webpage so the user can regain control of the functions that were masked by this flash layer?
Overlay Flash Transparency On Qt
hi there,
I created a neat Flash ad with a transparency that pops up when a user is on a site. The issue is that my client is freaking out on me because the Flash wont display ONTOP of his Quicktime videos. I urged him to move to FLV (more $$$ for me - wohooo) but then again he has a particular reason for keeping QT.
So my question is...how can effectively make a Flash transparent SWF overlay a QT. I've been doing some reading and, although I'm not very technical, I've determined that there might be an issue with layering. For example QT will constantly "refresh" it's display to the monitor. Since Flash is overlayed on top of it and is displaying something over a particular QT layer, they seem to "fight" for the display space.
I've read about Direct To Stage (DTS) in Director, there are a number of articles related to Director Flash + QT but nothing for Flash directly.

This is where I get the idea that the rendering of QT as an HTML object seems to be fighting with my Flash object.
Is there ANY way to resolve this? I mean I'd be willing to jump through hoops just to figure it out. Even if it requires a complex fix.
Thanks in advance.
Html Overlay In Flash..?
okay this is what i need help with. i can't seem to find a way or any other help on the net. i have a blogger.com account. my website is entirely in flash(one html with all the movies loaded into it.). i would like to be able to click a button in flash and have my blogger page open below my buttons on my flash movie. i need it so when i click a different button in flash, the blogger page disappears and it loads that flash movie. for an example of my site here is a link. it will help you understand my layout.
