Box around Flash in Website


Box around Flash in Website ChuckRWD
5/19/2006 6:46:41 PM
flash (macromedia):
All the flash work I've designed, when I open up a site where the element is, a
box is around the flash....what is this box? If I click on the box, it
disappears. If i put my mouse over the flash, that box appears around the
flash. Is there a way I can fix this is or is it a setting n my browser and/or
flash player? Here is an example: <a target=_blank
class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge
href="http://bradyallmondds.com/.">http://bradyallmondds.com/.</a> Place your
mouse over the header, and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks, Guys and Gals!

Chuck

Check this forum:- Easy fix for IEUpdate ActiveX problems.

It sorted me right out! Just got to update many HTML pages now.

the yahoo bundle started close to 2 years ago - i never hear anyone complain or flame about it here
in this forum except for about 2 weeks after it was bundled way back when. Out of all my clients who
have upgraded their players, not one has mentioned it or even seen it as an option (it is now always
an option depending on how the upgrade is performed).

not saying it is any less of an annoyance - just saying it is not something new.

That box around the Flash movies is an overlay box. It is caused by the latest
Security Patch Upgrade from Microsoft. It instals into IE as security measure
against ALL ActiveX controls (Flash, Authorware, Java Applest, Window Media
Player). When your mouse hovers over a Flash piecs, the security messages says
"Click to activate this control." Then the box goes away. But you now need to
do that on every single page that requires user interaction. Annoying. I also
think this new security patch is what is causing so many users to have issues
installing the Flash Player. Not to mention the fact that the players are now
being bundled with the Yahoo toolbar. Another significant annoyance, and down
right rude.

Fwiw the active x/ie update was not in response to any security
issue--it was a respnse to a patent lawsuit... -Tom Unger

Dam.. I am not sure what to do now as I have the same problem.
I created a website <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge
href="http://www.highcliffproperties.co.nz/">highcliffproperties</a> and seem
to have the problem when trying to navigate as you need to click on the icon 2X
to navigate.
What should I do.??

How do you all get around this problem?

basically - search - google and this forum for "active content" - there's a wealth of information
and on-going discussions across the web and this forum.

It would help if you'd followed the instructions .. this is what you have

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0"
width="800" height="150">
<param name="movie" value="images/introbanner.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="images/introbanner.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="800" height="150"></embed>
<script type="text/javascript">startIeFix();</script>
</object>

Did you not see that you put that line BEFORE the <object> tag .. not inside
it .. and that you need the call to endIeFix etc immediately after?

It doens't take much to see that what you have is not what should be there.

Thanks Chris but I am more confused now than I was before..

I have read over the information a few times and tried testing the page..

This is were I am having a problem.
It says on page <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge
href="http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/articles/devletter.html

Under:
">http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/articles/devletter.html

Under:
</a> External JavaScript Solution Two: For Multiple Occurrences of Embedded
Content
-----
Run ?Apply Active Content Update? from the Commands menu. This copies
AC_RunActiveContent.js to the HTML output folder (the folder containing your
published SWF file and the HTML template). You only need to perform this action
once per folder.
-----

However I dont have this option. See attached screen shot of my flash.
<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge

Am</a> I doing some thing wrong?

Thanks JECKL

I did exactly what was mentioned in your link and still have the same problem.
You can check the link. <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge
href="http://www.highcliffproperties.co.nz/links5.html

I">http://www.highcliffproperties.co.nz/links5.html

I</a> created a ieupdate.js file and copied it to the public folder.
I then changed the html as per your link - view in the above links source
code.

This is driving me nuts..

I would appreciate any help.

Had a look through and noticed I left the "<script
type="text/javascript">startIeFix();</script>" inside the body.
I have removed it and saved it. It still does not seem to work.

I have t2 SWF files in this html.
According to the link it says I need to place the script before and after both
(body) .. I have done that..

I have resaved the file as <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge
href="http://www.highcliffproperties.co.nz/links7.html

Can">http://www.highcliffproperties.co.nz/links7.html

Can</a> you see where I have the problem in this html?

your .js file looks like this:

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang5129{\fonttbl{\f0\froman\fcharset0
Times New Roman;}{\f1\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}}
{\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\sb100\sa100\f0\fs24
var bo_ns_id = 0;\line\line function startIeFix()\{\line if(isIE())\{\line
document.write('<div id="bo_ns_id_' + bo_ns_id + '"><!--
');\line\}\line\}\line\line function endIeFix()\{\line if(isIE())\{\line
document.write('</div>');\line var theObject =
document.getElementById("bo_ns_id_" + bo_ns_id++);\line var theCode =
theObject.innerHTML;\line theCode = theCode.substring(4
,9+theCode.indexOf("</object>"))\line
document.write(theCode);\line\}\line\}\line\line function isIE()\{\line //
only for Win IE 6+\line // But not in Windows 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000\line var
strBrwsr= navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();\line
if(strBrwsr.indexOf("msie") > -1 && strBrwsr.indexOf("mac") < 0)\{\line
if(parseInt(strBrwsr.charAt(strBrwsr.indexOf("msie")+5)) < 6)\{\line return
false;\line\}\line if(strBrwsr.indexOf("win98") > -1 ||\line
strBrwsr.indexOf("win 9x 4.90") > -1 ||\line strBrwsr.indexOf("winnt4.0")
[quoted text, click to view]
false;\line\}\line return true;\line\}else\{\line return
false;\line\}\line\}\par
\pard\f1\fs20\par
}

There seems to be a lot of extra stuff in there that would make it not be
valid javascript. It hsould just be a plain text file.
