Prevent Menu From Getting Hidden Under Flash Video (SWFObject )

How to prevent Javascript Menu from getting hidden under Flash Video (SWFObject ).
I am using Open Flash Chart and the chart is displaying fine in my php shoppping cart, but my javascript menu is getting hidden behind the Flash Chart.
1) in the object tag add the following parameter <PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=transparent>
2) in the embed tag add the following attribute <EMBED src="jet.swf" wmode=transparent ....
3) add the same name-value pair to the following script <script type="text/javascript"> AC_FL_RunContent 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0' ,'wmode','transparent',...rest of your name-value pairs go here ); //end AC code </script>
I have created a transparent flash video (virtual spokesperson) for my website. For demoing purposes, I would like to have this appear on any desired website.
This is what I am trying to produce - here a virtual spokesperson appears on the [url]website: [url]
Have a look at other sites which enable one to type in a URL and their demo virtual spokesperson appears on the given site: [url] [url]
I believe they do this within an iframe to display the underlying website.
I am trying to get a remote google swf video to appear on my webpage. I already got youtube to work (which is easy since they provide the embed code), but I also need video.google to work.
I crafted a regular expression to extract the width, height, swf source, and the flash vars from the youtube embed code and the apply it to a new swf object.
Google does not provide their embed codes and their file source doesn't look as easy to comprehend than that of the simple V variable in the youtube URL or embed.
I took a look at the source of the google video and I can't seem to find any SWF embed or javascript objects. It might be in another external javascript file, but does anyone know how to get it?
I am working on a project that is using load balanced servers.. all the media that is referenced in the flash is referencing that server. but for some reason on our wireless at work we can't access that server... so I want to check to see if the swf file is existant on the server before writing out what swf to embed.. so if it is there, meaning we're not on wireless.. it will ebmed that one.. otherwise embed a different swf that will use that server's local copy of the site..
I'm looking to duplicate the video-embedding technique shown on revision5.com, whereby they show the flash video to all platforms where flash is available, and only show the HTML5 player on mobile devices. Is there a browser-sniffing framework, or some other method available to accomplish this?
I have been looking for a solution for a long time. I have embedded a SWF app in html page using SWFObject. Now I need to give the Flash app the address where it is currently embedded, since the same SWF file is embedded in more than one locations! So the Flash app is supposed to pull the right content according to its current position
My Client wants the Flash walk-out video to only show once per visitor.URl...As it is now if you go to his home page the video shows again.How do I make it only show once per visitor?
I have a YouTube channel with many videos. The links to these Flash videos are talking to a page within my web site. On the web site, the video pops up in a tiny window on entry of the page, and it closes when you click the close button or it will fade away after it has played its way through.
So the scenario is this: The site looks great, but it doesn't on an iPad. Because I am linking to a Flash YouTube URL, it doesn't load on the non-Flash iPad device. I have done a lot of online reading for a week and discussed on many forums. However, everywhere I turn, I read articles about how what I'm trying to do is not possible--that no YouTube URL will ever play on the iPad. Is this true? If so, why can they play on the iPad YouTube app? What is the difference between the app and my web page?
I found many articles and videos referencing this fallback: [URL]
However, my problem with this fallback is that my videos are on YouTube. I am using a URL to talk to it, more specifically an ID. The client has done this purposely to save bandwidth on their server. I have the start of the Javascript looking like this:
function loadPlayer() { var params = { allowScriptAccess: "always" }; var atts = { id: "myytplayer" };
[Code].....
Within the loadPlayer function, can I add fallbacks in here (after line 4)? If so, how do I go about writing one? I suppose I'm just lost on how to get the HTML5 video option to work with my project. I have heard YouTube is using HTML5 video in beta, and it may be running in a few months. Would this auto-correct my problem do you think?
Is there a way to find the native file in the YouTube channel and bypass the .swf reference?
was wondering if I could get some direction on something that I have been wondering about for a while. There have several flash video players that I have seen that only start to load/play the video when the object is visible on the screen.
For instance, if I click a link to an html page with an auto playing flv on it, and then minimize the window. The video will only start to play/load once I maximize the window again. The other instance I have seen it is with the position of the page. So if an flv is placed onto a long html page, all the way at the bottom, it will only begin to load/play once I have scrolled to make it visible.
I have done some searching but have not been able to determine what this would even be refered to as. Is it controlled by Javascript or Actionscript, or is this just a the way flash player functions?
I'm faced with a problem from my employer on making a flash video play when an image is rolled over. In a sense, with many images on the page (which represent a video), the user can preview a small sample of that clip when rolled over by the mouse. I know that when the image is rolled over I must somehow bring the player infront of the image using z-index, but can't seem to work out the details oh how to get it to play.
Does anyone have any examples I can draw from in order to help me complete this task?
This is what I have so far which works as a cross-browser download however Firefox will play the video locally inside the popup window: is this normal behaviour?This is a very new area for me as you can probably tell and I was wondering if websites require a flash player to view video or do some browsers have a flash player built in as Firefox has led me to believe?
I am extremely new to javascript. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around it. I have learned that one must create, read, and delete a cookie. But what is the function for a 2nd time visitor to NOT see the flash video again when revisiting? I want the 2nd time visitor to see the same page, only without the video, the video will be replaced by a contact form.This is what I have so far:
<script type="text/javascript"> function createCookie(myCookie,value,365) { if (days) {
I'm using the simple jQuery below to hide/show either a flash video using our Brightcove account or a slideshow of images. If you click Video, the video displays. If you play the video and then click on Slideshow the video stops playing and you see the image slideshow. This works beautifully in everything but IE. If you play the video and then click on the Slideshow link, the sound of the video bleeds through the slideshow. I've used conditional commenting to remove the object using $("object").remove(); but I'm not sure how to restore the object.
I found this article over devness: [URL] It is fantastic, but I'm a complete n00b and I was wondering what the JavaScript would look like if the situation was a little different. Picture this: A Super Mario sprite with him standing normally, but to his right is the word "Home". Upon roll over of either the sprite itself or the text, mario does one of his trademark jumps by the way of a few sprites. I know how to do this in flash, but I would like to eliminate it so I have maximum compatibility and no external plugins required.
I seem to have coded myself into a corner, and I'm hoping you can help me out.On a product demo page, I have set up popup video modals based on hidden divs. Everything works great.exceptIn IE (all versions as far as I can tell)When the video window is closed (div hidden), the video keeps playing. This does not happen in any other browser. URL...[code]I have implemented it on a test video. It stops the video playing when the window is closed, but when the user clicks the video a second time, it won't play at all.The only alternative I can see, is to make a "new window" pop up for each video (which is not what the designers wanted)[code]
is it possibile to detect and prevent through javascript the opening of a new window caused by a embedded flash object? In the html code this embedded object resides within a given div with id.
I would want to know about it because every time I open the page, the flash embedded object opens another window, and it is a little bit noisy.
I see when I post a link to Facebook for a youtube video that it shows a thumbnail. When i click the thumbnail it plays the video right there on my facebook page.
I am wondering how do they do that trick?
So, let me take a guess.
Facebook is probably using some RSS feed aggregator to pull the info from YouTube.
They probably are also using maybe jQuery + CSS to hide the video at first. When you click the thumbnail it shows the video and then the video begins playing.
So, two questions: if that is how they do it then How do they make the hidden video not play when the page loads? how do they get it to start playing automatically once the video is revealed?
I have a video gallery with a bigger div with width 500 pixels where the main video is waiting to be played and below is a smaller div with all the others videos from the gallery having width of 80 pixels.The list of video are managed by a content management system in PHP and are the result of youtube "Share Embed action" where the result is an iframe with the link for the video.How can i clicking on a video from the smaller div see the video being displayed in the bigger div ? already playing? or in a new layer above the website ?For now the video plays in the div it is located at.As an example here is the source video format :
The purpose of the code is to slideToggle open one of two hidden sub-nav bars when either of two different menu items are clicked upon - instead of a drop down menu. What doesn't work is the hiding of the div that is not required, if it is already open. Viewing in firebug shows that the appropriate classes are being applied - I suspect the reason is that slideToggle has been somehow set and cannot be unset via another object - but perhaps that is not it at all?
$(document).ready(function() { //add .toggle function to appropriate li element $('#hozmenu li:nth-child(4)').toggle(function () { //set 4th menu links colour to be green whilst div is shown $('#hozmenu li:nth-child(4) a').css('color', '#95d890'); $('#toggle_nav_services').removeClass('toggle_show'); [Code]....
Ok so I'm using FxMenu 4.1.1 on my website at the moment. I figured that I wanted to keep the menu static so it wouldnt ahve to reload everytime someone clicked on page. I made a 3-framed framset with a header,center, and a footer. The center consists of the menu and an iframe. The pages that load from clicked on the menu items load in the iframe. Here's my problem: if I load a flash movie or whatever in the iframe it overlaps the menu. Code:
I'm new to the jQuery realm but have been messing with it quite a bit lately. What i'm looking to do is to replicate this menu without Flash:Horizontal Menu(not exactly but in general, where the menu stays on the side and follows the mouse up and down which has additional navigation in it once rolled over.)
I've done extensive Googling and have yet to come across an example or tutorial or jQuery plugin on how to do something along those lines. Do any of you have a link to a tutorial and/or example of this being done with jQuery or alike?
i am using brother cake drop down menu script for my college website, however below the drop down menu is a flash, the problem is the drop down menu cannot shown over the flash area, it appears as being cut, any body can help me?
