Flash players

[Anonymous]

Ryan, Great plug-in. Worked first time, and it’s now even easier to config.

The only problem I’ve found is that when you use it with dynamic content (e.g., flash players) near the menus, the drop-downs drop down behind the other content.

So (unfortunately) I can’t use it on my site, but great job anyway. Bruce.

Yeah, I’m going to need to fix that problem with flash players displaying over the top of the dropdowns. I’m not sure how though.

Can you send me a link to the problem you are having with flash players? I’d only noticed this on others sites. But when I tried it on my test blog with a YouTube video, I didn’t have this problem at all.

Hi guys,

Great plug-in ryan…

for that flash thing its related to your flash setting. It needs to be on transparent. Otherwise the flash will pop over when hovering. hope it helps. You can set your swf settings in flash or in the generated html output.

cheers

What is the code/parameters for setting a section of Flash code as "Transparency"? If someone can check out the flash on the main page of http://www.thewafflecabin.com, and let me know where to put in the code to make it transparent, and where to put?  Thank you again everyone.

You need to add this between your OBJECT tags:
[code:2gvtv6ho]<param name="wmode" value="transparent">[/code:2gvtv6ho]

And this in an EMBED tag
[code:2gvtv6ho]wmode="transparent"[/code:2gvtv6ho]

So your code should look something like this:
[code:2gvtv6ho]
<object>
  <param value="blabla.swf" / >
  <param name="wmode" value="transparent" / >
  <embed src="transparency.swf" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
  </embed>
</object>[/code:2gvtv6ho]

The code that I’m using for flash looks nothing like the one you post (which I know is like most flash codes)

The one I’m working with is

"<div id=’_wp_cincopa_9efb91ec-4261-483f-a9af-64db782b9b8a’><img src=’http://wpplugin.cincopa.com/wpplugin/loading.gif&#8217; /><a href=’http://wpplugin.cincopa.com/wpplugin/view.aspx?fid=%5bcincopa+p3+10469734%5d’><img title=’Powered By Cincopa’ border=0 src=’http://wpplugin.cincopa.com/wpplugin/styles/bycincopa.gif&#8217; /></a></div>
<script src=’http://wpplugin.cincopa.com/wpplugin/widget.aspx&#8217; type=’text/javascript’>
</script>
<script type=’text/javascript’>
_wp_widget_tag = ‘%5bcincopa+p3+10469734%5d’;
wp_widget_show(document.getElementById ? document.getElementById(‘_wp_cincopa_9efb91ec-4261-483f-a9af-64db782b9b8a’) : document.all);
</script>"

Let me know within that HTML where I would put a code to make it transparent. Thanks Ryan. Great Great plug.

That is javascript, not Flash.

[Anonymous]

Yeah, I just figured that out.  The guy who’s helping me with the plug (the javascript plug) said

"Transparent will not work because this is not a flash component that you are using.  The way to know that is to right-click on the photo and see what menu to you get. (When you right-click on a flash object you will get the flash movie).

So this is actually a z-index issue that I would assume that the menu plugin that you are using should resolve.

The way to solve it is to bring the menu up (style=’z-order:100;’) because if you send the slideshow to the back it will go behind the background.  change the div that holds the tag to this <div style="margin-left:150px;position:absolute;z-order:-10;"> and see for yourself."

I changed the "div" which was originally to the one he suggested "<div style="margin-left:150px;position:absolute;z-order:-10;">" and the thing went hay wire off the screen to the right.  It’s just the frontpage of http://www.thewafflecabin.com that has this javascript.  I just need help on how to  implent this "Z-order" into the code to make the menu bar go in front of hte javascript.  Thanks Ryan and anyone else who responds.

It looks like it is working fine. Are you still needing help?

[Anonymous]

ah ha! I found it.  I posted 2 different posts regarding this same question and that post by Joe Banks got it figured out for me.  I was just trying to put the "z-index:1000" under #suckerfishnav alone and not also the #suckerfishnav ul.

Actually, playing with it now, the only place the "z-index:1000" needed to go under was the #suckerfishnav ul.  I took it out of #suckerfishnav and it still works.  Thank you!

Found this post through searching on it, and the tip’s still good. Anyone who’s struggling with PixoPoint and flash take a look at it (which is why I’ve given the topic a bump, here).

Great tip!
Thanks Brian!

[diletanti]

correct way is to add this –    z-index:1000;
under #suckerfishnav ul.
without ""
