flash and status bar popups (glitch 7.09)

ok found yet another bad glitch....

seems the status bar (when on the bottom) does not want to go over top of flash.

ie:board or chat on screen... checking friends on line... bad glitch all messed up.

can not read it it is ilegable.

is there a fix?

This applies to all  menus. It is not the menu or status bar that is at fault but badly coded flash. You need to insert the <opaque> command when you enter the code that pulls your flash into a block. This will rectify the problem.

Hpe it helps,

ok i can do that? I will need the command they are using now so I can grep search and replace it...

and the directory is flash right? let me know so I can correct this problem.. it is indeed very annoying.

and thanks a million for solving it, i just need a little more info

Ok... so you store the swf files somewhere on your server? I usually have a fash folder or place the swf file into the videos folder if it is a video, but it doesnt matter. it can even bi in your root folder if you like.

You then open a block and insert html to pull the SWF file into the block. There is a free SWF embed code generator in the market that des a great job of producing the required code.... But it does not include this line:

<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />

You need to include this line in the HTML and everything will sit fine and no menues will sit under it.

the instructions are vague...

I did not find any.. what directory are they in and how do i add that line of code.

remember i am only a beginner

hi,

I was a beginner too when i learned this lol.... so here goes.

If you have flash on your site the flash (.swf) file must be stored online somewhere. The flash you want to use will already be located either on the web somewhere on on your server.  I always store the .swf files of any flash on my site on my own server.  so, first you need to know the URL address for the .swf files.

Is the flash on your site in a block? Flash can be either in a block (which is what I use always) or can be injected (I cant do this). Flash in a block is easy to move around the page etc. To get you flash to show in a block you have to use the embed code generator. It will ask you to enter the URL and the height and width of the flash player.

once you submit this it will give you some code. copy the code into word and then add the line of code anywhere.  then copy the code and create a html block on the dolphin page. paste the code into the block and that should do it... I do have examples i can send after work if you need them. : )

can i pay you to get it working? paypal? I can't find it anywhere and its pretty much stock dolphin 7.09

if so private email me your paypal address and i will send you details and money.. just let me know how much.

If it is simple joe, I will try to squeeze it in for free... it depends what it is. i will take a look for you. message me with a url for your site and the page it is on and tell me what the flash is so that I can see the best way to do it. : )

i have a issue where the chat bar at the bottom of the site you can click the tabs like friends online and so on try it at www.weshareunited.com please help.....
