keeping it all within the player?

[NathanG]

Hi all,

I found that with many of my swf exported applications, some stuff simply wouldnt stay within the frame when I ran it in flash.

For example, If I had a long line of scrolling text that had to cross the frame horiziontaly it would be outside the frame when I ran it it flash....

I dont know if others of you have been abnoyed by this. or tried to find workarounds.....

but.... I have a simple solution.... If you insert the following code in the html no objects will leak outside the frame when played in flash... It works great every time too....

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

Hope this helps anyone that is experiencing problems.

Hmm I wonder if that works for subapps that won't follow the frame?

[NathanG]

might be worth a try. I do know that that small line of code has saved my asss lol. My site had objects leaking all over the place. Now its so good I have been asked to do work for other sites.

Well, I tried inserting that HTML code into my game's program and apparently it doesn't work for subapps failing to follow the frame in SWF but thanks for the tip nonetheless.

I havn't tried to use sub apps in flash, Do they have their own html? or does only the main app have html?

I know if you don't use the "exactFit" option in the FlashFX extension, stuff has a habit of display outside the frame.

Neither have HTML, the main app is the SWF and sub-apps are just frames from the main app that are running inside the current frame.
