FLASH element overlapping LIGHTBOX PICS

Re: FLASH element overlapping LIGHTBOX PICS

Hi, think think Tom's idea will work best for this one (Top left). With the situation with using flash & the light box not working, you will be better off not having the flash within view, if a visitor clicks on a ring. Wont look very professional.

Re: FLASH element overlapping LIGHTBOX PICS

Looks good Neil, although I agree with Chris. Visitors might get a bit frustrated when they enlarge the images and then click to close the window. When they do that they are out of your website and must open it again.

It will work very well if you could open each image in a pop-up that does not trigger a warning on the visitors' screen. See post number 2 by king Navaldesign in this thread. Click here. You can then add a close button on the pop-up as well.

Or if using the gallery, set it to open with popups. See the Styles tab.

Re: FLASH element overlapping LIGHTBOX PICS

If nyoman's recipe will work then i will do both (script and changes in lay out). This site will officially go online wednesday next week with a new domain name.

Other links not yet working because site is still under construction.

Thanks again.

Neil

flash will not overlapping lightbox with this parameter. if you are using bluevoda, make the code like this:

><param name="wmode" value="transparent"

right click your flash go to html and inside tag insert the code above.

Re: FLASH element overlapping LIGHTBOX PICS

Hi Chris,

I also want to test this a bit later. Regarding your code, must
<param name="wmode" value="Window">
be included? I'm taking a fat chance here...lol...

Hi Tom, not sure if i may have put the code in wrong, but couldn't get it to work in FF or IE. I think this one came up before, & i don't think it was solved then. Might be wrong.

Cheers.

Hi Chris
Just copy my code

><param name="wmode" value="transparent"

no more and no less , insert inside tag of flash html on bluevoda. your code on your test page is missing > at the begining

...But NOT in FireFox....

Would you perhaps a fix for this Nyoman? Otherwise, good one for the favorites.

Re: FLASH element overlapping LIGHTBOX PICS

Hi all
i notice that Bluevoda has this option itself, so no need to add any code manually. on bluevoda double click your flash movie go to window mode, select transparent or opaque, work fine in IE,FF,mozilla

and for you non bluevoda user, you can apply this code in object tag

[FONT=Courier New]<param name="wmode" value="transparent">[/FONT]

and insert this code inside embed tag

[FONT=Courier New]wmode="transparent"[/FONT]

ENJOY

Hi, you should be able to add text with most image software/programs. If you don't have one there is a good free one at this link.
