Firefox, flash, _menuCloseDelay: not functioning over flash

[Ruth]

Hi,

I did get it to work, but I don't know why it doesn't work the way you have it.

If you set up the flash div like this, it will work

Code: Select all

<DIV><!-- Directory LeftNav 02 -->
<SCRIPT src="insert_active_flash.js"></SCRIPT>
<DIV id=myFlashDiv>
<SCRIPT>
myFlashObject=new Object
myFlashObject.movie="/images/en_US/local/page_specific/index/index_garagesale.swf"
myFlashObject.quality="high"
myFlashObject.wmode="transparent"
myFlashObject.width=556
myFlashObject.height=100
myFlashObject.version="5,0,0,0"
				
commitFlashObject(myFlashObject, "myFlashDiv")
			</SCRIPT>
</DIV>     
 <DIV><IMG height=14 src="spacer01.gif" width=556  border=0></DIV>

I downloaded and tested this on your page. You will have to get the insert active flash file

http://milonic.com/insert_active_flash.js

Here is the info on activating the flash, which explains in detail about the two methods to do this, but I know the method I posted above works in IE6. I don't have 7 to test.

I know it seems you have followed the directions, but perhaps for some reason you need to use the other method that I posted???? You would have to contact Milonic for support to find out why that method isn't working, that is beyond my capabilities.

Hi, Ruth--
Yes in IE7, the menus are transparent.
I, too, am thinking it is in the flash or something somewhere in the code.
Whooppee!
I'll be continuing to mess with it as well when time allows and will frequently check this forum in case you or someone discovers what the issue may be.
In the meantime--Thanks for your help and Happy Holidays!

Hi,

It will work if you use that method I posted to activate the flash. That is the method supported by Microsft. As to looking back to see if the one your are using is fixed, you'll need to make out a support ticket to Milonic. Since you have a professional license still in the support time frame you can go here

http://milonic.com/support/

Make sure you log in under the name used when you purchased the menu, then just fill out what is necessary i.e. create new support ticket. You'll see the other options, so once reported you could check there to see what's up on this issue.

Happy New Year, Ruth!

Yes, Milonic's flash page menus are transparent in IE7 as well as IE6, but not in FF.

I too will be looking into this time permitting and when--rather than if; being optimistic--I find the solution, I'll let you know.

I'll also be checking this forum frequently just in case you beat me to it.

Just a note, the Milonic example will not be transparent in FF ever since milonic has not coded any css for that. The transparency you see in IE is do to the overfilter/outfilter stuff. Those filters are created by Microsoft for IE, they do not work in other browsers. To get the transparency in other browsers you MUST use css.
