Ahhh yes... this looks more promising - Thanks Oldnewbie...

Thanks for your trouble wikfx, but that was what I meant by 'swings and roundabouts'... They don't seem keen on plain english!

Hi... Microsoft released an update to Explorer in February 2006 that causes a Flash movie embedded on a HTML page to show a box around it and a popup text that reads 'click to activate and use this control'. I've looked at the tech notes from Microsoft and Adobe, and also downloaded the latest...

Very sorry folks, it was a bug on my machine! - it works fine now... Please accept my apologies for being a numpty...

Does anyone know to link to a named anchor on an html page from flash? Using the 'Get URL' command, it will finds the html page, but doesn't jump to the anchor?? Any ideas anybody? Thanks in advance...

Hi... I sometimes find that when exporting a header to a Website with multiple slices and navigation buttons, the exported table has a border, or splits up with spaces in between, regardless of the settings for export in the options tab. I've tried all combinations. Has anyone else found this...

In fireworks itself... Make sure your on the 'Show slice' mode, and select your button. From here you can click drag your flyout to any position. For fine tuning to a pixel value, select the button, click the little circular reticle in the middle, and a flyout menu will pop up. Select 'edit...

This looks like an answer I know, but bear with me... I've created a custom email template for Outlook express. I authored it first in dreamweaver and set the table width to 550 - the recommended width for most email browsers - previewed the page, selected all, and copy and pasted into Word...

When I place an iframe in a page, in IE it displays with a horizontal scroll bar - regardless of the size of the page its displaying. I've tried setting to page within the iframe to fixed pixel sizes, and also different sizes on the iframe, but no matter what I do there's always a pointless...

Sorry for the late reply - thanks for that... It also solves the mistery of the overlapping flash movies that are appearing more and more.

I've noticed that on an html page containing a Fireworks fly-out menu, any Flash movies that are temporarily overlapped by the menu on mouse-over - still run on top - whereas other page elements run behind. Is it possible to get it to run behind, and if so, is it an export setting in Flash or...

Hi there... Does anybody know how to tell a Flash movie to go to a particular frame or label just by opening an HTML page? Reason being, a Flash navigation movie (running on the page)would go to the part of the movie that represents the HTML page, such as a highlight, or animation etc. So in...

Thanks Oldnewbie for that - Yes that will do it!

I'm trying to give people the option to open a pdf in their browser, or download it. Very easy to do on an HTML page, using the right click, and then 'Save target as', but how can you do this in Flash... obviously you can't right click here, without getting the Player interface. Thanks in...

Now we're talking... I'll try that later - thanks!
