I am beginning to love some things about swish that makes me want to continue on using it.
But yet some things I can't get over.
I am a brand new user.
My question is, and the thing I can't figure out is...
"Why does the created movie appear to be a solid white box when loading in Internet Explorer?
And a black line on the right side of it? When in Mozilla it looks just fine.......
to view visit the project:
www.marianosilver.com
Is this problem fixable?

...I think it's the way you embed the swf into your site, e.g...
[quote]<iframe src="http://marianosilver.com/swf/MarianoSilverIntro05.swf" width="490" height="230" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0"">[/quote]

...the white square is there because you don't have any reference about transparency in your HTML coding, if you would use the HTML coding produced by SWiSH Max and have used the transparency setting of the HTML export panel, it would look like this...

...btw, I've just noticed that you've posted this at the SWiSH Lite forum - what version of SWiSH (Help/About SWiSH) are you using?

I am using Swish Lite & Yahoo Site Builder
the help I used was from the Yahoo's Site Builder which instructed how to insert a flash object.

Are you saying to insert the code above into an html box instead of an iframe?
Oh, okay you're saying that Swish produces html codes as well as the exporting swf files
and that there's an option before the html code is produced to where I can choose transparent mode?

...sorry, no - not with SWiSH Lite (it's over 6 years old) - you would require a more recent version of SWiSH and also SWiSH Lite's limited to export as swf 4.

[twilightone]

are you sure?
If I go >file>publish>
it seems as if it does save as html

[Wolf Gross]

...you're right - I have not used Lite in years - go to the "Export" panel and use the "Window Mode" - "Transparent Windowless" and then use the HTML coding from that page, it should look like this...

okay, will try
I'll come back to let you know what happened

[twilightone]

okay, got the html code.
Used insert html tool in Yahoo Site Builder, but when viewed showed absolutely nothing.
I'm missing a step here
How are you inserting this code?

Edited by twilightone, 02 August 2010 - 10:03 AM.

[Wolf Gross]

...works here - http://wolfgross.com/SWISH/lite/ - check out the source.

[twilightone]

Thanks, but
how would you insert the code onto a web page you are building.
Yahoo Sitebuilder has an insert html function
A box appears on the page and you just implant the code
when done that way, nothing showed up
Is there another way to insert this code on a wysiwyg web page?

[Wolf Gross]

>>how would you insert the code onto a web page you are building - open the page with "Notepad" or "WordPad" and insert it manually (copy and paste) and save the changes.

Okay, manually I inserted it onto the web page I was working on
and when viewed, nothing was there
Is there another way to insert this code

[Wolf Gross]

...well, that's what I did here - http://wolfgross.com/SWISH/lite/ - and as you can see it's working.
