White background flashes (visible) before Flash content loads #340

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use SWF Object to embed Flash using approved methods
2. Use the Background Color param and the white remains
3. White flash lasts longer if SWF file is larger.

Expected output would be a color matching the preferred background color. 
E.g. if I'm using black, I would be okay if the SWF Object div was filled
with black during the load time.

Using V2.

The background color set for the Flash object will only be used when the swf 
has 
actually loaded enough to be written to the page. The color of the div / page 
will 
show until that time.

Can you please make a test page using the standard object / embed to ensure 
that it 
is specifically caused by using SWFObject?

If it is demonstrated that SWFObject is behaving differently than a standard 
embed, 
please supply a test page which can be investigated.

or search the list as I am sure there are threads regarding this already.

This issue is not SWFObject related.

I have a very clean installation of SWFObject on the pages below.  In IE 
particularly,
you'll see a Flash of white where I've embedded Flash using SWFObject.  I'm 
using Flash for the
entire body of the index.html page and the main menu on the top right of the 
resources.html page. The 
container DIVs, the Flash file (FLA/SWF) itself, and the SWFObject all share 
the background code #333333, and 
the body is #000 but the "blink" before it loads is definitely white and 
happens every time you re-open the page.  
It is more prevalent with a cleared cache.  Both pages are 100% XHTML compliant.

Hi Guys, any solution for this syndrome yet? I can only say that in my case it
flashes white with swfobject and does not with Flash published HTML file which I
don't want to use.

I'm having this issue as well. I'm comment out the JS include for swfobject 
2.0, and
the white flash does not occur, with the swobject JS it does occur. This is
definitely related to the js file.

Using SWFObject - dynamic publishing:

var flashparams = {
    wmode: "transparent"
};

swfobject.embedSWF("movie.swf", "width", "height", flashversion, 
flashexpressinstallswfurl, flashvars, 
flashparams, flashattributes);

I have the same issue. The whole page "flashes" white and then it displays the 
content. It only happens when attaching the JS file. (v.2.2)

So if I comment out this line (see below) on the swfobject.js file it works 
fine.

    isDomLoaded = true;
        var dl = domLoadFnArr.length;
        for (var i = 0; i < dl; i++) {
-----> //domLoadFnArr[i]();            
}

There's got to be something going on with the code... what exactly is it doing?

Same issue on my site. The whole page flashes, even if there is no flash on the 
site but swfobject.

I also spent ages trying to figure out what was the problem here. Finally I 
started to exclude blocks from my HTML page, one by one, and figured out the 
issue is with SWFobject. 
I found this page and neither answer helps me resolve my blonk issue.

After some try-n-error attempts, I figured out the solution for this issue:

setTimeout ! We need to delay initializing the flash for some half a second. 
* IT WORKS only for SWFobject 2.1, not working for 2.2 ! *

Example:

<div id=myplayer style="display: none;"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  setTimeout("swfobject.embedSWF('pl.swf', 'myplayer', '1', '1', '9.0.0', 'expressInstall.swf', false,false,false);", 500);
</script>

I cannot reproduce this problem, but:
If I remember correctly, SWFObject creates a CSS rule that sets the div's 
visibility so that it is invisible.  Then after loading the SWF, the visibility 
is set to visible.  This is the only possible thing I can think of that could 
cause this problem.
There are also an assortment of browser quirks that can cause background 
flashing.

Also, what version of the browser are you testing on?

I can't believe this project is not yet fixed. Is SWFObject still a viable 
option? Dose anymore work on this project anymore?

For some reason, deleting this part fixed the embed issue in IE for me:
parameters.scale = "noscale";
