Layers on Dynamically built Pages
|

| yardhottie69 2005-07-15, 7:33 pm |
| I have a client that I would like to have a flash ad appear for about 25
seconds, then have the layer close. The flash dissappears, but the "Layer"
persists. This interfares with the links and navigational layers.
I attempted to use DW timeline feature on the "news" page to shoot the layer
something like -1200px to the left. but this seems to not work at all. the
flash comes up but it wont go anywhere.
<cfinclude template="/template/header.cfm">
<cfinclude template="/main/news/banner.cfm">
<cfinclude template="news.cfm">
<cfinclude template="/template/footer.cfm">
the header and footer are persistent on the entire site and contains the
global navigation, so we dont want to put the layer in there. problem is that
the news.cfm is built out by cf being fed by a DB.
Any ideas? HELP!!!!

You cannot hide a layer that contains flash content. Even if you place
your layer on a timeline so that after 20 seconds it desappears, the
flash content will not desappear, beacause Flash is its own active
content that is independant from your html code.

| That's not correct, seb. Have you tried it?

nice.
my wrong.
once more I am a bit more enlightened.
What was wrong in my post about the timeline wasn't wrong about the
show/hide layer behavior though, which will not hide Flash content that
is in a hidden layer.

| No, you're wrong about that too. Check this -

What doesn't work is to try to COVER Flash with a layer, like a pop-up menu.
In that case you need to resort to wmode or something....

It's a failsafe method that is guaranteed to help both you and the OP.

| Thank you for your comments. I see that it is possible to use a timeline to
move a layer out of the way. The main problem it seems is when I do a
"cfinclude" to include the template that I want to use to display the flash and
accompaning layer. everything changes. seems that the timeline is being
overlooked. We think its because of the way cf builds out the content. perhaps
I should include the js somewhere else? has anyone had these problems?

| What is in your cfinclude?

| <cfinclude template="/template/header.cfm">
//this has the navigational elements that are layer and js based.
<cfinclude template="/main/news/banner.cfm">
//this has a js based slideshow that rotates ad banners
<cfinclude template="news.cfm">
//dynamic content with a scheduled task that is updated frequently using a
content manager and used throughout the site for current news.
<cfinclude template="/template/footer.cfm">
//simple site map elements
The idea is that I would like to have a layer that goes over the news page,
then slide it over so users will have access to links in the news stories on
the main page.
