Highslide integration.

[rhernando]

Hi,

Maybe a lot of the users here know or works with highslide, for those that doesn't know about it, is a very good javascript application for viewing images and any other content that you want (google it and you find out).

The thing is that i integrated a book that i created for work with highslide but the outline of the popup and dimming veil behind it doesn't appear, as is shown in the image


This should be like this: (click on any of the links or the green rectangle in the flash movie)
Link

I know that this is an issue of other application, but maybe more people could find interesting or appealing using highslide in combination with Megazine.

Thank you in advance for any ideas,
Rodrigo.

Hi,

I've been working on this and i set up a test page here so you can see what happens.

In firefox it shows the main container but the border and dimmer (black veil over the page) get behind the megazine book. In ie8 the entire popup get behind the megazine book.

I changed the flasvar to allow transparent in the html code:

Code: [Select]

/* Determines whether to enable transparency (show HTML background). Not recommended (slow). Use book/background instead. */
wmode: "transparent"

But nothing happens.

So i think it has to do with something else, but i don't have a clue of what it could be, so any help or ideas are welcome.

Thanks,
Rodrigo

Hi,

Hmmmmmm........... there is a phrase that saids:"never underestimate the limits of human stupidity...." now i wuold have to say, never underestimate MY OWN stupidity...

The solution was simplier than i was thinking about. It was just a matter of adding this:

Code: [Select]

WMode: "Transparent"At the end of this:

Code: [Select]

var params = {
menu: "false",
/* Necessary for proper scaling of the content. */
scale: "noScale",
/* Necessary for fullscreen mode. */
allowFullscreen: "true",
/* Necessary for SWFAddress and other JavaScript interaction. */
allowScriptAccess: "always",
/* This is the background color used for the Flash element. */
bgcolor: "#333333"
};So it looks like this:

Code: [Select]

var params = {
...
bgcolor: "#333333",
WMode: "Transparent"
};
I will prepare a tutorial for the integration of highslide with megazine, because i saw a few people asking about the use of megazine with a popup type of app. Of course this may take sometime because the uses of highslide are quite a few and so far i have it working launching it from a swf and just for ajax content, so i will look into how to use it with a gallery and iframe.

Thanks anyway,
Rodrigo.
