is there a way to crop a swf with embed settings alone? i don't have access to the original fla because the damn thing was deleted (not by me) and a lot is riding on a simple change to the footer of the flash file. it's really important. please save my arse

you could use css to put the swf on the bottom layer and an image on the top layer to create a new footer shielding the lower layer and whatever you are trying to hide

show me what you got to work with.

fuck it use divs to hide it in a frame that'd be a quicker hack/fix

it's not possible, regular content will not appear over flash content by setting a higher z-index, i've tried that . thanks though
- version30
it does work we've talked about here plenty of times
you are doing something wrong

iframes and so on wont work.
believe me. the only thing i think i can possibly do is crop it with the embed settings

okay then what am i doing wrong? explain to me how to set a gif over flash content in a div layer...

good luck finding solutions on your own

buy this program. it should be able to convert your swf to a .fla file...

sorry, if i came off like i have a tude, just really curious, how does someone layer a gif over flash content to effectively patch a new graphic overtop?
- dbloc0

a ghetto fix would be making a viewer swf at the crop size you need. have that viewer load and position that swf file?

even easier. set the height smaller so that it crops itself. this will only work if you set scaling to noscale... good luck
- version30
cram-
your idea centers the movie and crops the top and bottom

can't you make a shell swf, then import the old swf into it and crop it?
- dbloc0
good call gabriel import the swf into an MC an then mask it.
