I have a banner made by Bannerzest embedded on a site as a flash and also an html5 for mobiles. The Bannerzest file does not allow to stop the movement by hovering or clicking. Then I thought perhaps it can be done by a clever code, action or something in Freeway, halting the page so to speak? Any suggestions out there?

Anyone?
Even a clear no from somebody would be a help as I would look for a completely different solution.
This is one of the pages, a flash generated by Bannerzest and automatically turned into html5 on mobile devices: http://www.jonhalvorsen.com/people.html

Not unless that Flash file has been authored in such a way that it can be accessed by JavaScript, and has that property enabled. I tried to do this once for a client, and while we could get one or two movies to stop when we told them to, most could not be stopped because they were actually nested (at the code level). I would send the command to the outer shell, so to speak, and it would “stop”, but the inner movie would keep right on playing without a comma.

Thank you, Walter. That I would say is as near a no as one can get, especially with my (lack of) code knowledge.
But, Bannerzest also outputs an html5 version. Could that somehow be an easier match?

That would depend on what the actual media were – there’s lots of ways to animate in HTML5, some of them are scriptable.
Having a look right now at the JS they use, this line strikes me as really ugly:
if (navigator.appVersion.match('WebKit') && navigator.vendor.match('Apple')) {
That’s only going to do HTML5 on Apple Safari (desktop or mobile), forgetting Chrome, whatever they use on Android, etc., not to mention every other browser that does HTML5 – which is most of them besides IE < 10. Very short-sighted, IMO.
Reading on, I see a reference to MooTools (which scares me because it cannot be mixed with any other framework, and your page already has Prototype in it) and the rest is so abstracted (variables standing in for path segments) that I can’t work out how to read the rest of the HTML5 script. If you could zip the entire output from BannerZest and post the Zip on your server somewhere, I could look further into this.

Hm, I didn’t understand all what you said but it sounded ominous and not good, that’s for sure.
I do use Hype, a html5 generator, from time to time, but it is much more tedious. However, I’ve uploaded a zip file as you requested and I would be happy if you could have a look when convenient for you.
