Overlay: Video keeps playing in IE7 Doesnt work with Opera

Posted: Nov 5, 2008

I was browsing the documentation and was checking out the page below:

http://beta.flowplayer.org/tools/overlay.html

with IE7.

When clicking on the "Video" button the player comes up in an overlay as it should, but if you press the "X" in the upper right hand corner the overlay closes, but you can still hear the audio playing in the background.

After i discovered this, i went ahead and checked the same page with all the other browsers i have installed: (latest versions)

Safari
Opera
Firefox

It appears that it works as it should with Safari and Firefox, but none of the overlays work with Opera at all.

I just wanted to make you aware of my findings!

Thanks!

Opera required that those A tags that launch overlays have "href" attributes in them. This caused them not to work. Now they work.

But overlay tool had an additional problem on Opera that caused background images not to render correclty. Also that is fixed and overlays are now working everywhere on Flowplayer website.

Thank you for this important bug report.

Perfect it does now work in Opera.

Any ideas on what might be happening in IE7?

IE7 is a tricky one.

I certainly spotted your problem and will be investigating it. But now I have to go to sleep.

When overlay is closed IE7 sound is also cleared. The whole issue is fixed and now when player is unloaded it is made sure that also Flash player is cleared in every browser.
