wmode opaque is broken

Posted: Apr 1, 2010

I know there is already one post about this, but perhaps the person submitted the bug wasn't clear enough.

1. Set wmode to 'opaque'
2. In FF 3.5+ : Dragging scrubber will drag entire player
3. In Google Chrome : Nothing is clickable at all

This is a serious bug, as I believe almost everyone will need to display something over the player at some point, such as Log-In windows, various messages...etc . At this point, the player is unusable. I've purchased the licence to a broken product, and I'd like someone to fix it.

Noone has even responded to the previous report yet.

Sounds like a bug in those browsers. Does it work better with some other Flash component?

I cannot reproduce this problem with firefox 3.5.7 or 3.6.2 or chrome 4.1.249.1045 (42898).

Can you provide a link to the page which is not working, your flash version, and flowplayer version? Without those details it is going to be extremely hard to help you.

OS: Windows Vista

Flash: 10,0,45,2
Flowplayer: flowplayer.commercial-3.1.5.swf

No online demo, just working locally on my computer.

FF version: Firefox/3.5.8 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Chrome Version: 5.0.342.8

My JS:

this.player = $f(player_container, {
 src: "swf/flowplayer.commercial-3.1.5.swf",
 wmode: 'opaque'
 },.....});

Load that in mentioned browsers, and you should be able to see wierd behaviour when dragging the scrubber.

Here is the online Demo, I uploaded for you:

Strangly, the google Chrome problem went away when I stripped all my code off the demo, but the FireFox bug stays put.

Try changing the "a" tag to a div. and then the player_container to 'div.player' instead of 'a.player'. Does that work?

Yes it Does! Thank you!

You should mention that at your http://flowplayer.org/documentation/installation/index.html page
