» » Anchor tag causes full-screen problems with wmode = transparent

Posted: Mar 13, 2009

I think it's supposed to work after flash version 9,0,115,0.

Anchor tag causes full-screen problems with wmode = transparent

Posted: Mar 13, 2009

In Firefox 3 on a PC, if I use this code:


flowplayer("videoplayer", { src: "http://flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.0.7.swf", wmode: 'transparent'});

with this HTML:


 <a id="videoplayer" href="http://player-e7.simplecdn.net/flowplayer.flv"></a>

entering full screen causes the bottom quarter of the video to freeze. The rest of the screen shows the rest of the playing video fine, and the buttons all work. Returning to normal restores playback fully, and the problem is repeatable.

If I remove the "wmode:'transparent'" part, everything is fine (although then my navigation menu is covered by the video, which is why I need the wmode).

However (and here's the weird part), if I replace the anchor tag with a div, instead, like this:


<div id="videoplayer" href="http://player-e7.simplecdn.net/flowplayer.flv"></div>

everything works correctly! (Yes, I know div's aren't supposed to have href's. It also works with an empty div and a call to $f().play() in the JS, but this shows the contrast better, I thought).

So: weird bug, with easy workaround.

Newbie question: can this be done with a plugin?

Posted: Mar 11, 2009

Our client is very interested in this question, too. I'm just starting to try out Flowplayer, though, so please forgive me if this question is moronic. Could a Flash plugin be used to hit the tracking script on the home site?

IE6 behaviour different with hostname in URL for clip

Posted: Mar 7, 2009

If I use a URL to my clip, like

clip: "http://my.domain.com/path/to/video.flv"

everything works fine. However, if I use a URI (no hostname or protocol), like

clip: "/path/to/video.flv"

the video still loads and plays fine, but IE6 reports "Errors on page", with an error that reads "null is null, or not an object". The problem is that it prevents IE from running the behavior csshover3.htc, so none of my navigation menus work.

Although there is a clear workaround (i.e., just include the locator), if it's something easy to fix it might save others the hours I spent trying to track down the problem.
