Js lightbox w/ flash = wmode = opaque = problems!

I am currently building a flash site and want to incorporate a js lightbox to display artwork overtop the pages. From what I have read, the only way to allow content over flash is to set wmode = opaque or transparent. And that creates nothing but problems, particularly in Firefox. Is there anyway to use an application like a js lightbox and have it appear over flash without traveling into the "buggy" world of wmode? Is there a workaround? Or am I just one of the million people to complain about wmode?

Could someone please point me in the right direction? A discussion page, a tutorial? I know this really isn't AS3, but I don't know where else to look.

Flash wmode opaque/transparent cause UI messup

Hi,
We are using Flex to develope flash tool, we have issues when embedded in iframe, if we are using default window wmode, everything is working fine, but unfortunately we can't use this mode because the iframe has a dropdown list and has to be above our flash layer, so we use opaque mode, we find that there are following two major issues:
1. UI rendering is messed up when user scrolls up and down using the scroll bar
2. user can't type in non-ascii characters
The first issue is a killer for us, if anyone can shed some lights on it, that would be super, I really googled for a many hours without a good solution yet.

I have definitely experienced the same issue(s). I was able to overcome these issues by upgrading to a later version of the Flex SDK and wrapping all of my content in the appropriate control for scrolling, eg when scrolling spark components, wrap them in a Group.
There are a lot of weird bugs with Flash Player when using wmode:opaque. I can't scroll using my mouse wheel when using wmode:opaque, and weird things happen with text inputs. This is a major bug in Flash Player that really needs to be addressed.

Spry Menu+Flash Content: Visibility Problem in IE

Hi, I created a web page with Dreamweaver CS3, and I put a
Spry Menu just over a Flash Banner. I set the wmode to transparent
and it works fine on all browser except for IE. It still doesn't
display the submenus which are hidden by the .swf file.
I read some articles but none explaining how to fix this
problem. Anybody knows how to solve it? Thanks for any help!
The code is here in case I made some mistakes:

add this to the

ul.MenuBarVertical li.MenuBarItemIE a and give it a fixed

Wmode="opaque" causes poor video playback in IE

Hey all,
Website in question: http://www.lavalleprinting.com/newweb/defaultsample.asp
In building a new website for my company, I've created a page where javascript drop-down menus are intended to expand over/in front of a .flv video.
wmode="opaque" or wmode="transparent" allow the menus to appear on top of the video, but cause rough playback in all versions of IE. All other major browsers play smoothly.
If I remove the wmode parameter, the video plays smoothly in IE, but the menus appear behind it.
I've also tried reducing the bitrate of the video to an unwatchable 250kb/s, and playback is still choppy.
I'd like the video to play smoothly in IE. Is there any hope?

I hate to 'bump' this thread, but the doomsday of deployment is coming soon and I'd like to have this bug fixed.
Has anyone else run into the same problem? Is there some tweak I can make when encoding the .flv?

MouseLeave and mouseUp outside stage don't fire if wmode=opaque

http://fraticelli.info/temp/mouseFuncTest.html
Click and release on the stage. 'mouseDown' and 'mouseUp'
appear.
Mouse out of the stage. 'mouseLeave' appears.
Click and hold on the stage, then drag your cursor outside
the stage, then let go of the mouse button.
Neither 'mouseUp' or 'mouseLeave' fire.
Strangely this only happens if wmode=opaque!
Is Adobe aware of the problem? Are there any ways to work
around this?

This is actually good stuff and well written but I hesitate to advise people to use either the "oven trick" or really even the heat gun method as both are notriously short-lived even if they appear effective. Your far better bet is to send the board in to one of the vendors on the internet who are set up to do a proper reball. Even those fixes are good for maybe 12-18 mos. But again, you get a high grade for spelling it out.

Flash Player sound problems on a 5.1 system

I don't know if i found the right topic for asking for this question, but here it goes.
I noticed that flash player has this issue with my 5.1 system, when i play music (and i mean any music, like my online radio, played through flash, or music through the site VK.com), the sound is extremely awful. Words actually can't explain it, there is no bass, and the sound, overall, seems to be of very low quality. But it's not. When the same music is played via stereo system (any), it seems to be perfect - with bass and etc.
Now i'm really confused. It's either a problem of flash, or a problem of somewhat in my system. My guess is that flash simply does not support audio output rather than 2.0. I will be really grateful if anyone will at least point me in the direction of the source of this problem; it makes my life miserable. Thank you.

Is it possible to have e version of flash player like silverlight which give thepossibility to hear audio on whole 5.1 system?
I have the following system computer:
Case: Thermaltake Mozart; PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 750W; MainBoard: Asrock 4coredual-sata2; Heatsink: ZeroTherm Zen120; CPU: Core2 Extreme X6800 3,2Ghz; RAM: OCZ Platinum DDR400, 2x1 GB; GPU: Sapphire HD3850 AGP; PPU: BFG Ageia; HDD1: WD Caviar Blue WD5000AAKS; HDD2: WD WD2000BB; Monitor: Asus VB175T 17" 5:4; Audio System: danneggiato, in corso di sostituzione; OS: Xp Professional Sp3; Browser: Srware Iron.

Help: Flash 9 - Video problem - OS X

OS X 10.4.8
I installed Flash 9 today, since then no more Google video.
Browser crashes each time. Also with other sites that use Google
video. Tried uninstall, and install Flash 8: same problem. Cannot
get back to previous situation where everything worked fine.
Also problem with msnbc, no video, claims plugin missing.
Youtube works fine.

Hi,
folder deleted, after reinstall only the two flash files in
the folder. Same problem.
Worse, now Google Finance also hangs up. Spinning wheel of
death, requires force quit. BTW, this is the same for Firefox,
Safari, and Camino.
If there is no solution, how can I get back to my previous
system. The problem started when the Charlie Rose website required
me to update flash. Before the update everything worked like a
charm. Now problems everywhere.

Director MX 2004 + Flash MX 2004 - Problema con formulario flash con combos dentro de director

Buenas,
He desarrollado una aplicacion con base Director, que lleva
dentro un
formulario flash con varios combos tirando del componente
combobox del
mismo. Hasta ahora lo habia usado en otras aplicaciones con
una integracion
similar sin problemas, pero en este caso me ha surgido algo
realmente
extra�o, esto es, si pulso muchas veces en los combos
hay momentos en los
que estos se vuelven locos y se quedan como colgados (de
hecho la aplicacion
esta como colgada cuando pasa esto). Esto pasa mas a menudo
en windows 2000
por no decir la mayoria de las veces, y en XP pasa en
determinadas
circunstancias. He probado a quitar el direct to stage del
sprite flash,
ademas de quitarle la "animacion" que realiza al desplegarse,
y creo que en
xp el problema esta resuelto, pero en win 2000 me parece que
estamos en las
mismas.
El problema es que necesito combos para ese formulario, y no
me valen los
que trae Director por defecto, basicamente por el aspecto.
Tampoco puedo
permitirme el lujo de cambiar todo el formulario a Director
aunque usara un
xtra o un behavior, ya que esto lo entrego ma�ana y
tengo que matizar mas
cosas. Alguien ha hecho algo parecido, o ha tenido un
problema similar?
Muchas gracias y saludos a tod@s

Buen dia, el problema que tienes radica en la version de xtra
que
utiliza director para mostrar la info que hasta el momento
esta en la
version 7, lo que debes hacer es exportar los ficheros a una
version 7y funcionaran perfectamente.

Will Macbook Air(2012) with 256G storage flash have storage problem

Will Macbook Air (2012) with 256G storage flash have storage problem described in "MacBook Air Flash Storage Drive Replacement Program"?
In the web page http://www.apple.com/support/macbookair-flashdrive/, it says that Apple has determined that certain 64GB and 128GB flash storage drives used in the previous generation of MacBook Air systems may fail. I wonder whether Macbook Air with 256GB flash storage may come into the same problem?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
No. 256 GB flash storage does not have that problem. However, it's important that you make backups of your data to keep your files safe

9 problem with Chinese language

Thanks for the helpful posting. I came searching here for advice because I could not get my Flash Player 9 installation to succeed using the trouble-shooting information provided on the Adobe web site, and from experience I have come to know that my best resource in trouble-shooting is to seek the help of other Mac users.
In following your instructions I discovered that "Enable Flash" was not checked in my preferences, so that was definitely part of the problem. However, I still could not get Flash Player 9 to work, so after doing a Google search I found a posting on Version Tracker (under feedback at the bottom of this page: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11622 ) that provided the last little bit of instruction I needed to get Flash Player 9 to function properly.
Before attempting to install Flash Player 9 I had used Adobe's uninstaller to uninstall previous versions, as instructed on the Adobe website. However, AFTER repairing my disk permissions, I needed to restart the computer and run the uninstaller again. After uninstalling I restarted once more, ran the installer and, VOILA!, finally Flash Player 9 worked as it should.

Could you give the latest version of Chrome a try and let us know if this resolves the issue?

If you’re using the paired remote and the Apple TV status light flashes white, the problem isn’t with the remote.
Then what is the problem since I have troubleshoot my remote, it is working but cannot do anything on apple TV?

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)
