Safari, DIVs over Flash and any dynamic CSS.

Having done my research it appears there is a bug that has been around for a while that remains unfixed. I was hoping the recent update 2.0.1 may have resolved this issue.
This is unique to Safari. While 'Window Mode' and using 'z-index' enables you to overlay a div layer in other browsers, it doesn't fully work in Safari. For sure, the functionality was added, but any dynamic interaction, for example CSS roll-over, makes the background Flash jump to the foreground. Lots of flashing and flickering. Other than that we love Safari, just a shame it has taken so long to fix this since version 1. Any idea when this will be fixed?

I have also had difficulty with flash and CSS layers in Safari. The on(release) action of some buttons in a flash movie I was working on would not function; however, the animated "over" states would function. The site's php/css programmer removed a css layer that was BEHIND the flash file and the functionality of the flash file was restored.
A fix for this type of behavior ( or a work around ) would be helpful.
Safari is a great browser -- an excellent gauge for global accessibility.

  • Firefox for windows won't display absolute positioned divs over flash video

    I have a website that has a brightcove video player. About a month or so ago, I was able to float divs over the video player so that they would display on top of the video player, using absolute positioning.
    You can see the player here:
    lifeminute.tv/evv/8+9+10+11+12+34/widget300s
    In Firefox (mac), Chrome (windows), Internet explorer (windows) and Safari (mac) it all still displays properly. In Firefox (windows) the video player ignores the Z-index I assign it, and always places the divs underneath it, UNLESS I give the floating div a solid background color.
    When I assign the following styles to the div containing the overlay, I can see the text properly, but of course the video is obscured.
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    height: 158px;
    position: absolute;
    top: 4px;
    width: 275px;
    If I remove the background-color element the whole overlay pops to the back of the stack behind the video again.
    Is this a FF windows bug or am I just missing something obvious?

    At times you have to add wmode="transparent" attribute to the flash video embed code.

  • 10.4.7: broken safari menus over flash applets

    It seems after the 10.4.7 safari update: 2.0.4 (419.3), javascript menu dropdowns that hover over flash do not work properly. This can be viewed at http://www.bestbuy.com. Try to use the menu(s) above the main flash applet and you'll see what I mean. I also use the Nightly WebKit and this issue is not present (build 15091).
    Power Mac G5 Dual 2Ghz/iBook G4 1.42Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   2.5 Gig, Rad 9800 Pro 256M

    Hello,
    Thanks very much for the look,
    You're quite welcome. Always glad to help out.
    I upgraded my G5 and
    the iBook so I had no way of checking the site after
    the fact. The latest webkit seems to have this fixed
    so maybe in a futre release when the webkit merges
    with safari, it will be fixed.
    Which webkit is that? Are you talking about some of the developer software through Apple's Developer Connection?
    Or, are you talking about some 3rd-party updates, or nightly builds of the Flash program?
    I wasn't aware that Safari had a nightly build update like some of the other Open Source projects.
    Perhaps I am just misunderstanding your statement.

  • Does iOS 7's Safari Convert Youtube Flash and HTML5 Videos to Quicktime? How Is it Playing?

    Hi. It's good to see Safari (I have iOS 7) playing videos on sites like Youtube. Is it converting Flash and HTML5 to Quicktime or is the video playing because it's only using HTML5? How does Safari go about playing Youtube and Flash videos? Apple has solved the Flash for mobile problem then?
    Thank you. Have a great upcoming sunday mass/ great week.
    God bless.

    there is no flash for mobile problem since adobe has discontinued flash for any mobile device.
    Safari is not converting anything.
    HTML5 facilitates streaming video in a format that ios devices can natively play(mp4).
    Youtube/google is putting stuff up in html5.

  • Safari 4, which flash and java related files to restore with time machine?

    As is evident in the thread I already posted to on the BBC Iplayer and on others below the 'official' software update of Safari 4 has caused javascript/flash issues systemically (ie that affect Firefox too.)
    Can anyone list the relevant files that I should look to restore one by one in time machine in order to get back flash/javascript functionality?
    I am sure other people would find this helpful and have therefore started a new topic.

    I shut Safari 4's Java and plug-ins off (not JavaScript) and the problem with some sites (mostly ad content and other trouble-causers, one is certainly BrightCove) has disappeared.

  • Safari acts like Flash and Java are not installed, even though they are

    Even though I have the latest versions installed, websites viewed in Safari tell me that I need Flash and/or Java. I have searched the forums and tried every suggestion, with no fix:
    • Uninstall and re-install Flash
    • Re-install Java
    • Delete the Flash player cache (~ > Library > Caches > Adobe > Flash Player)
    • Repair permissions on the hard drive
    Flash and Java were both working fine until the 10.6.5 upgrade. Flash and Java both work in Firefox and Chrome on the same machine. (Everything is the latest version.)
    If anyone has a solution that will actually restore the use of Flash (don't really care about Java), that would be awesome! Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi,
    Install the 10.6.5 Combo Update.
    Then launch Disk Utility. Applications / Utilities then repair disk permissions.

  • Wallpaper flashes and windows expand whenever iTunes changes track.

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if anyone else is facing this and has a solution: basically my wallpaper image flashes and any windows I have minimized to the Dock expand whenever iTunes changes tracks. It's not a huge problem, but it can be a bit of a pain (there, it just happened again, I had to minize stuff in order to get back to this window). Any thoughts? Any help would be hugely appreciated.
    Thanks!
    P.S.: I listed the topic under Lion because it never happened before I upgraded to it.

    Give this a try guys. Found it while searching:
    Close iTunes, open Terminal and write these two lines
    defaults delete com.apple.dock itunes-notifications
    defaults delete com.apple.dock notification-always-show-image;killall Dock
    Seems to have fixed it for me!

  • Problem with Safari 5.0 update and Flash

    It seems there are several Flash related issues with updating to Safari 5.0, and I am also struggling.
    Since updating Safari, the Flash plugin is not being found by any programs (I've tried Safari, Firefox and Zattoo).
    I have tried (in various orders) repairing disk permissions, restarting, reinstalling safari 5.0, removing and reinstalling the Flash plugin (10.1), resetting Safari, installing an older version of Flash (9.0). No luck as yet.
    Please help!

    Home is a sorta shorthand for the base or root folder within a User Account - in Finder, you click on the lil house-type icon in left & that's your account Home.
    It can also be found via HD/Users/Account User name/
    the symbol ~ is used to represent it - so ~/Library/ is your account Library, whilst /Library/ is the HD/Library
    Excuse the lesson
    Now - if you're saying that the contents of
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins/
    and
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins/
    are the same ( use Finder - Go to Folder and paste the above if you're not certain you checked the right place )
    then you should trash all of those within your account at ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins/

  • My ipad 2 flashes and boots over and over.....

    I will be using any app and the screen flashes and then goes blank, then you see the apple logo, then it repeats over and over again. It eventually boots back to the main screen. I don't have a lot of photos, running iOS 4.3 and all apps have been updated. 
    Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
    I took video of it with my iPhone 4 in case I have to go to Apple.

    Try a system reset.  It takes only a few minutes and it's harmless (no data, apps or settings will be lost).  Hold down the on/off switch and the home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.

  • Safari 6.0.2 and adobe flash player update problem

    I am having problems installing the current version of adobe flash player.  Whenever I try and view a video from a site that requires it (eg. youtube, etc.), it says I need to update adobe flash player and sends me to a link to do so.  I've installed flash player "successfully" several times, deinstalled it and reinstalled it, re-downloaded it, but I'm always getting the message to update flash player.  Can anyone help with some suggestions to get this working corectly?
    I am running osx 10.8.2 and safari 6.0.2.
    Thanks very much.  Ron

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
    1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    3. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    4. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
