Wmode - transparent

Hi All,
I have to mixed up html pop-ups and flex app in my html page. so i set wmode = 'transparent' for my object tag. As per adobe documents, tranparency will affect flash playback.
Other than this, will it lead to any other serious errors / performance issues in my flex apps?

wmode sets the Window Mode property of the SWF file for transparency, layering, positioning, and rendering in the browser.

Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash wmode transparent based

Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash with wmode transparent set. For that matter all flash text fields in Safari 5.1 are not working accross the web when wmode is set to transparent. This is a Safari bug! Other browsers work fine.
Well after much research Adobe flash text field with wmode transparent set is not working in Safari 5.1 when any flash object has the wmode set to "transparent", or "opaque". The problem is many site must layer flash objects with html so the wmode transparent must be used.
Affecting sites like BEST BUY, WALMART, CVS, STAPLES, Chechout their flash based weekly ads and find one that you need to update the quantity in the flash pop-up and the text field with keyboard strokes will not work. Flash text fields were all working fine until several month ago when Safari rolled out 5.1 working for Google Voice Flash based widget which uses the wmode transparent. HELP!

All 3 examples seem to render just fine in IE and FF.

If not working for you, try clearing your cache to remove any old, non working versions.
Test on some other machine besides yours.
Code looks fine and seems to work.

Flash with wmode="transparent" doesn't work with non-US keyboard (like FF)

Safari has the same issue as FireFox (which they are finally fixing) :
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347185
If you use Flash with wmode="transparent" then it treats all keyboards as if they are US keyboards.
For example try G.ho.st http://G.ho.st/vc.html with a non-US keyboard

I too am having issues. I am using Shockwave Flash 11.4.402.287 on Firefox 16.0.1. I am running on Windows 7 Enterprise. Disabling the plugin allows me to load pages quickly, but I am not able to view videos or play games. Firefox freezes upon loading a page that uses Flash. It remains frozen for an unacceptable length of time, then it will unfreeze on its own accord. The freeze affects the entire computer. I cannot interact with the desktop or the Windows start bar, and can only close Firefox by forcibly ending the "firefox.exe" process via Task Manager.
This is not the first version of Firefox that has displayed this problem to me. Firefox 15 also froze upon using Flash.
I had hoped that the latest Firefox update would solve this problem, but apparently not. Until then, I am forced to use Chrome, which is quite inconvenient for me as I am not at all familiar with that browser and am constantly clicking the settings button when I want to to go to my home page.
These freezes are incredibly frustrating and annoying. If Mozilla wishes to build a better Internet, they should try to make their browser a program that doesn't tempt me towards rage-quitting YouTube.

WMode Transparent not displaying in Windows/Firefox

Hello, I'm using Wordpress and a Wordpress flash plugin
called Showtime Slideshow as the site's gallery. It works
perfectly in the standard wmode=window setting in
Firefox/Windows, but I have a dropdown menu that
overlaps with the Flash. I was able to figure out the wmode
needs to be opaque or transparent, but when I use those
settings, nothing is displayed at all. It works fine in
Windows/IE, Mac/IE and Mac/Firefox, so there is something
in the code that Windows/Firefox doesn't like in this code
(another Flash object from YouTube with wmode=transparent
displays correctly).
Here is the code that the plugin generates:

<script type='text/javascript'>
var flashvars = {
xml                : 'http://www.youtag.lu/youtagdesign/wp-content/plugins/showtime-slideshow/showtime/getxml.php?attr=id^433*source^medium*sourcehd^large*',
width                : '674',
height                : '448',
classid           : 'st_0',
rotationtime     : '5',
transition          : 'SlideRight',
transitiontime     : '1.5',
transitionease     : 'BackEaseOut',
autoplay          : '',
showcontrols     : 'on',
fullscreen          : 'on',

showalt               : 'on',
shuffle               : '',
scale               : 'noScale'
var params = {};
params.allowFullScreen = 'true';
params.bgcolor = '#EDEAE6';
params.quality = 'autohigh';
params.wmode = 'transparent';
//params.base = 'dirname(__FILE__)';
//params.allowScriptAccess = 'local';
var attributes = {};
attributes.styleclass = 'showtime';
swfobject.embedSWF ('http://www.youtag.lu/youtagdesign/wp-content/plugins/showtime-slideshow/showtime/st15.swf', 'st_0', '674', '448', '10.0.0', 'http://www.youtag.lu/youtagdesign/wp-content/plugins/showtime-slideshow/showtime/swfobject/expressInstall.swf', flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>
[taken from the Showtime Slideshow demo page]
Based on that code, can anyone see anything that
would cause the whole slideshow to not display at all?

Bump. Could anyone take a look at the code?

Keyboard problem with wmode transparent and firefox

Hello,
I came accross a very nasty bug in this configuration:
FireFox+Windows+[Flex area using the wmode=transparent]
If the flex area has a text input, then the keyboard mapping
is stuck with a wrong keyboard mapping and some characters can
simply not be entered. For instance, on a French keyboard, it is
not possible to enter a @ character.
This bug seems very old, here is a reduced situation dated
from 2005 (!):
<
http://www.5etdemi.com/blog/archives/2005/06/firefox-wmodetransparent-is-completely-screwy -and-breaks-textfields/>
Many other people talked about the problem since, for
instance here:
<
http://blog.headlondon.com/archives/no-wmode-please-were-british/>
My questions are:
* does anyone know of a work-around for this (and yes we _do_
need the transparent feature :-)
* why has this nasty bug not being fixed since 2005 ? I
posted a bug report today but it must have been done before.
I do not know if this is a bug with Firefox or the Flash
player but in all cases many Flex apps can be affected by this bug
if they use the transparent feature.
thanks in advance for the feedback,
Matthieu.

Wmode transparent and blend mode problem

Dear all,
I'm stuck with this problem so far, got headache after searching many days on google without solution. Our designer using blend mode: screen (in flash) for some movies and the flash's transparent to save the file size display and then ưe are using html background. All'r working fine for wmode transparent but in Internet Explorer, it's not working to display the blend mode and appear the black background. You can check the image below to see what happen:
Loading the movies within blend mode screen
Transparent's working fine with the normal transparent
Test blend mode with opaque wmode to see how it will display
I've tested with IE7, 8, 9. I'm using window 7 Ultimate, 64bit, Flash player latest version. (And my clients, friends, also got that issues when seeing it with IE).
My embed code:
<object width="1000" height="600" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" >
<param value="high" name="quality"></param>
<param value="intro.swf" name="movie"></param>
<param value="opaque" name="wmode"></param>
<embed width="1000" height="600" wmode="opaque" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" quality="high" src="intro.swf">
</object>
We can solve it manually that put the image background into the flash but it's not the good way to do it in our modern web industry.
Any solution?

dont why i can't submit in the bugbase, it's just hanged out though i submit all the required information T.T
Update: the bug only with IE9. (i concerned IE 7, 8 because i've tested it by IE9 development tool, not real IE 7, 8). Today i've tried testing with real IE7, 8 and it's working fine.

BlendMode.LAYER & wmode=transparent & ff bug

Hello, I'm having problems with the latest flash player 10.
Everything worked before upgrading, but since then I'm not able to
get BlendMode.LAYER and wmode=transparent working in firefox (2 nor
3).
I have described my problem and I have sample files here:
http://arkkimaagi.googlepages.com/home
Basicly if I use blendMode=BlendMode.LAYER; in flash that has
transparent background in firefox, I get these ugly borders around
all objects that have the blendMode set to Layer.
Any suggestions what I could do to get around this problem?
Edit:
I've also added this to adobe bugs. Please vote for it to get
attention to this issue.
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-970

I've replicated this in Win, FF3, FP10, with wMode as
transparent.
If blendMode = BlendMode.NORMAL, I do not see this error.
Setting blendMode to any other available property reproduces this
error.

Desktop AIR 2.5 application with transparency and embedded Flash with wmode transparency error

I'm working on a desktop AIR project using the 2.5 SDK (ADT) to create an application that combines html and flash content. My application is using systemChrome none and transparent true. I have an swf element in my html file that I have set to wmode transparent. Instead of the swf rendering with a transparent background and showing the desktop like the html content does, I'm seeing a black box that fills the area where the Flash element is embedded.
Can someone please assist me in removing this black square so that my flash content is rendered within the html file with a transparent background instead of a black background?
When the AIR application is set to transparent, the Flash content must have it's wmode set to either transparent or opaque. Opaque gives it a white background (the stage background color), but transparent seems to just give it a black background.
Thanks!

Ok fellas,
It appears that I have indeed answered my own question. So thanks... uh, me As I've now figured out, the entire AIR application is basically still a Flash based Display Object, one that can render html using webkit. That means that even though my main application is written in HTML I can still load swf files into the display list of the root applications native window using the Loader class.
I had mentioned earlier that this didn't work, but actually it did work I was just having an error. In my flash file I had a reference error because I was referencing stage.stageWidth in actionscript. This produces a typeError in the AIR runtime when I add this to the root display list. I was able to finally see this error by add the -nodebug command to my adl testing script (adl app.xml -nodebug). For whatever reason my AIR 2.5 adl would not produce air.trace calls to the cmd console without that -nodebug command, which is extremely ironic. So adding in the -nodebug command actually gave me my debug traces! Welcome to the world we live in folks... I also found out that my traces in the swf also trace out to the console when you add this command in there.
In addition, the reason I was not able to get the Loader class to work from javascript was because I was not using the correct addEventListener call. If you are familiar with Actionscript 3.0 (which luckily I am) you will recall that you have to add the event listener to the "contentLoaderInfo" object of the Loader variable you instanciate.
Here's a snippet of how I was able to do this as well as another link that is buried in the documentation that's useful:
var loader;
loader = new air.Loader();
var file = air.File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("test.swf");
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(air.Event.COMPLETE, swfLoaded);
loader.load( new air.URLRequest(file.url) );
function swfLoaded(evt) {
     air.trace(" SWF LOADED! Woohoo! ");
     air.trace( loader.numChildren );
     loader.width = 1000;
     loader.height = 800;
     loader.x = 0;
     loader.y = 0;
     window.nativeWindow.stage.addChild(loader);
This is a very useful article on creating nativeWindows and other things, such as creating Flash based display objects and adding them to the stage:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/html/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7e0a.html
Woohoo!

Update your Flash Player
"Full-screen mode was not originally supported if the wmode
is opaque or
transparent windowless, but it is now supported starting with
the latest
Flash Player 9 Update on Adobe Labs. If the user has multiple
monitors,
Flash Player uses a metric to determine the monitor that
contains the
greatest portion of the Flash movie and then goes full-screen
in that main
monitor."

How to use wmode="transparent" on Quicktime

Hi!
I use tag <embed> with wmode="transparent" inside the <embed> tag to make the vdo file (.mp4 , .mov) to be transparent display behind other div on Firefox, but it doesn't work and quick time play and vdo disappear.
I have check Apple QuickTime Tutorials Embed Tag Attributes but nothing seem similar to wmode="transparent"
Please guide me to the right direction.

Can't be done.
The embed tag code has been updated to a more modern javascript method:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html

Firefox suddenly misinterpreting wmode transparent. Instead, displaying my content against a white background, instead of transparent. HELP.

Please help fix my flash issue!!!!! The menu has always worked perfectly for several years. It suddenly stopped working yesterday.

Paste this code in the Scratchpad and issue Execute Run to see the change.<br />
I don't know which script is responsible, but I see the problem in Firefox 3.6.26 as well.
<pre><nowiki>E=document.getElementsByTagName("embed")[1];
alert(E.getAttribute("src")+"\n"+E.getAttribute("wmode"));
document.getElementsByTagName("embed")[1].setAttribute("style","display:none");
document.getElementsByTagName("embed")[1].setAttribute("wmode","transparent");
alert(E.getAttribute("src")+"\n"+E.getAttribute("wmode"));
document.getElementsByTagName("embed")[1].setAttribute("style","display:inline");</nowiki></pre>

Wmode transparent not working

I'm testing two methods to avoid the flash animation from
being on top of the menus, this:
<object

width="466" height="357">
<param name="movie" value="flash/L3anim.swf">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="flash/L3anim.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="466"
height="357"></embed>
</object>
and this:
<div id="mainflash" style="border:1px solid #636569;
padding:3px; width:466px; height:357px; position:relative;
top:27px">
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var fo = new FlashObject("flash/L3anim.swf", "mainflash",
"466", "357", "7", "#FFFFFF");
fo.addParam("wmode", "opaque");
fo.write("mainflash");
</script>
</div>
But none of them seem to work on firefox 2 when using a mac,
can anyone give me a definitive solution for this?

For the first method you need to add the attribute
*wmode="transparent"*
to the embed tag.
For the second method (for which you must be using v1.5 of
SWFObject)
you need to change your fo.addParam("wmode", "opaque"); from
*opaque* to
*transparent*.

IE6 and wmode=transparent

Hi
Im having major problems with wmode=transparent in IE6 and
IE7 and wondered if anybody could help at all?
The transparency works fine but the problem lies that my
animation does not run when I mouse out of my movie when
transparency is set. If I change to window or opaque everything
works fine.
Here is a test link.
