ActionScript 3.0 :: Internet Explorer / FireFox Flash Player Difference?
Mar 21, 2010
There frequently tend to be posts "My SWF works in FireFox but not Internet Explorer! I'm wondering, is there REALLY ever any truth to these and not just silly mistakes?
Is there any real difference between the Flash Player in Internet Explorer and FireFox?
Aren't they the same, and all the browser is doing is relaying those commands to the library/executable already on the computer? The reason I'm guessing this is because when you install Flash Player, it works for all installed browsers, and you don't have to install it to specific browsers, right? Or?

With an image in the top left corner, this page displays the same in IE6/7 and FF:

but when Flash of identical dimensions replaces the image, it works in IE6/7 but I get a gap around Flash in FF:

I've tested on Windows XP/Vista, and I'm using Flash CS3 to generate AS2 content for Flash Player 9.
I've searched over an hour across the web for a solution, and done all sorts of fiddling with CSS properties and removing whitespace but no joy.

I'm wondering if there's an easy way to disable flash in Internet Explorer for testing purposes:I'm writing a script that tests for flash (based off the information at this link - https:[url]....) and I'm hoping there is an easier way to test this than uninstalling flash.

I am building a video player web-app that uses flash for playback and jquery/javascript for UI. By design of the person who wrote the flash component I need to use setVariable to communicate between the javascript and the flash player. I've read all over the internet that a lot of people have had problems gettin setVariable to work in FireFox. I designed my app in firefox because i wanted to use firebug to help me in development. Now that the whole thing has been built, i find that setVariable is not working in IE. The error i get is:Object doesn't support property or method 'SetVariable';Here's a bit of the pertinent code:I construct my html through javascript, so this is how I construct the player:
var player =

just started out using flex (man it rocks compared to cs4! wish i had switched earlier).I have two questions that i can't seem to find the answers to
1) how do i configure flex to publish to firefox rather than internet explorer?
2) is it possible to publish to the standalone flash player without bothering with a browser ...as you can do in the Flash IDE ?

I created the page in FLEX, but i have problem with scroller (the page content) and the bottom status bar from IE/firefox. They are easily overlapping each other (with statusbar in the front - hiding the content of the page) - is there any way to read the height of these elements regardles of the browser (to change 'paddingbottom' accordingly ) ? (I know that disabling them is prohibited from security reasons).

Steps to reproduce my problem:Create simple dot DisplayObject in flash
dot.graphics.beginFill( color);
dot.graphics.drawCircle( 0, 0, 2 );
dot.graphics.endFill();
Draw dot to bitmap many times a frame
bitmapData.draw( dot, null, null, "normal", null, _smoothing );
Test FrameRate in combination of browsers,flash plugin versions on Win32
Expect:
Framerate to be close in most cases
Observed:
I am seeing a 25% decrease in framerate under IE7 using Flash10b.ocx(10.0.22) and 50% decrease in framerate using Flash10c.ocx(10.0.32). PLugins under FireFox, Safari and in Mac OSX don't exhibit the same slowdown.
I would like to get help/confirmation on a performance problem that I see in Internet Explorer. The Adobe and Flash community is great on the Internet but I have been surprised to see no information on this, just a few reports about movie playback on 10.0.32 vs. 10.0.22.
My guess is that in IE flash plugin is passing draw calls to Win32 and that this is slow.
Instead of drawing each time on the bitmap using draw, cache the draw calls to a bitmap and use CopyPixels. When I do this the performance is the same across browsers, within 10%.
bitmapData.copyPixels(dot.bitmapData,dot.bi tmapData.rect,new Point(dot.x,dot.y),null,null,true);
Loop I am using:
function enterFrame(e:Event) {
bitmap.lock();
for (var i:int=0;i<particles.length;i++) {

I have a website with a Flash banner. This has worked fine in all major browsers (IE7/8,Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera) for some time, but when I upgraded to IE9, the banner is displayed with a 1 pixel shim on the right-hand edge, which is throwing the layout off.know past versions of IE would display line breaks as white space and I wonder if that's what's going on here. I'm using the AC_FL_RunContent() function to display the Flash file.I'm not sure where to look to debug this, but I'd like to fix it sooner rather than later

I've been spending hours now reading up on IE7's issue with rendering Flash content on top of other elements, particularly navigation menus (this is often a problem with dropdown menus and Flash ad banners, for example).
Update
At Mercator's request, I am providing a large code-sample to assist in any advice you might have. Consider the HTML below:
[code]...
The footpanel uses jQuery-powered flyout menus, if that provides any further context. These menus have z-indexes in the 300X range to appear above the footpanel.The Flash in question is JW player playing a flash video or mp4. Currently, the object and embed tags are inside a container div.My understanding of previous solutions was that the combination of the param changes and the positioning/z-index change on the container div should have resolved the issue. Alas, it is not so. The player resides on top of the footpanel.Other information that may or may not be helpful is that the page is XHTML 1.0 Transitional and that Dreamweaver reports 1 error in the HTML code: <embed> is not in the XHTML 1.0 specification. This fact does not prevent the video from being viewed in any browser tested, and the page still displays correctly in FF.

I have a weird issue that only seems to show itself on IE 8 so far. I have a semi transparent png tiling accross some divs on my site. All works ok. However as soon as i put any flash content on any div on the page, doesn't matter where, IE stops tiling the png and stretches it instead. It only occurs with flash and on ie8.

It does display on IE 8 however it does not maintain the width and height dimensions I have set. I have also made sure that my flash is 960 x 360. How can I get it to show my desired size in a way which will still be compatible with other browsers?

I am working on MP3 player app that uses navigator.plugins array in javascript to detect the client Shockwave Flash plugin version. This works in DOM based browsers such as Firefox and Safari, and also in Internet Explorer 5.0 on Mac OSX. I have been looking at the detection code that Flash generates when the file is published, but I can't see what would be different for detecting plugin verion in Internet Explorer v7.
I have a client/friend who has a new laptop and I wanted to show her the app but it would not load correctly due to plugin detection failure. I asked my sister who also has and uses Windows to test it and for her it would also not work in Internet Explorer v7; plugin version detection fails. What is different for detecting plugin version in Internet Explorer v7 (Windows, or any other platform it might be run on)?
Code I use to detect plugin versions:
clientObj.getSwfPluginVers = function(){
var UA = clientObj.nav_ua;
var outStr = '';
if(clientObj.namePat.test(UA)) // for Opera v8x (?){
for(var i = 0; i < navigator.plugins.length;
[Code] .....
Then more code to reduce to single digit version.
