Flash :: Internet Explorer - Scrolling Issue When Wmode Is Set To Opaque
Mar 4, 2011
This would be for a Flash game within Facebook. If you have a Flash object in IE, when you use the up and down arrow keys it causes the entire browser to scroll. IF you have a game that requires the up and down arrows, this makes it very frustrating to play and just not acceptable. The wmode is set to opaque and needs to be that way. I understand keeping it at the default would 'fix' this problem, but then the game wouldn't work. Some people say "don't use IE". That would be nice, but that also is not an option.
The part that really stumps me, is that it was working just a few days ago. The solution that worked the first time was to set the container that the Flash object was embedded in with overflow set to auto. But the honeymoon only lasted so long. I'm not sure if Facebook made an API change that might break this. I reverted code that could have possibly the overflow trick not work. No luck, didn't work. We have also tried to put a text field to grab the focus of the Flash game in AS3, but that trick did not work either. We have tried to use JS in more than one way, but those were dead ends. I don't have an example page I can show at this point as the game has yet to be released to the general public.
I'm absolutely stuck at this point and haven't found a solution anywhere. Other people have had this problem but nobody seems to have an answer... if there even is one. The Flash object is losing focus as soon as you push the arrow keys, and no matter what I do I just can't seem to get it to grab focus.

I would want to catch click with javascript on a embed flash object on my page. I used wmode="opaque" (tried transparent too) and put a low z-index. I tried catching click on a div, on the object element and on the embed element. On FF (5), all three of them work. On IE (7 & 8), none of them work. Here's my code (I removed some attribute for flash like type or classid) :

I have a customized drag event that works great for most things:
[Code]...
The issue is that when I use this code with wmode=transparent or wmode=opaque the MOUSE_LEAVE event is not detected when the MOUSE_UP event occurs off the stage. Is there a way to detect the MOUSE_LEAVE event when wmode is transparent or opaque? OR Is there a way to detect that the wmode is set to transparent or opaque so that a work-around may be implemented?

When setting wmode to "opaque" (or transparent) my flash app becomes slow on Facebook. I can particularly notice it when moving the mouse around (even on a tiny area of the screen), if I don't move the mouse then the slowdown doesn't seem to happen. Maybe its because its sending all events to facebook too?

I have a html/flex app loaded in an iframe, and wmode is set to 'opaque'. I have 'mousemove' listener attached to the document of flex app and document of the parent. Once I mousedown in the flex part of iframe and move my mouse around, i can see the logs from the iframe. However, when I move the mouse around in the parent, i dont see logs from the parent. But, if I mousedown on the html part of the iframe, i can see logs from both iframe and parent. Same sort of bug is reported in Firefox 4/5, which breaks html part of it. Visit [URL]

How to dynamically add wmode="opaque" to already displaying embed elements? Without reloading the elements, the embedded content should not lose its state.
Just setting the wmode attribute with javascript doesn't work.
Removing the element and then adding it again makes wmode take effect, but the flash element loses its state, among other problems. E.g if it's a video player its position/playback status resets. So that solution is no good.
Any other way of displaying content over the embedded element is acceptable as well.
(I'm doing this trough a content script in a Chrome extension if that is of any help.)
This is not a duplicated of How to dynamically add wmode=transparent to Youtube embed code? as there the parameter is added to a frame and not directly to the element it self.

I have found that events Events.ACTIVATE and Events.DEACTIVATE do not fire in the browser when wmode = transparent or when wmode = opaque. This is found when the swf is published with or without fullscreen mode capability.However, the events do fire:In the standalone player, such as opening the publised swf locally ( not using a browser ) In the browser when wmode = window
My Goal:Is to detect Events.ACTIVATE and Events.DEACTIVATE with a swf that has been published with fullscreen capability, where the wmode = opaque. ( I have found that when in fullscreen and wmode = window, mouse interactivity events, such as clicks, do not fire. Mouse interactivity is something I need, which I get with wmode = transparent or opaque. )
FYI:I have found that when wmode = window, the DEACTIVATE event fires both when entering and leaving fullscreen mode. The event ACTIVATE does not fire when entering fullscreen mode or when returning to the browser from fullscreen ( user presses Escape, etc ). In the event the user switched to a different window, the DEACTIVATE event fires. When the user returns to the browser, the ACTIVATE fires in IE but does not fire in Firefox until the user clicks in the swf
Setup:
Flash CS4
Using the Flash published HTML ( wmode = transparent / opaque )
Firefox 3.6.6 ( Windows XP Pro )
IE 8.0.60 ( Windows XP Pro )

As stated in the title, I am now trying to create a chart using Google visualization: annotated time line. It's very easy to use and the documentation is fairly easy to understand as well. You can find the documentation here.I run into a problem about the wmode of the chart which is a flash object.The default value of the chart's wmode is "window" and it will always overlay all HTML objects in the same page. That is very annoying, because even the jquery block() method doesn't work on it.
When I change the chart's wmode into "opaque" or "transparent" the chart will not overlay HTML objects with higher z-index, but it doesn't recognize the mouse scroll event. It still catch the mouse click event though.I have tried it in the following browser:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.6.12 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 5.2; U; en) Presto/2.7.62 Version/11.00
Safari 4.0.5 (531.22.7)
IE 7.0.5730.13
Only the IE can catch the mouse scroll even, the others couldn't recognize it.

I've tested on Windows XP/Vista, and I'm using Flash CS3 to generate AS2 content for Flash Player 9.

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.
