Html :: Flash Embed With Html Overlay, Wmode="direct"
Jan 31, 2012
I'm trying to place html elements over a flash video which must be rendered with wmode="direct" (video occupies entire window with html UI to be laid over it, anything other than direct makes CPU usage surge).
I've tried using an iframe to include the flash video, but I'm still unable to place any elements over it. Is there a workaround to achieve this?
To get flash to sit behind html elements on a page I read that I have to add this inside the object tag:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
And this to the embed tag:
wmode="transparent"
Is it necessary to add both? Because in FF I got it to work with just the second, just wondering if that may cause issues in other browsers and devices.
What I have is a simple flash movie displaying text. I want it to play covering the whole screen, then once it's finished disappear and then thats where the home page is.
I'm having trouble displaying a overlay div saying "Please wait..." on top of a flash movie, even with absolute positioning and z-index highier than the flash movie itself. But the overlay div is still behing the flash movie. Why is that? I think it's something to do with embed/param tags but I'm not sure? Here's the code:
usually it can be solved with the "wmode transparent" param, but in firefox i have a strange problem. when i overlay a flash element with a part of a div the div renders strange (like stairs at the border of the flash element)
[URL]
the grey area (and a small transparent area above) is the flash element. the outline is the div with a border.
the error occurs only on FF (i have 3.6) chrome/safari works fine...
CODE:
its an swfobject implementation. the overlaying div/ul is positioned after the flash-wrapper. <div id="flash-wrapper"> <object width="740" height="500" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

We have a flash object and when we use blockUI or some other overlay div with opacity < 1, it doesn't make the flash area transparent. However, it do hides the flash object when opacity is 1, but I want to have the overly div transparent which make the flash area transparent too like it doing for other HTML objects.
Here is the code expert:

For overlay div we are using jQuery.blockUI and FancyBox (when we need to some popup and block the UI). We also tried to overlay the flash object using a div with z-index. It overlays and hides the flash when opacity is 1 but not when it's < 1.
I have a Youtube video on my homepage, and now I need a modal to display on certain events.For some reason, even when adding <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> to the Flash object, it still covers the HTML elements (with higher z-index too).I've got it on JSfiddle.I figured maybe an iframe could solve this, but that would require me to make a new page just to put the video on.
I'm working on a page that has some ads on it. One of them loads in an ad with wmode=window.I don't have the ability to change that flash code. I need to put a modal box on top of that flash element, but every combination of using z-indexes and iframe shims has failed (both manually and using bgiframe). Is there a way to place html content on top of a flash element with wmode=window? I'm testing this in chrome so far.
is it possible to let clicks on a HTML element that's overlaying a Flash or Silverlight object bubble through to the Flash / Silverlight object? I've been experimenting with this, but i can't figure out if it is even possible because of possible security restrictions to prevent clickjacking.I don't have access to the source code to the FL / SL object, so i can't implement an ExternalInterface or something like that.
Following embed code is from [URL] but it doesn't work in Internet Explorer 8. Firefox no problems. Any recommendations for improvements?

UPDATE 2010-05-14: If I'm not mistaken HD.se uses Flowplayer and all those flasvars are for that. Perhaps someone here is good with Flowplayer? I've never used it myself.
I'm building a Flash video player that uses the new StageVideo API. StageVideo requires window mode (wmode) to be set to "direct". Unfortunately, setting wmode to direct prevents the express install dialog from popping up if a user has a version of Flash Player older than 10.2.How can I set my wmode to direct to get StageVideo to work but also ensure the Express Installer pops up for users with older Flash Players?
I searched and searched.Anyway, I have a swf sitting in a layer above html text. It's set to wmode transparent, and looks fine. it stays small until rolled over, then the buttons slid out as expected. However, when the swf buttons are still hiding, the html text in the area that the swf buttons will eventually occupy is not selectable when directly clicked.
I am using lightbox++ to load images outside of flash in order to make that work I have to set wmode=transparent in the object properties But doing this lightens the gray color used in the swf.. Without adding wmode=transparent Screenshot with wmode=transparent
How to display camera output while wmode is set to "direct"? To be more specific, I want to display camera locally without receiving stream from third party publisher.
EDIT: According to Adobe employee words there is bug, which not allow flash player to open security settings dialog, therefore camera is muted by default.
I have a Flash-based SWFUpload upload button in a HTML page. I am trying to style that button. SWFUpload provides a Javascript setup interface to the Flash button's settings. I don't have Flash myself, so I have to work with the pre-compiled SWF file.
the situation is :there is a mov file.In the file there is a car,and when you dragged the mouse,the car can move with the mouse.But after importing the flash,the mov can play.but the mouse can't work.So I embed the mov into the html,and then want to embed the html to the flash.Can this work?

I'm trying to embed my flash player on my Soundclick soundclick page, but it just doesnt appear.

What would be the best way to embed a Flash movie into HTML? I have read that HTML5 lets you use <embed>, but obviously not all browsers will recognize this yet.
I am trying to embed a flash movie (.flv) into a webpage with a transparent background.
Requirements:
- Flv runs in transparent mode - I must be able to view html contents below.
- Movie does not auto play
- Movie is contained in a div and positionend absolutely using CSS
- No video controls or overlays, you shouldn't know it's an flv
- On load Movie is hidden
- Using jQuery, I click an image link to show and play the video, clicking it again stops and hides the video - vice versa
I have tried using Longtail Video Player with swfobject.js and javascript controls but no joy. Video is not transparent and controls with a click to play still feature.
Am I overcomplicating what appears to be quite a simple task.
I happy to explore any implementation.
Adobe flash embed parameters have been set correctly and wmode = transparent.
