Javascript :: Dynamically Add Wmode=opaque To Already Displaying Embed Elements?
Mar 17, 2012
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'd like to change all occurrences of wmode to opaque. Is this easily done via jquery? In the object definition, wmode is set to opaque but in the params it becomes transparent.

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]

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?

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) :

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?

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 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 )

I m using textarea in flash 10 cs5 as3. The problem is when i try to select a text and go out of stage and leave the mouse then again move mouse on text then selection of text will move with the mouse.
Here is what causes that:
* click somewhere on the text and drag the mouse in order to select the text
* then go out of the swf
* leave the mouse
* now move mouse on textarea
the selection of text will move with the mouse. How to stop this behavior? I tried to implement mouseleave on stage but the problem is i m not able to detect mouseleave event when mouse is pressed and it leaves the stage.
This is because of wmode="opaque" parameter. I found out that it doesn't do this when wmode="window". Is there a solution for this?

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.

Ok so first I was having 2 issues with default wmode of "window". My web page navigation menus would go under my flex/flash app. The other issue was when scrolling in the flash app the whole page would scroll.
I changed wmode to "opaque" and this fixed the issue with the navigation menus and so now they show up above the flash app. Thats great but now I dont have scrolling at all in the flash app. I realize this is a big issue out there but I can't seem to find any solutions for solving both(actually 2.5 issues) of these problems.
I would like to A) Have navigation links show up above the flash app so they aren't hidden; B) Allow scrolling within the flash application; and C) Prevent scrolling of the web page if the mouse is over the flash app.

My flash piece loads an external image depending on the XML that gets pulled in. The problem is that it sits in with a busted *** calendar that won't let me z-index until the wmode = invisible. When I change it from "window" (aka default) to "invisible" my external images do not load in but the stage assets remain. So external images appear in window mode. Do not appear in invisible / opaque mode.

I'm using a modal window on a client's site where we have no access to the content. The problem is that he has some flash on the page and the wmode for these is not set to transparent.
Is there a possibility to force their flash from our javascript to have this parameter added?

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.

In May 2008 (about three years ago, as of the time of this posting), an engineer who worked on Flash Player 10 wrote the following in a blog post talking about GPU compositing:Just because the Flash Player is using [GPU compositing] does not mean it will be faster. In the majority of cases your content will become slower... Content has to be specifically designed to work well with GPU functionality. The software rasterizer in the Flash Player can optimize a lot of cases the GPU cannot optimize, you as the designer will have to be aware of what a GPU does and adapt your content accordingly. I realize this statement is useless unless we can provide guidance, something we can hopefully achieve in the not to distant future.
Is anyone aware of any such guidance having been provided by Adobe in the succeeding three years? The only relevant information I could find was in this article, which provides optimization tips for hardware rendering, but not for hardware-accelerated compositing, which is what the "gpu" wmode embed param turns on.Short of testing each piece of content individually, how can I determine when my content would benefit from the use of GPU compositing and when the use of GPU compositing would be a detriment

I'm using a custom right click context menu for a flash app (overriding the default adobe menu). For this Uza's right click solution [URL] works well.
However, flash player plugin (for Firefox/Chrome etc) has a bug which breaks usage of international characters when its using WMode for the html embed. WMode="widnow" works.

I have several swf's and I can embed them within html without problem. However, one swf is causing me problems. This swf has an animation on the stage as a preloader. The rest of the swf is then completely run through an external as3 class. The as3 class loads an xml file and prepares the images. When its complete, it removes the loader removeChild(preloader); (the original animation which was displaying). If I run the swf on my computer, everything works great. As soon as I embed it, all that happens is the preloader animation constantly plays, and it never gets to the point to display the images. Is there something I need to do when I embed this swf into html to get it to work properly?

I am busy building a site that uses Flash, jQuery and standard JavaScript.It seems that the communication between these platforms often takes some time to complete. I can see that some users will think that nothing is happening and click the Flash buttons over and over. This will cause even more of a wait since more Flash to JavaScript communication is triggered.My solution: What I would like to do is make my Flash content un-clickable until my JavaScript and jQuery are done running. I don't want to do this by sending JS commands to the Flash since I do not want to increase the communication between the two. What I have done is use JS to set the CSS "curser" property to the "wait" when you move it anywhere on the page, and to "not-allowed" when you move your mouse over the Flash content, at least until one jQuery animation is done running.
The problem with my solution: It seems that when I move my mouse over the Flash element focus shifts off of the html and on to the embedded Flash object. This means that the "not -allowed" curser pops up for just a second and then disappears. What I ned to figure out: I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how to prevent the embedded swf object from accepting focus? In other words I would like the Flash buttons to be deactivated when you click one of them or one of several html elements that trigger jQuery animations. I don't want to use a JS command to call a Flash function that does this, since I don't want to add to the communication time, which is in reality my original concern.

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?

I have a problem positioning a Flash element inside a div tag. The problem is, that the flash element is changing it's size based on the user input. I need a way how I can dynamically get the actual size of the flash element, and to change the behavior of the div element the flash is integrated in. actually I want to place it in the middle of the div. right now I gave the flash element width and height of 100% but that way I can not center the element inside the div...
