<param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> and Firefox

Content
1

I have the following flash object code in my html code. In the code is <param name=“wmode” value=“transparent” /> and I need it for my website. It is working fine in IE7, Opera 7.5, Apple Safari but not properly with Firefox. Mouse clickable Flash items aren’t working properly. Keystrokes for zoom-in/zoom-out is not a problem.
I don’t want to use <embed> … /embed> because I want to have my site xhtml validated

<object type=“application/x-shockwave-flash” data=“/map_53.swf?host= codebase=”" width=“747” height=“336”>
<param name=“movie” value="/site/map_53.swf?host=" />
<param name=“quality” value=“High” />
<param name=“wmode” value=“transparent” />
<param name=“base” value="map_53.swf?host=/" />
</object>

Is there anyone with a solution for this, I have already checked many sites including adobe and listapart

thanks for any help
Hans

Hi,

Have you read through this post in the Flash forum? Not sure if it will help as I never use flash but the sticky threads in that forum have a lot of advice.

Thanks for your help and advice but this is not the solution. The flash is only loading a bit faster with opaque. I can’t show you my website because I am not allowed to place any link in this forum but my site gets ugly without <param name=“wmode” value=“opaque” />

I am going to send an email to Mozilla, this is just an ugly bug in Firefox.

Did you try SwfObject ?

Hi Jim,
How is Paris?

SwfObject is new for me and I am going to give it a try. Don’t know when but I shall keep in touch.

Thanks for your reply

I’ve put that code in my site into 2 pages. I’m amazing because works normal on ALL browsers “plataformasuperior.com/mensagens/amor/amor_humor.htm” and in “plataformasuperior.com/” don’t work in firefox I’m amazing, I can’t get the mistake.

Finally it’s working in both pages. Don’t ask me how. Just is going well, but i don’t know why.
