Issue with setting WMODE = Transparent

[macmac12]

Hello again.

I had to change the publish settings for my rotator because my CSS menus on the page in popped the rotator into wouldn't appear in front of the flash object. I set the wmode from window to transparent, which solved the CSS issue but it has created another one within the rotator itself.

Now when I run it, the script to pause/unpause play when the mouse is over the object doesn't work. Well, to be clear...it pauses fine on the first mouse over...but mousing off doesn't unpause. So I gets stuck in a pause state.

It would seem something is wrong with the mmouse() function. I've tried to replace the logic with a hitTest similar to the logic used in the onMouseWheel() functions since that code still works fine the the wmode change. But I've not had any luck with it. Any ideas?

Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am having this same problem.......

i am having the same problem.... but i just went and changed the wmode back to window... and still having issue....... are your SURE that is what is causing it?

[macmac12]

Yeah....I'm sure. I can change it back to windowed and it works fine but then the CSS goes behind the object.

hey off topic.... but i uploaded the test folders contents directly to my site however it is not working with firefox.... Are you able to get yours to work with firefox...

[macmac12]

Yeah...it works the same for me in Firefox or Chrome as it does in IE. I just have it in a test site off my main where I'm working on a site upgrade:
http://www.blackbeltusa.net/testflash/

You'll see the News Rotator in the middle. Note, I changed it so it doesn't pause/unpause automatically on mouse over. I changed it to force the user to pause if they want to and thus force them to play again.

I tested the original code...without any modifications and the wmode set to windowed and still had problems with the play control when i wrapped it into a tight div. So I chucked it altogether.

Maybe when the rest of the site is done I can come back and look at the issue again, learn more and get it to work...but I'm tired of dealing with it at this point and it works well enough for now.

First of all your new site layout is nice. I always run into problems using a nested div structure with css for my layout. I am using the files from the

2-test file....

However my rotator does not work at all with firefox. How did you place your files to get it working.

Also how did you change like layout of your rotator.

I am new to flash so if you could help that would be great.

Hello. I embedded this into the .html code using the standard swf embedding code generated by flash, clear and simple. Unfortunately I don't know css but I will forward this to Octav, maybe he will be able to solve these problems. Please be patient.
