Flash overlaps div menus in firefox

Afaik, it is not limited to Flash content.
Any plugin in Mozilla based browser have this problem

If I remember well, a solution is in the works (X-Embed support?) but don't hold your breath

Adobe Flash dev speaking about the problem beeing worked on upstream :
http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2007/04/bling.html

[Bug 127643] reffered to when a webpage was visited containing those annoying "rollover" flash advertisements, the space that would be taken by the rollover is blanked out in white, covering up the webpage content (text / images) even though the advert was not hovered over.

The issue appears to be resolved in Gutsy Gibbon / Firefox 2.0.0.8. I will update the thread should it occur again, but from visiting the websites that initally displayed the behaviour, rollover adverts do not block the main page content until they are hovered over, and no longer hovering over they return to their regular banner ad size.

Thank you all for your help.

Macmaz, that's a different error I believe. I can see those boxes properly without a whitespace, but I still have the problem with the menus.

If anyone is still following this thread... I found a fix that lies not in the browser, but the version and coding:

I stumbled across this fix by doing maintenance on a site that had one flash file working fine with the div.menu's and another not working at all, here is the Flash coding that worked (note the swflash.cab version - I matched my flash file to this version when I published it):

<script language="javascript">
 if (AC_FL_RunContent == 0) {
  alert("This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js. In Flash, run \"Apply Active Content Update\" in the Commands menu to copy AC_RunActiveContent.js to the HTML output folder.");
 } else {
  AC_FL_RunContent(
   'codebase', 'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0',
   'width', '186',
   'height', '320',
   'src', 'adtest',
   'quality', 'high',
   'pluginspage', 'http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer',
   'align', 'middle',
   'play', 'true',
   'loop', 'true',
   'scale', 'showall',
   'wmode', 'opaque',
   'devicefont', 'false',
   'id', 'adtest',
   'bgcolor', '#ffffff',
   'name', 'adtest',
   'menu', 'false',
   'allowScriptAccess','sameDomain',
   'movie', 'adtest',
   'salign', ''
   ); //end AC code
 }
</script>

I'm not an expert flash programmer, so don't ask me for any support on this! haha

Hi kloperkid,

can you give you the URL where you found this fix because I'd like to see if it works for me.

Moreover I'm not sure to understand how implant this script for a flash movie.

Thank you
